1. Rav’s Introduction: To obliterate or blot out the memory of Amalek. But where is he? Where is he, this Amalek? They say that he doesn't reach anywhere, but only those who want to come out of Egypt, who want to come out of their evil inclination, their ego, and come closer to the Creator. Then, Amalek jumps on or is revealed within such people, but he doesn't let them leave that state of Egypt, the state where they are in the will to receive and it is managing them. They are in captivity inside of him. Before that we don't feel the captivity. There is the good Pharaoh, or more or less, but it's not that they are truly in a prison that they cannot leave. There are people who can live in prison and not feel that it is prison, that it is locking them in. It doesn't limit them. This is how we are in this world. We can live and even enjoy and build here all kinds of games and fulfillments for ourselves and think that this is life and there is no more. Only those people who want to come a little bit more out of this world, to discover, to feel, they begin to see that it is not simple. We are precisely in that transition. You might say in the beginning of this transition. This is why to the extent that we are performing all kinds of actions and we don't even know quite what to do, then occasionally an egoistic desire appears in us that does not allow us to have a desire to connect to the friends.

It doesn't push us to reach out to the society, or to a meeting of the friend's, or to all kinds of such actions. Rather, to the opposite, it pulls us as much as possible in all kinds of different forms and manners and excuses that we don't have to come closer to each other: instead of that, we can just study TES, even though we don't understand what it is we are studying, etc. That is, the problem is that we don't quite understand what does it mean to advance by ourselves. On the other hand, if we say that we need to resemble the Creator, the Creator is above the good force and the bad force. Both of them are in his hands. He himself is the force of bestowal and love and he created opposite that, in the created beings, the opposite desire. A will to receive and also hatred and rejection, the ego and we seemingly exist between the two of them. If we would be operating only out of our ego it would be good; if we would be operating only out of the will to bestow, it would also be good. But, if we exist in between the two of them, already we feel ourselves in a bad state. One time is this, one time is that descents and ascents, all kinds of changes in our state and we don't know what to do.

Here, we truly need to position ourselves on the correct basis that we have to manage the bad force and the good force. It doesn't matter how we call it, good or bad, these two forces, the force of connection and the forces of separation, bestowal and reception-- we have to manage these two forces by ourselves. To be like the Creator means to be above these two forces and to manage them, both of them. Usually, we think that the good force is the Creator and the bad force is what he awakens in us, so then we have to cope with the bad. But we also have to cope with the good force. We have to awaken it as well. That is, we have to awaken both of these forces and manage them in tandem. As, let's say, we are driving a car or using any kind of instrument, usually we have to control two opposite forces, the plus and the minus, left and right, etc. It's not just with one force. Therefore, we have to not wait until the bad force awakens in us in order to search for where is the opposite good force, the connection with the Creator, but rather, we by ourselves need to awaken the bad and the good, and not to just be without any action, simply in standby mode, silent.

Therefore, it says that man should always awaken the bad force over or against the good force, and one should manage that war between them. Between us really, we should not look at these two forces as though one is preferred above the other, because there is no bad without the good and no good without the bad. Rather, only in the relation between them we can find exactly at the neutral point between them. Bare working on us. We can awaken them. This is how we build ourselves in a way that we are incorporated with both of them equally, and we can awaken the bad force and upon it later, we can bring the good force, and that way build the system, build our system. To hold on to both of them with both of our hands and see before us the final goal where these two forces, the good force and the bad force, will connect correctly, and through the connection between the two of them, we will build the state of the end of correction. Where the bad force comes and it is revealed entirely, the good force comes and balances it, it corrects it, and that way, with the right combination between the good and the bad, we reach the balanced state, which is correctly organized, let's say. In short, we have to manage with both of our hands the process of our advancement until we reach the correction. In this process we must not wait for the bad force to come.

Many times, we are in the state where it's not this and it's not that, but rather, it's kind of a state where one is seemingly in the air. I don't have anything bad or anything good, life goes by, the days go by, and there is no benefit out of it. Rather, I need to try, as it says, one should always agitate the bad inclination over the good inclination and that way advance. So, we have to try to always be in a state where these two forces exist next to us and we are constantly trying to be in this war. In this management, we are trying to rise with the force of the right, the good force, bestowal, over the bad force. But of course, we also have to maintain the bad force, the force of reception. Without the bad, the good will disappear. Upon what will we feel it, discover it, as good? Therefore, to make it precisely have this correct balance between the bad and the good, between rejection and the inclination towards connection, between the will to receive and the will to bestow, like all opposing forces in nature, the most important thing is the balance. This is our work, the middle line. The middle line is called exactly Israel, Yashar Kel. It aims us to the Creator, who is above these two forces, and we from below also need to arrange ourselves in such a way to establish our states, and in that way to advance and to go forward.

This is why, if we feel in some moment in our life that we are seemingly cancelled, it's not bad, it's not good, it's nothing, it is a sign that we are not awakening the bad force. Now you might say, how come? What do I need it for, to awaken that bad force? Without the bad force, I will have nothing to work on with the good force. This is why, as it says, there was no joy before him, before the Creator, for he created the Heaven and the Earth, these two opposing things, so that from that moment on, it becomes possible to start arranging the correct connection between them, the correct control of one over the other. But without the bad force, the good force will disappear; without the good force, the bad force will not be revealed, because the revelation of each and every force is in order to be opposite the other one. We have to realize our role, to balance the bad and the good together. Because we are actually from the bad force and we have to correct it through the good force so that the two will be in balance. Darkness shall shine as light. The bad force will be revealed only in order to emphasize the good force, the force of the light. The darkness has to be there so that I will see. If there will only be light, I won't be able to see that it is light. I need the contrast, the difference between the two of them, the boundaries that we prefer one over the other, etc. There is a lot of material about it, many excerpts that talk about it. We can find them.

The most important thing is that what we need to do is to constantly discover the evil, the bad, in order to bring upon it the good force. This has to be to begin with. When we get there, we have to discover the good force, the Creator, and for that, we have to discover the bad force, the force of separation, and the collision, the conflict between them. Meaning, it should be clear to us to begin with, what is it that we are doing every moment in life: we want to bring the good force, and for that, we have to discover beforehand the bad force. The bad states have to be revealed first, even though the good force should be ready for work first of all. So first, we have a connection with the Creator, we learn how to do it, how to arrange the 10 and all of these things. Later on, once we have that, then we begin to scrutinize where do we have any evil, where do we have something that is wrong, and then we discover it. After it is pretty much clear where it is, then we are concerned about how we balance the bad force with the good force. Then we can advance on the middle line, which is called the Golden path, towards the purpose of creation. This is how it is each and every time, so we are always in the middle and stepping forward correctly from success to success. This is why we have to discover all the trash, the waste, in order to discover that place.

Like the Creator says, I have created the evil inclination. There was no joy before him, like the day when the Heaven and the Earth were created. Both of these things. This is why we have to try. Most importantly is not to just sit idly. As it says, a fool sitting idly, eating his own flesh. That is the worst possible thing. We burn a lot of time in these states where it's not here, it's not there. Therefore, arranging one against the other, the good force and the bad force, one opposite the other, and to be with the good spirit even when we only feel bad and we are now searching for what might be the good that could balance it to the middle line. We should be happy. Just don't be idle. Don’t be idle without any work. That's on the one hand. On the other hand, the moment that we feel that the bad force is eating us up, is working on us, and it's not that we have invited it, but rather, it is drawn from above, immediately, we have to approach its correction. Even though it is preferable that we will invite both the good and the bad by our own forces between us. We need to learn how we do it in the society, in the group.

Then it is a lot easier and quicker and more accessible, when we invite the bad and we also invite the good. We are not afraid of the fight, in awakening things that are kind of stinging as much as possible; because by that, we can scrutinize and increase our connection and our understanding and the love between us. As it says, love covers all crimes. If there are no crimes, there wouldn’t be any love. So, let us not be afraid. Let's go forward, but in a mature way, with both of these forces, just like we are holding a steering wheel. In such a way, we will continue onward. We can see these things even in our corporeal life. All of the correct actions become clear and are activated by two opposite forces, always, and this stems from the upper systems. Where I have created the evil inclination, I have created the spice of Torah. We need to be between the two of them, to take the evil inclination, that certainly the Creator created with a purpose, and the spice of Torah in order to correct it, and by balancing the two of them, we need to reach revelation, until we will reveal Amalek and correct him. There is no greater correction than when we bring the force of the right, the force of bestowal, upon the force of reception.

We neutralize it, seemingly, from the bad, and then we turn this bad into good. Meaning the bad force joins the good force and we advance. It's not that they cancel out, but rather, they are advancing us, promoting us, towards the goal, so that the bad force joins the good force, and the two of them work together. We need to learn this, how to do it. But in truth, when a person starts to grasp and to see this process, how we go through it, he sees how correct and good it is, and what kind of relief he starts to feel within when everything starts being organized as a single path leading towards the goal. There's no bad in the world. No bad. Everything is only good. Then, the Creator is called good and doing good to the bad and to the good, to everyone, and everyone sees this complementation. We will scrutinize all of these things. In the meantime, we are continuing with the blotting out, the obliteration of Amalek. The correction starts with us having to correct the intention to receive so that it will disappear, and all of the force that we should have from this action with Amalek, we take from him all of the forces from the will to receive, and by it, we elevate, we increase, the will to bestow. Why?

Because the level of Bina is a very weak one: it's milk; it's the mother; it's the good force; the force of bestowal; the broad heart; it is all like that. If we connect to it the force of Amalek, specifically, the bad force, in such a way that it surrenders under the force of Bina, the force of bestowal, then the force of Bina gets power. It's no longer neutral, it's not just milk; it becomes blood, it becomes a very strong force. This is how we advance. This is why we need to learn how to work with it. To kill Amalek means the intention of in order to receive, but to take from him all of the forces and transfer this force to bestowal. This is why we need to know how to manage these things together. By that, we are building out of ourselves that same force, that height, which is like the Creator. Like the Creator. This is what it says, “return oh Israel all the way to the Lord your God.” Then we are truly on the right work, bringing ourselves back to the Creator. All of this exists in the blotting out of Amalek, which means only the intention of in order to receive; however, we do need his force. Without his forces, we cannot rise. The degree of bestowal is very passive, neutral. If we don't add to it, this forceful power of reception that wants to rule, then the force of bestowal cannot rise, and it remains on the degree of Hafetz Hesed, delighted in Mercy. That is, powerless.

Now we will answer a few questions that you will have, and then we will go along with the text, and what we are asking from ourselves, from all of us, is that we will try not to be idle in our whole life. That we want, each and every moment, to use it. If we don't have any desire, any force, what should we do? We, by ourselves, need to do it. As it says, one should always agitate the evil inclination over the good inclination. We need to search. Where are these forces, these desires, intentions, thoughts, that are against connection, against unity, and to start even from the corporeal level in our connection in the group. It doesn't matter where it is. The most important thing is that I awaken myself, ultimately, to advance towards the Creator. It's a lot to talk about, but we will learn about it later from the excerpts. Now, also, and we will prepare additional ones. The most important thing is to not sit idle. If I feel that I am not drowning the good force over the bad force, the force of connection upon the force of separation, the force of the Creator upon the force of the created being, or the Creator upon Amalek; if I do not arrange it in such a way that one will be upon the other, then I am idle. I am not advancing. I am just standing still and standing still doesn't help me in any way. About this, it says, a fool is sitting idle, eating his own flesh. So, let us try to establish ourselves correctly and to use each and every moment for advancement.

2. S. (25:32) I heard you always said in the past that we don't need to relate to the bad Force. What is that negative force you are talking about, how do we awaken?

R. I said something some time ago and now I'm saying something different so you're right what you're recalling what I said before because then we were learning how we do not pay attention to the bad force because we didn't know yet how to manage it like that. e're not doing anything just like a little child, a baby when he is born whatever he does it's all for the better, we don't criticize him at all, nothing, if he broke something, if he did something, it doesn't matter, what it is the most important thing is that he is alive. Later on, he grows up then we already need to relate to him differently. We can explain to him this is forbidden, this is not worthwhile, watch out, do this, this is better. We start to teach him how to scrutinize his actions, what he can do in order to become a human being.

Adam means to be similar to the Creator, that's what we're trying to do right now we're not trying to work with the evil inclination but now we're starting to study this. How to work with the evil inclination in order to rise to the degree of Adam to resemble the Creator. As much as the evil inclination will grow in you. You have to be on top of it, to manage it correctly, to make it similar to the Creator. Otherwise, it will not happen, it will not take place so let us try to study this. There was a time when we didn't pay attention to the evil inclination as if it doesn't exist. Just for it to let us have established let's say the first connection in the 10. So I have to see everyone is good, there is no evil, there's nothing, seemingly we want to neutralize it, erase it, not to take my evil inclination into account with respect to the friends, everything is good and anyone who sees anything bad, and disqualifying is to disqualify in his own flaws and I'm not trying to go further but now it's the opposite if I have any complaints against the friends if I don't want anything here or there if I don't want to advance towards the Creator.

If I don't want to think about in order to bestow to the friends and to the Creator then I have to be interested in those qualities that are becoming revealed in me because on them I can grow. I want to move on to the next phase where we grow as a result of the evil inclination that becomes revealed in us and this is how we will advance and you will see how much you are now entering a creative process just like the Creator says you have made me. How do we make him? we bring the opposition force of bestowal, the force of Bina upon the bad force, the evil inclination and we wrapped the force of bestowal over the force of reception and then we get the Creator, BoReh, come and see, from which this evil inclination is working in order to bestow, the form of Adam which is in order to be so. Is this clear, if it's not clear, listen to this lesson again and go ahead and ask, there's no problem with that, we have to realize that this is a new stage in our development, a more practical stage. This is how it will unfold.

3. S. (30:23) How can the 10 know that it's ready for the revelation of evil or what to add so it will happen?

R. if the 10 exists correctly that is it is going along with us, they are in all of the lessons and with these lessons over the morning lesson, it repeats this throughout the day which I very much recommend. I myself go through these lessons, I make these lessons, I get the text I read them, I prepare myself for the lesson also because I have to pass it to my students, to the children I have to think about it. I have to think about how I find the words, the way to convey it so that they will understand that way they will be impressed by it, inspired and they will want to keep it. Let us work with one opposite the other one with the other just like I prepare myself to the lesson so you should prepare yourself to the next lesson. Well, we may do that at some point but in the meantime at least you should go over the previous lesson again the morning lesson.

4. S. (32:06) How can we capture and keep the balance between these two opposite powers so that we may construct a that would enable us to continue with its stability in the middle line?

R. This is what we are trying to do right now. In the beginning of the work is in that I check myself, can I be connected, adhered to, devoted to the Creator in order to bestow through the society in some way, if I see that I can't then I have a place to work. When some desire awakens in me that is pulling me in all directions maybe I'm criticizing everyone in the Creator and I'm not content with my life. Here I have to arrange myself so that I am first of all happy that the Creator is giving me work, this is why it says that one should only always agitate the evil inclination upon the good inclination and I myself have to do it. Even if I don't see that the evil inclination is being revealed and hindering me and slandering me with all kinds of disregard for the spiritual work for connection between us.

We have to constantly awaken the society each one in the ten and the society in general at least from this lesson and onwards that we check ourselves am I with this forces that I have the force of resistance to the Creator, to the group and also a force that I crown over that force of rejection, which is the force of connection, I am with these two forces. I am happy, content that I have these two forces because from the two of them I will also see the middle line, which is the way that leads me to correction, the end of correction. The end of correction is when we have the entire evil force that is revealed and the opposite force that is revealed and this is how we build the image of the Creator has revealed in us. To the extent we are capable of crowning the good force of love and connection upon the bad force that is inside rejection, separation that needs two forces when one is inside, the others outside. When these two forces are operating in such a way we advance and we build out of ourselves the image of the Creator inside the image inside is resistance rejection outside is bestowal, love and connection.

5. S. (35:42) You always said that we should aspire only to the good, love, connection and the Creator will add the coarseness to us and today we should also awaken the bad, what does it mean?

R. We need to be concerned that if I am without the bad force and if I am trying to be in a good force then promptly the evil force awakens. I cannot awaken my ego by myself, it is not in my hands and in general it is not even my business. My business is to perform corrections over the bad force with the good force so if I don't discover the bad force, if the Creator does not reveal it from above, it is a sign I am not ready for it. Then I need to try to perform such actions towards connection and coming closer between us and immediately I should detect that I don't want it, I don't feel like it, I forget about it again and again and I do something else. Meaning by this I awaken it, this is what we mean by which one should always agitate the bad forces upon the good and the good force upon the bad force, the good inclination upon the bad inclination and vice versa.

6. S. (37:30) Now when we are learning about the force of Amalek we can feel this special force that repels one from the connection with the ten even when we participate in all the events, the zoom there is such a feeling together with how we fall from this connection during the day with the friends together with that we add the force and hold on to it as well?

R. You can build the good force for it to be next to you if you don't have the one for the Lord has made one against the other. The Creator makes these two forces together parallel if you truly want to awaken the bad force then it is if you want to make it bigger through the good, to cover it with the good. If you want to discover the good force then you must have something over which this good force will be revealed so you have to have the bad force. This is why we actually have to be happy in that the will to receive the egoistic desire awakens in us rejections, the conflict, friction and all kinds of incorrect relations between us. Because this is the place to work upon this we can more and more and more draw the light and give it a place to be revealed and to cover and cover and cover all of these crimes that are being revealed, this is called that love covers all crimes. How will we discover that?

S. It is clear that we need together with that in parallel how to add the good?

R. By turning to the Creator through the group. why through the group? Because where do you discover the bad, we're not going to discover this evil in our corporeal life but only in the connection between us where this evil gets a spiritual characterization. See this is why we are talking about work in the group here. In our own world there is no character in any place in a spiritual manner upon which you can work unless it is in the connection between the friends where the Creator is revealing disregard between them, some kind of quarrel between them. Then we have to cover those things with love with connection by what, by bringing the Creator closer, cover it so that the good force will be upon the bad force and this sandwich must always be growing more and more.

S. If you find out about this feeling of derision and disregard you don't have the strength away from the friends, how to catch the Amalek by the tail and pull the Creator into it immediately?

R. You need to feel project love and confidence on the path this is the way it is the good. This is the way the bad force is always being revealed and I'm always happy with the revelation of the evil. As Baal HaSulam says I'm happy when the wicked ones become revealed, when they come out of their holes, without those wicked ones we would have zero hopes for correction. The revelation of evil is already the beginning of the salvation, a person who doesn't feel bad in his life, seemingly the Creator doesn't want him to advance. From where do we advance out of the lack in our life the Creator, gave us a feeling of lack of deficiency and it seems to us that we cannot reach anything good corporeally, in our family, at work, in all kinds of other things, there is no sufficient filling in it there. This is why we all came to the wisdom of Kabbalah we are here because we feel ourselves as empty, not successful. There is something in life but we are not able to achieve it other people are achieving it with all kinds of small earthly goals and they're willing to get this time in the fulfillment from life and they settled for it but we can’t, we can’t. Sometimes we once again return to corporeal business and come back and again we come back to the wisdom of Kabbalah, the wisdom of the spiritual fulfillment.

S. What does it mean that I discover the state when there is a certain repulsion? What does it mean that I blot Amalek?

R. To obliterate Amalek means to erase the intention to receive and instead bring an intention to bestow. When we are in separation in some conflict and instead of it, we bring connection and love. Just like we see this in families many times subconsciously, couples awaken some kind of friction between them, right and it's as if they are not happy with each other, it's as if they sting each other in some way a little bit like playing some kind of game. Why is that, in order to awaken the love, awaken the embrace. We see this happening in our life, if we become experts in awakening the bad in order to discover the good then we will be able to bring peace all over the world because people do not understand the nation's, the superpowers, the countries. They don't understand that following all of the frictions between them stands truly the desire for connection however they don't know how to express it correctly we will talk about it later on so it won't confuse us. But in truth and families we see this sometimes that a couple where everything is good, they feel that something is missing, some kind of pepper and spice that we want to add to the relations between us because otherwise it is impossible, love covers all crimes, love cannot be without crimes. This is why one who knows how to walk with these two lines in a waking the bad force and also by covering it with the good force he has the two forces in life in reality and then he can advance until he truly reaches the end of correction with all of these desires, he acquires this cover and then he reaches the absolute complete love.

S. So in this 10 how should we awaken this pepper the spice?

R. You need to try in the 10 when we're starting to learn about it, you need to try and arrange, establish this state that we have a bad the good and how we are constantly in this balanced state where evil is revealed, we are happy about it and we come to it with a good covering. Until the evil is revealed in such a way that when we cover it with the good, we will discover the Creator himself, he will begin to reveal himself. Meaning we are starting to learn with you about the action of receiving, revealing spirituality and practice.

7. S. (46:47) As far as I understand Amalek is the opposite force and if we struggle with it, it keeps us only, why are we trying to erase or destroy it?

R. We don't destroy the force, we destroy the intention. Amalek is separating us specifically because it was revealed as the thing that separates us, we wish to make of these two forces of separation, the force of connection because with only one we can make a revelation, we take Amalek and we turn him into the Creator. Amalek is the revelation of the Creator, the force of connection and the opposite side, the negative side instead of the positive side. That's it, so we need to rejoice when it appears and we're not running away, we're not falling, we don't curse out those states when the evil forces reveal. On the contrary we have to turn the evil force into the good force, there is no light except the one that emerged, that grew out of the darkness and specifically by growing out of darkness the light can exist, it is written.

8. S. (48:36) This exercise of awakening the bad force is this work that we have to do only when we reach the degree which is between Egypt and the land of Israel or should we work on it now when we understand it according to what you are teaching us?

R. Do you have a 10?

S. Yes, dear Rav, I do.

R. Okay very good, if you have a 10, do you have states where you're not connected beautifully, you don't feel that you are closed through your disposition towards the Creator and spirituality if you have misunderstandings, lack of connection, lack of consideration, if you feel you are not whole, this is already the revelation of Amalek the force of the ego with which you can work. If it is not in the 10, we don't have such examples in life, not in family, not in work, no, only in the 10, Meaning the 10 people more or less will have a spiritual goal to reach the Creator that's why they have to build a system where the Creator can appear according to equivalence of form between them and the relationships between us. They form such a relationship between us where the Creator can clothe himself there reveal himself there then you have a place for work that's why it says either connection or death either, you are in the 10 or you are dead spirituality there is no chance of reaching it.

9. S. (51:09) How can we place the good above the bad?

R. If we discover the bad between us, that the important thing is their relationships between us in the 10 and the relationships between us and the Creator where we don't feel I am attracted to him, I don't care, he's in such a state where he is neither here nor there, it's like a dead state. There's nothing worse than that I have to immediately look for ways to reveal either a longing for the Creator or repulsion from the Creator, it doesn't matter. It's even written in kabbalistic text that a person who wishes to bless the Creator or curse the Creator is more important than a neutral state, he doesn't want to even belong to it, doesn't even want to talk because then he has a force of ejection and what to work with and how to bring the explanation to this state. But this is why we need to try and be in this way. Each and every moment we need to see how I am drawn to the Creator more and more and if not, what is the evil force that stands against and awakens me in the opposite way that's why the evil inclination is called the help against him, this way by being against the Creator, by awakening me in this way it is helping me, it is help against.

10. S. (53:20) How should we awaken the bad and to what extent?

R. Look, we can scrutinize this while we are in a group but on the condition that from the get-go, we are going to increase the goal, the connection of love between us. Hence when we awaken our intention through that is to reveal the good force that's why it says that ‘anywhere you turn, turn to the right. Right means the force of bestow. We have to awaken that first, and then from that to continue toward the forces of rejection, the bad, opposite forces. Try to do it and see just to what extent you are going to be yearning for the Creator, His help, as ‘He who makes peace above and in the end of correction, there's complete connection between good and evil, He will also make peace upon us.’ We will also have a part of the end of correction and we'll connect with the right combination with the evil forces and will feel to what extent the good forces are revealed. We cannot have the good forces of connection and love, which is the Creator, we cannot have that if we do not have in our foundation the opposite qualities, where we hate one another retract one another are repel one another, as it is written in the Book of Zohar about the students of Rabbi Shimon.

S. How can we know to what extent, let's say, how many such bad forces we should we awaken 10 grams, maybe a hundred? How much of the left line so we don't end up causing destruction, damage?

R. This is a good question by a person who still hasn't walked this path and balanced these two lines, so try it try to gradually more and more grow the good force over the bad force that you awaken, when you awake both, and you will see how your two hands will be on the steering wheel and you will manage yourself correctly in the middle line. In stages. This is gradual work. You can do it, try. And if you can't, then we’ll work together to check those things. I'm here, we'll scrutinize it. But this is a tangible path towards correction and you begin to feel the forward steps in it, called degrees.

11. S. (57:06) You just told us, Rav, if we don't destroy the force, we only destroy the intention. Then what does it mean between the good and bad intention and good and bad forces? You don't destroy the force but you destroy the intention, so what is this difference between good and bad intention, inclinations and the good and bad forces?

R. The difference between connection and separation. The difference between love and connection or domination and hate, this is the difference. Try to do it in practice and you'll see that these are two completely opposing things. One is called the force of Amalek and the other the force of the Creator. There are no intentions more diametrically opposite from one another. The ruling force of Amalek works to separate, divide, destroy, and in this way to rule. We see it in our lives as well, how all these tyrants want to do it. They don't try to connect but each passing day we see how they seemingly want connection between them. They speak beautifully but ultimately what are they after, inside? Control everyone else and separate everyone because in separating everyone it’s easier to dominate. If you break up the connection with others you can find yourself as a ruler.

S. Isn't it also true that Amalek is an evil inclination evil, an evil intention. If you talk about the force of an intention, how do I see this?

R. Of course the will to receive that is inside Amalek and the will to receive that is inside the Creator when we build the system of bestowal, it is the same desire. The Creator created only one desire but the two intentions. The intention to receive and the intention to bestow. The intention to receive is called Amalek, Al Menat L’Kabel, it’s an acronym, in order to receive, Amalek. The matter is the same matter, it’s the will to receive except if the intention to receive dominates it, it's Amalek and it's in order to bestow, it's the Creator who dominates it. The Creator is the one who we put together, ‘come and see,’ that's how it is.

S. In order to receive what, what intention is this?

R. Amalek wants to rule. It is the force of control, in receiving something for itself. And the force of control in bestowing something to others as much as possible, this is called the Creator.

12. S. (1:01:36) If bad or good force is different for each person, how can we analyze it in the 10?

R. We are different in our foundation, in our will to receive, since each one of us is like apart from Adam HaRishon, the system of Adam that resembles the Creator. Of course, in our desires we are completely dissimilar to one another. It cannot be that we are that we have the same matter, you and me, no. There is one round system called Adam that resembles the Creator and the upper light shattered it into parts, into little squares. In each square there is the same inner structure as the entire system. But it is a unique structure, it is a unique DNA. That is why we are built in this way, no one resembles the other in his matter but we can be similar to how we are using our individual matters for the sake of the other. So, of course, if you and I love someone then I want to give him everything I've got and you want to give them everything you've got but what we give, what each of us gives, can never be the same. It could be for the sake of that third person but we are not similar, in that we are connected between us in that third person we wish to bestow to. That's why it is written about the Creator ‘our heart will rejoice in Him.’ When we bestowed to Him, we discovered that place, that area, that filling that fills everyone and connects us.

13.S. (01:04:17) At this moment it seems like the external states are pushing us more and more. It feels like humanity, specifically here in Italy, feels choked, not free to express itself. Many groups are born, many organizations. I don't feel that I am being pushed by the 10, by the inner forces and also through influence of Amalek?

R. Yes. this too is the influence of Amalek, there is no other force that goes against the Creator. But we need to pay attention to our advancement in the how in the 10. How well can we receive a correct direction towards connection in the 10 since we have no choice, we have to be connected, and in it we reveal the force of bestowal, the upper force, the force of the Creator and then when we reveal Him, through Him, we begin to discover an entirely different reality. Then you won’t discover this world, your country, other things, you will discover a system that is governing you and all of reality the whole world. Then you'll have answers for all the occurrences and instances. For the time being we need to discover the system and here we are learning how to approach the revelation of this system of control, the system of governance and bestowal over us. How do we discover it in practice? By awakening by ourselves, not to wait for it to reveal itself but how can we discover it by ourselves. I am not sitting down, ‘I have nothing to do, I didn't get a desire from above, and what will be of me and when? I'll go to sleep, I'll go take a walk somewhere, go to work, I'll do something in this life.’ I don't want to do anything in life unless it's also connected in parallel to the plea to the Creator. Therefore, we need to be searching for ways to wake up, to concentrate on our reality and our states in such a way that we will want the upper force to come and correct us, and we won't be waiting for it. Meaning to work in two lines in order to bring the Creator the middle line.

14.S. (01:07:36) Out of what we learned about Amalek; can we say that this is the force that awakens in order for us to strengthen our prayer to the Creator?

R. Of course Amalek exist so we will need the Creator.

15.S. (01:08:00) This neutral state of being idle in the 10, how is it manifested? How do we realize that we are lacking this friction, this pepper?

R. On that, it says that ‘a fool is sitting idly by tormenting himself or eating his flesh.’ On the one hand, we're not sorry for not advancing, tangibly, on the other hand, we're not doing anything. Then our work is only in order to anger the good inclination over the bad inclination. We come to the 10 and begin to do it. Or at the very least, you open up a book and read something by Rabash, something that can awaken you and can bring you a feeling that my ego is not letting me advance. You are starting to be unhappy about your state.

16. S. (01:09:05) You say that the time between the lessons is very important for common advancement. How can we awaken the friends throughout the day during those times between our meetings?

R. What you are saying is extremely important, very important. We have to awaken how by setting up special times for awakening or you send them something to read, something short, something interesting. Think about how to do it. Scrutinize it and you should get Rabash’s articles about the Society again, it's not just for beginners, it's for the entire path and you will see what he writes. How can we bring ourselves closer in the 10 and what to do with it?

17. S. (01:10:29) our states of descent and ascents in the 10, in the right line in the left line, how can we describe one to the other?

R. Let it be so for now, okay let it be. I wouldn't confuse it with other terms from the wisdom of Kabbalah because we lacked data. Later when we take a few steps forward we’ll be able to define our states and understand what we are talking about when we say left and right, middle, more or less. The whole wisdom of Kabbalah speaks of, more or less, right and left, and so on and so forth. Rather we have to locate those things clearly.

18. S. (01:11:34) How can the 10 help a friend when he feels that the 10, he has is not dedicated or strong enough?

R. He needs to think how to awaken them to be strong enough, invigorating enough. He needs to take care of it. He can't complain to the 10 if you don't awaken them towards what you wish to see and hear from them. You should work in such a way that they would change. The 10 is the outcome of your work, get it? This is how we need to relate to the 10. It is written that each one is judging according to his own flaws. It is very important. Talk about it throughout the day and you might understand a bit more how each and every one can determine the state of the 10.

19. S. (01:13:18) Is the revelation of corporeal disturbances in a friend, can it be considered as a revelation of bad and how can the 10th take advantage of such states, correctly

R. We can help a friend in different ways, whether it's a good or bad state. The connection of the friend in all states, from good to bad, bad to good, it doesn't matter. As a connection with them, those connections build us. I’ll tell you even more than that, each and every spiritual state of mine is built from connection with the 10. The connection with friends and in no other way. Meaning if I think that I am climbing, I'm doing something, I'm discovering something, that I'm growing up, but it is not a result from the 10 then I am not growing up, it is an illusion. Because all of our development has to be with finally feeling ourselves as a 10, as a 10 Sephirot, as the spiritual Partzuf where the Creator is revealed in His NRNHY degree after degree.

20. S. (01:15:01) What is the evil inclination that we have to discover in the 10? Does each friend discover it? Does the 10 discover its general state towards spiritual advancement? What is the point of criticism that we have to work on?

R. Here, there is probably an earlier question that precedes it. We spoke of a couple who sometimes awaken certain friction between them. From the woman's side it is called a flirt. She seemingly doesn't want the man to approach her, to speak to her as if she's not interested in him. Let us learn from our lives. Where does it come from? We see this even among the animals. You have seen these videos where the male comes to the female and she turns around, she doesn't let him near her until she lets him and by that she brings out his stimulation, his excitement so that his seed will be blessed, as the Zohar writes, I think Baal HaSulam writes as well in this article that ‘. . . there would be a strong hardness and that the seed will be blessed. to be shooting like an arrow in the world of the soul’ and so on and so forth. Meaning we have to have a strong yearning, a longing to that state of connection, otherwise it is not going to be successful. This is why we also need to awaken, but gently, various such states that are seemingly bad but to some extent by ourselves. This means that we build the left line by ourselves and on top of it, we are building the right. We build the left only with the hope and intention of building and growing the right and that's how we advance.

S. You said to gently awaken it, how do we not exaggerate in this work with the forces of the bad and the good so that bad force might overcome and interfere with the 10’s work?

R. That is the work we have to do. You have to become mature about it, be grown-ups. Those who understand, who feel, who are experienced, who can work with the force of the left, that we open up only to reveal and grow the right, the force of the right, only for that. Just as I am sitting idly, wanting nothing and I begin to awaken within me negative forces. ‘Oh, what will be with me? it's this or that,’ but I shouldn't enter such states that I would fall into them. I have to first hold myself with the goal. Why am I awakening these things? And holding on to the goal, I awaken the left and my left enters the right, from the beginning, in order to grow the right and this is how I advance. Try it, discover it. This is the specialty of the wisdom of Kabbalah. How do we build the kli, more and more, until we begin to discover the Creator? We discover Him with our own forces more and more and we open up His revelation in such a way that He will be revealed and not concealed, God forbid. This is our work. We will come it and talk about it more and more. But it is on the condition that you will advance through action.

S. In this game between bad and good, emotions are very true, very strong and not always pleasant. How do we relate to this question?

R. We have to love the bad as we love the good. Those are forces of progress. I as a man stand in the middle. I don't care about the bad, I don't care about the good. I have to have this protective amour against the good and the bad, and I am standing in the middle. My whole purpose is to delight the Creator and to come to His revelation, to give Him contentment. And I, my will to receive, in this is simply a means I look at from the side, after the restriction.

21. S. (01:20:36) There are friends who are afraid of the revelation of evil. How do we strengthen our confidence to rise above the negative force?

R. Have everyone brace everyone else in the 10 and start together to scrutinize the bad and connect it to the good. Try it as much as it works, you are in 10's, different 10’s, strong 10s, so if he will come to us later and say that it did not work out, we will help you out. But in truth there is no problem as you need to try to awaken the left line in order to advance. As Baal HaSulam says I am happy about the wicked that is revealed because of specifically through that we can advance.

22. S. (01:21:50) Today we learn something new that we have to awaken the bad force in our ten. We didn't have to awaken the bad force because every two or three weeks we have arguments. In truth it actually made us connect more, to unite tomorrow all of the arguments and the hatred. Although each time it would happen, I would panic and try to bring forward the good force to make peace between the friends as it was simply alarming, these eruptions of anger.

R. Did you want to kill one another?

S. Yes.

R. You reached the state of the 10 of Rabbi Shimon.

S. Anger and hatred, anger and hatred between us. Today you're saying to awaken the bad and I'm afraid. I'm afraid that we will lose control.

R. There's a difference between what you are waking and what awakens by itself. In both cases you need to have full control over the states because the Creator is always before you as the goal and towards this goal each one of you and all of you together need to reach. This is why all of the actions and relationships have to be weighed against this goal and this is what you are forgetting. Then it turns out that the students of Rabbi Shimon who wanted to kill each other. They discover these things on their level, their degree which is out of love and then falling out of love. They just cover the desire to kill one another. It was controlled and they used it to rise even higher, this is a lesson I wish we are falling and by which measure we are rising we fall and we rise and this is how we advance. Try to awaken artificially the bad things but realistically from the life of the 10 and then how do I reveal them, explain them to reach adhesion, greater connection between you. This is lifelike a baby who is learning how to live.

23. S. (01:24:59) How do we arrange from the reason of the hatred of the friend through unfounded hatred?

R. Hate without reason, is hate as a result of a scrutinized reason but there is no such thing as having no reason, the reason in general is the will to receive that the Creator created and that is certain that is the reason. But now that we have to scrutinize these reasons, we have to cover them with love that is to scrutiny. Here depends upon the state we are in, that we will reach spiritual degrees and there will be for us the NRNHY of light and KHBZON of vessels, Klipot, a complete system where you scrutinize the part that you can, this means that the lights that you invite for the scrutiny of the vessels, the correction of the vessels and by that you obtain the Creator even more. There is a process here that we have to determine. The work is very interesting and there is nothing else that fulfills a person other than this work as it is all of reality, all of the worlds that take part in this, everything does.

S. To what extent can we raise bad things between us in the 10?

R. We need to bring up and awaken negative things to be under our control and to always go back to the good things and have no other way. We begin arguments and then arguments to hate blinds our eyes and we beat each other up. It is clear that this is how it might happen but we are doing spiritual work so we have to decide what we are awakening, who awakens, who doesn't, who stands on the sidelines and who keeps guard. As it is written place the cops and guards and all of your gates, what does it mean any gate, where you come out of one place to another, one state to another you have to place the guards and the cop that limits you and don't let your burst in and bring in your whole entire will to receive, your Amalek. Rather in slices of the will to receive and to use it to create layers, levels of ascent, it is work, it is the craftsmanship, try to do this as it is not simple and I admit I am also not a huge expert who has.

24. S. (01:28:48) You said unfounded hatred is a scrutinized desire, how do we scrutinize this in the 10?

R. To scrutinize this in a 10 each one from his personal desire each one as his longing. To the Creator on top of the desire and then we all collect not our desires, we can't connect in the desires but in our intentions to the Creator. We collect our intentions and put them together like a bouquet, like this bundle that way collect together we turn to the Creator with that unless we assemble ourselves and bundle ourselves up with our intentions to the Creator, we need to actually do this. I don't just give it to the Creator but by bundling it up between us as the sheaves as we are now in this time of the Omer that way collect the intentions of ours, not you desire but the intentions and we turn to the Creator. If we assemble and collect with the right effort in the right way to even the smallest degree the Creator feels them and is revealed inside of them, inside the reflected light where then to discover the direct light.

25. S. (01:31:01) Is revealing the left line also regarded as correction?

R. Of course, it is part of the correction as there is no action in the world except for corrections. There is also an article I think, all is correction and there is nothing else either of these corrections come from above automatically by themselves, naturally and then we develop by them as kids or babies. These corrections, according to the raising of our MAN, our deficiencies when we demand these corrections to come and, in this way, we begin to awaken them participating in them correctly, but it is all corrections. There are such corrections that we don't feel as they pass over us and there are those that we feel that we participate in them and we discover to the extent that they are passing over us. But now humanity is going through all of those states, they are also corrections, there are good corrections, bad corrections depending on how they pass over us and we wish for all of those corrections to pass over us in a good way. The good way is only when we proceed with the raising of the MAN and then it will be certain that what we received will be desirable. If we wish to develop correctly, we need to hurry up and raise a deficiency for the coming states sooner and faster than how those states are coming down to us and then if you raise the deficiencies for them then that state of the next degree comes to us as the wars, pandemics, as war, all the shatterings, problems that come to us in the form of a revelation in the vessel that is already ready and then everything is good.

26. S. (01:33:40) You said we can awaken the left line. How do we do this correctly? You said we divide the will to receive in parts do we do this inside or is this external work?

R. We need to awaken the left line on all the work that we spoke about today and later to correct it so what is joining at through yearning to the Creator. We need to do these things between us in the 10, on our own, in the 10 and only in the 10. Never outside of the 10. This is how we advance.

S. Do I awaken it with my relation to the 10 or do I have to say something to the friends in practice to awaken some hatred, some spices in order to correct it?

R. You don't need to do that? You don't need to awaken in the friend's bad attitude towards you, where did you hear such a thing or read such a thing? There is no need to do that. Show me in the social writings of Rabash that it is written that we do such a thing. Only awakened good things and be the example of the good things towards connection. If you to some critique, it should be a critique of what is happening so that we will be able to overcome it together and advance in a gradual and delicate way under the extent of connection between us, only in such a way. The right must start, it is always an appeal to the right towards the right, and appeal towards the right.

S. ....

R. The left line is called desire the right line is called the intention so we are waking the desire which is without the good intention there cannot be a desire without the intention so we need to evoke the desires that are in order to receive, those that are there, we want to control them to receive them as being between us in order to correct. Start working and we will have plenty to work with there.

S. What you're saying now is new about awakening the left line. How do we do this correctly?

R. You are connected there is nothing to do, are you going to look now how you can spoil the connection? Work together on the connection and you will see that there are other things that are not in connection still, that you can connect and join them.

27. S. (01:37:21) In speaking about the hatred that's revealed in the 10 let's say it's not like you say in Tel Aviv where there is chaos in the 10 but here everything's fine, there's a couple of friends that don't talk to each other can't stand each other, how should the 10 deal with this when there is hatred in the 10 but in general the 10 feels everything's fine?

R. Then continue that way, you have a nice, good portion ahead of you but you can't pay for it, two can't in this and two of that, continue that way as what can you do with your a ten?

S. You said before a congress there shouldn't be a situation with his hatred in the 10 under any circumstances and if there is you should fix it, are you saying to leave it in this state and not fix it.

R. If it doesn't bother you then you can leave it this way. We are progressing in corrections to the end of correction and if you don't care what do you care? We're not going to go and correct you.

S. It's not about not correcting it. We just don't know what to do with it.

R. We are learning all the time what to do, you don't want to realize what we are learning. I have not heard from PT ever implementation about a question to the point.

S. I hope this question is to the point and I'm talking about implementing.

R. I don't know but if out of ten two or three don't want to be connected, this is called that they don't want to pay so it is not a ten, so what are you asking? First of all, there needs to be at 10 then we'll talk about the measures of unification within the 10, about the intensifying or about the matter within which you bind yourself together to unite in the 10. To discuss how much

How you will receive in the 10 and according to this you will get the NRNHY but if you don't have a 10 what are you talking about?

S. What do you define as a 10 because maybe it's different for us?

R. I don't know what definition you're giving to it we are learning all the time about the essence of a 10 to be as one man in one heart, to ask question time to throw the life the way to a friend as he needs it, that we are concerned about the love to care about the eruptions of love between us and if there is none there's nothing to talk about, it's not a 10.

S. I like to ask theoretical question, I don't know what to do besides pray.

R. Prayer as there is nothing more than prayer.

S. In all the prayers that we have done I haven't felt that anything moved in the 10 that it didn't happen to us supposed.

R. So why did it stop praying?

S. We're looking for a reward.

R. What reward are you looking?

S. It's hard to look for the results.

R. What results are you seeking?

S. You come to be as one man was one heart.

R. If you're not asking for it what do you want from me.

S. Okay we will try.

R. No point in trying either you do it or your leave here oh, we tried it and it didn't work out. Either you are on the path and you're giving everyone a good example and you are drawn to it or what are you doing? At least know where you are.

S. I feel that we're not doing right, we're praying but there's something missing.

R. You won't be given that spice unless you retain it from yourself by requesting the correct deficiency.

S.

R. I am talking about you. The 10 is made up of people like you for the time being.

S. So even for the deficiency I need to pray.

R. Don't like all of the prayer at any given moment as other than prayer we have nothing else to do that we just need to do all kinds of corporeal means and actions and study in order to add to the prayer until our prayer will at last reached as it is written to the throne of glory and that will help us to connect.

S. What does it mean the right operations for prayer.

R. What do we have?

S. Prayers that you realize together in the work.

R. No each was in that on his own.

S. What do you mean alone each one prayed alone?

R. What is a low you're always activating yourself alone, but you want through the 10 to reach the revelation of the Creator to bring him contentment. You have a line that you want to implement.

S. We don't get together in the text to take one prayer that is suitable to everyone?

R. Make such a prayer to God.

S. The idea is to unite and come together to make the prayer?

R. You sound like you fell down from I don't know where.

28. S. How can we give a taste to work under these conditions where sometimes we don't feel like working?

R. We need to work on the importance of the goal. The importance of the goal gives us flavors, taste to come close to it. It is not because we have flavors of our own. I'm looking at people who are like mountain climbers. I look at mountain climbers. These people enjoy the fact that they are doing this hard work, you can see this with the athletes, with many people as there are people who engage in science that truly give their entire life to it. All together it is a matter of a craft and artistry as an artist enjoys that he gets to do the work and not for the reward. Whoever enjoys the reward is an employee. We need to be an artist. We need to bring contentment to the Creator from our efforts. To enjoy the work to the extent in which I rise above my will to receive and not do an act of connection and need to enjoy the attainment of that connection because the connection is the condition, the place for the revelation of the creator.

29. S. (01:47:01) At the end of the lesson we put together a prayer during the day we work with it. Is it correct to work with the prayer we put together at the end of the lesson or do we have to write a new one during the day or to check the prayer again?

R. It is enough that what you can put together in the morning and then it could be that you examine whether you are in that same prayer. That we need to awaken each time let's say you, you awakened them a few times a day whether they are in the same intention, the same prayer, the same deficiency or not. That way you will advance and it will be good.

30. S. (01:48:19) Can it be said that we govern the bad that is revealed if we could compensate for it with the good and not to remain in the low state?

R. We want the evil to be revealed and then to cover it with the goods, love will cover all crimes. If the evil is not revealed then it is a sign that we are not going on the path, that we are not worthy of the evil being revealed if the evil will be revealed we will just fall. According to our preparation and the connection between us, if we work on the connection between us, by this we are actually creating the conditions for the revelation of evil. Meaning it is like it is written in the song, there was a righteous man where I worked all week long it is as if I had nothing, what is the meaning here? That we are given the revelation of the evil according to our preparation and our ability to tolerate, suffer and implement it as good. Where we can receive the revelation of evil as a means for achieving, attaining the good, and not that we just fall. In order to teach us that there is no bad state in the world, but rather by that we advance. We need to closely examine these states that we are talking between as in the 10, that we can attain more or less the right attitude towards every state that happens to us, because we are always in different states the Creator arranges for us such states that we can actually develop, decipher the correct state out of them.

31. S. (01:50:58) What qualities do we need in order to work in harmony with the Amalek of in order to receive into order to bestow?

R. We don't immediately come from in order to receive to in order to bestow in Amalek. There are several stations along the way and we need to learn how to do that. Therefore, I think we need to simply, let's say as today, today you need to hear this whole lesson again at least once or maybe even twice and to try and to digest it, to take out of it all kinds of summaries and concise pieces, to think about it, to do this, maybe even what else to read and this is the work for today. That we need to do and accordingly as you do this you will also talk about this, let's say twice a day that you can be connected between you and this is how you will be able to digest a lesson and we will really rise to a new degree of work with material.

32. S. (01:52:34) What is the difference between awakening the bad and what Rabash says about 30 minutes a day being on the left line?

R. That is later. It is correct that we need to scrutinize, to critique on the left line at least once a day. We are much more than that in it without deciding upon such time for us to be all of the time on the right line. When we are on the right line all day long in connection, in faith, etc. Then we will make certain that we also have that half an hour on the left as well. Write it before you, once when you are always on the right then you shouldn't forget to come to the left. By force, not by desire because in the desire you will be on the right but in a way that you will compel yourself to come to the left, to scrutinize and critique and all of those things that have to do with the left line then you will see how difficult it is. Today we are on the left, if you can say it that way, it is not left because there is no right against it, but we are all in some dark puddle most of the day. It's not right for us to forcefully be in that decision of half an hour during the day at this point.

33. S. (01:54:26) You mentioned awakening each other during the day. But sometimes you feel the 10, you feel the vessel of the 10 and you describe your feelings, you want everyone to awaken to connect and sometimes you don't feel it. You just take some excerpts and send it. What type of awakening works? What should we use?

R. We don't know what is causing us to advance, sometimes you're hurting with all the desires from your heart and you truly moved as it seems to you it is some big, powerful action but actually it is an action that comes from above as you were given this impression. So altogether you are transferring this impression from above through you again upward as through this there is seemingly no participation on your behalf. That you have no impression, no excitement, but that you know that you must awaken the friends, or at least attribute yourself, associate yourself to them and be like them, that way when you do an effort on your behalf even though it's small it operates in a powerful way because by this you are adding light to all of the world's. By you doing this above your desire.

S. So should we support each other if a friend gives a clear sign that he is ready to unite together and think about each other? Should we support each other in this?

R. Or what not doing anything? We gathered in the 10 to hold each other to connect, to collect the forces to reveal the Creator within them and you are saying that one friend awakens from this and another doesn't want to follow that.

S. But there is just no answer.

R. From whom?

S. No response from the rest of the friends, one awakens and the rest it is as if they don't respond, they don't see it.

R. So what do you recommend that we do?

S. Well that is the question is it enough that I wake them up or should I also wait for their response?

R. You must, no matter what responses from their side, to awaken them that have nothing to do with a response, their response so the creator doesn't want to give you a response as if they are awakening, he wants you to invest more and more forces in this. Therefore, you must continue. You need to see the response of the friends comes from the Creator.

34. S. (01:58:16) I want to scrutinize the direction of the connection that they're giving us about revealing the bad. There is a balance here of revealing the bad and the ability of the 10 to deal with the bad. You say to embrace, hug each other and talk about the things that bother you now many 10s have many things that bothered them but they can't talk about it because it destroys the connection because the 10 still don't know how to approach it. What is this that embrace and talking about it? What questions can we ask ourselves in the 10 to know that we are ready for it and to what extent we can talk about it? What should we ask ourselves today?

R. I don't know just that there are articles that Rabash wrote about the society and we need to go over those social writings again and to implement them. If we can't do that then we have nowhere to move onwards as long as we don't realize what is written in the social writings of Rabash, we have nowhere to move forward.

S. The thing is that realizing Rabash is not the time to see the friends as great question.

R. I don't know, I am saying what is written there we must realize, you are interpreting this way it could be that you can implement it in another way, I don't know. Stop between you talk between you and make summaries of it, please we can check it here in the lessons but if you're not doing that then we are done. You are not a ten and you have no platform, no spiritual place that you can work on words with this, let's say with Amalek, with the Creator, with spiritual attainment so there is no work. There must be some common internal feeling, it could be that you're not talking about this but that it exists. There is nothing we can do. Other than that, what are you bringing to me complaints? You have the articles of Rabash so please do it.

35. S. (02:01:27) ....

R. I am giving you today I'm at the to work with the other side of Creation, with the bad for that we need to pray to the Creator, the power of correction what is the power of bestowal. The power of the right, the power of love. We also need to see on the left whether or not if we don't awaken the left on time then we don't advance because our whole progress is by having a place that is broken in which we have to correct. There is a malfunction in the relations between us and we have to correct it.

S. You have many words today I've never heard you say, you're saying that we need to awaken it in a delicate way. Many years ago, you told me once you said to the group, I am afraid to engage in that yet, I'm asking you are we ready to engage in this topic?

R. Everyone is ready.

S. Do you engage in this?

R. Yes everyone's ready.

S. You said .... what can hold me in a 10 so I won't run away from it if they insult me and they say something, I say take off your gloves already.

R. No, incorrect. I'm saying that you need to expose the left when we are in a situation of indifference, we don't have this and we don't have that we don't have everything, I am no and then I am idle, time passes and nothing happens. We need to understand that we are just wasting time because we are not awakening. I left and we have to wake it up. How do we awaken the left also through the right also through the right? Start doing something for a friend now and you will see how much you don't want to and how much you do your pray. How much you don't feel like it so now you have a place to pray, turn to the Creator.

S. So you don't mean to say start class in between you and each one insulting the other you're saying let's do good to each other. You're saying come do good things, so if somebody is insulting.

R. What is the point in doing it this way, what is the benefit in it as you always have to walk on the right side, first of all turn to the right, I can't advance to the Creator, I can't be close to him I can't embrace. Why not? By this to awaken the less so it will show you why you can't. Start being more creative, don't just yell that you are not happy with the situation.

S. You are not saying let's roll up our sleeves and if somebody says the word that you'll get into him, you're saying no calm down and be gentle and we don't really understand what you're saying to us right now.

R. I also don't know what you're saying, you should listen to this lesson maybe several times from the beginning.

S. ....

R. Good luck.

36. S. (02:06:12) An additional question to continue the scrutiny of how it is right to open up things for example if a person has complaints against a friend does he need to address that friend to open these things or in the 10 we don't talk in such a way?

R. I can't get into these things to scrutinize them, now we are saying that we have to awaken the left line. which I come to a prayer to the Creator. That is it. All in all I just want to advance towards the Creator, I understand that everything comes from him, everything that is revealed in my life, How can I turn these incidents into a prayer to the Creator is the question. It doesn't matter if it is a friend yelling at me, the group or something that happens in the world, the wife, the house. I just want to strengthen my connection with the Creator. Try to connect to a prayer to the Creator all of the good and the bad things that happened.

S. All of the work is inside of me I don't need to say anything to the friends, it's an inner scrutiny?

R. Sometimes we need an external thing as well if you're not inspired by internal things and these are also things that we talked about together in the society, in the assembly of friends. You can talk and there you have the agenda of the assembly so we will come to a state where we stood and talk and scrutinized if this is correct, or that is correct so that we help each other, it needs to be more work in the group. Not that you confuse yourself and the others but rather that we help each other to understand the correct line.

37. S. (02:08:56) Yesterday in the 10 we did an exercise to awaken the force of evil in us and every friend had to call another friend and tell him how great he is the read an excerpt from the morning lesson and do a workshop and we do this very fast and just summarize it I feel there was no resistance so what didn't we do good?

R. I can't say what happened to you, you have to feel it and I also don't want to criticize it whether it is this or that way, whether it was fine or not, you will understand later from a higher degree you will start scrutinizing, criticizing scrutinizing the lower degree. Where are you at to learn how to do this.

S. You said that we awaken the left completely by the right.

R. Very good that's how it should be.

38. S. (02:10:16) What is to manage like the Creator meaning the ten manages the two forces and does not identify with anger or the bad feelings, how are you above those states?

R. All of the forces come from the Creator and we have to accept them, to receive them below and arrange them in such a way that once we process them and accept them, adjust ourselves towards the Creator because we are like clay in the hands of the potter. We come back to him and raised all of those things back to him, this is how we work.

S. If possible, can you describe how reality looks from the balance between the two forces meaning what is a balance way look like?

R. When the right and left their balance to we are all in the middle line and all of the forces bath and clean, the Creator, Amalek who is opposite from him that those two forces connect in the middle on from our perspective and by that we come to the degree of the upper force, the Creator. Who as it's even before he created the will to receive, that you're really come to him and reach him, “return to Israel unto the Lord your God”? This is what we do.

39. S. () Do you recommend this to us, we do three meetings a day, maybe in the last meeting at the end of the day to be in the zoom, not to read any articles but just for each friend to say what's in their heart and see how we advance that way?

R. It seems to me that you would still only confuse one another, you can try but I am afraid that it will actually despair you that this meeting will give you a feeling that it is just a get-together, that we gave each one a few minutes to talk and nothing else. If it is run by me or by the excerpts then it has a direction if it is not like that then there is no, will not be benefit in this.

Excerpt 20 (02:14:06 - 02:16:00)

40. R. This is why we need to check and find what is this real to receive in order to receive in us and how then we can begin to work with it, if it is not revealed we will have nothing to work with we will have no place for substance on which we can advance towards the Creator.

Excerpt 21 (02:16:18 - 02:18:17)

Excerpt 22 (02:18:18 - 02:19:57)

41. R. When we say that the purpose of creation is too good to the Creations to reveal in the created being so great pleasure, great lights, it is specifically in the vessels of Amalek once we correct them into vessels in order to bestow all of the light if the end of correction is revealed in them.

42. S. (02:20:25) I am working only with my individual Amalek or the Amalek of others?

R. No you can only work with your own personal Amalek as you don't feel the desires of the friends. You have to use the desires of the friend in order to satisfy them to help save him from his own desire. But not to relate in this way, afterwards we will discover it, in the degrees we will discover that what I see in others is actually a replication, a projection of me that I see what is happening in others heard what I see is actually a projection of me but in them I see it more clearly, more open late. I will see others as merely some sort of a theater. I'm aware in a scene I see myself as in this theater, in this whole play, in this whole scene there is nothing outside of what happened from me when I look outside of me, I don't see it this way I look outside I don't see it this way, I feel that I am righteous, but the whole world is a theater in everything that is happening in the world is me seeing myself only. Try to think in this way. That it will be to you as the first point, the first degree of revealing Amalek in you. That is how we will advance.

43. S. (02:22:55) Do we need to cancel Amalek or only use the force of Amalek through our work?

R. We need to reveal Amalek the intention to receive and, in the end, to see that it exists in each of us, inside of us because all who fault, fault in their own fault so if I discover in it someone else. It is only my revealing of it, but what I am revealing is myself. That way I see each one as existing in reality is like seeing myself through a mirror. Looking at myself in the mirror, I see myself reflected in front of me and therefore I have to correct myself until I see the whole world as being in a perfect state, that there is nothing bad in the world but only the divinity, the operating force that is present. The power of bestowal and love filling the world that I can discover now if I correct myself. Because the world as we also learn in the perception of reality is only a projection of me. This is how I see myself in front of me in each one, but at first, let's at least in the 10 because if I don't advance to see it this way in the 10, we will never achieve correction in the acceptance of reality and its true higher spiritual form. You need to understand that from the moment that we started learning about Amalek that we started learning about the left line, out of the only two lines that exist in creation and knowing how to arrange the two lines together in the middle line is really our goal. One line is not revealed without the other, God has created them one opposite the other so we should know how we control those two lines and it seems to us like we are on the right line it is incorrect. It is being on the animate level, the level of the beast, still, vegetative, animate but rising to the speaking level is impossible without setting up the left and the right, one opposite the other with us in the middle.

44. S. (02:26:28) In all of the verses that we are hearing remember Amalek what does this mean is it's a residue the Creator is flowing into our vessel?

R. Why specifically the word remember is because we must not forget, for now this is the way it is for us, we will come to deeper interpretations but we have to remember that all of creation is basically Amalek that it is opposite from the Creator and it must exist so that we will give it the depiction of the Creator.

45. S. (02:27:30) During the lesson I feel Amalek on myself with this war that is constantly throwing all kinds of creative ways to throw me out of the lesson. How do I know the correct implementation? What’s done in this battle? What is happening during the lesson?

R. The fact that he is throwing me correct implementation is when I approach the implementation in such a way that Amalek is in me, that the whole world is arranged in such a way that I will see myself augmented, intensified and therefore I see my own projection in the world. By correcting ourselves we are correcting the world. Amalek is inside of me. Yes.

46. S. (02:29:01) ....

R. I wouldn't answer that right now as it won't give us clarity, it will confuse you, if I answer or say something I must first of all feel how my explanation will be received and your question right now cannot give us clarity weather clarifying where the place is a record with the inner light or surrounding lights, we will scrutinize how these lights operate.

47. S. (02:30:28) In our 10 as during the week in preparation for the lesson a force of separation appears and maybe I missed something and now I'm trying to catch something when we're trying to open such things ....

R. You are correct, we went into the lesson and what did I say? For a long time, we have been in this state of hanging between heaven and earth and there is no bad or good awakened in me, I'm sort of asleep and disconnected from the spiritual development. I am like a cat or a dog who if they have nothing to do, they just lie down and sleep. I am also in that state, how do I awaken myself from that state, this is why it is written that one should always vex the evil inclination over the good inclination and in that way he advances. I have to keep awakening in me these sources, the good inclination and the bad inclination and when do I need them the Creator when I have a bad inclination that I can't cope with. So where is this bad inclination where can I awaken, where in this world do I get this evil inclination is only from the 10. The whole area in all of this world you have no example that can tangibly physically give you an example of the spiritual state besides in the 10. When you look at the 10, we can find it in many faults and malfunctions, take them and start working. You already have the evil in connection in the connection between the friends, you already have Amalek do some small extent, start doing something with this to connect the friends, pray to the Creator this is what you can do. Then you will see how your time becomes blessed.
