Part 2:
Everything is Obtained by the Power of Prayer - Selected Excerpts from the Sources. #16
Reading Item #16 (00:22)
1. S. (02:12) Yesterday, I felt a huge desire from the entire Kli for prayer. It was like a great gift from the Creator. How not to lose the mutual desire?
R. By the concern that you are concerned about not losing your deficiency but only increasing it all the time because in spirituality there is nothing in the next moment that already happened in the previous moment, it always goes either up or down so make sure it develops further and further then and you won't lose it.
2. S. (03:01) Yesterday afternoon, friends from the whole world Kli gathered. It started as a prayer for Monya that is sick and that continued to all the sick friends and suddenly the war came, so it became this big prayer for the peace of the world. It was very special. Hundreds of friends of the world Kli connected. We read, There is None Else Besides Him together and we participated in a mutual prayer where each one added a sentence. I wanted to ask you, what do you think of such a format? What if we did that daily or every few days? Do you see a benefit in such a state we are in today? Maybe it will strengthen us.
R. We see that Kabbalists did determine that a person has to pray in a daily fashion, and this is something that it was then embraced by all the religions and faiths that people are praying in their style and language. These things exist in the whole, in the public and the foundation of it a person who is drawn to the connection with the Creator will discover his desire in dialogue with the Creator, in addressing the Creator in his own way, words and time. But then it was accepted in a more routine kind of way. Therefore, try, try to do it this way, try the other way but every time you have an opportunity to connect try to do it because that will certainly work for the better, even if it's just a portion of a big group.
S. Just to understand more concretely. Usually we gather a few times a day each and every ten within itself, is there a place for connection between a few tens or many friends in the world Kli for reading together?
R. Yes, yes those who have an opportunity to come together to read an article to do something similar to what you did yesterday, yes. Also, what you did yesterday was a good, beautiful, powerful action and let's hope that we all benefit from that and all humanity.
S. I wanted to say that we prepared a package of sources like the friend from Kiev, but we are working on the translations and at the end of the lesson we will send it to everyone.
R. Excellent, don't forget to send me one as well.
Item #17 (10:01) RABASH, Letter No. 65
3. S. (11:38) We read now, it says that the Torah only takes place if he annuls towards it, and it says that there's something called a complete prayer. Is there a connection between those two things? First of all, what does it mean that he wants to bring himself to death to the Torah?
R. On your egoistic will to receive, on your intention to receive for yourself.
S. How do I come to this complete annulment about which he is talking?
R. You are left with the will to receive that has no egoistic part and then you can already give it for serving the others and through the love of the others through the love of the Creator. That is how you reach adhesion with the Creator.
S. Then he says that as a result of that we have a complete prayer about which we are talking. What is a complete prayer?
R. Complete means that all my bones will testify. That all your desires and all your thoughts will be connected through all the world to the Creator.
S. Clearly, I don't have that now, so how will the prayer be received any way?
R. It will, even though you cannot do it right now it is accepted. The Creator will take care of it, just like babies, youngsters they're connected in such a way, and they will receive.
S. Is that thanks to the amount of people?
R. It is thanks to the Creator. The amount of people here doesn't really.
S. Because you said in the beginning, in the morning because we are a big group here there is an influence on the Creator. What do you mean?
R. That is what I meant, like yesterday we have one friend, he is a veteran here. Emmanuel, he's sick and his group his ten was concerned what they could do to ease his state, They advertised, they told everyone his state all the friends, outside of the ten and everyone together awakened and connected and eventually there were 400, over 400 people that we're all connected and talked about the connection and the necessity to connect and prayed together to ease his state. According to this example, I recommend let's get around-the-clock or wherever you want in the world. Let's pray. A prayer that will help all those places in the world that are at war and by this causing great sorrow to all people, especially women and children that are included in all the states of stress that we will pray that it will stop, that it will end in a nice way for everyone's benefit.
S. How do you approach to actually do it?
R. Pray it is a desire in the heart. I want it to end.
S. Do you mean around the globe we should have tens that each one is praying?
R. Yes, you can do that too, very nice. You see you know more about this than me. That's your profession. To pray? Not to pray to organize people, to some kind of general action, so here try to at least do something for Bnei Baruch at one point.
S. I would love to.
R. Good, go ahead.
S. Ok, I will talk to Dudi.
R. We went with you once to Bulgaria or Romania?
S. We were a small group who went to Bulgaria with the children, is that what you mean?
R. And the children prayed?
R. There was a congress and I remember that you were organizing the people to stand and sing there. It was awakening and I understand you are close to that place, so you feel it. Be close to the whole world.
S. Very well with God’s help. Thank you.
4. S. (17:23) I want to thank the prayers with my friends, PT 52 and 21 for the activity yesterday which gave a lot of strength. How do we move it from potential to actual? Does that have to do with my desire or a different desire that is not mine?
R. It doesn't really matter. We are all in the nucleus of the world, just like fruit and a seed inside. We are like a seed in the nucleus of the world. If we somehow do actions, mutual actions the more we can, by these we will be warming up the whole world. We will be causing the whole world to be closer to the Creator. On one hand, we are further away from the Creator because the world is between us and the Creator. On other hand, when we think of the world and pray for it's good, by that we bring ourselves closer to the world, to the Creator. Then the Creator can bestow all the coarseness of the world, specifically with our help. This is how we also connect, correct with the world together, so let's try and do these actions. It is very beneficial. It helps more than anything else, because it comes in according to the way that we come closer to the Creator. He awakens the world, and we respond to it.
5. S. (19:21) If we pray to the Creator for a friend who is sick and the friend gets well or a place where there's war and then there is peace there, why is that considered a correction?
R I don't know I'm not going into philosophy.
S. I just don't understand?
R. I'm talking about what we must do on our behalf and whatever comes out and the Creator's calculations that's not nice. Is not good if we start asking about it.
S. The question is not about the Creator's action, the Creator is the Creator, present in the state and why do I have to pray for the opposite state?
R. He is making you pray and correct the world. The Creator awakens I created the evil inclination. The Creator awakens bad things in the world except for bad he doesn't do anything. All the good things have to come only with our plea.
S. Causing another friend to be sick, does that mean that He created the evil inclination?
R. That's one of the phenomena of the evil inclination. We have to see it. You're not listening to what I am saying. We have to pray for each and every one and to feel that all it all came for us that we will pray and ask for him to heal, for us to come closer upon the Creator's awakening.
6. S. (21:17) We learn that prayer has to start from gratitude and to bless for the bad as we bless for the good. Now in states of crisis we cannot see the result as good so in that state do, we need to be thankful or what?
R. No, there is a difference between "general providence'' and 'private providence'. In private providence the person has to say that everything that is revealed is mercy revealed or covered. In general providence, we cannot say that because here our will to receive is involved from me towards the others. I can't say that as I do towards myself. For myself I can say whatever happens I deserve, it brought me to correction. Now I need to do more actions and corrections and that is it. But in general, of the world or the nations or the group I cannot say that because it's not my own exactly. That's why I have to behave in a different way to a general manner.
7. S. (22:45) In the excerpt we read he differentiates between the state where a person decides he wants to completely annul and then he asks of the Creator. What is that difference between the scrutiny of the prayer and raising the prayer?
R. There is scrutiny and then there is action. Yes, let's keep going.
Item #18 (23:19) RABASH, Letter No. 6 (Twice)
8. S. (26:02) There is a matter here that the Creator will help him, so the body will agree to nullify himself?
R. Of course, or that he restricts himself or even in order to bestow. The will to receive is called the Angel of death that becomes the Holy Angel.
S. What is the difference between, a person says he is willing to annul himself and the force the Creator gives, what kind of force?
R. Light.
S. The will to receive surrenders under the light?
R. The will to receive surrenders under the light gradually, slowly and by that reaches corrections.
S. Specifically when the light appears, the will to receive surrenders?
R. Yes because the light creates everything, builds everything, corrects everything. The light also holds the will to receive through all kinds of forms whether negative or positive, it all depends on the light.
S. And this relationship between the will to receive on the light and then build a screen?
R. Yes, also the screen is built by the light. You have nothing else but the light which is the presence of the Creator that is more or less revealed, and the will to receive that was created by the light and is completely under its control. If so, we are under the complete control of the Creator and we have an ability to awaken Him to take care of us in a special way and that's our freedom of choice and that is what we must do.
S. Is there a difference between the body agreeing to enslave itself and annulling oneself?
R. Annulling is something different than enslaving, enslaving is much more. To annul myself meaning, I want to annul my ego from being in order to receive from the calculations of myself. I want them to annul and then I reach a zero. Then I want to really enslave it, that my whole will to receive reawakens in me and more and more and more, I turn it in order to bestow. Meaning, there's work in lowering our will to receive to zero, then I already start to raise it in order to bestow.
S. The will to receive feels that it’s working in a good way for itself? What's happening here?
R. What happens is I take what we say, the burden of the Kingdom of Heaven upon myself, the control of the Creator that obligates me to annul my will to receive, even invert it in order to bestow. It's two parts I have on the path of correction.
S. The will to receive becomes a supporter of the process?
R. It never supports till the end of the corrections, until Gmar Tikkun. The part that is corrected, in somewhat it does support. That is called the right side. And the part that isn’t in it yet, is called the left side and every time I need to work in between the two. That’s what is revealed from the system, and we need to work with it.
9. S. (29:52) Where does my desire to receive appear? I thought it appears in my body, in my mind but how does it turn out?
R. The will to receive is revealed in the heart of man.
Item paragraph#19 (30:21) Twice
10. S. (34:40) What is that preparation that is required for the prayer to be accepted?
R. What you just read, and the body repels this prayer, he doesn't want to come closer to the Creator because he feels that he's losing everything that his prayer cannot be accepted since he himself does not want this prayer to be accepted. He starts seeing what it means to start bestowing try and think that you’re only for the whole world and you don’t leave anything for yourself. How's that possible? You can’t exist. That's why there needs to be a preparation for prayer to accustom oneself to the prayer as though his mouth and heart are the same. How does that happen? By gradually awakening the upper light that bestows upon him and gives him a state that he can exist without his corporeal body just like that and then he is prepared for a true prayer. It’s a very special state. Let's hope that we will come close to it.
11. S. (36:39) Please say this state is necessary for the transition meaning every one of us and all of us will go through it?
R. There's no problem. What he’s stating here are all kinds of points we go through, but you can’t let go of one desire and go to another without in the middle having a point, where in between the two. Don't worry we go through it in a way that this state isn’t so severe like you see it here. Here he emphasizes it on purpose.
12. S. (37:40) In order for one’s mouth and heart to be equal in the prayer when he leaves, revokes all the pleasures and all that, does that come together?
R. Yes, of course.
13. S. (37:58) How to prepare my heart for an honest prayer?
R. To try to always think of the others, that the future of the world is in the connection between us and to prepare it, to do it in the ten in the group in the women's group, in our general vessel and in this way gradually come close to the truth.
14. S. (38:37) How to come to self-annulment if it's perceived as death?
R. In the will to receive it’s perceived as death but then we start awakening in the light through this connection specifically and we start feeling ourselves in a way that this connection is more exalted than anything we have in this world.
15. S. (39:05) It is written that a person sees that he has no way to go against nature and then a person has no other counsel but to pray to the Creator. What to do if you see that the body resists but you also don't have strength to turn to the Creator, where can you get such support?
R. The group. What is this question? I don't understand. In the group we can get the support and then turn to the Creator and be adhered to him and in our request our desire for him to help and build a spiritual state above all problems the group can obligate the Creator that yes, he will perform the correction.
16. S. (39:38) How to build prayer correctly so it doesn’t sound as a disagreement with the rule of the Creator?
R. A complete prayer means that from the bottom of my heart with my friends I want to be connected to the Creator and give him in our mutual heart a place where he can dwell.
17. S. (40:30) What does it mean to pray in mercy, what’s the connection that is required here?
R. If we open the heart to each one or to the others and we want to connect in the heart in one heart, that's called that we're opening in mercy.
18. S. (40:42) What’s the difference between prayer and prayer before a prayer?
R. Prayer before a prayer aims us to the true request which is already a prayer.
19. S. (41:06) How to pray together with the whole world Kli even when we are physically separate?
R. It doesn’t matter whether we’re physically together or not, the main thing is our desires, that we understand one another and we want to be connected in order to raise our deficiencies to the Creator. The Creator wants us to ask that's why He created this reality with the deficiency. We have to discover every time from the entire reality parts of that deficiency and to raise it to the Creator to correct and fill and in this way one after the others in little portions and little parts we reach a state where we all or reality in those little parts reaches the whole state where the Creator fills everything.
20. S. (42:06) How do I attain the power from the ten to pray stronger and more frequently?
R. We start from envy, lust, and honor where we speak between us and use our egoistic desires because they awaken us to be together as much as possible and learn from others and afterwards by the light that reforms.
21. R. (42:38) Today we have had a special lesson. Let's hope we only have the right and good reasons for such lessons and let's hope that from tomorrow we will already come to a regular order. For now let's have all the best to everyone, peace on earth, and all earth dwellers and that we'll come close between us and the Creator that He will shine upon us his light and fill us, connect us to one vessel of the Adam, the first Adam, Adam HaRishon, all the best and good night.
