Everything is Obtained By the Power of Prayer - Selected Excerpts from the Sources, #8

R. Please go over what we learned in the morning in the lesson throughout the day, for somebody at maybe the morning for somebody else noon for somebody else in the morning it doesn't matter we are around the globe but it is very important for us that we will nevertheless live this and it doesn't matter for what the time is for each one of us now so that throughout those twenty-four hours we are pretty much on the face of the entire planet in the same intention in the same material. It helps a lot because all in all we are building a single vessel for the revelation of the Creator.

Excerpt 8 (01:05)

12. S. (02:35) It's not clear according to the text he says the light is called desire to bring him pleasure and the vessel is also a desire, can you explain?

R. It is upon a person to pray each day, meaning all day long to be connected to the Creator. And to ask first of all that he will open his eyes, the person's eyes so he will recognize the greatness and importance of the Creator that is that I want that the Creator will help me to get to know his greatness. Why, because by that I will be able to be above my desire, my egoistic desire. I will be able to work with my desire with everything I have with my substance, my intentions, my brain and my heart. I'll be able to work in bestowing if the Creator does not shine and he does not influence me and I will have no way to rise above my beast. I'm asking from the Creator that the Creator will show me his greatness and importance. If I'll have the greatness and importance of the Creator that is more of the greatness and importance of my beast then I'll be able to work any of you able to bestow it's very simple. If one is more and the other is less, who is more important in my eyes, myself or the Creator. I'm asking of the Creator to make it so that you will be more important in my eyes than myself, more than my beast so I will be able to rise above it and work with it only for your sake for your benefit. I'm asking him for such forces so that he has fuel to labor with the aim to bestow. There are two discernments to make in this .1) that a desire to bestow contentment upon the Creator that this will be his only aspiration. This is what I constantly want to be drawn to only to give contentment to the Creator all of me in this direction., and 2) that the actions will bring Him a desire to do things in order to please the Creator. That is that I will be aimed from all of my desires, all of my thoughts, everything possible as it says everything that is within your power to do it so that you will have the inclination to give contentment to the Creator.

In other words, he must work and toil extensively in order to obtain a light and vessel. A light means that he received from the Creator a desire where he craves all day to bring contentment to the Creator and the Kli, vessel is a desire. Meaning that he will have a desire to bestow upon the to the Creator, and those two, light and vessel he should receive from the Creator, meaning both the light and the vessel. Now they ask what the difference between the light and the vessel. So indeed, from the text there seems to be some lack of precision. What does it say here, I want to have a desire so that I will be able to perform actions out of which the Creator gets contentment. That's it, that one needs to work extensively in order to obtain a light and vessel. Light that means that he received from the Creator a desire where he craves all day to bring contentment to the Creator this is called light and the Kli, vessel is a desire meaning that he will have a desire that he will want to bestow upon the Creator. I have a desire, you're right it's difficult to express this with words, I have an internal desire to reach bestowing to the Creator. It's the difference between the intention and the desire, we can't quite express it with words. Yes, I don't find the words. The light and the vessel working in the same direction so it's hard to distinguish between them, one time I want to bestow to the Creator and out of my desire but my desire in the created being is not expressed in the desire itself because my desire remains in the egoistic desire it's just that the intention above her is an intention to get both of the Creator. Therefore, I need the lights that will help me to execute my desire in the right form. To express my intention in the right form. You're right I can't, with just a couple of words, say this.

13. S. (09:18) When a person begins the work what should he awaken inside of him the mutual guarantee or contentment to the Creator?

R. The end of the act is in the preliminary thought. Meaning first we have to see what the purpose is and how do we achieve it. So, if I have to achieve adhesion, Baal HaSulam writes in his articles that the final goal is adhesion and you achieve adhesion through equivalence of form so how can I be an equivalence with the Creator. To the extent that he gives I too should give, what does it mean to give. To work with my will to receive which only wants to receive but in practice I want the essence of my act to be bestowing. So, by this I have a difference between the act and the intention, the aim.

S. So first of all I need to ask for a desire without an intention?

R. No, you have a desire.

S. I don't have a desire for the Creator.

R. The Creator doesn't have a desire to bestow, we just say it but in truth the only desire in us is to receive, all our work is in the intention. We will never have a desire to bestow, the desire to bestow is the Creator himself. We are always the desire to receive but to the extent that our intention on top of our will to receive is there any changes there the quality of the essence of the desire.

S. Every time I tried to get into the root of the work, I discover a lack of desire for the intention later to come fine but first I need to?

R. You feel a lack of desire because you're discovering that your intention is really realized and if it's realized it empties the will to receive so that it cannot receive. Until people feel that they are seemingly going to receive, they have few and they advance and when they begin to understand that they will get nothing for themselves they stop work. They have no energy, no fuel.

S. At that point of emptiness what should a person ask for?

R. Ask the Creator for a desire to bestow. That the Creator will shine on him and then that light that shines on him he will be able to think about bestowing. To the extent that the Creator shines to that extent a person, like a magnet lifting up a piece of metal. A person can rise from the aim to receive to the aim to bestow. But the desire always remains in the desire to receive. But we are living in the intention and this is why if the Creator gives us the importance of his nature of Him, then we can live in order to bestow in the aim to bestow.

14. S. (13:20) Can we say that the vessel is something I acquire from the work and the light is a tendency from both something subtle?

R. Yes, the vessel is why we create between us in the connection between us with the intention to bestow upon the Creator and that too is done through the influence from above. But once we obtain a certain level of bestowal upon the Creator in this, we can feel ourselves to some extent like the Creator. This is called light coming to us and filling us

15. S. (14:11) Ask that he will open his eyes to recognize the greatness of the Creator and there are other excerpts where it says that we should not ask to see the greatness of the Creator. So how can we keep it so that it won't go to the desire which is in order to receive?

R. It all depends on how I can use the greatness of the Creator, if I ask for the greatness of the Creator and then I'll be able to bestow upon him then I ask. As Moses says show me your glory and if I want only to ask in order to enjoy for myself because I belong to a great king, then of course nothing will come out of it. The Creator makes sure that he brings us into the forces of bestowing.

16. S. (15:24) To receive the vessel, what does it mean to receive coarseness so they will be able to overcome it and that way we'll bring contentment to the Creator? To receive the vessel does it mean to receive coarseness that will be able to overcome it and us give contentment to the Creator?

R. Yes, although coarseness is not regarded as a vessel. The vessel is regarded as asking for the power to overpower the coarseness and then we can receive power to bestow by this coarseness becomes refinement, bestowing, congruence with the Creator. So, a vessel from our perspective is called a will to receive the bigger it is. On top of it you have the restricted bestowing and reflected light this is called a vessel when we want to bestow upon the Creator.

17. S. (16:48) Does the whole of creation reach a state of completeness?

R. Yes, my house of prayer should be called the house to all of the nations. The Creator has no differences between people, he only promotes them according to the breaking to the extent that the vessel is broken from above downward according to this he promotes them. He shines on them with the general light a certain layer of the vessels awakens and they come in contact with the Creator and begin to work. That way layer-by-layer from the whole of the broken vessel of Adam HaRishon.

18. S. (18:05) I'm reading number 8 and it's impossible to do it right, how can you do it practically?

R. I can't tell you the whole method of correction now. Read everything that's written thoroughly.

S. ….

R. Through the society, alone it's impossible and try not to push the society away from you and not run away from them but together with them constantly awaken one another and help one another and then around the clock you'll be connected to the goal and you will very quickly achieve corrections.

Excerpt 9 (19:09) Twice

Excerpt 10 (21:14)

19. S. (22:19) How can we learn not to disregard the prayer and not to disregard this power that is holding us in connection with the Creator, how not to lose that?

R. Over the long time when you give up each time more and more on your own power. On all of your theories that you can do this, that you can achieve it that way, that you can get closer this way, in the end you see that nothing helps you. But precisely what Kabbalists write and you understand that you have no choice but to either do what they want and what they recommend or you won't succeed in anything. Then you do it. From this we get smarter. Why is it written that there is none so wise as the experienced, does experience bring wisdom? Yes, after many experiences many attempts that I failed, I come to a state where I have no choice, I do what I do I lower my head and I do what Kabbalists say and that's how we advance

20. S. (24:01) When we talked about not to fall, does it refer to the prayer?

R. I didn't understand the question.

S. It says they should not weaken, they should not fall, are they referring to the prayer or not to keep silent, my mistake or not to rest, in number 9, when it says not to rest does that refer to the prayer?

R. You need to try to constantly talk to the Creator constantly, talk to the Creator, try through the friends alone as much as you can but don't let go of it. Gradually you'll come to a state through this speaking that another never stops, seemingly, between you and him, you will gradually include it your whole 10 until you come to truly speaking with the Creator from within the 10 and this is called the prayer of many. Then even in the 10 you will see that you can include the whole of the world kli, of Bnei Baruch and then all of humanity and then for everyone's sake you are appealing to the Creator in this is called being a true messenger of the public.

21. S. (26:00) Every morning after the lesson we have a lesson summary and we build a prayer in our 10 for the whole day. Sometimes it happens that throughout the day you read that prayer and you see it is just words. Help the friend, Creator help us and sometimes you're inspired so much that you're going with it the whole day and you're in that state so how is this connection of inspiration and the prayer, how can we make it in such a way?

R. It is all done by the Creator. He builds for you a feeling that you are closer to him or farther from him. But in truth it is only your feeling. It's not like you should disregard it but I understand that it is his games. By this, as we do with children, we push them away, we bring them closer. We want them to respond to change, so they will feel changing situations, because the more the different states the baby goes through it grows and becomes smarter because there's none so wise as the experience, why? Because he's in so many different states so the main thing we need is to pay attention to the states we are going through. But our problem is that to understand the states we go through, we are shut within us and this is what stops us terribly. I have to feel myself being in the 10 and the 10 is in the world Bnei Baruch organization. This whole organization is within humanity and this way, it is called Matryoshka or Babushka a doll within a doll. So, when we clothe one on top of the other, we feel reality in this way and see it in this way and then we want all of reality to stand opposite from the Creator. In front of the Creator and every time we should constantly keep ourselves in this way. We are in the last generation, we have to think not only about the ten but all of us together and all of humanity and the Creator then from this we will truly have a complete relation from him.

22. S. (29:16) Can we say that our prayer is the force of coarseness?

R. No, the power of coarseness is our force not the personal desire to the extent that it's difficult for us to connect to be together. The resistance to the connection, this is our desire. How we overcome the resistance to connect the gaps between us. The powers of rejection to the extent we overcome them in order to be together we try to be together with all of our mutual might and then we pray to the Creator, we turn to the Creator to help us and connect among us. Then out of the correction between us when we feel he helps us and brings us closer, through this connection which we received with his help, we turn to him. In this way we advance. We begin to be in a request to him, before him. In other words, we have requests, when we ask him to connect us through prayer to build the vessel or to correct the vessel, we can put it this way and afterwards to realize it and to implement the vessel, what do we want if we already have a connection between us. This is how we advance in our society now, in a prayer as in anything spiritual, you have four stages. Besides the root which always comes from the Creator then you have 1 2 3 4 that we have to do and the 4 stages in the prayer we will learn it's not for now. So not to confuse us but we will learn it and how we accordingly build the connection between us and to the Creator.

23. S (31:47) How can I get out of myself? I intellectually, mentally need to be with my friends but it's in a way that is so classical and academic, how can I feel the need for it?

R. It's not simple. This problem me remains until the end of correction every single degree it appears differently. Only prayer, only ask the Creator to open the heart. Each one who prays for the others by this he causes the opening of his own heart. Are you listening, if you pray that the friends' hearts will open to each other, then by this you will make your own heart open and not directly. Everything a person asks for himself pushes him away from the Creator and everything he asks for the friends brings him closer to correction. Try it out and then tell us you have a big and good heart, try.

S. You said to pray and when I pray with my thoughts for my friends, I nevertheless expect a response. How will they relate to the fact that I am praying for them so I am looking for some reward, how can I not have reward?

R. No, the Creator did this to you on purpose so you will regret still having such thoughts and on them too you should ask, of course it will happen. Don't think, I'll tell you more there will be states where you will do good things spiritual already in order to bestow and you'll discover the Creator and how much pleasure you are giving Him and you will feel what pleasure you're giving Hm and then you'll discover you did it also with the intention for yourself. Yes, that's the way it is. Otherwise, you cannot discover the depth of creation.

You'll be happy when you discover it because specifically out of this, you'll be able to turn to the Creator even more and ask for corrections.

24. S. (35:04) In the group we always have friends who feel that they are far away. But when we try to raise the prayer, some come back and others do not come back and come closer, how should we interpret this to stay silent if somebody is not praying hard enough?

R. You have to do all the activities that we read about from Rabash on the society and envelop every friend, but gently so that he will feel that he has a place where he can advance from it to the Creator safely. You have to give a sense of security like a mother gives to her baby. That's what a group has to give to each one that is in it. This is very important and then no one will drift away or run away.

25. S. (36:27) The prayers the means to get to know the Creator?

R. A prayer is a means to connect to the Creator and through it comes everything. When you connect to the Creator through it you also send what you want to bestow upon the Creator and the Creator gives you what you need to receive from him.

26. S. (37:09) When somebody raises a prayer to the Creator, he asks of the Creator to fill a specific lack so the question is, is the prayer and active bestowing or reception?

R. In the prayer there is everything. There is nothing more than prayer, a prayer means I am connecting to the Creator, both to him and by this I also received from him. In the same conduit and pipeline that I build by which I turn to the Creator, after I built this pipeline through the same pipeline I receive from here MAN and MAD. This is what we have in our connection with the Creator so it is really done on the same string so to speak the same line of connection “I for my beloved and my beloved is for me”.

27. S. (38:32) Is the feeling of connection in the ten the feeling of discovering the lack of connection?

R. It stems from searching for the connection between us. To the extent that we identify if we have it or not, we operate accordingly. We have to constantly check to what extent we are connected between us until we come to one man as one heart and of course by this our sensitivity will also grow and every time we will discover that although it seemed to us that we are connected, now we see that we are not connected. Because our sensitivity, our scale, our resolution has changed so accordingly we also have to get closer.

28. S. (39:44) In excerpt 9, before we enter the king's palace, we need to master power and might to stand as a pillar of iron until we elicit the desire from the Creator elicit desire from the Creator?

R. A desire to bestow there are two things here that you touched, we are in an ocean of upper light, the general light that fills all of reality. Our connection with the Creator when we build up our cells a vessel to receive the upper light which is around us in abundance. So, we have a connection with the Creator in order to build our vessel but the upper light is in complete rest. We are in the light now but who feels it to the extent of the vessel that I receive from the Creator, I will feel that I am in a spiritual world, in the light. In some measures from 0 on to 125 degrees to the light of Ein Sof.

S. This means that in every stage the first fulfillment is this connection, the right deficiency, the vessel that is the fulfillment you get from the light at every stage?

R. Yes, meaning that we in our plea to the Creator we acquire some special form of upper light which corrects us and to the extent of that correction, we become we make contact with the upper light and we receive it in order to bestow. In order to please the host, the Creator, in other words there's an act of correcting the vessel and an act of filling the vessel

S. The act of correction of the vessel is it like a prayer before prayer at every stage, first of all to get this desire, this need?

R. Correct.

29. S. (42:17) How can we give the friends confidence and power if I feel that my heart is shut, that I am lying or things like that?

R. It is a problem about this also we need to pray it is called a prayer before a prayer even if you can't ask there is no such thing as the Creator not hearing. It's like the child who nags the parents, in the end he gets what he wants and we can see the same with animals, the little cubs, they don't let go of their parents and that is how they get what they need.

S. So continue?

R. Yes, keep going all the time.

Excerpt 10 again (43:22)

Excerpt 11

30. S. (45:51) How can we organize ourselves so we are in line with what is supposed to happen with the prayer?

R. Try to imagine to yourself that to the same extent that you don't feel the friend, to that extent you don't feel the Creator. Truly so, to the extent that you are incapable of being in order to bestow to the friend you can't bestow to the Creator. Before you there is a game, a team, a group, try to come closer to it in practice and to perform all kinds of actions that you would like to perform to the Creator. Go ahead. What is stopping you? What’s standing in your way? You talked about it many times. Everyone understands that by this we advance. Perform actions each one to his friends when you are talking and saying that this is what you should do to the Creator. You will see it will become clear to you what spiritual work means.

31. S. (47:53) There's nobody in the world that I feel closer to than the ten.

R. I believe you.

S. What more do I need to do to love them as much as I am capable of?

R. Try to perform the same actions, intentions, and emotions even out in the open that they will see and hear. You will see to the extent you reach. This is what Rabash writes for us. This is the whole reason that the Creator broke the vessel of Adam HaRishon that He created. He created this vessel, the four phases of direct light, Behina Dalet, that felt shame of receiving. If she could turn herself in order to bestow immediately, then you have the Creator and the created being that feels the opposite of the Creator, which is terrible shame, being the opposite and separate from the Creator but wanting to be in adhesion with Him.

When it wants to be in adhesion it is all done, there's nothing more to do. When the created being discovers how much he is incapable and cannot reach adhesion with the Creator he then is ready to go for the whole process through the shattering. In truth, there was no obligation to receive in order to bestow, he could have received in order to receive but the shame, the gap he felt between himself and the Creator caused him to agree to the whole way just to get rid of the shame and instead of it to reach honor. Not the honor we talk about in this world but that which is the opposite of shame. So, we understand that we have no choice but to realize everything within the society. It wasn’t so clear to us what all of humanity went through but today we are on the verge of the last generation and then we are going to have to realize it in the whole human society.

S. Can we in the ten stabilize the gap between Malchut and Keter and feel this shame?

R. You will have to feel the full ten Sefirot, the entire creator in the ten with all of the results that are there.

32. S. (51:33) My desire to receive always brings me some emptiness and I request that the Creator give me the force of bestowal, but I feel disappointment. Is there a danger that I will despair too much to turn to the Creator?

R. No, you advance if you are in a group and not alone. You advance according to how much you invest in them and they invest in you. If you are alone you may fall with states when the vessel is entirely big, changing, and bringing you new illumination. Who knows when it will happen and you can awaken from. That is why as close as possible to the ten to performing actions, within the study, the lessons, you can be certain that you will advance fast. By that you will awaken the closest light that is holding and changing the ten.

33. S. (53:14) What is the prayer that the Creator answers all at once?

R. It is not exactly this way. We always get a response from the Creator and these responses enter into us and change us each and every time. However, there are such stages in which we receive a more general, more inclusive answer and then we feel it. I can't explain it beyond that.
