Morning Lesson May 12, 2021 Transcription
1. Rav’s Introduction: We need to organize it so there will be a lesson from a different source. Who can do it? I recommend all our friends around the world to have a 10-minute Gathering of Friends. I cannot give a lesson. We're asked to leave the premises and go to the bomb shelter. So for the time being...
WSQ (01:43): How do I start a new day each day? By activating myself from 0, from minus connection, anti-group, anti-spirituality. When I get up like a beast without any feeling, how do I bring myself to a state where I feel myself connected with everyone, in adhesion with everyone, truly in one heart, one place, one goal? How do I go through all these stages, from the animate degree to the speaking degree? Let's discuss it.
Rav (08:58): It is written, the first Hassidim, the adherence of the Hassidut movement, this is the force of bestowal. Hessed is the force of bestowal. So, the first Hassidim, at the beginning of the implementation of the wisdom of Kabbalah, in order to reach the degree of bestowal, equivalence of form with the Creator on the first-degree, we know that the equivalence of form with the Creator has two degrees, which is to bestow in order to bestow and to receive in order to bestow. Those who want to reach the first-degree are called Hassidim. So the first Hassidim would spend one hour in prayer so as to aim their hearts to their father in Heaven. The intention of reaching the Hassidim that would be the aim of their prayer. They would ask from the Creator to connect them and give them the strength of connection and bestowal so that their hearts would be aimed to the Creator in heaven. This is written in the Mishnah. This is the directness of the heart, so that the heart will be aimed at this directness of the heart; so it won't be scattered into passions and lust of worldly matters, but only to aim directly to his father in Heaven; so that everything will be aimed to only the Creator; so that we will direct our thoughts, direct our intentions so that we understand that we are focused entirely on the inclination towards the Creator; and we slowly reach a line of contact with the Creator where this connection starts to be built from the efforts of wanting to connect to the Creator, and the Creator wanting to connect.
But the Creator can only connect according to our efforts towards him. This is called: “My beloved to me and myself to my beloved”. We cannot be openness on the side of the Creator more than openness from the side of the person. It needs to be in this mutual fashion. This is why we need to work on the intention, work on what we need to understand: that we are starting from the degree of animate, from still, vegetative and animate and from there we need everyone to reach the speaking level. All of our efforts, all of our work, is how to daily and even multiple times in a day to awaken to see how much we are disconnected, and again, reach connection. The intention of aiming our heart. So by being disconnected, by feeling ourselves disconnected, by discovering that we are disconnected, we need to be happy about it. So every time we start from zero, and even more than zero, from this degree, from the animate degree, from the level of the beast, we by this awaken the broken vessels, so each time we scrutinize the broken vessels and we aim them towards connection with the Creator. Therefore, as much as each and every one according to his soul has broken vessels, a great soul, then there are many broken parts and their shattering is very deep. Then a person feels very far away and disconnected from all spiritual matters, and it is difficult for him to wake up and to recover and to activate his heart because his heart is against bestowal--it works in the opposite way, in reception.
As it says, “one who is greater than his friend, his inclination is greater”, that the greater the coarseness is, in overcoming that coarseness there is more bestowal, more Ohr Hozer, reflected light, and this is how people grow. Therefore, we need to realize that each and every time we are being given an opportunity to sort new vessels and this way to reach correction. The correction is, as it says, “a thousand times shall the righteous fall and get up”. The righteous means a degree where a person reaches the degree of Bina, where he justifies the Creator by this; and a righteous means one who comes out of the degree of Malchut to the degree of Yesod, the degree of the Sefira which is above Malchut. This is considered that it is already in bestowal. This is how we should look at it a thousand times. Does the righteous fall and get up? We have to realize that this is our work. So, don't despair out of the fact that each time I'm in a broken state, I discover myself this way, and it's hard for me to get up, even harder than before, because each time I am scrutinizing, sorting new vessels.
That is, from zero, I go down, and I scrutinize this vessel and I raise it up, from minus 1 to plus 1, then I fall to minus 2 and I correct the vessel and I go up to plus 2. This is how it is each time. We go deeper down and we rise higher up. This is why, from time to time, our work becomes harder, but along with that, we understand better, we are more capable of doing the work...A person never fails. He never fails. Rather, a person is always given a degree in which he is capable of working with it, arranging it, rising above it. The Creator is not interested in us failing. Just like us, just the way we do it with a baby or a little child, we want him to succeed and we do all kinds of actions, preparations, so that he will try, but he will eventually succeed. This is how the Creator is doing it with us. Here, we therefore need to realize that a thousand times shall the righteous fall and get up, this is truly our work. A thousand times is what we need in order to scrutinize our broken vessel because we cannot do it at once, we cannot raise it from the dust, the shattering all at once, but rather, only through such actions, incursions, to feel it in its broken state--meaning the rejection between us, the distance between us-- and to make an effort in connection, turning to the Creator, getting forces from above, and connecting ourselves back into one vessel, into Adam HaRishon. This is how we correct it each time. That is, the connection between us through turning to the Creator, this is what we have to establish, what we have to do.
2. S. (18:28): How do we aim ourselves correctly according to the first Hassidim who would pray for an hour?
R. I don't know how to explain it. There are many articles, many explanations about it, but nevertheless, a person has to establish these things inside of himself. And each time it will be new for him. This is the matter of the scrutiny of the vessels and the connection between the vessels. Therefore, I don't know how to explain it in a short way, what needs to be done. The most important thing we have to realize is that each and every moment we can check our disconnection, our disconnection. From our disconnection, we can understand that this is the desirable state, this is the existing state, it's all good, it's a revelation of the broken vessel, and it was all done even before us, before Creation, in Adam HaRishon. We get these broken vessels, our ego, and upon us is only to discover it, disclose it a little bit, as much as it is given to us through an example before our eyes. This is how we discover it and correct it. Each time, another part and another part and another part; in small portions, whatever is given to us to discover: hatred, rejection, distancing between us, in all kinds of different manners. Each time to correct it more and more. This is how we established the same vessel of Adam HaRishon, making it into a single kli.
S. Now what's happening in Israel is complicated. Is it demanded from us as a special request?
R. No. We need to continue studying as much as possible/ surely we will have disconnections. I was in all of these things, well, a long time ago. Say from the War of Yom Kippur, that was 1973, yes. So, we are used to this here. We are used to it. It is not good that we're used to it, because we don't even pay attention anymore to what is happening, but sometimes it does, nevertheless, awaken thoughts that we need to correct something, that it is all coming from the Creator and apparently we are not so okay. However, the problem is that you have no people, no nation that is more stubborn than the people of Israel, the Jews. They are such that nothing helps them. They don't learn, not from history, not from anything, therefore it is a problem. Their ego is so great that it is difficult for them to change themselves at all. However, this shouldn't bother us. We will continue studying as usual. Hopefully these disturbances will not happen at the times when we are studying. That's it. We are used to this, we hear the alarms, or explosions when these rockets are passing above us and the iron shield is shooting them down. We are used to these things. This whole country here is seemingly at the front, so this is how it has to be. We have to feel that we are on the front line in the war of the Creator against the great will to receive that he created.
3. S. (23:36) Yes, it awakens. So how do we get to where we won't need more pressure from the Creator?
R. There is no such thing/ everything that is happening from the side of man is happening from the Creator. How else do you think? That there is a person and he has some choice, and the Creator would have liked it to be differently, but now he's sitting on the side; now the person is operating and later on the Creator is operating? Maybe this is what people are thinking; however, we first of all accept that everything comes from there is none else beside him, so it is upon us only to feel ourselves, that we are opposite the Creator, only that.
Excerpt 23 (24:44-26:12)
4. R. So what is he saying here and number 23 is in the beginning of his study when will you begin to study and we don't have before us any confusion, where exactly are we what do we have to reach and by what are we drawn to reach the purpose of creation, the purpose of life, then we are not even in the right direction. Rather we need to have direction, who am I, what am I, which direction am I headed, what for. Such questions a person needs to ask about, what is the situation when a person comes to study, when a person is beginning, there is no desire to thereby achieve a complete faith. Complete faith means the force of bestowal to be like the Creator which he can achieve through the light in the Torah. Through the influence of the study because the study explains to him and shines on him from the Creator from that same source by wanting to adhere to the one who wears it. Meaning that a person wants to feel, to reach the same quality like the surrounding light that is surrounding us, it was inside of us, the Creator was inside of us and it came out and now he's outside of us. So it turns out that we want to reach the Creator who is outside of us because we don't have the right vessels with which to feel him. Then we want him to clothe in us once again. Which vessels do we need to make, which Corrections do we need to make, which actions do we need to carry out so that the Creator the surrounding light that has come out as a result of the shattering and it exists around us, how it will come and clothe once again in our corrected vessels?
By wanting to adhere to the one who wears it, who is clothed in the Torah, this general light is called the Torah, also from the word Ohr, light and it gives the light of Torah and none other. It follows that he is learning Torah which is the clothing of the Creator meaning we learn all kinds of things, everything that is happening in the world. In general in our world and also in the spiritual world. We are learning about different desires inside of which are clothed different lights. Then through all kinds of such portions, different portions and relations between the lights and the vessels by learning about them we get to know more and more the different connections between them, the opposite things between them. We are seemingly constantly playing within something in the wrapping between the lights and the vessels. By this the vessel starts being more similar to light, gradually the lights clothe more and more in the vessels, in the desires and the desires become more similar to those lights and this is how it goes until they enter one another. Until the light will change the vessel in such a way that the vessel even though it is the opposite, it doesn't want to receive the light, it doesn't want to bestow, it changes and becomes the bestower, the light then enters it according to the equivalence of form.
So it follows that he is studying the Torah which are the clothing, the garments of the Creator. Meaning that he knows how to connect his desires is inclination, so that they will all be already directed towards mutual bestowal. This means that they are aimed towards the Creator and from them he wants to achieve complete faith, the force of bestowal that is unlimited, meaning in all of our vessels as much as possible this is considered reaching complete faith without any limitation and adhering to the one who wears it, the upper light is adhered to through whatever a person is given, a person should not feel that there are any other parts in his will to receive that are not similar to the Creator. This is what we need to reach this is considered the complete correction and complete adhesion. So it is here to the one who wears it who is the giver of the Torah so it all comes from the Creator and here's justification of three discernments, one, the Torah and two, the Creator and three, the person and those three become one There is a person who is taking on the form of the Creator to bestow, the form of the Creator which is to bestow but the person wants to establish himself to shape himself so that he will appear like the Creator however the Creator's bestowing out of his nature and a person seems as if he's bestowing out of his corrections. This is the difference right, inside I remain a will to receive, cruel, completely opposite to the Creator. The corrections that I make, then I put on myself, the opposite garments to my egoistic nature so that I reach a state where I resemble the Creator.
When I reach that I have even inverted myself to bestow, the entire will to receive, constantly wanting to receive for itself I worked on it so that now it is still in a will to receive, however now to bestow. So then between me and the Creator in connection, a connection is formed, unification. I start becoming similar to him. He is bestowing in his natural form and I do it through bestowal, through connections over my will to receive power. However, still in my external form I resemble him. This is why I reach a state of connection with him, unification and to reach the complete unification of all of the created beings with the Creator. This is the purpose of creation and the purpose of correction. It's only correction that we have to perform, afterwards, after we correct ourselves and we reach something resembling the Creator. First of all on the way to correction we get to know in more and more we resemble in we perform acts of bestowal like him and after that it says from his actions, do we know you we begin to more and more study him through actions just like we start doing some work that we're not familiar with.
Bit by bit as we work in it as we do it, by doing it we understand better why it is such, where does it come from. What for, what is the connection between all of the different parts of it and the materials the matter that we are engaging in? This is all acquired specifically by using the matter of creation through our work, this is how we reach the understanding of the Creator. It's impossible to get to know the Creator himself. Let's say, we in our life, a person who is outside of us however if we engage together with him and some actions then out of that we begin to get to know him, who he is, what he is, what he wants, his attitude, his goal. It's the same here. This is called from your actions we know from your actions that you will perform like the Creator, you will get to know the Creator. To get to know the Creator himself, that is impossible. It is the force of bestowal, we don't understand it, we don't feel it, however if I will perform actions by myself like the form of bestowal out of that if I did I reach the degree of the Creator, getting to know him and this is how I reach adhesion.
5. S. (36:12) What is this degree of Israel?
R. Israel means the direction of a person who is aiming himself to reach adhesion with the Creator, who resembled the Creator who discovered the Creator, called Israel, Yashar El, straight to the Creator, that he wants to reach connection with the Creator, the revelation of the Creator. This is why he is called this way, any person in the world no matter who he is, what he is, it's not according to color or nationality or characters or gender, none of this. So long as he is on the degree which is above the animate that he has such inner preparations so that he can rise above the animate degree, to be more than animals and this is according to the desire that exists in a person and then he can reach the degree of speaking. In the end our development on the face of the earth is such that all people will reach the degree of Israel, the degree of the Creator and therefore since they shall all know me from the least of them to the greatest of them, my house shall be called a house of prayer to all nations.
6. S. (38:01) How to believe that the Creator is not interested in our failure because the opposite is revealed?
R. I think differently, I think that we always have only success, the success is it says that they elevate in sanctity they never lower in sanctity. Even it seems to us that we make mistakes and we fall and we don't succeed and were thrown out of the spiritual work. It is all states of ascent and it is never states of the descents that is even though we enter all kinds of problems and wars and illnesses and even death, it doesn't matter. What it is all in all in the general vessel of Adam HaRishon all the vessels are only going through their correction from the beginning of through which is the shattering and until the end of correction where they are all filled with the upper light. We are all in that process. However this becomes revealed to people who have received the light of Hassidim and with that light in that light they can see what is happening with the broken vessels and then they realize that this is how it is happening. It cannot be that the Creator who is good and doing good, that he was performing some action that is not force of correction. However, certainly we feel these actions are not always in the correct good way. It's because we are not ready for the corrections as they are and therefore we suffer. However we need to realize that all there is in the world is only Hassidim, a great Hessed, Mercy from the Creator as it says only good Mercy shop case after me all the days of my life and it depends on the person how he sees it but on the other side it doesn't matter how one's reason is always coming out of love the Creator's attitude towards the created beings has not changed other than absolutely.
7. S. (40:54) The term of Israel, the Creator and the Torah are as one this is always caused a lot of interest and 2nd in excerpt it said the unification with the Creator can you explain the process?
R. No, next question I cannot explain about the unification, this is something you have to attain and out of the action itself, out of the result of it, we feel what we feel what unification means, I can't say what does it mean to unify with another person, you can’t really.
S. We've discussed this in the 10 before the lesson, I can understand that once we reach the stage of the Creator, Israel, the Torah and the Creator are one, they have the same identity?
R. No, we become as one, as one and that they do explain to us, we will see we would still need to scrutinize this.
S. This is a state of the end of correction?
R. Yes this unity is the end of correction, however after we finish our correction of the vessel and then in that correct vessel, we still have more to do then maybe the true work begins when we have a vessel, then additional work opens up before us not corrections but rather special attainments that are above and beyond the correction of the vessels.
8. S. (43:10) How can we check within the 10 that we are advancing directly and not in some strange way?
R. This is according to our inclination to connect between us according to her inclination to connect between us that's it. You cannot really check it according to your situation the way you are in this world and you are constantly falling, deteriorating more and more because they reveal to you more and more and more shattering. Since you are in the vessel of Adam HaRishon and out of the revelation of the shattering you have to elevate the broken vessels to correction, to connection and this is also between us as much as we will feel it by which we will feel soon that we hate each other, that we want to kill each other. This would be a sign of the revelation of the shattering and then each shall help his friend, we will have to support each other and explain this to each other, that it is all not us that is doing it but rather the Creator is creating these conflicts between us. Then in such a way we need to be more connected and no one should look at the nature of the other, the character of the other, the deeds of the other. Rather one should look at the character and nature to which the Creator is revealed through which the Creator is revealed through the friend and then I accept all of these things as a topic for correction.
This is how we unite more and more with the Creator through whatever he is presenting to end this world in the friends and maybe in general with the world but that will come later, so with the friends and we realize that to be in adhesion with them above all of the disturbances, it doesn't mean I disregard all the disturbances, I take them as coarseness so that upon this coarseness, I am going to connect and then by build a spiritual Partzuf and in it we discover the spiritual world. That there is coarseness that there is for screen and I make a restriction on it and that is I realize that I received it from the Creator. I have to be above it not to seemingly erase it as though it doesn't exist but to be above it, above the coarseness and to use the coarseness in the opposite way, as refinement that I am working with this coarseness, with all of these disturbances that for me these are not disturbances. For me this is a connection with the Creator through this coarseness through these ego, through these incidents that he positions before me.
9. S. (46:38) We spoke with the friends about the importance of participation in the morning lesson. Can we compare this unification with participation?
R. I don't know what it means that a person comes to the lesson and sits there. I don't know what it is he is thinking about, how much he is entering the connection with the friends, how much he is trying to be in connection with the friends, what does it mean that he is there? He's warming up his chair? I don't know if it's weird for me to hear such a question, coming to the lesson means that I am becoming connected with others. It's part of our work. Yes, if I get up and I sit next to the computer or maybe I even come to a place where we sit together, it could be this way also, however that's not enough. What is happening with your heart, tells me that, are you connected in your desire with the desires of the others and do you want to reach a single desire to discover there is a single Creator?
S. For example if a friend cannot come to the lesson?
R. What does it mean that he cannot come if he does not have a computer?
S. For different reasons.
R. I don't know about reasons, all of these reasons, it's all just is his ego and no more is ego and no more I don't take into account a reason. A person should realize that for him it is either life or death for him personally he doesn't owe it to anyone. He should feel that if he is coming to the lesson that is all at all he got out of bed, turns on the computer and he is sitting opposite the screen and the camera and this is his connection with his spiritual world, with spirituality. That he can enter the upper world and feel eternity and the wholeness in nature and incorporate there or he will just end up like a beast. He lives and he dies just like you. He takes some chicken and slaughters it and eats it, so the chicken at least by this does its role, someone is eating it and he continues living. However what it does a person live for if not for the sake of rising to a higher degree. We are in a state of complicated connections, what does it mean complicated situation, we are in a state where we ourselves are animals. We are on the animated level according to our body, but according to our inclination we have the speaking degree, only those who have a desire in the wisdom of Kabbalah where the upper providence is bringing them to the study of Kabbalah and this is how we then and but it's not and overcome, if not that then we are just animals. Therefore there is no calculation with us just like with animals therefore if you don't get up and you don't study in order to rise to the degree of the Creator, to discover him and to be like him. That is to rise to the degree of this world still, vegetative, degree animate, to the degree of the spiritual world, the still vegetative and animate degree of the next World of the spiritual degree spiritual world if you do not rise to that and you remain as a beast.
This is why it says they all remained as beast and it all depends on if you get up or do you not get up for the lessons, that is it and here there are no none of your explanations can help, you can talk about it as much as you want the Creator gave you a chance, use it if you want and if not, no, that is your business. There is no coercion and spirituality you have been given an opportunity and an example if you do it, you do it, if you don't then it is your business. Each is the boss of his fate.
S. Do we need to unite in order for the friends to attend the morning lesson or they need to come to the lesson in order for you now to unite?
R. These are nonsensical questions you need to do what is whatever possible in order for you to be in the lesson and start to connect in the lesson and you will build in your correct desire that will be considered the vessel in which the Creator will be revealed, that's it and all the rest of it is just stories. You are looking for some kind of confirmation, approval for yourself that you can do whatever you want. Look at it seriously, what do you have in life that remains out of your life and do the calculation, do the math and make up your mind.
10. S. (53:30) What is the Aviut, the coarseness, where it is revealed?
R. Of course this is the magnitude of the will to receive in the person.
S. Is it revealed in the connection between us?
R. It is revealed when you begin to perform actions of bestowal and whatever stands in your way whatever hinders you and those acts, directions, is called coarseness and then use it correctly you don't want to erase it, you want to rise above it. Even though it exists, you are looking, searching, asking for forces that will allow you to work above the coarseness, in contradiction to the coarseness, in bestowal which is above reception.
S. The coarseness rises when we start to grow?
R. Yes, this is why it says one who is greater than his friend his inclination is greater each time the coarseness grows and is difficult for him to go over the coarseness, however he does reach the state begins to attain the light, the lights are greater according to the degree of the coarseness.
11. S. (55:03) What does it mean studying Torah for the three discernments?
R. Study together, study the Torah that means I am with the friends together and we want to receive the reforming light that exists around us, surrounding us and we want to get its influence over us so that it will connect us together. Then we were then called Israel and we are aiming ourselves through the friends to the Creator and then the Creator accordingly dresses in the connection between us and then it is considered that we received Torah, the upper light, the revelation of the Creator.
S. What is the intention when a person what do we need to have it as an intention?
R. I don't know, do you sometimes ask about a person, what is his intention?
S. So I'm sitting here now with his 10?
R. Not in your 10 just in your life when he asks what does he want, what does he intend or what does he see as a result of his efforts and some think the intention means whatever a person wants to reach its very simple.
S. You can't study Torah without intention?
R. You can just learn, who knows, maybe you want to be a professor, you also need to have intention.
S. What intention do I have to hold in order to draw the light with the intention?
R. That you want the reforming light that is your intention.
S. That's what I have to think about in the 10
R. Yes, how can we change if not for the reforming light?
S. What do I have to think about the light to draw it?
R. You simply need to think that you want to receive the upper force that so that it will influence me and change me according to it, so that I will be like that light.
S. That's the intention that should be?
R. Yes
12. S. (58:08) You said that the Creator sends only mercy, lights of love, there is nothing else and we translate it to missiles all over the country, dozens, hundreds and how does it get translated when the light of love turns into something terrible in our place, how could our attitude be with this language of the Creator?
R. That we will want to connect and translate all of our hatred into love and that instead of rockets we will get flowers from our brothers the Arabs. We, through the hatred between us are causing their hatred towards us. Are you listening?
S. We, meaning Israel?
R. Yes, the Israelis who hate each other are by this awakening from them hatred from all the nations of the world and if we will reach a connection between us, then we will be rewarded with discovering all the nations of the world to connect with us. It all depends only on us keeping the rule of love your friend as yourself.
S. Then nothing will change because the Creator is already sending us grace and mercy.
R. Then it will be revealed mercy.
13. S. (01:00:21) Does a person control his intention or the intention is a result?
R. A person cannot control anything just like a little baby but he only knows one thing, how to cry. If we will discover correctly our ability to ask, to cry with respect to the Creator, by that we will defeat everything and we will manage the world. We have the possibility to turn to the upper force and through it to change everything but for the better. This is called make your will as soon as well so that he will make his will as your will.
14. S. (01:01:23) How should we turn to the upper force so that his bestowal will always bring us the abundance? So that it will convert the influence of the upper one into abundance?
R. We only need one thing from him. He broke into pieces so we will ask of him only one thing, connection. We don't need anything just to bring the broken vessel to the state of a whole vessel gradually and as much as we can connect more and more we attach we add up those broken pieces, we understand creation more the laws of creation what's happening within and this way we get to know the Creator in this vessel.
S. All kinds of disturbances are revealed to us and appear before us of course like you said how should we work and use these in a good way?
R. We have to connect and in spite of the coarseness that's what's happening each time we get greater and greater disturbances because the shattering is revealed from the smallest thing up to the worst possible thing, the deepest things. We need to ask each time for connection and other than connection we have nothing to ask for, because what we have before us is the broken vessels. You're an engineer and architect, you know what it means, what else do you have to worry about only about a connection between the broken parts, that's it. Against the shattering, this disconnection, we receive all the revelations, hatred, repulsion, distancing, separation, everything you want, whatever you want however is revealed. It's revealed from the shattering and we receive, acquire an attitude towards it. It's not good for us, it's better for us to connect that's what the Creator is doing. So let's start to do it and then you begin to discover that in that request for connection and in carrying out the connection you are changing your fate, the fate of the people of the world. Because you are correcting the vessel that we are all in.
S. What does it mean that we changed the entire destiny?
R. When we connect the broken pieces where the upper light can appear more and more the Creator that was in it and departed because of the shattering so he is seemingly returning to that vessel.
S. So does it mean that the entire program, the fact that we are above the coarseness, the shattering, moving towards unity, we change the program?
R. No it stays the same, we have to connect more and more each time and attach them to one vessel, how do we do it? When each and every part of the broken vessels, to each of our intention for them to be connected, to direct and guide the connection, to guide it and to hold it, that's it we just need to ask, everything else is done by the Creator.
S. But there we are asking above all kinds of disturbances to unite each and every time we restrict his coarseness you said but what does it mean later that we use it in order to bestow, this coarseness?
R. You are speaking incorrectly. First of all it is not later we decide what to do, whether from the very beginning, the end of the action is in the initial thought. I, from the beginning know I am doing this. I wish to connect the broken vessel into one vessel so all of us will have one desire, one heart when intention, one action. I know that by myself I am not capable of it, let alone in our connection with the friends. We are incapable of doing it so we all turn to the Creator and ask him to connect us why because we want him to appear between us, why? So that we can give him contentment, so that he will be delighted from us. That’s the difference between a baby in this world who doesn't know what kind of joy he brings to his mom when he is smiling at her, laughing at her. In spirituality we must say that it is not my laughter or my smile or my spiritual inclination towards my spiritual mother, it is in order to give her pleasure. Then it turns out the important thing for you is the intention. This is what we're learning about. The important thing for us is the intention. What do I want this action to yield in the Creator? What do I wish for you to awaken in him?
S. It turns out that between our intention to make the Creator happy in between the disturbances all of this is the work, all the work is in the gap, Partzuf is in this gap.
R. Yes the main part of the Partzuf the main part of the Partzuf is the intention that is holding together the qualities of reception and bestowal coarseness, the screen, it holds everything that's the intention to bestow to the Creator.
S. So what is the screen in that situation because you now describe the restriction but what is the screen?
R. The screen is the force of overcoming, the force of resistance, the force that holds it that we ask for the strength of the power above our will to receive, some form of bestowal.
15. S. (01:08:48) Hasadim that are not revealed are always revealed in such a tough way?
R. There are revealed and concealed Hasadim and when they’re concealed, we can't see that they are Hassidim because all the actions on us come from the Creator and all those actions are Hassidim. But we identify them according to our corrections if they are Hassidim or we do not identify them yet as Hassidim. Accordingly we name them “revealed” or “concealed” Hassidim and there are other discernments that we will learn about.
S. But towards one person the Creator can give him a small kick and the other, he gives a hard strike. What is the strength that this blow depends on?
R. How much the amount of the influence to the Creator on a person depends on the level of the will to receive in a person. If he has a great desire to receive, broken, meaning great meaning the Creator wants to advance them, accordingly he awakens him more forcefully, more intensely. That's why it says, ‘he whom the Creator loves, He will rebuke.’ Meaning each person the Creator wishes to draw near to Him, He does that, and according to the great desire a great soul, accordingly a person feels great suffering, torments.
16. S. (01:11:05) You said before that Israel can change reality from rockets to flowers. I heard that you told the reporters in the meeting that Israel can change only through spiritual blows whereas the world changes with the corporeal below, so what are spiritual blows?
R. When we feel like things don't work out for us. Seemingly corporeally we are advancing but spiritually we are moving further away, drawing great hate towards us. Our failure on the political levels and education levels it's not the time to scrutinize it now but in short, we have a big problem. It will reveal itself more and more. Soon we will begin to scrutinize and it will be clear, right before our eyes, what is being revealed and what is happening.
17. S. (01:12:34) When we engage in Torah, what is the Torah in itself not the light within it?
R. The Torah itself has many interpretations. The Torah, in and of itself, sometimes is referred to according to the light in it but there are also clothing, here. Torah, in and of itself, is the Creator's attitude to the created beings. His plan, His power and force by which He is correcting the created beings. The entire attitude from the Creator to the will to receive that He created is called Torah.
S. What does it mean here in the excerpt that he is studying Torah and the light shines for him? What does it mean that he’s studying Torah, what action is this?
R. To study, learn the Torah means to try to perform acts of bestowal like the Creator and from that, to understand what the Creator is doing, the nature of the Creator, to bestow. Then the Torah teaches us how to be similar to The Creator, how to bestow.
18. S. (01:14:15) Our whole intention is with the entire Kli. How did Rabash help you to feel that there is ‘none else besides Him’?
R. No one can help the other feel. Rather just like when you enter and begin to study in your profession, a new skill, they give you material with which to work. From working with the material, investing forces, your attitude into different states, more or less, different conditions, you begin to feel this material with which we are working. You begin to get to know your will to receive, yourself, and also the will to bestow which is outside of you and what to do with it. Gradually, in this way, we come to ‘opening the eyes in Torah, as we call it. You begin to know the manner of creation, the will to receive and also how to change it in order to also be in the desire to bestow. It is called’ from your actions we shall know you,’ if you will perform actions that are similar to The Creator as much as you understand and are capable of, you will begin to feel from those actions who is the Creator.
19. S. (01:16:25) What is there, any relation between the intention and the reforming light? Is this the same thing?
R. The connection between the intention and the reforming light is completely not the same because the intention for the reforming light is my request, I'm asking for some force to come from above to change and correct me. These are my intentions for the reforming light. And the reforming light is already a force from above, the Creator who begins to work in me correcting my desires to receive to be with the intention not to receive but to bestow.
20. S. (01:17:38) Today we talked about how the world is in wholeness and good, that each and every moment, everything stems from the Creator's love. And on the other hand we say that the shattering is constantly growing and expanding, so what can we do? How do we relate correctly to the continuing expansion? Sometimes I think that I am afraid of performing some other correction because I think it will open up the shattering even more. Is this how it needs to be? How can I grasp this process with joy and not in a way that is scary?
R. We need to learn from what we have been through that we are perceiving an explanation. That we understand better what is happening. And if we truly begin to connect, we will discover the qualities of the Creator within us. Then we will have completely different states. We will be able to justify and see all of creation from one end to the other. Our problem is that we haven't reached these connections between us. This is the problem. We have not reached the positive, good results and this is why it is possible that you have such an impression that each time you correct something you open up a place for the evil to reveal itself, even more. No, it's not like that. If you have done a good action, you will discover the next action, although it is revealed as an unpleasant thing but you discover it in a pleasant way that I get another revelation of problems and when I correct them I will discover the Creator even more. That's why what you're telling me is not a good result from the correction. What you are telling me, here. The results from the correction should be different. As it says “you haven't called on me, oh Jacob”. If you pick up the correct suitcase, it appears, feels light and not heavy.
21. S. (01:23:04) What is the difference between the intention in the last generation? How is this different and how to build the intention in the last generation? There is a difference between the last generation and previous generations?
R. The intention in the last generation where we are in is the intention to reach the end of correction. And not only us but all of humanity. We have no limitations, no restrictions as far as engaging in the wisdom of Kabbalah, but truly to connect everyone as much as possible in a wide as possible way to the subject of connection. You don't need anything else, just the connection between us. The more connected we are, the more we will be able to reveal the upper light inside the corrected vessels.
S. We are obligated to touch the corporeal branch or do we build the intention as Israel in the last generation?
R. We don't need to work on the externality with any material actions in this world. As it is written, ‘everything will be clarified in the thought,’ we need to clarify all of our corrections only in the thought.
S. With this there is a desire to ask, why do we always touch the corporeal branch with what relates to the lessons and all kinds of things that we do. How does it happen this way?
R. Not certain I understand what you are speaking about. What does this have to do with something of this world? We learn it a little bit, we take some examples, later the connection between this world and the spiritual world we’ll understand it from the appearance of the spiritual world. But without the revelation of the upper world, the spiritual world, we don't know what we are doing here. We don't know what is the content of the actions taking place in this world. We have no clue. Where did we acquire these forces? How do they get their nourishment from the upper world? How are they being used? We don't know. You need to see two worlds, here, and how they are connected. Then you will see how the upper world is really running the lower World. From that, it will be clear to you.
22. S. (01:24:46) We discover the right intentions and how will we be able to correct the intention if there is so much deep within us?
R. We are asking the Creator. We ourselves are incapable of it. It is a shame if a person starts to correct his intention by himself. He needs to hear the friends because by himself he won't be able to convince himself. He will always go back to wanting to do all the corrections by himself and see how impossible it is, and then throw everything out and go back to his normal corporeal life. Rather what a person needs to do is to hear from the environments, that all of our corrections come from asking the Creator. The request to the Creator has to come from the entire 10. Then if we ask the Creator from the entire 10, it is certain that we received from above a force, the force of correction which works in us and changing us. If we all think that we can awaken the Creator by ourselves, it is a problem, it is not enough, simply not enough. Because we are then raising a request from ourselves from one broken vessel. But with several broken vessels, If they raise a request to connect, this is already the correct cry to the Creator who broke them from their shattering, from their desire to connect, and from wanting to resemble the Creator, from the connection. This is why you cannot pray or raise a request to the Creator unless it is from a public, a 10. Do this and see how it works immediately, instantly.
23. S. (01:27:17) Baal HaSulam says, “I am happy with the impairments that have come up.” How can we relate ourselves to the disorders that appear in the work?
R. Those are signs of our broken vessels, where all the disturbances come from, from the broken and corrupt vessels that cannot connect. But now it’s their time and they cannot do it because we are not part of it, we are not raising the prayer to the Creator to connect them. That's why we see vessels that are shattered. There are many more vessels that are shattered but it was not their time to connect.
Excerpt 24 (01:28:31 - 01:29:42)
24. S. (01:29:51) You said we need to clarify the correction inside, we believe it is by one intention. What is the difference?
R. I didn't understand the question, what is the difference between what and what?
S. What is the difference between clarifying the corrections with our thoughts and corrections with the intentions?
R. It is the same, I also don't understand exactly what he is asking.
Excerpt 24 again (01:30:45 - 01:31:57)
25. R. (01:32:02) That is what we need to see as a result, as an outcome. When we correct a place where the Creator can appear as ruling over this place as a king, not that we, with our opinions and desires but with our annulment towards the Creator, to make room for Him to appear every moment in the connections between us. First of all, He is in charge controlling them completely and after that we then begin to learn from these qualities, from His control. How we can resemble it and actively be connected to it.
26. S. (01:33:04) What is this name, Shechina, Divinity? When we learned about it I wrote down what you said, that it’s our mutual desire?
R. The Shechina is the desire we have, our common desire, where we want to reveal the Creator according to the law of equivalence of form. Where we connect our desires, where each and every one can be connected with others because he nullifies himself as an egoist and then he connects to others. And when we all connect in this way, in a group, by this we come to a state where we are all seemingly not egoist, each gives up their ego and we have a neutral state. From this state, we come to the Creator and we want Him to correct us onwards, to clothe us and make something from us that will be suitable for his revelation. This is considered, we come to a state called the Shechina. Shechina is a desire that is adapted to the revelation of the Creator in him.
S. So if I understand correctly, the state that is revealed between us is called Shem?
R. If we are connected correctly between us and the Creator can clothes in us and His light which illuminates in our correctly, connected desires between us, then the light and the Kli together is called the name of the Creator. The kli that is corrected in the correct manner and the light which fills the vessel accordingly, all together, make up the letters and the feelings of the name of the Creator. The Creator is revealed in this way.
27. S. (01:35:40) When I look at the pain and suffering that I have been through in the past, I can't see Hassidim. How can I reach revelation from this concealment?
R. In what vessels do you see what you have been through? In your egoistic vessels. Therefore certainly in those vessels you can't see Hassidim. It seems to you like the Creator is doing everything He feels like, bending you in all kinds of directions. You are in His hands and really cursing the whole state that you are in, your fate, because you are not yet corrected and you can understand what is happening to you. This is how it is also like with a child who thinks his parents are so cruel, what do they want from me? They’re sending me to school now for 10 years to study. We need to understand that only after corrections, in accordance with the corrections, not after but in accordance with the corrections that we acquire, according to that we come to a state where we can justify the Creator. To justify the Creator is already a degree where you have Aviut, a great desire and you have performed a correction upon it, and have come to equivalent to form with the Creator. By this, you begin to justify all of the actions that He has done to you from the shattering of the vessel before you, why did He shatter the Kli of Adam, and later how He continued with that Kli, all the way to you and how He leads you to correction. You cannot justify it now because you are not all together in the correct Kli, you have no state of the correct states.
S. Can we say that all of the suffering and pain that a person has is because of the root of a person's soul?
R. Yes, of course this is true, that according to the root of one's soul defines what states he will go through. But suffering, a person goes through because of the desire to receive that is not yet corrected. Not because of the root of his soul, the root of a person's soul is just like that, a desire to receive but that went through all kinds of corrections and shattering, and according to and because of that, we suffer. But we don't suffer because we have the will to receive rather because we don't relate to this will to receive in the correct way. If we try to come to the correct attitude towards our will to receive, even though it is in a corrupted manner, we will reveal in it the future corrected states. From that, we already have hope, joy, high spirits, and confidence that the Creator will complete things for me.
28. S. (01:39:47) If everything is corrected in the thought, how can we use this thought in order to build and strengthen the intention that we need?
R. Also the intention is in thought, it is the same thing, thought, intention, also desires are eventually in thought, everything is clarified in thought as it is written.
29. S. (01:40:29) Sometimes when we talk in the workshop or write our prayer we don't make an effort to include ourselves and what the friend said, we just say what we have at that moment. How do I activate the request, that I will activate my request to a general prayer of the 10?
R. We want there to be responsible people in the group and according to their role they must awaken us towards connection, towards that correct thought and prayer all of this according to their role, today it's me, tomorrow it is you, the next day it's someone else. That is how we come to corrections. We cannot leave these things because they belong to corrections. Meaning that we are now working with them from corruption and we need to come to the form of correction. So we can't say that we will take care of this, each on their own, there is no such thing, no one will take care of it. We need to understand that our ego won't let us take care of this, but rather that we need by the clock, by the person, by the role to aim ourselves towards connection and correction, only by duties.
30. S. (01:42:28) To what kind of knowledge is he referring to when he says that the whole land will be filled with the knowledge of the Creator, will everyone realize Torah and Mitzvot to attain the quality of bestowal of the Creator?
R. Bestowal is considered that the upper light bestows upon all the desires and these desires know how to correct themselves, to change themselves from in order to receive to in order to bestow. This is considered correction by Torah and Mitzvot, Torah is the upper light and the commandant is the correction of the desire, the intention of the desire. Certainly everyone will need to come to the desires in each and every person has all of these desires will have to be corrected, this is what it talks about, this is what Torah means about Mitzvot. Torah is the reforming light and the Mitzvot is the reforming light to correct our desires from within ourselves, 613 desires that need to receive the intention in order to bestow upon them. The execution of each desire in order to bestow is called performing a Mitzvah.
31. S. (01:44:30) It is felt with all of the missiles flying outside that the work becomes very sharp and clear and the distractions disappear, either with missiles or inner work towards the friends the direction becomes clear. What can we take from these sensations to words our regular day today work, to also be sharp, how to search for similar sensations or emotions?
R. No beast moves unless it is by a stick, a prod, the will to receive doesn't move, it needs to be prodded and then according to those stabs, the prodding that he receives oh, he then moves. If we don't move by these small pricks, then we need to invite bigger ones and this is actually what happens to us. Let us hope that we will become wiser and we will move before humanity and as fast as possible to come to correction and through us that we will bestow the reforming light to all of humanity. This is how it will be revealed in the correct way.
S. Not speaking just about the urge to raise the prayer, to be an intention, but about the feeling itself, it feels very sharp and precise, so today when we raise the importance and meet on Zoom it is competing with a lot of other things although now it is sharp. Do we also need to reach such a feeling in our daily work?
R. This is why Baal HaSulam says there might be nuclear bombs and bigger things than what you're hearing now about the rockets in the air, this is still that we don't see it has an influence on those that are below. It is a very strange picture, rockets are flying above us and we are sitting here and it doesn't really move us. We need to think, not that we need to be afraid of this, the Creator wants us to be impressed not in the form of fear but in the form of the essence of our actions that he wants to awaken in us, that we need connections and to show these connections to the whole world and only by the connection will we be able to come to which is desirable.
S. Do you feel at least here in the Israeli Kli at this moment that there is a direction that it's more correct?
R. Between the members of the Bnei Baruch?
S. Yes.
R No not yet.
S. Even now while we are… (Cut off by Rav)
R. Of course now also, you get used to these blows, what is the problem, a rocket Falls oh, what will I die or will I live, what if this whole life that I need to be so concerned about?
S. Not even talking about this life I'm just trying to see what we can take from this experience to work on in our day today?
R. Everything goes through the heart and if the heart is asleep and it doesn't want anything except for the beastly life. To live and let them be quiet, and live in peace, then it is very hard to awaken the heart. Only in the group through the pressure that we put upon one another in our mutual participation.
S. So we need to make certain that our hearts will be alive in this way, regularly? Because at this moment it is very difficult to think of anything else, it is very easy to just focus on this, do we just need to aspire to this and our inner sensation?
R. I can't get into the philosophy right at this moment, if you want to change the situation, change the friends. Discuss it with them, think together with them what you want to do and try to do this. All together I am giving you the rules of how to use those rules and learn from your deeds and from your actions we get to know you.
32. S. (01:50:30) How do we hold the intention in the lesson and also to melt into the lesson at the same time?
R. We need before the lesson to try to do all of the actions that are possible and into the lesson already with a certain connection and during the lesson to constantly be concerned with the increasing of the unification. All together we have to come to a connection and in the connection itself according to the power of this connection, according to that which we are separated and have reached unity between us, this new strong bond and accordingly we will reveal the results from the connection, the spiritual results this is how we build the vessel.
33. S. (01:51:58) We understand everything depends upon the request. How do we ask correctly through the 10?
R. Make your request like the request of the whole 10 and try to be together with them in one heart, in one desire with one set of words, and one intention, even to write down exactly before everyone so that they would all check and see that this is what we are asking from the Creator. Then compose this sentence you want to request from the Creator, write this down and start to ask. Say it a few times today, together maybe. This is actually the matter of the prayer and how the prayer is put together.
34. S. (01:53:36) We need to be for 23 and a half hours to try and hold on to the right line or to aim the left line to the right line, to build the middle of line in this way, you have connection as the middle of line, Divinity, the neutral state?
R. Let's not work according to our clocks, we are all in the time in the 24 hours, we need to try and justify the Creator upon all of the private states that are within us.
Excerpt 25 (01: 54:46 - 01:55:50)
35. R. So we have two degrees here, one degree, one step when I reveal the evil and one to correct it. I can't get rid of it, that is my nature and it remains and will be disclosed as more evil, but I want to correct it so where I use it will be for the good. How to do this I really don't know. At first I think I am discovering that I am not capable and from not being capable I find myself in despair coming to a state where I have something to do, that I need to turn to the Creator. It is written about that, “go to the craftsman who has made you”. Turn to the one who has made you that way and then turn to the Creator and I asked for the force of correction, correct me. You created me, it is written I created the evil inclination and the Torah as a spice because the light in it reforms, meaning you have the remedy, the medicine which is the spice, that you have a problem with you created in me, the desire to receive and against that desire to receive you have a remedy, the upper light as a spice. Bring me the upper light so it will correct me. This is what I am demanding from the Creator. The upper lights will influence me and bestow upon me, and make a good of me. It makes out of a criminal a righteous, from bad to good and from that I will learn how the upper light operates upon me, how I did something called a transgression and then something called a commandment.
This way I was wicked and I became a righteous upon every single detail within me, this is what we must do. We only have one problem which is to ask from the Creator to correct us. And he has to correct, we have nothing else that we can do, meaning that all of our work is to come to a scrutiny and request. After I scrutinize what I need and ask, beyond that it is not on me as it is written the Creator shall finish this for me. The Creator needs to correct me, arrange things within me and do everything but I need to demand that, meaning all of our spiritual work is addressing the Creator and demanding from him to come so that the upper force of correction will come and arrange everything. I don't know anything as I can't from the corrupted state see the corrected state seeing how it needs to be one way or the other, it is impossible, but the Creator knows and he will do it. This is why it is written, go to the Craftsman who made you.
36. S. (01:59:33) Is the part of due time always accompany us or can we get rid of it? I'm noticing that the rockets are other things that are waking me and are forcing me to truly pray and other than that it comes out as tasteless?
R. This depends on the preparation and the connection with the friends as I know and have been through this many times through this lifetime. I have been here through the Gulf War and also through all of the events in Gaza a year or two ago and all kinds of such things. There is no problem as it all depends upon your connection with the friends, try to examine yourself to the extent of what your connection to the friends raises you above the fears because in the friends you are connecting to the Creator in bestowal, which is sending missiles upon you and then there can be no fear. You begin to see this as games from above in order to shake you up to turn to the Creator.
S. So there is a siren now.
R. So go and think about what we spoke about.
37. S. (02:01:55) In principle there are two directions. How do we build something quickly and work with it throughout the day to see the prayer, to arrange it but then it seems like we finish before I sleep, how to properly work with the prayer?
R. If you are busy and constantly thinking of how to turn to the Creator, how to obligate them to correct us it is not important whether you finish this thing or not exactly as long as you are connected between you and with the Creator. The renewal of this connection that you attain in regular way is very important.
38. S. (02:03:05) Do I understand correctly in the except 25 that Rabash is writing to go from Lo Lishma to Lishma and for this we should not be afraid to demand of the Creator for love and bestowal? Trying to convince us we don’t need reward and yet we claim the reward is bestowal, so we demand this?
R. Yes, we need the force of bestowal to reach the end of correction, we are above this we want to be in bestowal to resemble the Creator and realize the desire to bestow.
S. At the end of the prayer we add we want to do this for the contentment of the Creator.
R. When you want to resemble him to take all the governance of reality instead of him this is considered you are giving him contentment.
S. So it turns out that on what hand I need to demand for him to give me the force of bestowal and on the other hand it turns out that all that I want him to do is to just delete him?
R. Yes, but for that you need to activate all of your vessels.
39. S. (02:05:28) There is a state where there is no point to ask but just to pray, that we can give advice for the day, how do we strengthen to be together in this prayer for the Creator so he will help us and give us the force of correction and bestowal?
R. We need to really think every single day that this should bring us the solution this day and that the solution is we are asking of the Creator, not ourselves, we don't do this ourselves not even, we asked him for the correct prayer of how to turn to him, to teach us how to connect in order to reach out to him. Everything is reaching out to the Creator again and again, all the time, nagging him nonstop all together and each one to the others. This is how we will see how helpful it will be, the problem is that we are not directed correctly as we are not asking ourselves, by ourselves as it doesn't work this way. The actions of correction come only from the Creator and according to our request.
Excerpt 26 (02:07:11 - 02:08:07) Twice
40. S. Everything becomes clear in the thought what does it mean in our work in the 10 what do we need to scrutinize?
R. We need to think who we are, what we are in our current state, what we need to be, who we need to be, where we are aimed in the desired state and to feel the difference between the current state and the desired state that we want to be. Then in such a way we will begin to scrutinize our states and accordingly to have a deficiency. So what do we want to reach? If we scrutinize this deficiency who do we direct it to? To the Creator as there is nothing else, everything comes from him and he is causing us on purpose, these problems on purpose in order for us to use all of these things in him and to change ourselves. There are three points of data, one is us, we, meaning our state and the Creator and the request from us to the Creator wanting to change our state. How can we change it, by understanding that this change in us has to be only by resembling the Creator as it is not that I want to change my state myself, as I am at a beast, but I will feel it more convenient. But that I want my attitude to the Creator, my thought, my intention to the Creator. To change that where I feel that he caused this evil that I will feel that he causes good. I want to change my attitude to him and that is what I asked for first of all. Then what do I see? I see that my enemy here is my ego, telling me that I want to rule, that I will rule. Like Pharaoh says, who is the Creator that I shall listen to him. That is how it is as we need to scrutinize these things constantly to reach out to the Creator and to sharpen our request to be more directed and more precise of what exactly we want.
S. All of our work is to come to a form of unification of some sort of prayer?
R. All of our work is to come to the correct prayer at the Creator will here and respond and do, this is considered that the righteous asks and the Creator responds, realizes.
41. S. (02:12:25) If you know what to do, and you're trying all the lessons long and you can't even start?
R. Try to do this together with the friends and you will see how 1 can't do it and how together even though it seems hard that it is actually easier.
S. Can I work in place of my friends?
R. Try to pull each and every friend to work together with you.
42. S. (02:13:30) Why when the Creator gives the Torah as a correction for the evil inclination that we need the prayer and to ask for correction from the Creator himself?
R. That includes in the same request from the Creator to us that we will use what was given to us, the will to receive, it’s shattering, the feeling of the world in our lives as shattered. This is directly from nature and in addition he gives us the method of spiritual life which is revealed to us and is called Torah, that we will use it correctly, that we will raise ourselves from the shattered state to the corrected state. That he made this corruption on purpose so that we will ask for him for corrections and through these corrections that we would constantly ask from him that we begin to know him more. That is the cause for the shattering and the only reason for the shattering so that we will feel that I am dependent upon Him and that I demand from Him, having no choice but to demand from Him. Then he will find himself as wanting to help, as the good that does good and then we will have a connection. If I fall behind, if I am lazy, He awakens me through suffering and then again I feel that I depend upon Him reaching out to Him and if I let go of Him when I encounter all kinds of difficulties through which I find I have no choice and I have to reach out to the Creator. This is how it works. This plan, this program can't change as it stems from the beginning of creation that connects us to all of the distance, the breaking, the corruptions and the corrections that this initial thought as we learn in one thought everything was created and this thought includes everything. All of our work, all of our reward is to come to the end, the end of the act starts with the intention.
Excerpt 27 (02:16:53 - 02:18:09)
43. R. We need unity, connection to bring the shattered vessels to a single mutual desire so we need the upper light that will show us how to do this because we are not capable, we don't know what it is or how it happens as it is only the upper light through its special actions, one unique and unified, that we can connect the different desires, completely different. He can connect them above the differences and by that we reach a state of corrections. With that we are done with the intention that we need to have before the study of TES. We will continue more with it but mainly we will start learning TES from tomorrow. I recommend everyone to attend the lessons and not like I see that those are here that come once a week and then they ask me is it okay or not?
44. S. (02:19:43) As the Shatz, I am responsible for keeping the spiritual unity in the group. How can I do that?
R. To hold onto connection in the group is mainly if you are in constant concern for unity to awaken others for unity. So engage in that and awaken the others to the unity and also yourself you join as well. Don't be above them but to be one of them, to awaken unity. Unity is that everyone is not different, but that everyone is equal, there will be a connection on a single plane, try and see how by that you feel and attain.
45. S. (02:21:05) By us being Incorporated in one desire through this we are included by the desire of the upper?
R. That we bestow one upon the other without any limits and then by that we can be connected between us even though we are all different but that we can be connected with the Creator because we have only the inclination of bestowal.
46. S. (02:21:55) I am trying to understand what is meant here. He says the main thing of unity and love is the desire to satisfy his friends and that there is no change of desire between them. What does this mean?
R. Everyone is included in the same desire as we all have a desire from the Creator, the Creator created a point that is different from him. We don't know what that is or what it means, we will look at it later on. Through this point of difference he gives his qualities. This is why through this point we become opposite from him. Then even though we are opposite of him, that we are opposite in the same way from each other, so if we want to connect above our ego and faith above reason then by that we connect ourselves and we resemble the Creator, we begin to correct ourselves in this way.
S. So how can you explain that place even in Israel that are under emergency inside your country so how can you explain such a thing there is no desire to be in disparity of from between people how can you explain such a thing?
R. That there is no worse state or worse desire, no worse people than those who are called being part of the nation of Israel, and the land of Israel.
S. Can we change that?
R. We can change that through the light that reforms.
S. Only Bnei Baruch?
R. Yes.
47. S. (02:23:57) In the last two verses we heard that the light is actually what changes the desire to receive and also the last verse spoke about Arvut, do I need to see myself as not standing up to these conditions in the current state where change is not by Torah but by things that are pointed to the opposite?
R. Yes, that is called recognition of evil, that you are not successful, reach out to the Creator to help you be successful as there is nothing else. What we have left to do now is to do a summary of the lesson and how we prepare ourselves for corrections that these corrections come through Torah, that way start studying TES correctly.
