1. R. (01:46) Meaning we have 10 circles in them we have the line. In the first three Sefirot of this line Keter, Hochma and Bina and the seven lower Sefirot of this line, they are below these circles. Then the circles of Hassadim Mercy begin 3 Sefirot of Hochma of straightness in the 10 Circles of Hochma and the 7 lower Sefirot of Hochma below.

2. S. (02:46) The 3 Sefirot and the 7 Sefirot because they have different qualities there in a different direction, dimension or?

R. We will see that soon, why it is arranged that way according to what qualities it does to happen because the Creator, He doesn't create new laws in every single place but it stems from the fundamental law of the nature of the light and the nature of the vessels so let's see how it happens.

Reader continues Item 90 Inner light “At the end of the 7 Sefirot of Keter ….”

3. S. (04:30) I didn't really understand what does it mean the first Sefira wrote the first three Sefirot are the Sefirot of the line and the lower are of the circle?

R. You have 10 Sefirot of circles a circle, in a circle, in a circle, in a circle and each one of these 10 sefirot of the circles they all belong to Keter in them there is only the 3 Sefirot of straightness of the line Keter, Hochma and Bina. So it turns out I don't really want to draw because then instead of coming closer to spirituality we are coming closer to reality and then we are relating everything to the diagram and I want to relate everything to spiritual qualities to feelings to Eternal, internal equivalence of form but let's say the following …. Rav starts drawing} 1 2 3 4 5 and let's say that here the light enters and begins to and it starts to round up and it comes to here and it goes down and it starts becoming around and then it goes here and it starts becoming around so these 10 Sefirot, they are Keter. These are 10 Sefirot or Hochma. These are the 10 Sefirot of Bina. These are 10 Sefirot of Zeir Anpin and 10 Sefirot of Keter. That's it now in them there is a line. The line goes through them like this: it comes from Ein Sof it comes to the 10 Sefirot of Keter and in the 10 Sefirot of Keter, the line goes through Keter, Hochma and Bina and the remaining Sefirot of the line. They are between the circles. This is Hessed, Gevura, Tifferet, Netzach Hod, Yesod and Malchut these are 7. This 3 it turns out that the seven sefirot of straightness Keter, Hochma and Bina according to their character they are closer to the 10 Sefirot of the circles and the seven Sefirot of straightness the seven Sefirot of straightness they are outside of the circles their nature is not to like the circles and that's why the line is arranged that way.

4. S. (09:32) The upper 3 Sefirot the line and the circles and the Seven lower Sefirot of the line in the circles. What is the difference?

R. We haven't spoken about that you can ask a thousand questions about different influences etc. we spoke only about how it is built that's it.

5. S. (09:59) What is vacant space? What is vacant space? There's a line?

R. It's vacant for corrections for the time being.

6. S. (10:15) About the vacant space it says that the seven Sefirot of straightness, what occupies the vacant space?

R. That's what we're going to read about now go ahead.

Item 100 (10:55) “We must be very careful …”

7. R. That's why I don't really want to illustrate this.

8. R. (14:11) Yes, meaning every time we can see the connection and the difference 2 between the circles and the Yosher and they are like Ein Sof and straightness is no longer Ein Sof it comes down in his degree according to the laws of straightness to the extent there is connection between the Creator and the created being. Circles are not yet a connection between the Creator and the created beings but it is the relation the attitude of the created being to the Creator

9. S. (14:54) I still don't understand how the circles can receive light through the line. They are too different in essence, one is through restriction and one is without anything its equal so how can light go through from one to the other it's not clear?

R. Circles are vessels that have not yet been restricted, circles are vessels that are right before the restriction. Let's explain it this way, it's easier. All of the actions of the Creator towards the created beings go through the circles. The Creator awakens us through the circles, it is called general providence, and we need to respond to him in order to this connection with him and we do that in a line we do not have vessels of circles that's vessels of circles are outside of us and it turns out that the connection between the Creator and the created beings for the vessels that he creates in order to connect to us on the line and they are vessels of circles that's from his side and to connect to us are the vessels of straightness. That's why the first three Sefirot, Keter, Hochma and Bina are still related to the Creator no restrictions, no limitations the 7 lower Sefirot of Hessed, Gevura, Tifferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod and Malchut they already act out of a limitation. And that is why they are below the circles they cannot connect to the circles. In them the limitations of the created being are felt so even don't look at any diagram there are qualities in circles and qualities in lines that can be together. Even though it's straightness in Keter, Hochma and Bina of straightness and there are laws, forces like in the circles he still does not feel himself limited. Straightness has not yet limited and that's why it can be between circles and not only between circles that it is when the light goes through it and fulfills the circles because after the restriction the line becomes a line of fulfillment. Through which the light fills the circles set the light comes through Keter, Hochma and Bina and fills the 10 Sefirot of circles because it's Keter Hochma and Bina of straightness, they are in the same qualities of circles. However the vessels of straightness of Zeir Anpin and Malchut in order to be more precise the ZAT of Bina 7 lower of Bina they belong and the Keter no longer can be related belonging to ZAT of Bina cannot be related to the 10 Sefirot of the circles in anyway and that is why they are below the circles. This is how we learn about the connection between them and this is how we see later on learn in what way the circle is fulfilled and in what way the straightness is fulfilled that it gives livelihood in fulfillment for all of the circles and done till the end of correction.

10. S. (19:29) Where does the system store all of the records that we always talk about and where are they kept?

R. In the vessels themselves there is no other place we have only light and vessels and the vessel is made of many millions of Reshimot and degrees and what it had and what it will have even if it is all within the vessel it's just not been revealed due to lack of the influence of the light upon it.

11. S. (20:16) Maybe, I don't understand but I think we're talking about the same thing in a different way. First we said the first 3 lines are lines then we said they are circles same with the lower 7 first line then circles?

R. First of all, the fact that you don't understand is not a problem. It's not the wise that learns and gets a little illumination from above that will build our vessels of bestowal, and then you'll understand but before that it is considered wise at night. Meaning the light does not yet shine on him but it is speaking as if he's wise as if he understands, so such people we don't yet need. So let us reveal the spirituality first, then we can talk about it now all of our study is as a remedy that we want from that for the draw the light that reforms to shine upon us that we will feel what happens and from that feeling will be able to talk, that is what is important to us, that is what we need to yearn for to feel. That is the goal.

12. S. (21:50) You said that the Creator relates to us through the circles, it turns out that this connection is through the first three Sefirot?

R. There is nothing more than circles and straightness that the three separate of straightness belong to the 10 Sefirot of circles

Item 200 (22:41 - 27:47) The Circle of Hochma of Adam Kadmon and the Circle of Bina of Adam Kadmon.

13 S. (27:49) In what vessels do we feel the circles?

R. What a question. How can you feel the circles because they are opposite from you. You examine everything and feel and measure only according to your will to receive, what is more and what is less. Circles isn't a measurement of more and less it's a circle, it has no border it has no limit there's no right no l no left no up no down, they are entirely in bestowal. In general, in full. How can you feel these circles if you are opposite them? For you everything is measured according to your small ego.

S. So how do you understand it after all?

R. You can't understand anything in the study of the 10 sefirot, you can only use it as a remedy. The fact that you study will help you acquire these vessels, these qualities and then according to the qualities that you acquire, accordingly you will begin to reveal the different phenomena and from revealing it you will also discover the connections between them, the laws in them. That is the only way you will be able to understand and no other way. Our world you feel and from that feeling you know what is going on here. The spiritual World until you won't feel it, until you feel it in such a way that you will understand what is going on here, then you don’t have attainment. It is as simple as that and that’s why we need to study only for attainment, that it will be clear to us and will be able to attain it and see it and that's the matter here, that's what we need.

14. S. (30:15) What is the fear of Malchut?

R. It's the limitations of Malchut.

Item 400 (30:50 - 33:49) The first World, Emanated after the Restriction is called the world of Adam Kadmon, it is also called the world of Keter...

15. R. Of course it will be explained further in its place, the entire study of the 10 Sefirot speaks of this and how to expand in the 10 Sefirot, what it does there, how it responds through the light, through the screens, the Reshimot- through the records, it only explains of the 10 Sefirot, we have no more than that.

16. S. (34:15) Is there a difference between asking for the reforming light and thanking the Creator for the reforming light?

R. Of course these are two different things. Either I asked for the light or I am grateful to the Creator for the light meaning I have already received it, I already know what it does to me. That is gratitude. If I ask for the light, meaning I have a desire for it not a sensation for fulfillment and gratitude but I lack a deficiency and I reach out to the Creator for him to do it, there's a big difference between the complete state and the incomplete state. That specifically in an incomplete state, I might even be closer to the Creator because I asked of him, I demand from him. The Creator enjoys our request. Please remember this. The Creator wants us to ask. He enjoys the fact that we ask. He enjoys the fact that we are constantly turning to Him wanting and wanting Him to do it to us. He enjoys it because He has everything, not that he's lacking something and He doesn't get tired of our requests as we do. But the force of bestowal is in an absolute force of bestowal, so it doesn't need anything from us other than to ask. Ask. Why did you not ask? That we need to scrutinize our requests in order for them to be as precise, direct and internally powerful as possible and then the Creator will be even more grateful he is happy from our request and don't you forget that. I truly, how can I say, I ask of you is to constantly try to be in a request to Him without letting go like babies that are constantly wanting their mother more and more all of the time. This is how we see them after they are born but a baby that's still an embryo inside the mother is constantly in a request constantly in a deficiency more and more and he connects to the mother and ongoing without any stop and that is how an embryo behaves. The more he grows after he is born, then there becomes pauses between the prayers between the request but still nevertheless the Creator enjoys only the request, the prayer so try, try and give him contentment only from asking.

17. S. (37:54) A while ago you said that the general providence works towards us through the circles. What does general providence mean?

R. Humanity is divided into two groups one group is the Kabbalists who want to relate to the Creator through the line, the intention, the prayer, the request and for humanity. Besides the Kabbalists who don't know who to relate to, how to ask. Humanity is closer to the circles so for them there is no good and bad, up and down in a spiritual sense. The Kabbalists are more connected to the line. So in terms of proximity to the Creator, humanity is closer to the Creator because they are the circles. Because there is nothing there, they are as if included in the Creator behaving exactly as the Creator guides them and the Kabbalists know they are already in a line. They want to relate to the Creator in ways of their own. They are already in a relationship between them in the Creator and that is called the line and there is a guidance a providence that works towards that towards the Kabbalist. The Creator relates to them in a deliberate manner through the line and towards humanity He relates in a round manner as a circle. That is his attitude towards them in a general way. What else to say, I don't have anything else to say, we are also coming close to concluding.

18. S. (40:19) This lesson is unprecedented and I wrote your answer to a student. I want to connect with him when I ask for something from my 10. It turns out that my request is a condition to reaching adhesion to him?

R. Always be in prayer.

S. What will enable me to not detach when I ask something because when I ask, it turns out that I receive something and then there is connection, well it naturally becomes not important to me. How can I not disconnect?

R. No, there is no such thing. You are going to have to disconnect from the Creator and reconnect anew. Each time again and again, day and night, day and night, there are these cessations.

19. S. (41:29) Is it correct to say that the Circles of Wisdom are formed by the straight line of the Crown?

R. Yes, we will learn about it soon.

20. S. (41:51) Why is it that sometimes in the lesson you feel that you understand the materials and then the mind steps into play and it disappears like a spark that turns out?

R. You don't need to understand any wisdom, you only learn as a remedy that it will bring you close to the Creator. A sensation of the Creator, not intellect so what you want to hold in your mind will ultimately go away because the Creator wants to you to attain him in a common sense, in a sense that is shared with him and that is to the extent you can bestow and to that extent you will connect to him and feel him and study him.

S. These moments extend more from a certain point?

R. Yes of course that's how it will be.

21. S. (43:17) You said the Creator enjoys our request and the more internal the better, what does it mean an internal request?

R. The closer it is to bestowal.

22. S. (43:42) The root is called Keter since it’s not clothed in the vessels of the Emanator. Is Keter part of the 10 Sefirot or is it outside?

R. No, you're asking correctly the Keter even though it's inside of the created being it is a representative of the Creator there.

S. So do we need to attain it?

R. We do need to attain it, yes.

23. S. (44:11) About the fact that the Creator enjoys our scrutinized request. That's how you said it. After the lesson we're going to write a prayer in the 10, all the friends will. Are there any other directions on how to do it correctly in the current conditions?

R. I don't know this is something you all need to clarify. What do you want? I don't have any recommendations. But everyone should open his heart and discover what is most important. What is most important to him and then ask for that.

S. Each one says that, but how to do a mutual prayer of the 10?

R. Our inclinations our desires, what we can have, we are not different from each other in that regard. If you're talking about the spiritual plea then there is nothing in any of us that is really different from one to the other, no. Let's say we don't exist in this world, we are dead, okay, It is said that The Dead are Free. The dead are free, so what do you want? Say then, what do you want, go ahead.

S. I didn't get it. I want to come closer to the Creator from the 10?

R. That's the prayer. You're not asking for anything in this world because this world is an imaginary world, it’s given to us in order to confuse us but if you want to get rid of this confusion and above it, and start asking, then what will you ask? Then I have no choice, I need a vessel to discover the Creator in it and feel adhesion with him and that is my whole spiritual life, that there is no other life, the true life is only there. So this world disappears and all I have left is my connection in the vessel called a 10. It could be the whole of humanity. Who knows how many souls, other things and they are all in adhesion with the Creator and that's what I pray for, that's what I ask for. Let's put together such a prayer and be together.
