Lesson No. 2: Besides Prayer, There Is Nothing to Give ENGLISH

1.Rav’s Introduction: Yes, we are in lesson number two of our Congress, I am very happy with Lesson number one and with the participation, how everyone who participated was felt was as absorbing, receiving, perceiving everything and participating in our global gathering and that there are more groups, new groups that are joining us. Groups we don't see typically with us together, but now specifically because of the Congress, they are all together with us so a great big hug, a warm embrace, a strong embrace to everyone and let's begin Lesson number two, go ahead.

Reading Excerpt #1. (02:23 - 03:02) “Everything, small or great, is obtained only..”

2. R. (03:03) Meaning the more we advance in the connection between us, in turning to the Creator, the more we attain the fact that we are powerless to turn to Him, to connect between us. But only to connect together in order to ask the Creator to help us in our connection, help us turn to Him, to raise such a plea that He can reply to us, He can answer, connect us. And by that will begin to attain in the connection between us that upper Force that There is None Else Besides Him and He fills all of reality, and will also feel that He arranges us, connects us, and fills us. Hence let us walk like that, according to the lesson and the Congress, and think all the time about that; “therefore everything small or great”, Baal HaSulam writes, “is attained only by the power of prayer”.

Meaning only by the power of prayer can we attain who are we, what are we, where are we, what's happening with us, and all the labor and work to which we are obliged to put in. As we turn to the Creator we are only to discover our lack of strength and our lowliness, meaning that after all, we need to see how incapable we are of reaching the purpose of creation, connection, anything! “And even when we see that we want more we fail, that we are unfit for anything by our own strength, why? For then we can pour out our wholehearted prayer before Him”. Meaning all the forces that we invest, in the end we attain only that we are incapable, we’re unable and in this way we come to the complete prayer and the Creator answers our prayer. If anyone wants to ask about that, please and if not, we will keep going.

Reading Excerpt #2 (05:59 - 07:22) “I look at one tiny dot,..” Twice.

3. R. (07:27) Yes, that's what each and every person reveals, that on the one hand, he wants to reach connection and he raises his prayer to the Creator, on the other hand, he sees just how much he is unable to do it and together we are still unable to reach connection, the successful, effective connection. Therefore, nothing remains but a prayer for the Creator to connect us, to raise us, and for us to succeed through the connection between us, succeed in coming to know Him, the Creator. And in this way advance to the purpose of creation, the purpose of life, we will attain the upper force that dwells on us, that connects us and that's how we are going to come to a state of, “one man in one heart,” and we don't need more than that.

4. S. (08:54) When we feel this, the body can't handle this direction, that's the whole point right, I can't get pass the body’s pull towards my attention and everything. All I see is faults in the friends, I want to justify, who passes, how do we move pass these obstacles between us?

R. Look, it's written, “love covers all crimes” or transgressions, meaning if we try to come closer to one another, we begin to feel, how the force of connection, specifically that force, is taking a supply can elevate us higher and higher and we will be able to turn to the Creator with a true request, a correct request. And the Creator will immediately perform these corrections in us and He will raise us to Him.

5. S. (10:25) Why is there such harsh suffering in humanity, is the Creator do this on purpose or is it a result of the lack of connection between us?

R. This comes from the Creator in order to show us how are we built from the will to receive and other than trouble, it can't let us feel anything else. And when we try to connect we see how poorly we do and we have to turn to the Creator, and by turning to Him we gradually are rewarded with understanding what kind of plea we need to have. And so we change the prayer, we correct the prayer, we connect tighter, we form tighter connections between us until the Creator accepts our prayer and begins to raise us to the next degree of human existence, let us hope that we are attaining it soon.

6. S. (12:00) If we understood and we know that the prayer of the friend to the Creator, and the only thing that remains for us is to ask, so how can we make it so we ask so He will give us the correct deficiency for all humanity and every friend and the deficiency?

R. Only through our effort to connect and raising a prayer for the connection to the Creator, so together with it we will rise to Him which is a result of our growing connection and we will reach a state where the Creator will give us all the conditions. That when we overcome them we will reach His degree, connection with Him, adhesion with Him, and in that we will come to our correction.

7. S. (13:26) I came to the feeling that as I come closer to the friends in the workshop, the more I try to connect with them in the workshop, I feel in myself weaker and even smaller; how can I build a prayer from the heart from that state from my heart?

R. Time after time as we turn to the Creator we can feel more and more how He's arranging us, organizing us, bringing us closer and what else are we lacking in order to come closer and connect in such a way that He’s able to raise us up like one group, like one structure to Him, to His level, to His degree, that's what we wish to attain.

S. How can we strengthen ourselves?

R. When each one prays also for his friends, we need to see how much, to what extent we belong to one group, one structure, one organization, and everything we want is to be a foundation for humanity. So we connect together above all disturbances that the Creator arranges for us intentionally, so we will rise higher and higher up; and for the Creator to finally take us in, into His embrace all of us and raise all of us to Him.

8. S. (15:49) How realistic is it to cross the Machsom, the barrier, in our lifetime, what’s the chance for that?

R. We can cross the Machsom specifically at this time in the connection between us, in this world, in this life, so let's try to be connected to such an extent that we will feel how much we are under the correct treatment of the Creator. How ourselves, by ourselves, we are unable to do it, on one hand and on the other hand, how much we demand to reach the kind of connection called ‘the crossing of the barrier’, the Machsom.

9. S. (16:48) We have come a long way, twenty years, twenty-five years, and we want to understand, you say that we have to go through some barrier to move from a certain attitude that we have to a different one and we are doing what you say. And when we come to a certain point, we don't understand what is happening; tell us please, do we need to understand this or feel this and if to feel then where do we feel? Where is this point that comes to us, let's say right now before me there are these friends of mine from Moscow that I have known for over fifty years or and they are making immense efforts, and we are also trying to do lots of efforts together. And eventually we don't know if we are going to this point or not?

R. The Machsom, the barrier, means that we come from the true lack of connection between us to such a connection where we feel ourselves, each one feels himself together with the others, as ‘one man in one heart], there's simply no more distance between us. That's the kind of connection we come to, that's what we have to do, of course we are unable to do it by ourselves but we need to ask, we need to ask of the Creator to do it. To do this with us, such a miracle that we will be able to connect between us and we'll come to realize our forces correctly.

10. S. (19:16) So this morning I came here thinking how can we pray for us to finally get to this point where we create a space for the friends and stop thinking about ourselves, where we stop playing games with one another and play the game correctly with the Creator, and most importantly, where this article talks about giving benefit to others through prayers, where we come to the point where we disappear of our force and take this entire Congress and turn it into a festival of prayer for one another. Because that's what we want, we want this Congress to be a festival of prayer, not just to play games any more but to turn it inside out, for us to create the space for the friends in our heart.

R. Dear lady, you are correct I also feel this way, I think this way; I think that generally speaking we are starting to starting the second lesson and we will begin to feel how much the connection between us is becoming a true connection more internal more mutual. And how each one doesn't feel himself but rather that he includes everyone and he's included in everyone and that feeling has to bring us over a short period of time to such a connection where according to the level of connection, the nature of connection, the Creator will be revealed. I am happy to see you there.

11. S. (21:48) We are six friends here in Germany from Spain and the question is: Why are we here, the women from Spain, why are we here in the convention in Germany? We feel that the Creator united us with the power of a very strong power of Arvut and in our mind and our intellect there's a certain very strong resistance, but the heart feels truly united, so how should we relate to this new feeling for us?

R. It's beautiful, I am actually happy to hear that, on the one hand you feel as if you are not exactly in the right place but according to the attitude from the environment to you, that you are in the right place, that they want to absorb you and embrace you. So I am very happy to see that you are there, good, and the Kli, the vessel that you landed in is a very powerful vessel, correctly aimed, tuned, I have high respect, high regards for the German group. And I hope that they will embrace you and your friends and together with them and with all of us together we will begin to ascend towards the Creator, so I'm asking all of our friends.

12. S. (23:48) Yesterday we read an article which left me thinking that we do not have the trust and confidence in the Creator, we have not felt the importance of There is None Else Besides Him, we talk about all of these things but we are not feeling good and we are not making it an important part of our spiritual growth. Is there a Prayer that we can put to the Creator as part of this Congress so that we can reach this state of There is None Else Besides Him and we have confidence and trust in the Creator. Because that seems to be a problem and we need to get past this point that we can do it although we cannot do it, and this point we should make it absolutely clear, that we can do nothing of our strength, the only thing that we can do is to raise prayer for the friends, that's the only thing we can do. And nothing is going to help us if we don't get to this point otherwise we are just going to be one Congress after another and we are not going forward and we need to move forward. What is that prayer we can do now?

R. Only to ask the Creator to connect us and to raise us to Him, two actions really which are actually one action, that we will connect more and be closer to the Creator. And then we will feel ourselves crossing the barrier and in the connection between us we are coming to connection with the Creator.

13. S. (26:16) I am from Europe, Lithuania, here with Australia, my heart is beating with some excitement, with some feeling that these friends are so far away from me, I just want to appeal to the Creator: please bring us close in our hearts and let this distance disappear among all of us in the world Kli.

R. We will try together with you to ask the Creator for connection and for an ascent.

14. S. (27:23) We heard many times this excerpt but this time we have a new revelation, it was said that besides prayer there's nothing to give, meaning we need to try and internalize that nothing is by our power but all our desire we pass to the Creator. T the prayer is actually the annulment for the Creator is that so?

R. Yes, you're absolutely right.

S. So if the whole world Kli were to hold onto one another and we all nullify one before the other and before the Creator, and give Him everything so that He, well the truth is just to give Him our desire?

R. Exactly, exactly like that, beautiful words.

15. S. (28:33) We are thankful to the Creator for the gift that he gave us, that we are once together again, that He invited us home to the family, to the good environment, I have a few questions that appeared in me during the preparation for the Convention. Yesterday we read in the ten, The Prayer before A Prayer, and for the first time I truly felt this prayer. Tell me please, is it my ten that is operating on me in this way or is it Rabbi Elimelech or is it the Creator, Himself, that is finally letting me understand. I have searched for this prayer for so long, how to pray correctly, I would always get mad at the ten.

R. Everything that we feel, we feel directly from the Creator, and in this way you are receiving it from Him.

S. Yesterday our friend from England came to Germany, you said “to come to Germany”, and she was sharing that she's very concerned with Europe and I also felt her concern, what happened?

R. It's very good if you incorporate in one another, all the way to the state of tears, that's a very good connection.

S. 16. S. (30:43) If the Creator brings both the lack and the opportunity to ask then why don't we grasp that, why don't we receive it?

R. We receive it but it depends on the level of connection between us, if we connect correctly in everything the Creator wants from us, clothes in us, is incorporated in us; but if we don't quite listen to the Creator’s attitude towards us, then only we are incorporated partially, we are only ready to connect only partially. Nevertheless, there is a great change, there's great change from the beginning of the Congress, this morning to now, and now moving forward, hope that we'll be able to reach such a connection between us in which we will be able to feel the revelation of the Creator.

17. S. (32:11) It is written that the Creator only hears a complete prayer, what is a complete prayer and can a person within reason see the wholeness of the prayer or is the wholeness of the prayer only revealed above reason?

R. There's no connection to reason, the main thing here is to have an open heart. a complete prayer is when I ask for the whole world, I ask for the Creator to fill the whole world with His presence or in other words, for the whole world to reveal to itself, the Creator, this is my complete prayer.

18. S. (33:48) How can each of us feel such a prayer in his heart for unity so it will be such a connection that will never shatter ever again?

R. This all depends on the level of our request from the Creator but we are on the right path, we are on the right path.

19. S. (34:26) We have now this common prayer, it is in the air, both our individual prayers, the general one for men, from women, there is this common prayer but it is in the air, it is standing there. What can we do with it, what does each of us need to do with it, this common praye, or all of us together, what can we do with it?

R. You have to increase it, amplify it between us, raise it above our heads so it will reach all the way up to the Creator, that's what we have to do.

S. How exactly, I don't know where to progress from here, how to raise it, how to intensify?

R. To the Creator, to the Creator, meaning I want my prayer to become such that He able to bestow through all of us to the Creator, to the Creator, Himself, the General Force, and in our common intention we'll be able to rise up to His level.

20. S. (35:54) We’re from Latvia, we all came here, this doesn't happen too often, from all the Baltic countries we came, and we are happy to be with the Creator for the second day of the Convention, all of us women, men, we are working so hard and trying so hard and yearning greatly to the Creator, And we are before the Creator feeling joy, we want for the other, for him to succeed, for him to enter, if a friend enters then everyone will, and we feel this joy.

R. I understand you, I am together with you.

S. We have a question about prayer: we have already come to such a state that if we pray for the friend, no matter where he is, whether he is in the Philippines or Alaska, we are praying for each and everyone. But the question is it was said “until the quotient will be filled”, the . . . ., is that my personal quotient or is that for all of my friends, if each of us were to pray for the other, is that bringing him closer to attainment?

R. That is specifically what is bringing us closer to attainment of the Creator.

S. This prayer appeared in us during these two days, we made a great preparation for the convention and even before the convention began our groups did a preparation of connection between us, a very powerful connection. And we are asking in our prayer for each of the friends from the whole world Kli to think of the Baltics so that we will be able to even more to you and the whole group and to the Creator.

R. Of course, we are including you in our embrace and you are together with us, there is no question about it.

21. S. (38:40) With all the bad in the world it seems to me that to pray is not enough and I feel a little guilty because of that, so do we need to do other actions, to be more involved in the society or the community, in addition to what we are praying, or is our prayer enough for caring for all the bad that is in the world?

R. Other than prayer we have nothing to give to the Creator, but in our prayer we have to be more connected between us and then the prayer will influence the Creator and obligate Him to raise us to Him.

22. S. (39:58) There is this feeling now that we're not in random Tens. iThere is nothing random about this convention, not between the men, not between the women, but rather there is a feeling of immense immense pressure. Could we now guide all this to the prayer to the Creator?

R. Of course, you can aim it toward the connection between you and to the Creator, good luck, good luck.

23. S. (40:51) In excerpt number one it is written that we need to discover our lowliness and how much we're lacking forces so how can I discover those qualities if I don't feel they exist in me?

R. It seems to you that they don't exist but all the good qualities also exist in you you simply need to want to bring them out and express them to the friends, show them to the friends try to do it and you will see how successful you are and each and everyone should do it you have a small group but it's extremely unique, good luck.

24. S. (41:55) What defines the wholeness of the prayer?

R. Adhesion of the hearts. Only from the prayer, the prayer depends only on the connection between the hearts of the prayer and the result but the outcome of the prayer.

S. What in this heart connection needs to be present to us? What quality in this should present this to us?

R. The Creator is starting to be revealed in the connection between you.

S. We have here many guests from Israel and new hearts that joined us. We promised that we will yearn for the complete prayer.

R. Not the first year we are together. I hug you. I have been to Azerbaijan before and when I have the opportunity I will visit you.

25. S. (43:42) Is the prayer of the Ten capable of including all of humanity in our hearts? Iis that the way to grow our hearts?

R. That includes all of humanity if we want it. Especially when we have you with us.

26. S. (45:43) We're feeling that we are swimming in the sea of love and we are grateful to the Creator. My question is: It is written in the article, I'm looking at the small point called 'love of others'. Is this point the point in the heart that brought us to this work? How should we give importance to this point?

R. It is our point of connection with the Creator. This can also be point of connection between us, if we tie ourselves together in this point and tie it back to the Creator since it disconnected after the shattering of the vessels, then we will come to the correction and everything will be revealed in it. I really hope that we will begin to feel the result of the connection between us.

27. S. (47:05) We see the people all around the world and we understand it is from the Creator for us to connect. How can we from the center of the ten, from that small point to the love of others create a perfect prayer for from the center of the ten form connections between us we will discover this connection from the Creator?

R. I recommend for you to sit together and start discussing and to write it down and you will see how you will discover the true prayer, correct prayer.

28. S. (47:51) Thank you for this powerful preparation that helped us. There are Norwegian groups gathered together for the time being. We are just women and we're also intending to gather physically in the Italian convention, thank you for your help. Our question, prayer is the feeling in the heart but the heart, but the heart feels either fear or love. Do we need to understand what states from which we are raising this prayer or do we simply need to devote ourselves to the general intention and raise a prayer from there?

R. We just need to check how much we are connecting between us and connection and in love. We need to check only that.

29. S. (48:57) Dear Rav and world Kli, hello from Barcelona. We gathered here and we have a question. In life, due to sufferings, we come to despair that we feel that either something will change in life or it's death and then life will change. How can we come to this despair but through love?

R. Specifically such despair we can reach through love. Through love we reach despair and that is how we advance. Only in the direction of greater connection between us, will we find the answer to all the questions, including the feeling of complete adhesion with the Creator and the end of correction.

30. S. (49:55) We are very happy that the Creator is awakening us and the ability to turn to Him everyday and we pray for connection for each and everyone and for Him to give each of us the feeling that He is the 'good that does good', and loving and does only good and from our heart we give this feeling.
R. Thank you for your warm words.

31. S. (50:45) Good morning and happy holidays to everyone, teacher, we thank you for this convention which is truly the next degree, we can feel it truly in our hearts and to the question, Baal HaSulam told us that anything small or great is attained with the force of prayer. It may be that we are missing something here. The word 'the power of prayer' is kind of concealed, something I would like to get an answer for, thank you.

R. The power of prayer means as much as I ask, I beg the Creator to connect me with friends and with the entire world Kli and with the Creator Himself, this is called the 'power of prayer'.

32. S. (52:52) Hello to the whole world Kli. I want to thank first of all to the Creator for this wonderful opportunity that the Poland group to connect. We sadly not all of us could come physically but we're all very connected in our hearts and the question is, how to keep this connection after the convention so it will remain with us?

R. This depends only on you, only on you. The problem is that the connection in the Poland group is always a difficult thing, a difficult matter is something that is hard to do. If you want it really hard and you think only about the end of correction, the connection of all of you above all the differences between you, then you will succeed, you will make it.

33. S. ( 54:15) Hello dear teacher, I want to first of all say to you thank you very much for all the huge work you are doing to the whole world Kli, I'm from the Ukrainian group.

R. We're not talking about that in the Congress, we're not talking about that.

S. Am I not connecting correctly with my Ten? Am I not praying enough, why there are no changes, or is the reason not in me and the Creator wants to tell us something else?

R. You need to try and connect above all the differences and then you will succeed.

34. S. (55:24) Good day dear teacher beloved world Kli, we are here in a huge connection, very big heart and my question, now I felt like desert without the water and the friends fill me with water and I feel more pain and then I feel friends more and I feel even more, and then I feel like flying in the sky and the Creator continues to fill and fill and my question is, how do you make another step, how can we come to a state of coming to the Creator and saying, “My sons have defeated Me.”? How do we come even to a greater deficiency because more deficiency and more the Creator fills us? It's like the Creator’s winning. How can we defeat the Creator in such a game for bestowal?

R. Don't think of yourself, think only that you want to bestow, open the heart to your friends and only in this direction outside of yourself then everything will be easy.

35. S. (57:09) Good morning dear teacher, it is really a great great Congress. I want to thank you very very much for all the efforts you're bringing us. I can imagine what it is to benefit and pray for my Ten. I can imagine and pray and benefit the whole Bnei Baruch and also you, dear teacher, but what does it mean to truly benefit and pray for all the people of the world? I don't have any relation with them. What does that mean?

R. We need to close, to see how all the reality can come closer to the Creator to give Him contentment. Therefore, we need to come closer like that between us as well, without any difference of color, nationality, gender, sex, etc., only to be closer in the heart, each one with everyone.

36. S. (58:39) The question is, if we reach a connection between us, will we stay or will we stay or will we change or disappear?

R. We, each one, will start seeing reality through all people, through all the souls and then we will see the truth.

S. If connection among friends happens in the feeling in each one separately or in the common feeling of all friends?

R. Both.

37. S. (01:00:00) We have about 50 people(technical difficulties)…

R. I didn't understand anything, there's a really bad connection, let's try later again.

38. S. (01:00:51) Can you expand some more on the prayer being the only thing we give to the Creator? As simple as it sounds, giving the prayer to Him, it sounds like a lot goes into giving the Creator this complete prayer?

R. Correct, correct. It's really something so simple but to connect together and to ask for one thing and a plea to the Creator, that is very, very difficult. Let's hope we will be able to reach that.

39. S. (01:01:53) The question is about the whole prayer, the whole prayer together in the ten. We're not asking for the Creator for success or help, not material things, rather we are requesting only one thing, that He will give us the desire to serve one another in order to give pleasure to Him. Would this be the correct appeal to the Creator?

R. It will be the right plea to the Creator but you have to understand, this plea comes against our ego, against our nature, that is why we don't have any inner forces for this to really turn to Him, we can cry out but then we forget it, we can ask but it's not a true request that comes from an inner necessity. That is why it demands a lot more work from us to truly gather around this plea.

S. Is it just daily work?

R. Yes of course, yes, only in that way through the daily work when each one is concerned about his friend and not himself.

40. S. (01:03:49) Tonight after the general program in order not to waste time we have planned a meeting together with the Germany group, in Argentina and Chile, they are together. This is our mutual request. Maybe can you give us some exercise that we can utilize in these meetings and then we can share with you the results after?

R. I can't participate in what do you need to do on your own, only you,and in no way any interference on my behalf.

41. S. (01:04:46) There are many friends who got distance from us and we feel a great lack in our group, what can we do, what action?

R. Open your heart and disseminate and bring more and more people to the group. That is it.

42. S. (01:05:30) Does the Creator have something additional to bring us to the end of correction besides prayer?

R. No.

S. As our progress means that each time we expand our lack?

R. Yes.

S. Maybe another friend can ask?

R. Yes.

S. Did I hear correctly that according to the connection between us we gave the Creator the possibility to work with us?

R. Yes, exactly that, you understand it correctly.

43. S. (01:06:33) I wanted to ask, since I have been doing dissemination daily I feel that my prayer comes in circles. The first circle is the ten, then the nation, then the whole world, and I truly feel these waves of love that want to burst my heart and expand and include everyone inside it. Is it a sign that this prayer is heard or done correctly in some manner?

R. It's working correctly.

44. S. (01:07:16) The question I think we're asking is for the Creator to give us a second nature in order that we can connect above the ego. So what are we lacking to attain this? Is there some fear, are we afraid to lose something?

R. Of course. We need to be afraid of not implementing the plan of creation, we have to fear falling off the closeness to the purpose of creation, we need to yearn for connection for love, all kinds of states that include our correction.

45. S. (01:08:33) If we ask that there will be love between us will that be a correct prayer from the heart because love isn't against our nature?

R. That is what we need, that is what we need to ask for even though it is against our nature but to still keep asking for it and the Creator will already perform what needs to happen.

46. S. (01:09:18) We have gathered here, all of the Haifa group and we want to give thanks to you for the wonderful convention. The question is each morning after the morning lesson we build the prayer together and not just us, I believe there are many tens that do this. What do we need to add, what do we need to emphasize, what intention needs to be, how can we strengthen this prayer that we do each morning?

R. Only bring your hearts closer together, connect them into one heart and then it will happen. Nothing but that, connect the hearts.

47. S. (01:10:30) I heard today in the morning lesson then we need to cleanse, to purify our hearts. What does it mean to clean the hearts from all the thoughts and desires such that we can connect the empty hearts into one common heart?

R. You just answered your question, in order to be able to connect our hearts into one.

S. Does that mean I need to banish all these desires and thoughts of mine, clean them out?

R. Yes, whatever doesn't belong to connection you have to clean away.

S. We have almost fifty people in Belarus. This place doesn't have the capacity to hold these people anymore, it is a huge congress.

R. Good luck to you.

48. S. (01:11:34) In the beginning a person reaches the awareness of unity and the sensation. Can we connect these two things?

R. No, it’s only in that order.

49. S. (01:12:05) I heard that the prayer of many has force, has power, that it has power?

R. Yes.

S. Until the morning lesson, the time we have, how can we focus, concentrate this prayer this force until the morning lesson?

R. We need to open our hearts and that it will be filled with those concerns, what we’re speaking here. These concerns will fill our hearts and then we tomorrow will already wake up in a new vessel.

S. There are questions that need to be clarified among one another between us?

R. No, no, no, just all our problems and all our questions to be solved and gone by the connection between us.

S. And music?

R. Music? It could be but music doesn't have that focus of what we need.

50. S. (01:14:04) I just want to share with the world Kli, the huge inspiration and excitement around the world and in Petach Tikva. I haven't seen this hall so bursting with this female force and many men. Many, many female and male friends.

R. Yes, I'm also surprised to see all of you that way.

Reading Excerpt #3, Item 40: ( 01:14:30) Meshivat Nefesh .. (twice)

51. S. (01:17:17) We feel very great love. We are asking in this moment that the connection will continue to grow, that it will be strong. This sensation, does it help humanity the moment we are doing it or do we need to direct the sensation of love towards dissemination?

R. First of all for your connection and then towards dissemination.

52. S. (01:18:10) When we turn to the Creator even without feeling or knowing that He exists or not, what causes us to turn to Him and what's the purpose here in faith above reason?

R. What makes us turn to Him is because we don't have anyone else to turn to, that's in the beginning. Then we start feeling that the only force that is conducting us is the Creator, that's how it is.

S. We live in the Asian region, what should we feel in the convention?

R. Connection between the hearts, that's what you need to feel.

53. S. (01:19:18) In the beginning of the convention you said that you felt a deep fear and I can imagine that you have an intense prayer. How can we stay in this deep fear and intense prayer to the Creator and not let it get too far away from our hearts and be intense in our prayer?

R. Only man will help his friend, that's what's written about that, that we are concerned that this prayer will live in each and every friend.

54. S. (01:20:30) All of our friends are sending their warm welcome and love to you and the entire world Kli. Our question is a sincere one. We’ve gathered here from very many places, the Creator gathered us here. We have good relations between us in a simple manner but I feel that on a spiritual level we are distant from one another and to reach something we would only be able to do that if we felt closer, if we're in one boat.

R. Yes.

S. From this quote we just read there's an allegory of a war. People are so close to one another that they don’t differentiate between themselves. We know that each day everyone hears the lesson by himself and then he goes his own way. What can we do when each of us has already tried and not succeeded in something? How can we now with these people that we've become more familiar with realistically reach the sensation of one boat?

R. Give an example to one another, give an example of one another. Show as much as you are completely willing to disconnect from everything for the connection with everybody.

S. That's a very big work.

R. Specifically that is what the Creator’s expecting from you. Specifically that and only that He's expecting from you.

S. Can you be more specific? How can each one feel that he's sure that if he does this work it won’t just go anywhere else?

R. That's exactly the connection between me and the Creator, I don’t need anything anymore. I'm willing to do anything to order to help my friends connect and in that way create a place for revelation of the Creator.

55. S. (01:23:13) If I'm standing with my weapons and my prayer alone then I have no forces and when we stand together with these weapons, with the prayer then we have the force of the Creator and then we can witness our nature?

R. Yes, exactly like that, correct.

56. S. (01:23:53) The fetus and the womb, the Creator puts pressure on him so he will exit from self-love. Now we're looking at this entire world Kli that is in this room and wants to be born, as one man and one heart. How do we invite this pressure, these contractions on us from the Creator? How to be more specific in our prayer that will give us the force for this? What are we lacking in this prayer?

R. A desire that will only be aimed toward the connection between us and from between us to the Creator and except for that nothing, nothing. All in all it's very simple.

S. Then we'll feel these contractions that the Creator’s is pressing upon us?

R. Yes.

S. Do we need to hope for this pressure?

R. We'll get it. To the extent that we press on the connection we’ll feel a resistance to the connection and those will be those contractions.

57. S. (01:25:09) Wonderful Congress, wonderful state, our souls are truly happy and singing. From the excerpt, as long as a person strengthens himself in prayer to the Creator he is winning the war. What war is he talking about, the ego?

R. Of course, a war against the ego.

58. S. (01:25:49) From the beginning of the excerpt, man must only commit to strengthen himself each time anew and not retreat from this war or cause oneself despair under any circumstances. At the same time we learned that despair in my own strength is the greatest state because from this state we can truly ask the Creator, we can cry out to the Creator. What is the difference between the despair that we read about here and the state of despair from which we can ask?

R. From a good despair we reach prayer, from the bad despair we crumble and we have no forces. Those are the two results that can come in the state when we reach despair.

S. How can we get to the good despair and avoid the bad despair? What is the difference between them?

R. The difference is as much as we long for the true goal.

59. S. (01:27:17) Teacher, you said that we should feel fear from this that we will realize the purpose of creation in attaining closeness with their Creator. What's the work that we need to do in order to awaken this fear to a degree of adhesion with Him?

R. We determine four times, four congresses a year and let's hope that we feel the result from each one of these conventions. That's it. We'll see, it all depends on how serious we can be about these gatherings between us and our worldwide connection.

60. S. (01:28:35) How should we strengthen ourselves to reach a state of a constant prayer from the bottom of the heart in any state?

R. We need to read the sources. We need to hear matters of awakening, words of awakening from the friends and the work between us, that's it. Let's hope that this helps us and that we’ll advance nicely and correctly.

61. S. (01:29:22) You said that the more we go out of ourselves we give room to the Creator, so the more we take ourselves out of the equation, out of the doing, out of my hands and legs and whatever I can do with that. I see the work of the Creatornd Like if the work of the Creator….

R. Yes, I'm very happy to see you in our Congress and in general I'm happy to see you you are an old friend of mine.

S. Thank you, it's always good to see you, I love to thank my Russian speaking friends, it is all they're doing that we are gathered here and now it's women Norway. It's always good when the Russian woman powers come because it's always there so I'm really happy about that.

62. S. (01:31:22) First of all I want to say thank you to the Creator that through the group of Karmiel gave me the opportunity to be in the Congress, we are eighty people are here today! The question is: how to take the forces from this Congress because it's so strong and we feel it, how to take this and bring it back to our tens, that each one is going back to their own ten after this?

R. I don't know but I think that you feel it and we need to talk about it, how we pass on to our regular tens, that same inspiration that, in the meantime, is filling us. It would be a shame to waste it and to throw it to the wind.

S. Teacher, I wanted to ask, to not waste our time, meaning that we need to come out here with this that we progressed and we've gone through it like we're emerging from here new?

R. Yes, yes, yes, so talk about it between you, it will influence the results more than whatever I can say to you.

63. S. (01:32:58) The warrior has confidence, his ego is strong, this is how he survives, but we need to annul ourselves in order to reach a true prayer, so how to be both a weak and zeros and strong as warriors?

R. So it all depends what against what: if with respect to the Creator then I'm weak, if with respect to my ego, then I need to be strong, a warrior. It all depends toward whom we are referring to whom I am in front, is that clear?

64. S. (01:33:51) What does it mean to influence light, to bestow light?

R. We don't have this yet, we just want to focus on doing good to others which means to pass on the light to them, that's it.

65. S. (01:34:26) What does it mean, ‘a pure heart’ if our main vessel of war is a broken heart?

R. So to clean the broken heart from the remnants, the remaining parts of the ego, that's our work, is that clear?

66. S. (01:35:01) How can we understand what is said here about the ten and along with that pray for the whole Kli?

R. So the entire vessel or one ten,it’s the same thing, the only difference is in size, yes, but as a principle, it's the same structure. If we’ll take a small ten and we expand it more, then we'll have all of humanity, you'll reduce it back for a minute then you'll get the ten that belongs, let's say, to some large area of the world, it's all the same structure,ten and not nine, ten and not eleven, alright?

67. S. (01:36:25) The Creator created us with the evil inclination and we pray for the correction because we feel that we're lacking forces but when we scrutinize it in the ten, how can we take the whole world clean in our heart, too?

R. There is no problem, to receive the entire world Kli in my heart and to receive only one private ten in my heart, there's no difference. I just need to clean myself from the ego, and either a small ten or the largest ten, then they enter in my heart.

68. S. (01:37:45) We are outside of our constant tens and we mixed up, and now we see a lot of local groups and we feel a strong connection specifically of the local vessels. So when we're here what's more important: to feel this local connection in this place where we're at, or feel above countries or cities with the general world Kli that we're part of that whole?

R. Of course surely this is more important for us to feel that there are no borders, there are no limits between us, there are no blockings, that's the most important thing.

S. In the connection in the ten I come out from the ten into the world Kli and here it turns out that from this local Kli, first I feel them then I go to the world, and not directly?

R. Directly, directly you exit to the world Kli.

69. S. (01:39:30) In excerpt number three it says, “as long as a person strengthens the prayer to the Creator, he wins the war”, so in what is the winning, winning the war itself?

R. That he's not afraid of the war, he's not running away from the war with his ego; rather his ego is against it, he reveals it and asks of the Creator to destroy his ego. And this is man's entire tactic in war with his ego.

70. S. (01:40:26) How to connect two opposite states inside me, on one hand, I feel rejection, and on the other hand I feel great deficiency for connection and prayer, there's a big struggle inside.

R. Before you start to do something, first of all connect, and then you won't have any problem in some action, is that clear?

71. S. (01:41:11) I want to understand what's the difference between the lesson we have today to a regular lesson we have on Shabbat, the afternoon lessons? Because there’s a feeling that we've gathered as big groups, small groups around the world of the Partzuf of Adam HaRishon, so the question is what should be the relation between all the organs in scrutinizing the prayer or does the true prayer come down to us through the Rosh of the Partzuf?

R. What are you confusing, Rosh, Partzuf, with these things as if you understand what it’s talking about, so the question really is: what’s the differences between the Convention and a normal lesson that we are having now in the afternoon, right? The difference is that we are present, that we've all gathered together in order to connect and that in this connection will reveal the Creator, is that clear?

S. In our local connections do we have a role that we will scrutinize a certain part of the prayer?

R. And what have we been talking about all the time?

S. Great friends have gathered here, so much inspiration, and I want to come out of this Congress with the right direction, so the whole prayer, it's for the whole world. There’s a desire to understand correctly who should I pray for first, these great friends that are here and around the world that are doing amazing things and that they'll have forces to go through the barrier, through the Machsom; or to pray for those who aren't learning for spirituality enough, that they’ll have a deficiency to a deficiency to bestow?

R. No, no, no, no, rather to pray for the friends that are closest to me, that are here with me in this path, that with them I want to be connected to one heart, in one heart such that this heart will be filled with the Creator, that's what we need to do, that’s it.

72. S. (01:45:10) A prayer to understand where a person is wether closer or far from the goal, and in the ten; I know what's happening in my heart but what's happening in that friend, that I'm not sure yet. So what is a better prayer, to pray together or when one friend prays for everyone, for the whole ten, what's better?

R. It's better that we describe to ourselves that we are in one heart and praying on this that this one feel this one heart will be felt by the Creator, and we are ready to open our mutual heart, our common heart to Him in order that it will be revealed in us, is that clear.

73. S. (01:46:32) In the process of cleansing the heart, what do we do with the ego?

R. In the process of the cleansing of the heart we need to feel that our heart is being cleaned and there's room already not just for reception but also for bestowal, not for hate and all sorts of egoistical sensations but rather also for connection.

74. S. (01:48:01) Also in Germany, there are a lot of friends from Kiev and they have a question: how should we depict every excerpt here as a prayer, how will everyone get a correction on their prayers here, now?

R. What's the problem, if we are scrutinizing a problem of what we want, a common problem of what we want, that's a prayer, that's a prayer, practically. And I think that you have very good conditions, and in general, all the groups except for maybe one or two groups, but in general there are wonderful conditions and great preparation and understanding of what we need to do such that I hope that we will succeed, we will succeed.

75. S. (01:49:18) Questions friends from Moscow asked about doing good to others, what does it mean to do good to others, is it connecting the actions between us?

R. Ask the friends what it means to do good to the others and listen to what they'll answer you.

76. S. (01:49:52) In Columbia we're going through a very difficult financial state, right now in the ten we're dealing with very difficult problems, we had a friend die from the ten, it affected our connection in the ten so how can we overcome that if every time we feel those stronger attacks on connection between us?

R. You need to rise above these attacks and to be connected, to be connected above the attacks, and to make the effort you'll see how much all the events that were seemingly separating you, how much they connect you, try it, you'll see that all these disturbances are only out of fear.

77. S. (01:52:06) You said something before I'm having trouble with it, I think I understand what you mean but you said, “we need to get rid of what does not belong to creation”, please elaborate please?

R. That's not for now but over the next coming, next few coming lessons will clarify it.

78. S. (01:52:56) When we're in despair we process it into a prayer and it’s states that are not simple, they're all kinds of emotions, and now you're saying we have to strengthen in our prayer, what does it mean ‘to strengthen in a prayer’, how do we do that?

R. How to strengthen in a prayer: hen we connect together, to get closer to one another and in such a manner there appears in us, one common goal, desire, pain, sorrow, everything is common and then out of this com,om desire we already begin to raise ourselves to the Creator.

S. So we all have to be in the same state of despair in order to raise a prayer and then strengthen?

R. Yes.

79. S. (01:54:17) A lot of laws in nature and we’re concentrating on the force of connect, what's so special about it that it heals everything?

R. By the force of connection we rise above our ego, we annul it and thus, only in such a manner, we can all connect together and with the Creator, that He is One, and to begin to receive from Him according to the extent of connection between us what is in the Creator; in other words He begins to be revealed in us, that's what we need to do.

80. S. (01:55:23) What are the qualities we need for the prayer to become practical in our life?

R. That we will desire that the prayer will be truly realized and not just be empty words, words that have nothing in them besides words, that's what we need.

81. S. (01:56:20) From Kiev we're blessing the whole world Kli and we have a question: our ten is in the Congress for the first time and we're very excited, we feel this fear, the question is when we advance there's a feeling how the whole path is stress and going from hate to love. Is that a right understanding, that the quicker we go through the states, the quicker we advance is that an indication?

R. Yes, yes.

82. S. (01:57:10) What does it mean ‘to be despaired of his own forces’?

R. This means that I feel I have no forces to put up with my ego, to deal with it.

83. S. (01:57:50) What does it mean to feel the force of prayer in the ten, what is that intensity?

R. The intensity of the prayer, I cannot measure, this we learn later on in Pticha, The Preface or in TES, that the force of the prayer afterwards turns into the force of the screen, and that's how we get closer and we reach success, we reach success.
