Part 1:
Faith Above Reason - Selected Excerpts from the Sources. #75
1. Rav’s Introduction: (00:33) Yes, we are continuing on the same topic that we had before. It is really an endless topic of faith above reason until the final correction Gmar Tikkun. So we will continue.
Reading item 75: (00:59) “We can see that the whole basis..” Twice
2. S. (06:03) What is written here is interesting that NRNHY d’Neshama comes thanks to this a person is in need of the Creator. How does my neediness of the Creator bring me to this quality?
R. You force him to be revealed, that's why attain Hiim. If you feel that it's up to you to reveal the Creator and with it you do the required conditions and by that you discover the Creator.
S. We simply learn as Rabbash writes late, we simplify yearn to go above reason so why should I obligate Him to be revealed? We say that we don't need His revelation and that we want to work above reason.
R. Revealing the Creator means that you are ready to transform your state to such that it will be compatible with the revelation of the Creator therefore you get closer to the friends, you set up all the required conditions so that the Creator can be revealed by equivalence of form as we say and then He becomes revealed.
S. So it comes as an aid and assistance from the Creator?
R. Yes this is assistance from the Creator. He is giving you the corresponding qualities you collect them, combine them and then aim them at the Creator.
3. S. (08:19) This state, that we are needy of the Creator, is felt as a great gift and there are many states in which we tried to reach this sensation and which we don't succeed. So what's the advice that we need to reach?
R. That you relate to friends as you would relate to the Creator. You don't know exactly what the Creator is, you can't detect the Creator,you can't sense the Creator's response. You don't understand his response but if you relate to the friends through the quality of bestowal, connection, getting closer to them drawn to them. or drawing them to you. Then you feel that such actions bring you a sense of proximity to the Creator. This is called from love of the created being to the love of the Creator.
S. The need for the assistance of the Creator cannot come directly but only in the work to the friends?
R. You have no need, you have to express the need to set up the deficiency for it.
4. S. (09:57) It is written in a text that we receive a new soul. It's written here that by this, by receiving new powers meaning a new soul. What is the meaning of receiving a new soul?
R. New soul basically means the light that fills the Kli that is suitable for it. In the meantime it is not the light of Neshama iit is the light that begins to enter the corrected desire of man that is compatible to that light.
.
5. S. (11:00) How does the friend appear in your eyes to the extent of the revelation of the Creator?
R. They begin to seem to you. the more they seem to you as the more advanced towards the Creator with me in my eye and so I relate them to the Creator more and more. I bring them closer to the Creator more and more. That's how it begins to appear to me. It's all because I determine that and that is how it is with respect to each and every friend. As much as I try, as much as I lower my spirituality and the Creator in my eyes , I lower the friends l my eyes the friends at actually lower in my eyes and vice versa.
S. In the qualities of NRNHY How do I change the attitude towards them?
R. In the qualities of NRNHY, the more I attain the qualities of NRNHY the more my friends ascend.
6. S. (12:57) Is the help of The Creator here showing the person's true condition?
R. Relatively relatively.,at least a part of his true state. Uyes.
7. S. (13:37) So what is the truth that he sees in the reason that allows him to go above reason?
R. Because he sees that it becomes revealed from his inner states. That's one and two that he needs to have faith in the sages; in what they write.
8. S. (14:33) So what is it that we reach wholeness? By this that we need the Creator of all the time?
R. That too. Wholeness is in that through the connection with all of creation you attain the Creator the inner force of creation that gives birth to, orchestrates, governs and organizes all of them. That's what you discover, that is called creation.
S. Every day is a new day; we want to yearn to reach greater wholeness. Do we reveal it?
R. Of course why otherwise why would you need a new day?
9. S. (15:33) What’s exactly that a reason is revealing to a person that he needs to then rise above it?
R. The reason shows to him the reason. What he received in his Kelim of reception and what he actually wants to fulfill the Kelim with naturally and in faith above reason meaning that he prefers to be in the force of Bina, the force of bestowal, above the force of reception then he rises to a higher degree.
S. What does a person do when he doesn't see he is needy of the Creator and he feels he has his own forces. Meaning after the Congress he feels his own forces he is satiated, he doesn't feel needy?
R. Look, typically after a Congress it is a little difficult because people are exhausted, they are full, they got used to a different kind of dynamic and relationship and study during these days and how to to pass the time and absorb new discernments that is clear, that is obvious. Now we need to go to a new style, so it's not like we are going back to what we had specifically, we are adding another style of our connection with each other, with each other, with the Creator and so forth.
I think that's what is unchanging and what we have to keep holding ourselves towards is is that we are connected to the ten and this work does not end. We have to find somehow more and more ways and more states in which we are connected, in which we are active with men and women. I see that even though the states change, the groups maintain themselves, and that's what we do. So it doesn't matter how the states change and what happens. We need to go forward towards the same goal and it doesn't matter to us what happens. Our whole progress depends on how bonded we are with that goal and we don't deviate from the path and take upon ourselves all kinds of qualities or conditions that are not from the world of bestowal.
S. After the Congress is there some additional, some renewal in the work that we need to add at the moment?
R. We talked about that too. What's an addition in the work? We need to see more and more every friend as a partner in the final goal and how connected we are all in the final goal. How I open my heart to everyone and that truly we can go a bit deeper into each and everyone where our goal resides. And that's how we gradually detect it. We further and further build, we build this place where we will discover that it is our common heart, the central point of all the worlds which is when our hearts truly connect they’ll lead us to that feeling of the central point.
S. When a person is entirely excited with inspiration, what is he turning to the Creator?
R. That is not really a state from which you can turn because a person all in all is a limited Kli and if it is filled by a certain phenomenon, meaning something spiritual light then it rules him and then the person cannot express himself but only the light that fills him. So there is a different kind of work here which is the connection with others and it is possible that we are in different states and even if we do become filled by different states like in this example but each and everyone has a different state of being fulfilled and that's why there is a difference between them and from that difference they turn to the Creator and ask him for connection. That my point of fulfillment and the other friend and the other friend, they are nevertheless different points and we want the Creator to give us one common point and thus, we advance.
10. S. (22:15) The qualities of NRNHY is this the same as the faith that we spoke about yesterday?
R. No, no it's not exactly like that. NRNHY is the whole light of Ein Sof that can in the current state fill our mutual Kli.
S. In order for a person to be in need of the Creator he needs to perform sweetening of Malchut and Bina and then he feels the darkness that is written about in ‘Shamati’ that he performs this action in which it is said,”he is aided?”
R. Typically a person receives help when he really wants to connect to the friend's and sees that in the current state he cannot make this action happen because our connection is the goal. We have to return to a complete Kli of Adam HaRishon and we have no choice. If this is ultimately what we ask for then we will ultimately receive it.
11. S. (24:12) During the Congress the time passed so quickly and we went through many many states very quickly. Is this hastening of time and what effect did that acceleration have on the rest of humanity?
R. We don't yet understand. We don't yet feel these changes, these waves that we make ripple through to humanity and work there as well but certainly you will see, not today, and not tomorrow so that it won't influence you in a bad way but you will see how much you influence everyone. Why can it harm you to see that? Because you are still not under a Masach that can cover you from pride from some power of prideful overcoming and so forth. So you don't understand how much you influence humanity but you don't deserve to see it.
12. S. (25:58) In those different developments does connection change in the ten?
R. Of course it changes. The connection in the ten is always under dynamic changes. Yes, of course.
S. Is the connectivity changing or the structure of the connection changing?
R. Both the ability to connect and the connection itself and the results of the connection and the fulfillment from the connection all of these things are dynamically and constantly changing.
13. S. (27:02) It says in the excerpt that only by faith it is possible to emerge from exile. We know that but when we judge by reason it's not always possible to go beyond reason. So how can we go and overcome and emerge from exile faster in each phase. So, the question of the friend, what do you advise to accelerate the time to do that to go from that exile to go beyond reason?
R. There is only one means that I let go of myself and I adhere to the friend. In this way I rise from reason to an upper reason. It is the only way. In short, connection between the friends, so that I do not want to feel myself but rather I want to feel them.
14. S. (28:25) You just answered that the moment that you feel that you fall you feel that all the friends fall. When you rise you feel all the friends rise. So we know the Creator is always the one that is assisting us and assisting the friends to realize this work. On the other hand you understand that the responsibility is still up to you. How do you put this self on the side?
R. If you are not working alone but with your friends then you won't feel like you are fooling yourself, lying to yourself. Your actions will dissolve in the others and you will do them together with them.
15. S. (29:50) Does the ten maintain itself?
R. The ten guarding itself meaning that the ten is always concerned about it’s increasing connection.
S. What is the connection in this?
R. In that despite all the changes that they feel, every moment, in every person and all of you together, you maintain that the connection between you will always grow stronger.
16. S. (30:45) What is this central fundamental jump that we made in this Congress?
R. The essential leap is that we have learnt how to work together more in connection. We better and better understand and feel that we are advancing towards Lishma and that Lishma requires us to let go of ourselves and incorporate with the friends and Lishma begins after I feel my friends and I am with them my in bonds of love and one thing depends on the other and that's what we started to understand in the congress and the matter of Lishma doesn't seem so far and repulsive and confusing to us. We rather recognise that it is in front of us and that we have to approach it and get closer to it, understand it, better recognise it, connect to it, touch it. Meaning it is already almost within our reach; the beginning of our reach.
S. There was a feeling in the Congress like we were inserted, like we were put into a bigger place, like we were babies before and now we move to this bigger place, full of sensations, feeling the friends and I have noticed the schedule ended yesterday I had this grave sensation. My question is how not to fall into this grayness had to take this new playground that the Creator placed us in and to develop more in this place?
R. I don't think that we are facing some gray time ahead of us. What's ahead of us really is a work area that is intense but it is work that it is connected between the mind and the heart and the connection between us. Meaning that we are going further and further into the connection between us to find all sorts of phenomena that are new, emotionally new and that's how we will advance. So there is no reason to be afraid or be sorry just to hold onto us together and you won't lose your direction.
S. Yes, that's clear. This sensation of the world Kli regarding his Congress was so strong and inspirational and lively there are just no words. Such a sensation of so many groups and friends just fills the heart so much. How, because now we are back in our tens, how to hold this entire Kli the world vessel in our hearts?
R. Yes, that's a problem to come back after such a connection in the Congress to a state like what you describe today. Cold, not many people, everyone is in their own kind of corner and it is as if it lowers the spirits of each one a few degrees down. What to do? I think that we need to connect between us even more to warm up to each warm their friends and thus we will try to rise. I don't know what to say but when I came to, when I was living in Israel for the first years here there wasn't that much heating and in short the winter's were cold and different places when we were here and I was living in the same area basically and there was snow.
Today that there is no snow anymore it is long gone and I remember that there was a very strange feeling. What to do? I think that we have to try to feel that we are together, keeping each other warm, connecting sitting closer and closer to each other as if each one feels the shoulder of the other and let's warm each other up. Most importantly on the inside, let's keep each other internally warm now after the Congress. That's the time that we should unveil the staff with which we go forward and keep running towards the purpose of creation. I am certain that there are many people among us that are ready for this. yes.
17. S. (38:07) How do we build this new Masach on this new degree so that we can serve the friends without pride?
R. We continue together and we will see in the same writings of the Kabbalists additional things that will help us to advance more and more. That's it. you'll see. Today we are in this transition from Congress to a regular day but within a day, a day and a half, it will all work out.
18. S. (39:27) I heard you saying to the friend that we need to have faith in the sages and faith in our teachers. What is faith in our teacher or faith in the sages?
R. There are many conditions in this. It is also written that you can find this. First of all, we rely on them 100%. We go after them, we follow their path and what they say we perform even if we don't see that they are correct because it is against our reason, against our logic and thus we are like little kids, go after them in strides and do whatever they do. And like little kids, like monkeys, we copy, imitate, conditions, actions, motions of the adults and as such we want to resemble the great Kabbalists and what they do or advise us, that's how we need to do and slowly gradually begin to feel in those actions what they advise us to do some flavors, and afterwards, content and then we advance.
19. S. (41:34) It says in the article it says that a person has the reason to see his true state. The question is that part of the reason is it a Kli that receives light and light of faith or is it an important Kli to discover the place where we have to raise a prayer?
R. It's a state of understanding.
20. S. (42:37) I wanted to ask about this transition of working in the individual Kli to working in the collective Kli. How does it happen because all of the discernments we are talking about are very much felt. They are, they kind of become realized in a Kli that is general?
R. That too we cannot scrutinize because these things are changing in us. They go through all sorts of changes. We will come back to that same question in another month or two and then we'll be able to precisely scrutinize how the private Kli influences the general Kli and how in general each one can influence its ten and the entire group and all the rest of the groups.
S. So, from a different direction in a Congress there is this feeling, this experience of a general inspiration that sweeps everyone and in getting back to the ten there is something very demanding and focused in relation to the work that a person must do and so how to leverage this intensity that exists in a ten?
R. We need to make a meeting, to hold a meeting with all the ten and bring us back to as much connection that we can be in now after the congress and to continue the work between us. To bring it back to the ten because during the Congress we were spread out.
S. And yet when we were scattered, I can say about myself that I don't feel like I lost my connection with the ten because we are so much working on the connection between us all the time that it doesn't matter where you are, you come to it from them. So what I'm trying to understand is how can tens now build themselves even more and realize this next stage we want to get into?
R. I think that first of all we need to find the tens as tens. That each ten should realize itself as much as it is assembled together as one, as much as it is connected to its goal, its personal specific one and then afterwards that they should continue in this. but first of all to find themselves as connected together because nonetheless in the system of Adam HaRishon they do not separate and are drawn as one point within the general Kli.
S. What does it mean that the ten finds itself, what does it look for in order to find?
R. It feels itself as let's say a ship, that all its parts are nonetheless connected together and going against all the waves and the winds and what it is searching for is its place where it's connected between them all its parts truly as one point.
S. And what do we need to find?
R. This one point; as one man in one heart. This is the point where each one loses his individuality and all receive together their general point of connection of theirs.
S. That same one point of the ten is it a point that exists or?
R. It exists, yes.
S. In order to reach that one singular point everyone does work towards that point?
R. Yes, we need to meet in the small point of ours and for us it's the central point.
S. What is that point if we want to meet there? Where do we meet? What is that point?
R. We meet in the center of the Kli of Adam HaRishon.
21. S. (48:18) I just want to say that every Congress I go to this one is always the best; the new one is always the best and I feel that because when I go back to the ten I feel like I just got a shot of B12, like vitamin B12 and it makes me feel even stronger to attack the work and to dedicate myself even stronger and I can feel that with the the other members of the ten. So, maybe this is just for today but that's how it feels.
R. Well great. We hope that after now you've received the vitamin you'll be more active.
22. S. (50:21) I'm no longer afraid to lose the friends because I'm with them and I always pray for them.
R. Okay great.
Reading item number 76, twice. (50:37) “It follows that the restriction and the concealment were made to benefit the lower one..”
23. S. (54:18) What do we need to pay attention to fix the lack in a specific way?
R. On each and every moment that we receive that we are in the best possible opportunity there can be. And thus, ultimately, all the time we need only to raise to the Creator greatness of gratitude.
24. S. (55:54) Here's the question: what's the difference between blind faith and faith above reason?
R. Faith above reason is revelation that I begin to see the upper world in Kelim of bestowal and in blind faith, as you say, I don't know exactly what you mean, but that's not faith above reason.
25. S. (56:55) What is in that commonplace that we aspire to that doesn't exist in the collection of impressions of each and every one. What is in that commonplace, that shared place that doesn't exist in collecting of the impressions. We said today that one is impressed by the Congress and the other is impressed by a descent and the other in this and that and we have to collect everything but what is in that shared space beyond those collected impressions?
R. The Creator to which we are drawn and we're speaking only about the Kelim by what Kelim we reach to him and attain him.
26. S. (57:46) How does a person who has a serious sickness, how can he rise above reason despite the suffering he feels in his body?
M. He's asking how can a person who has a serious illness and therefore suffers all the time. How can he not curse the Creator and rise above reason despite what he feels in his body all that suffering?
R. That is according to the support of the friends otherwise he cannot perform it. A person on his own is not capable of anything, two,three and then already he begins in force, but not otherwise.
27. S. (59:22) I understood from the text we should always be thankful and not criticize the Creator until we reach Lishma or we can criticize the Creator until then?
R. No, until we reach Lishma we cannot make criticism of the Creator. We don't exactly understand what is the content of his actions.
28. S. (01:00:29) Do we receive the Creator's mercy when we justify every state?
R. Of course, there will be a state in which we justify the Creator and all the states that will be. That will be the state of the end of correction and it's not just that we will justify him, rather we will perform those same actions that he seemingly needs to do and we will do it before him.
29. S (01:01:28) In the Congress we had a feeling of a very powerful shared deficiency and it feels like this deficiency keeps growing. There was no longer a need to fill this deficiency only to to work and rejoice in this great deficiency so the question is how to work with this great deficiency and how to aim ourselves correctly?
R. Look, you reached some state and you've been given work. Let's say to some dress from cloth for everyone and you begin to cut and try to put it together and so on but you weren't even measuring this clothing, is it reaching its end? Is it suitable to somebody that you want to put it on maybe some statue or doll, and it turns out that although you are connected together but without the tendency to the goal you didn't check that your connection is advancing you to the goal and here there is something bing missed but it's not so bad you did good work although it's partial but that's how it's suitable for someone who's still advancing.
S. How do you measure the dress while working on it?
R. Next time we will work on that it was impossible to do both at the same time, you did everything necessary. Excellent and more than this is impossible.
30. S. (01:03:50 ) What concludes our inner work to help each other justify the states from the Creator and what the Creator gives us?
R. Gradually and slowly you will reach a state in which you will be able to correctly aim one another and you'll be able to understand one another and the connection between you'll be able to achieve the greater image of the Creator. Full of colors and sensations and then all of this will be received entirely differently in your eyes. How can I say this, it's like when you encounter somebody, someone beloved, and you want this beloved person to be like this in this suitable to you, and in this you lean on them and you feel that there is nothing separated between you, adhesion and such a connection, such a tight connection that all your thoughts and all your sensations and all your plans, all this will be entirely similar to his. That's such a state that we should reach that's called one man and one heart.
31. S. (01:06:06) When we start to clear a path with our friends, is that like a Masach that and with that we're aware of that? Do we pray to the Creator for help and how do we do that?
R. It seems to us that we're thinking good about others and we want to help them and we need to include the Creator in this, that's through the friends we need want to come closer to him and to cause him contentment and if we connect these things together, together. this. That's it there's no more than this.
32. S. (01:07:13) I can't hear the lesson. Is this an opportunity to go in faith above reason?
R. It's an opportunity for exertion, if it's already in faith above reason. I don't think but it is an opportunity for exertion. Try to enter the content of the lesson.
33 S. (01:08:02) Our whole work is in concealment so why do we talk about revelation why do we need it?
R. We need revelation because in order to not cancel the concealment but rather we need it but that above the concealment we will reveal our relation to the Creator.
34. S. (01:08:46) Faith above reason we got it between us in the connection but with the effort or with a prayer?
R. Both this and that, in prayer there is effort and also in exertion there is prayer.
35. S. (01:09:19) We don't see that the Creator benefits us. How can we strengthen this perception that we're outside of Egypt?
R. We are not outside of Egypt, we are at the exit of Egypt and it's dependent on our effort. I very much hope that we will overcome this and that the forces of Pharaoh that are pulling us back to Egypt as we see from the stories when Pharaoh sent his chariot and soldiers and as many additional forces that want to somehow confuse us that we will remain in Egypt. Nonetheless your life will be all fine here but you just need to agree to one thing.
You work in your ego with the intention to receive and it will give you pleasures and everything will be fine, women, kids and work and salary, everything that you have. Everything will be fine and workout, where are you running to? Where are you trying to leap to and go to this? Here's the question of how does a person want to annul everything just to know the purpose of life and the essence of life and what am I living for, I don't want to just live another number of years and then die and then rot in the ground like everyone. I want to attain the true world and for this I exist. We hope for this that we will fulfill ourselves and be as such.
36. S. (01:12:03) The feeling that I got from the Congress disappeared completely and I feel that I'm a ghost walking among the friends as if it's the first day that I study Kabbalah, what do I do in the state?
R. Excellent meaning during the Congress you were connected with people and you are with them and you got to some sensation that you are beaming this sensation to one another and what now? Now you're not in connection, not physically, not virtually, I guess not virtually as it was during the Congress. Aso there wasn't a preparation like during the time of the Congress and what happens truly is a state that's less upliftment than in the Congress. What to do? Try to raise oneself from the lesson as it was in the Congress
What's the difference between the Congress and the lesson no difference. I now can receive all those same results, the highest results, which I received or wanted to receive during the time of the Congress. What's the difference? There is no difference, all in all it's the same assembly of friends that want to be together and connection and to reach the Creator, to feel him into insert him in the mutuality between all of you and as much as the mutuality is more connected end more stable and in this we will reveal the Creator. So let's go. There are no disturbances and if there are correct disturbances that you need to correct the, you will have an even better, more suitable connection more suitable to the degree that needs to be.
37. S. (01:15:05) How can we hold the Creator with the right intention in our hearts even under concealment?
R. By force and that specifically good that you demand from your state and concealment that you want to reveal the Creator between you and relations between people that he will dwell. That you want the connection between you, to build such relations that will be suitable for the quality of the Creator, bestowal, love ,connection, closeness and then when you make the effort to reach this you ask that it will be like this between you and solely gradually you come closer to this. Let's go, it all depends on you. Nonetheless you can always pray.
38. S. (01:16:24) How can we always be drawn towards the greatness of the friends and not to be drawn towards their externality?
R. How to do it? Do it together and then from your effort you will build this state.
39. S. (01:17:37) You recommended that we follow the Kabbalists like monkeys and then gradually get a feeling of what they're writing to us. There's a feeling sometimes that you're standing before the excerpts they are exalted and that it's true but a person as you say that a person wants a daughter of the king. He thinks maybe one day but also in the convention there's great inspiration from the importance that you get from the environment. It's something big that wraps you. But in the Ten when add friend does a small action of bestowal in front of you you can really learn from him how to be a bestower and that personal clothes connection there is envy and even a prayer can come out of it to want to be like the friend to bestow like him you can feel how back connection can leave you indifferent and it forces you to change you want to get back to him. How can we observe these states correctly?
Because it's as if a person has a choice either there to be inspired by it or two kind of disregard it and not to take the example inside all the way and try and change from it , where do you take the forces to get inspired from the friends and the environment and the writings of the Kaabalists and study and not just pass it on? it's like the ego says maybe you're not worthy maybe it's too big?
R. Make a calculation you have either envy or lust or honor and through one of them you have to come out of your state, envy does not allow you the opportunity?
S. Yes, that's the most painfull why the friends bestowing and you're not like him yet. That forces you to change to make you want to be like him.
R. Go ahead look at the friends and collect from each and every one such crumbs of envy, lust and honor and you will have enough to rise above and ask the Creator why does he receive and how he enjoys his state that he got from the ascent and I am not. Turn to the Creator and say and tell him.
40. S. (01:21:20) In 76 there are expressions that we should believe above reason and that the way things seem to us that's how it's supposed to be. How can it be that we doubt that things can be otherwise?
R. I don't know how to answer precisely but we receive everything from the point of the final correction.
S. Things seem as the end of the action begins with a thought but you said again that everything we grasp it's like a film that's projected to us but this film was created in advance whatever has to happen will happen. On the other hand, in order to advance and faith above reason, they tell us that in every new state, we still need to criticize it and have doubt and then advance.
R. Not really what does it mean to doubt anything, I am getting ready to use everything precisely according to its purpose.
S. But when reason becomes faith so there's a new reason we need to advance?
R. Of course you need to rise above reason. How is reason worse than knowledge? It's not for nothing that it said faith above reason.
S. In importance it is higher but how do you ascend above the new reasons it comes without criticism?
R. Through doubts and criticism you will not rise higher you will rise as a scientist or an engineer but not spiritually. Spiritually you can only rise above reason and not within reason.
41. S. (01:24:50) We have sources, the Torah, the environment and friends where can we attain more faith from? From the environment or from the sources where can we strengthen more?
R. Of course, from the sources from our connections between us we only receive the necessities, where to ascend but how to ascend. We get that from the sources.
42.S. (01:24:39) The convention gave us a feeling of unity with the whole world Kli and desire to encompass all the friends with love and gratitude to the Creator. It really strengthens the unity in the Ten. The question is how can we check that we're truly bestowing personally and from behalf of the whole ten?
R. How do you check through the connection between you in advanced words at how much through the connection between us we are able to reveal ourselves as one man and one heart.
43. S. (01:26:35) In 76 that says that the restriction and concealment is for the benefit of the lower one, let's say a person feels a huge sensation of wholeness and connection so does the upper one restrict the feeling of the lower one to protect him?
R. The upper one of course limits the lower one because otherwise the lower one will get into such things as he will not be able to get out of. The upper one always limits the lower one. In our life we also limit the children to what he's allowed and what he's not allowed.
44. S. (01:27:24) How should the lower one react or respond in such a way?
R. That he continues forward with understanding and adherence to the upper and receiving all of the limitations from the upper and in such a way he advances. If he cancels the limitations of yesterday and receives limitations of today it means that he is walking up the ladder. This is his letter of his degrees.
45. S. (01:28:28) How can we measure what is happening to us?
R. As much as we draw closer to one another, we can measure how much we enter and change the conditions of connection from this to that.
46. S. (01:28:39)) What is exertion?
R. What is exertion? Exertion is that we want to rise above our head.
47. S. (01:29:02) What's the difference between faith above reason and exertion?
R. Faith above reason is that we go according to the conditions of the upper. and exertion is according to our ability.
48. S. (01:29:28) Envy lust and honor, what is lust on our path?
R. He explains to us there, but really he does not give a solution. Envy, lust, and honor, all of these we need to receive in the degree above our own. What does it mean? That we lift ourselves, that we lift ourselves, how do you say, above our existing mind and feeling and are ready to receive the mind of the upper above our own. This is how we advance, we give ourselves to the upper in other words.
49. S. (01:30:54) I heard that the more I advance towards the Creator my friends advance in my eyes too and if I lower the Creator so the friends are lower to shouldn't it be opposite that the greatness of the friends give me greatness of the Creator?
R. Yes, the greatness of the friends influences the greatness of the Creator. The Creator grows to the degree of how much I increase the importance of the friends in my eyes.
50. S. (01:31:32) What to work on first? The greatness of the friends are greatness of the Creator?
R. The greatness of the friends in my eyes.
51. S. (01:31:41) If in our constant Ten there's a central point where do we have the entire world vessel? Is it that same point like that constant Ten?
R. Yes, but the limits weren't properly aligned there which is why we didn't feel everybody as much, and as we come closer to the point of connection, the borders aren't as highlighted and then we are drawing more correctly.
52. S. (01:32:32) I heard the lesson is also a Congress. Can we sometimes do such exercises of mixing Tens during the morning lesson?
R. We will see it all depends on how much we advance.
53. S. (01:32:50) We are very grateful for the Congress and the Argentinian vessel that are huge friends and really we learned a lot and now I have a very big deficiency and this big deficiency I would like to share with my friends in the Ten. The question is how to work with this deficiency and how do we bestow to the friends so we can all advance?
R. Try to talk amongst yourself.
