Convention "World Kabbalah L'Am" - "Discovering Life in the Ten"

1. Rav’s Introduction: Indeed, in order to discover the Creator, we need His qualities, but we cannot locate His qualities directly, we cannot receive them because they are the Creator’s qualities, they are not ours and in order to be created beings we have to have qualities that are opposite and His qualities, both. If we know how to keep the qualities that are opposite of the Creator, the revelation of darkness that we determine as darkness, then also the discovery of the Creator Himself, then we can come to His revelation. So, our entire work is to discover our true qualities, feel them, understand them, understand they are ours and that we wish to rise from them, above them to the opposite qualities from reception to bestowal, from hate to love and then when we have these two qualities that are right and left for us, they are clearly there, two opposite, from that we begin to compile the image of the Creator. He begins to be clear to us meaning we don't attain something that's outside of us, rather we attain BoReh, come and see. Where from these two qualities the Creator created in us, the quality of reception, the quality of bestowal, repulsion and connection, from these two we put together eventually the middle line beginning to attain Him, since who is He, we cannot say now, but that same root, as for the bad and for the good that will be revealed in the middle between the two, is giving us the attainment of the Creator. 

Therefore, we need not flee the evil but hold on to it as we hold on to the good. We don't need to move away from the evil, just to hate it, because it’s a quality that is opposite the Creator but in hating it and at the same time, to maintain it. I'm sorry for that, thunder and lightning, so that's it. Let's go to the topic because the attainment of the Creator depends on equating with these two qualities that are opposite to Him and His own qualities, and then the more we gradually move away from the form of reception and acquire the form of bestowal on top of the form of reception. The same way we approach the Creator, the feeling of the Creator until we begin to unite with Him and cleave to Him. That's why we have to understand that the Creator must conceal Himself. It's not His desire one way or another rather He did it in order to give us an opportunity to exist and because we are opposite from Him and are in the quality of reception we can clothe on us the quality of His form and to that extent approach Him and attain Him, but this opposite quality remains in us and that is our foundation for the entire path. Therefore, on the one hand, the Creator is pushing us apart and on the other hand, He is pushing us towards the connection between us and then this way we attain Him from a thing and it's opposite. Baal HaSulam writes about it nicely. Let's go to the verses and learn the topic of the lesson is the means for the greatness of the Creator annulment and total soul devotion in the ten.

*Excerpt #1 Reader (06:15 - 07:18)

2. R. If everything is revealed from its opposite, meaning I cannot reveal the Creator unless I first attain the qualities that are opposite to Him then to the extent I reveal qualities that are similar to him then the connection and the contradiction between the qualities I can depict Him and imagine him, it's the advantage of light out of darkness. So how do we discover that in the ten do I need to remember all my negative impressions from the friends and from that to compile a form and its opposite as the form of my ego that I would depict them. Specifically, over that, cover them in love and maintain these two forms meticulously. It's possible that without these discernments if I don't remember them, if I don't absorb them, arrange them, build them, I cannot acquire the vessels which later I can reveal the Creator. So what the Creator did He created the group in order to develop the qualities of reception in the quality of bestowal. He pushes us towards connection with the friends and also places us in opposition to the friend. What else should the Creator do to help us develop quickly, as quickly as possible at the right pace and also the qualities to acquire such qualities of light and darkness what else are we missing to discover Him, to reveal Him? That's the question.

3. S. (09:39) Rav, you said that we need to hate the qualities that don't allow us to attain the goal but without doubting the Creator, the question is what is the difference to hate the qualities and without accepting them?

R. No. There are several forms of concealment, the general form the Creator is concealed, the upper force is governing us and leading us in each and every moment, in our existence in this life is concealed. We have nothing to say about it because we need to come closer, to gradually discover it and then it will be revealed slowly. Whereas when we are discussing the friends, our relationship also our relationship towards what we are discovering in our state, relative to our life and seemingly comes to us from the Creator, here things are more open, rather not completely concealed and your question you actually begged at the question the Creator, who is He, what is He, does He exist, I don't know anything? We're not approaching the concept of the Creator in such a way because we have no vessels for it. We understand that we cannot approach attainment in this way. In order for us to begin to discover him, we need to first discover the qualities that are suitable for his attainment. That is why we need to first arrange these two qualities in nature, separation and connection, in the connection between us on the highest level in nature, the still, the animate and speaking the level of speaking we have to reach a level of connection, a state of connection, maximum connection, why do we need it? 

Because all of our advancement, all of our development in nature, comes to us as a result of connection between two opposites. We see it in all the material substances in chemistry and physics and wherever you look the level of science of understanding depends on the extent to which we discover qualities of connection over qualities of opposition, of contradiction. The same goes for the human species who is the most developed. The more we see ourselves and as much or the more we are opposite, the more we hate each other and so on and so forth. If we develop, our nature is also pushing us towards connection except in a very simple primitive way, very slow way. We nevertheless change forms, going from disconnection to connection, from revealing the disconnect to revealing the connection more and more, throughout the years of our development of our evolution. By the time we come to the rest of our progress we make, in understanding nature, we understand that nature is appearing to us according to the degrees of separation and the connection. Look what's happening to us now in America and Russia and each and every place. You see more and more separation previously wasn't so felt in society and now it is acutely felt, those hate the others in America and those hate the others in Russia of course there are places that haven't been revealed and it's ahead of us.  For that we have China, Japan and Europe and everyone why? 

Because above the separation we will have to by ourselves, by our own consciousness, awareness, understanding will have to compile the connection, that's it. It's called as light excels from darkness, that's how it's going to be revealed, when will it be done? On these levels, still, vegetative animate and speaking, various levels of corporeal and spiritual substance until we'll be able to reconcile the separation in connection onto the highest degree. This will take place in the highest, most subtle relationship between people, to the extent we will discover the separation between us and various ways between all sorts of people and the connection together with that on top of the disconnect and the separation and the feeling of one versus the other one relative to the other will give us the feeling of the upper force who created these forms as the middle line. And in this way will come to the understanding, the awareness, the revelation, the connection with the upper force. Since it will exist in us and we don’t attain anything outside of us as we learned in the introduction or The Preface to the Book of Zohar. Attaining all of the world and all of reality, everything is attained inside of a person, not outside of us as it appears to us. Therefore, only in correcting this vessel of ours in each and every one. Then later we see that it's not and everyone rather it's all of us as one, when there is no separation between us then we discover the upper force the single force, who is like a middle line between separation and connection in these two forms, it's also above them it's not included of the two rather we as created beings are able to put together as ask His image, His form we can learn about Him.

4. S. (19:44) The topic of the third lesson is annulment and devotion in the ten as a means for attaining the greatness of the Creator, adhesion can it be said that annulment of self-love to the vessel? We keep saying that we don't cancel anything, we keep the bad but we cover it with love but here it says we fight against it and cancel it?

R. If I revoke the evil and refrain from using it it doesn't mean that I'm canceling the evil that's in me because that's my nature and I cannot cancel anything of my nature, nothing. I advance in the wisdom of Kabbalah in acquiring qualities of bestowal, but how do I acquire them? To the extent the quality of reception is revealed in me, I want to cheat everyone and steal, lie, any bad thing I want to do to the other half, or that I discover my ability to be the opposite. I try, I pray and I acquire these qualities of bestowal and I always like that, you cannot have one quality without the other you can't have plus without minus, there's no such thing. So although we say that a person seemingly disconnects from evil and he does not or you can say he disconnects but evil remains in him because without the evil inside of him he cannot be good. We need to understand that only using the quality of bestowal, love, connection above all evil qualities, this is the way to advance there's no other way.

5. S. (22:02) How can we keep the good and the bad simultaneously in the ten in order to please the Creator and advance?

R. We need to think more and more that about the good in the bad are relative, they're all relative. In a sense the revelation of the Creator is neither in the good or the bad but in the connection between them, is finding the middle line between them. When there we can locate the upper force from both. That's why we say I've created the evil inclination, as darkness, the quality of reception, and created the Torah as a spice, the light, because the light in it reforms and because both the evil inclination, our ego and the good inclination, the light, the connection neither can exist without the other and relative to us, the created beings therefore as a person advances towards the goal then he who is greater than his friend his inclination is greater. As the ego grows, becomes greater but he knows how to subjugate it, how to maintain it, as the left line and he will not have any way to reach the right line. 

From both through construct the form of the Creator the BoReh, come and see, why am I insisting on this point because we should not relate to the bad things, seemingly, as evil it's all relative, it was all given to us so we would hate that's correct, hate the evil, the darkness, the rejection, the repulsion of our ego. It's all so we would be directed towards the image of the Creator, the form of the Creator that can be revealed on top of the evil and everything is discovered from the thing and its opposite. But for people who grow, correctly, they hate the evil but not in such a way that appears to us as if they are tossing it out trying to revoke it, we're speaking this way but we simply talk about revoking, refraining from using it, from directly using it. But the opposite use, when we rise above the evil and we build ourselves that's why we need this ego and we have to understand that we construct our self, that way we advance has to be in this way. So ultimately there is no evil in the world, as we understand only that evil which for the time being exists in order to let us build for the good and eventually, we attain it both, have one source, one origin and we have to use them in balance.

6. S. (26:21) The topic of the third lesson, the means for revealing the Creator is annulment and devotion in the ten what annulment and what self-sacrifice should we do now in preparation for the Congress?

R. Hang on did we speak about it, no we haven't so why are you leaving us with your questions the most important for you to ask we have versus before us we're going to learn them and if in the end we're not going to reach that point then you can ask why not, where is it but we haven't discussed it yet, we're not started yet jumping ahead with those questions where we haven't even touched on it.

7. S. (27:29) Is it possible to keep holding on to the middle online or do we constantly fall to the right or to the left?

R. You are riding a bicycle, do you have to ride a bicycle, you know how to ride?

S. Yes.

R. When you started you wouldn't fall either to the right or to the left until you started to understand what it means to be in the middle. Same thing here we need to acquire such an inner feeling what it means to ride the bicycle that's it. How do we keep the middle line so gradually the important thing is we start discussing that there is no evil rather everything is relative, each good that we attain from a certain level, on a degree higher than it is becoming bad, evil. Then I correct it I reach a better good and then that good that I have attained on the second degree becomes bad, evil relative to the third degree and in this way and climb. This has to do with the memories as we learn the Reshimot the descend from the Partzufim, from above down and similarly we need to start discovering in us the Reshimot that what used to be the good thing for me is becoming an evil thing for me and I don't want to agree with it, I want to reach more exalted more significant things.

8. S. (29:44) How can we learn to be happy if I see contradictions in the friends?

R. The more I see them as different, as the opposite we cannot be in direct agreement with one another the happier I am because, specifically from this opposition contradictions between us, the conflict between us when we try to establish a web of connection between us, minus plus, plus minus, all of sorts, all kinds. So, in this way we establish ourselves where no one agrees with the other, no one can be close to the other, we're all opposite to one another and in this way each one is incorporated in all the others. So, it turns out that they're just like an electrical system, there are many pluses and many minuses between us and there is a certain electricity between us, a web of forces, potential. In that force comes love, love covers all transgressions when we discover him in this way, we actually rejoice about having all these opposite forms and none of them disappears rather remains in our foundation and thanks to this - we can discover, reveal the Creator.

9. S. (31:52) Putting the good above the bad, what extra efforts do we have to make in order to reach the source of these forces?

R. Tendency towards connection between us and as forms of connection we wish to uphold and it doesn't matter to us so much the relationships, the important thing is to try and try to feel what is going on here, what's going on here? What does it mean that the Creator's so, what is He stirring between us, all the different things he's not letting us, come closer or understand Him, not understand, if not feel and feel between us and we're trying to locate the essence of these changes and this way we arrange the vessels for discovering Him.

10. S. (33:13) It seems to me like there are two kinds of bad, one bad as revealed in the ten, one bad is kind of outside of the ten, in the ordinary life, the regular life things that happen to a person, how do we relate to the bad outside of the ten?

R. In truth I don't think there is such a thing rather there are two levels, perhaps two forms. I can't influence my external life. not giving to me completely, I'm not seeing the full picture, I'm not seeing humanity as the ten Sefirot as operating there. However in the ten I wish, I must reach the state where there is a ten, there is a web of connections between us, where I wish to detect and to begin to feel changes in the relationship between me and the Creator. This way to begin to feel the connection with him, the language from conversing with him. Let's say I'm in this state where I started to discover maybe in the planet up above or an electrical wire I start to feel sudden changes, these fluctuations, suddenly it is this and then it's that. You know you probably heard how they're trying to discover remote civilizations. Then I begin to try to find certain messages in it, in those signals how they are revealed in this way or in that and so I make efforts to discover them.

We are the same, I am in the ten. There is a feeling in me of the changes, of the fluctuations between us and I wish to construct a table of communications between us, this way, that way, to what can I ascribe these forms of connection and this form of separation or other forms. This way I build a matrix where I see dependence, the relationship between these things and those things between us in the ten and in this way I begin to discover gradually, the attitude of the Creator towards us. How he is creating this very space between us of light and darkness and together with that when am I seeing them, according to what am I seeing them, because it's not that he's revealing it to us and sending the points of light or points of darkness. Rather he awakens in me this understanding. So according to my states with the friends, I wish to discover his attitude towards us. More or less, good or bad or is it correct or is this less correct. In the relationship between us in the ten I begin to approach him and to come out towards the connection with him. How will we do it, how will we connect ourselves more or less and then see what can be his reaction?

In truth in our state the Creator is the first. He is bringing forth the states, rather the qualities in us and he arranges the entire form always. We react to it in the 10 and we need to see if we reacted correctly or not, what did we get in return, how did we react again and how did he answer to that, how did you respond to that. Then begin to enter a dialogue with him. This happens to us specifically as a result of the relationship between us, as simple as it may be, between us and what he wants from us. The more sensitive we become to him, and according to the degree of our sensitivity to him, we will begin to understand him more and more.  It is not like a little child where if you don't smile then he doesn't react, he doesn't understand any other way and later when he grows up he understands all the possibilities, all the nuances of our relationship this way or that way. According to facial expressions maybe a little bit of the sound of the voice but not according to the content of the relationship between us and him. So in this way we are gradually learn the language for conversing with the Creator, it all depends on the connection between us and how we are approaching him. Then we discovered that we have a great rich language we can use to express anything, a rich language we can use to express anything there's no problem. Rather, it becomes from the language it appears to be, it becomes the language of Sefirot, TANTA, (Taamim, Nekudot, Tagin, Otiot) the relationship between us because points of light and darkness and in this way we will advance. There's a lot in it but I just wanted to say that in this way we build the connection with the Creator

S. As part of our advancement on the path, we will feel the bad only in the ten and not outside of the ten we won't feel this bad?

R. Feeling or not feeling what?

S. Outside of the ten we won't feel bad but only inside of the ten, is this part of the advancement, the progress?

R. No, will feel the bad also outside of the ten but the correction of this bad that we will feel, that will be felt inside the ten, the bad that's outside of it and to the extent will be able to connect all of humanity to us, we will accordingly be able to correct it inside of us. This is the meaning of absorbing the AHP and adding it to the Galgata vEnayim and accordingly, in this way all of the corrections take place in the Galgata vEnayim as AHP they provide the AHP with the forces, the screens they bring it to the degrees where it's incorporated in Galgata vEnayim will get there it will come.

11. S. (42:30) Can one friend, alone, correct the balance in the ten under the middle line or does the work require the work of several friends?

R. We need to try to work with, each shall his friend, and build such a connection in the ten that we would feel that our work, our goal in this effort, that's how we advance, only in this way. Not alone. I, alone in the ten, I'm doing the work without getting any reaction then I'm not working together with them, it's impossible. 

12. S. (43:49) How does the sensitivity work between us and the ten?

R. Out of envy the most important is out of envy, the articles by Rabash where you can see how he writes about it. Envy, lust, honor, by that you increase the sensitivity and to think about it more and more.

13. S. (44:39) Previously it seemed like getting closer to the Creator, means getting closer to the right line, now it sounds like it's yearning for the middle. Can you help me understand the difference between now?

R. The Creator is attained in the middle line. One quality is seemingly positive, the quality of bestowal we cannot discover Him, specifically in the connection between the two, we will learn it.

14. S. (45:27) If the bad inclination to receive allows me to recognize the Creator so why do the friends have fear to face the state?

R. I don't know what to say. Fear is something, it's for now, for the time being that it happens there's nothing special about it, nothing special. It for the time being that it sometimes happens on our degrees afterwards, it will come again but on higher levels. I think that if we give each other a little bit of strength in the ten then we can rise above this fear to levels of confidence levels of support and this should be our work.

15. S. (47:12) There's a feeling that is the most important thing now?

R. I don't understand what you're asking but we have to constantly be drawn towards connection, that's it.

16. S. (47:39) Is there a difference between the middle line, when we are in the middle of the lesson and when we are outside, how does the arrangement differ in each state?

R. You're right, in every situation we have to try to detect or locate the middle line and then in this way, we later position ourselves in a way that we accustom ourselves to it.

S. I asked about the difference.

R. The difference is that in every state you have to try to establish the middle line, so it doesn't matter for you if it's left or right but to incorporate as much left in the right as possible but mainly it's about coming to a state of there's none else besides Him. Every state is true if you connect all the elements, all the data into there's none else besides Him and that's the middle line for now. There are many discernments in this but for now that's the way it is. Again, it's like a baby who comes to know life, so he connects all kinds of small insights and bigger and greater ones in this way it feels the picture of the world and its relation to the world and like and so on and so are we. In every specific, particular situation we have to position the Creator in such a way that He makes it dark and makes it light and creates the darkness and He connects them in this way and this is how we should come to know Him.

17. S. (49:39) Where do we get the forces to overcome the oppositions?

R. All the forces come from the Creator. I don't understand your question?

S. My ego always resists the opposite, so how do I make this overcoming?

R. If you position yourself in such a way, only in this way can you add that controls all of reality, the bad, the good, everything, then you have the right direction to locate the Creator as the force, as the source of these two sources then you gradually begin to relate to them equally.

18. S. (50:32) You said that without the left line you can't connect two lines to the middle line and I remember that something scientific where if you take a light bulb and you place the conductor in a glass of water, the light bulb will not turn on but if you have solved the light bulb will turn on with salt and water, salt, Malchut, left line and water, right line. How many crimes, questions do we have to have to reach the middle line?

R. You need negative ions here so they would transfer the electricity because you have molecules, that there's a minus, but let's not get into it but you have to here, you have to kind of design, dissolve this conductor into two positive and negative and let the currents kind of stream from the minus to the plus. So, what are you asking? You're asking, water is that enough, we also need salt for the water to be a little more a better conductor for the current, that's correct.

S. I'm asking in our inner work when hate appears not to cancel the work above it.

R. We don't cancel anything, we only overcome it, otherwise we will never arise, in essence, when we relate to the bad this is revealed correctly and we want to be in the good more than in the bed, this is why the bad also grows all the time and is supporting the degree from the left side. This is why the disciples of Rabbi Shimon wanted to kill each other eventually but they did not start.

19. S. (53:01) It's not entirely clear what it means to cancel, revoke the use of the egoism, somehow to repress it inside of me, is not letting it come outside or something else to change my intention, cover it with love?

R. The right use of the ego means I understand, feel and I attain what's revealed in me, this is what you do. The Creator made its this way, so I'm in the part of Adam HaRishon that needs to reveal this in me and I can't receive my correction unless I reveal all the Creator has prepared for me and his preparation precedes even his designing of me. Before I was kind of established as an item as a unit in this common vessel, I speak in this way which is kind of accurate but it's easier to understand it this way. So now we have to attribute everything to the Creator, the bad, and the good and Baal HaSulam writes about it, we should find those excerpts. That the Creator, it's written that the Creator makes the light and creates the darkness. Therefore, we should accept it in this way that you can't do without it. It can only happen with the help of this, with the help of light on top of darkness, both of them go together and connect together and there's no such thing as we say a light that is all day. It is because the whole night stands at the basis of that day and that's why it didn't shine this way, the darkness will shine as light. We will talk about it, we gradually get used terms but I what I want by this is that you will understand that what we need is to, you have to feel how you relate to all the bad things and the good things as revelations that come from above, and we have to unite them to the same source so as to know how to correct them. That's it, not to be so impressed by the bad but understand that without it we can be good.

20. S. (56:07) When Kabbalists wrote I created the evil inclination and Torah as a spice, what is this I, is the I from the ten that needs to do something that needs to identify, what is this I?

R. It is the middle line, which is BoReh, come and see, the Creator, that's how He is revealed in us as comprising from darkness to light and that's the only way we can locate within us that middle force which makes the light and creates the darkness. Eventually, this way allows us to exist between the two forces as existing. Actually, afterwards we see this is kind of a hologram that we exist in this way but for some reason we existed because the Creator creates these two rays of darkness and light and when the two of them somehow connect among them, they fashioned kind of the image of reality including man, we'll talk about it, for now let’s advance a little bit.

Excerpt #2 Reader (58:00 - 58:52)

21. R. Here is when we begin to speak about a new discernment. That I can't do the same work as the friends, none of us can replace the other that's clear to us, but what I learned when I look at him and I see what kind of work he is doing, if I relate to the way correctly and to the Creator then I always see the friend is greater than I at least in some way. My efforts should be to see him truly as greater than everyone to the extent that I see all my friends as greater than I and I become inferior to them, lesser to them as a point of the Malchut opposite from the first nine to that extent I begin to attain Keter, do you understand this? It's a method to come from the love of people to the love of the Creator, so let's try not to forget about it. I am interested in seeing each and every friend not just as greater than I, but as truly that his greatness covers the whole ten in some way he or in some way another, in some way a third, another in some way with everyone and I can only support them, attach myself to them, attribute and relate myself to them, and this way I build a Partzuf of ten Sefirot where all above me I am like Malchut and the first nine, in them with my inclination to love and connect with them I discover the Creator, the Creator should be revealed in the vessel, the first nine, I hope it's clear.

22. S. (01:01:14) What extreme must we experience in order to achieve equivalence of form as Him, what extreme lines?

R. I don't understand the question, what extreme lines, they are revealed, I can't summon them I can't ask, give 60 kilos from this and 40 kilos from that I can't. I have to work until it becomes revealed in me, hatred from good, from love, one opposite the other until I reveal, I discover all kinds of states. Until these states help me build my relationship to the friends and through them my relationship to the Creator; the relationship to the Creator is a result of the relationship to the friends and as a result I discover Him. First, I have to reveal my relationship to the friends in connection, giving, in love, and my disposition towards them and then what I discover in my sum total relation to them, I discover that is my relation to the Creator

S. How do we balance the two forces without diminishing one or the other?

R. Because they are revealed one after the other: light, darkness, rejection, attraction, connection. As a result, I later learned how to balance them. What does it mean to balance them? To connect on top of connection, to be in love on top of hatred and not to slight anything just to bring them together and design the middle line towards the group and the Creator.

23. S. (01:03:53) I want to ask about hating himself, I don't understand what it means, I don't have to love to hate myself in order to love the other, on the contrary I love him the way I love myself?

R. You reject, you don't cancel anything, you only reject, you repel and afterwards we'll see what it means to reject correctly, so you reject all of the qualities that have obstruct you from connecting to the friend, that's it.

S. So this is called hate?

R. Yes.

24. S. (01:04:47) From the beginning you said that we need to place ourselves in the place where we disagree with one another. Can you explain more about it?

R. I don't quite understand, if there's a place here where we disagree with one another? Of course we don't agree, so what?

S. Let's say if we are discussing something in the lesson and a friend said I agree with this friend and I bring him in as an example and I disagree with another friend and I bring him as an example and I bring a 3rd friend, that's not good for me, does it mean that we have to place ourselves that I disagree with any one of them?

R. I don't understand these things and that's not how I decipher, what does it mean that I agree and disagree?

S. You said, maybe I misunderstood, I just wrote down what I understood.

R. Disagreeing means I don't understand what kind of disagreement can be between us if we don't understand anything, I say I don't understand but it is not whether I disagree or agree. A person who attains something, he says I agree or disagree out of his attainment but because he is in the darkness, how can you say this, he can't say I don't understand. Here I need to understand or he could say I understand that I disagree because I haven't attained it, when I attain it of course I will agree. So now from my experience and what I went through in the wisdom Kabbalah, I see that in many ways I disagree with the method itself but more and more and I learned and that's how it goes forward, that's how it will work all the time. That's why it's written that a person does not perform a commandment unless he failed in it first, so a person always disagrees, hates, repels, doesn't want it, yells, doesn't want it. Afterwards he understands and accepts in degrees and that's the way it works with everything because we always reveal the light out of the darkness.

S. It's not clear so do we have to agree between us or not?

R. We should try to explain to one another what we learned in the lesson not emotionally but technically.

S. That's what each one understands or agrees?

R. I don't hear in your questions things that actually require explanation, ask to the point but not around it, if something is not clear if you disagree with something go ahead and ask about this.

25. S. (01:09:06) In order for me to be integrated from ten forces I need to see that the forces, I need to see the friends are trying to annul themselves, how to see if it's concealed from a person?

R. No, one who faults, faults in his own fault, if you tried to see that they are annulling themselves by annulling yourself before them you will see that they are truly annulling themselves and by this you also adhere to them.

S. So in order to overcome the fact that it's concealed from me what should be the action overcoming above reason, an interaction?

R. Subjugate yourself before them by force.

S. And from my subjugation, I am getting to see the friends inner efforts more?

R. Yes, it really helps to try to love them. It's more emotional than intellectual in general. The whole of the wisdom of Kabbalah is built on correcting in the feeling and revealing, revealing the intellect in the feeling, okay?

26. S. (01:10:38) What does it mean to correct the evil, it's not clear to me?

R. Evil means rejection between us, interference in our connection that's it.

S. Yes, but what am I correcting exactly? I hear we have to balance the good and the bad both come from the Creator so what is there to correct?

R. The correct means to use the bad forces and control them with the good forces and then you'll have good forces and bad forces that complement one another, because if you don't have the bad for us how will the good force come, on top of what? It has to have an infrastructure.

S. My correction is always in only adding on the right accepting the left coming from the Creator and adding in the right.
R. But you add the right and you sort of speak, you arrange the right and the left, if you don't position them one opposite the other and want to work both of them together then you have no right and left.

S. From what I see, I read that Kabbalists they're saying annul your inclination, hate yourself as if I'm asking the Creator for it to disappear so I won't see it, so I only feel love towards them, so what is that correction?

R. Correction of what the hatred?

S. Yes.

R. It's when you rise you feel you're covering it with love.

S. So it doesn't mean I want to revoke it, I want to feel it?

R. This is called canceling but it doesn't disappear, cancelling is not doesn't mean it disappears cancelling means that your relation to the bad things that were revealed now you have changed your relation to it, you understand that you need them and it's good that they were revealed and that they exist in the left has to be at the basis of the Partzuf because otherwise there is no existence of the Partzuf.

S. And so we ask, let's see the merits and not the friends’ faults and so that I even if I see their faults, let me overcome it and see the Creator there?

R. How can you see the good without the bad, it has to be this way there is no light without darkness.

S. Clear, thank you. 

27. S. (01:13:40) If the friend can clearly see the example and the annulment and sacrifice of the friends in the ten and he is still not impressed or ready to input more in the work, how can the ten influence him even more, is this the matter of the ten or the individual?

R. We need to exert more and more, each ten must nevertheless see itself as having to do toward him examples of the greatness of the Creator, we have to show him that we invest in him and support him, understanding that it is the Creator that is giving them this burdening of the heart that if they don't relate correctly to this work, to this opportunity that they receive from the Creator, certainly they won't be able to advance. Sometimes there are such disturbances from a friend in the ten, anything but leave, besides doing real harm. It is very difficult to tend to him but nonetheless we have to try to continue to support him, to give him more opportunities to advance and speak and also to learn the excerpts from Rabash. There is nothing you can do, patience, it is tending to them like babies.

28. S. (01:16:00) It turns out that there is None Else Besides Him includes both bestowal and reception, why are we not focused on that but that we name ourselves on the quality of bestowal?

R. Because this is what we are lacking in our nature that we want the bad that the Creator is revealing and that is basically all He does openly, relatively, constantly awakening in us only bad. In all the people in the world, all over the world and in us and in our work between us. Accordingly, we have to try to complement it with good.

S. Our goal, our purpose we say bestowal and love which is what we need to add but it is not the goal of the goal is to come to the unity which is above that there is None Else Besides Him, the middle line?

R. Unity is in the middle line where all the negative and positive states that we reveal them in order to be connected among us in both lines, in the third line.

S. Which is more than love really?

R. It is incorporation, I'm not certain how to put it, it is a quality, a unity. Love is seemingly still a state where we feel a difference between us as well as connection between us and the sensations of difference, the connection together creates in us a feeling of love. Above it, there are no words to describe what is above it.

S. A question to understand the focus of the inner work because we constantly oscillate between the two opposites, love and rejection, connection is separation. Is this correct, to be this way or to look at those things as motivating forces?

R. We have to be constantly trying to be connected as Rabash writes and if we constantly want to attain connection then we will attain, we will succeed in revealing the separation and then each time we will have these interchanges between separation and connection, separation and connection, but each time on a higher level. That is the whole ladder.

29. S. (01:19:47) What is this effort to try to love, to be in connection how can we imagine this effort?

R. The effort to be in connection is when I see the whole world, or the group in all kinds of different ways and I with my effort, I picture them as imagining into one system, one mechanism that they are complementary, one force operates on them from above and they have one mission and each of them acts from his own perspective when they connect. It is like a system, take an electric system, every element, every unit has its own operations, but when they all connect they create some general form.

S. If I'm understanding correctly what you're depicting is an image I created in my mind first and earlier you said the action of correction is an emotional action so I'm trying to understand the effort in the heart to try to love?

R. I don't know, talk to the friends and ask them to explain it to you, don't be shy. I don't really understand your questions.

30. S. (01:21:49) How can the hatred be revealed in whole, like in its total if I always have behind in my mind and I am always thinking about what the teacher tells me, the sages tell me there's None Else Besides Him?

R. Otherwise you always think about there's Nothing Else Besides Him and you never feel anything negative towards anyone because you see it all comes from None Else Besides Him?

S. Yes, it doesn't really come out in a strong way because I always think in my head there's None Else Besides Him so it kind of relieves the hatred.

R. Well it will come, the disturbances will come according to your preparation for them.

Excerpt 3 Reader (01:23:09 - 01:25:17) reads twice

31. S. When the hate is not revealed in the ten because friends are holding themselves back from expressing it, annulling in themselves what is the best way to reveal the evil and not remain in the illusion?

R. You can always add there is no such thing as impossible to add in connection, you can add in practice, in actions, in thoughts and everything. You can try to add in connection between you in the ten and then through your efforts, through the efforts when you want to be more connected, there you will feel the lack, the deficiency in connection and in that deficiency you will advance towards the Creator.

32. S. (01:26:39) In the connection between hate and envy, why first reveal the hate?

R. I think you first reveal the envy, but why does it matter? You need to know how to work with both and try to turn them, not erase them, do not turn your eyes to them, but as much as possible try to turn them into a positive force of connection.

33. S. (01:27:27) How can we ensure the role of being a heel as relative to the ten?

R. A person has to think about that, who he is compared to them, he has to try to see his true state, to do what Rabash writes and also to give it time, it takes time until even the ego helps him to see how inferior he is to everyone. In the beginning he thinks he's superior to everyone, he knows, understands, feels he is exerting and afterwards he discovers it is all the opposite, to the contrary and perhaps there's truth and neither. But what is revealed he has to accept it as truth, that it is all relative.

34. S. (01:29:14) What does the heel have to do towards the body and the upper organs and what does it give to the rest?

R. The heel supports everyone, the fact that he feels himself as lesser than everyone that makes him the basis for the whole construction and everyone stands on him.

35. S. (01:29:48) How to be nothing towards the other one so that divinity will dwell in my friends?

R. It comes gradually through the reforming light, I have to make efforts to help as much as possible, to serve, understand, but mainly to ask the Creator to give me the right outlook, the correct view of myself in my relation in the society. How I should support and help them because they are great and I don't come to them but only as the little one before the grown-ups and I can attribute and relate myself to them asking the Creator to come to such a role. As a result, I get in return the understanding, recognition and feeling that I belong to that vessel. I truly belong to the bottom level of the vessel, having to relate to them as the first nine that the Creator has revealed in them specifically and I as Malchut only support them and through my support of them I give the Creator the ability to be revealed in them. To the extent that I attribute to them higher qualities than mine, to that extent I discover the Creator in them. The Creator is revealed in these qualities and I have put together above me, before me as the first nine, that is how I relate to them.

S. What does it mean the Creator is revealed in the first nine?

R. The Creator is above them He is like the Keter and all of these are like the first nine that are revealed to me, they discover and show His unity, His nature when I look at them I see all of the good things. What you thought yesterday and the day before about the friend is out of the question, today you discover it differently, what does it come from? From your relation, from your attitude because all who fault, fault in their own faults.

S. So I am starting from being nothing, a zero towards them then I am included in their qualities?

R. You become included in them and their qualities and it helps you to understand them better and better.

36. S. (01:33:08) Thank you for all of the scrutiny, I wanted to ask, such a picture is depicted, we start from hatred, darkness and gradually by efforts of annulment, the qualities of the friends connect in me and then we start seeing that all of this wasn't even hatred, that it was all good this is how it is revealed so how do we see all of this as only one source? 

R. Yes.

S. So in that place the sensation disappears of happiness or sadness or is it something secondary and the focus is on some new point of connection. The sadness and happiness becomes something like an opportunity to rise above them?

R. That is all correct, everything.

S. That is the three lines that were talking about the left is hatred, falling and the right is uplifting and what is revealed from that is the middle line is what we have to hold onto?

R. In the meantime.

37. S. (01:34:42) In the past we were saying that we need to melt in the friends, here we are depicting ourselves as a heel, what is more precise?

R. These are the ways that we relate to this, this is how we can depict ourselves all of the time in different ways, when it will be revealed you will identify all of these discernments, both the heel and the other forms.

38. S. (01:35:21) The middle line, the evil, happiness, bad it is all our feelings, our responses to everything that is happening in the ten? The middle line is actually how you manage your responses and feelings?

R. Well, we could say that is the way it is, it is the result of the way we know have to combine all of these things together.

Excerpt 4 Reader (01:36:05 - 01:36:53) reads twice

39. R. That is clear we also learned this from the forms of Ibur, Yenika, and Mochin when we go through the degrees, the state of zero is the state which is between the states, between the degrees, that is also how we enter Kedusha, sanctity, how to bestow the one who feels himself in this zero, the state of zero we will talk about in the future as we need to stabilize and establish this each one with his ten. If we do that and establish that feeling from there on we enter spirituality.

Excerpt 5 Reader (01:37:38 - 01:39:33) reads twice

40. S. What is the revelation of the abundance?

R. The revelation of the abundance is the revelation of the Creator's attitude towards you, that is all. Your desire is built out of His love to the created beings and then it turns out that what you're about to discover is the love, there is a verse and you love your God and your tendency to discover your love to Him and what you discover is His love to you. That is what we should do to come to that, to discern all kinds of things there discernments above our ego and don't depend on it. We need the society and this reality as it is only established out of the necessity to reach the final point of our development. This is why there is nothing redundant in reality, but rather we are going to have to use everything to reach love.

41. S. (01:41:27) I understand what annulling my will to receive before the Creator is, but I think you just answered it in the last question, what is annulling the existence of the creature, what is annulling my existence, is that all of reality what I see on here, this is what I annul before the Creator?

R. Your relation, yourself, when you annul, if you have any relation and connection of your own to what is being done, that is what you want to annul and annulling doesn't mean that it doesn't exist but it means that you rise above the annulment and make a new connection.

42. S. (01:42:21) We know everything comes from the Creator so is it only evil being revealed in the corporeal world?

R. It depends in what way will you define evil, anything that I cannot yet be able to appreciate the Creator as the big and the terrible, the one who feels the entire reality, holding all of the reality that I depict, including me, that is called evil. Any disturbance, impotence to discover the Creator as the one, the greatest and the good that does good, that is called evil.

Excerpt 6 Reader (01:43:35 - 01:44:23)

43. R. Over his questions all kinds of disturbances have to receive what he feels is before him.

Reader continues; “he asks the Creator to help him win the war ....” (01:44:42 - 01:44:56)

44. R. Both agree with it and understand it, accepted and even to fight against his previous disturbances.

Excerpt 6 again (01:44:55 - 01:45:59)

45. S. According to what we read is there a place, when can one pray individually and when is the prayer of many?

R. That is something you have to locate on your own.

S. According to what we read.

R. It is according to the agreement, but I'm talking practically, in the ten we have to discuss between us and to think how we are doing this. The convention as well, the prayer of the individual is what each one prays during the reading during all kinds of lessons, but the prayer of the many, when we pray for the many is also each and every one's decision however the prayer of many, when we all together enter one incorporation, that is something we have to work on.

S. Maybe I didn't understand there is the matter like we just read, a person prays in order to overcome his disturbances.

R. Yes.

S. Happiness and?

R. Yes.

S. Should you pass it to the ten to make it mutual?

R. You may, with agreement, if this is customary in the ten, go to the ten and ask for support, some explanation so that we will pray together.

Excerpt 7 Reader (01:47:52 - 01:49:40) reads twice

46. R. This is something we have to try, to try to summarize between us in the ten, that we try to connect and to think all of us for the sake of the Creator, having a special goal and a common thought and a special desire by everyone which is entirely connected to our source. We want to be connected and aimed at the source together, that is what is special about our times, being in the last generation. This is why the Creator answers this first, anyone who thinks he can do all of these things on his own is making a bitter mistake. Because he invested a lot and he is going to have a lot of confusion out of all of these personal idols that he is imagining because we are all together here in this last generation. We need all of us or at least every ten to be aimed at the Creator.

47. S. (01:51:17) About the work in the ten, people are speaking about the importance of being small towards them and seeing them as great, what if I discover that I'm small towards them I have to agree to it or I have to want to be big for them?

R. Both big and small as we learn, look what Rabash writes, both to annul before them, being like a zero I support everything because they are the greatest of the generation but also in the way that I pull and bring them, my tendency towards the Creator to them. That is how we advance in both.

48. S. (01:52:23) What is devotion to the Creator, to devote your soul to the Creator?

R. I cannot tell you because I also haven't reached that yet, these are degrees in each and every degree but it seems to me that what is good for us is to depict this for ourselves in a way that I have no other problem in the world, in my life. Rather I accept everything as an opportunity to always be adhered to Him, to ascribe myself to the correction of the world in order to discover the Creator in each and every detail and in the general picture. We as the created beings, we need the practice, not the nice words, but how is this expressed in the right action on our behalf? Devotion means that I attain the Partzuf of my Nefesh and I work on it so that it will reach entire devotion, the final correction. The final correction is when I work in my ten, in order to incorporate in my ten all of the still, vegetative, animate and speaking in reality and in this integration in my ten, I do it all in order to bring this whole structure to adhesion with the Creator. That is called devotion to give my devotion in this way to the Creator this is what each one of us should do and we will eventually reach the general correction of reality.

Excerpt 8 Reader (01:54:41 - 01:56:14)

49. R. It is such a big thing that I'm afraid to add anything to that, and you also don't ask. I just want you to write as we said, I just want you to write boardworldkli@gmail.com in all of your language is just write what you think about all of these lessons in the Congress, what to add. For instance, in today's lesson, we read basically only Baal HaSulam and Rabash, Maor vShemesh a bit, are we missing other verses from other sources should we have rather than 8 at least 10 versus or maybe even more? As we come to the congress, we're going to be more ready for that, maybe all of these verses that we're going to read in the Congress as well they will seem to us not sufficiently containing material about which way we should speak and unite it around. We will see, responses are advisable to have there, to receive. Accordingly, we can correct these lessons as we have time up to the congress to correct them.
