Reading "When Is One Considered “A Worker of the Creator” in the Work?"
1. S. (49:37) I was impressed in the article that the process that a man goes through is that each time he comes, he sows, he gives efforts and for all kinds of reasons doesn’t reap anything; Meaning the spirits of the world come and spread him and this repeats itself this way. The question is where can a person continue to get motivation to continue to sow seeds and not go somewhere else or stop sowing. What protects Him?
R. What protects him is his connection to the Creator, the threads by which he's connected to the Creator and there are two: The first is the point in the heart which we can say is like a gene inside the person's heart then the person awakens and he feels like he has a place of his own and he goes and he overcomes and he connects, that's one thing, and the other thing is that he builds for himself an environment the upper providence brings him to a place for where everyone is connected to the Creator and to the upper system and then when he enters that place, with the friends, he sees himself. He sees how he should be, how he should organize himself, how to overcome disturbances but that they are intentional that without them it isn’t possible and so on and so forth; meaning, all in all throughout our lives if we wish to use our desire then they bring us to the correct goal and if a person does not pay attention for a variety of reasons if he does not pay attention to the fact that they are trying to lead him to the role of eternal adhesion with the upper force then there are other opportunities and other incarnations and so on and so forth and he extends his path.
2. S. (52:40) We read that if a person sows a seed in the ground he needs to overcome and nullify. Well if a person does that, what does it mean to sow and seed in our work?
R. It's when he connects to the group and the Creator as much as possible and he invests all of his powers in order to grow in them. That is called sowing a seed and later he annuls himself just like the seed that rots in the ground and he proceeds to grow.
S. We said that we have to watch over the seed. What does it mean to protect or watch over it?
R. We have to protect it because it's a gift that we have from above and we have to place it in the soil and we have to give it everything it needs in order to grow a little bit of water, some air, soil, minerals, everything that is needed. That's how a person places himself in the correct environment and in the correct group that makes sure to give him everything he needs in order to receive so specifically with the right environment he can annul his will to receive and he begins to summon forces to seed the will to bestow and then he grows.
3. S. (54:50) What are nine months of gestation in our work?
R. The 9 months of gestation are 7, 9, or 11 months and that's the period in which the seed becomes an embryo.
S. What does it mean on our path? I understand that nine months of gestation comes from pregnancy to birth. What does it mean on our path?
R. On our path it's the summoning of forces that we need so from the same spiritual seed that the Creator placed in us will grow a spiritual embryo, a new person that through pregnancy and a special process will be born into the world.
4. S. (56:33) What is the awakening from below? How can you make sure that a person is giving his 100%?
R. This depends on a person. This depends on his degree on those conditions that the Creator takes him through but really what a person needs in order to be prepared is to know how to annul himself relative to the treatment that the Creator is giving him.
S. How does he check because it was written in the article that he has to give 100%. A person knows what 100% is?
R. The person knows that during the pregnancy, he needs to be connected like an embryo in his mother's womb and he needs to be connected to the mother’s body. And that will help him grow correctly, that's why we need to annul toward our teachers, the Kabbalists, the books, the society and with the help of all those things we acquire the right form until we grow, until we develop and we are ready to come out into the world; meaning, until the next degree through the gestation and the birth.
5. S. (58:30) It is written when he comes to true loneliness that he knows that he is the lowest of people and this is a condition to come to the Creator. So what does it mean that he is the lowest? It sounds like we are all born in the will to receive.
R. We are all born in the will to receive but as he develops and develops correctly he will constantly see how much the will to receive in him, his ego, keeps growing and is great and he cannot tolerate himself, he cannot stand his ego and then the correct development comes through the correct months of gestation and he begins to get ready, he flips inside with his head facing downward and he's ready to put in the effort to come out through the birth canal, the narrowest place and he comes out, he is born in a very special process and we can see even on the animate degree and the human degree nevertheless they are capable of pushing through these pathways.
6. S. (1:00:35) It is written that there is no happier moment in a person's life than when he is despared of his own forces. Can this state be during a certain period of time or can it be just a moment?
R. I don't get it, you're talking about the time?
S. This state that he's despaired of his own forces is it a state that can be prolonged or does it come suddenly?
R. No, no, no. From above they give a person states that he can come to gradually and you can see where he is and he knows these states. It’s not like something is happening outside of a person.
7. S. (1:01:55) Why is it important for a woman that her offspring be a male?
R. Male means force of the bestowal. Mother is an upper degree that gives birth to a lower degree called embryo and she is interested in giving birth to a male embryo so the force of bestowal will come out into the world.
S. What is the responsibility for the male for the offspring to be a male?
R. We are not learning about this for the time being.
8. S. (1:02:56) It's clear that we want every action of ours to have an offspring that is a male child and we want to attain the quality of the desire to bestow; meaning, that we want to bury the will to receive in the Adama, ground. From the root word Adameh; meaning, I should resemble the upper one, the one that is up high. What does it mean burying the seed in the ground? to bury the force of reception in the ground? What do we do with the force of reception?
R. If we see that it's a female, then we don't want to give birth and develop this seed because we need correction, we need forces of bestowal. That is why we bury the seed, the female seed, in the ground. There are all kinds of actions in it, customs, all kinds of things that for the time being there is no time to talk about right now.
S. It is written in the article that a person feels like filth, he feels choked up so when he's feeling all choked up and filled with filth, manure, what gives him air, what gives him the strength to continue?
R. First of all, it is clear why he is feeling this way. It is because we are going from the nature of the will to receive of the created being to the nature of the will to bestow and the nature of the Creator and the transition between these two states, two worlds, is extremely special. It is extremely narrow like the birth canal, as it is written and we need to understand that through the group and special actions that we are learning about we can pass through this way to be born and develop.
9. S. (1:06:02) The Creator puts the curse on them? So it will be able to grow? Explain please, what does it mean?
R. What does it mean? The Creator sends vessels of reception and vessels of bestowal and opportunity and the possibility to choose to advance along one of them.
S. Why would he send a curse to a person?
R. Because he cannot develop without it, a curse and a blessing is a matter of a will to receive. Otherwise we will not exist and will develop in the world to receive. We don't burn it, we don't with the help of the restriction and the screen of the reflected light. How do we give the will to receive the form of the will to bestow? The will to bestow by itself is the Creator, the created being.. will receive and restriction and a screen and reflective light in order to resemble the Creator. And the degrees of resembling the Creator is what we are learning about in these degrees and this is what we go through until he reaches the end of his correction.
S. So what does a person do when he feels this way as if? What is this correct response in this state?
R. His response and reaction is correct when this is the Creator's attitude to a person's ego.
10. S. (01:08:17) Why does the Creator need that? Meaning why do we need that? For us to be able to turn to him to receive these vessels? Why not just from the work as it is written?
R. You have two sources for direction on the desire to receive and the desire to bestow. The desire to receive comes directly from the Creator according to his calculation with respect to your drop of semen and the desire to bestow comes according to your work. And the two develop in this way, the male force and the female force in a person.
S. (01:09:30) Here is it is written that a person wants to nullify his will to receive and throws it into the ground to spread it, disperses it, as it is written a person is not thinking about the Creator he is disregarding him and turning to him when he is doing this? And that's why he's spreading his seeds and his water Etc.? That's what I took from the article. Why does the Creator demand that additional desire while he is throwing it in the ground? Why does the Creator demand the thought when the created being is trying to sew his will to receive in it?
R. It's from within the will to receive, he will split the will to bestow. What is Adam from the world to the upper one similar to what similar to his upper and external form but in his internal form he is entirely the will to receive. That's how we continue to develop with the will to receive, and through our efforts, exertions, connections, and receiving the upper force from above, we make the will to receive into the form of bestowal. That is the meaning of the man is growing.
S. (01:11:18) The meaning of.. is to sew his seed in the ground? Is that the meaning of the intention? That he is constantly trying to sew and do this in the ground? Meaning a person is trying to do this, he has this intention. Meaning he is not given this, the thought of the Creator is that meaning he is relating to us like we are disregarding him. Why do we need this addition of him while he is doing this, I can't understand. I didn't manage to understand this.
R. This is fundamental. A person is trying with his desire, to annul his desire so the force of bestowal will come out of it. He comes in, he tries, he works on it. And the Creator disperses these seeds, he cancels those efforts and the explanation is that we are not thinking about him on the path along the way in this action. Why do we need to think about him?
S. Why do we need to think about Him?
R. The force of bestowal, that is the form you need to acquire according to the purpose of creation and you will resemble the Creator. You are in this process, you are in this plan of creation, you cannot escape by wanting to acquire a different form.
