Part 3. Rabash. They Helped Every One His Friend. (1984)

Reading (00:22) They Helped Everyone His Friend “We must understand, how can…”

1. S. (03:23) What's the matter of mood, meaning what is the connection between mood and bestowal?

R. If a person is, we are speaking of actions on the path, and on the path of the purpose of creation and he wants to attain it, so if a person feels on the path then his spirits should be high, that he is constantly advancing and he is happy. And in that, each one can help the others by giving the others uplifted spirits.

S. How did this mechanism work that I give or that I give a good mood to someone?

R. Through the connection between us and all kinds of forms of connection where a person is tied to others. Through that, he is able to deliver to him his mood and his spirit.

S. What is the connection? Or more correctly, we say that all the states of the person is in the hands of the Creator; He determines what states I receive onward. How does society influence the mood? I will ask it clearly. It seems here that in the matter of mood, there is an ability of the society to take or to determine something instead of the Creator towards the friends, is that correct?

R. Did you get it?

S. To determine something, that the society can determine something instead of the Creator towards the friends, precisely in the matter of mood?

R. Yes, of course if a person is in the society and the society changes its mood, then a person in that society is drawn after the society. That is how we are built, this is called the influence of the environment on a person.

S. And if we see that there is a friend who has no good mood and we are unsuccessful in raising his mood, is that a problem in the society or a problem in the friend?

R. Typically, a problem in the society. Typically, the problem is with the society. It is possible the society is not able to surround the person, to wrap him in order to influence so he would be within the state of the society.

2. S. (06:30) Rabash brings the strange example here that there is everyone rich or smart but there is another state where everyone is in a good mood, why is this a situation?

R. I didn't get it.

S. Why in the quality of everyone can be rich but in the matter of mood it cannot be that everyone has a good mood?

R. Because that's how it's arranged from Above, in order to advance the society, each one needs to be dependent on the others, and the upper Providence changes the relationships, the desires in such a way that each one is able to complete the other.

S. And that's how it is until the end of correction?

R. Yes, yes.

3. S. (07:45) He completes this and finishes saying that each one should help his friend raise his spirit. Think how he can help his friend raise his spirit because in the matter of spirits, anyone can find a needy place in one's friend that he can fill. That sentence in my opinion, each one needs to come to the convention with that, meaning that is the preparation, that is the way the heart opens and that is the way we come to the aspect of bestowal and that's where we will be connected and our sensitivity will rise?

R. Yes.

4. S. (08:38) We see that many friends from the world Kli exert a lot to come to the convention. When we do preparations and we are very inspired by them that they exert and come, sometimes I hear that from the friends that it is hard for us because we are coarse and if I remain virtual, so in relation to the article I will ask, how can we help? Is it correct that we are so coarse with our friends that we cannot even go 50 or 70 km in order to come to the convention? Is there really such a huge coarseness?

R. I guess, yes. I'm not making a precise calculation and if I am 50 km from the Congress or 500 km from the Congress. What about it? I don't take into consideration the exertion and that is a problem because that exertion, specifically, is something you can't cover any other way.

S. Can we help them overcome?

R. Try, everything is in your hands and in your connection. Try it.

5. S. (10:30) Now there is a feeling that many friends are in this constant prayer to the Creator. How can we bring it about that the Creator will hear our prayer and give us the opportunity to bestow and to open our heart?

R. Pray together with them, ask and turn to the Creator so He would help us connect, be in the Congress, and in general be “as one man in one heart,” all of us. Okay?

6. S. (11:27) Should I have a different attitude to a friend who is watching the convention virtually that he does not do it physically or should I not make such a calculation on that?

R. Look, we know that in our world where we exist there is a difference between physical distance and spiritual distance, there's a difference. Although we are connected through mobile phones and other means of communication, nevertheless the connection when we gather and especially when we are eating together although we are not appreciating it enough but nevertheless it is very important. For me it seems to be very important when a person comes to a lesson and a meal and afterwards if he stays over to sleep fine, if not that, is okay.

S. What does a person receive from a physical participation at the convention that he cannot receive from the virtual participation?

R. You cannot compare, the virtual participation is not emotional, it is not emotional, only if a person activates an additional deficiency for connection it adds to him but if not, if he is not making the additional effort and his participation it’s seemingly not happening.

7. S. (14:10) You direct us that the whole world vessel will become a ten. I try to open my heart to connect and to escape from the ten because everything is very comfortable there. How do we prevent the small escapes from my own small ten?

R. Try to open your heart in such a way that everyone around you becomes your ten at least in the Congress.

S. If you see the friends who escaped in the ten do I support them?

R. Give him an example.

8. S. (15:10) The matter of helping the friend with a mood, we always talk about giving an example. There are friends who are so many years in the path and they know the theory all around.

R. But do they make it to the end of correction.

S. Right, no.

R. No, it is only theory.

S. How do we help such a friend?

R. You give him an example, you give him an example even if he is here for forty years already.

S. What example, in practice, in internality?

R. Yes, in whatever you can.

S. When he says to raise the mood is that only an example or should I also do something toward him in practice? What does it mean to help a friend?

R. Give him an example.

S. Quietly?

R. It could be quiet, it could be with words, with an embrace.

S. Because from the action we see that it is very, very hard that it will awaken the heart of the friend, to give him a high spirit as it is written here in the article.

R. It depends on how you are doing it. If you are doing it from the subtlety of your heart then it works.

S. How do we learn that subtlety of the heart?

R. We try to connect to a friend according to how much he can understand you more internally.

9. S. (17:12) I wanted to ask about the time between the two days of the convention, when the schedule finishes on the first day we can relax in the intention? What usually happens with the convention and I'll add to the question of whoever is living around here, we are going home, so we have the evening and the morning between the first and second day, then there's also this matter, I remember at the conventions, at the end of the first day there is kind of a relaxation and we do an item or I see that people even leave to party. Do we hold that onto the intention between the days and if so how?

R. You have way more experience in that than me. I don't know what to say, what do you think?

S. Give an example of the Arava, the day ends and we go to sleep and we get up and you are really enveloped in these two days. As here, we try to sleep here because it helps me try not to have that detachment so it is a question. Should we also arrange a place for the friends because it is not really organized for people who are close to the center or that accommodation that is here?

R. I don't know what to tell you. Each one according to what's comfortable, there are those who must go to bed because they are done, they are burnt out after such a day and there are those who can keep going until the morning and another two days afterwards.

10. S. (19:16) If we do something on the roof we're here and we let the friends gather here so it helps people not to disperse in all kinds of places and then whoever needs that extra he has it here and contributes and it's under control?

R. No problem, we can do it on the roof or on the ground floor, wherever you want. Besides that it is still between Saturday and Sunday. You need to organize those things. If many people, maybe the majority of people want to go out to all kinds of places then you need to maybe do it here.

S. The convention finishes at 7:00 p.m. officially, there will be people here from the meeting and for our own sake there are a few types of people and those types of people who want to go home and sleep and we will leave that for whoever wants to. Whoever wants to further connect and to drink they are invited to go to the roof and there will be a bar and music and a place where connection between the friends and we'll give that opportunity to other friends according to whatever he is comfortable with. Adding to that, from the time that the friends from the world Kli come, it's worthwhile for them to have their own environment and they won't search for all kinds of places. Every evening at the end of the activities there is a meal and then there is a bar on the roof and they always do warm friend gatherings, so here at home or in the center 24/7, there's an opportunity to be with a friends, with whoever is here and whoever came from abroad, anyone who came from around Israel can stay here, so there's a place here for everyone, whoever wants.

R. Okay, that is clear.

11. S. (22:03) I hear you say at the convention many friends will come and practice the revelation of the Creator that they will cross the Machsom to the spiritual world?

R. Did they say today?

S. They are saying for a period that.

R. Okay, keep going.

S. We are coming up to a great state where the friends, a huge thing will happen to the friends, a nation will be born here, the nation of Israel, but our request is practical advice from your experience to a friend who enters in practice to the revelation of the Creator. What should he do and how can he behave healthily in the society and the friends who are around him? What should they do with such a friend in practice?

R. Try to be together, together and not that he is special or they are special but rather to be together and not jump above everyone

12. S. (23:26) I'm speaking about how to operate the body, the donkey. What can I do practically, how can I be healthy, how can I be a healthy friend at the convention, when such a significant event like this takes place?

R. Be joyful, bring joy to the friends, try not to get drunk but to be happy and in joy.

13. S. (22:14) What responsibility do we have in the group so when it comes down to the mood of someone else?

R. He has to be concerned with a kind of reaction he is inviting from the friends.

S. What is a person always lacking in the mood and where does that come from? What does it mean to raise his mood spiritually?

R. To give him hope that we are reaching the end of correction.

14. S. (24:57) In relation to all the friends who are going to be virtual in the convention, how can the virtual Kli implement its potential and turn into this supportive force at the convention?

R. Each one needs to look into it and it is best if everyone just speaks about that, men, women.

S. (25:26) Is there something special that everyone needs to do or just to be in the background or to be together with everyone?

R. To open the heart and come closer to the friends.

15.S. (25:39) About how to express love of friends externally, is it more correct to ask a friend how they would want you to show them love?

R. Man's heart has to say what the friends expect of him.

16. S. (26:11) The instrument of the workshop was the central instrument and over the years that brought us into connection and suddenly we are speaking about silence and opening the heart outwards. What changed and why did the path between us change?

R. The path did not change, in silence and quietness can also be a means for connection.

17. S. (26:42) What to do if I feel completely unprepared for the Congress very distant from the standards that you laid out today?

R. You in any case need to come and you have to come and enter among everyone, like a small one in a society of great ones and then you will progress or else you will not grow.

18. S. (27:30) We come from afar to the Congress and we haven't been physically with our friends for many months, we miss them greatly and now that we are going to meet physically. Should we have limited communication, should we not embrace each other and ask each other, how are you doing?

R. Look at what your heart tells you and that is all, do all what your heart says and do it.

19. S. (28:12) In the Congress I want to disappear and restrict myself and there is no reality, only the friends. The problem is that their friends come to the Congress and tell me that you're great, you're special, the questions are beautiful but they disturb my goal?

R. That is how it appears to you.

S. How do I do that in practice? I want to disappear and they inflict me instead of shrinking and they harm me, and they obstruct my way to the goal. What should I do with all those who praise me and raise me? It is a great disturbance. Maybe I ask them to stop it?

R. I'd say that even beforehand, close your ears.

20. S. (29:22) Why can't we gather all of us in the whole world Kli physically in our building? Why is the Creator not allowing it, what are we lacking?

R. Please come, everyone there's no problem, there's no problem. We built another area with air conditioning, with everything, so please come. The more of you who come we will insert you here and there will be enough for everyone. I cannot say to a person buy a ticket and come. I don't understand his states, his health, his financial situation, his family situation, but we are ready to accept everyone and as much as you come here we will have a place for everyone.

S. He is asking from the side of the Creator, why isn't the Creator aligning all of us at our home to gather physically and all of us to come here. Why gather such a state virtual and so on and so forth?

R. It is still not the end of correction, still not the end of correction.
