Article No. 2, 1988 “What Is the Extent of Teshuva [Repentance]?”
1. Rav’s Introduction: (00:32) What is the extent of repentance of Teshuva? Teshuva/repentance is what we need to do, meaning to return to adhere to the Creator as we were at the beginning of creation and to reach Dvekut, adhesion. Reaching adhesion means that we need to receive the same qualities like the Creator, how He is the good that does good to everyone to the good to the wicked. How He rules over everything and is connected to everyone thus we too need to reach such a state. That's the process we have to go through in our time, in our world, just as we are now this is what stands before us. We don't have any more than this goal and on the side of the upper force, all of nature, all of creation, it is all before us as a problem that we need to come to, solve, and enter, and it's by this that we reach the degree of the Creator and adhere to Him. Let's see what he writes. It's not a very long article but very powerful.
Reading Article No.2: (02:51) What Is the Extent of Teshuva [Repentance]?
“What is the extent of repentance, it is written return O’ Israel to the Lord your God.”
2. R.(03:04) Israel or anyone in the world that wants to reach adhesion with the Creator to come closer to Him and move closer to feel Him is called Yashar El, Israel, direct to the Creator. It's not a nation, it's not a nationality, it's simply in each and every person what's inside of him and simply people connecting to help one another and seeking how to come closer to the Creator as it's written return O’ Israel. Israel is Yashar El, direct to the Creator, one who has such an inclination to where? Unto the Lord your God.

4. S.(22:38) What does it mean on that day the Lord will be one and his name one, meaning one authority?
R. That the created beings have come to a state where they have discovered that there is but one force operating in the world which is the Creator and there is None Else Besides Him and this is called their final correction.
S. How does a person become one who has a lack because according to the root of his soul?
R. He feels that he is missing the revelation of the Creator, that he wants to attain Him, that is called his point in the heart, and if such a desire is in a person he comes to the wisdom of Kabbalah in order to realize this inner desire.
S. There's Baal Shem Tov, there's Baal HaSulam, and there's one who has the importance of the goal. The question is how will we cause each one to have such a special lack according to the root of their soul?
R. That is by us putting together, erecting groups, teaching, and a person begins to get through the study, through the society, a special illumination from above and advances in such a manner.
5. S. (25:22) It's written that a person needs to do everything in his power in order to return to his place and his root. How does a person feel that he is doing the right thing and what does it mean to return to his root? How does he feel that he is advancing towards that?
R. Our root is the Creator. He created reality, He created us, He sustains us, and advances us to the goal. Therefore we need to learn what it means to advance to the purpose of creation and what is that part in the attainment of the purpose of creation that the Creator left us and how will we observe it. That's our work.
S. Right, but how can one be sure that he's doing everything that he needs to be doing? How does he feel confident that he's advancing correctly?
R. He can't be certain. He has to constantly seek, he has to be searching all the time in which there is creation, the essence of creation, and the Kabbalist who has already attained the goal, the purpose of creation. They tell us how we too can attain and this is how we will advance. There is no other way, meaning listen to the Kabbalist and observe what they say so that we will also go in their ways.
S. If the Kabbalist is already an attainment and he feels that confidence or is he also still full of doubts?
R. The Kabbalist feels himself certain in what he attains and what he hasn't attained he's in doubts, in questions. That's how it goes.
6. S. (28:01) If the Creator illuminates the person someplace for correction and a person understands this hint from the Creator quickly and turns to Him in prayer, then the Creator immediately corrects this lack or is there additional work necessary?
R. We cannot know. We just need to do what we can with our understanding, meaning if we feel an attraction to the Creator and the purpose of creation then we need to realize what the Kabbalists tell us already. That's how it works.
7. S. (29:05) If we say that the Creator gives us an awakening, lack, what does it mean that a person continues to search for what he's lacking, meaning how not to be satisfied with little? The Creator shows him someplace of work and he says okay that's enough for me, but rather how to always be in such a search seeking? What is that dependent on?
R. The Creator who illuminates upon a person evokes in him a special desire to attain the purpose of creation and the person is drawn to that goal and until he attains it he is not calm.
S. How to not sink into this state and push forward with all of our force forward so the Creator will push man?
R. The help of the Creator depends on the society. Hence none of us on our own can reveal the Creator, to attain Him, to adhere to Him, a person is not capable of doing so. He needs to replace his nature in order to receive to in order to bestow, from reception to bestowal, to rise above his ego. He must incorporate into the society, and connect with the friends, thus to attain the desire to bestow between them, and in the desire to bestow which he attains between the friends there he goes and reveals the Creator.
8. S. (31:46) He writes here that those who want to reach adhesion with the Creator, want to reach equivalence of form, the correction is not an action but is an intention.
R. Yes.
S. Why if we want to reach adhesion he continues later to say, but then the body begins to resist their work that they want to enter correction. Why does a body oppose if correction is intention and not desire?
R. The intention is the intention of the desire. It has nothing to do with the desire. The intention is the upper part of the desire, where is my desire aimed, that's called the intention.
S. If the correction is not out of intention, then what the desire is just acting? If the correction is an action.
R. There are no corrections in actions.
S. I'm trying to ask about the difference. If we operate out of action then the body doesn't resist, right? Why not? Why doesn't it resist?
R. Because it has nothing to do with the correction of the soul.
S. Why do we try to operate out of intention and the body does resist?
R. Because it's truly against the foundation of the body, the body, the soul. I need to aim myself to bestowal to emerge out of the desire to receive and receive a desire to bestow, then I'm operating against the will of the body.
S. What exactly is resisting in the desire? Why is the desire so opposing, so resistant?
R. The desire resists because it's 100% against it. 100% against it. We can engage in all kinds of deeds and that's the problem in this world that we are all according to our words, according even to our actions, we are all capable of seeing ourselves and showing ourselves that we are okay and that we are acting in bestowal and connection, etc., but our intentions are the main thing and here we need to perform corrections.
S. If the correction of the intention causes this that the desire resists the desire doesn't have this tendency in it to return to the root as he writes in the beginning of this article? That one wants to return to his root?
R. What is to his root?
S. I don't know. To return to the root of his soul to the place from where the Creator gave him his first contact? There's nothing that's pulling you back to return to that place?
R. I don't know what that is. I only want one thing according to my character, my nature, and the way the Creator arranged my desire, I just want to fill my desire.
S. In the process of correction, we have say 100% resistance to the correction in your desire. Then what advances you? Who pushes you towards correction if you're entirely resisting it?
R. Besides that I have the point in the heart which draws me to identify with the Creator and then I'm between two forces between the will to receive which is my nature and that point which attracts me to the Creator.
S. The intensity of the point in the heart is dependent on what? That it should be stronger than the resistance to the desire?
R. To the extent in which I'm connected to the society I can increase the power of the point in the heart.
9. S. (36:41) I heard that practically we have no problem showing one another as if we're in bestowal and the problem is the correction of the intention. On the other hand in the ten, we have to play that we are loving one another and supporting one another. How does this game not just turn into something just that we do in action and help us to actually correct the intention?
R. If we're in a group that is all aimed toward the purpose of creation then all our work is how to connect between us in order to increase that inclination. That's the purpose of creation and by this, we will advance.
S. How do we not sway off the path with too many actions that ultimately won’t correct our intention?
R. What actions can we do too much?
S. Let’s say in the ten we’re playing too much externally, we love the friends, we care for them then where is my intention here how do I not sway off? I’m just focused on the actions that I'm doing?
R. If we go according to Rabash and Baal HaSulam we cannot err because they wrote to us, wrote for us, and paved the road that leads us to the purpose of creation and we can truly see how every moment along the way as we make a step forward we immediately enter a certain obstacle, and we need to scrutinize it and again do something, and we are constantly always stumbling upon resistance.
10. S. (38:53) The article talks about the soul returning to the Creator. Now regarding the work of the soul in the ten, how do we form this connection between the parts? What's happening there?
R. The soul is the Godly part from above. It is the will to receive that we want to be in intention in order to bestow and this is how we connect between us. We want to connect, we ask, we pray and this is how we put together the soul, gradually slowly slowly, it takes a long time.
S. Meaning there's some stage of the soul that’s comprised of the connection of our intentions or actually is it already the revelation of our stages of development? Can we place our finger on a point and say here is the ten that connected something called the soul together?
R. I didn't understand, again.
S. This work in the ten that occurs both in each person as an individual and the mutual common work of the ten, so what is the difference between the individual and the common work here regarding this soul?
R. we are each trying to aim ourselves to connect with the others, that all together through the connection between us we will begin to feel the force of our connection, the intensity of connection, and the inclination to incorporate one another to the extent that we will begin to feel our common desire called soul.
11. S. (41:14) What is the state called one authority?
R. One authority is only the Creator.
S. What does it mean to adhere myself to that state to that one authority when all kinds of desires awaken in me?
R. When I want that same goal as the Creator who wants to see us in.
S. This means I love my desires to nullify before the intention of bestowal and connection. That’s the one authority?
R. Yes, yes.
S. At some point we obtain His mind, His will, like one authority in our awareness?
R. Yes, then we attain in both in mind and in sensation.
12. S. (42:19) Is there some sign on the path that a person advanced and corrected something? Because there's this feeling that each time more and more evil is actually awakened in a person, meaning the more you advance it's actually more scary.
R. That too is a sign of progress.
S. Meaning the disclosure of evil that a person discovers in his will to receive is a sign that a person in the ten has advanced?
R. Not according to the signs of the evil we advance, rather the revelation of evil tells us nonetheless that we have a force to advance with, to overcome.
13. S. (43:25) There's a part in the article where he talks about the doubts of a person in relation to his transgressions where it says maybe I transgressed, maybe I did something wrong. What is that work in which a person… How do you do it correctly? How does a person scrutinize his transgressions in a true manner?
R. Only in the extent that he connects with the friends and aims the group to the purpose of creation.
S. How within this action does he perform a scrutiny? He prays, he asks, he tries, but where's the scrutiny here?
R. The scrutiny is in how much we are connected as one man and one heart. That you’ll begin to check how much truly there is a connection between them and then he will see how much there isn't, and according to both these states, he will see where they are, where he is.
.
S. He sees that he doesn't have it and then there's this general work of the ten that you can say, oh you feel that in the ten we're missing connection, we're missing efforts, and all kinds of things but he also has individual work on his behalf? Just like it's written in the article where he truly scrutinizes whether he's transgressing or not. Is there such work?
R. Yes, yes of course. He needs to adhere to the group and in this, he either has Mitzvot or transgressions. That what he has to perform, that's called Mitzvot and what he's not capable of performing that’s called transgressions.
S. What's a transgression? What's considered a transgression?
R. That he cannot give sufficient place, sufficient force, in order to connect.
S. That he can’t or doesn’t want?
R. It's the same thing.
S. A person has to engage in this scrutiny every day?
R. Every moment.
S. How do you get good energies to advance besides that and not deal with self-critique and judgment?
R. Ask. Of course we don't have forces for connection, but we can demand it from the Creator.
S. Can a person scrutinize his transgressions with joy, with power, with force?
R. If he does it along with the environment then surely he can be in joy.
14. S. (46:31) If a person can overcome his evil inclination in what way does he help the friends and his ten besides through prayer?
R. In this he overcomes his will to receive he prays, he's making the effort to connect all the friends that are in the group to be together.
S. There are states where he can and sometimes he falls more and then needs to come closer to the friends to ask for them.
R. Yes.
S. Are those the stages of repentance?
R. Those are the stages of correction and repentance.
15. S. (47:51) As we do very important work in the lesson we managed to even be on the screens. What does it mean, until He becomes your God?
R. When a person begins to feel the Creator the one, singular, and unique force that fills all of reality and all of reality is like a framework that the Creator fills, and in this manner, the person obtains all of reality, the entire corporeal, spiritual world. That's how he attains it, that He fills all.
S. For example when we observe the things that you tell us to be in the ten, to put our cameras on, and all those things that you tell us. Does that mean that we, by respecting what you say, that's how we're advancing?
R. In this too there is part of the progress and we nonetheless learn about the steps, the steps forward, strides forward.
16. S. (49:38) It's written that the lie is a prohibited thing. Is this a means that the body has to prevent us from correcting the mistakes or the errors?
R. Yes.
17. S. (50:54) How will it be possible in the final correction to differentiate between the Creator and the created beings?
R. In the end of correction how to differentiate between the Creator and the created beings? You can't, you can’t. If it’s truly the end of correction then it's complete adhesion.
18. S. (51:41) I'm very excited today. Yesterday I heard the lesson for the second time and in the context of the convention we already read many times that if the ten is in one intention and connects with that one intention, with that one goal, then each receives the force of the whole ten and we're kind of like trying to connect each for himself. Maybe the time has come that in the convention each will be representative of the ten, meaning I come to the convention in Moscow I don't come as myself, but I come as the Moldova ten and besides me, there’s the Moscow tens, tens of.., etc., and it turns out that we’re sitting like 100 at a table and if we approach it that way there won't be some mixture between the tens but there will be a connection of the tens in one table, and if someone travels somewhere else it's not that the ten is divided but each is traveling as the ten, it's like they're sitting 100 people at the table and I'm with my connection to the ten become a thousand. Then the whole essence of the convention will change and maybe the time has come to exit the sandbox?
R. I agree with you, start to talk about it.
19. S. (53:25) The repentance up to the root, to the soul of Adam HaRishon we were there already. How to revoke this memory that we were in already into a ten? How can we return there?
R. This memory is called Reshimot and we will remember it or more correctly we will awaken in us and we will realize all this in the connection between us.
S. What is this repentance in the ten where we discover some higher state that we were in already?
R. Yes.
20. S. (54:27) I heard today in the morning, in the meal, that what we're lacking is to come to a cry from our heart for connection.
R. Yes.
S. How can we come to such a connection in my soul, and my heart, and to such a cry?
R. We need to get closer to this slowly meaning gradually and to make an effort truly to bring ourselves to a state that only this state we need.
21. S. (55:19) We have a big congress, we have big preparation, how can we unite in this convention from our heart?
R. It all depends on the connection of the hearts and the convention although we are reaching it and connecting ourselves along the way corporeally we need to understand that it's actually a spiritual connection and thus we lack nothing besides to gather through the heart to one heart, to gather all the hearts into one heart and in this heart we will reveal the Creator who is already there.
22. S. (56:57) I am quoting the last paragraph that's written, “The worlds were cascaded till the creation of this corporeal world where there will be a reality of a body and a soul and the correction is by the Torah”. My question: how can we depict a state of correction of the world, the correction of the will to receive? How can I depict this world, we in the ten? How do we build this image?
R. To make the effort to connect and in this connection, it will reveal the connection of the whole world, that's what I recommend to do.
S. It won't be a world already because both bodies will be identical. It's written here that it will be that bestowal and reception will be the same quality, and nothing will disappear anymore.
R. Try and see what you will receive.
23. S. (58:23) What do we need to know to reach the state of return? How do we come to this realization?
R. Only by connection in the group I have no other answer. I have no other answer.
24. S. (59:05) Can we associate ourselves with those who observe Torah and Mitzvot in action and intention? If so, why is it considered an individual after all we are also working in the collective?
R. We work in the general in the society and we are aiming to connect together as one whole. When we connect we'll begin to feel how we are in connection with the Creator.
25. S. (01:00:06) If possible, from the article the soul of man is a Godly part from above such that there's no difference between a person, there's no gap between him and the soul, meaning that he is part and the soul is everything. The soul, does it all belong to me or…?
R. Nothing belongs to anybody but the Creator.
S. All our work is to give back to the Creator the part that He let out from him?
R. Completely correct.
S. What is me? Is there nothing in my heart except my point in the heart there's nothing else to live for besides that?
R. In order to return to the Creator as the point in the heart, that's your goal. Don't worry you're not disappearing anywhere.
S. I would gladly disappear.
26. S. (01:01:42) We live and work in the ten, the Creator shows me His will and I understand that I'm uncorrected and still there's this great desire to go against my desire. To work in the Creator's work, to bestow to Him more as long as we're capable. Nothing remains but to move forward and correct ourselves toward the goal.
R. Very correct.
27. S. (01:02:51) I have great joy and excitement and want to thank the whole world Kli for this common feeling and to thank you Rav because towards the convention we truly have more stronger descents and also higher ascents when we connect. My question is, I want to constantly be in that, to be in this society, and constantly read, and it disconnects me from my corporeal life and I feel good with that. Is that also an egoistic desire of mine in relation to the external environment or is it okay?
R. Correct desire you can continue.
28. S. (01:03:59) How can a person be certain that he's returning to his soul, to his root, after all the ego will always bother and deceive him. Do we need to feel this somehow in the heart or is it Daat that is coming from afar?
R. The ego is controlled by the Creator. There is Nothing Else Besides Him, None Else Besides the Creator, and thus we have nothing really to be confused about here; it all comes from the Creator and all in order for us to choose a more correct path.
29. S. (01:05:22) Can we summarize that the disparity of form in us leads us to judge all people to a scale of merit and it means that we have returned to a place from which we came from?
R. Yes.
30. S. (01:05:49) What's the sin that we have to correct? The Creator gave us a soul, shattered it, He created existence from non-existence, and then he hastens this soul to corrections through suffering so we have no choice, He controls everything, and with that, He's also concealed from us as His essence. So what's our sin?
R. You're not to blame for anything. The blame will be only when you begin to receive the method of correction but you won't be able to realize it, to fulfill it, and on the account of this you're not realizing the correction, then you'll receive all sorts of blows and in thus none of you are sinners.
31. S. (01:07:13) One of the sentences that really burns inside when a person observes all the Torah and Mitzvot in all its meticulousness and then he needs to believe, not what I have in my desire I have many questions. In all its details and meticulousness do they go with her and how do we check that we are actually doing everything? Only after we have done it we can rise in faith above reason?
R. If you did everything then you also don't need to use faith above reason.
S. It's written here that faith above reason we do after we check that we did everything, all the Torah and Mitzvot in all of its details and meticulousness then a person needs to believe in faith above reason that he has yet to perform the Mitzvot to execute them.
R. With this your ego will already tell you today that you did everything.
S. Is there a way to check this?
R. There's no way to check this other than with connection with the group
32. S. (01:09:03) The desire to be close to the Creator, the desire to be close to the friends has increased but the force to do anything about it is gone, so what to do about it? Is that an egoistic desire? What to do about it because everything is gone, just all the energy.
R. Connect stronger to the friends and receive from them all the energy, confidence, and mood. You can receive everything from the society. You can get everything from the society.
33. S. (01:10:10) Correction in relation to the ten always leads to the feeling that I have not done enough. The question is whether I can ask from my friends to do more for them. Can I ask the Creator to give me the force of bestowal in relation to my ten?
R. Nothing is predetermined and everything depends on you. Turn to the friends and to the Creator and request from everyone.
34. S. (01:11:06) Do we need to pray for the ten in humbleness because on the other hand, it's very helpful that we see the example of our friends in connection and dissemination and it lets our desire to receive play in bestowal, so what does it mean to work in humble ways?
R. It's hard to explain that. First of all, I don't reveal myself before everyone I am willing to help everyone but more than this, I cannot. I'm missing words here, that too happens.
35. S. (01:12:16) The events that are happening in the world right now are our corrections. How do we hasten them or soften them, what should we do?
R. We need to ask that within the connection between us there too will be room for all of humanity that it will reach a connection and such all the problems will stop.
36. S. (01:12:59) In the context of what friend said at the beginning of a lesson, I want to understand the force of the point in the heart is more powerful than the desire itself?
R. Yes.
S. This is because the point in the heart comes from the spiritual world and the desire comes from the corporeal world?
R. It depends, the Creator holds it.
S. The Creator decides each and every one of us this power of this force?
R. Yes.
S. Is it connected to our work?
R. Our work begins from this when we begin to identify the point in the heart.
37. S. (01:14:11) A friend asked, the soul of Adam is a Godly part from above. The Creator is everything and we are a part. Is that the point that exists?
R. Yes.
S. What's the reward we receive in the ten when we connect with the friends? To adhere to the Creator.
R. A Kli, a vessel is formed in which you can reveal the Creator.
38. S. (01:14:56) If the main correction is the correction of the intention, how to relate correctly to the world of actions, especially the actions of the friends, the women?
R. However we understand, it cannot be otherwise.
39. S. (01:15:44) As I understand everything that we include in our ten. If we feel our ten is not strong enough and we want to take other tens power in our ten can this help us?
R. Of course. How so? Other tens will be happy to help you with your ten. Just connect to us as much as possible and we will give everything, all the support needed and I too am ready, whatever you will need. We are very happy that you have connected with us.
40. S. (01:17:49) In the connection between us there will be a place for the whole world. Right now the most important thing for the world is peace in the world. Can we ask for He who makes peace in the heavens will make peace for us?
R. Of course we can ask that and surely the Creator will hear us.
41. S. (01:18:24) How do we come to a feeling that the desire to receive is a bad thing and it prevents us from connecting with the friends? How to feel that?
R. Exactly, connect to the friends. Try to connect to the friends and then you will see how much the will to receive is evil and it's not letting you connect with them. You’re right.
42. S. (01:19:17) You said that the spiritual state that is attained is clear that there are no doubts, but the next stage could be very confusing, and not unclear, so what does a person need to do when he is in a state of great confusion after a long period of time?
R. To continue, continue, and continue. All of our work is only that we agree to what the Creator is doing with us and agree to continue on the path until we will reach the goal, and the end needs to be only one thing, our correction that we turn to become like the Creator, all of us in bestowal.
43. S. (01:20:36) When there's work with the intention and you see before you a desire of another person in the group, is there a difference of wills or different desires?
R. More correctly it's the relation between the intentions.
44. S. (01:21:20) In the context of the question from our friend from China. We’ve been for a very long time in our ten. I want to ask you Rav, if the time has come maybe we will mix a little with other tens so that we will have the forces, and God willing, and we will all become one ten before One?
R. That will come when there will be a need for it, we will all feel it together. We're getting closer to it, but there are still a few more things along the way we have to do.
S. Yes, there's a feeling that we're really advancing with other tens when we connect with them. God willing if you say it’s close, then…
R. God willing, thank you very much.
45. S. (01:22:44) How can I truly hide in the Creator from my evil inclination?
R. It's possible. If you will yearn for connection with the friends out of connection with them you will find this point that will be the common point for everyone and in this, you will see the future world.
46. S. (01:23:40) You said that we need to open our hearts in the ten. How to open the heart in the right way if we feel that all that's there is ego and the desire to receive?
R. Otherwise it cannot be. Otherwise, we will only reveal the ego, it will bother us and it's all in order that we will try to annul it.
S. Meaning through annulment?
R. Yes.
47. S. (01:24:34) Only seven days before the congress the French Kli is so inspired that the Asian Kli has come and we wanted to strengthen them and we ended up feeling so small and very inspired by them. We wanted to share this feeling with you in the whole world Kli and we would like the ten to tell us why this convention is so important to them, so let's hear them.
48. S. (01:25:25) Hello brothers and sisters. This congress is incredibly important. This is where we take all the work that each individual and each ten has done. We muster all our forces and unity and cry out. We obligate the Creator to act and finish our work. There is immense power in this collective action and we need all of our brothers and sisters to participate. We are done with the ego, we want to surrender to a single authority, and we want to do it all together as one, we want the Creator to change us. L’Chaim.
49. S. (01:26:11) We all longing for this and together we can make the Creator to do this for us. Now let's hear from another friend.
50. S. (01:26:20) Every convention evokes great love and brings us to connection in a state in which the whole world Kli is united and it raises us from a higher spiritual degree from which we draw a greater powerful light that awakens and evokes more points in the heart. The convention strengthens and deepens our daily work and enables us to taste the joy from the connection between us and the Creator
51. S. (01:27:06) Let's hear from another friend.
52.S. (01:27:14) This convention is very important for me. I believe that this opportunity to unite together and sharpen our intentions is the purpose of life, the meaning of life. The efforts we make for the convention are very impressive, I always think this way. I'm certain the Creator will help us come closer, one more step towards our true purpose. I'm expecting this warm opportunity eagerly and I hope that more friends from Japan will join us. Now we're working very strongly on dissemination in Japan and I believe that the convention is the place where we will muscle-up the force to unite and connect with all the friends in the world.
53. (01:28:08) Let us connect and pray for the success of our convention and the dissemination of the wisdom of Kabbalah In Asia. It’s very important to them, so together, L’Chaim!
54.S (01:28:41) Our work is Dvekut when the desire of the Boreh is our desire to adhere, there is a feeling that confirms the addition.
R. That’s okay.
55. S. (01:29:42) I heard that everything is accepted by the society both the good and the bad. How can the ten help us by the friends saying that we're supposed to repent? How can I tell my friend to make repentance practically if I don't know how to do it? Besides I don't see the deeds of the friends of their intentions.
R. We'll talk about this more, and more, and more until it will be clarified. There's nothing to worry about.
56. S. (01:30:36) It’s very inspiring to see all the friends from China and all the friends in the world that each of them came from someone like sending them like a string of dissemination, that's the fruits of our efforts and a friend is here to share about a special event, I am personally about to go, came here to the Kabbalah center and when I entered I was trembling. I saw an amazing atmosphere, many, many people coming to an event as one event out of a series of events that are called an experience with meaning. The people who came I saw upon them it was like they took a child and put them into a candy store that he dreamed about. They came and met with such pleasures as far as all that was around them, music, wonderful food, a bar with drinks, friends that accepted them with love and amazing content, and I looked around and thought wow that's the implementation of the dream of Baal HaSulam. It's like they take the wisdom of Kabbalah and make it simple and give it in such an approachable way that whoever comes feels, this is what I've been looking for, it's like a door that's open and entering a different reality when you start on the path, and I wanted to ask a friend to tell us something about the convention she is one of the friends that will actually present the content for us.
57. S. (01:32:19) I'm sure that we all remember how we began to study the wisdom of Kabbalah the most exciting topic, was most curious, was about the perception of reality. It's of course a topic that really expands the horizons and expands the mind and really touches your sensations so much. I remember when I was on campus with one of my teachers, and I remember when we learned about the perception of reality I used to exit every lesson with this huge inspiration from this deep truth in this wisdom, and it turned out to this coming Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in our Center is going to give an amazing lecture about the perception of reality that's truly suitable for the widespread audience, it will be light and fun and accessible to each one for all ages and this is going to allow a lot of items full of content and music and comedy and good food and a great environment and this atmosphere of sensation together. It's like this gift that's wrapped in the most beautiful wrapping and presented to our guests so all we have to do is go over the list of your relatives, people that you know, from your work, and without fear, and with a lot of love. Sign up together with them and come with them this upcoming Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the center because this is 100% dissemination for them.
58.S.(01:34:40) Each of us remembers that moment when we met the wisdom of Kabbalah and suddenly it was like a door to another world opened up. In what way are these events that we do for the broad public where we invite relatives and they come together and in what way does this advance all of us?
R. Of course it advances us as much as we expand our fields of dissemination, our coming nearer in our expansion, all this raises us toward the correction of the creation and we are truly already in quite significant stages, efforts of our advancement. We hope that we will begin to reveal that we are in the last generation, so let's together men, and women, strengthen ourselves and our assembly and we will succeed. Thank you to all of you.
