Morning lesson April 11, 2021 Transcription
1. Rav’s Introduction: The Creator who created the will to receive, is existence out of absence. He arranged for him various conditions so that this will to receive will become a created being. A created being means he's opposite the Creator on the one hand. On the other hand he should be a complete creature, meaning he'll be able to attain the whole Creator and be in that wholeness. Otherwise the Creator cannot do it out of his fullness what he does is the whole thing complete thing and although this wholeness becomes evident to us over time cross continuous actions we can see from one end to the other what is the endpoint what is the end result, but we need to believe the Kabbalists, that this is the way everything is organized so the same will to receive the Creator created, from the very beginning he created it from as a result of the goal he had in mind bring it to identify with the quality which he is himself. Therefore in the will to receive, a created being inside of it, there is a yearning, an inclination, a disposition to reach the revelation of the Creator to the degree of the Creator. The perception of, the connection with the Creator varies to various degrees various levels of that in each and every created being because the will to receive that was created is undergoing a shattered and all the desires begin to feel a force opposite of the Creator, the will to receive. Then we need to discover them and reveal them and see that the true state is to return to the state we were in before the shattering, as we truly are in our root.
Only that upper force exists and we exist in it, we don't come out of it because nothing exists outside of it and what appears to us that we are outside of him, opposite to him, he doesn't exist and we exist and in some strange way which we can't define. All of that seems to us for the time being, so that we will discover by ourselves a desire, the necessity, the need to return and unify in the Creator, adhere to the Creator. The desire the Creator created seemingly exist outside of him, a desire is called a soul. The truth, other than the Creator, the will to receive, that created that Soul nothing exists and we as parts of that song, feel ourselves as existing separately where I don't care about what's happening with others, I can be interested in them only to the extent that I feel that I depend on them, and if I don't feel I depend on them, then there can never be a desire in me that awakens towards them, a thought about them, they don't exist and to such an extent they don't exist that we can't feel we can't remember, we can't take into consideration all the others because if I don't feel dependence on them in my desire then they don't exist. The only thing that exists is that which was felt, revealed in the desire and we have to correct this desire to return to the complete vessel to incorporate in everyone and to feel the Creator completely.
That is our work and that's why this wisdom, this method is called the wisdom of Kabbalah, of reception, how to receive and reveal the complete reality, the true reality connects all of its parts together. Accordingly on all these parts there were separate, shattered, distant from one another, when they connect according to our efforts accordingly will be reviewing them as light, a force that fills them. Seemingly the Creator, created the will to receive, together with the will to receive he seemingly shattered in our perception, to such a degree that he is seemingly not present, and we feel him only as the force that sustains me, that gives me life. To the extent we try to bring these parts together, accordingly we can discover the Creator in the way that is more real, determined, more existing, various modes. The design, the desire that the Creator created and filled with his light and his power is called the soul of Adam HaRishon, Adam, because he resembles the Creator and later he goes through various states this desire divides, breaks, pieces are moving apart, separated, undergoing interchanges. These parts are called the souls of man. we'll talk about it along the way.
We need to understand that the purpose of creation is from that sold at the Creator created called Adam or Adam haRishon that was shattered into pieces and we are those pieces. We have to try and reassemble ourselves again into the system of one man. This is the meaning of being completely interdependent and to connect to such a degree that according to our desire our vessel, our qualities we will resemble the Creator fully. Then accordingly according to how much we try and succeed in connecting then we'll feel inside of us that the Creator is dwelling in us and we feel in it and we feel adhesion with the force of a bestowal the Creator inside our course of reception, the created beings.
Excerpt 1 (10:05 - 11:17) x2
2. S. (11:21) How should we reveal that deficiency by integrating our desires into one piece?
R. We connect this way also in technology and computers. We understand that if we connect more and more cells of memory cells, we can complete more complex software. And if we bring strangers together, different people, we can connect them and be able to see things more clearly. Connection brings us to a higher degree of feeling and scrutiny. That's how we connect in our world. In spirituality, the thing is that we have to connect in our desires. We cannot link our desires into one desire because the shattering took place and it remains, and even if we correct it, we only correct it, meaning only all those fault lines, all those breaking points that happened each and every part that broke into the soul of Adam HaRishon. When this entire system shatters, one desire shattered into strange desires, distant desires that remain far, distant, strange, they remain like that and we connect them together above that.
This is our work meaning we cannot return exactly to that system of Adam as it was before the shattering rather the way it was, seemingly, before the shattering, we correct the shattering completely. All the broken parts that were distant and hatred, they remain broken this way and we assemble connections above them. This is called ‘love covers all transgressions.’ And from that, we get a vessel with a greater power, intensity compared to how it was prior to the shattering because we take into consideration all the shattering and also the corrections above them, that's why difference, opposition that was revealed during the shattering, we take that as a heightened will to receive and nevertheless above it, the differences between sparks, hate, repulsion, rejection, we form connections. Then in this corrected will to receive we can feel the Creator unfold, the upper force the way it is, in all NRNHY, upper light in the form of all its manifestations. Now, what do we gain from this process, where we have one soul that shattered, light departed from it, and we come back to connection between all those parts whereby the shattering remains, and we assemble the connections above the shattering. We take all that coarseness, that hate, the ego that was revealed during the shattering, and we make corrections above it, meaning our will to receive remains great during the shattering. We don't erase it, we don't want to make anything out of it only to cover it with our connection. So it turns out the intensity of the connection that we get out of the corrections, this intensity, this level of connection -- as it's written 620 times greater -- it's a number of sorts, it’s when we attain such number of connections and then broken parts and the connections between them, we come to a state where we can locate in all the broken parts that were re-assemble that were corrected again, we can now detect, portray the Creator, we can feel Him in full inside of our desire. We come to a certain ability inside the broken desire that was re-assembled, from these two opposite states, we can come to know the upper force from a thing and its opposite.
3. S. (17:30) Our connection in the 10, we talked about discovering the soul and Adam HaRishon in the connection. What's the difference between the connection of us and that of Adam HaRishon?
R. Adam HaRishon is a vessel before the shattering. Simply one desire that did not divide into parts. And we are great desires that grew when the light entered into the desire and shattered it into many parts, and appeared in it in such a way. That's why these parts are opposite, are broken. We attain Him in this way.
S. How to describe the state to which we should yearn let's say we connect between us but it's still insufficient disconnection in order to truly resemble this system?
R. We need to try and assemble ourselves in such a way that there will be no difference between all of us. We will all feel we are parts of one system and each one is working for the sake of the entire system. In this way we attain the Creator. But He is working throughout the entire system thanks to our effort, and as we try to maintain the system as one system we reveal Him in greater intensity. The Creator, BoReh, means ‘come and see’ come and reveal what you have come to. Meaning the Creator is not something that is outside of us. It is something we attain from the upper light, from the presence of the upper light inside the vessel. That's why we make it, as it's written ‘You have made Me,’ That's what we discover specifically through the shattering and oppositions that exist, we discover more and more conditions, where when we connect them in various ways, we attain many discernment where, in total, we used to understand and feel the Creator.
4. S. (20:53) The vessel of Adam HaRishon that was a uniform desire. What was this desire and what was the aim for so that we can resemble it in our work?
R. Before the shattering of Adam HaRishon was an extremely small will to receive, it's like a newborn baby that doesn't think about anything except that it exists and was a force of life. This is Adam HaRishon before the shattering. And this is the state where the Creator would fill it. There was no difference between this desire and the Creator because it was completely under the rule of the Creator. This state was called the Garden of Eden. I don't know what to call it, it's like a baby in its mother's arms. And he received anything that he needs from her, this is called the Garden of Eden, Paradise. What more does he need? So, this was the state we were in at the beginning of creation. Then through these special actions that we will learn about, we suddenly feel great egoistic desire to receive, was awakened. This desire begins to give us a feeling that we are different, made up of different parts. That the force fills us accordingly is not one force but many foreign parts. And Adam HaRishon feels through the increase of the will to receive in him, he feels that he is included, made of many parts, this is called shattering. And all of this had to happen in order to give Adam HaRishon -- that complex system, more refined, so it will be able to through the opposition between its parts and the connection between it’s parts, as much as it can be in opposition and in connection -- all these parts will be able to reveal the upper force/
S. (24:18) In the beginning of the lesson you said that we must connect in desires and then in relation to Adam HaRishon, you said he had uniformity of desires. What is such a uniform desire? If each of us has a slightly different desire, after the shattering, how can we come to uniformity?
R. We don't know what you called uniformity. Simply there were desires that were not so highly developed and simply not so much in opposition to another. That was one desire. And to the extent that this will to receive grows and it grows as the light shines on it, it begins to feel that it's made up of different parts and these parts are foreign to one another. Each part of the desire has its own desire, very different from the others. And they begin to feel between them greater discernment, distance and so on. You understand what's happening between a primitive group of people who exist as one body. There are as many differences between them. But if you take these people and you begin to grow them, to educate them, fill them with various ideas and discernments, they begin to be very different from one another. It all depends on the level and quality of desire of each and every one. That's what's happening in these parts. The upper light that influences the simple will to receive, gradually grows these desires each and every one in a different way, according to the root that exists in each desire. How did we get so many parts on the face of the planet -- still, vegetative, animate, human -- and in each one, can you imagine how many kinds exist? It could be millions. How many types of minerals do we have? All the forms are different in the animal kingdom. Where does it come from? It comes from the light working on the desire because there are changes in the desire. And the upper light even though He is only one, He works on these desires in different ways and on each and every one. That's how we understood our nature and developed even here on the face of the planet Earth but before that it was not the case. Everything was simpler, primitive, made of many parts that were similar to each other.
S. Ultimately like you said that we have to again resemble this one common system of Adam. Will this system be similar in its simplicity to the end or on a different level?
R. The system of Adam we come to is unlike that first system. The first system was simple, uniform, did not have many desires or many discernments. It was like a cell, like a primitive cell or like this tiny baby who has no discernment about himself. What happened with us is that we acquire many discernments and those opposite desires by hating one another, rejecting and repelling. We begin to feel how distant we are from one another. Together with that, we will reveal the connection between us. The greatest opposition and accordingly, the greatest connection is what we will reveal. This is truly the difference between the first state where there was no disconnection, no opposition, and no connection, and for us there is opposition and connection so in those states, between all the states that are showing us the opposition and all the connection. Between these two we reveal the Creator. From both of these forces comes the force of disconnection and connection. That's why we call it BoReh, BoReh, ‘come and see.’ He forms light and He creates darkness.
5. S. (30:07) Why did the Creator create from the shattering of Adam HaRishon this method that leaves the opportunity for only to succeed and all the rest remain their entire life without finding this answer. This is not clear?
R. I'll answer you but this doesn't belong to the order of our lesson, right now. We are developing, our desires are developing and in this development we have such parts like in general nature that are still vegetative, inanimate, and speaking. And those parts don't all develop the same way. We also see it in people. There are people who are more developed and there are those who are less developed. There are those who evolved thousands of years ago and civilization on how to connect and so on and so forth, and there are those who are only now beginning to wake up towards their corporeal development and who know when they'll come to their spiritual development. In other words, there is a plan. We don't know this plan. Generally, we don't know where we are and what we're doing but gradually to the extent we advance, we'll see how it works. So don't think that although there seems like one group is developing more and another is developing less, at the end of the day, we all come to the same conclusion, and in this last generation that we’re in, all of us, acquire the same results. Because how can it be that people who have worked, labored for the evolution of all of humanity and there are those who have done nothing in it. How can they get one result? Because it is not their fault, it all stems from the reshimot that existed in each and every person, in each and every nation, each and every group, every civilization. So we only need to advance according to what is awakened in us. Ultimately each one and everyone together come to one result for the Creator to dwell in all of us together with equal intensity. There will be no difference between everyone because we will all belong to one system, one desire. So there are differences along the way but there are no differences in the end.
6. S. (34:05) In the beginning of the lesson you said that if I don't feel the oppositeness to something, that it does not exist in my desire then I don't see it, I don't feel it. If I look at the friends and don't feel that I depend on them, what desires can I feel to have this complete dependence?
R. You need to advance further and feel that at the end of the day, even though you didn't think about it before, it will be shown to you that you are dependent on the group, more or less roughly. Later you'll begin to feel the desire with which you reveal the Creator does not actually dwell in you but it is the common desire of the group. And each and everyone is present in this desire according to how much you're able to connect. Accordingly you begin to attain the Creator who is divided into parts in your perception, you wish to connect but you connect partially. Until you can connect to such an extent that your desires begin to merge and bring you one result. And then the Creator will show himself as one simple light that fills all the desire, in other words, it fills all of reality. And then the difference between your broken foundation and the connection you have come to, thanks to your efforts and the revelation of one light, the difference between these two states will be the difference between the vessel and the light. It will give you the depth and the intensity of the upper force.
7. S. (36:30) What is the sin of the tree of knowledge?
R. It wanted to receive the light that filled the vessel in order to receive and not more. We only have one sin that is in order to receive. There is only one commandment which is in order to be so everything is very simple, either one or zero
S. It seems that in this action the true correction began, why is it a sin, then?
R. No, according to the action of receiving in order to receive from the upper light that was in him, this is called the sin, when he performed an action that is opposite the Creator.
S. So is sin ‘recognition of evil?’
R. It's not recognition of evil yet but it is going against the Creator and that's why it is called a sin.
8. S. (38:16) When a friend already knows that he depends on the friends and they depend on them, how does it force him to work?
R. If he depends on the friends he cannot reach the upper force, the revelation of the Creator, the correction of his soul, his part in the system of Adam Ha Rishon. If he understands it, he has to perform certain actions of how to connect with them in order to bring over the connection between them -- not over him or the others, we don't have to connect the desires in each and everyone -- we have to connect broken connections between us. That is what requires connection and from this we have to understand to what extent our desires require correction. In what exactly? The connection between us, not in each and every one. And that's how we need to look at each and every one.
9. S. (39:48) It’s felt like the initial shattering force always increases in people instead of waning and declining. When will the inversion begin from the expansion of the shattering towards compression and unity?
R. When we are corrected, of course, what is the question?
S. What is the fuel of this acceleration that continues? Why wasn't it just the shattering and now a compression begins. Why doesn't it continue?
R.The force of shattering was revealed towards us accordingly and relative to our development. According to the development of our desire and our tendency towards connection, we will discover the shattering going into the depths of the relationship between us and we will reveal more of it. We see it in human development as well, the more we connect the more we come closer to a greater inclination, we feel ourselves more broken. This is clear but he whose ego is greater than his friend, his inclination is greater. Until we discover the entire broken will and all of these manifestations we won't be able to correct it. All these corrections we are trying to are only in order to give us an opportunity to reveal the shattering more in-depth. This is called ‘he who is greater than his friend, his inclination is greater’ since each one who tries and comes to a greater understanding and recognition of creation, he sees creation more shatter but is able to feel it and contain it.
10. S. (42:31) The soul that divides to 600,000 souls, is that the 10? What is this number, basically? Can we say or know what this means? Second question, you said in the beginning that our desires have greatly evolved today. Is this why you are saying we are in the last generation and this is our time to reach the correction of Adam HaRishon?
R. We develop by revealing we are broken, according to our efforts. In connection, we discover more and more how not connected we are. And then from a thing and it's opposite, these two sides, right and left, we will advance towards the revelation of the complete shattering and towards its correction. This is an answer to both of your questions.
Excerpt 2 (43:52 - 46:52) x2
11. R . Meaning he explains to us, once again, created being, the soul is one desire and that desire shattered into many desires, and each and every desire that is separated from the other feels itself completely non committed to the others at all. Whether he wants to use the others in order to ameliorate, make his state better but not the other way around, this tendency is called the go. With the shattering of the soul into pieces, the ego appeared. Meaning this opposition where each one cares only about himself, that's how he feels himself, and although this is divided, Baal HaSulam says the soul, the upper light exists in each and everyone in wholeness and the entire shattering only took place relative to us. Seemingly we see it, we are divided, distant from one another. But in truth, we need only to discover that we are one force, one system and according to our efforts, we return with our vision, our attainment to be in the same system which is one vessel and one light. He and His name are One, as we call it.
12. S. (48:46) How to refine the work of connection between us?
R. Very simple. In each and every moment of our lives we are all trying to be aimed at the connection between us and the center of the connection between us. We want to see, there, our desired goal, the current state. I wish to be connected to the friends and be with one desire in them. So that we won't feel the difference between us ii one desire. We are all very different but it doesn't bother us, interfere with our desire to connect and be one desire. To reveal between us the force the mutual bestowal and for that to be called the Creator, BoReh, ‘come and see.’ And then this way to come to one vessel.
S. Is it important to maintain the difference between us in our work?
R. No we don't have to maintain the difference, we just simply need to maintain, protect the connection above the differences. We don't need to cancel or annul the difference, not to cancel the ego, the hate but rather above those, without paying attention to what separates us and what pushes us apart. Above that, we need to spread out the force of love. Meaning I look at the friends, I see many qualities in them, in the desires, thoughts that I dislike. I'm happy about this discovery because I acquire a field for work on top of all those oppositions that I see in them relative to me. I should relate to them in love and a desire to be connected to me. I have a desire to be connected to them together with all that is being revealed, this is called ‘love covers all transgressions.’ I do not obligate them to think like me, or to even exist and live like me, rather we have only one common thing, the Creator. Specifically in the connection that we have, such where no one interferes with the other, but only helps him, we are able to reveal the Creator.
13. S. (53:46) Should we connect to the work towards the reward as being connected as one and how can we desire that reward?
R. One desire means the desire to bestow. You don't have one desire if each one will make his desires like others you will become still, inanimate. This you should not do. By this, you are canceling the unique personality in each one. Rather specifically, because of the many desires and thoughts in each one, you wish to aim them towards mutuality, support and help in one Creator. This is the meaning of ‘our hearts will rejoice in Him,’ in one Creator, in one giving As much as everyone is capable from within his vessels to have that disposition towards others, this is our work. That's how we need to work.
Excerpt 3 (55:25 - 56:55)
14. R. It's clear to us that all that depends on our common work is each of us makes an individual correction of his disposition by that he awakens in others, since we're all connected in one body, the desire to advance. And we see if there are people who are advancing-- even not in kabbalistic groups but even in other groups -- but what awakens in each and every one influences the others. We are going through the shattering of Adam HaRishon so what appears to us, that we are shattered, only appears to us that way. In truth, we are in one system, it’s not simply one world in the air. Rather we are all interconnected upon thousands and thousands of connections, we simply don't understand it, don't identify it. We don't see how dependent we are on one another. Then the wisdom of Kabbalah reveals to us this interdependency. This interdependence has undergone shattering relative to our attainment. But according to our correction in order to bestow, we begin to see the thousands of connections between us and we return to the corrected state of Adam HaRishon, and we see the whole world is good.
Excerpt 4 (58:50 - 01:00:14) x2
15.S. (01:00:16) How important is it to use our imaginations, mind and heart, in order to describe to us this state of wholeness when we study, when we connect?
R. We should imagine the state of wholeness and try to be in it all the time and not be afraid of the fact that it is an imagination. As long as we are trying together in the group to build relationships that are as corrected as possible according to our understanding, this will be very beneficial on our path of corrections.
16.S. (01:00:17) I want to try to be accurate. The force of the shattering also exists also in the shattered soul?
R. The force of the shattering exists only in the shattered soul. Not also but only.
Excerpt 5. (01:01:48 - 01:02:24)
17. R. It is a sign the body, the will to receive, is corrected in order to bestow. then the upper light, the Creator appears in him fully.
18. S. (01:02:40) It is called the center of the 10. What is the center of the 10? Why don't I feel the center?
R. The center of the 10 is a point in which we are all drawn in order to connect with one another all of us. And there, by being in the center of the 10, we stop feeling each one, himself, but we feel everyone. That is called the center of the 10.
19.S. (01:03:31) He writes, “what does it mean that the soul belongs to all the children of Israel?”
R. His soul, the will to receive that he attained includes in it all the desires of all the created beings. He wants to connect them, hold them and bring them this fulfillment by the Creator.
S. Following that he writes that the upper light . . .
R. “The upper light causes the connection that he attains completely. This is called, ‘one attains one.’ One vessel, one light and they connect.”
S. How is it felt in the 10?
R. I don’t know how to explain to you how it feels. Try to obtain it and then you will feel. How can I tell you how to feel? We feel one connection, one light, one Creator. He and His name are One.
20. S. (1:05:05) You said the force of the shattering only exists in the shattered soul, so it doesn't come from the None Else Besides Him as well?
R. The force of shattering does not come from None Else Besides Him, it's only revealed in the vessel. It doesn't exist in the Creator.
S. But he created the kli, you know?
R. We need to learn it. This does not belong to the Creator. You can say that the Creator shatters the vessel, He caused it, but not that there is something in Him that directly brings about the shattering. We will learn about it.
Excerpt 6 (01:06:01- 01:07:37) twice
21. R. This language doesn't sound so clear to us because it is from the Nikudai alahot, the collection of laws, that we sometimes read from. What is he trying to say that each and every place in every detail where the soul divides we have to learn those things. After all the process is very fairly rudimentary the system is the same system, but nevertheless in each and every state because we have a desire and a light and each time they differ from state to state, we'll have to see many manifestations for the division of the souls and division of the lights and how they are then added to one another.
Excerpt 7 (01:08:41 - 01:10:25)x2
22. S. (01:10:26) What does it mean the many people?
R. It means the more people will be connected between them in attaining the vessel for the revelation of the Creator to give his contentment by that we will come closer to correction to the revelation of the completeness,the Creator creator.
S. We are talking about the 10's, about the quality of connection in the 10?
R We want to be more connected. We want to be connected around the planet for the time being those who have some relationship to correction and then later those who are impressed by us and what remains simply exist in a state where they don't know the upper force.
For all of us know the effort force that is governing us that we will discover it, that we will be able to reveal between us. The order of mutual actions between us, I to my beloved and my beloved to me. In this way, will begin to correct the whole world the entire reality spiritual and corporal in such a way that the Creator, the force of light, love and bestowal, understanding and attainment will fill everything above space, time and motion. We will rise to a place, a state, without any limitations. The world of the Upper Light.
S. He writes everyone should connect himself to the souls and everyone to him.
R Yes, how else can you reveal the Creator to the extent you connect with all the souls you expand you're 10 to the complete to the true measure of the size of the vessel the Creator created, then accordingly you become like him. This is called one receives one.
S. How to describe it. There is one soul and there's many souls?
R. One soul, one desire the Creator created in the fact that this desire shattered, broke apart and later it will connect correctly and connect. This is our work and we participate together in order to connect those broken desires and by that we understand what's going on there in this internal mechanics. It’s like you are a mechanic and you are rebuilding the engine in the car. You take all these parts, arrange them together to work in one system, one direction. Although they are different systems, they're not similar but they're all aimed at one goal. This way we need to assemble ourselves and we need to understand how the upper Force who created the system,this is called from your actions we shall know you. That we engage in what the Creator has made, His feeds, His actions and from that we know Him. We get to know his mind, Himself, that is what we attain. That is the purpose of our development.
S. (01:14:23) How do I connect with every friend in the world? What do we need to focus on? What does it mean, one needs to connect with all the souls that stand with them?
R. We are now speaking only of our individual 10 and when we learn in each one how much he is incorporated in the 10 how much he connects to the 10 and begins to feel that his desires his thoughts, his abilities accordingly, we will come to the fact that each 10 will grow and expand and be able to connect to many other tens now we're talking about the connection of individuals in a 10. Later we'll talk about 10's connecting between them. Later each 10 becomes 1 and assemble into hundreds. Each time the connection will be in a greater and greater degree in quantity and quality. We will understand the meaning of rising from quantity to quality. Where in the first degree we work on the lights of Nefesh and on higher degrees we speak of and work with the lights of Ruach, and so on and so forth and this way we come to a greater intensity of light.
S. Tonight when we go to such a general event like the meal, the global meal event, what kind of perception we should come to?
R. I come to such an event in order to connect with everyone. We don't sit in our tens, we don't sit in tens, rather for the time of the event for this 90 minutes we don't want to connect two 10's we want to see, to step out of our 10 to our general vessel and not remain closed off in our 10. Later will return to our 10's, but nevertheless to feel that we have contact with everyone. Of course it’s all artificial, but it will give us certain effort, according to this effort we will be able to feel how the upper force, the Creator, is nevertheless connecting to us and helping us. Our work, the work ahead of us is about attaining as much connection as possible and move from there to connection between 10's.
S. The preparation for integrating, incorporating with this general global 10 of Bnei Baruch this evening needs to happen in the ten or to already start thinking about what it means to incorporate with the global 10?
R. We need to convey to one another what the desire, the ability, the need for the complete connection, the mutual connection between us between the ten?
S. This needs to happen until the evening?
R. Yes, throughout the day we all have to be in the intention where we are all connected, we are all one ten and that's what we have in this evening - one meal for everyone.
S. During the day we already think of ourselves as one global 10?
R. Yes ,and accordingly we invite the light. Not each one a little bit by himself, but one big light on all of us. Then one big light is working on us and is activating us. Let's hope that later when we return to our individual 10s, they will be more important, more powerful.
S. How is it different from let's say yesterday when we each worked in our individual 10's and towards the event we each want to think about the global 10. How is that thought different?
R. It is different when we are thinking of the general ten where it is a different desire, a greater desire and we are activating the Upper light in a more powerful way, a more general way. It's different, it's like the degree of Nefesh and Ruach, those are two different degrees of activating the upper force.
24. S. (01:20:06) What does it mean to raise everything to the root?
R. The fact that I am ascribing our connection to Creation. My work, my disposition has to be about aiming myself toward Him.
25. S. (01:20:57) How to keep the unity of the whole Kli, how to maintain the unity of the Kli.
R. Rabash writes so much about it. Simply maintain the unification of the Kli all the time. If not for the unification of the vessel you have no contact with spirituality. The first point of contact with spirituality is when we attain the unification of the vessel then we activate it in order to connect to the Creator, to the light. Therefore, the unity between us, the connection between us, maintaining it is our number one concern. That is the fundamental action that has to live in the group.
26. S. It says for this one should include himself in all people, with all created beings and raise everything for the direction of the Shechina, divinity. What is the difference between created beings and people?
R. There is a difference. There are people, creations, forms, there are many names it's not important to us for now those are degrees.
27. S. (01:23:00) About the meal today you said not to be in the ten, but to connect to the whole Kli vessel. I admit I am afraid to come out of my ten.
R. Incorrect, I am not leaving my ten. It is good that you asked. I do not leave my ten. Do not let go of it except that I do not connect to them practically, awaken them. The ten I never leave my ten. The fact that I receive from above and this is how it is and I don't come out of it. Rather what I do is together with my ten I am going to connect with all the other ten that exist in our general world Kli. Because if I come out of the ten and I become me again, an individual and there is no me. There is no me. One person by himself is not present, does not exist, he’s not counted. The number ten is a unit, it is like one in spirituality. But I do not work on our connection. I work on taking my ten and my feelings and I work towards connection with all the tens in the world.
R. All our work is inside. That's why it’s called the concealed work. We try hard to be like that inside, in the general feeling, in the general disposition between us, where I want in my desire, I wish to incorporate the entire general vessel, the world Kli together with me, that is enough. I think about it and I want it to happen and that is what I do. I activate reality in this way.
S. It’s like two levels of me connected with the ten, us connected with the world Kli?
R. I wish to connect with the entire world Kli and I do not let go of my ten, never, or I’m not in spirituality. I don’t place my ten as the primary focus rather, I include them inside of me.
28. S. (01:26:10) It seems like you are aiming to connect for the ten and then BB and then the world. What is the innovation here, in the work today.
R. I wish to connect with the entire world Kli and I do not let go of my ten. But I do not place I do not place my ten is the primary focus. My individual ten is behind me and I don't connect to all the other tens in the world.
S. I am one and the ten after me?
R. I include them inside of me.
S. So with my ten I connect to the global ten. What is this great ten?
R. I can't explain they have to be depicted inside a person otherwise we just have words and confusion if we continue. This has to appear in the desire in a person's attainment, awareness and then it will be much clearer. But then relative to that it will be clear or to us when we return to our ten what is my personal compact ten.
29. S. (01:28:05) Normally in a lesson we have something we can aim for but now everything is done. Actually not knowing what to do but because of the questions of the friends it's becoming more and more clear but my question is what can we do now, what you just explained, how can we evoke this desire just not leave the ten, but to come to the next state. Because I personally am confused I don't know how to hang on because this lesson is different from any other lesson so far. It appears there is no impression. There is nothing.
R. I understand you. I understand. This confusion is for the good. Wait a little patiently until it settles and you will become confused about your ten and the world vessel and soon it will work itself out. Let the upper light where each one according to his understanding which is to awaken it and to draw according to each one's personal understanding. Let this state stabilize that and then you will see that everything will work itself out.
30. S. (01:29:55) It's a very good scrutiny if we are the ten the Asian ten and we are coming to the event tonight. What should we bring? It says the ten should bring something. What should we bring?
R. A desire to be there in both heart and desire to be connected and both tens and the general ten. and specifically we want Bnei Baruch to be as one ten that consists of many particular tens. This is basically at the end of the day what we need. And afterward who knows what will think about that. What we will think about that. We will achieve connection between our individual ten and our general ten of Bnei Baruch through that system, that mechanism of lower and upper we will be able to influence and to bestow upon the whole world. Will be the lower one in the upper one and we will be connected to the Creator. This gives us a completely different power of connection to the upper force.
31. S. (01:31:36) From experience we see the connection and the ten is an unstable structure. We break and it's not clear if it will ever end. Why can't a person just stay together.?
R. There cannot be any shattering because we are already in the shattering and in the shattering, we fell to the very bottom the .... There is no lower place. And from this we only begin to correct, we are on the path of correction. Each time we discover that we are more and more broken, it is in order to show us desires between us we need to correct. Let's create the right connection between us and we will see that every time we discover something negative it is not a new breaking. It is a revealing of a new place of work. It is to be contrary. We will draw a greater upper light from above and will discover our broken pieces are below.
32. S. (01:33:25) Everybody who is connecting virtually today. Should we sit in our original ten’s or mix our tens?
R. No we are not sitting in the original tens. We are sitting with each one, wherever he can sit, either in the big hall or in the virtual hall, it does not matter where. They can gather the way that used to in tens, it does not matter. What is important for us is during the meal we feel ourselves as belonging more into a single ten. And how we connect to those seemingly external tens, they are not foreign friends they are not far, but they are external. In this way we will start feeling what is the expansion of the Kli. Why? We have come to a state where we are more or less connected in our individual tens. Now we will come to connect to external tens and I will feel in this a need for even more connection in my original ten. Is that clear? Meaning, if I come to connect to an external ten then naturally I will feel more of a need to be connected to my individual original ten, it is always like this. It is like a little child who runs to play with something unfamiliar. He suddenly discovers where he is and he says where's mommy where's mommy and he runs back to mommy. So the same goes for us. First of all, I hope that it will help us be more connected in our original tens, and is really the reason for doing this kind of evening. Because to connect outside of our ten is too soon for us. So it is only for the purpose of greater internal connection.
S. How can I recognize this external ten?
R. It is our whole world kli that's outside of you, that you hardly feel and you see them on the screens, and you know many friends by names but basically you don't really feel like they are with you heart and soul. So now when we come out to them a little more and want to connect with them some more, then accordingly we will also feel a need for our internal connection that we must not go outside unless we are equipped with an internal connection between us.
33. S. (01:37:27) We have a lot of content sent to us and it is going to be very special. A lot of us want to come to a true kabbalists meal. How do we go one grade up in content and the way we are behaving and in everything?
R. I have nothing to say beyond what I already said. It all depends on the connection between you. Stop looking at me and expecting me to do everything. I do not have these powers, I gave you the explanations and now it's up to you to realize them. I'm totally serious, don't look for it, don't expect me to give you some help from above and do with you what you want. It all depends on your efforts and on your intentions.
S. That is completely clear.
R. So what is the question?
S. How do we make it so it is not just a show?
R. Don't tell me these things, it will all happen according to what you do during this meal. I come to participate with you in the most passive way.
S. The words are not really to you, it's kind of for all of us, that we will not come to the meal expecting some external excitement.
R. I don't know, don't tell me, tell them. I only want you to succeed. Can you succeed before the breaking without the breaking perhaps perhaps not. We have to try, try as much as you can. In the end the effort you will make the right effort and it will remain. It goes into the Kli, into the vessel and remains.
S. So how can every ten measure, if they summarize the meal, what will be a successful meal?
R. I don't want to answer these questions. I want you yourselves to discuss it, understand, feel, and even if you are helpless and you don't understand and you are not aware it is also good. When I answer it is if I block the question. I don't want to do that. It is all in front of you.
34. S. (01:42:02) Today this important meal is before us. Our ten is going to meet twice before the meal. How do you recommend we have our meetings to prepare correctly for the meal?
R. I really do not know. Today I am not giving you any directions, any directives, nothing. Do what you learn, search through the excerpts whatever you want. Just don't confuse each other too much. It all depends on you. In my eyes the meall has already begun. Those of you who have prepared it correctly will eat and enjoy. Those who have not prepared correctly will not understand will not get proper results. It all depends on you.
35. S. (01:42:31) When working in our 10's, we work with friends, together we relate in Arvut and mutual responsibility. How do we relate when we are in the meal to the World Kli? What sort of work are we doing and how do we relate to the world Kli compared to working in the ten?
R. Just as you want to be incorporated in your vessel in your ten, so you want to be incorporated in the whole world kli and you make an effort in it. Except now, you have your internal Kli your ten and without involving them physically. What you have been charged with, you now want to be incorporated in the whole world Kli.
S. How do you do this because in the ten we are in mutual responsibility. How are we in the mutual responsibility and connection with the whole world Kli and how do we do the practical work?
R. We have to achieve this, we have to come to it. It is written in the article mutual responsibility. How all created beings have to come in to be a one Kli whose main quality is mutual connection where we are all responsible for everyone and in this way we will have one vessel in which the Creator is revealed in all of His power. Start feeling what it is like to organize and do this from now until the evening. Think and prepare these things, for most of you it is a day off and in the evening we will talk about it.
Excerpt 8 (01:45:15) Twice
36. R. That is what he says. Okay go on.
Excerpt 9 (01:46:55) Twice
37. R. We more or less have to be like this. It is not exactly the number that matters, it is more or less according to the example of the Partzufim and the upper Sefirot and how they are arranged, and we have to try and arrange ourselves accordingly.
38. S. (01:49:58) What we just read, he says that all of the corporeal branches extend from the upper roots. How can it be that the spiritual clothes on the corporeal?
R. There has to be congruence matching between corporeality and spirituality because the difference between the two is that the structure we have in the spiritual world, in the connection of the desires with the light meaning the desire to bestow and the desire to receive. The connection between them in the spiritual world does not match the desire to bestow and the desire to receive and in general the qualities we have in the corporeal world. Our work is to put order into it. We are in the corporeal world and we can also be in the spiritual world. This is why being in the corporeal world, in the relationships between us on the human level, we can bring the connections between us into the spiritual form.
S. Our actions like the meal in the study, affects the spiritual world, is that the connection?
R. To influence the spiritual world in order to bring from the spiritual world influence on us, we will raise divinity from the dust. Meaning arrange our situation so it's like equality.
S. How do you connect the two worlds in the best way?
R. The best way is through our hearts.
S. How do we connect in a meal?
R. This is for you to think, I do not know. The meal is the meal of a gathering of friends. I am a guest, an uninvited guest.
S. From your experience when you come to such a meal, what happens?
R. Don't talk. What do you have to think about? Think about how we are connected together in one Ten.
S. And what is the prayer we have to raise together?
R. You will put together the prayer.
39. S. (01:53:37) In that reading it says Malchut receives the upper abundance?.
R. It is the general Malchut which receives all of the upper light revealed in the end. There is no place where the upper light can be revealed except in Malchut in all of our corrections, all of our corrections in Malchut.
S. When we connect in the hearts and demand, is this the Malchut?
R. Yes. We correct Malchut. Our desires are pieces of Malchut and is the general desire that is broken. We connect these pieces together so that the upper light connects them unites them and can be revealed and then completely. According to the desires and according to the shattering. Which together cause a manifestation of the light 620 times more than it was prior to the breaking of Adam.
S. What is the upper abundance?
R. It is called the upper light, the NRNHY that has to be revealed.
40. S. (01:55:23) If every so often there is a feeling of the desires of all the tens in the world vessel and they are not divided in the tens and the only points are.
R. Try to connect all the tens together, of course each one is in his own ten, but we want to come out as our tens not leave the tens but to feel the other tens that they belong to my ten and that we are all becoming one ten. And I want that chance to be alive to exist forever. Until the Creator is revealed in it completely. And this is the purpose of our creation, this is the purpose of a correction, this is the purpose of the existence of the last generation. Everything is revealed in it.
R. What made you disagree?
S. No, I am impressed.
Excerpt 10 (01:56:58)
41. R. The House of Assembly is a place where people assemble, unite and become incorporated with one another, achieve connection all of them together. It is not a synagogue or shul or one of those places, it doesn't matter what you call them. It is a place for connection and a house of gathering connecting, among everyone.This is what we need. We have to translate it correctly into all the languages. We have to come to a state where we want to build within us that place will be called a House of Assembly for everyone. In the end it will be the temple. But we can build a House of Assembly which is our assemblage, when we unite together in the temple, the house of sanctuary is our connection where it reaches a certain power. We begin to feel that this House of Assembly, this gathering of ours is filled with the upper light. Which is a spiritual light of Bina and this is why it is called the temple. Bina is called … the house of holiness. When the light of Bina, the light of mutual bestowal, feels our gathering, it is regarded as achieving the right connection, the house of holiness.
S. (01:59:30) It says that we need to be...
R. It is our desires. Not when each of us, in an awakening from above, but rather we try all of us together to be as one man with one heart in one inclination to connection.
S. It's not the physical time you mean?
R. There is a necessity to connect at a physical time, yes. When we want to be connected.
S. We want to be connected with the friends in the ten, does that mean we are in the same gathering?
R. It is according to how you feel the connection and you expect to feel within the connection, to discover the Creator, a mutual force of the bestowal that will fill you and will be revealed as your source.
42. S. (02:01:13) I want to ask about the meal. Can we mix virtually with other tens even though we have language differences?
R. I don't know it all depends on our technical ability. If you can do it. As far as I am concerned you can see all of the participants on condition that they are participants from our circles from the world Kli. And ideally you do not need to go with some groups and sit in a corner and not participate in a general event, by all means. I'm also not involved in any of the preparations. I might say a few words during the meal but in truth it is a meal of friends, It’s an assembly of friends and as I usually don't participate in an assembly of friends so here I am appearing in a kind of presence only. It's not like I'm going to give a speech and I'm going to connect you and I will stimulate you and give you a pep talk. No, it is your work and you have to do it on your own and you're doing it right. I'm only invited to sit together with you. Do not pay attention to me. It all depends on the connection between you.
Excerpt 11 (02:03:24) Twice
43. S. (02:06:45) What does it mean that his honor is dear to him as his own?
R. Just as you heard it. For me to appreciate with my desire to bestow and appreciate the friends, no less than I appreciate it in my will to receive than I appreciate myself.
Excerpt 12 (02:07:15) Twice
44. R. Pay attention - the whole world and the individual can cause an ascentt or a descent.
Excerpt 12 (02:08:39) Continue.
45. S. (02:09:17) He says that the general is revealed only after the parts in it. What does it mean that only the general is revealed after the parts in it are revealed?
R. Until you do not correct all the individuals tet collective will not be revealed. When you still have corruptions in the system, the entire system must be corrected.
S. Not everyone is at the same level, how does this work?
R. It doesn't matter, each one according to his measure all over the world, it doesn’t matter whether it is big or small. Each one who corrects himself in a relative way as much as he is included in all, it is called he is corrected and to that extent he is corrected he will receive great light from everybody.
S. So basically we're coming to the meal in order to be incorporated with everyone?
R. Yes, say you've got a baby who was born 10,000 years ago and one who is born today. What's the difference. The difference is today's baby gets all the treatment that today's baby gets like food, clothing and medication and relations everything. Everything that belongs to its time, but did he do anything? No, he didn't do anything, he just gets what is according to his time. Just according to the general direction of that general action so he was born at a time that he gets such a treatment.
S. So according to what you are saying even if I have been studying only for a week and I incorporate for those who study for 20 years I get what everybody is getting? Is that the incorporation.
R. To the measure of your annulment.
S. Everyone is according to his own life.
R. According to his annulment, listen to what I said, everyone according to the extent that he knows himself.
S. According to his vessel?
R. That's it.
46. S. (02:12:10) He talks about the general and the particular that is the same. Today it is not like that. Today the interests of individuals and the public contradict one another and here it says that one person can lift, elevate the world to the side of merit or the other way around. It's a change of perception.
R. That is spiritual. He explains what it is and spirituality has nothing to do with corporeality. In spirituality each and every one determines for themselves. In the center of the descent in the whole world. How he received the world.
S. We look at it on the level of the group and what should happen in the group or in the ten, so that the interests of the general and particular collective in particular will complement each other, not contradict each other.
R. Until they reach the state that they have the same thing, the same matter, the same goal, the same action. Each one from the root of his soul.
Excerpt 13 (02:13:43 - 02:16:15) Twice
47. R. Nice words, that's from Maor Va Shemesh (Light and Sun by Baal Hasulam). No questions beautiful. What have we reached. Just like that.
48. S. (02:16:42) What does it mean to be a symbol with a friend, come to him and hear from him the work of the Creator.
R. Be inspired by the friends, very simple. Get inspired by the friends. It all depends on your good expression. If you have a narrow eye you will see the opposite you will see how he is corrupted and all kinds of corruption.
49. S. (02:17:39) I thought everything could be revealed in the ten and here it says clearly if there are more than ten then there is more revelation of Divinity. What does this mean?
R. The meaning is that the more of the ten is the same ten, but just in a bigger intensity. And the power of 100 or 1000 and so on but it's you're same ten. No more than a ten. Just has to begin with the Creator created a vessel that had ten parts and no more than that and those 10 parts how would we have to correct. The more we formulate together as a world vessel so that we are strengthening that ten in a greater and greater intensity. Meaning you have a small body, a small baby and when you add more and more babies and babies so it is him becoming that first initial baby a big one a strong one but it's the same structure: 10 and not 9 and not 11 and it will always be like that. Although it seems to us like a lot of details it is the same details of the original ten. That is why we need to think of him in such a way. There is nothing but thinking of the ten. We have a group of thousands which is World Bnei Baruch. So that is a ten. I have my original ten and that is the same. We have all kinds of forms of tens, there are a hundred, thousand, ten thousand - it is all one ten it is just that in a bigger ten you can reveal greater lights, more revelation of the Creator. That is called the King's glory appears in a multitude of people. So let's hope we reach that states that the Creator will be revealed. In a more clear way which is closer to us by this we will bring His revelation closer as much as we connect in a greater quantity will also discover, we bring the revelation closer.
Excerpt 14 (02:20:44 - 02:21:46)
50. R. The word gathering is more unification of the heart and soul.
51 S. (02:21:59) From what we said about other tens, it feels like this meal is going to be a blast.
R. It can be a blast to only those who participate correctly those who do not participate correctly it will not be a blast. A person can sit here or in South America or in Australia it does not matter where. The main thing is the way he participates in his heart with everybody and that it is clear to him what he wants to reach, what connection he wants to come to in order to bring himself closer to the revelation of the Creator. It is an opportunity I don't know what like an elevator that can raise him to the degree of revelation of the Creator. It all depends on the person. It will not be a blast and I don't know what. I wanted to have this meal that there won't be any food like obelisks used to have. With restrictions so they ate bread and some onion and a bit of oil and drank a bit of a drink. That was it. That's how it was with Rabash for a long time too. What I want to say we will have a blast if you participate correctly it could be a blessing.
S. I understood that the French are asking that the sooner that we'll be in love of friends in that the meal is going to. How should we? I don't know how to prepare for this.
R. I don't know if the organizers during the day.
S. I can only thank the organizers from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.
R. Yes I am with you on that.
52. S. (02:24:30) What is looking from the outside-in word that brings two more Unity. What is the meaning from the outside to the inside that brings more Unity.
R. From the inside. whoever is on the outside has a greater coarseness than those on the inside. So he brings more coarseness to the vessel and according to that he can reveal the upper light with more intensity. Bringing closer the ones who are distant is more beneficial for revelation of the Creator.
53. S. (02:25:41) By what does each one correct himself and promote the others to correction.
R. That is what we learned. I have nothing else to add. About it.
S. Hello.
R. It's all not for now he should scrutinize all these things and maybe today it's not too late to do it. Let them write and write to the boardworldkl@gmail.com and from there they should answer everyone.
54. S. (02:27:01) I heard in your answers about the meal maybe six times, bread salt oil simple things and you repeated it. Why is it important? We won't have any food at the meal. Why?
R. There will be simple food, maybe some chicken. They told me people are coming straight from work and that's why you have to feed them so that's why I agreed to have food. But actually the meal is for the connection and not the meal.
S. But why don't Kabbalists eat something tasty, but instead just bread and oil.
R. Kabbalists, for thousands of years of the existence of Kaabalists since Adam HaRishon 5800 years ago, they always lived in restrictions. That's what they could have done. And all together and all humanity used to live in those days the main thing was the bread and maybe another thing is there was salt or oil. So that is a meal.
S. But we are not in those times. Is it still important for us to be like them.
R. It's important for us to gather to connect and not to eat. So let's leave you some time so you can speak between yourselves how you want to prepare for the evening meal and how we will connect in the evening. We will give a few pieces of advice for that.
S. Okay, We heard Rav say in the lesson that we have to think about how we are connected together and one ten during the meal. And when there is a question of what is the prayer, Rav said that we should raise it together and to comprise it. So maybe this goes along with what we should scrutinize now.
WSQ: How should we come to this meal, what is a prayer, how should we make this connection as being in one ten. So let's scrutinize in the ten.
