Morning Lesson May 26, Transcription
Pharaoh Brought Closer to the Creator - Selected Excerpts from the Sources, #6
1. Rav’s Introduction: Yes, we realize that the purpose of creation is not to overcome the will we receive but rather to achieve adhesion equivalence of form, the quality of complete connection with the upper force and to be like him. This is our work, the process that we're going through and this is the state that we begin to reach and what can help us in that, that each time the will to receive grows more and more and we discover that it is hindering us more and more. On the other hand, if we use it in the right way, it is actually the same matter in which we can reveal our adhesion with the Creator. That is the revelation of the will to receive as it is, we feel rejection, shame, the difference between us and the Creator and this awakens us. This nevertheless gives us some stature, some state you know in him. Then we can work on it in order to give separation between us, a different opposite characterization, connection if we try to rise above the separation to justify it and to use it only as coarseness because we don't need more than that. All of the rest we want to get from the Creator that he will help us to the very same degree to be in connection in adhesion and this is how we advance. That is once again, we discover in this, this principle that Pharaoh has brought closer, the will to receive that appears in us in all different forms, up to the most horrendous and terrible ones, it is awakening us by this through corrections and there is no other way. There was evening and night and morning one day. We are studying this also now in our lives that if we understand that the Creator is awakening us, in all possible means, that we feel that our operating on us hatred, rejection from everyone, on the one hand as much as we don't want, as we want to publicize the wisdom of Kabbalah, we feel repulsion and distancing from it. Accordingly, we need to realize that all in all the right process, that Pharaoh needs to be revealed in the opposite form of the Creator and he needs to show us that he is standing between us and the Creator. If I cancel them, if I rise above, if I run away from him, there already we need to see by which form I am nevertheless coping with this force that is separating between us and the Creator and by that we advance. This is why it says Pharaoh has brought us closer, this is truly a great principle, we see it each and every day each and every action from the smallest one to this general one. This is what is working on us, this is what we are going through and it is impossible to get closer to the Creator except for us feeling the hardening of the heart, the burdening of the heart is descending on us and we need to rise above it with the force of bestowal, the force of connection, the force of faith above reason, in all kinds of forms where specifically the revelation of Pharaoh is giving us life. Therefore, if we don't have the feeling of exile from spirituality there is no feeling of redemption either. The difference between the words exile (Galut) and redemption (Geoula) is the letter Aleph, which is the champion of the world, who is arranging all of this for us. Let's see how this Creator, the same Creator the upper force is sending Pharaoh to us and he is inviting us to get into Egypt and later of course, close in Pharaoh and he teaches us how we should come closer and move away through our ego with the vessels of reception in the vessels of bestowal and what should we do with them. All of this, it is actually the creator in concealment by dressing as Pharaoh he is teaching us. This is how he is advancing us.
Excerpt
6
(07:10)
2. R. (08:31) This is why we need to feel bad because we are far away from the Creator. We actually have everything besides one thing, that we have no connection with the Creator, and the importance of the connection with the upper force we have to constantly raise this importance in our 10 then a person will ask, cry out, that this is what he wants. And the Creator will help him. The moment that we ask for a connection with Him, that this is more important to us than all of the other states we feel, then He comes and helps, well, either He still adds to us the burdening, the hardening of the heart, the feeling that we are even further and farther away. Until we will see that I cannot stand this distancing, I have to discover Him. I have to come closer to Him and that way we can advance.
3. S. (9:54) He writes, here, that a person feels himself as the worst of everyone and he wants to cry to the Creator. Many times, you feel frozen and foggy but can you reach such an effective state where you can truly cry out and feel the worst off?
R. Start reading these excerpts, we're reading now, and go back to that thought that the Creator is doing this to you and He's doing it deliberately so that you will specifically yearn out of just a bad state, to realize that this bad is caused by the fact that you have no connection with Him. Then what does it mean, connection with Him? That you must have the quality of bestowal and connection, and through this quality when you connect with the friends, you can attain the Creator. But again, what is the difficulty here? There are few things here, there is the matter that you feel bad, so here you need to bring into that same place where you feel bad, the recognition for the reason of the bad and that reason is supernatural. The reason for the bad is that you're not connected with the friends and through them you're not connected to the Creator. All in all, we have two steps, in order to reach goodness, right? From the love of people to the love of the Creator. Then it turns out that the love of people is supernatural, unnatural, and the love of the Creator also unnatural if it is truly an honor to bestow. I have to climb up those two degrees through some external force. That is, by the fact that I am asking the Creator to do this work for me, I need to understand the importance of it. And then to ask that I will be in that state of love and connection with the friends, connection with the Creator and all of this is not natural. So, all of our work is in order for us to be connected together, as much as possible, even artificially. As much as we can, it doesn't matter in which form so long as we are connected because through our yearning for this connection, we awaken the reforming light. Even though we're not in connection but we imagine to ourselves, let's say, what does it mean to be in connection between us? So already light awakens and shines on us. That same light that needs to be revealed in us, in all of us together as one, and then it shines on us. That same reforming light gives us the feeling that we belong to the 10 and belong to the Creator. This is how we can move from our place; we can start advancing.
4. S. (13:41) Here it says that when a person cries out, we have a full, complete desire. What is that complete desire from which he can cry out?
R. When he sees that he is feeling bad, and that bad, he cannot pacify it in any way. This bad comes not in order for him to erase this bad but rather in order for him to use it in a purposeful way. And he even agrees with the bad feeling, staying so long as next to that bad, he will be able to build, truly, systems of connection between him and her friends, and the Creator. Then the bad becomes the foundation from which the person begins and by which he advances, he grows, develops. Such an attitude is something that he has to discover.
S. Not long ago I heard from you that a person, the 10 is one man and one heart, meaning you're already united, we're already to cry out and that's coming out of the united desire, is that true?
R. When they come out of the darkness, out of the exile, they feel like they are together, however they are still in the darkness. Then they develop the connection between them even more. They want it, demand it until the light appears and it, actually, connects them together in this new vessel that they feel. Even though they are all very different and distanced from each other, at the same time they are longing to be connected. The gap between them being disconnected and the connection that they want to have at the time that they are connected, this actually is what is showing us the power of the Kli that we are about to attain. And accordingly, the light is revealed between the desirable and the present state. According to this gap, this tension, the light is revealed.
5. S. (16:37) You said that we should feel as having everything except for the connection with the Creator and that becomes the most important to me compared to all the other states. Can we interpret it in such a way that we are in the home stretch and one of the signs is that only spirituality is important to us?
R. Each and every time we go up and down, up and down, but the reality, corporeality is important to us, spirituality is important to us. We care only about money, honor and knowledge then we care only about the Creator and bestowal. We always have these fluctuations. We need to understand that these two lines come in parallel. We should try to shift from the right to the left and from the left to the right all the time until the end of correction.
6. S. (17:53) The cry, the pain, is it necessary for advancement? Was it done like this intentionally?
R. I can't say that it has to be in that manner that you are describing it. But it needs to be the intensity of the desire. That I want something really strongly so imagine to yourself how do I want it? It's not like what is happening to us in this world, these are new qualities, different qualities. When we get there, we will see it.
7. S. (18:47) If I feel bad because I am distant from the Creator then I need to attain connection with the friends and raise a prayer in each moment, even when I am in the 10 or out of the 10. The question is, prayer is the only solution, there is no other way?
R. I don't know, where can you get a force of bestowal if you want it?
Excerpt 7 (19:46) Twice
8. S. (22:22) In both of these excerpts, this one and the previous one, Rabash writes there only was suffering and hard work can you reach a cry. But there's no Mitzvah, no commandment to suffering. So why through suffering and hard work can you reach the Creator?
R. You can bring your will to receive spirituality, that you very much wanted it and you feel joy in that, then you don't suffer. Go ahead. But we're talking about the fact that in between you reach a state where you very much want to advance, however you didn't yet get what is needed from those things that are good for advancement. Then you suffer. It's not compared to when you want to get something in your will to receive, directly, then you suffer. We are talking about the will to receive, about the longing, the deficiencies, inclinations, all of these things where I want something and I don't have it. The gap between what I have right now versus the desirable which I also feel that gap in between this and that is the feeling of the exile, feeling of distancing, and this awakens within me all kinds of negative states, negative feelings. Now along with that, if I am connected with a goal, then it might be that out of that I actually feel happy and good. But in between I, nevertheless, am in all kinds of states of darkness, of helplessness, inability to bestow, to help the friends even in such a way so that, in that too, I also reveal my lack.
S. So the correct path is when I am inside the sufferings and see the progress and that gives me joy?
R. You are already discovering in all of your states, along with the suffering that you feel, also pleasure. So that's good, already. This is already the correct attitude to the states you are going through. Yes, that in the darkness, also out of the darkness, you are actually blessing the Creator. This is the state that we need to long to be in. ‘Even if I will ‘walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear because you are with me’. But this is already a connection when the Creator is in the darkness. In that form, we can already talk about using the darkness correctly. “Then darkness will shine as light,” because the darkness becomes just half of the vessel, it’s the coarseness that is becoming revealed. Later on, the second half that becomes revealed, this is already the refinement and the reception of the light.
9. S. (26:06) It says, “it requires a decision to run away from them”. Where is that place to which I am running away?
R. This is, well, in which feeling in your heart, do you want to hide from what you feel or maybe it's the other way around, you want to emphasize the feeling and check it. Examine and correct it. It all depends on your preparation.
S. There is a very specific, clearly defined direction I know I’m escaping to?
R. You are always inside of your heart so scrutinize precisely which parts in the heart, which desires and what are you doing with them? Scrutinize it and you will see. Everything that we do, we are running inside of our heart, from one desire to the other, from one kind of understanding to another, etc.
10. S. (27:28) Recognition of evil, this is already salvation?
R. Recognition of evil is not redemption. Recognition of evil is just the recognition of evil. What do you do after you get to know evil? To the extent that you know that you recognize the evil, that recognition, does it pull you forward? So that in the recognition of evil you also attain the reasons and who's doing it and why? From what place is He awakening you? What is the purpose of the upper force who is awakening in you all kinds of these sensations that you call ‘recognition of evil’? If you correctly decipher the attitude of the upper one to you, out of that you realize what is it that you need to do. That is your response to the recognition of evil that you see, in that bad, good. Because by this, you are being taught ‘they’ want you to just take a step forward. This is why the recognition of evil brings the recognition of good.
11. S. (28:52) Do we need pain and suffering to reach the cry if we need it? Does it have to happen also in the 10?
R. Yes. It needs to happen in the 10 as well. But gradually, first of all, it happens personally, individually in the person. Then in the person towards the 10, and in the 10, somehow in such-and-such states where we come closer and then we move farther away. But in the end, as it says, “and the children of Israel sighed from the work.” That all of us, together, begin to feel that we are in a certain state which is a collective one. Then that correct sharing between them, the common outcry is what opens up for them the ability to enter the upper, spiritual dimension.
12. S. (30:19) How to come from a cry to the Creator because we feel bad, which is an egoistic desire to a desire to bestow to Him without any dependency on the feeling?
R. As I said right now, it has to be together with the friends. Nothing is going to help you unless you will be with them in a single desire.
Excerpt 8 (30:58) Twice
13. S. (33:43) It says ‘then comes a time what work a person has to do it's time to come?
R. He writes to you in the excerpt, what is he saying to you in the excerpt? If you heard it, it should be clear to you. (Rav reads excerpt) “When the people of Israel came to a state where they saw that they cannot escape from the bad. Meaning they saw that the power of the bad was on all sides and did not see any salvation by Nature, this is considered that the vessel of the bad has been completed.” That is, that I have bad, I cannot come out of it and I am seemingly lost, I am in it. “At that time, the Creator gives them the light, that this light reforms them. In other words, by this, they emerge from the governance of evil called vessels of self-reception and are rewarded with vessels of bestowal. This is the meaning ‘of stand by and see the salvation of the Lord which He will do for you today’. That is, if you come together, if you stand by together to see salvation, you will see that He's coming. That is, that once the vessel of the bad has been completed, they can see that there is nowhere to run to, back or forward or anywhere, then there is room for disclosure of light on the part of the upper one. This is considered the Creator is giving them the vessels of bestowal.” What are you asking?
S. How can a person express it in the work, this moment of ‘and then the time comes’?
R. What do you mean by ‘he expresses it’?
S. When a person decides that this is his state where if the Creator doesn't save him, he is lost.
R. According to what he decides, this is what he does.
S. How should a person express it correctly in the work to become a reality?
R. According to how much he is in it. I can't just decide now I am different than what I am. It is not a theater. We are born into how much one is in it, in the recognition of evil, and you want to rise above the ego. He understands and recognizes what it means to be inside the bad, in above the bad and accordingly he does it. He doesn't act, he doesn't play with himself. We are talking about the person to himself, how he is in a certain state.
Excerpt 9 (36:44) Twice
14. S. (39:15) I used to feel anger, I prayed not to feel it, I tried to run away from it. Lately I feel that without feeling this bad, I want to raise inside of me the importance of bestowal and the feeling is that I have to feel the good to the same extent that I feel the bad otherwise I will not feel the good properly. From here there's a question, is it correct to feel the evil and on the other hand, raise inside of me the importance of the good and should the two sides of the scale should be more or less balanced?
R. It's quite fine. We need not to run away from the bad or not be drawn just to the good. We need both the bad and the good to use both of them on the middle line in the right way. I need this and I need that. From the two of them I compose myself. I am the one who connects within me both the left and the right together, in such a way that I build myself and advance. Because these two forces come from the Creator. As it says, ‘the maker of light and the Creator of darkness’. Of course, there's a difference between Him, the Creator sending us light which is His force, and the darkness, which is Beria, creation outside of the Creator. But nevertheless, both of them come from Him which is why we need both of them. However, we need to have such relations between them that both the light and the darkness need to be in the right way, in the correct merger between them. You cannot have one without the other because then we would lose reality, where we are and what it is we are doing.
S. To be precise, at one point I noticed that the evil is helping me to put out the pride I was feeling and this balance is helping me out?
R. Yes, of course. This is how we feel ourselves and our emotions, our thoughts, in our awareness of who we are, self-awareness and what is the Creator doing with us. It all changes. We just have to follow the rules that we learn from the wisdom of Kabbalah. These are actually the laws of nature and how do we find these laws within us. How should we relate to them? How do we accept them? What kinds of adaptations do we go through towards these laws? How do we adapt them for our life? There is always bad and good, seemingly bad. Actually, we need to realize that there is no bad but rather that same bad that appears to us to be bad, it's also not bad. It is only in order for us, as created beings, to be able to discern what it means to be good? We cannot feel light unless there is darkness. This is why the Creator created darkness. And from where does the darkness come? From that very same light. This is why it says, ‘the maker of light and the Creator of darkness’. That the darkness is a lack of light. This is how we need to discover, more and more, that there is nothing in the darkness or in the darkness but a lack of light. Then we will form all kinds of actions and deeds in order for us to discover the light. Then we will see it as good.
15. S. (44:26) What is the idol worship, thank you?
R. Idol worship is when we want to reinforce our will to receive in order to receive.
16. S. (44:59) In the excerpt talks about different desires like the people of Israel, the nations of Israel, our father’s idol worshipping, should I recognize and identify within me all these qualities in order to advance in the world?
R. We'll get to it along the way of course you have to see in each verse a deep message from Rabash and Baal HaSulam how they appeal to you and they teach you who you are.
17. S. (45:47) What does it mean, a vessel of bad, is that our incorrect connection?
R. Yes that's the main thing you're right. That bad vessel, if you can call it that way, is an egoistic connection between us.
18. S. (46:15) Can we say that between the bad and the good there is light like the moon that is giving us a drop of light, a little bit of light, in the dark of night?
R. Correct even the bad that we feel, we feel it because it has a lot of light in order to reveal it otherwise you won't be able to determine that it is bad. A little bit of light, a little bit of good, so you will see that you are in the bad.
19. S. (46:58) Here it says that the vessel after the bad is formed there's place for the light and you said that this is gradual state that develops from the individual to the complete elective vessel so should I or any of the friends when we feel that state of descent to state Tof ,bad, should I share it in the group in order to establish this complete vessel and if so it's not quite clear to me this after the nation by Rabash that anyone who comes to the group should care for uplifting the spirit of the friends?
R. You are right we have to always think about how we speak, how we behave in the group. So that in each and every morning we are concerned with, how are we raising the group higher and higher towards the greatness of the Creator, the greatness of bestowal, the greatness of connection. Only this is our goal. I care about strengthening the group, the connection between the friends more than my own personal state, because my personal state is not spirituality and this state of the 10 is spiritual state. Hence it doesn't matter for me if I am up or down, in states of ascent or descent. If I am using my state whatever it may be to bring the group certain addition and in connection meaning in spiritual ascension, then I am willing for it to seemingly bring me a descent, it doesn't happen but even that. Meaning I should always evaluate myself according to what can I bring to the group, what I cause in the group. Then as a result I need to behave appropriately, accordingly. my personal state. I do not take into consideration at all only my contribution to the group. this is my spiritual “I” as much as I can put myself into the group and bring to rise to connect to ascend higher this is my spiritual self.
Excerpt 10 (50:04) Twice
20. R. (51:38) We only have one upper force, he forms light, he creates darkness, all the ascents and descents, all our states come from one force, we should not divide this place, meaning the upper force, the Creator into two, a good Creator and a bad Creator. As if they are two different forces. where one of them I received from the will to bestow and one I received from the upper will to receive no, never, besides everything comes from there is nothing else besides him and that's how I have to relate to it. Return to that single force if you have problems, only to him, because there is simply nothing else that exists. It's a serious principal, because according to our life it is hard for us to connect the good in the bad to one force. But because we learned that we need to connect everything to the good and the bad also only exists only in order to bring us to the good and everything exists so that we would learn as quickly as possible that the bad, evil as bad, as it's written the Pharaoh brought the children of Israel closer to the Creator. We don't have a more loyal first Pharaoh to bring us to the Creator so accordingly we need to relate to our reality in this way we are always dealing with the Creator and he always bestows what we feel the result from his bestowal, his influence. There is nothing else besides him and he is only the good who does good. and as much as we can feel it inside of us in our existence, bad feeling, bad phenomena, nevertheless we have to discover as we correct our vessels that everything is Mercy. Mercy although they pass over us maybe in a harsh way possibly.
21. S. (54:39) It's more and more clear that our work for ourselves and our work for the world is to give an explanation of what's Happening, but along with the explanation we need the emotion and that is the problem, we can explain, but we don’t have the accompanying emotion to give the world.
R.
Because
we
have
a
problem
that
we
don't
understand
specifically
those
bad
or
evil
forces
that
operate
on
us,
we
do
not
need
to
resist
them.
We
do
not
need
to
resist
them,
we
need
to
rise
above
them
to
the
good
force
to
understand
that
they
are
pushing
to
advance
towards
the
Creator,
these
bad
or
evil
forces.
Let's
say
those
forces
that
are
now
operating
on
Jews
everywhere
anti-Semitism
in
general
around
the
world
they
work
on
different
forms,
lower
forms
through
famine
and
suffering
disease
and
pandemics,
whatever
it
is,
all
these
forces
in
the
end
are
gradually
from
the
forces
who
work
on
the
lowest
spiritual
corporeal
level
to
those
that
work
on
very
high
degrees.
All
those
forces
work
on
us,
operate
on
all
of
us
in
order
to
advance
us
towards
the
Creator.
The
more
we
feel
and
understand
and
accept
it
as
such
that
there
is
nothing
in
the
world,
no
feeling
in
anyone
and
everyone,
nothing
is
done
except
to
advance
us
towards
the
end
of
correction
is
operating
on
everyone,
on
people
and
animals
and
vegetative,
the
inanimate
objects,
on
everything.
If
we
understand
this
principle
that
there
is
nothing
else
besides
to
bring
us
to
the
end
of
correction,
and
we
invest
as
much
as
ourselves
in
it,
personal
participation
and
we
don't
rise
in
order
to
destroy
these
evil
forces
but
only
to
correct
them.
This
is
the
correct
form
especially
in
this
time
of
the
last
generation.
We
need
to
understand.
If
you
wish
to
receive
reality
properly,
you
should
come
to
know
that
everything
that
rises
against
you
in
all
of
its
forms
is
only
in
order
to
make
you
a
man,
a
human
so
you
will
advance
towards
adhesion
with
the
Creator.
If
you
accept
it
this
way,
you
should
act
this
way
and
you
have
no
need
to
bring
this
bad
on
top
of
all
the
evil
forces
that
appear
to
you
as
evil
that
come
to
you
seemingly
against
you,
let's
say
it
could
be
various
natural
forces
volcanoes,
tsunamis,
or
forces
that
come
to
you
from
the
vegetative
degree
or
inanimate,
animate
degree
like
diseases
and
viruses,
pandemics,
or
from
the
speaking
degree
which
is
people.
Other
people
who
rise
up
and
want
to
kill
you
and
obliterate
you
from
this
world.
All
of
this
is
where
the
Creator’s
work,
it
is
the
Pharaoh
and
through
that
he
is
bringing
us
closer
to
the
right
work.
Instead
of
what
they
are
doing
we
need
to
perform
our
actions
correctly.
To
accept
it
in
such
a
way
that
we
need
to
move
by
the
way
it
doesn't
settle
in
our
corporeal
brains
but
we
have
to
bring
about
more
connection
between
us.
Connection
that
is
aimed
at
the
revelation
of
the
Creator
here
in
this
world.
If
we
try
to
respond
to
all
of
our
problems
on
all
levels
of
nature,
see
them
all
that
come
in
and
apply
this
pressure
on
the
human
species
and
on
us
especially
in
Bnei
Baruch
if
we
see
it
this
way,
we
will
succeed
that
everything's
coming
from
above
and
any
everything
for
one
purpose.
S. Every friend has some kind of fear about something. Where is the correct place to put the fear?
R. Even this fear comes from the Creator, the Creator awakens the darkness in a person this feeling of darkness is fear. I don't know who I am. I am dealing with fear. I don't know what will come to me, this is fear, mostly fear of the unknown.
S. Can we use this force that is appearing in us? Can we use this fear? Where's the correct place to put it?
R. Fear, yes, it is written in the Zohar in the Introduction to the Book of Zohar it is written about the first second and third types of fear, trepidation. Trepidation from this life, all the way up to spiritual fear will I have or have not, these are all shells or degrees by which we advance to the true state. The true fear we need to come to, from all of our fears is towards him, the fear of whether or not I will be able to bestow contentment to the Creator. Out of all the different kinds of fear the Zohar explains in the first volume of the books of Zohar.
22. S. (01:02:23) What is the common relation between the force of pharaoh and idol worshipping?
R. The first of Pharaoh is the force of the Creator that appears negatively and it's posterior. It burdens us, that he places these various obstacles on our path so we would learn how to follow the path of the Creator more correctly. It is as Rabash writes that one rich person wanted to teach his son a certain profession, a skill, so he sends him to a work and one of those factories and he tells one of the people that work there even to get him some trouble, what for? He will learn how to get along with people, how to work the machines and the papers and we need to understand obstacle or all these obstacles are life in order to teach us the new way along the way and then we will be like Adam, the one who resembles the Creator. here's no need to be afraid of it just to relate to all of these states if you are in a group and every time you wish to balance your inner state in the 10, in the group, then you will always stop problems correctly. If it's not in the group, it will cost you a great deal of time and energy until you somehow suffer from all the bad and don't know what to do with it. That's why we need to at least once or twice a day we need to connect between us in a group in order to see in this connection according to the balancing, order of balance where everyone and all of us are together.
23. S. (01:05:05) You said more than once that the prayer of the individual is like crying out in the desert, so it is not clear, how should we work together with whatever the Creator is revealing to each one of us each and every day?
R. That we would cry out together. That's it together we will raise a cry. In our work we have one goal and there is no difference between us, we are all the same after all except in our inner feeling we vary but in truth everyone has the same problems, in the end the same thing, there is nothing that separates us seriously except for the evil inclination that inner inclination and we have to obliterate this to raise the connections between us above it and then it'll work itself out.
24. S. (01:06:23) Why even though we study and try to follow your advice we only learn through blows and not advancing in a good way?
R. Those are not blows hat is simply the Creator showing us are empty desires, he's not revealing blows, only are empty desires and to the extent where we can arrange those empty desires correctly in order to aim them at the revelation of the Creator in his direction in order to bestow towards the connection between us. If we can arrange what he is revealing in us correctly we don’t suffer, but without feeling it, the suffering even to the small extent, we will not pay attention to these phenomena we will not have any desire to start. Because the beginning of every desire, the beginning of the work is to relay to it as something painful. Something that bothers me until I add to it my awareness, my understanding, who is giving this to me, why, what for, to what end. It's not like the Creator wishes to hurt us, he wants us to jump in order to bestow the right way with balance, with the form of embracing him.
25. S. (01:08:17) You said in the introduction to the lesson that on one hand once a week to publicize the wisdom of Kabbalah and we feel rejection and get distance and cooling down from it how can we feel this hardening of the heart?
R. We need to raise the importance of the Creator, the importance of creation, the importance of the state of all human beings more than how good and not good I feel. How do I do it? Again, by asking, receiving strength from these texts. These texts, I read them and I also read them yesterday and then I felt really good about it gave me a sense of upliftment. these verses. I go over them and I add periods and commas and I make all sorts of markings in them to make it easier for me to read it before you or to add something it helps me greatly. I highly recommend it. We have a place in the archive where everything that we went through can be found. Those excerpts that are friends prepare for us, I really love them. I am very connected to the excerpts, I highly recommend it. it works on us much more than an article because an article is big and it is taking you Meandering through various states here, it is on point, straight to the point.
26. S. (01:10:37) When the Creator hardens the heart and I want to bestow he shows me more how I am in order to receive, why is it that, when the Creator hardens my heart I turned to him that I want to bestow and he even shows me that I am it's absorbed in order to receive, why does he do it?
R. Perhaps to add an additional place for overcoming because you are capable of more or perhaps you didn't take correctly what you did to you, either way it is for your own good.
S. I understand from this that I have to work with the friends so how do I express myself in the 10 so that everything when everything in me is in order to receive?
R. You don't need to do it, you need to rise above it towards the friends and try with all of the will to receive, even more you need to try to be in adhesion with them above your will to receive and that's how we advance.
R. Don't forget about what we read. It's happening all the time with us. There's no other action from above but you bring us closer to the Creator whatever it may be in this life from birth to death. We go through an exalted goal and that is to bring us closer to the Creator and although I'm not responding like all people in this world. I know we act a bit more, we are in a group already. We are in this process where we demand the Creator to advance us. It doesn't matter the level we are in but all in all the end of correction is guaranteed and we are coming to it therefore there has to be a feeling of inner joy. Let's move towards it.
