Morning Lesson June 21, 2021, Transcription
1. Rav’s Introduction: There are a few ways to advance by overcoming foreign thoughts, obstructions, and disturbances and we will soon talk about some of the specific ones. To advance by overcoming is mostly by constantly thinking about intensifying the connection that is becoming established. The essence of the connection will constantly rise and will include within it all the different ways we are already familiar with and depict to ourselves how we can learn and advance. Overcoming is actually all of our work. In order for us to feel ourselves as created beings, that we exist and feel the Creator in our vessels who is sustaining us, we need to constantly go against the forces of separation. This is how the Creator is arranging for us to feel ourselves and His forces in this world. As we work with little ones, with babies, with little children, and with more grown-up children, etc., their corporeal lives are advanced with disturbances that are more sophisticated and complicated and their work is how they find the means, with their own forces, that will help them reach the recognition and understanding of a situation and scrutinize how can they bring together extremes, the black and the white that we have, in the opposite forces of reception and bestowal. In the beginning they only work on distinguishing between these two forces and preferring the force of bestowal to the force of reception. This is called faith above reason, the state of Bina, and later on to receive in order to bestow. This is very high and special and is how we advance. We need to have great patience. One who is greater than his friend, his inclination is greater, and this is why people who have a high soul, a very important one, a very powerful one, also have a greater will to receive. Their correction is a lot slower than other people and this is why no one should compare one’s advancement to another’s advancement. However, it is good to be envious because envy is good to correct your soul. You will not be exactly like the friend in the correction of the soul but rather each and every one is very different. Each individual soul is different from the friends. Our advancement is seeing that we complete each other in the ten. If I am the last and the smallest one, the one who doesn't quite understand and doesn't quite advance but do as much as I can to complete them, that is sufficient, this can be my role for the time being. I need to be satisfied with whatever the Creator is giving me both in terms of the questions and in terms of the answers to these questions. It is important to completely accept all of the states that come to us for completing the 10’s Partzuf, that is that along with the fact that we are criticizing, asking who I am, what am I, what for, what did I do, yes, no, along with that I am in wholeness. In each and every moment I am under the complete control of the upper force, there is none else besides Him. Even though I want to influence, to bestow, to improve my state and the state of the 10, the state of the entire world and the entire vessel of Adam HaRishon, I need to see my correct state. Every moment I have the opportunity to be like a baby, who, at the moment it smiles, gives the greatest joy to his parents. This is how we can advance. We can realize that the Creator demands from us, first of all, our participation, as much as we are capable of, and we are capable of as much as He gives us the conditions. It doesn't matter to me if I will be in a high or a low state. What is important is my participation. If I reach the right participation each time both in quantity and in quality, by that I am incorporated in my 10 and as I keep my role and finish my work, I am ready for the next state. I have prepared myself and my 10 to receive a new task. What else is there in the broken vessel of Adam HaRishon that we can correct? What broken conditions will be revealed to us so that we will be able to try to connect them, etc.
2. S. (9:13) What does it mean that I complete the 10 until it is a complete Partzuf?
R. I depict to myself that all of my friends are performing their role, that they all want to be connected, they are doing all the required work in order to be connected, and I need to be concerned that I will complete my work.
S. You said it is not important what state I am in but what is important is participation. What participation are we talking about?
R. My work in the 10. We can talk a lot about that but I cannot tell you in a single sentence. Complementing what I feel I need to scrutinize in such a way that I understand what is required of me in order to complete the 10. My work is always in scrutinizing what needs to be done in order to complete the 10. The Creator is revealed inside the 10 and by this we fulfill our role at any given moment to give Him contentment.
S. Does willingness to make decisions complete the 10?
R. My participation in the 10 is both the measurement and the application of my spiritual work. Spirituality is 10 egoistic parts that can rise above their egos, which the Creator is awakening, and each is willing to concede their ego in order to be connected with the others above his egoistic disturbances. When they connect together, they are already establishing a spiritual vessel according to the degree of the coarseness, according to the problems that appear and the intensity of the refinement which they achieve. Through prayer and through their efforts, accordingly the reforming light shines on them and they begin to feel the state between them, and what they need to do to complete the situation.
S. The Creator is confusing us with different states. How can we get along correctly? Is it to the extent that you participate in the 10?
R. Yes, but I would not say in such a decisive manner. I check everything only according to how much I invest in my environment, in my 10, because I can be mistaken about this. If I tell you this principle is always the truth, yes, it's true, but the question is can you see this truth? Can you approach it and correct yourself or will you constantly be twisted by your ego? It's not simple to say. We should always see ourselves in the different states that come to us in terms of how we can be more connected. We will be mistaken because our vessels are still corrupted.
3. S. (14:16) Why do we receive the forces of overcoming to the extent of our investment in the environment?
R. Only in the environment can you actualize these forces of overcoming. What does it mean that I am now going to correct something? I understand and feel that I have the possibility to unite the friends and between us, because of the intensifying connection of the 10, we give room to the Creator to come closer to us. By bringing ourselves closer to each other we are giving room to the Creator, we are pulling Him, drawing, and compelling Him to be revealed. This is called ‘my sons have defeated me’. This is all of our work and this is what we have to constantly show and explain to one another.
4. S. (15:46) What is the difference between a correction in man and a correction in the 10?
R. The correction in man and the correction in the 10 is really the same thing. I have nothing to correct besides the 10. I will see my life changing as I correct the 10 and see them change. The correction of the 10 is what determines all of the processes and states that I go through. Eventually this is an inner vessel. There is additional clothing of more external vessels, up to this world which is the most external. We have to see that any state in the world in this external world depends on the power and the manner of the connection between us. Hopefully, this is what we will feel soon and then it will be clear to us. Why do people think that we are corrupting the world or making the world better? When will they discover and talk about it? This is how it will be. because the world overall is whatever we feel ourselves. It is all an external vessel, a shell, around this group that is drawn towards connection and the revelation of the Creator.
5. S. (18:09) Simultaneously a friend has his mother, his wife's mother, and his mother-in-law and that is trauma?
R. If a friend of ours has troubles, then we have to realize that to the extent that he is connected with us, we can influence the Creator or more correctly the Creator's connection with him with that friend. However, this is to the extent that we have a connection with that friend and he's connected with us and a connection with the Creator. To the extent that we locate this connection, we can influence his fate. We awaken ourselves the connections between us and certainly from those connections between us that we awaken in the 10, in that there is also an addition of upper light for that friend and his relatives. That’s on the one hand, on the other hand we can pray this is already a special attitude to the Creator and to the friend and to the states by which the friend is connected to the Creator is connected with him and here we need to see that all of these things that awaken in the friend they are awakening on behalf of the Creator of course there is none else besides Him. Therefore, these states are awakening us or at least they have to awaken us so that we will be concerned about this friend because this friend, it is my 10 it is my spiritual vessel and I have nothing more precious than that. It turns out that it is the Creator who is awakening us through the friend in order for us to awaken him in return. This is called ‘make your will as His will, then I, each one in the 10, will try to pray and to respond to the Creator in the right way for the friend. that we do not accept his form to be an individual form, rather it is a group trouble. It is a group form and this is how we relate to it and accept it to the extent that we are connected, it should be clear to us that this is our collective problem. And even if we don't feel it, we still have to upon that awakening that we receive from the Creator we have to pray and so as to pray for the friend we use this awakening for us to grow stronger and connect more and work for him seemingly as if for him and this is how we will advance. Because one who prays for his friend is rewarded first so that if we get some problems from the friends, and it helps us to connect it helps us to turn to the Creator and by that we are rewarded first because by that we become connected. By this we turn to the Creator and by this the Creator is influencing us, bestowing through us and to that friend the correction, the correction of the vessels and also the fulfillment of the vessels and therefore the situation is actually such that there is none higher than that.
6. S. (22:47) How do I know that I am giving my friends in the 10 that I am bestowing to them?
R. First of all you are connected with all of the friends. You can even talk about it, and even if you don't talk about it, let's say openly it is not always possible. It depends on what are the problems that the friend has. Maybe you don't want to talk about them in front of everyone and the friend, however you participate with the friend in his individual state, as if it is individual. And so, this help, this disposition, it opens up in you to a vessel so that you truly begin to feel the friend as yourself. Because in truth to be in a single vessel means that I feel the trouble of the friend several times over my own trouble. The more we advance in spirituality, more and more I feel the troubles of the friend, that they are in preference at a higher priority relative to my own troubles. This is how I can arrange the entire vessel and reach truly in the degree of the Creator meaning to get closer to Him. This is my entire leverage, my whole possibility for spiritual ascent to get closer to the Creator, is according to how much I elevate the friend above myself. That is, how do I elevate him according to how much his problems and how much helping him is important for me.
7. S. (25:17) Together with the critique, do we need to be in a state where in a state of perfection or wholeness? How is this expressed in the 10 that to be both in critique and scrutiny and also being perfection in the 10?
R. First of all we all need not to forget they were coming from a broken vessel. The Creator prepared the vessel in a complete manner and then He broke it. What does it mean that the Creator broke the vessel? He entered with His power into the connection between us that to begin, what was established by Him it is considered that he created the good inclination. Like Adam HaRishon, we depict him that he was in the Garden of Eden and he had the light of Nefesh in the vessel of Shoresh root and he existed in such a way. Some kind of resting. Later on, by what did the shattering of Adam HaRishon occur? By the Creator, the upper light that is, they entered with His power into the connection that existed between us naturally, and by that we started to discover the gap between us relative to the previous state where we were all interconnected. Adam HaRishon before the sin and Adam HaRishon after the sin are two very different systems in the system following the same in the full power of the Creator has revealed however in a negative way. And we, out of this negative form that exists between us however it is revealed slowly gradually from the lighter to the heavier, we need to correct all of these disturbances and we have to take one layer after the other of disturbances. And in every layer of disturbances, we see our world more corrupted and more in disarray, and more responsible for everything and this is how we correct it through connection between us through prayer through the study, in short, drawing the reforming light. This is what it is all about if I understood your question correctly.
8. S. (28:54) In what connection with the 10 do we need to help a friend who is going through issues in life so that the 10 will be able to help him?
R. If a person gets all kinds of problems that disconnect him from spirituality, then what's left for him is only the corporeal connection with the 10, with the friends. This is why we have a problem here. What is going on and what will happen to him? Here we therefore need to understand that each one will help his friend. His friend means, that friend that is now truly like a sick person and he must get help from the 10. Our whole lack of advancement or very slow advancement is because we do not think about, to what extent we can complete the friends, connect with them. Try to give them all of the forces so as to overcome their situation and be in a perfect whole state, seemingly the correction of each and every friend depends on us, on the other friends and the rest of the friends. We learned this even from the structure of the Partzuf, what can some particular sefira relative to the other 9 Sefirot that can't perform the corrections. We learn this also in the sefira of the counting of the Omer, to what extent we are capable in the connection between us to assemble the complete vessel. However, these are things we will learn later on practically. Whereas to the point right now, what is important for us is to know that each one who falls a little bit, immediately the responsibility for his falling shifts to the group. It's not on the condition that he is doing it on purpose or that he is, it's not because he was too lazy to perform some actions that are required of him. But really the group should become organized and be attentive and alert so that it will see in each and every friend to what extent he is yearning or needs help.
9. S. (32:26) The participation in my complimenting or completing in the 10 is through the implementation of the same state that is revealed to me at that moment or in adding something?
R. It is the same thing in what way can you help the friend, by you adding yourself to the group in order to help him by that, to hug him and to do something above him, for him.
S. Because I find myself in the last few days seemingly doing all that I am supposed to do. I go over the lesson, I call the friend, contact at the meetings, I want somewhere to add but I don't know where to add?
R. Talk to the friends. The best thing is if you talk in which way that you can help the others and you will see that here it is not about each one helping the others but rather that everyone truly belongs to the same corrections. That by some chance, if reason for correction is revealed by friends' acts it's not that it is considered it's revealed through him and that's it but rather, we need to see in that the problem of everyone and the fact that it becomes revealed through certain friends, so that is not our business. This depends on the root of the soul of that friend and the root of the soul of the 10 and the state of the correction that needs to be. We cannot get into it right now and see the corrected state, it’s impossible. Later on, it will be revealed but nevertheless we need to know that from the Creator everything comes to us from perfection to lack of perfection, so we just need to do with the Kabbalist start telling us in such a way like babies we grow and then like older children. So, we have to continue and a penny and a penny joins to a great amount and there is nothing you can do about it but only to correct what is important today. The most important thing is that you also talk about it and throughout the day, you have time to work and you have time to scrutinize and time for criticism and results of whatever you did throughout the day. It should be practical work just like let's say you together in the 10 come to some factory, a place of work, and you need to do certain actions there. So, you discuss what action should we do, then how do we carry it out, how do we do it, how can we see the results of our work, and that way finish the day. In that you can be certain that we did everything that we could do. And tomorrow certainly we will have difficult states, maybe more than today, that will give us heavier work, more difficulty that requires more responsibility etcetera. We will try to do it in the best possible way and then with joy that we have already grown from today to tomorrow we go to sleep and we get up the next day.
S. So when we talk between us throughout the day until some place that we need to work on is revealed and that's actually the way we add?
R. If we are working correctly then we discover places for our work all the time all the time. If a person is sitting idle, perhaps he doesn't know where else he can complete something, it is a bad sign. That is the Creator is not revealing to us sources by which we can advance by which we can come closer to Him and seemingly he is disregarding our connection and our ability to come closer to Him and bring Him contentment, that is He is rejecting us. This is a state that requires examination. What did we do?
10. S. (38:25) We have wonderful friends in our 10 and each one is annulling himself more than the other one and each one is bringing high spirits to the 10. Now how do we know that they are suffering? How do we detect this desire that they have and they need the prayers from the 10?
R. Look, I don't need to get into the problems of others. In such a way that I have to know them, I need to know everything. This is not possible except from the degree of the end of correction but for the time being, I need to see which way I can help each and every friend to be in a good spirit. That is first of all, that is number one. A good mood, a good spirit and a good spirit means that each and every one of them, of the friends will get from me, some positive awakening. This means that they will want to go forward and they will have light in their eyes. The upper ray of light will pull them and they will truly advance in such a way towards connection and bestowal and towards the Creator. This is actually my work, that is I need to feel here, feel myself that I am on the path on the way from their present state to their corrected state. Meaning, I am on the way between each one of them and all of them together and to the Creator. In this way, I am like Moses here who needs to pull them to the Creator. I am here like Moses who has to turn to the Creator in order to help so that my whole group, my 10 will connect more, that will get closer to the Creator. Plus getting closer is the same as us getting closer to the Creator. This is how we do the whole work. The more it will be emotional and less intellectual the better it is. Because then we will start to work with all of our connections inside of us and not externally as if it exists on the outside.
11. S. (41:29) You used quite a lot of the word power, so the question is what is this intensity, the power and spirituality? Is there an expression to it in the 10?
R. The power is a very simple power, it means force of connection, the force of rejection. All in all, we have two forces in creation the will to receive and the will to bestow and accordingly you can use the definition of this power of this force's power intensity.
S. In the lessons every day that we go over there are many materials and my question is how to relate to this in the right way and how to implement it correctly in the 10?
R. Talk about it throughout the day as much as possible each and every one, if he has the possibility to talk to the others however try to not to disturb them too much and it will advance in this way there is nothing else to add here there's nothing new here.
12. S. (42:53) How does a 10 need to operate the moment one friend receives a blow, what are the stages?
R. First of all we need to quietly between us to scrutinize his situation as much as we can. Scrutinize his state to the state to the extent that we can get in and become partners in that situation. To take part in it and then to see what exactly our participation should be. Only in the form of spiritual connection, spiritual support so that he doesn't even know it and he doesn't feel it or can we also approach this corporeally and, in this way, to see the group that is coming and seemingly taking the place of the friend. That is, he has some trouble in light and we come in his stead and we take this trouble upon ourselves. this is how it works this is how it should work.
13. S. (44:19) Lately everything has emotional relations in the 10 and that's where it stands but what does it mean that I am part of the 10 on an emotional level but not intellectual level?
R. At first when a person enters spiritual work, he does not have spiritual senses, he does not know what to do exactly. Also, our life as a result of preparation for spirituality is a very difficult life. It is a hard life. It is lacking emotions between us. On the contrary, we are all built in a way that we do not want altogether to be connected to one another. As little as possible, because why do I need this, it puts me into some dependency or belonging to others and therefore what happens to us is that we don't want in our lifetime to be dependent on one another. Whereas in the group, it is to the contrary. If we talked about the fact that we need to come to the system of Adam HaRishon, and the system needs to be as ‘one man in one heart’ where we all connect in such a way that is just like in the body, we find ourselves belonging to one another truly like the different parts of the body or of the system. This is what we need to take care of, how we can complete one another internally in the connections between us and then slowly during the years these are very long and prolonged corrections. But we will gradually feel that each of us has something in the other and he cannot do anything on his own but only through the other and he needs in order to connect, correct himself to awaken the bestowal the influence of the friend upon himself and then he needs in order to correct himself in order to bestow to the friend and that is his correction that he is in the friend and does this work specifically in overcoming and so on meaning there are many results from this incorporation of vessels in one another.
S. It's still unclear. If I am in an intellectual contact or emotional?
R. If you start working, you'll see that there is practical work here and not the way that you are talking which is all in some kind of theoretical way, start working on this more and more and talk between you. Try to come into some connection between you with all of your hearts. That’s it then you'll see that there is a system here that operates between you and it draws you to participate they're both emotionally and intellectually.
14. S. (48:51) Please tell what is it happened when if it does happen such an inversion where we in the 10 in parallel to the senses that we have our eyes, we see in hear one another and by this we notice things but at what point do we begin if at all to feel and sense and see the forces that exist between us the force that is activating us will such a thing ever have?
R. It will happen when you're ready for it. But for the time being your connection is very external. That's it we need to transfer it to more internal states. It's not enough to talk about opening the heart but rather we need to really open the heart. That takes a long time.
S. What is this kind of overcoming over my own existence, over my ego so that it will happen?
R. It only depends on the internal states a person goes through to the extent in which you, more and more, read our sources, mainly in Shamati and want to be connected with everyone as much as possible to the extent to what you want to pass on this method to others that really helps. We need to continue with this.
15. S. (50:45) To advance by overcoming can we give it a definition that this is the revelation of the method with respect to the 10?
R. Yes, certainly that's correct.
16. S. (51:08) How in the morning lesson can we find the right deficiencies for a common prayer?
R. First of all I need to understand that if I am in a certain 10, then maybe it seems to me like I fell on some 10 by chance by mistake, and when I look at other 10s, it may be, over there is somewhat preferred to my 10. And why am I here and they are there and who knows what other such questions stem from doubts. I need to understand that beyond all those doubts and other feelings like that, the upper force is there that arranges these doubts for me and also beyond those doubts, are also the solutions. Therefore, all these questions are from the type that I need to strengthen in none else besides Him. And beyond all that the place where I am, just like we don't choose our father and mother, we are born we don't know who they are and what they are and what's going on there. Later when I grow up, I certainly can't replace my father and mother and I understand that I can't because only they love me and only, I belong to them etc. This is how we also do in the group. it's just that in the group we are explained to that it doesn't happen by chance that we are like that. Just like by chance we are born by a certain father and mother and where a boy and a girl meet and they give birth to their offspring. No in spirituality we are explained also in corporeality it is this way but in spirituality we can understand that it is all built upon a record that from the shattering they need to awaken and therefore it is no wonder that such strangers meet and between them want to come closer and grow spiritually. This is how we do our entire correction is in us trying to build the connection between us. In a way that covers all crimes and it is not important to us what crimes but we need to cover them. This is why this is how we grow. We do not do any critique on the 10 but to the extent to which I can participate in it and that's where my advancement comes.
17. S. (54:23) How do we see the Creator, between, behind each and every friend?
R. If I accept as it is written from the articles of Baal HaSulam and Rabash and all together all of the Kabbalist, if I accept those things as all this reality is arranged according to the records from the shattered Adam HaRishon then I have nothing else to do but to participate in the group, in the 10, in the work upon these records and to try each time see the group more and more unique and united throughout the day. Where I am looking only are we more special, are we more united in such a way that I am looking at it as to say yes today we advanced somewhat at least where we were in states that were so different and may be difficult for connection and we overcame them. We overcame them and brought forth a connection between us. It is a must that we will do such a calculation at the end of the day, a summary. That is called the prayer on the bed, that is what we call this prayer before you go to sleep.
18. S. (56:00) How can we increase the mutual dependency in the10?
R. That is very simple certainly as usual it's in all the degrees but actually the principle is simple because I can't correct myself if I don't enter into a certain connection with others. From that connection with others, I feel the topic of what I need to correct the lack of connection, connection both between us and to the extent of the lack of the connection with the Creator. It turns out that if we want to connect between us, then the correct connection between us, what does it mean the right connection, it means where we in the connection between us will locate the Creator whether He is there or He is missing. Therefore, I am constantly checking in the connection between us until I discover a vessel for the revelation of the Creator, what is a vessel for the revelation of the Creator, a vessel is a deficiency, what is the deficiency between us to bring contentment to the Creator. By what do we bring contentment to the Creator by giving him a place to clothing us and to delight in us and this is how we build ourselves in a spiritual manner.
19. S. (57:45) In this process of correction we advance, do we advance or are we on time or are we late according to how we should be advanced?
R. Look, this is like with the children that were raising. Therefore, it is written about that and it's not just like that that is written it is the sorrow of raising sons, where you want to raise sons, that are considered that later they will become men and they will be able to overcome and move forward. in faith above reason and overcome their desire. So there is a sorrow of the raising of sons through this and the sorrow becomes from the lack of Mercy where if we don't show on another help in the form of Mercy where we draw the light of Mercy through us to the friends in the 10 then the work is certainly very difficult and long but we need to understand that one will help his friend which is the main thing in the correction of our vessel which we need to identify as a common vessel. In the correction of the vessels, we need the light of Bina, the light of bestowal. The reforming lights. There are many names for it.
20. S. (59:33) How do we overcome the feeling of contradiction that on one hand we want to raise the spirit in the 10 and on the other hand we want to put in a greater effort?
R. I don't think you can have this without that. We need to reveal both the positive forms and negative forms as one since these and those complete one another and support one another. Try to connect such states and if you don't succeed then address him and we will do it.
S. This means that we shouldn't be afraid of bringing up things that might help to bring us forward even if it brings a feeling of pressure?
R. That's under the condition that you know how to awaken these things that will awaken the group and not fail us and make us drop. That's how we need to say it.
21. S. (01:01:00) How can we advance if our 10 is showing up in pieces and not always the same people it's not always that everybody comes to the lesson and the meetings of the 10 there are different people each time so this advancement me to make the friends come to the lesson in the 10 or should we always just keep looking forward and just wait for the friends to join by themselves?
R. No, I cannot wait until the friends will need or join if I feel like the friends are not gathering, which is especially during our morning lesson, the general lesson of the daily lesson, then I must connect to them and demand participation from them, it is truly that way it is a must. If we are not connected during the morning lesson no matter what kind of connection even if it is the smallest possible one and I am operating in my intellect and not my feelings it is nevertheless participation. I do not have any other possibility of being connected to others other than the material in the lesson, the daily morning lesson. We will just call it the daily lesson because it's not morning in the other part of the world.
22. S. (01:02:45) A bit earlier you said we need to open our heart truly, what does it mean to open the heart?
R. To open the heart is considered that I feel the states of the friend like my states and even more than my states.
23. S. (01:03:20) How do we reach from this relativity where it is all one opposite the other and everything is disintegrated, how do we come to something that is called absolute, complete?
R. By exertion in the group, what do you want to hear from me, tell me?
24. S. (01:03:48) In each and every 10 there are always two parts, seemingly one is running forward and they have the force of overcoming and there is a part that does not have it and a gap is created, how do we overcome this gap between the two parts?
R. WSQ. You need to talk between you. Let Let's say now we will do a break for 5 minutes and during those five minutes you talk between you, what do we eventually need to do in practicality during this time, not necessarily today doesn't seem like you do it during the day, what do we need to do, what's ahead of us so that we will truly come to a state in which will we become a spiritual group, a spiritual 10? Each operates inside his 10 that's it that's one question. The question that later we can discuss nevertheless, is by which actions by which deeds and forms of overcoming can we come to a state that the Creator will awaken all of the friends and not leave them in spiritual and corporeal death but rather bring them to the lesson? So please the second question you.discussed during the day the first question is please we are discussing it now.
25. R. (01:11:34) I received many times a question about the fact that a person says why can’t I leave my 10 and move to another 10? There is no question that a person just like that wants to leave at 10 because it is clear to him that everything that we learned to leave 10, according to all the writings of the Kabbalist that from the times of Baal Shem Tov and even before him, it is written the group or death. In our most ancient sources, either you are in the society or you are dead spiritually meaning. So here comes the question.
WSQ: If a person feels inside of his 10 that something is not working out and something doesn't click and doesn't work for him where he is critiquing and there is a critique upon him going on are what's happening and what needs to happen so that a person will have clear proof that he has to leave the group, the 10, otherwise he is bothering them and they are bothering him or all kinds of such results from his presence in the 10 when can a person say I am leaving the 10 and this is right. Meaning the Creator brings me to such a state in which I have to leave them. They could say that the Creator brought us to a state in which we divorce you. Are there such states? To such an extent we can come in order to say that this person, that part of the 10, that truly bothers and is redundant. That is a question? Can we put together a list of conditions that if a person does not observe those things, we can fire him from the 10 or that he feels in some way that he is ridden from the 10 or expelled from it.
26. S. (01:17:12) Recently it feels in the 10 and I see it's also according to the questions in the world there is a lot dealing with the organization of who shows up more or less, should we deal with this all the time or just let it be in deal with something else?
R. We need to engage in the building of our vessel as a vessel that is adapted to the system of Adam HaRishon which is corrected. If it belongs to that system, then it is right for us to deal with it. That is the main work that we have is to bring the shattered vessel of the general soul called Adam to a state from the shattering to correction. If then all of the parts are connected together in two 10s and all the 10s into one 10 which is a 10 complete Sefirot and the Creator inside of them, this is our work. Don't call it organizational work as I can't stand that word, organizational, as it makes this a qualification here because it is very important work. If we are organizing a system in which later, we are doing some important building, no. This is the most important building because if you organize correctly the 10 friends or however it doesn’t matter how many, but if you arrange the 10 correctly the connection between them you will discover between them the relations called the upper world, called the Creator. There is an externality and this is the world and there is internality which is the Creator. Don't call it organizational even though the word itself is correct. It throws us into some external relation towards building the group. Building the group is the Partzuf of the 10 Sefirot it is a spiritual structure. Why spiritual? Because each and every one rises above his ego in order to relate in bestowal towards the others.
S. I feel in the 10 investing a lot of energy in the friends who don't show up to the lesson and they participate less and less about the connection between us. How do we advance?
R. Engage in more connection between you and with the friends who don't come to the lesson tried twice to bring them to the lesson in all kinds of ways and if not then leave them as probably they're not capable and from time to time have someone to be responsible and remind them of that and later they will advance through suffering.
S. If a friend doesn't show up, I need to talk to him and demand that he will come up. What does it mean?
R. To demands because if he is in a 10 then he must participate in the 10 and participation in the 10 is first of all above everything participation in the lesson.
S. If there's a friend who comes he has to wake and chooses to participate then?
R. There's no such thing as he's choosing or that he's choosing to come, today you come you connect through your internet lines, you don't move from your place or your apartment so what does it mean he is choosing to come and go? I remember driving half an hour or 40 minutes from Rehovot to Bnei Brak, and when I asked Rabash about moving closer, he said no, it is best to give forth more effort, more exertion. But to travel at night to be in the morning on all of those roads until I get to the place that wasn't so pleasant. He said it is worthwhile when I used to go to my father's lesson. I would go through an Arab Village which was very anti-Jewish but I had no choice as the only way was through this village. I would go every day to study and my father didn't say stop, don't come. In those times there were no phones or anything like that, it was not simple. For us we wake up out of our bed and next to your bed you have a computer sitting there. What is your problem? This is called to come to the lesson, it is a true joke.
27. S. (01:23:31) How can we help a friend to overcome the obstacles and join the morning lessons?
R. First of all, through awakening yourself of greater importance to the morning lesson and pray to the Creator to help you deliver this importance to your friends and pass it to them so it will enter from your heart to the heart of that friend. There are several actions here that you decide that you need to bestow to a friend, that in order to bestow to him you need to accumulate this bestowal in your hearts and when you are working on the importance of overcoming in the common heart and you want to send what you are feeling in your heart to the friend so they will come to the morning lesson. Then you will see the clear results.
28. S. (01:25:11) You asked us about conditions within the 10 and many times we have heard you say about demanding from friends in the 10 so the question is, can the 10 actually place certain conditions about serving the friends as far as maintaining a framework? Because if the framework is not maintained then we don't have a structure, so what is our responsibility to maintain that framework for each friend in the 10?
R. These are necessary conditions in order to connect in the 10, to incorporate in the 10 and to advance with the 10 to correction. How without incorporating, without connecting to the 10 can you come to correction as the whole correction comes from us integrating together. The correction is only on behalf of the vessel that we connect to between us. What is even the question as we don't understand how the system is built? That everything depends upon the connection between the parts.
S. It is more of a question of maintaining the structure of the meetings that we go to. Do we demand that the friends pitch in to help with the moderating duties and all of these things because without it we don't have a structure yet there are some friends who participate in their other friends who do not.
R. You Americans need to do some introspection all together as you have so many opportunities and possibilities and you are the ones who are most behind from the whole world Kli, you are the part that is. I don't know what to call it. It is too bad from all of the millions of people in North America, in the United States and Canada that you sometimes appear on my screen. Sometimes, Relative to Turkey, Italy and all kinds of other groups. So, what am I trying to say? That in your neglect for spiritual advancement you are inviting upon yourself forces that are beating you and bringing your problems and troubles and from those troubles you will advance. That is what I see according to your presence in the morning lesson, your future is completely not looking good.
29. S. (01:28:50) We in Latin America on Shabbat and Saturday and Sunday we don't work and many people and friends are with their family causing many people not to come to the morning lesson on Shabbat and Sunday and we consider them as friends if they don't come to that morning lesson because they're with their families?
R. Yes, by you it is a morning lesson that turns out to be in the afternoon, that you are engaged with families and I respect your attitude towards family's very much and I am happy that it is good and warm. What I recommend is that you shall record the morning lesson of ours and later on watch it at some time that you can gather and by this not bothering your families, but rather when your families are sleeping or engaged in something that you can be in connection and listen to the morning lesson. What can you do if you can't otherwise? I don't think it is such a problem that in any case we can determine sometime that you will participate with us in some title as part of the morning lesson.
30. S. (01:30:59) We have a friend who has his own shape and interpretation for what we here
R. If a person does not participate in the group activities, then I don't even want to hear his opinion about all sorts of our activities. If he is not with us, not under the influence of our approach, our method. Then I don't want to hear a word from him and he shouldn't even open his mouth. That is my firm attitude towards such people that they come as wise ones, they don't understand things and they want to share their opinion with everyone. I tell everyone that if you're not in the morning lesson and participating in the group activities and don't open your mouth, shut it and say thank you that you are allowed to be present in our activities. If you want to be participating, then you will have the privilege to speak. Then you need to be also in all of the morning lessons. Beginning with that and after two or three months already, we will understand that you are allowed to talk and only in such a manner.
31. S. (01:32:57) If we have to make a list, what is the men’s criteria to remove a friend from the 10?
R. The acts toward separating the 10, that it gives a bad example in his steady manner about the 10, about the method, about the organization, all of these things that truly include our foundation that we base ourselves on, that we want to build a vessel for the revelation of the Creator, to bestow to the Creator. If he doesn't relate to it correctly by having the proper attitude then we can take him out of the group on the condition that it could be that he doesn't understand these things and that we need to bring him to a state that he should understand that this is the main thing. Let's work on him and it could be that he has a very heavy soul, very hard, very large and that he needs to invest a lot more force and years in order to reach an understanding of the true work. When he reaches it, you won't stop him anymore and truly he can make very large corrections. Meaning, heaviness in grasping of the spiritual work on a person's side despite his investment and he wants, yet he is not capable to grasp it, that it shows upon the size of the soul that's before us, we have a very unique condition, a very hard, difficult, coarse soul. Even though his beginning is hard he will go far.
32. S. (01:36:00) Not so long ago something happened in our 10 and the 10 decided to remove one of the friends so now we are in a situation where it is as if only, I see in the 10 that we do need this friend to come and that if we could rise above all of this it would be beneficial for the 10. It is not so clear what my weakness is that I am still thinking about this or that I don't agree with the friends?
R. That is a problem because if the whole group agreed unanimously other than you that they need to take him out of the group then they must have very clear proof to do such. There is nothing to talk about then, that your sensation is different whether correct or incorrect. How do you know who you are and what you are deciding correctly or incorrectly? We are talking regarding the principles that if the 10 determines them, that is it is not according to your sensation but according to the decision of the 10.
33. S. (01:37:39) Previously we heard you turning to some part of the Kli and showing you our discontent, we are in an integral world and Kli is connected. If there's problems in one part, we all feel it, how do we relate to this?
R. I don't know, I am speaking to a few other friends and I don't understand this whole system that you have in the 10s and in between the 10s in the organization of BB. I recommend that you turn to who is responsible, boardworldkli@gmail.com . Please turn to them to decide about these things. You're not making decisions hastily and in general I really don't belong to all of this because I'm not in all of your connections. I think that you need to go by the articles of Rabash and Baal HaSulam to know how to direct yourself correctly. It is not that it is organizational work, it is spiritual work in the most internal manner possible as we are speaking about the organization of a vessel, the connection of parts into one vessel to truly reach the revelation of creation.
S. How to turn if there is a 10 anywhere in the world that thinks that one of the friends is not suitable and can't stay there, he doesn't do that on his own you turn to your head of the language or this email and you should discuss the case and decide together.
R. Yes, that is how it is as usually such things don't reach me and I don't clarify or do anything other than events that are truly in a general obvious clear disturbance to the whole organization, there are a few people like that. I understand that what can you do here because we are all in the process of corrections but if a person is truly disturbing others, it is for his benefit to leave.
S. Previously speaking about America and you are discontent with what is going on there?
R. In our usual daily lesson you don't normally see more than one group from America on this screen asking questions, that is how it is and also according to their participation in all sorts of things in our routine life. Is that true or not? We have representatives of our system saying that's not true so how come I don't feel them on the screen before me? As they are not asking questions so their participation is low.
S. We can see their numbers on the system.
R. I see here only the usual, France, Germany, New York is now here, Turkey.
S. How can we help what is going on there?
R. It is a part of our Kli so yes please take care of it.
Excerpt 21 (01:43:45) Twice
34. R. (01:46:45) Request more forces and then request guidance and this is all in turning to the Creator to the extent that you take advantage of all of your states to 100%.
35. S. (01:47:11) Can come in the middle of the prayer or the study of Torah what does this mean?
R. When a person is already in study and prayer and organizing the 10, after he has already finished the beginner's course and he's studying with us a few years and he looks at everything that is happening and he understands what belongs to what. Then how he arranges himself. all of his attitude to the drawing of the abundance will be optimal. Meaning. how do I need to arrange myself such that my request will be a strong and correct request.
36. S. (01:48:23) We have students in the young groups that have been there for two or three years on the path and it's clear not everyone is in a full framework there as one of the friends after investing a lot in connecting and trying he feels that he wants to change and be in a 10 with a full framework. This is our goal for everyone so how does he tell the 10 that the connection and the instructors support this?
R. First of all why are you turning to me with this? If we just spoke about this that I am not into these matters and don't decide on them usually I am just awakening you to turn to the friends in charge. Once again you are giving a bad example by turning to me. What do you want from me? I am not engaging in organizational questions. I don't get into this and if you want to hear from me the conditions which the Kabbalists think about how a group must be arranged in order to reach corrections and the end of correction then I will tell you about that because I am familiar with the sources. But if you were telling me about some private problems there that somebody has in some group then I don't know how to solve that or what to do. That is why we have systems. You need to turn to them. We spoke about this and you still turn to me.
S. There is a clear decision that this friend should change tens and the whole system agrees with that, they had the scrutiny that he should leave the 10. How should the 10 accept the fact that he is leaving?
R. My recommendation again is to turn to the people in charge and there they shall tell you because they have the experience as they are into this. Why are you turning to me with such a private question about some group and a friend who has an issue?
S. The idea is that it is about the connection of the 10 because these are friends that were together.
R. You can say that about everything in life and in the world that it is all tied to the Kli all right. I'm sorry that it's still not clear. I'm certain that there are others who are unclear as well and we will get more problems as a result from this. You have an address to turn to and it is not me as I give the lesson who explains to you what is written in the sources. Sometimes from this that we are learning the sources, there are questions that arise and we don't know how to solve them so you have people who are professionals that have a lot of experience who are also familiar with all of these roles. They know what is happening in the groups and they will tell you, I do not know about that as I am not tied to the life of the groups.
37. S. (01:52:54) How do we use these awakenings that we received from above to complement each one in the 10?
R. Everyone needs to bring his private personal awakening that he receives from above to the general awakening of the group of his and that is how he participates. You need to know that until you don't incorporate the private awakening of each one in the incorporation of the group in greater and greater intensity that is felt in the general connection then you are still not there and what you received goes to Klipot. If a person is not strengthened by the group.
38. S. (01:54:18) What is more important, the morning lesson or the connection between us?
R. The morning lesson but I don't understand what you mean by more important. Do you have some time in life that is for this or that?
S. We have the time for but there are many friends who don't come.
R. Just understand where you are and what is happening onwards is your work, as if spirituality is important to you, if it is and if not, it is not. We will meet in other states, then where you will talk about what you have and what you reach. Spirituality is something very simple, you can't do anything they're like in corporeality as you can't fix people up and lie, you have judgment towards the upper ideal system, if you carry it out you advance if you don’t it is like anything else.
39. S. (01:56:00) What should a person measure so that the awakenings won't confuse him?
R. As much as he can to strengthen the group, very simple as you need to understand, the connection in the group needs to reach a state that the Creator will be revealed, very simple. So why are we not working on this, why are we not placing it before I say the goal, because it's against the ego but the goal must be in any case.
S. It is not always clear how I person manages that he is through with the situation.
R. Enough with all of the evasions, there are a thousand questions here that anybody can ask whether he is righteous or not. That is your problem with the system. I stand on this side and I tell you what the system is and how you must enter it if you want to reach the degree of the spiritual world and how by connection to rise from degree to degree. This is my work, this is my role but besides this you turn to me like I can give you some doctor's note, right, like you're in the army or something, that oh you are sick so you are absolved of all of your actions and activities in the army.
S. What is the difference between awakening and revelation of the Creator?
R. Awakening comes from below and revelation of the Creator comes from above their opposite things.
40. S. (01:58:13) The abundance fills us with joy but how can I overcome the fear in the work that I am doing in order to receive rather than to give?
R. That depends on the upper light how much it will influence you and bring you what is called the light of faith in the heart of man and then you are in fear not to lose the faith, you are in fear from descending from the demand to bestow, you in fear of losing your level bestowal to the level of receiving, it all depends on the level of light which influences you.
Excerpt 22 (01:59:30) Twice
41. R. 01:01:55) We need also to not run away from the troubles but rather to understand that they come specifically to people who are capable of rising above them and turning all of these troubles into degrees of ascent.
42. S. (02:02:20) I just understood that the more we advance in Torah and Mitzvot the more we awaken the left line?
R. Yes.
43. S. (02:02:44) What does it mean that a person believes that there is none else besides Him?
R. That is a sensation that only the upper force is present and operates in all of reality.
Excerpt 23 (02:03:31)
44. S. (02:05:05) Towards the good states and the bad states, corporeal and spiritual, we understand towards each and every one, that we are checked and measured and given opportunities to advance. So, we should not suddenly have the thought that there are things that are not so important, everything is important and can influence my spiritual progress. I need to make an effort to relate also in the bad states and a good state that they come from the same source, a bit lighter or a bit less and I need to relate to them correctly that I don't relate to that but to the result of how much I reach bestowal of contentment to the Creator.
45. S. (02:06:19) We know the Creator knows everything that goes through our heart. What is this feeling of being examined?
R. Of course we need this, this is why it is called the work of the Creator. Some people say it isn't, some people say it's the work of man, people need to see how the Creator works upon us.
S. What is the relation when a person discovers that he is being examined?
R. Yesterday I needed to depict myself who I have business with, who is receiving my work and who I turn to. I am only in front of the Creator and there is none else besides him and I need to raise my work such that I am only with respect to him.
S. Yesterday you also said that we should see ourselves as being in front of the Creator, in His presence, so should we strengthen this feeling that we are always in a test and examination from the upper and how will I respond?
R. The best thing is to feel that I am within the Creator, within the system of Adam HaRishon and that through my friends I turn to the upper force that surrounds everything and this is how I see myself in the world and this picture is very simple.
46. S. (02:08:31) The excerpts we read really touch the heart, it seems the more we advance on the path there's a danger of being thrown out of the path. This is a fear and there's always a feeling that without the 10 in the morning lessons that we won't be able to advance directly.
R. Opening TES, every wisdom if you open now, you will get confused. You will get confused by what is written there on the screen as there are certain lights and screens, it seems to you that you are working with spiritual mechanics of what is happening between the light and vessel and that is entirely incorrect. The main thing is to be aware that it is happening in man so we need to learn this internally as that is our work. A lot of forces are demanded for this, attention and heartfelt study to bring it from external to an internal matter according to what we are learning or just called the internality of the Torah. We need to make the effort in order to understand that it is really talking about the soul and the connection between us into one general soul Adam HaRishon and the Creator that fills it and changes all of the manners of the connections in Adam HaRishon. Together we are Adam.
S. This means that what you are saying is we should do whatever you are saying and nothing else will help?
R. Nothing will help besides connection with the friends and prayer to the Creator as that is the entire wisdom of Kabbalah the entire approach to spirituality. Imagine to yourself how much this principle is clear to Kabbalists and what they did afterwards to the nations of the world that met with this method and turned it into religions, In 1001 different forms. The principle though is very simple and direct, the desire to receive needs to connect above itself and in this connection to gather all of the parts of the connection which are the vessels and in them to reveal the connection with the upper force of the Creator.
47. S. (02:12:03) I must ask this question, what is so important here in the morning lesson that the teacher is so particular about the participation, what can I tell the friends who are missing this?
R. I don't know, you are turning to me but this is your work as I see people here who are with me for many years and so if you don't know how to turn to the friends, I can't do that. You need to find the words, you need to speak amongst yourselves with what words and manner or form that you will appeal and besides you nobody, ask of the Creator to help you.
Excerpt 24 (02:13:18)
48. R. (02:15:45) If we want that the upper force shall truly be our God that in such a manner it takes us out of our desire to receive.
49. S. (02:16:00) These questions by Pharaoh of who and what are they questions that come from me or is it the I asking this question?
R. I feel this question, what is this work for you, who is the Creator and what are all the questions, I feel these questions are in me.
50. S. (02:16:46) Many times we have to imagine the desired state in the 10. How can a friend set an example or how can he act after he understands that there is NEBH none else besides him?
R. I can't answer that because many friends are in that state and all sorts of changes and I can't answer some question that you are asking privately, just like coincidentally, I cannot. The principles that we receive from what the Kabbalists write, these principles need to bring us to some solution, to some question, to organize some question and then turn with it to the Creator. But the way that you are asking, you need to work with this but the problem is that the lesson ends and that everything ends and everything else is your ordinary beastly life and that is not good. It cannot be needed to live all of the time with this question throughout the course of the life to awaken it again and again and you will see that even in such a manner that you are talking to the friends without doing something with them. Just by this that you are awakening your deficiency that you want to know what is happening here. Already from here you will receive an answer from above, try it but in any case, if you will debate it and speak about it together then of course it will be a quick and deep scrutiny.
51. S. (02:19:12) According to the excerpts, why does a person ask for mercy from the Creator when self-love is placed on his neck and he is despaired of mercy seems there is a contradiction here?
R. If a person doesn't believe that the Creator is the good that does good, how can he pray to him or even that he feels that he doesn't feel the Creator as the good that does good. But he turns to him in any case for the Creator to arrange for him to correct relations. There are many options here and, in any case, we see that the Kabbalists obligated everyone to pray and request, to enter into connection between them somehow. You have many conditions better in the life of man that can carry out conditions of connection and love even though he's not learning the wisdom of Kabbalah. He needs to be like some beast in the forest. He can be really nice to each other and speak about nice things but in any case, we need to see in what form or manner, in what options that we can advance toward building the system of Adam HaRishon that the connection between everyone is the main thing.
Excerpt 25 (02:21:21)
52. R. (02:22:45) That is the matter of the partnership, deficiency rises from below and there is a reaction from above and this to help one another, the upper and the lower one as the lower one cannot rise above his state, cannot correct himself only when they are tied together do, they understand the mutual role that they have, this is called each one shall help his friend. So I am asking with all of your organizational problems again turn to the people who are responsible boardworldkli@gmail.com as you see on the screen and must be a bit more serious to what we are doing that we can truly enter states that belong to practical spiritual work and try to ask, not just me but also all sorts of systems in the organization, to understand that I am not running away. I want to build the organization such that it will exist after me a long time until we bring all of humanity to the end of correction. This is what I would like, what the results will be, will be with the aid of the Creator.
