Middle Line - Selected Excerpts, #22

Rav’s Introduction:

1.The whole of reality that we feel, both the way we feel it now and also what we will feel on higher degrees, spiritual degrees. The whole of reality is revealed as including two opposites. Because we as created beings cannot feel otherwise. A different reality that is the Creator but Him Himself we cannot feel, but rather we feel Him by being the opposite of Him and resembling Him and then as the advantage of light out of darkness black and white, love over hatred, love covers all crimes. In such a way we discover the upper force, the one that exists, there is none else besides Him. However, we need where we can, are capable of discovering Him as created beings only in the form of something and its opposite. This is why all of our work is in connecting opposite things. For us it is manifested in that we have a will to receive and we try above it to discover the force of bestowal, reflected light on top of the coarseness. Otherwise, we cannot connect the separate, broken Kelim which the Creator shattered deliberately this way. We feel ourselves that we are not capable of being as one, internally emotionally in our mind and heart we cannot.

This is how it is to begin with we have the preparation for arranging the Creator between us so that He can arrange these two opposites that there is me and someone else, something else besides me, so that these two things even though they will remain in opposition to one another, because the coarseness, the Aviut is not canceled, however we will also tie them together as though they are as one. As if they are as one. That force that needs to create this connection between the opposite things that will be the Creator. This is how we will feel His revelation.

Now in the meantime we are discovering forms of hatred, rejection, disagreement, misunderstanding, simply something that is outside of us and all of these forms are actually the opposite form of the Creator the opposite form of unity. This is why from that we come to the attainment of the Creator. As much as we have the opposite form and of course one who is greater than his friend his inclination is greater. He feels himself as rejecting the others more hating them more and the more we grow from generation to generation we have a feeling that I am me and the other is another and that way on top of that specifically we will discover how much we can be with this rejection. Also, that love covers all crimes. Also, with connection between us. The gap, the difference between the rejection and the connection between the hatred and love this will give us the intensity of the revelation of the Creator because this gap will remain as coarseness and the connection will be as Tzimtzum Masach and Ohr Hozer, restriction screen and reflected light, on top of the coarseness. This is how we will start to feel specifically between the plus and the minus, the power of the Creator that is revealed between us more and more. He is the glue that will connect all of the opposites.

Therefore, when He created, He created Adam HaRishon and broke it and He entered all of His force between the parts, the pieces. He dwells, He is among all of the broken parts as the opposite form of Himself. So that we will discover Him in this way, through something and its opposite. Therefore, everything that is revealed is only revealed through something and its opposite. From hatred to love, from rejection, misunderstanding, to connection until we reach adhesion and love. This is why connecting the parts of Adam HaRishon the system or discovering the Creator who is uniting who is gluing us, it is one and the same. It is the same. However, either we are searching, how do we connect him the broken pieces in order to bring Him contentment.

Each time in different manners we relate to this work but actually it is a simple work. Between us between all of the friends in all of our sensations, of me and something outside of me, this is where the Creator is in this His opposite form. I need to make it so that this opposite form according to our exertion, according to our effort and request our prayer will turn from the force of rejection to the force of connection, the force of adhesion between us. Then darkness shall shine as light. Specifically, where there was the greatest hatred there would be the greatest light and it's not that one will cancel the other but rather, specifically love covers all crimes. We will feel the advantage of light out of darkness.

So that the first form also does not disappear. The corrected form dwells upon it so much so that the more that we advance, the gap between us it will seem to us as an abyss as darkness greater and greater and along with that we can therefore discover the Creator the light the force of connection and love with intensity and manners and all kinds of different forms that are more and more conspicuous specifically thanks to the darkness that is revealed. That is why one who is greater than his friend, his inclination is greater. The evil inclination becomes more manifested, specifically. In Kabbalists a great will to receive opens up a great rejection great hatred so that they cannot agree with each other and each time they are in worse states and this is how bit by bit and soon we will discover it in the tens and in the meantime, we are little like little children, they just play seemingly each one is with himself they still cannot play with each other. Later on, bit by bit we will discover the connection with each other, according to the connection we will start to feel rejection against each other.

Many groups of Kabbalists throughout history were broken on this path and they disappeared because they reached hatred and rejection that were so great that they could not hold themselves. This is coming deliberately from the Creator and we nevertheless must hold each other and discover the Creator upon all of the states in which He is revealed as bad as the bad force, this is called I have created the evil inclination. He Himself should appear there as the good inclination in that way we build the middle line. We do not neutralize the bad and the good, the hatred and love but rather from the two of them together, we learn how we can consist, be together.

As people who are mature, who understand creation that it consists entirely of bad and good, equally. You cannot have good without bad or bad without good naturally equal to each other. Specifically, in the connection between them, not by one canceling the other or being more than the other even love covers all crimes. However, this cover of love from the crimes cannot be more than the crimes. Then from these two specifically when we hold both of them, it's not simple to hold the hatred when the love comes when we don't want to think about hatred when we are all drawn truly to love it is very big blow a strike it is much work it is much greater work to maintain the hatred and not to cancel it and not to just jump into this ocean of love. No. We must consist of both and then we are in a state of where we are opposite the Creator.

He is only a single force even though there is also the bad force behind Him. I have created the evil inclination but we truly consist of both of them and we keep the middle line. He helps us in that and He is with us in that and this is how we advance. Therefore, each and every person should feel how much he consists of two. Two views, two forces, two desires that are opposite, all kinds of them it doesn't matter. This is the state of a person who is developing, this is the usual state. We need to get used to it, we need to understand that this is correct, the correct creation includes two forms of nature and we are in the middle wanting to hold onto the Creator.

So that the One who makes peace in the heavens this is his root from which he created the good and the bad. He Himself is actually above both of them He will make peace upon us. By Him being revealed as the gap between the good and between the light and the darkness in this opposition in this contrast between these two states we will discover Him. When we will make an effort and learn how to discover the good and the bad and the hatred in the love the rejection and the connection the attraction towards rejection, and rejection between the friends so that we do not push anyone away, of course on the condition that the friend also wants to search for the same middle line.

In such a way we reach the desire above both states, where the Creator is revealed towards us and we towards Him in that same middle line which we build from these two lines from hatred and love, rejection and connection, and they for us become as holding each other.

As we learn about the fire that holds onto the wick and the oil that there always has to be resistance as the Ptila, the wick in Hebrew, the soul, the flaw, the oil so together with that you need to have the oil and also the light and this is how we build our relation to reality.

Therefore, we need to realize that all of the actions that the world is performing in being drawn towards the good, they will not bring any good but rather more and more revelation of the bad Until everyone will discover and realize that there has to be a different method here for our existence.

We cannot, on one hand destroy each other as the will to receive would have liked to simply destroy all the opposites, but rather we need to learn how we do not cancel each other but actually use the oppositeness we have with each other in order to build the middle line. This is what we will now see all over the world especially in the parts that are more developed. This is how we will advance, so that specifically upon all the crimes that we maintain them, upon all crimes, love covers. If it will not follow that way, we will not be able to get married, have families, educate children and have some peace with our neighbors, between us inside within the country between different parties between different countries we will simply become the most destructive force in nature. Still, vegetative and animate can exist between them because they have between them a conduct, instinctive and correct behavior from nature, but we, only if we will find that middle line.

Building that middle line this is the most important. To rise above our ego, not to cancel it, but rather to rise above it to use this nature which the Creator has created in me so that I relate to it with keeping it, guarding it, with gentleness otherwise I also will not be able to compose the good inclination on top of it and I will also not be able to discover the Creator if I erase something from my evil inclination.

Rather everything that I have I keep it. I try against that and above it to build the force of bestowal which is the opposite and from the two of them I tried to compose a system. I ask that the Creator will help me assemble this system until I begin to see Him as a partner that he's helping me. He is being revealed between these two systems, the good and the bad as the Creator because He created them and he gave me these two systems. I am broken apart, disassembled and I, by trying to put them together, I start to see Him, that is we build Him. Like a Lego when we put it together, what do we get in the end. The form of the Creator.

This is the revelation of the Creator. This is how He is revealed through our work of putting together the good and the bad and putting ourselves together without, God forbid, losing anything bad on the way and with finding against it all of the good things.

This means that the middle line is built out of the fact that both the bad and the good, we have to connect them together in such a way that the Creator will be revealed between the two of them. So if we want the good and bad to connect, they will simply cancel each other out, like the plus in the minus, like a shortcut, like in electricity. Also we won't be able to bring them closer to each other, like in a magnet you cannot bring them closer. Rather what we can do is only to try to discover the form of the Creator which needs to be such that the good and the bad that we discover, this establishes His form for the time being, in between the good in the bad. Then it becomes the middle line and He makes peace between us. This is how we discover Him, the Creator created the evil inclination He himself is the good inclination and we discover Him with the right establishment between the two of them.

That form that becomes revealed that is connecting the good and the bad, all of our efforts that we make, this is called Adam. That we position, we establish this system that is similar to the Creator and to that extent that we build the system of Adam in such a way the Creator is revealed in it. This is the revelation of the Creator to the created being that we need to attain. Therefore, do not run away from anywhere, search for the upper force, it is only between us with a prayer with a request with the good things, with bad things it all needs to be enclosed between us.

The prayer everybody should pray the efforts to search for Him we all bring ourselves into it we talk about it each and everything we try to do it together and between us. Truly in such a way this is all of the work of Kabbalists, those who want to receive the revelation of the Creator. That between them, they assemble the system from the good in the bad and the Creator is revealed there as the middle line. Therefore, opposite that we will feel how much our daily reality is throwing us in all directions, it doesn't allow us to focus specifically between us in searching for the form of the Creator that will connect us that will connect all the opposite and we will have to resist it. That is the more he is separated between us dividing us pushing us away from each other and in the tens and also between people and between countries and nations all of this is done out of his desire to specifically awaken us to find a place for his revelation. He is seemingly acting against it and pushing away and confusing us that we need to hold each other in the group with this Arvut, mutual guarantee so that he will come and connect us because without Him we cannot do it. This is why our work has to be put together in strengthening the connection between us so we can turn to Him and demand from Him that “He who makes peace in the Heavens will make peace between us.” Peace, in Hebrew, Shalom is called Shlemut or haShlemah, wholeness or complementation. Everywhere where we can discover the necessity that where the Creator where we have between us friction, misunderstanding, distancing, we are happy because then more and more we can pull him in and different manner so that he will dwell among us so that he will connect us guard us and he will not allow us to scatter. Then we can pray in advance that he will hold us, that he will not allow us to run away. He certainly the opposite form, each time He will give us exercise of distancing misunderstanding, each time we will discover in my friends all kinds of forms that are unpleasant for me and they are different in all kinds of ways and I need to know that it's the Creator that is doing it to me, all these exercises come from him. Because who are we all in all he's playing with us as puppets if we build out of ourselves the system of Adam between the puppets and it turns out what the Creator created he created the system of still, vegetative and animate and the broken Adam and we put the broken Adam this is our work only that. We constantly want to be focused on that, therefore all of the tens throughout the day should once in a while come together and talk about it, are they succeeding in seeing all of the things, the good things and the bad things they have between them and how to correctly combine the good and bad things in that the Creator is dwelling between them. To forcefully bring him in, to imagine that He exists between them and such a way neither are erased, they do not cancel each other out but rather both of them exist and also the Creator exists as the source between them and we unite with the Creator in that both the good and the bad, we receive the bad as well and we see how much they are causing are correct connection.

2. S. (26:15) The Creator is the power that's opposite to the negative force or is it the force that completes the negative and the positive?

R. Everything. Everything, later on we will discover that behind the scenes, even behind my mind and my heart He is there as well and He is arranging everything there as well and actually how do we know that there is none else besides Him. That we only have a single point, the point of the shattering that it exists in each one of us in order to discover that besides it, there is none else besides Him and it exists specifically, from there's none else besides Him.

S. So what is the positive force that appears above the positive and negative?

R. The positive and negative forces are revealed but the force above it is the first force. I am the first and I am the last. This is something else, it's not the positive or the negative, this is nature itself. The Creator Himself.

S. When the negative is revealed in the ten what do we demand?

R. We demand not to cancel the negative, that is what is required of us, but rather to reach a state all of this negative we cover it with the positive force and in the two of them we discover in the distance between them, in the oppositeness between them we feel their maker the Creator.

S. How do you not cancel out the negative?

R. I'm concerned about it, that it will not be cancelled.

S. By what?

R. I don't want to cancel it, I relate to it as a necessary component in creation, otherwise there is no creation. Creation, Beria, Bar, outside of connection and I want it to exist otherwise how will I reach a connection that is 620 times greater, because it was as a force that came from the Creator, the primary force and the first force and through the force of rejection and hatred, I amplify the intensity of the connection upon the power of the shattering and this is how I reach this power which is 620 times greater, NRNHY instead of Nefesh of Nefesh of Nefesh of Assiya, okay.

3. S. (29:03) How will we discover this evil and goodness so that we can get to the middle line? What is this good and evil state?

R. We don't want to cancel them, the bad or the good, let's say like grown up old people with some experience in life, when we are, let’s say in a certain system like in our family with our children, with so that I know that I have my partner, let's say my wife, all the children and each one has his own character and I cannot do anything about it, I can't bend them. Also if I come in with my own force I silence them maybe but by that I do not correct the situation. The correction and in us knowing how to use the good force in the bad force, so that we say this is coming to us from above, we were born with that so let us arrange these bad forces between us in such a way that they will complete each other. But how? If we're now discovering what is inside, if we would find what is inside each and every family, everyone would want to kill everyone, so no. But how will we discover these opposite forces that we are all opposite to each other? There is no one that has something similar to the other, it just seems that way to us now but the will to receive will grow and we will see how different we are and opposite we are, how we hate each other more and more this is why we hate each other. So, what I need to find here is the participation sharing, how can there be sharing participation between opposites? Then I reach a state where I have no choice, he who makes peace in the heavens will make peace on us. I don't understand which way but when the special force will come I will see the good in the bad equally not one is negative not one is positive but rather both of them are negative, both of them are positive and I need both of them equally because I've discover between them the force of connection, the force of love. One cannot be without the other. We see it even in our lives that sometimes people who love each other have a natural inclination to sting each other. By that, they awaken even more the feeling of love. We have it even on such levels like a flirt, flirting with each other where one seemingly does not want the other, not this way not that way. Why? Because by that, awakens the opposite forces and it is impossible in any other way to increase them, to raise them and this is in our simple corporeal form, but in the spiritual form there you cannot have bad without good or bad without good in a way that they will stand in such an intensity that each one ignites the other and then the fire of love burns.

3A. S. (00:33:00) Let's say that evil appears In the group, the group cannot stand it disintegrates.....?

R. What you're telling me is not the method of Kabbalah, not the method of Kabbalah. If the group splits because they cannot hold evil that is revealed between them, it is the Creator who is revealed between them in the opposite form, and they are not meeting all of the requirements in order to discover Him in the correct way. Nothing will come between them by dispersing. In fact, just the opposite. They simply are canceling the spiritual path, that's it. Never, never. It says anything but leave, anything but break apart. If there are people who suddenly appear in all kinds of groups who harm, they're confusing people, there deviating from the path and we have such people. Once in a while, this is how it's done. But besides that, no. Besides that, if anyone wants to leave and leaves but our way is specifically that upon the crimes that are revealed, cover them with love. Otherwise, what kind of men are you? You're not receiving the force of hatred, rejection more than what you're supposed to overcome. The Creator gave you a possibility to overcome and you are just throwing away this opportunity, you don't want to get it. For us it is better to move with this difficulty in ascending to spirituality, instead of that we will just decline. We will just split. You are really just disregarding the whole method. It's a shame, hopefully now you'll correct it and go forward and there will be many other such states of hatred and rejection if they're on the path, if they're on the path towards connection then just overcome them and ask for a connection with the Creator. Ask for his help and also ask for help from the other groups. You should already have your eyes looking forward. Is that clear?

4. S. (00:36:17) A friend is asking what is the boundary between good and bad so that we don't harm each other on the path?

R. There is no boundary between the good and bad, rather this is the place where we discover the upper force and we demand that He will connect between us. We demand that the Creator will be revealed in all of the opposite states between us.

5. S. (00:36:58) When you were with Rabash were there annulments in the group and the evil was revealed?

R. No there weren't, there were small things where I would turn them off or take care of them because I was Rabash’s assistant, here and there, I was involved in it but not in the form that we are now studying. There was no state in the groups they didn't discover in the groups such states of friction inside of the group and between the groups we didn't reach that yet. Didn't reach it.

S. So each one experienced it within himself or the group wasn't advanced enough I want to...?

R. You should check it on yourself not on history you won't understand anything of what happened, it wasn't given to you to scrutinize or to research it. You have to research what you have in your group, how much you need to help the group so that the Creator will be revealed in it.

S. I'm just asking in a practical way because my whole work, is it something that should be apparent to everyone when nature is revealed between us or is it with?

R. You should talk about it in general as we're studying now.

6. S. (00:39:03) When you say to cover with love there's already a non equal relationship towards good and evil, so how to relate equally to good and evil?

R. I don't know I see what it says, so what I'm telling you we will now read excerpts and we will see from them what we need to do and I'm just standing next to you so that together with you, I can understand these excerpts better what Rabash and Baal HaSulam write for us.

S. So the natural inclination when hatred is revealed is to run away from it towards connection to one connection?

R. We're not running away from connection, we're maintaining the hatred and along with that we try to be in love along with that love covers all crimes. If I throw away the crime then there's nothing that I can do, there's no longer the wisdom of Kabbalah, it's some philosophy, democracy, I don't know what.

S. What does it mean to maintain love above hatred?

R. This is what you need to learn in the group how to do it and also at home to learn that, everywhere in a healthy way that I have hatred and I cover it with love this is called the healthy approach of a man who is overcoming all of the evil and covering it with good and the good exists because you cover it the bad otherwise there is no value to the good.

7. S. (00:40:55) Why are the contradictions that are revealed to a person on the path? Why do they serve as a jumping board on the path?

R. Otherwise what would be the springboard if it's not the contrast, the oppositions that are revealed?

S. What is the main idea of the contradictions to give birth to prayer, is that the idea?

R. The contradictions are revealed so that we will try, the greater they are to build upon them the middle line that connects the two of them and then maintain the two of them so that the left line hatred is revealed as Aviut, coarseness and the right line love is revealed as connection or refinement and out of that we will have the spiritual Partzuf.

8. S. (00:41:56) How to be assisted correctly by the ten in the state of darkness what's the right place for states of darkness in the ten, do we give it room even, how to express it correctly?

R. In the ten we are always capable of emerging from the darkness it cannot be that the Creator is giving everyone the same feeling of both darkness and we're immersed in it and no one can save his friends. We need that some friends that come together to connect and throw a rope to the friends that are in a worse state and by that way by taking care of each other and by turning to the Creator, we will save everyone and get to a state where we realize that we receive that state from the Creator in order for us to discover between us a place for Him so that He can connect us and then we return to Him and He arranges for us a connection and He becomes revealed.

S. So is the state of darkness wanted to ten should take care of?

R. We need to take care of the darkness but it's not that we bring the darkness we are always drawn towards light, towards connection, towards love.

9. S. (00:43:43) What do I need to do, exactly what do I need to hate, exactly?

R. You hate only one thing, your own laziness. Your own laziness, that is not giving you the possibility to move and to scrutinize all of the forces that exist between you and the group only. You need to hate only that, we don't need to hate the bad truly, hatred to the bad to the evil will come later when we will start to yearn for the good. we need the hatred towards it but the hatred doesn't cancel out The evil it just positions it, formats the bad the right way. We need forces of separation always in order to raise above them the forces of unification.

10. S. (00:44:40) You mentioned before, the Partzuf, in the Partzuf is the reflected light, the middle line and if so, what significance does it have, what meaning?

R. Is the will to receive with a screen, with a Masach, which can come to resemble the upper light through connection between all the parts and in that it resembles the Creator in total. The Partzuf is called the measure of bestowal from the created being to the Creator. The Partzuf is called the place where the created being and the Creator connect, the Partzuf it is everything, it's the whole of creation is the Partzuf, there's no more than 10 Sefirot it just depends on the scale of these 10 Sefirot.

11. S. (00:46:02) We heard that there is this role called the assistant, what is the assistant the Shamash in the ten?

R. It's one of the friends that we still act on a daily basis or weekly basis to manage the administration of the ten.

12. S. (00:46:35) Thank you for the deep explanation, theoretically it's clear but practically, what exactly is the bad, in the ten, are these things that the person thinks, or things a person does, what is the evil, the bad?

R. The bad or evil is the power of rejection we have between us, before we find the good force to go against it which helps us connect, connect above the evil. So until you set the evil and the good together to support each other, as we say the advantage of light out of darkness or rather the darkness will shine as light. When we arrange them together, we see that it's not evil, it's like oil, it's a flammable material if we use it correctly, we can light the fire the connection between us so we need to have both rejection and the inclination towards connection, we cannot have one without the other. One who is greater than his friend, his inclination is greater than his friend, has a greater ego.

S. But should it be something that is already manifested, we have some argument or fight or is it enough that a friend has the thought about the friend that is not correct is that enough?

R. Yes and that he needs to check, also he can consult with the other friends, am I wrong or not wrong in thinking that specifically friend is being harmful, maybe he's not harmful and maybe the evil that appears in him seemingly goes against connection, but it helps us find another flaw in the connection between.

S. Any egoistic thoughts that pass through a person's mind with respect to something related to connection that is already bad, we can define that as bad?

R. For the time being but we have to check because there's useful bad and harmful bad, the useful bad is such that we can overcome and turn it into good it's fuel and the harmful bad is that which confuses us, it makes us become more distanced to each other and confuses the friends and lowers the connection between us, from the spiritual to the corporeal level, causing a kind of a mess in the connection of the ten, there are such examples of things that we cannot agree with.

13. S. (00:49:36) In the work of connection in the ten bit by bit things become clearer and words of the friends are constantly aimed towards the feeling of connection and unity, in that state what am I supposed to hate, where is hatred in that inner work?

R. Hatred can come from just simple rejection where I don't feel some of the friends, as close to me as the rest, even those little things, that's already called hatred. Between hatred and love there is no neutral state, in the middle. If not love, we can already define it as hatred. Also, you have to understand maybe you don't hate because you don't want to suffer that, maybe you have all sorts of other calculations, but if it's not love then it's hatred, there's nothing in between.

S. In this work let's say one of the friends falls from it, that's already hatred?

R. It's your defensive force, it cannot be said that you do not feel the hatred, you simply erased it because you can't call it active hatred, but we also call it hatred because if our goal is love and connection, then anything that is opposite is considered to be hatred.

14. S. (00:50:01) How can we use despair, despair as a means of connection between us and towards the purpose of the work in the ten?

R. You need to turn to each other, you need to have Shamash, the administration and the Gabai in the group, we need to maybe after the morning lesson we say that this one and that one they're responsible for the mood of the group and administration. Everyone else has to listen to them, to serve under them, to do what they say. But of course, not in a way where nothing is accomplished, where you don't feel like you're advancing throughout the day how can that be? I have a ten immediately after the morning lesson we meet then and in the afternoon and then in the evening. Also, I have my programs that we shoot, the meeting of articles where I need to prepare myself for tomorrow's lesson. I have to fill up my time as much as possible, I understand that all of you work and you have to take care of your families, but with all of that your hearts and minds, you have to load up with concern for the ten. Like when you have a baby at home and you think about the baby and what's happening with it and then that way you have to think about the ten.

S. You also asked about laziness?

R. So there's no laziness, for that you have to have the Gabaiim, collectors, you have to awaken each other, each one helps his friend, what is laziness? You have become used to not doing anything, you don't go over the morning lesson during the day, you must listen to it otherwise you won’t advance. Hearing it once is nothing, you need to listen to the morning lesson twice, once during the morning lesson and another time during the day and to discuss it also. It's called twice the source and once the translation or the interpretation.

15. S. (00:54:55) Something more emotional revealed, when you rise above the hatred, the feeling of the hatred becomes something else, as if it dissolves this boundary of how far I can connect and beyond that I have rejection so the question is hatred it constantly grows until I can’t connect it all?

R. You need to pray you need to ask together with the group and also you want to rise above the hatred.

16. S. (00:55:47) How do we reach a state of harmony between love and hatred in the work?

R. The more you increase the love, the more harmony you will achieve. You don't need to be concerned about the hatred, the hatred is invoked by forces but you need to invoke love so harmony depends on the extent to which you are drawn towards love.

17. S. (00:56:21) The feeling of suffering, is it the last degree above which we build the screen?

R. We don't need to yearn for suffering, troubles. Rather, we need to always be adhered to the connection between us and the Creator. because that's our rope, our rescue wheel, our float. It's called, a fool sits idly by and eats his own flesh. I don't sit and cry and cry and eat myself up, that's completely not the way a man should be in the form of a man. The man, Gever, comes from the word Hitgabrut, overcoming immediately rising towards whatever means can save him from the state and the fact that the Creator throws us to such a state, it is so that we will learn to come out of them as quickly as possible.

18. S. (00:58:01) What happens to the love and hatred when they are connected in the middle line?

R. Love and hatred when they are connected through the middle line they give us the feeling of the Creator. We see that hatred and love both have the same power in creation like the minus and the plus in the building of materials, substances and so we use love and hatred equally in order to discover the Creator, as the little lines, who is above both.

19. S. (00:59:09) There's a feeling now that in the work we discover certain rejection and maybe some burdening and we try to search for how to rise above it and reach that love. Maybe like the example with hunger a person feels hunger yet does not know if he'll be able to fill it up or not and it creates an even greater state. Can we reach a state where all these negative states are revealed like appetite, like towards a meal for sure we'll get it and so that state of despair maybe we won't reach this state of love or is this necessary conditioning for it?

R. This feeling where I greatly you yearn for something when it's where I cannot attain is an excellent feeling it's excellent. It provides strength and power to the yearning for love, imagine how it is between people who love each other more, they yearn for each other, if they're in a state where they almost cannot meet, they need to preserve this state, appreciate it greatly. Upon that above it, to begin to discover connection ties of love without confiscating this tendency towards connection, the hunger, the attraction needs to remain that's the secret of eternal love, of complete love. That the lack from when there was no love remains also after you accomplished, you have reached love and you know how to preserve it, if so although tied together, already mating, by that they increase the level, the power of the mating of the coupling, as though they are separated and so they are always in a state of coming closer. Although, where is there to move towards your already attached together and connected to each other, coupling, but no, we still feel that there's the same yearning between us that existed before and this yearning we keep, we do not want to vanish because if that yearning disappears, the Aviut, the coarseness, then the love will disappear. Because love is something more than connection, it's an inner desire, inclination to be within each other. So it's difficult to put in words, in the words of this world, but that's how it is in spirituality. Try to imagine it and you will see how much more we still have to advance in that.

20. S. (01:02:52) You always speak about anything but leave, but in the ten how should I ... towards friends who are not present, not taking part, what should be the middle line with such friends?

R. One who doesn't participate is not a participant, I have nothing to do with it. It doesn't mean anything that they're registered in the ten it doesn't mean that they're registered in the ten. Everyday I receive reports after the lesson, who attended and who didn't attend the lesson and they're not there, so what can I do, I don't take them into account. One who reaches the goal and is awarded with the revelation of the Creator well it's those who do the work and the Creator does not give up on the personal work of each and everyone in exertion, it is an exertion. Because that way if a person has no vessel and everything passes them by. So, we should make this calculation together, finally are we working together in order to connect together or not and every day we get another dose and another dose, another portion for our advancement and how to maintain, how to create the proper vessel in which to reach the Creator. Today we're talking about the three lines, very advanced state from the writings of Rabash and Baal HaSulam so if they're not with us he won't be able to convey this to them because it's an emotional matter, an emotional integration where we are now all together.

21. S. (01:05:04) Continuing what was said I wanted to ask, isn't hatred revealed when we violate the rules of Rabash and then we cannot cover it with love?

R. When hatred begins to be revealed, make strong efforts to cover it with love, the hatred comes as a gift from the Creator who wants to promote us. Hatred is revealed in us as a gift from the Creator who wants us to advance towards love.

22. S. (01:06:06) If in the ten everyone is attending zooms and everyone feels now, they're in the lessons, trying to connect even more?

R. To connect as much as possible with as much force as you can, until you discover that you're not connected at all. You are all gentlemen not touching each other, you are all nice and pretty and everything's fine, you mustn't raise your voice, you mustn't think bad of each other. We completely cut these things off at the root, God forbid. Start coming closer together and you'll see how you cannot tolerate each other, otherwise what kind of group are you? It is just a retirement home.

S. How not to break it up so that the group will not fall apart?

R. Not to be afraid of us moving in the direction of connection and the group breaking up. The main thing is we need to advance towards connection and if we break up, fine I don't mind but we must preserve the connection and it's under the condition that we advance not to be conservative about advancing where we care only about the status quo, God forbid, anything but that.

23. S. (01:07:570) Was awarded with a gift that a thought awakens in me that I don't love some friend and when this thought awakens what is it that I do first, second, third?

R. You need to make a calculation for us from above. Secondly, how can you do it in order to advance, because if the will to receive is greater, then you can attain a higher degree because that's how we rise, this is how we climb the degrees each time and do it, do the work, love covers all crimes. Until you reach a state where you love the friends in the new state, you understand that you got the hatred from the Creator. Now you want to receive also the power of love in the work, in the society you receive these forces the minus and the plus with which you advance towards the revelation of the Creator.

24. S. (01:09:16) The revelation of evil outside of our society, outside of the ten, can it be considered as bestowal and if so, will it always repeat that act of bestowal?

R. We don't take what happens outside of the group into account, we don't take that into account, things that happen outside of the group. We can learn what happens in other groups in Bnei Baruch, but outside of the Global Group whatever happens there, completely doesn't matter to me. I don't mix with them and they don't mix with me.

25. S. (01:10:16) If you can explain please it's not quite clear on the one hand you say that we need to yearn for love and connection in the ten as much as possible and on the other hand you say that we shouldn't....?

R. Use love in the way it is one of the components on the path, it's not that you can drown there, there needs to be always two, needs to be the middle line between hatred and love

26. S. (01:10:54) What is the correct annulment in the ten?

R. The correct annulment in the ten is such that I annul myself towards the friends as though they're the greatest of the generation

27. S. (01:11:17) That bad that we do not erase which is revealed as a result of the connection is it dynamic, does it constantly change?

R. Yes.

S. And we have to hold on to it all the time?

R. Yes.

S. Out of it emerges the next connection?

R. Nothing emerges from the evil, from the proper connection between good and evil comes connection.

28. S. (01:11:44) We understand that the existence of all oppositeness are dependent on each other, then is the Creator or in other words are we the opposite counterparts of him?

R. We assemble a vessel in which the Creator is revealed as the middle line, there is the evil inclination and we can draw upon a good inclination the force of reception in the force of bestowal. If they merge in us together then we discover their root, their cause which is the middle line

29. S. (01:12:42) The work in relation to hatred, the more that I try to go above it the more it strangles me, it seems like this is direct work with hatred and we always lose. How can I work opposite my ego, what strategies can I use?

R. Only to enter the group to integrate into the group and don't be afraid to lose yourself to completely integrate as much as possible, to see the group as corrected and when you integrate there in the group you will also receive a measure of correction and with no criticism.

30. S. (01:13:53) How do we obligate the Creator to help us above the degree of coarseness that is revealed in the ten, how do we reach the feeling that everything is good?

R. If you connect in good and evil and turn to the Creator to arrange this whole situation for you so that he has a place in which to be revealed to give him contentment then you will force him and he will be revealed to you, he will help you and this is how it will happen.

31. S. (01:14:35) I heard you say that we need to keep the hatred and to build above it, what does that mean in the ten? We try to come closer, hatred is revealed, we build love above it and from here on it is like a state of euphoria.

R. That is incorrect, that is not true, if we reach a good state and integrate in the good state without a bad state, we constantly need to maintain both. We do not lose any force in reality like little children in reality who laugh or cry, we are adults and we know that there is good, that there is bad, there is a time to collect the stones and there is a time to throw the stones. Meaning both, we need to connect these two states together through the middle line, this is our effort to discover the common source of good and evil which is the Creator. We need to repetitively try to do this all of the time, to discuss it, to think about it until we discover from all of this dirt, that we will discover the true state. It is impossible to explain it, with the words, there is a special feeling.

S. Results of the rule that we don't dig in the past, let's say I have some memory, the last 10 years I've been in the states I felt states of hatred...

R. What you have now is to assemble the state from the good and the bad, to be connected through both of them to their source which is the Creator from where it all comes and you are connected to him through these feelings. Otherwise, you cannot grab a hold of the Creator, why do we need the good and the bad? Without that we cannot build the image of the Creator because we don't detain him, we attain Creator, Boreh, come and see, meaning we come from the side of the vessel with the coarseness and all of the problems and the, Re’eh, the see where we attain love above all of that and when we attain love, we attain a thing called Boreh.

S. When and at what point can I say that's it I have used the state of hatred?

R. We don't, we haven't gone through hatred or love because to go through these states it is possible only if these states exist in us in parallel, hatred and love both, not one after the other. When we will be able to arrange them together and by that prepare a room for the Creator as the root of both, equally, then it can be said that we have passed the states, went through them. Otherwise, what we went through are all corporeal forms that have nothing of spirituality in them. Spirituality begins when the Creator is revealed upon the negative force.

32. S. (01:18:38) How is the love of manifested in the ten?

R. Love manifest in the ten when I want to unite with the Creator and therefore, I love the friends who are the components of my soul, together with whom I discover the Creator and to the extent that I want to give contentment to them, in general, the Creator is called the sum total, then I can give contentment to him. I cannot relate to the Creator more or in a way other than I relate to the friends I cannot hate the friends and loved the Creator as it is a contradiction.

Excerpt Zohar for All, Ki Tazria 105 Reader (01:19:38 - 01:22:34) reads twice

“As light excels over darkness.” The benefit of the light comes only out of the darkness. The correction of the white is black, for without the black, the white would be pointless. And because there is black, the white is elevated and respected. It is like sweet and bitter. A person cannot know the taste of sweetness before he has tasted bitterness. Thus, what makes it sweet is the bitter.

In things where there are opposites, the one reveals the other, such as in white and black, light and darkness, sick and healthy. If there were no sickness in the world, the term healthy would be unattainable, as it is written, “God has made the one opposite the other.” And it is also written, “It is good that you grasp the one, and also not let go of the other.”

Excerpt Zohar For All Tetzaveh #86 (01:22:35 - 01:23:32)

Since there is no light except for that which comes out of that darkness. This is so because when that side surrenders, the Creator rises above and His glory grows. Also, the work of the Creator is only out of darkness, and there is no good except from within the bad. And when one enters a bad way and leaves it, the Creator rises in his glory. Hence, the perfection of everything is good and bad together, and to later depart to the good. And there is no good except for that which comes out of the bad. And in that good, the glory of the Creator increases, and this is complete work.

Excerpt 23 Reader (01:23:33 - 01:25:08)

33. R. Speaks of the work which way in the future we'll get to all of its details.

Excerpt 24 Reader (01:25:19 - 01:26:46)

34. R. That is how we need to maintain the left and the right, the good and the evil in all of their forms and we have only to combine them together to the best of our ability in between us in the ten and to ask the Creator to do the same all over the world according to our example.

35. S. (01:27:10) What do we see in the middle line, is it the greatness of the Creator?

R. In the middle line we will discover the whole of reality in its true form to an extent of course, to our height in the middle line, we will see how the Creator establishes and fills this reality. We are as partners with him, sustaining, discovering and presenting him with this reality when he is revealed. We and the Creator above meet in the middle line.
