Transcription is made from simultaneous translation which leaves a possibility for differences from audio

37. R. We learned the second part, of the first volume, the second part of TES of the Igulim and Yosher, circles and straightness. What are circles and what is straightness? Circles are the influence of the Creator upon the created beings and the straightness is already that they are the created beings and these created beings are in some connection with the Creator. When we speak about the circle list influence from the Creator. When we speak about the line it is also the influence from the Creator but towards the specific created being that reacts is in his will to receive that the Creator bestows to him and receives into account the quality of the created being. Now that we learned circle and straightness we learn it very generally and of course very far from reality. The relations between the Creator and the created beings. The circles influence the straightness that the straightness can receive from the circles to change the behavior with the circles see. This is the beginning of our study. We are also in the research of the relations between us and the Creator and from within this later will come a clear form where we are, where the Creator is how he influences us, upon all the created things that gradually through all of the actions that he has performed in us and will perform in us through this lengthy process. That he brings an entire creation through all of the records and influences from above to a state that this creation will become familiar and recognize him and reach his degree. This is what we are doing now. Learning initially what we don't know, we are like kids learning the ABCs in school or the multiplication tables, such things, the things that don't understand what they need it for or when they will ever use it food such we also don't understand where we are yet and how this is going to help us. Sometimes it seems that we are getting closer to it but truly it is still very far.

There are a few approaches to the study. First of all is just to become familiar with it as we read it to understand it. Of course we need it because the Kabbalists did not write a single word without us being able to use it to attain the goal of creation. On the other hand we understand that we are small and don't comprehend where we are, yet so we learn superficially in an external matter, Sometimes more or less understanding, sometimes we do feel something but the material of TES is not obligatory, we simply get to use it in two forms. One, that in any case we begin to understand it in something, what is happening, what it is talking about and to understand it in our corporeal mind which is of course very distant from spirituality. Somehow we awaken the surrounding light upon us. On the other hand, we do want it to influence us and for the sake of the name of the surrounding lights. We are learning and we want it to influence and change us, to make us instead of corporeal human beings to make us into spiritual beings.

Inner Light Item 10 “Because the lights were divided into inner light ….” (05:52)

38. R. (10:38) Meaning he explains to us here how much although it includes four phases, 4 degrees of coarseness only the fourth phase is developed enough such that it receives the light, it is the will to receive, the degrees that are previous stabilize the fourth phase and such that we relate the vessel only to the fourth phase. In the three previous phases we relate to them as the preceding causes to the fourth phase.

39. S. (11:31) The fourth discernment is the essence of the created being, on the other hand it is as if it is concealed and there are many phases. How does a person detect the fourth phase within?

R. Don't understand what you're asking, the fourth phase is the main thing that we feel, the desire to receive is what causes all of these qualities that maintain the desire to receive, that hold it. Our main work is with the fourth phase.

40. S. (12:08) He asks in item 10, that only the coarseness in it is worthy of receiving the inner light?

R. Yes.

S. Why not in purity?

R. How can you receive something if there is no desire? The coarseness is desire and he says it like this, you have a vessel and enters into it inside the vessel, light. So what is the main thing here? The main thing is the foundation, the basis of the vessel is the main thing, the fourth phase let's say. All the rest of these things, 0 1 2 3 they caused the fourth phase but the fourth phase is desire and all the rest of the aspects they just build that desire.

S. The inner light is only revealed in the fourth discernment?

R. Only in the fourth phase and the previous phases they pass and form in such a manner but they feel the light in the fourth phase.

41. S. (14:13) It says here that the 3 phases, the fourth phase is to tolerate the filling in it?

R. That if these walls are okay, then they build the fourth phase, as such that they will be able to receive and attach bestowal to the upper light.

42. S. (14:50) The root phase is this coarseness or there is no coarseness?

R. The level of coarseness of root.

43. S. (15:17) The surrounding light bestows on all Sefirot or only on the ones that it revolves around because it says the vessels of the circles are surrounding only the Rosh so these surrounding light bestows upon the Rosh only?

R. The surrounding light influences all of the Sefirot according to how it is tied to each Sefirot.

ARI 4 (15:55) “The light of the circles is the light of Nefesh ….”

Inner Light Item 20 “All the Sefirot that can only receive the ….”

44. R. (19:07) It is not that the light of Nefesh is small but rather the type of reception of light is small if he receives it without any resistance, without any drawing, but rather what comes and fills it this is called the light of Nefesh, it is the lowest degree, smallest degree. All the rest of the degrees Ruach, you know like wind, where they're always already most and from place to place and of itself, this is a different kind of reception dependent upon the created being. Nefesh fills everything.

45. S. (19:57) In this excerpt it says about the line and the straightness?

R. A line and the straightness is the same thing but the line received in a certain form and the straightness gives to what passes through it as a quality, there is a difference between line and straightness.

46. S. (20:40) There is a very strong impression from the first part of the lesson. What should we do with this impression?

R. What we learned before in the excerpts, that is how it should be as it is a strong lesson with an important topic and I recommend for you to go over it again because in this we are forming our vessels today actively for receiving the Creator.

S. Can we interpret this with respect to what we read now or should we not?

R. No, don't confuse us, you can do whatever you want, God forbid. A lesson is a lesson, if you want to learn more please go over it. I don't recommend just reading on and on because then you might have too much confusion, but to review what we learn you will hear things you didn't hear before.

47. S. (22:13) Is there a concept of vessels without a screen?

R. Of course, the vessels of circles are vessels without a screen.

S. Where are we as the ones who study the wisdom of Kabbalah do we have vessels?

R. I don't understand.

S. A person who studies Kabbalah does he have a vessel or first he has to build a screen to receive the vessel?

R. Is he studying or not studying? My little kid goes to first, second or third grade in school and is learning their geography. He knows there are seas, confidence, cities, they draw this all out as illustrated, so is he a professional geographer already? Just because someone is reading the wisdom of Kabbalah doesn't mean they're Kabbalists as a Kabbalist is one who receives the revelation of the Creator according to the law of equivalence of form as we learned in such degrees that he can determine himself how he received the Creator, how he gives the Creator the ability to be revealed in him actively not in the form NRN, which is smallness. A Kabbalist can determine the level of revelation of the Creator in him even more how much from this he passes on to others.

S. Inner-light you can only attain through a screen?

R. Yes.

S. What builds the screen?

R. A screen is built by our exertion and the upper light, the surrounding light.

S. Our whole work is on the screen?

R. Yes, according to the screen, the size and the character of the screen we become Kabbalists receivers.

Inner Light (25:11) Item 30 “The ten Sefirot of Ruach are regarded as ….”

48. S. (26:12) Who bestows upon the line the lights?

R. We have light that comes from the bestower, from the Creator and it is received in the created being according to how much the created being wants to be so bad to him what he receives from him. To the extent in the guest there is a desire to bestow to the host he can receive from the host and thus bestows to the host. The light he receives is called the light of Ruach because he received it in the overcoming of himself in exertion, in repulsion of his ego and there is motion of this light and it is called the light of Ruach. Whoever receives without his screen, without calculation this is called receiving the Nefesh. Let's say a baby has no opportunity to reach anything, in the spiritual Partzuf, and its smallness, this is called he is receiving the Nefesh.

S. The lights that come to the line as a system how did they come to the line, through the circles?

R. These are vessels of circles and results for lines which is dependent upon the work of the lower ones.

S. Why when the light that goes through the circles?

R. All of the lights are in circles. The circles in general are all of creation. Everything that comes from the Creator is circles and we awaken the lower ones, the Kabbalists are awakening the work in the line.

S. The light that goes to the circles is not bestowing?

R. The light in the circle doesn't pass the circle according to the influence of the Creator upon the created beings but there is no bestowal on the part of the created beings.

S. Can we say that the light of Nefesh without a screen is a corporeal pleasure?

R. No. Light of Nefesh and Ruach our spiritual vessels and spiritual states and spiritual lights and it is all dependent upon the extent of overcoming of the person over his desire and that he receives either NRN.

S. Without a screen there is no overcoming?

R. Then you have no light.

S. The vessel without the screen receives the light of Nefesh.

R. You don't have a vessel, you have no desire for light just a desire to receive you don't have, what desire for light is revealed in you? Listen a bit more to what we are talking about.

49. S. (30:23) A desire we don't have yet. In our nature this desire, but in our true nature, there is an example? We may see the example of a bird coming with food back to the chicks, everyone opens its mouth if one doesn't open its mouth and it is lost, only when everyone is going to sleep, in nature it is a yearning we don’t have.

R. To open your mouth only to the extent you have an intention to bestow. There is a difference between the bird and Adam that wants to be similar to the Creator. That does the same thing to the Creator what he does to him, “I to my beloved and my beloved to me”. In such, we need to open our mouths for certain, the Creator expects this but the opening of our mouth demands great preparation that we equip ourselves with the intention to bestow and to the extent of intention to bestow we can open our mouths. Meaning we are performing the restriction saying to the Creator okay we are going to open our mouths but we need to see that we have a restriction and above this restriction we want to receive just a bit, first phase, second phase or third phase, or fourth phase with all of our desire. So please, we want to be with you in agreement that more than what we are opening our mouths, you don't give us.

50. S. (32:54) In our connection in the 10 we want to build but first we restrict ourselves and then we know how much we want to receive?

R. Are you certain you did a restriction?

S. I'm not certain.

R. So how can you begin to check after the restriction? Sometimes I receive such letters from people, mainly from women, that I'm already in the world of infinity, maybe it seems like this to a person, what can you do?

S. How to perform this restriction?

R. The restriction is that I don't receive anything besides necessity, no more and not less. I must receive it because I must exist and besides this I maintain myself in existence. I don't open any desire or thought of mine to reach something before I have force of bestowal. An item answers all sorts of actions and connections in the group, dissemination, that only these things help us to reach the upper force that he stood here us and then I asked the Creator to give me the force of bestowal, to give me the force of love, the force to exit myself. The main thing is the force of connection, please give me this force of connection as I must have it. As much as we request like this, even if this request is a lie and that we are lying to ourselves, but time after time and more and more we get used to this request and then I begin to see that it looks like it is happening, it is working and we want this. So please make an effort to request it. It doesn't matter that you don't need it so much, but that you are like little kids. You know what they need, they just want it.

S. The force of restriction is when we prefer connection over reception?

R. Correct.

S. What do we receive after that? You said there are grades of reception after the restriction?

R. Receiving spiritual fulfillment, meaning you are beginning to receive pleasure and desire to bestow and the pleasures are millions of times greater than what you felt in your desire to receive ever. Upon these pleasures you need to begin to receive them slowly in limitation in order to perform a screen upon them otherwise you will receive an intention to receive and everything will disappear. For it does not disappear, after many years of exertion and efforts. When you reach such a state that you are capable of desiring to bestow for all sorts of reasons that you are already reaching such a state, you then receive the desire to bestow and you can then reveal the Creator.

S. So the spiritual pleasure, the lights that we were talking about are different kinds of bestowal?

R. No, it is all revelation of the Creator to you, all of the upper light is revelation of the Creator.

S. The revelation of the Creator is the quality bestowal I can realize?

R. I can't tell you, you want me to pass on to you in pressure from revelation of the Creator and I am not capable of doing that if I would do it, it would ruin you. It would stop you from growing the desire to receive which is correct for the revelation of the Creator himself.

ARI Item 5 (38:52) “Arich Anpin of the circles shines for ….”

51. R. (43:59) Just to add, we are learning, reading now about what is happening in a very high-level spiritually, it doesn't belong to us, it is not in our world, it is not above our world, it truly is in Ein Sof, in very high spiritual degrees. We need to read it and to direct ourselves to this that it will influence us, even that we don't understand a word but from this that we wanted to influence us because we belong to it in any case, to this system, that we received great surrounding light from it because it influences us from a very high degree. From a higher degree the surrounding light is even stronger not that it is distant from us as there is no distance, in the surrounding, they are in every place. It is worthy for us when we are reading about such distant things to be in this intention that I want it to influence me no, I want it to come to me and change me.

52. S. (45:29) What is the right and the left side of the circle?

R. The right line is bestowal and the left line is reception, supposedly all the rest we will learn soon as we will truly finish this part in inner light and we will go on to the inner observation where the explanations are about everything.

53. S. (46:06) You said the text we should ask for it to influence upon me so after the lesson we're going to build a prayer. What is the right way to ask, about receiving the force of reception and only give me the opportunity to ask?

R. How to request, I request that it is better without limiting ourselves specifically in this or in that, that I want the force of bestowal from the upper light which is entirely bestowal that will also bestow upon us giving us mute bestowal between bestow one to the other according to the general law of bestowal coming from the upper illumination which will influence us by our desire and by our desire we will want to use it and return bestowal to the Creator, which is called already reflected light. So we want this reflected light in our bestowal to the Creator, to receive from the Creator what he wants to give us which will then be in reception with the intention to bestow from the Creator to the created being.

S. When I asked, I understood it's not only for me, if I will be in bestowal I will invest more in the ten and the world, yet if I am asking for us, I am already in it so I did incorporate my desire to receive?

R. No, you need to think about all of your friends and the entire 10 and also you and the ten. Don't forget about yourself otherwise you're not stabilizing yourself in the correct place and it will be egoistic, stabilize yourself in the end. On the righteous and the great ones on them and them and then and also us. Not requesting anything else other than to fill them, help them and support them but this you want to be. Don't forget yourself.

54. S. (49:04) It says with the 10 Sefirot being circles one within the other they have all the reception of the abundance from the abundance of the direct light, if I don't draw this abundance what happens?

R. It remains without a vessel of reception.

S. These are all the troubles of the world?

R. Seemingly before them, above them, the aspect of the Creator.

S. If no one drives this light what happens to it?

R. There is a constant illumination which maintains creation and for it to advance towards the end of correction.

S. The faster we do this the faster the question will come to the world?

R. Yes, of course.

Inner Light (50:23) Item 40 “Meaning the five degrees KHBZON do not ….”

55. R. (52:08) It is like in circles, we have one circle inside it is a second circle inside that is a third circle. So each circle goes around the other not that there is an upper or lower there is internal or external, it's not that one is more or less, there is no more or less. Rather it precedes the other, this is the big difference, each precedes the other not that it is more. We can then speak about the importance but actually we are always speaking about cause and effect, that this is the first which is the cause and the second one is the effect and the third one is the result of that also.

56. S. (53:49) You gave us an instruction to read the excerpt as much as possible and on the other hand you said maybe not too much so what is the right dosage?

R. The correct dose, I don't know, all the time I find in these excerpts always additions as many years as I am familiar with them. Some of them I was even present when Rabash wrote them, the renewal comes from within a person that he changes and sees new things in them. So we are not separating from our topic, it is the most important topic as we have reached states where we feel that this is how we must in each and every moment behave that everything is promised to us. So be healthy and let us make the effort until tomorrow to read, to listen and to learn, connect with the groups.
