Growing Stronger in 'There Is None Else Besides Him' - Selected Excerpts from the Sources. #17

1. Rav’s Introduction: Yes, we need to detect that 'There Is None Else Besides Him', that only that only He is operating on us and 'There Is None Else Besides Him' that He is called the upper force, the Creator Blessed be He. That there is a single force and all of our work is to discover Him to get closer to Him and to bring Him closer to us through our qualities this is how we can bring Him closer. The Kabbalists reveal it to us that the Creator fills the whole of reality and it only depends on how much we are ready to feel Him and this is why discovering the Creator is our work, so let's continue.

Reading 17 (01:32) “You Must Believe Above Reason...”

2. S. (02:50) What does it mean?

R. As much as you can depict this state that the Creator is Good That Does Good and fills the whole of reality and besides Him there is nothing and on top of everything that you feel in the world, bads things, scary that rejects you, repel you, truly massive things upon of all of those you just wants to discover the Creator. Which means that everything that is happening to you besides Ten0% good that does good, this is what you yourself depict this picture to yourself. Everything that is evil in the world, you are depicting this evil and in truth the whole world is full of goodness and there is only one control only rule, the Creator.

S. There is no Russian translation

R. You need to make an effort to exert. Imagine to yourself that you are in an embrace with the Creator holding onto Him really strongly like a baby holding the mother, that he does not want to separate from her, he’s afraid of falling because he will lose his life this is how it seems to him. This is how it is with the person constantly holding onto None Else Besides Him, this is the only thing he has in life. In general not only in my life but the whole world whatever I feel I only feel it with respect to this discernment of None Else Besides Him. Everything that is me from The Creator, I feel it as bad forces in the world and everything that brings me closer to the Creator, these are the good forces. I have to choose only those good forces and discover the bad forces that they are coming to me only in order for me to invert them, to change them around from forces of rejection to forces of connection.

S. no Russian translation

R. Yes, the love of friends is the bridge that connects us from all the evil and falsehood and rejection that we see in our world and it brings us closer, it passes through the abyss to the love of the Creator. Because in our world there are means by which to bring us from our ego to the love of the Creator, it is the complete opposite from our ego, only the love of friends. If I use it in the right way then I succeed and by this I draw the reforming light and it changes my qualities and I reach the love of the Creator.

3. S. (07:39) First of all there is no translation from Russian to Hebrew so we did not understand anything from the questions before?

R. There is a malfunction from, maybe questions from the study hall.

4. S. (08:31) On one hand I need to work above reason, on the other hand I need to feel it in my organs. How does it fit together above reason but to feel it in my organs?

R. This is a good question. We need to try to accept together faith In the Creator that He Is Good That Does Good and He organizes everything and everything comes from Him and everything is only Him upon the greatest disturbances. As it is written, even if a sharp sword is lying on his throat, do no despair from mercy. This means that in the toughest moments he must not become separated from faith In The Creator, that only the Creator does it and it only comes only from Him and 'There Is None Else Besides Him', and as a result of his efforts he'll discover that indeed the Creator fills everything, the whole world.

5. S. (09:53) How can I see through the friends the Creator that 'There Is None Else Besides Him'?

R. It feels to us as a result of the connection of the friends. This is why it says, ‘From the Love of the Created Beings to the Love of the Creator.’

Reading 18. (11:00) “Everyone Believes In Private Providence...” Twice

6. S. (14:20) This first sentence is not clear, how can you be adhered to private Providence but not to be adhered to it?

R. I can say that yes, I believe this but I do not act practically according to that, I do not feel that this is actually how it is in my life.

7. S. (14:52) He speaks about in this letter the true servants of the Creator. How can we describe them?

R. He is giving us a clear answer here that anyone who wants to discover the Creator as the force that actually, practically works on him from all sides and from all kinds of means, from all kinds of possibilities and actions. If a person only wants that, to be in that state and he behaves in all kinds of forms that the Creator sends him which are not the Creator, but rather close and far, friends and enemies, it does not matter who and what. A person who is constantly scrutinizing what it is that he feels in the world and how much he wants to ascribe it all to the Creator to ‘'There Is None Else Besides Him',’ this person is truly the servant of the Creator. He is operating to discover the Creator in the best and clearest form, the most correct and best form.

8. S. (16:53) There is a fear regarding faith above reason and understanding that everything is coming from the Creator. It has been 26 years already, but there is constantly this fear that says, ‘Do not Trust Yourself Until your Passing Day.’ You take all of the things that comes to you from this world to scare you and you are afraid because everything comes from the Creator and he's doing it for His creation, but there is this fear that you are lying to yourself. What do you do with such things?

R. You alone cannot solve this problem, ever. A few more years will pass, 6 years 66 years, it does not matter. The solution is that you adhere to the friends as much as you are capable of and only then you begin to see how much and what exactly you are missing in order to be in adhesion with the Creator.

S. There is this process that one went through that he wasn't with the friends and suddenly the understanding and realization that he must have the friends because without that he won’t succeed. But also what if the friends when you still have this feeling that you are lying to yourself and I do not know, there is a kind of fear that is always there?

R. Sir, this is not a private lesson, try to participate like everybody else.

9. S. (18:56) What is private providence and why is this expressed in the way he is describing it here?

R. It is the Creator, this is how he wants to educate us so that we will see behind all the disturbances, specifically Him. Then all the disturbances which He operates seemingly against himself against his uniqueness, all of these disturbances, we also want to establish them to the same form of the Creator whatever we are capable of doing and like that more and more. It turns out that the more we advance, by that we discover the Creator as more and more cunning and bringing us each time into more and more disturbances. Because everything comes only from Him,’'There Is None Else Besides Him'.’ There is no other force operating in reality except for Him and all of our work is to detect the Creator's rule over and upon all the disturbances.

S. Why is it called private Providence?

R. Because it is directed to each and every person personally according to the root of his soul. Each and every person sees the world and disturbances towards adhesions and all these things, he sees them personally, in his individual feelings.

Reading 18 (21:17) “There is a Sublime Purpose for all that happens...” Twice

R. (22:47) This means that in all that in all the events wherever they are, we have to discover the unity, the unification between all of these things and us inside with the Creator. That it comes from Him, to us all of these events, and we are on the other side of it and we attribute or relate through everything to the Creator. That specifically through these events or actions, straight and opposite, contradictory, and as much as we ascribe it only to The Creator then we reach that drop of unity.

11. S. (24:50) It turns out that again we are building the Creator and together we are building this place with Him?

R. I can't understand what you are saying but apparently you are speaking correctly.

12. S. (25:15) Is there private Providence over the Ten?

R. Over a person, over the Ten, over the entire organization and over the whole of reality the whole world, in circles.

13. S. (25:44) It turns out that for anything that happens in the world there is a goal and the drop of unification. Everything that happens pushes the person to acquire the drop of unification?

R. Yes that is right. The drop of unification.

S. Nevertheless how to realize correctly the drop of unification between us and the Creator, what does it mean?

R. Through connection, how else can you reach realization of it? Only through connection between us so there is nothing that should be separating between us, there is nothing like that. Rather whatever seems to us as separating is the same evil inclination which The Creator created deliberately in order for us to discover this evil inclination and revoke it. And by us revoking it we discover the unity and the Creator with whom we are already in Unity.

S. Baal HaSulam writes here that it will be revealed through the dreadful terrors and everything?

R. Of course we cannot, each and everyone of us will have to go within, maybe also without. On the outside there are times this way and there are times that way, there are these kinds of groups and these kinds of people and sometimes within a person's life like this when he goes through wars and connections, love and hatred, nearing etc. Meaning all of these things, this is how it becomes revealed to the person and he has to go through it, and mostly among everything that he is directed towards the revelation of the drop of unification.

14. S. (28:14) In the work we are trying to pass through a narrow bridge and there is constant darkness. How can I accept that I am under His control and He is good, what determines that?

R. Only through the connection with the friends that you want to determine that indeed this is how it is and you constantly want to insist on that until you begin to discover it in practice through your effort and through the prayer to the Creator. This is the most important thing, this is all of the work of the Creator.

15. S. (29:19) What if I do not adhere to the Creator, my ‘I’ doesn’t exist, where does it disappear to?

R. I do not understand why you are thinking in that direction, where do I exist, where I do not exist? You need to constantly imagine that you're in adhesion with the Creator with all of the friends. Depict to yourself such a state such a picture and try to be constantly in it. You are bringing in philosophies, what am I who am I and there is no such thing. I exist in adhesion with the Creator, I am constantly connected with Him with the whole group, the friends are helping me to constantly hold on to that and I help everyone and I help them. This is how we exist upon all of these disturbances in our mind and in our heart which the Creator every moment is passing through us in order to strengthen us even more, as much as we are connected between us and with the Creator.

16. S. (30:55) We are always speaking about the verses on the disturbances and the troubles. Naturally some of those troubles he is looking for a solution. Once he doesn't have a solution in reality he turns to the upper force. What is the difference between them and us, what does it mean as Kabbalists we are looking for control of the Creator and any other person in stress looking for the control of the upper force?

R. The moment I see some disturbance in my life I try to attribute it to the upper Force, ‘'There Is None Else Besides Him',’ not like an ordinary person and in that I am going to solve the problem. I have a problem with the Creator's unification in my life, that everything comes from Him and indeed there is no other source for all the situations that I go through except for Him, except for the Creator.

S. I understand this, I am trying to open it up. What does it mean to if you ascribe it to the upper force? There are many people in the world who are facing troubles, they ascribe it or ask for help from the upper force. What does it mean for a Kabbalist to ascribe it to the Creator?

R. It is considered that the Kabbalist wants to feel this reason, the upper force to depict and discover that everything that he feels emerges from Him, and that he is ascribing all of these things to the Creator, all the good and all the bad. That is all, we can open this up with many words but I am afraid to philosophize about it.

S. I’ll explain why I am asking because many times in the Ten or in the society we deal with something and we face something and we are all in prayer to the upper force to help it. I am trying to refine our work, if a friend is in trouble or the group is in trouble. What is the best way to adhere to the Creator to glue to Him and to use it?

R. If you try to detect the Creator as the reason for your state, the individual state or group state, if you locate the Creator that He is the reason for it, then already you have a different relation with which to turn to Him. Why he did it, that it comes specifically from Him, what does he want to achieve by this, how you should relate to Him in whatever you feel and get from Him. All of these things they become the carrier that is holding you in your appeal to the Creator, and out of that you have a prayer, a true prayer. When you already through your response, you have a true connection with the Creator.

S. Does it always have to be related to the connection between us, should we always look for the reason?

R. Otherwise there is no Creator, otherwise you just have some imagination I would say, and not the Creator. The Creator is what we can depict between us and that is in plural, the minimum of many is two, at least that.

S. Why does it always have to come out of trouble out of disturbance out of the Abyss, can we not come to the prayer otherwise?

R. Otherwise He won’t pay attention to it. It has to be against your ego and then you will notice and pay attention that the Creator is awakening you and this disturbance will be for you as something that will promote you.

S. Meaning if we are more sensitive to the lack of connection between us, the bad connection between us, we can extract a prayer from it and not wait for something that awakens from the outside, we can change the decree seemingly?

R. Yes, with an empty place in general that there are no negative awakenings, you can start arranging things towards the Creator, yes. That He is not awakening you, He's not doing anything and you are sleepy and you do not know what to do and how to advance. With such a place, such a state you can also build an appeal to Him, yes.

17. S. (36:25) I have to come to adhesion to the Creator with my heart and my brain, but why do I have to say to the Creator, who guides the world ‘As the Good who does Good?

R. Because you want to reach the truth. What people who attained the Creator tell you is the true picture, that the Creator is ‘'There Is None Else Besides Him'’ and He Is Good That Does Good. If you attain these two conditions, it is truly considered that you have attained the Creator.

Reading # 20 (37:35) “One’s Hope Should Be That...” Twice

18. S. (40:40) I certainly relate the disturbance to the Creator but on the human level should I accept the disturbance patiently and go above it or should I commit to this matter and deal with it on a human level?

R. This is according to your forces according to your forces it’s like with a circle, when a person is in the center of the circles and he more and more and more takes upon himself the Creator's control so there are those who accept it only in a spiritual manner and there are those who already understand that this pertains to their work, their home, their internal states and so on gradually.

This is how a person brings this to himself and also there are those who already entering the work with different levels of coarseness so they can determine to what extent they want and are capable of being connected with the Creator in their ego with their egoistic coarseness more or less, then you begin working with degrees but all of the work is like when our learning about it but however it is not yet arranged for us in a way that it is through separation between the degrees of the coarseness, the intensity of the light that shines but actually this is how we are progressing towards that.

19. S. (42:44) Recognizing the adhesion in the drop of unification from the black point, is this where the person feels before he acquires a screen in the ten?

R. Let's say it is so, why is this important?

S. Simply from the answers?

R. I don't really want to answer these things so you will have them as clear answers that this is how it should be, you need to detect all of these things on your own both the question and also the answer in the order between, the questions and answers you need to detect it and you need to resolve it on your own because out of that you build the structure of your soul, the coarseness and also the screen and the light that shines on it and your prayers and in return comes the answer, the Creator's response for it. I want you to enter into this whole process so it will be alive in you.

S. After acquiring the screen in the ten a person clothes in it, getting the whole light

R. How could it be if the screen is smaller than he is at acquiring YHVH, so where from does it come that suddenly he gets the whole light, instead he gets smallest light of the soul, the light of Nefesh alone and not more than that the first, we just get the smallest light and not more than that there cannot be that we get the whole light simply in one strike.

20. S. (49:33) What is personal or private providence?

R. Personal providence is what the person discovers that the Creator relates to him specifically.

21. S. (49:44) How can we distinguish between good & bad?

R. This depends on the good and bad the person determines. Each and every person has different discernments for what is good and bad but in general we’re saying that good means nearing the Creator and bad means God forbid moving away from the Creator so to distinguish between good and bad is close to the Creator or distant from the Creator, if I insist only on that it means that I am choosing correct discernments.

22. S. (50:40) It is written that we should hate the evil inclination and this is how we correct ourselves but here it says that we should respect our good as well as bad thoughts since everything comes from the Creator. So what is the right way to determine our intention?

R. Nice. The fact that I am getting all these thoughts from above both the good and the bad, that all of it comes from the Creator in my will to receive, which the Creator also made also created, so it turns out of the Creator created the will to receive and the Creator fills the will to receive with all kinds of discernments good and bad and I only need to discern, to scrutinize it, and how to scrutinize it, according to how the Creator awakens me, He lets me one time feel good and another time feels bad, one time feel closer to the friends another time more distant from the friends and by experiencing these changing states I begin to scrutinise them.

I scrutinize them relative to what is good and bad in my feelings and my feeling is the egoistic will to receive that the Creator created from the get-go, He talks about how He created it and later I discover His attitude toward my will to receive how much He wants to teach me through it what is good and what is bad, to be above my will to receive, meaning as much as I feel good things or bad things in my will to receive and how do I discern them purposefully, meaning what is good or what is bad, and here we begin to have my own innerl work, I wish to feel good each time and that is my gold or do I nevertheless want to relate myself to attaining the spiritual goal, and then in I am in bitter sweet or truth and false and these are opposing discernments, what to do then? I need to hold on inside of me to these two systems under my control and to start arranging them so that I will always have truth and false and below it bitter and sweet.

As much as I can rise in truth and false and choose the truth despite the false and I don’t care about bitter and sweet as long as I can have the truth, then accordingly I advance toward the correction of my vessel. Where is it expressed, in direct and reflected light, in coupling of striking, if I perform a restriction and I wish to arrange above my will to receive the correct attitude to the Creator, to the upper light, it turns out that I look at it in truth and false and not according to bitter and sweet, these determinants are the main discernments and we are dealing with them until the end of correction, I’ll always have the same work but I need to constantly be accustomed to being in it.

23. S. (55:01) How to correctly respond and understand what is it that the Creator wants to tell me? When I turn to the group for support and I get no support, should I just bow my head and see their friends are great?

R. If I turn to the group and there’s no support from the group, the I do not know how to progress so my problem is that I do not have the support from the group as much as I do not support them I cannot receive support from them so it starts with my super to them so why is that because otherwise I can distinguish how they relate to me to the extent I tried to relate to the society properly to that extent I start to feel how they relate to me.

Because otherwise I am number I do not feel anything I am simply number maybe they are relating to me and they wants to help me but I am just helpless, I do not hear, I do not see why. Because I am myself not opening my census towards them and this is very important especially when there is a person who is has a small soul and he exist in the big desire to receive and he cannot get to the point where he understands that he has to relate to the society in good. Try to relate to them in artificial good he doesn’t want it but he relates to them good, artificially, and by this he gradually softens his heart and he begins to feel from them their attitude towards him. So there’s a necessity on the side of the person to start the work, that is why Kabbalists speak about it in the language of commanding, it’s a commandment, a person has to is obligated then to the extent a person accepts it and performs these actions the heart becomes soften, he begins to understand what he’s talking about.

2 4. S. (58:09) How to understand that the answer to the prayer came from the Creator and not from my ego?

R. That’s really a question but why is it important for me if I receive it from the Creator or from my ego, is my ego not from the Creator? I have to accept all those things as coming from the Creator and then ask how do I react to them? The Creator also who is sustaining my ego, who’s directing it, who’s teaching my ego to be this way, the Creator Himself.

25. S. (59:07) Is it important to get to know the specific evil or bad that is separating me from connection or from the good who does good each time?

R. Yes I need to detect that each time the evil in me separates me from the good who does good the Creator the attainment of the goal everything that is right, it might be unpleasant but it is correct.

26. S. (59:41) How to constantly expect that the Creator will shine His eyes?

R. This is easiest to solve in the connection with the friends, so if we all think this way about a person then it's easiest to accept it even if he doesn't hear it. He's impressed by this mutual excitement, impression, and then he advances to the correct understanding. Most of our decisions are correct decisions come through the group, we accept many thoughts, we receive many thoughts and desires from the ten and our problem is that we're not aware of it, we can't awaken it more and more.

If we try to awaken the friends we’ll be able to get much more from them from the tens, to receive a correct wakening both in quantity and quality and also in frequency and then we’ll advance quickly, in short we need to, I see it's a problem, it’s our problem, that we are in a transition between where we are in our spiritual work that I feel that I’m in it alone and ascribing it to the ten and being in the ten and through the ten I am connected to the Creator and I receive from the Creator also through the ten, that there is in the middle between me and the Creator the ten, until I begin to work in the with the Creator through the ten in they form of coarseness, screen, reflected light, coupling and striking, and so on and so forth, this is still ahead of us because it's something that’s hard for us to accept, to locate it, to apply it.

27. S. (01:02:07) How should a person depict that he is connected with all the friends? Depict the connection with every friend or in some general way?

R. I think in a general way with everyone all my friends are that vessel that I need to connect them together and to feel that I'm in them together and they are in me and there's no separation between us and only when we connect as much as we connect as much as we combine our corrected desires is to the connection between us accordingly we increase our vessel, our vessel is common, no other friend has a vessel of his own a friend in the ten and that's it, we're simply isolated from everyone but together between us, together, just like we are on some raft or in a boat somewhere we’re together and everything that happens to one happens to the others as well, and when we advance more and more we will feel how each and every person's destiny, the degrees of development, the forms of development. will all be related to everyone.

28. S. (01:03:54) How to obtain there's none else besides Him in adhesion with the friends in a way that the ten will have a grasp on it, a hold on it, from which we don't depart?

R. That depends on how much we truly yearn to be in that same state that this woman is asking about, how can we feel that we are interconnected, interdependent, and the attainment of our goal is possible only in the connection between us in the center of the connection between us and that we need to support one another on it so that there will be no way to run away from it, the Creator arranged it, He established everything, He brought us to this feeling that we are together, and we need to continue it until the end of correction.

29. S. (01:05:04) What does it mean so I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life?

R. That in all the moments whatever they may be we need to constantly yearn for a greater connection, for being tightly close with one another and as much as we can help each other in our thoughts to remain in adhesion and never to fall from there. This is and I sat in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, the house of the Lord is what we assemble in the correct connection between us, try to imagine it more. Ladies see it's not such a big problem, let's imagine the more I do it with my own strength and my own heart, I want everyone to feel it and for us to feel that we are in this circle and the Creator is in it.

30. S. (01:06:21) How in the feeling of the Private Providence of the Creator how to avoid pride?

R. How to do it? Only through mutual help in the group. As much as I’m ready and willing to help others help my friends and how much I am ready to receive help from them, then in this way give-and-take, we have such a connection where our ego disappears, only from this simple action I to my beloved and my beloved to me, I to the friend and my friend to me, and we if are in such actions we will feel the ego disappearing, we have such mutual relationships where there is no room for it there because whatever he needs I deliver, provide to him, and what I need he provides to me and with such relationships we completely annul to one another, we cancel the difficulties, we don't feel ourselves distant whatsoever.

31. S. (01:08:03) How will we be worthy of the drop of unification in this Congress in our hearts?

R. If we'd want to be connected between us, man and women and each one in their group of course, and in this Congress we are in various groups which should give us an awakening from within, if we wish to be this way we will rise above our ego, specifically through this action that we are taking, and in this way we'll come out of our ego. From above the reforming light shines on us from below the Creator awakens us with all kinds of discernment or disturbances I would say, and using these two forces, we are between us between them. The greater will to receive is revealed to us, so the greater desire to bestow awakens and us and we can draw to us if we're together and in this way we will be both in a greater will to receive and a greater will to bestow or a bigger screen. It turns out that in this way we are growing our vessel both in coarseness and the force of restriction and the hardness of the screen, and will be able to receive the upper light and this is the meaning of the revelation of the Creator to the created being.

32. S. (01:Ten:18) After a long break many friends participate or will participate physically in the Congress. What should we focus on during the Congress, so we don't delve into the vanities of this world?

R. I don't need to teach them that, how to have each and every one should look after themselves, not to get confused by where they're at. Right now we need to have that intention of that desire for the Congress, that I'm coming to the Congress and I connect to the virtual Congress, it doesn't matter how but all in order to connect with the friends. I know them better or less, we'll have such exercises in this Congress, but the important thing is for me to know that my connection determines how much I will advance toward spirituality only this. Only through our connection.

33. S. (01:12:13) The question is when we when we reach the feeling the Creator is behind everything, this state stays with me disappears or will be deeper?

R. It's constantly in the best possible state for your advancement each and every person because he says that 'There Is None Else Besides Him'. I'm talking about our friends, what does it point to, that each and every moment I receive from the Creator the most accurate, the most correct state for my advancement. How do I react to it? That's my work in the group, in understanding and connection but from the get-go, I accept each and every friend from coming from the Creator and it comes to me in the best possible way, such an optimal way for me to advance in the right direction and in the right path.

34. S. (01:13:48) Did I understand correctly that you don't want to give us precise answers so that we would be able to find the answers by ourselves through prayer?

R. Yes and no, I give clear answers where you need them in order to advance, and I give you less than clear answers when you need to scrutinize them so it will be clear to you what you will be lacking.

35. S. (01:14:35) no translation

R. Don't worry the Creator will nevertheless, He is nevertheless in control, He is correcting us each and every movement. If we make a mistake, he corrects us, if we advance correctly he places another obstacle before us. We constantly need to remember that we are under the control of the Creator and that is why we need to try to be in adhesion to Him and bring my entire Ten into it and that's what we need to think about. I need to imagine myself each and every moment how much I can grab the friends, raise them and together we are inside the Creator. That is the most correct state, the most optimal state.

36. S. (16:05) It turns out that there is a good state in the Ten, let's say a good spirits of a person who can justify the Creator and then there is not such a good state and in the most extreme state that I need to learn how to justify the Creator so I'll be complete. Kabbalists write a lot of times, the sword is on his throat or a person is sentenced to death, so that's the most extreme state that you need to justify?

R. We'll get to it and we will see, for the time being, we should follow what we have. Now let's try to justify the Creator each and every moment through our lives.

37. S. (01:17:26) We have questions about the inner connection between the Ten I'm in right now and how to work during the Congress. The first question you said we should try on this weekend and then we will see how we feel, how we are advancing how we felt, so what exactly do we have to measure, what do we have to check towards myself during the incorporation with the friends in the ten and in the different rooms and in the Congresses?

R. Incorporation and there is nothing else, the whole convention is about this integration between us. We need to try to be connected between us such that nevertheless, we will obligate the one unique and special force that 'There Is None Else Besides Him', to be revealed between us. We need to prepare the connection between us in such a manner that it will be suitable for the quality of the Creator. The good that does good for all, None Else Besides Him, bestowing to everyone that is what we need to prepare, a field like that between us that is called the field and which the Creator has blessed. If we try to build this form of relation, this connection between us, and it all depends on our hearts. Because then we'll be able to hunt for the Creator there, to feel Him, to locate Him, and from that point onwards will be connected with Him.

38. S. (01:19:35) What is the connection between this is my personal work and what does it matter if I'm sitting with Ten friends here or tomorrow I'm going to sit with another Ten friends?

R. In truth it's not that important, only that we begin that we have habits we have a feeling that I have to feel, I understand these friends more and those friends less. The fact that during this convention we will connect with new friends that we are not accustomed to being together in a Ten with, then this could make things good to awaken us. I don't need to just come like this and passively be in it. I must try to be with them heart and soul as much as possible in such a way that there is nothing that differentiates between us. We fell to a certain state and now we are playing in it as much as possible. Besides that, we need from this convention onwards to maybe see after it whether we should start talking about more and more connected forms of connection between us. Ten with Ten and different Tens excetera in order to bestow upon one another in a more effective way and more beneficial way.

S. The question that comes mainly from the women there is like a fear to leave the connection I have now where I feel confident and incorporate with new people that I don't really have a connection with but to enter some room with them. In such a case there's friends that we're afraid that won't even go to the rooms, that they'll go somewhere else and not even go into a Ten. Should the Ten support such a friend or go into such a room the whole Ten together? Or still to encourage her to go into a random room?

R. Listen women, I think we all want to reveal the Creator and there is a condition here, to be connected with the friends in a good and nice way to the extent in which the essence of connection between us will be suitable for the revelation of the Creator. It's something very exalted where I need to work here in soul devotion and I'm willing to give my friends only in order to feel that the Creator is between us that is my calibration, the tuning of my instrument, but otherwise I don't feel that the Creator is revealed in my vessel.

I need to connect with as many friends as possible in such a way that I am giving myself to them. At first I'm only doing it in my own personal restriction, and afterwards in all kinds of ways and tendencies. It's not important where I enter the lesson, every lesson we are in a different Society and a different group so I need to try in this way that I am right now to be in heart and soul with those that I am with and give it as much as possible and to locate as much as possible that state in which we are all in one heart. What will happen will happen, it all depends on me, it all depends on me. Let us all, each of us, exit our own holes, our own burrows and just connect both men and women, try to do this. These are very good exercises where there is no distance or calculations between us but just to give myself to someone that is just a little outside of me. Try. Accordingly the Creator will enter your heart.

S. Today every Ten has a WhatsApp and we make sure that friends wake up for the lesson and if not we check each friend individually. During the Congress do we still have to be concerned about friends on our contant, or not to take that into consideration and only work where I am? Or should we still make sure the friends are in the last season and they are participating?

R. I don't know what to say, on one hand it's good that we're nevertheless concerned, on the other hand how much will this cause me to be connected to my Ten and not able to be devoted to this temporary random new Ten where I'm supposed to be adhered to it in one heart there. We need to understand that these exercises bring us closer to true corrections where as in our times we are in the last generation, therefore we must do these exercises.

Hence, at first I kind of rejected them or delayed them but now I think it's right that we do them and I also think we need to go through such states. But again I'm saying, go through them seriously because this is already truly something that really belongs to the last generation where we all come to connection between us, all and each establishes within himself and the other Tens that are seemingly random. And as long as we have a place where I can attribute myself to and identify the Creator there. If it's like this or that it doesn't matter, in any place I will be able to find the vessel to reveal the Creator and all kinds of new ways.

S. (01:27:07) If you have questions from around the world or things are not clear, you can write to us at boardworldkli. And I am inviting friends from around the world, if you have more questions please ask about the work this weekend in the Tens.

39. S. (01:27:35) When we listen and pay attention, could you tell us what a Kabbalist feels, what is a friend, what are friends? In your feelings what can we acquire and really understand on going through a Congress with friends?

R. A friend is called a part of the Partzuf of my soul. We have a common soul called a Partzuf in the Ten and a friend is called the part of that soul, a special quality. That's what it is and that's how I need to relate to him. Not according to his physical character or his corporeal attributes. We will discover all of these other things and we will see that it's the Creator who's arranging these things for us. It seems to us like he's not doing it or that we did it and we connected by chance this way or that, it's not true. It's all following from behind the scenes, it was already created this way from the beginning of creation I would say.

40. S. (01:29:02) When we speak about giving contentment to the Creator can we scrutinize the stages and the overcoming in the strengthening of equivalence of form?

R. Yes we will see this in practice.

41. S. (01:29:33) When I sit with a new Ten in the Congress do I have to see myself as a representative of my own Ten or I'm not in my not thinking of them and all and trying to melt with the new Ten in front of me?

R. It's the second option here you're disconnecting yourself from your Ten and are connected fully in this random Ten that you're in this lesson here right now. It doesn't matter to you whether it's just a lesson or not, because all our states and spirituality will be similar to that state in which each time a person will feel himself in a new state, seemingly in a new Ten. And each time the world will be new and the Creator will be new as well, everything will be in a non-stop renewal. Therefore I agree to the fact that we are doing an exercise here in connection to new Tens. Nevertheless it's a small trial and we will see.

S. How should we bring the right inspiration from the other Tens to our own Ten?

R. We don't need to talk about that whatsoever, we are including ourselves in these four lessons in these random tens, and after that we are returning to our Ten. When we enter the random Ten we are entering with all of our heart and all of our soul. Because what does it matter between the tens what, that I don't see the faces that I'm used to? The people within are always always different, so why is it important to me?

My Ten could be changing from one moment to the next in a much more, much more in a way that which I see in different foreign Tens and I am incorporated also. I don't even discern that because the faces I'm used to kind of blur the innovations I'm supposed to feel. Therefore I come to a new Ten, I'm included with them as much as possible heart and soul, that's the Ten that I need to integrate in it until I come now to the end of correction. Not for two hours but until the end of correction, this way each time to a new Ten. It would be good if I also feel with my Ten my permanent Ten that I'm each time in a new Ten.

S. It's an opportunity to incorporate in the Creator?

R. Certainly, what's my Ten, it's a Ten that's connected in such a way that will be suitable for the Creator to be revealed in.

41. S. (01:33:33) The random Ten to connect to at Congress, they have to be made of friends that are active in the world vessel now or could it be new friends or friends that used to be that are not now?

R. I don't know I'm not associated with the building of the tens that you can ask the management maybe. I don’t belong to that.

S. We encouraged friends in physical gatherings to invite friends who got distance themselves and it's a great opportunity to bring them closer. A lot of friends really said that they will come because they were invited with great warmth and in that way we will recommend to embrace them into society, that they will feel at home and feel wanted, to include them in the tens that we are sitting in and it's a great opportunity like you explained before to work internally towards those friends. Maybe then they can really come back to a spiritual path and I think it's a great opportunity.

42. S. (01:35:17) What does it mean to incorporate into the Ten until the end of correction, that supposedly now we're going to perform the end of correction.

R. You have to feel in your work and your Ten that you are now in a connection in the final connection, the greatest of all, the most unique and special within which you complete your correction in your connection with the Ten, to the extent that the Creator is revealed fully. Such a powerful connection that the Creator is revealed and in a complete manner, in all the vessels and the sub vessels and the sub sub vessels, that is how He is revealed. Then your action will be called even though it is an individual personal one, it will still be called whole.

S. The most effort in corporation?

R. If it's less than maximum it's not considered. That is how it is in spirituality.

43. S. (01:36:39) About the Congress, if in our Ten it is very hard to take the gloves off. Maybe with the new friends, we can do that exercise, to go straight in with no gloves on and come as close as we can towards one another and then get some experience to bring back to our constant Ten and if so, how to do it? Without getting to know each other or all kinds of games just to go into business?

R. We receive a unified system from one teacher, from the books, from the common study. There's a difference with how much each one of us understands or feels and in what measure each one is. Actually it is all cooked within our general vessel from long ago, therefore you can enter in any society in the way that you reveal your heart and disclose in your heart to them and don't want to bother, but rather to participate and incorporate, you can understand them and be with them and with certainty they will be with that way to you. It was such a feeling of openness, each of you comes to the random Tens.

44. S. (01:38:35) If I mix randomly in Tens, what's the difference between the state we had before Tens that we used to come and study together in Congresses to a state of a random Tens?

R. I don't know, again just like what I said yesterday in the lesson as well, that I am not experienced in the state that we are going through. But I am certain that you will be able to take out of this all kinds of thoughts, results that will help you be even more connected. And let's hope that after this convention we will already be truly different.

45. S. (01:40:09) Why if I love the friends I raise myself above my nature, why loving the friends, I exit from my corporeal boundaries?

R. You're asking me about that? How can you resemble the Creator, tell me? Whereas He is the manner of love and the Good that does Good and you are the opposite of that, self-love. How can you move from self-love to resembling the Creator? You were given in between, for you to perform certain exercises in love of others and through love of others you come to the love of the Creator. Am I not clear enough?

46. S. (01:41:31) I wanted to ask about the Arvut. There is an emotional Arvut and a spiritual Arvut, so emotionally I understand we need the Creator we need to do it. What about corporeal Arvut between us?

R. I don't know what corporeal Arvut is.

S. Let's say there is a Congress and not everybody signed in. Like 80% did and the 20% always sign up at the last second, so this corporeal Arvut, is that solution also buy a plea to the Creator or just to give importance?

R. Maybe ask again.

S. I'll ask through an example. Let's say emotional or spiritual Arvut it's clear to me that we have to reach a prayer to the Creator for this Arvut to take place. But for corporeal examples let's say registering for the Congress, do I need to turn to the Creator for it to happen or only from a demand from the friends, one from the other to create that feeling of Arvut that we are all entering together?

R. The prayer for the Creator won't help you if you don't prepare yourselves accordingly in the connection between you.

S. This connection between us is corporeal, let's say preparation for the Congress, so this corporeal connection, except for displaying my Arvut for the Ten, I show them that I registered. What other actions can we do to create this corporeal confidence to enter the Congress together?

R. Simply awaken the friends I don't know, what other actions are there? Are you talking about physical actions?

S. Yes, physical actions because you said it's different?

R. I don't know what else to do, look I'm trying to do this every single lesson, and I see how this operates, we can't say that it’s no but we can’t say that is exactly yes. Therefore we need to try, we need to try, that's our work. Not to despair but to continue. Everyday should be as new in your eyes. The very last action before the end of correction you'll then also think how are we doing and what are we performing, what is that active connection, you understand? It's truly like that because the new things that are revealed and spirituality every single moment that appear to be completely new and that you never touched them.

S. Every time we need to liven the actions even though we registered to dozens of Congresses, so every time like it's the first time?

R. That's not important and you could have eaten Ten for Ten years everything that you wanted, and now you have nothing to eat God forbid, then you feel that you are in a lack.

S. Whoever registered is prepared more? Or is it still us entering as one group?

R. There are two things in this, if I want to be in the convention and I register and I sign up or if I don't want to be in the convention and I sign up nevertheless, if I already registered long ago, or if I'm about to register now. But the bottom line is that the result is that I have registered and that enters into correction. And all the actions in the states before registering operate upon myself so that I will learn from this how to behave correctly. How to prepare myself correctly.

I think that the moment it'll be known to me if I were truly to be invited to a convention, I would immediately register myself, I want to be the first one. Because it is all received and that general calculation in our inclination towards correction. And if I don't register in order to be convened with everyone in connection with everyone, then by this I am simply seemingly, I'm signing the fact that I don't want to be connected and if not then how can I even think about the state of correction which happens only in the connection between everyone. How is that possible?

S. Now in your answer is the first time I heard TES, whether to aim or not to aim, first register and then the intention?

R. Yes exactly I said that yesterday also, where do I want or not want I register but later my thoughts and desires and all those things, I will get along with those later.

S. I just really want to ask all the friends around the world whether I don't have importance, let's just finish this and register and all of us come to the Congress together.

47. S. (01:48:16) The connection in the permanent Ten took a long time to build, since basically the beginning of the pandemic and they're still states of ups and downs, but the ten in the Congress, it's only been in the last two days. How can we build a connection like that in such a short amount of time or will it take on a completely different form?

R. I am very happy that I can come to another Ten and another Ten and another Ten. Four Tens within 2 days and each time try to connect to them and enter them into be as an integral part together with them because this is supposed to give me an impression of the state of the end of correction, so why not? I go and I try to do this and I'm trying to get this experience, this impression of what it's called to connect to the Ten and all of these different forms this way and that way. Whereas I might in my permanent Ten, not be able to discover and why? Because it's clear to me that a habit, how is it said? The habit makes it so that the flavors is no longer there, it loses its taste. I don't have such a new feeling, a new strong feeling like in the atmosphere in a new Ten. Is that clear, so let's try to use this. And let's go and execute all these things in these Tens this way which we are falling upon, truly.

48. S. (01:50:37) Technically and internally, in excerpt 19 what we read, it was about all the scary threats that can come until it’s full attainment. Is that a process of all those scary horrible scary things? Because they were happening before we met the Wisdom of Kabbalah and this was explained that the Creator is behind everything. When we work in the Ten, it increases the pace of those different states and also it's not so painful and not so scary because you are studying this all the time. But we still don't reach that drop of connection that Baal HaSulam writes about and now we are before a new degree of connecting tens, so what should we emphasize internally? Maybe on that drop of unification but what's new at this point?

R. How important is that there is nothing more important than feeling that drop of unification, within which we are all on behalf of the vessel and the Creator on behalf of the light. That's what we need to try and feel, we're connecting together in one drop. Try to feel this with all our forces, try to feel this all the time, day and night it doesn't matter but constantly try to depict this to oneself and to feel.

S. There will be a lot of mirror congresses and only virtual friends will really go through four virtual Tens?

R. I don't understand anything about this so don't try to put me in this. I don't understand anything about this turn to the Congress managers about this.

49. S. (01:53:59) My Ten is the boat and it seems like you are pushing us towards a random Tens to exit the boat to embrace time by time what's around us and what feel what is outside is our Ten?

R. Yes I want you to begin to understand what other discernment and what other new connections you need to feel in the connection between you also in your Ten also in maybe another side and additional Ten but the main thing is for you to feel what else you are missing in order to discover the Creator, for the Creator to be revealed in you.

What else do you need for the Creator to be revealed in the Ten and this one another one it doesn't matter and all of them together it doesn't matter. Don't start to be something special in this, we need to open for everyone and connect with everyone and we need to give the Creator a field from within which He will be revealed, that’s the feel of the connection between us, so let's do it. And without egotistical calculations to this side or that side, my Ten or not my Ten, it doesn't matter. The end of correction that we are talking about that needs to be on the way. It needs to be revealed as the connection between everyone.

50. S. (01:56:05) After about three years we have for the first time a physical convening here in the convention in the center and meals and gatherings of friends and it's really like this feeling on one hand a very festive feeling, on the other hand that there is many friends that are a little hesitant about coming and incorporating physically and we kind of got used to being virtual and sit at home in the Arvut system. What's the benefit that we will gain by being here physically together like this for two days with meals and gatherings of friends and all of that?

R. We're going to gain that I feel that there's a lot like me that are here together and connected to the same goal, and that's why we're going to try and reach that connection between us and that's why we're coming here. What's bad about that? Or what are the questions about that?

S. I'll tell you what the question is because for the last three years for some of the friends that became an ideological thing to become virtual it's almost more spiritual to be virtual?

R. No, completely not, completely not, the love demands connection and adhesion in any means you have. If I have an ability to come close to someone I love, so it can’t be that I will remain at a distance from him, it means that there's a certain flaw in the connection between us. That it could be that you're making sure not to come too close in order to discover that you don't have anyone to really love or you don't love him or he doesn't love you and you know to keep the gloves on.

S. As long as we get an approval to meet physically from the Board of Health so we should all come here?

R. Only if it's allowed by the Board of Health.

S. Well let's say people forgot about the corona, no corona anymore?

R. Well I'm sorry to say it's not exactly like that but we can try. Again I'm also turning to everyone that whoever comes to our lessons, to our lessons here or anywhere else in the world, they have to make sure and be confident that he's not giving Corona to anyone else.

51. S. (01:59:18) There is a feeling or a hope that specifically in this convention will at last be able to rise above the ego. There's an opportunity to get rid of the control of externality and focus inwards. Is this possible or does it need to be a prolonged process for the same people?

R. No, we reach the end of correction suddenly, it can be sudden in a quick short way, that's why we need to be prepared for it. On this it is written that the salvation is in a moment, that it can take place instantly, and in a surprise that you don't expect it.

52. S (02:00:00) How to take advantage in the convention specifically, the state that we are with friends that we're not accustomed to work within a Ten?

R. Try and do it like that, take them and bend them and connect them, bring them into the work into an inner trip and all kinds of things and buy that you will succeed. Where we have to work with all the world and all of humanity, as much as we will make this connection between us now in a better way, so by this will bring the whole world closer to the connection.

53. S. (02:01:08) Can we say that the fear to connect in groups comes from the ego?

R. Everything comes from the ego. All our things come from the ego, even the desire to connect if we have such a thing, that also comes from the ego we still haven't gone to the other side yet.

54. S. (02:01:37) And how should we work with such a fear?

R. It’s not a fear, work with the ego and with the desire to connect and the desire to attain the goal as much as you can more and more and then the upper light will correct these things.

55. S. (02:01:55) Not all the friends and not all the men and the women have Tens. How can this convention help us collect and gather all the dwindling parts that distance ones from us?

R. First of all we have to make sure that the friends can join should join, specifically in the way the Congress is now we can really quickly connect more tens, and to put a few friends of ours in there and to take care of those new tens even from our campus and all our branches. We can also make Tens of them and add them into the audience of the Congress, I don't know if we're doing it or not. Students who have been through a few semesters of the campus can also go into the Congress and participate with us. I'm really happy to hear it because before us we have broader dissemination and connection with a broader world public.

56. S. (02:03:27) If I entered a random room and I found there are three other friends from my Ten, should I remain there or go out?

R. If it turns out that way so it does, but we take them as new. It's written that it should always be new in your eyes. Every person and every day a person has to feel new in the new Creator, a new Ten and so on. So let's establish ourselves in a way that we are always anew,
