Part 1:

Arvut on the Way to Lishma - Selected Excerpts from the Sources

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vODJIXiIEriSkrVDlPjgFtLmyzHlFUUaAUfcKR_3sxc/edit

1. Rav’s Introduction: Yes when we look at the articles that Baal HaSulam wrote the Arvut, mutual guarantee, article is the fundamental article and indeed it does not initially seem to us like that so much. What is in the Arvut, this mutual guarantee, mutual responsibility? But after the article of giving of the Torah immediately comes this articles the mutual guarantee article and indeed if we want to implement the giving of the Torah, meaning what the Torah was given to us for meaning this entire system of knowledge about the Creator so we need a device, an instruments by which we can connect to the Creator and this is already the Arvut, so the mutual guarantee is the special main device in order to reach Lishma. This is why we should now talk about it a little bit more in order to come back to this topic and strengthen it in us and maybe to progress one more step towards it, towards Lishma.

Reading 1 (01:48) twice: “Our sages said let all your actions…”

2. R. (3:32) This means that there is nothing else to think about, there is nothing else in which we need to correct and direct ourselves only that through this we do the same work that the Creator does and by this we become adhered to Him. To benefit others, to connect between us and to bestow as much as possible each one of us and all of us together so that the Creator would see, meaning according to the laws of nature he would clothe in us and will bestow together with us, through us all the part of creation so that it would connect together in mutual bestowal and then we would again reach a single creation. That’s it, I have nothing else to say.

3. S. (4:43) To bestow it is clear, it’s something I do outwards but to benefit another, how do I do that?

R. When you understand what it means to benefit all the others, everything that exists around you, to reach the purpose of creation and as much as you are capable of it you have to do it, this is a commandment from the source of creation.

S. How to know what is beneficial to the other or what is considered a benefit to them?

R. Connection, the whole of creation started from the shattering of Adam HaRishon so you have to perform the opposite action to gather this vessel together. There is nothing else to do but only to connect everybody to bring everybody to adhesion.

S. And it is speaking only about the actions that I make towards connection or is it talking about that all the actions that I do need to be under the umbrella of connection?

R. Yes, that all of your actions, your thoughts, your desires, everything needs to be inside the act of connection, only that way.

4. S. (6:12) What does it mean not to do anything that does not bring to adhesion, how should we aim our entire life in that way?

R. How to make it so all of your action would be for the sake of heaven and for no other purpose? It is possible only if you are truly in that and you are occupied only with that, and you have no action or thought or desire that is different. So how to do this? You have to think about it all the time and not you alone on your own but you also have a society around you which is around you and they are acting on your mind and heart so that you feel how much they are all in the same direction as you and together you are holding each other and you are focused into the same direction and then very quickly you can reach Lishma, for her name, it all depends on the connection

S. Turns out that all those thoughts, deeds, desires are simply taking on such a form of the quality of bestowal or do I purify something that does not belong to that?

R. Both this way and that way, the most important is that we continue all the time, all the time. That we realize that in our work we constantly rise to degrees of emotions towards mutual guarantee, connection and coming closer more and more therefore this sensitivity to how much we are coming closer, how close we are to the Creator, how much we are directed towards Him. This sensitivity it is like when we work with some instruments that the higher the sensitivity it seems to us that we did not do anything but we are growing further away from the goal but it is the opposite we are shifting from one sensitivity to a second sensitivity one degree to the next and therefore this is how it turns out for us that even though we appear to be distancing even like the students of Rabbi Shimon who want to punch and kill each other we realize that all of these things are happening because we are rising on the degrees of sensitivity of the connection between us.

5. S. (9:32) When I give Arvut, mutual guarantee, with the group, what should I expect from the friends as far as Arvut towards me?

R. That we strengthen each other and that it is impossible to perform any action here that will not be towards connection, towards the center of our connection. We cannot perform any action that is not for connection and in such a way reach such a quality where we will no longer feel ourselves as individual but rather bit by bit we will start to feel ourselves that we are becoming one man in one heart. A single desire, a single intention, a single thought, and there is no difference between us even though in between we also will receive between us the feeling of distancing, the feelings of rejection and it is all in order to detect between us that there is still a place left for correction and connection. This is how we need to advance.

6. S. (11:26) I read this text during the day and I became truly frozen from it. I do not know if I am praying for the friends next to me, to the Creator and in such a state, what does it mean to benefit for the sake of the Creator to do good to the others, to do for the sake of the Creator?

R. You have to bring everybody to connection, all the friends with the Creator, that is all. Accordingly, all the work is simple, it is not spread into many directions and many actions and there are not many calculations here. It is simply to gather everybody together into single circle and to attach everybody to each other

S. In the meetings with the ten and all throughout the day we are doing everything for the sake of the Creator.

R. Ok so try to check whether you can improve this inclination towards connection more and more and even more to aim everything for the sake of the Creator which means that everybody will connect together between them and in the Creator, there are no other actions but only towards that. In that we return to the same point from which creation started.

7. S. (13:29) It says let all your actions be for the sake of the Creator. What does he mean by all and what does he mean by actions?

R. Yes, try to do it this way, to make a calculation and an intention, a plan, that every action that you do, even the smallest one, will be connected and aimed to a single action. That everybody would connect together between them and with the Creator

S. Thank you how to do this during the day? Let's say we have some work to do so how to do this, can you give some advice?

R. First of all keep thinking about this all the time until it enters the back of your brain, until it enters the back of your brain at the back and then you simply constantly think along with all the actions that you are doing all the time and you can work in all kinds of different work and engage in different things but together with that you also connect whatever you do in your daily work with this goal that you want to connect everyone together and with the Creator. This is your role, through the point in your heart, through your heart to connect everybody to the Creator and then in the end it will end up that we have an integral vessel where all the points will gather and connect into one and each connect to the Creator together. This is called adhesion or attachment.

8. S. (16:10) Should all the ten come together in the mutual guarantee or can a few friends come at the beginning and the rest of the friends can follow later?

R. Yes, it doesn't have to be together. Each one helps his friend that each one pulls, through the point in his heart, everybody to the connection between them and to the Creator and then it turns out that from the source of creation we are all very different. Each one comes from a different Reshimo, a different record, so we just need to make the effort to create the connection between us and from us to the Creator but in which form it will come together in the end; meaning, how the system of Adam HaRishon will be revealed to us we do not know that but we will see the way it will be revealed.

9. S. (17:48) So what is complete adhesion, one that gives effort everyday more and more and we feel, like you said a moment ago, that we are not doing enough. So what is the complete Dvekut?

R. Meaning that in the end apparently this is what we achieve at the end of correction. There is nothing more to attain only to bring our broken vessel to be a corrected vessel to collect all of the broken parts, broken pieces into a single system.

S. So the correction of the shattering is at the end of the path not right now, at this moment?

R. Of course we have to crave for it from the beginning. Even now we have to see more or less where we are going to reach.

10. S. (18:52) The question I wanted to ask is about the mutual guarantee, the inner parts inside of me. How do I bring the parts in me from the young group with all kinds of nonsense in my head, you don’t know who your ten is going to be etc. where with the world Kli I know that there are a lot more parts in me that I want to incorporate with it. How do I do that with the group that is young and the feeling is that certain people do not feel it, meaning the parts of me that do not feel it. I know that my prayer is to be a guarantor in the world vessel so how can we each do that for one self?

R. You have to think how to keep the commandment. It is worthwhile to read the article again and you will see what it means mutual guarantee and how much we are guarantors and responsible for each other, how much we depend on each other, and then by that we shift from states where we reject each other to caring for each other and we think and all the time we check how much we are correcting the distance between us into nearing and this way more and more so much so that simply it is impossible to grow distant from each other. It is impossible to grow farther away but the opposite, where we need to feel all the time how much, not that we are simply connecting with each other but more and more we are getting closer to each other. This is what we constantly check and measure and care for, how much we can constantly be in closing and closing that place and the distance between us.

S. So I can also raise a personal prayer for the personal parts in me that need to be aimed towards the group?

R. Yes.

11. S. (21:25) What should my first step be on my behalf towards mutual guarantee?

R. The first step towards Arvut, mutual guarantee, should be in that you take it upon yourself to be responsible for everybody. That the entire group, at least the ten or the entire BB organization depends on you, it is under your control and you are obligated from above from the Creator to constantly hold them together like a kindergarten teacher taking care and holding the group of children that she is taking care of and then you are truly concerned about it.

12. S. (22:41) Can we say that we will never be able to come to a complete connection, but we forever yearn for complete connection?

R. No, we do have to reach a complete connection, this is the purpose of creation and we do reach it at the end as it was in the beginning by the power of the Creator so it will also later on; however, by our own power together with the power of the Creator, this is why we reach a connection which is 620 times greater than the way it was before in the first system before the shattering and we have to behave this way that we are yearning towards that connection where the Arvut between us includes in it all the elements and individuals in our shattering. That despite the shattering we take each and every element, every individual also enters into the mutual guarantee and we tie them all together and we make all the pluses and minuses all the contradicting parts and forces and also those that are connected we put all of them together and then we reach the complete correction.

13. S. (24:42) Can I say that to give is to bring people closer to the Creator?

R. Of course it is each and everybody from his internal point, from his individual shattering by being disconnected from everybody else each and everybody has to connect himself to all the other vessels and to elevate this deficiency to the Creator so that the Creator will connect him with all the vessels and with the Creator himself.

14. S. (25:55) The prayer that you feel towards the friends, when we feel rejection, can we somehow understand this also as part of bestowal?

R. Yes, of course. The rejection shows you how much you are not connected but now you have the opportunity to connect again. We have to understand that all of the negative states are simply revelation of what we have to do. It is not that they come to begin with in order to repel us but it is the opposite to show us where we can add forces and connect and discover the Creator in the connection.

15. S. (26:37) How to prepare ourselves to the lesson in a way that we are responsible for the whole world?

R. What to say, how can I say this? Maybe each and everybody has his own style and Rabash writes about that. I think that person has to prepare himself in advance and it is also written that we have to get up a little bit earlier ahead of time, we have to think about this and we need to pray, to connect with the friends, to check the system. We need to pray to connect with the friends, to check the system within and without for the lesson itself and then you will see how much the Creator is helping you and arranging for you the situation.

16. S. (27:48) What is the most important action in the mutual guarantee?

R. It is the prayer, a prayer, there is nothing more than that. Everything that we can attain and achieve in the end is all concentrated in the prayer to the Creator that you create a connection between us as it was before creation as we say Barr, outside, that it came out and was broken and it will return once again into the same adhesion, all of us together as one man with one heart, come back to a point.

17. S. (28:29) Does it all include actions like prayer or does it always include actions like faith?

R. No if I wants to be connected in heart and soul with all of the created beings or at least I established it in my group then I already have no incidental actions where I do not control anything, I control our connection in the Ten I see the whole world also enters and belongs to the same Ten bit by bit this is what we discover.

18. S. (29:18) Can we say that the intention of our action towards the friends is our action to the Creator ?

R. Yes, there is no difference between bestowing to the Creator and bestowing to the created being, it is just that the created beings are closer to my senses, my understanding, and my actions. This is why it is written that to love people to the love of the Creator. In truth there is no difference again we connect into a single system where the Creator is the totality and the friends are incorporated in him.

19. S. (30:13) I wanted to talk about the gradual aspect of this process called Arvut . It seems that through the years these excerpts throughout the years these excerpts through the years articles about Arvut take on much greater depth and color?

R. Of course because this is a topic we start with and in it we also finish everything because all of the work is inside the Arvut.

S. I noticed that I am not thinking all day long about Arvut, I am thinking about connection and working with the friends so what is Arvut, is it a goal? Is it an action?

R. Arvut is the incorporation of everyone in everyone so much so that it is impossible to perform any action, even the smallest one, not go over everyone and it depends on everyone and is realized in everyone. This is called Arvut. How else can I say this? Through discrete actions we reach actions that are integral or continuous. Yes, that is the Arvut.

S. Meaning actually the Arvut is a sort of goal. It is kind of like a lighthouse that we are being drawn towards but all the actions that we do along the way as we learn, connection, in the Ten, nullification with the friends or the actions that we do.

R. Yes, because in the end all of these actions are in order to bring us into a connection in which none of us exists separately but rather we become so infused in everyone that it becomes like a fluid when there is no difference between any drop to another and they all become a single drop.

S. Is there a certain sign that we reached Arvut, or I reached Arvut?

R. The signs along the way are that we feel these connections, so much so that I no longer distinguish between me and you and the others and we all return to become as a single Adam, as a single man. This one Adam following the shattering is not the same that was before the shattering, because before the shattering nevertheless He had all of the parts , Rosh, Tof, Sof , male and female, all kinds of things after the corrections of the shattering we reach at state which is like the Creator. Where in this perception there is no Rosh, Tof, Sof , or different parts but rather instead all of it as one

20. S. (34:13) How can the Ten sign a covenant of Arvut with the Creator?

R. To the extent that we between us want to be in Arvut we discover which connection with the Creator we need to be in order to keep the Arvut between us. First we build the Arvut between us, between the friends and we need to keep it. We have to keep it and then turn to him and obligate him to be between us the force that is the guarantor.

21. S. (38:10) What should be my attitude in the lesson to the friend? What is my service? How can I serve the friends during the lesson?

R. You have to show them how much you yearn Arvut for connection, that this is actually that law of all of humanity, the whole one Kli as everything that is below the degree of humanity, meaning animal, vegetative, and inanimate, the still, It all returns to one system. If today we were already coming to a connection on the degree of the speaking and the degree of Adam then we see such changes in the whole universe ,in the whole of nature, when everything connects to a single system and without any explosions in one harmony all the still, vegetative, and animal with the speaking would connecting and supporting another, and a wolf would live with a lamb. All of creation would be in one harmony. We need to aim to make it so that the connection between us in Arvut would bring the whole of creation, not just us, to search a complete whole system and it will be. There are records for this, and forces are operating in that direction. Through our participation we can actually bring all of this closer towards it, it all only on us.

S. My action in the lesson should be to raise MAN for friends.

R. For the sake of the friends so that all the friends will enter into Arvut together with us as a partner and by that we are raising all of creation, still, vegetative, animate and speaking and all the whole universe. The whole world and the whole universe to one connection and then the Creator is revealed in that harmony as the one force that drives it all and manages it all?

22. S. (41:22) How can we face the demands of the material world when we're living in this world and these demands break down and the Importance we want to give to the connection with our friends?

R. Maybe I cannot explain it at the moment, but we will discover the extent to which this whole shattering is adapted to the correction. That all that is being revealed and disclosed in us is all only according to do those actions, orders that we need to connect and correct and by that we eventually place ourselves at the center of creation as a force that corrects, prayers, and causes the correction. It is all connected in such a way. Also during the shattering we will learn this a little more. To the extent that all the shattered vessels fall during the shattering. Everything that was above is falling lower downwards and therefore in such a way that we correct the vessels from the light to the heavy, we bring back all the creation, back to the opposite direction. Whatever fell down, rises upwards. This is why when we correct ourselves, we are correcting the whole of creation. It turns out that we, human beings, include in us all of the still, vegetative, and animal of creation, also the entire speaking variety. We are the highest and if we correct ourselves we will see how all human beings will also become corrected. It is already also being revealed more and more, to the extent in which those people that have a tendency for or an association with the correction of the will receive, to the extent in which they are responsible for the whole world to be corrected. Whereas if those people who have an association with the will to receive, will correct themselves and come closer towards corrections, then certainly many people in the world will feel that they belong to this and they come closer to and they want to correct themselves with us. That is why many people in this world feel that the key for the correction of the world is in us and we are to blame for the corruption of the world, and this is how we correct the system .

23. S. (45:22) How does this Arvut work towards the external world? Should we demonstrate it anyway towards people on the outside?

R. No, we do not need to show the world we are concerned with Arvut, and we have to bring them Arvut. They would not understand this, and they will not understand you. They will think that you are not so settled in your mind and maybe your mental wellbeing. We need to perform the correction between us and on ourselves and to see to what extent this influences and bestows upon the whole world. We will see all the ramifications and how it will reflect from our corrections upon the whole world to the extent that the whole world will start to feel more and understand more and be more corrected. To talk about it is not worthwhile. We can write about it, there are many such who write, so we write about it also. I do not think that somebody will pay attention to it or take it seriously, but it is not that we are advertising it forcefully or coercively.

S. How to distinguish this action? In our dissemination we do write about it as you said. We publicize our opinion and our intentions, what is the difference between how we publicize something and somebody's working?

R. Do not worry, what you're talking about, who hears and who sees, everyone understands it according to the level of corruption and correction he has. Therefore, without being too worried about it ,you do what depends on you and how you think it should be done and that is it. It will work out. Eventually the Creator will cover it all.

24. S. (48:14) I feel all concerned here but should I do what actions I have to do in order to come to Arvut against these concerns?

R. Everything is resolved in the Arvut because in the Arvut you will feel the Creator the central force of all of creation. Therefore if you connect to the Arvut and you want to reveal in it the Creator, I think you will discover this very quickly. At least to the extent it will calm and will draw you onwards toward even a more truthful Arvut and more central Arvut where you reveal this formula Israel, the light, and the Creator are one. Meaning whoever is drawn towards Arvut by the force of bestowal and love of others comes to the revelation of the Creator and all are together.

25. S. (49:54) What does it mean to make corrections such that they change the picture of the world?

R. Connection there is nothing more than that. The Creator established this system in an ideal finite way manner from above from himself so that he can give us a way to place this system in return in a complete, whole way. Just like by blocks or Legos or puzzles for children and then we want them to connect it, to reconnect it, because by doing so they will become wiser. This is it, this is our work because through this we start to understand the parts of creation, how they connect, how there is the intention of the Creator in this, why he did this specifically in an opposite way and how can always go from the shattered state to the whole state and how to reveal through that the help of the Creator to help us where there is some stage along the way that we are not capable of carrying out on our own but rather we must be assisted with help the Creators and so on.

26. S. (51:42) In the Arvut the relations between us are manifested in a way that it is all equal and in a circle or are we on a ladder where you have bigger or smaller friends?

R. Yes, it changed because we are constantly building an integral Ten in which each and every one of us presents a certain different quality in creation. Therefore each time we note even more, if you pay attention to this, that it's his one, then about this one and then about the other one and then it mixes more, and we start to attribute it to a certain friend but rather to certain qualities. This is something which we have yet to see. We are now entering into actions that will see them as how to say this, as actions, as integral actions.

27. S. (54:15) Our progress to the quality of Arvut be expressed in the world peace or only how we perceive the friends?

R. Both, if that is what we want to bind ourselves together in our state, in our degree as the Last generation, this operates upon all of reality, upon all of humanity, upon the whole universe, upon all of the galaxies. It sorts all of the forces of nature in additional balance on all the levels, on all the degrees and we need to see results from this. If we were to connect, let's say to a certain extent to a certain degree then under that degree everyone will connect in the same forces and with the same attitude, the way of relating to it, just like how we do. This is why we need to see to a certain extent that we are responsible for this.

28. S. (54:48) In the Ten we should all reach Arvut simultaneously or maybe some friends will come there earlier?

R. We cannot define at what level and what force in the Ten that each one has to be with because each of us is according to his own spiritual root, this is we do not know. Hence, we must awaken each other, like a Ten that is sitting in one ship and is making sure that the ship will reach the shore of safety. This is it. This is why only in support in Arvut, meaning to manage our ship that way and this is how it will work out.

29. S. (55:55) Earlier you touched a very special point I wanted to know if you can elaborate a bit you said that we are different today from the Adam that was prior to the shattering the breakage how are we different from that Adam that was before the shattering, how are we different from this prior to the shattering?

R. That the entire connection that we had prior to the shattering will be revealed now in a negative way, in distancing, rejection, hatred and repulsion and we need to gradually correct this. People who nevertheless have a tendency for order of the world come to us and discover that they have a point in the heart as we call it. Meaning a point of connection. Then this is how we learn how to make this happen, prolonged work, it is not simple work, but we are already in the last stages. We have yet to see how day to day, this tendency for connection and corrections is going to be revealed more and more and it will become clearer in the fact that it is suddenly something that has to be carried out for everybody in the world, it is through Wars and all kinds of problems, through the world crisis that is advancing towards us in all kinds of ways. This is all in order for us to understand the extent in which the connection between is the remedy for all the states in the world

30. S. (58:03) You spoke about forces that exist at the same level of connection, so we contact those forces of nature that all the system embraces; however does this happen only to us that disseminate or gives chance to people we come in contact with or interface too?

R. Repeat please.

S. We are on the same level of connection. We can connect forces of nature, and this allows us to do a major impact on people or also an answer to people who receive our work. It becomes more simple with less friction between those forces.

R. Just ask briefly. Ask the question in a short concise manner.

S. Forces that we connect how our work from one side but also the person that we disseminate to give us an opportunity to give and feel this receive this message in an easier way?

R. Maybe, someone else can translate?

S. The forces that we connect with nature or talk about our dissemination and the people that we disseminate to?

R. Certainly we are constantly in a round system that connects everyone to everyone. Therefore in both our good deeds and our bad deeds and things that we understand or do not understand are correct and corrupt. We perform changes in the entire system to each and everyone.

31. S. (01:00:44) About the Arvut in the Ten, I detect, I recognize friends who for a longtime have concern and responsibilities towards the Ten towards awakening it and caring for the friends however I also detect that it doesn't always bring them joy, it brings them frustration and sorrow from this responsibility and this constant concern that they have in their heart. How can we make it so that Arvut will be pleasant?

R. We need to see in this Arvut salvation personally, general, global and on all kinds of levels economically, health wise, ecology, environmental, all kinds of things. We do not need to wait for additional blows, it is enough what we have. We already need to identify as it is written 'a wise man his eyes are in his head' that we are before a tsunami that can come to us and truly washes off. We need to see the extent of the connection between us, we need to stop this tsunami and not let it come closer. That is what we need to talk about because only the connection between us that unity between us is capable of being as a shield against all those waves that are coming our way. Nature and God in Gematria, is nature, the numerical value being nature, is starting to bring us proof that it is worthwhile for us to bow down and accept its authority and its control upon us.

S. How can we do this bowing down? We are made from a different nature. How can we make it so that we will be happy with it? That we will feel the responsibility towards the whole world or even that my Ten will come to me with happiness and not as a burden with feeling unpleasantness from this great responsibility?

R. On the one hand, I would say it is not so difficult because we need to advertise to ourselves and to everyone that's connection of the forces of integral, natural forces are the most powerful and can take us out of all the issues. This is what we need to disseminate. It is nothing more than a general force that we are trying to see. that Nature as one force that is operating. I don't know I don't really have the words.

32. S. (01:04:26) To continue this, you explain today a few times that the connection between us and that the effort between us in the Ten, penetrates all the levels of nature, the whole of creation really. Is it correct to aim ourselves in the connection in the Ten as though in the Ten we can actually correct the world or a certain impression for the world so that the Ten is a place where we can have such an intention to correct everything that is happening in the world? Can we have such a thought?

R. Well of course in the Ten we correct the world. Look at how everything in the world depends on a person. Moreover in spirituality, in all of the spiritual worlds it all depends on the spiritual Adam.

S. This means that we need to some extent you become more incorporated in the general process with everything that is happening and bring it to us to the Ten? The Ten becomes like a womb of the corrected world of the problems of the world?

R. Exactly, exactly, we need to see how through the connection between us we are including within us all the people of the world and they begin to be impregnated in us and we raise them, grow them, and they are born from us in a higher spiritual degree than they are today. Where we raise ourselves to a higher spiritual degree. Then we also draw them after us and they're born at a higher spiritual degree. This is how it happens all over the world.

33. S. (01:06:27) How can I see that the whole world belongs to the Ten?

R. We need to talk about this more maybe, but there's nothing that you can do. It is a matter that all the Tens are arranged in such a way, like a pyramid and we need to raise our pyramid in the highest possible way and after that others will come, and you will see this.

S. Our motivation to implement the Arvut should be because we understand it? These are the actions that actually correct the world outside of the Ten?

R. Yes

S. What is the difference between the motivation coming from the correction of the world or that this is the motivation coming from the Creator?

R. There is this and that. There are people that correct the world through a physical action and a technical action, scientific action, spiritual etc. each has his part.

S. I mean when I go through the Ten and I want to implement. I want to realize and implement the Arvut. I should explain to myself or arrange it so that this is what gives contentment to the Creator?

R. Certainly that is for sure. Yes ,because it is close to the corrected state.

34. S. (01:08:05) The Arvut in the Ten you said that we seemingly all dissolve in this in our common field in the Ten, how does this field connect to the general system of Adam HaRishon where is our part in it or are we just a small part in this vast system?

R. I can understand you.

S. Our Arvut in the Ten when we are guarantors for each other, when we dissolve in each other in our common connection, where does all of this exist in relation to the general system of Adam HaRishon of all the souls?

R. You will see this later, for the time being we can depict it as being in the center in a central action of the whole Kli of Adam HaRishon.

Excerpt 2 (01:09:47) “If they keep the Arvut to the point that each one cares.." (Twice)

35. S. (01:10:49) If each one is busy fulfilling his own needs, how could he be responsible for the Ten or even the whole world?

R. No, if he observes the Arvut ,he has to be in a state of concern for everyone. So what is Arvut considered? I care for the observance of the Arvut but in this Arvut I care for the whole ten. That I am keeping it, it's correct. It is like a mother who cares for the many children she has, yes? So she has a problem. She cares for everyone; everyone is inside her heart.

S. What about her caring for herself? Is it for her to have the strength to care for everyone ?

R. Yes yes…

36. S. (01:11:15) What does it mean that I need to satisfy all the needs of the friends? The Creator does not fulfill all these needs?

R. Not only does he care for the connection between us but to give us conditions in which we will implement the connection. Therefore I need to care about how I connect the friends together. That is my concern and when I care for this I can ask for the Creator.

37. S. (01:12:40) Is everything in reality is something from the Ten?

R. It all belongs to the Ten only we do not yet see this.

38. S. (01:13:19) What kind of needs can we help the friends to fulfill?

R. Everything. Everything that has to do with connection.

39. S. (01:13:25) We just heard a new definition for us, that the Ten is as a system built like a pyramid. Can you explain a bit more about what that means?

R. Not now, think about yourself.

40. S. (01:13:59) Please tell me these words that we need to fully observe the Torah and mitzvot, what does it mean to keep it in full?

R. Those who are capable of reaching the final connection.

S. Another point, to bring contentment to our maker, the fact that a person feels that he's giving consent to the creator doesn't he become a slave in start such a stage?

R. That is the whole matter of connection and bestowal in spirituality. You are not a servant but rather you are a lord, it's like the host and the guest. Do you remember the example? The guests even though he receives everything from the host but because the host expects so greatly for the guest to enjoy from him it becomes the other way. He becomes dependent on the guest. The host becomes dependent on the guest. This is written, it is called 'I've been sold alongside with her.' That is what the Creator says.

S. Meaning that it is a definitive sign that the Ten works and bestowal?

R. Yes.

41. S. (01:15:59 ) What is the reason that we do not ask a lot about Arvut?

R. Because we do not want it.

42. S. (01:16:02) How can we speak in the Ten about how to help each other to add in Arvut? What agreements can we reach? There is a feeling that there are organizational aspects that we haven't agreed on and disturbs our work a lot. How can we check that correctly?

R. I think it should be different that from our inner connection our changes will come and new connections and a physical manner between us. First of all we have to correct ourselves from within, then we will know how to protect ourselves externally.

43. S. (01:16:49) It is clear that the Creator does not want to feel bad but in the end I feel bad. Who is that that feels bad?

R. That is something you should open to yourself on your own.

44. S. (01:17:16) What is the spiritual root of every person?

R. The spiritual root of every person is in the Creator.

45. S. (01:17:22) Is the correcting game engagement of love of friends that which fills the Torah and the Mitzvot?

R. Yes, what does that mean to fulfill the Torah and the Mitzvot? It means to keep the connections between us to fulfill them. "Love your friend as yourself' is a great rule of the Torah. You can only observe it by the light that reforms and that's what we do.

46. S. (01:17:54) Integral actions occur during our life. Is that what you meant by integral actions?

R. No, I do not want to confuse you, during the life cycle of life? No.

41. S. (01:18:11) Can we say that Arvut equals going out of Egypt? Leaving Egypt?

R. Arvut begins even before one comes out of Egypt and it is realized from the exodus from Egypt and on and its next degree is the parting of the Red Sea and reception of the Torah, Etc. These are all degrees of additional connection and determining the mutual guarantee with all the people that came out of Egypt.

42. S. (01: 19:19) Egoistic Arvut, can that be an obstacle on the spiritual path?

R. Of course, yes.

43. S. ( 01: 19:38) Baal HaSulam gives a clear instruction to care about the Arvut by filling the deficiency of the friends but when we do it in practice we see how everyone has a different attitude towards that action, how can we rise above the real opposites between us because we are really different?

R. That is when you come closer to the state like the students of Rabbi Shimon, they wanted to kill each other. How come they wanted to kill each other? Because each one understood these things in the opposite way, it was a true ideological war. Just like in our ways, in the Torah when we speak about wars it is always ideological wars.

44. S. ( 01:20:44) Can you say that through the Arvut we become workers of the Creator?.

R. Yes. to the extent that we keep the Arvut, we become servants of the Creator.

45. S. (01:20:58) How does the connection between us come out and act in humanity in that system?

R. We are connected to the same system just like all of humanity and because we are the internal parts of humanity that are concerned about connection between us, this is why in our actions of connection we bestow upon the entire humanity. It is not yet clear to us but that is what is being revealed, it is gradually being revealed.

46. S. (01:21:42) How can we connect an internality of what is happening in my day-to-day reality to the Ten? It seems to be two things that are disconnected from each other.

R. One affects the other, we do not need to worry about that. All we have to worry about is how much we come closer to each other

47. S. (01:22:08) What does it mean that each one has their own spiritual root and how does that influence the connection in the group?

R. Each one has a point in the heart which is disconnected from others, that we need to make connections between the points in the hearts.

48. S. (01:22:38) How can we hold the feeling of responsibility and care for the Ten during the day and be concerned only about that?

R. Think more about it, speak more about it, mention this to each other, remind each other and I hope it will happen.

49. S. (01:23:11) What does it mean the wolf shall dwell with the lamb if the lamb is the food of the wolf by nature?

R. The wolf shall dwell with the lamb means that the wolf doesn't want to eat the lamb anymore and wants to live with it together as two friends.

50. S. (01:23:24) We in the Ten scrutinize excerpts, does it bring us to equivalence of form with the Creator?

R. Yes, specifically that brings us closer.

51. S. (01:23:54) Can the Ten enter spirituality if not everyone within themselves is ready to be a mutual Arvut between them all?

R. Yes. Yes.

52. S. (01:24:16) If a friend says that the friends in the Ten do not exert towards her enough and this disturbs her and keeps her from coming closer to spirituality can that be thought of as a spiritual desire? How can the group feel it? Could it be that the group does not let one of the friends in the Ten develop?

R. In each and every group, each one can find herself, what to do and how to have sufficient work in order to reach her personal end of correction.

53. S. (01:25:01) You said that we do not need to discuss Arvut among women, with people because they will think that we are not too good in the head so what does it mean in relation to dissemination?

R. Ask again.

S. You said that we do not mean to discuss Arvut with external people because they will think that we are not okay in the head so what does that mean and two terms of dissemination.

R. In dissemination we are talking about something that is relevant to the whole world. We are not talking about internal work to a person. We are saying that the correction of the world depends on people's connection and no one can say that we are wrong, from the perspective of the organization, the human perspective and also physiologically and psychologically, yes.

54. S. (01:26:24) Arvut and the covenant are they different concepts?

R. No, Arvut and covenant are almost the same concepts. " and to say that you have made a covenant with him means that they agree on the rules of the Arvut between them.

55. S. (01:27:29) Arvut is something that we give to each other, or do we need to request it from the Creator?

R. We should feel how much we are missing that and to ask it from the Creator.

S. I feel in this society there are a lot of Arvut, things I see with my eyes, and it is also felt in this inner effort in trying to reach Arvut between each other, so I don't really feel what is lacking but we need to put our finger on right now?

R. You just need to understand one thing, do you want to feel the entire creation?

S. Yes.

R. and that the Creator feels it?

S. Yes.

R. Then you are missing nothing but the Arvut with your friends.

S. I can say that many times I feel parts of that

R. Yes and?

S. The question is that it is not really clear where we can increase it. It feels like everyone's giving their heart and soul, the friends are ready for everything, they ask for you, maybe it is not 24/7. I don't know maybe we could check it in terms of time, but it is not so clear where I can come to the friends and say we need more Arvut, we don't have Arvut .We have read all of these excerpts and we feel that people are living it, so what do we lack?

R. We lack the feeling of how much we need additional vessels that are in our friends. When all of these vessels can accumulate in each and everyone.

S. How do we reach that feeling of that need?

R. Imagine to yourself that if you could, you would see all the entire reality in you.

S. I have to go around with the feeling that I lack something all of the time?

R. Yes of course, as an old man who lost something and he is bent down.

S. That is what I lack, what do I give them?

R. Who?

S. The friends?

R. You do not need to worry about what you're giving to your friends. They also need that lack. They will feel it from you.

S. All of us in the Ten need to go around with a feeling that I want to have another Kli for this?

R. Deficiencies for the friends yes, desires of the friends, yes. I want to receive these desires for my friends in order to fulfill them along with them.

56. S. (01:30:49) About the Arvut in the Ten, can there be different degrees of Arvut in the Ten? Where for some people it is 90%, and for another it is 10% or do we need to get mutual Arvut between everyone?

R. No, no one can also measure how much Arvut Mutual has. Each one acts according to the lack of Arvut that is revealed to him

57. S. (01:31:24) Continuing on the same question, externally Arvut is expressed very strongly but there is a problem when you with your deficiency come to the friends and if you express your deficiency as if you disqualified disqualify externally, when you really want to strengthen the internality of the Arvut. How can we act correctly in order to not invite this external resistance but increase that internality?

R. I cannot depict this state that you're talking about, and I cannot answer it. Try to find the answer.

S. Now that I heard what the friend is talking about and really there is this awakening you see what is happening in the world vessel. There is this Arvut externally it is really revealed, you see it. As you say, we lack something in any case so there is the feeling that what we lack is internal and when you come to the friends, and you do something it is as if you are covering something. You come to the friends that way, externally. Why are you coming with your deficiency like this?

R. I understand but you have to work on it more. They probably do not feel your deficiency or your desire.

58. S. (01:33:41) Could we say turning to the Creator prior to my friend’s needs?

R. Arvut is when I turn to my friends in order to receive forces from them to hold myself with them and then we discover the force of the Creator and the connection between us and by that force we go forward. okay

59. S. (01:34:34) Being in the deficiency in order to reveal the deficiencies of the friends that have to come from an inner effort or does that have to be revealed among the friends?

R. No, from the inner effort.

Excerpt 3 twice (01:35:05) “Precisely through the Arvut…”

60. S. (01:36:36) What is the connection between Arvut in the ten is as if within reason. You need a hold of some kind of framework, schedule, have a certain approach?

R. Okay continue.

S. It turns out that in certain moments in certain stages you need to rise in faith above reason and it reveals in certain cases, and it’s also clear to me how we can develop faith above reason in the work of Arvut.

R. Okay.

61. S. (01:38:00) I think we understand what external Arvut is, what is internal Arvut?

R. The inner Arvut is when I don’t speak or think I feel. There's the brain the intellect and there is the heart so I feel in my heart that I am in Arvut with the friends; this means that we are inseparable. You can’t sever a heart, with a thought you can somehow divide it here and there and other thoughts will come but the heart it’s much more internal, this is why we need to understand that the Arvut has to be in a person’s heart. In connections of the hearts you become to one heart one vessel one boat and this is how we can come to the goal.

S. What is internal Arvut toward the friends?

R. It is when I, real Arvut to the friends means that I'm willing to do everything, to give them everything they require to attain the goal, and I myself am incorporated in them, that’s the only thing I do.

S. I have observed as if something external, because of all these actions that we're ready to do toward each other. What do I need to do with them internally?

R. I’m talking about the internal connection. I am talking about the internal connection and not about what you’re saying in words and in this internal connection you have to reach a state of what exists in one heart will be felt in another and that’s how it is with everyone.

62. S. (01:41:00) You said in the previous lessons that you will find the Arvut covenant on your bones. How can we do this?

R. We need to be so connected between ourselves with the Creator that we can’t prefer one part over the other meaning the friend for me and a Creator become one, and this is how we come closer to the purpose of creation. I don’t have words that much.

63. S. (01:42:12) What’s the difference between the one before the breaking and the one that we reach at the end of correction?

R. What do you mean when you say one?

S. Adam HaRishon let’s say, the connection. Adam HaRishon that was before the breaking and Adam HaRishon that we return to being at the end of correction?

R. Yes, because Adam HaRishon after the shattering and the final correction meaning the correction and the shattering reaches 620 times more than it was before the shattering.

S. Is that connected to what you said before that Adam HaRishon before the breaking had a Rosh Toch and Sof and after that he doesn’t have it?

R. After that it won’t be, it will all be one circle.

64. S. (01:43:13) What does it mean in this work of Arvut to give until the final drop of blood?

R. It’s when I have nothing left and everything I have I am incorporated in the friends taking all the tasks for them and I'm in all of them in order to keep them, that means that I'm in complete Arvut within the friends.

65. S. (01:44:20) We hear of how we go from Arvut to faith above reason or is that an opposite process?

R. [missing translation]

Item #4 (01:44:38) “The impression that comes to a person when engaging in mitzvot…” twice

Item #5 (01:46:38) “One must always pray for his friend as one cannot do much for himself...” twice

66. R. (01:47:55) This sentence seems smooth as if there’s nothing there but basically that means to us that we have nothing to care about in ourselves we have to care only for the friends and the friends for us, only this way can we help each other advance towards the purpose of creation.

Continues Item #5 (01:48:18) “...for one does not deliver oneself from imprisonment…”

67. S. (01:49:21) True Arvut can come before the end of correction?

R. No, it cannot come before the end of correction. True Arvut brings everyone to the final correction.

68. S. (01:49:43) The upper desire is the purpose of the Arvut. If we in the group want ourselves to have Arvut as a basis for day-to-day lives and we want to add a little bit more so that the upper one would be the purpose of Arvut. What can we build in our request in order that it will be our new basis?

R. Connection, there is nothing more. Arvut is mutual connection. When I care for your connection with others and with the Creator and you care for my connection with the others and the Creator, when no one cares for himself because it’s incapable, incapable. Arvut means that no one can correct himself, but each one can cause a correction in others, that’s why people are truly giving exertion throughout their entire life, and nothing works for them, it’s because they don’t feel that no one cares for himself but rather each one acts in spirituality only to the extent that he can come out of himself and help others.

S. It’s not connected to the faith above reason, or it is connected but Arvut gives us the basis for coming to faith above reason?

R. I suppose yes.

69. S. (01:51:46) Can you explain please is the prayer already Arvut or is it a Kli a vessel to awaken the Arvut?

R. A prayer is not Arvut yet rather, there has to be recognition of the deficiency in connection and then you come out to prayer. These are things that are really not simple it’s hard to talk about it because words don’t cover the feeling.

70. S. (01:52:48) It’s written here that each one works for the others until they will get an answer. What: answer is he talking about here that one should receive?

R. There's a connection between you, and in this connection the Creator is revealed. From the aspects of the Kli that reach such a connection that this vessel becomes equivalent to the light, that’s called, darkness shines like light, and in this vessel the Creator will be revealed.

71. S. (01:53:57) Our friend passed away today.

R. We don’t need to pray. You have to keep on doing your work.

72. S. (01:54:44) What does it mean that they sweeten the Arvut for each other, the responsibility for each other with their prayers?

R. Helping each other helping showing examples how we should ask and care for the friend.

73. S. (01:55:07) In the previous excerpt it’s written that a Mitzvot between a person and the Creator is the same impression like actions between the friends. What is this impression that he's talking about here?

R. That he receives certain forces. He can use them for the connection with the friends, these forces, he can receive also additional forces greater wants for connection with the Creator.

S. What are these Mitzvot between a person and the Creator in the ten that we do out of our connection?

R. There are actions which help people be connected with each other and there are actions that help the person be in connection with the Creator. Actions of connection, either between people or with the Creator, are called Mitzvot because we need it’s commanded to us, its …..to us, to stay in connection to connect one to another as it was before the shattering of this Kli of the soul of Adam HaRishon, therefore we need to reach that.

S. The actions of connection in the ten that’s clear, we care for each other, we support each other. What are actions of the connection in the ten with the Creator? What is that work?

R. Actions of connections in a ten towards the Creator is that we all connect together and wish to compliment each other so much that between us forces of mutual bestowal will reveal according to the law of equivalence of qualities.

S. But that thing is somehow concealed in our work. Maybe it’s some kind of a problem we have.

R. You don’t need to talk about that. You simply need to always think about that, is that clear?

74. S. (01:58:19) The subject is Arvut on the path to Lishma. So what should we put our focus on the Arvut in the ten or in the Arvut in whole world?

R. First Arvut with the ten that is clear and then afterwards together with the ten we want to reach Arvut with the whole world.

75. S. (01:59:15) It says in this excerpt that when we pray for our friend we get an answer quickly. It works this way many times but it’s as if there's a next step where we all have to get an answer; I'm praying for a friend I'm getting an answer. How can I make sure everyone gets an answer should they keep on praying?

R. Everyone needs to pray, everyone needs to request. When there's a deficiency, desire without a deficiency or desire, where will we get the desire?
