Part 1:
The Ruin as an Opportunity for Correction - Selected Excerpts from the Sources. #17
1. Rav’s Introduction: The most important thing for us is to understand that each and every moment what we go through in our life in the process it's a developmental process and always every moment we go through states that the Creator had prepared for us in advance and He wants us to go through it and we in each and every moment need to scrutinize and account what do we want to get out of this moment how to use it correctly. So it's important for us to see all the states that we are going through, that these are states of destruction as it says here in the title the destruction, the ruin is an opportunity, a means for the revelation of the Creator. He shattered the vessel, and we have to go over all the forms of the shattering and from each one of them to see how we nevertheless aim ourselves and bring ourselves closer to the correct complete state and above this this is what Baal HaSulam is talking about.
Reading Excerpt #17: (01:58) “We lack nothing but to go out to a field that the Lord ...”
2. R. (02:57) Yes, this means that we each and every moment will try to see what the Creator had prepared for us, what do we feel at that moment in our life we will add to that feeling the understanding that this is coming to us from the shattering from the preparation that the Creator made on purpose. As he says here He prepared for us these flaccid organs which have come distanced disconnected from the single soul and those parts of the soul we now need to feel and as he says to collect them one by one into a single soul, a complete soul and then to the extent that we connect all these organs together into a single desire, into a single direction, a single intention, a single system then according to that we will also see how we are returning to this complete system gradually. Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya, Yechida, through all 125 degrees and the light fills the vessels that connect between them the desires that complete each other. That it all depends on the person who is asking as he says who is collecting all of those flaccid organs and he tries to put them together and also by a person doing this work inside of himself and also in that he does that in his group and this is how we should actually be in this work all the time, the work of the field, as it is called.
3. S. (05:19) So how then to correctly connect all those same flaccid organs, flaccid parts so that the Creator can fill them with light?
R. We will try as he tells us Rabash explains this more to us how we should be connected well Baal HaSulam also in Arvut in our connection each and every day they should be as new in your eyes so that you will distinguish that every moment you have a new desire a new intention you have something to correct something to overcome in to order to reach connection. In those states that you're going through you gradually find yourself that you become the master of the connection of the place, the common force and in this way in the connection with the friends you build a place for the revelation of the Creator. The words here won't help that much because they are well there's a little bit of words but many states and therefore we can't quite find the words here each time different words that will help us to express the new emotions different emotions but rather we need to try in the connection between us to search for and to find the common states.
S. You simply said in some moment that the connection between us begins to be filled with these lights Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, these are the words that the Kabbalist finds in their connection however in the meantime we use ordinary words, connection between the friends and such, so how can we too reach such high words and terms and such?
R. We will find these words, these words will awaken in us and we will discover what they are the moment that we will come closer to them in spirituality when you reach a certain state it could be a state that is completely new, it’s not understood, it's not felt but once you reach it it’s clear to you what it is and what it is called and you have no question it's not like in corporeality in spirituality it is revealed already with its inner content.
4. S. (08:49) Perhaps you already opened it up a bit but this excerpt, while the opening sentence is quite clear it's about us our work in the ten and looking for our points and make this body and then there's like a reaction from the Creator but then the last sentence each place in which you cast your eye, what is this place?
R. In each and every state through which you search for the Creator that you have between you and the Creator and image of reality and this image this picture should tie you to the Creator so if you look at this picture that you have before you that you’re in it, this scene, if you look at it and you want to find in it the operator of reality who is the one who is creating this scene, who is the one who is creating this theater then if you’re aimed toward Him then you gradually can reach a state where you discover Him, this is what we are actually looking for in the end.
5. S. (10:33) How by the forms of the shattering that a person encounters on the path he is like constantly rearranging himself towards the goal. What is this mechanism for rearranging himself?
R. It's everything that we have to do was already done as it is written “and you shall eat the bread of old” there is nothing new under the sun and all sorts of other similar excerpts and sentences we just have to try to connect together because for sure together means towards the correct form of the revelation of reality. We need in this togetherness to ask for the revelation of the Creator as the force that establishes for us and projects to us this whole reality and then it turns out that in such a way we reach a state called Israel, the light and the Creator are one. Israel or those people who are drawn to Yashar Kel, Orayta, the Torah, the light, meaning the connection between the vessels and the lights where we are the vessels and the lights come from the Creator and Kudsha Brich Hu, blessed be He, that’s the Creator Himself. So we need to try to connect these three components together and this is our work each and every moment as much as we are capable of. Of course in our degrees we are just beginning to try to connect to the whole of creation, to that same state that it was in before the shattering of Adam HaRishon, well, we will try, and we will succeed.
S. You said beforehand that we need to try to find common states, however different and everyone feels the path in a different manner. What does it mean, the friends in the ten find mutual common states?
R. Common states what does that mean the friends find common states? That they try to find themselves connected not that to each one the spiritual reality will be revealed to each one separately individually but rather they want to connect so that the upper reality will be revealed to all of them a common reality which is called Neshama the soul this is what we need, it's impossible that I think about spirituality where I am alone it's a contradiction so that I'm not thinking about spirituality but about something else spirituality means if we want to be together in a connection between us and so that between us all kinds of other forces and qualities will be revealed so that together out of that we will put together the new spiritual reality where we exist together and we feel the connection we feel Arvut and this will already be called Neshama, try to make this state tangible that certainly we can live in it we can exist in it and constantly feel ourselves there and in this way whole each one should hold the others we were given an opportunity and we are advancing in that and we are invited we are invited to approach it, the Creator is waiting for us to do it when we will be ready on our side and have a common vessel, it is all before us one step forward and we're already in that.
6. S. (15:46) What is man's work and the work of the group in the gathering of the flaccid organs, the work of man and the group?
R. Every person is an organ or a Sefirot from the ten Sefirot every person is an organ of that complete body which is the ten and this is how he should see himself that it is impossible that he will feel and if something as it is written that you have to reach a state where you are collecting the flaccid organs that have drooped from your soul which means that you were once connected in general you were connected with everyone each one with everyone but for the time being gradually you should connect with those who are before you don't think that it is by chance on your side it's a chance but from above there are no chances nothing is random everything is deterministic everything is certain it’s functioning like clockwork in a very precise manner and so if it happens, it happens but you shouldn't be concerned here or something that these are not my friends. I have others, maybe I should be in a different group, in a different state, it could be that such cases will happen as well on the path, but these are extremely rare cases. Therefore we need to see that we don't understand the friends we don't feel the friends. I am with some friends by chance, by chance I'm with them and seemingly there's nothing that I can do about it. I'm already registered together with them but in truth there are no cases, no chance and we have to accept whatever we have, whatever falls on us, that this is coming from the Creator and if there's a need to change it, He will change it and if not then I need to accept whatever there is and the most important thing for me is to find my connection with them a tight connection to be as one man and one heart.
S. So what here, is the group work and where is the private work of man here?
R. The group work is each one should help his friend and give you an example an awakening support it could be without any words just in thought even that I think about everyone I bless everyone I pray for everyone with that I begin my morning when I get up so first of all I bless the Creator who woke me up and He helps me to rise and to recover let’s say. Then I pray for the group for my soul because if I got up as a beast I'm not thinking I want to start thinking about the degree of Adam meaning I pray for my soul I pray to the Creator for my group the group is my soul.
S. And the private work of man what is it here?
R. This is individual work, what else do I have? Later on I start scrutinizing, what can I do, which actions, in speech and in action, in order to practically connect the entire group to connect with them and to raise, to rise together with them to a higher degree.
S. So sorry it's not simply understood then, what's the difference between the private work and the group work?
R. What you do is individual work, the fact that the whole group does that in agreement in advance this is group work, you don't have any work outside of the group, what work is there? Give me an example.
S. Not outside the group but seemingly maybe individual inner work, maybe the group work is more coming to expression externally?
R. One is connected with the other, one is connected with the other it's impossible that I'm performing some correction internally and this is not causing a change in the entire group there is no such thing. All of our states, all of our corrections, it's all connected, related, there's nothing that we can hide that we should hide, this is how it works, it's a wonder this system.
7. S. (22:00) Are there ways we can recognize or taste or have a look at what connection feels like when we're in the ten when we do our work in the ten?
R. Yes if you will think about it all the time and you will try to refine your emotions and to find a connection with the desires of the friends that are aimed toward the goal then you will quickly see how you can connect in these dispositions between you and become one and then it will be very easy for you to discover the spiritual space in which you will suddenly discover yourselves.
8. S. (23:20) What can I do in a state, that when I feel my desire for spirituality is taken from me and I feel like someone who is walking in the market?
R. The desire for spirituality never disappears, it is only covered by a greater broken desire this is how you walk on two legs left right left right and if you were in a feeling of spirituality and a greater disposition for spirituality and if you used it in some way so now you have the left leg meaning a greater will to receive. That you will have to rise above it so don't be alarmed by the fact that now you lost the desire it didn't disappear about this it says you're always elevated in holiness you are never lowered in holiness which means you are advancing each and every time but you think that you're moving away, as Baal HaSulam writes to us that, God forbid, not think that you're distancing from sanctity. There is no such thing but rather each time they’re promoting you it's just that it's not on the right it's on the left but they’re raising your desire, the greater desire for corporeality for rest for meals or maybe having some fun time, I don't know each and every thing. There are such times when a person suddenly feels that he doesn't want anything besides watching some stupid movie or simply not to do anything there are such times there are I can see according to your face that you agree with me so there are a few pieces of advice for that. If you cannot overcome that then don't resist it too much don't resist it too much, just see how it is going how it is passing by just flow along with it somehow, and bit by bit during these times it is best if you become incorporated in the environment in the society in the group and whatever they do you should also do it. It's best if during such times you will find for yourself some work dissemination translation that helps a lot, that helps a lot. I, during such times actually wrote my first books and that held me and actually it held me in a good way. I felt an awakening because I was dead, so search.
S. It feels that but they don't let a person to stay in Katnut, I was cool everything was good I had yearning for spirituality but it is broken from above and when I lost this desire then it's even hard to take part and dissemination in morning lessons even in a ten meeting, I can't watch a stupid movie rather than getting it to the ten and all those discussions. So how to take action if there's no desire, how to pull yourself?
R. This is true, but we forcefully enter some work in the ten, some superficial work that's not related to connection which rejects you very much or to the study that rejects you but something peripheral. You will see how bit by bit you will, well, the most important is to lose as little as possible to lose your connection with the friends as little as possible to lose your connection because this is what will bring you back nevertheless you are with them in a single boat and also there is none as wise as the experienced one, it's all ahead of you.
9. S. (28:43) Is there some sign that shows that the ten is connecting in the correct manner and rising to a higher state?
R. I didn't understand that, can you please repeat.
S. Is there some mechanism which shows that the ten is acting in the right way and rising to the higher degree?
R. It’s in their feeling of how much they are connected between them there's nothing else that they need to check as much as they are feel themselves closer more in common that they’re operating maybe each one in his place like in a boat but all towards a single goal each one is holding the other caring for the other they have between them something it’s like in a family that is very important this feeling of a family, the group, as a family it is something that is very important, it's very close to each one. Each one can understand what it is, and each one can somehow hold onto it and also the concern for the friends should be like the concern for the family, for the children, these are the organs of my soul. All of the friends that don't yet feel it, I look at each and every face and I don't feel in these faces, something that is close to me and also their inclinations and their behavior looks to me as something that is odd, strange, far away, something that I don't accept. However I need to look through that in a transparent manner to look at each one and see that each inside of him there is a part of my soul egotistically. I can look at him this way and this part is something that I need this is what I have to connect to and all of the rest I don't know what form it will have in the connection but his inclination to reach the purpose of creation, the Creator, the end of correction, even the end of correction even in each and every degree there is something from the end of correction, so to this local end of correction, this is where we connect.
10. S. (31:42) There is a sentence that there was no joy but rather the sorrows helped us and if the Creator created this entire world with so much evil and that we are egoistic desires, then why are we afraid in our private fear when we truly have such a huge society, thousands of people in Bnei Baruch with one intention we need, I guess not even to ask questions of what to do and how to do, rather each one can simply connect between us and to really feel the only method in which we can work for us but the true form won’t be in work like connection do I understand it correctly?
R. You're thinking correctly you understand correctly however try to implement it in practice and then you can tell us how it worked out, the words are beautiful, but can we implement them so easily if it will work out for you then tell us about it and explain to us how you did it okay, good luck.
11. S. (33:25) We are years returning over those same external actions, what do you recommend for each one that each of us how to prepare, to come to the same action as you give us an example, every day every morning lesson to come with a new excitement. How to prepare like you and to come with this excitement?
R. I try each and every day to reveal a new corrupted desire which hasn't yet surfaced in me, and it wasn't corrected and from this desire I turn to you, and I want that this desire will be corrected will be revealed and in it the Creator will be revealed. In this way we will all connect together in our corrupted desires which today have an opportunity to reach connection that is correction, and this is what I do. I get up just like you I wake up like you before the lesson well at least an hour before the lesson I'm already in my internal awakening and therefore when I come to you I’m ready but when I get up I get up just like all of you and the more you advance you will see that you will have the feeling of getting up from the sleep. It won’t be more difficult but more heavy, you will be further away from spirituality, and you will require efforts in order to awaken yourself, well there are times that are this way or that way.
S. There are states that we wake up in the morning lesson as you said, heavy and there are states where we wake up in the morning burning. To what extent is it dependent on preparation?
R. Well it does depend on preparation on the one hand on the other hand we need to understand that it always come nevertheless with a decision from above, the Creator determines what state you’ll get up in, with preparation or without preparation I mean we do have to do a preparation, that’s for sure, but what we get up with this we should already understand that here there is the participation of the upper force.
12. S. (36:37) I see that the friends are expressing their states that they don’t feel a desire for spirituality, and you said this is advancement on the left line, so if the ten, those are the organs of my soul, is it through my efforts or parts of my soul?
R. It’s not so important also left line that we awaken, I see lately that you are looking for some more precise definitions and that’s incorrect, you’ll advance first in sensation and then you’ll understand it in your mind so scrutinize more.
13. S. (37:37) The work on connection between us corrects the broken intention, but what is a strong desire relative to strong desire, a great desire compared to a small desire, where does the desire acquire its power, its intensity?
R. Within this, that you think, scrutinize, connect to the friends, take from them the intensity, the force of connection and such you advance.
S. We say many times that the Creator increases the will to receive from one state to the next He increases the will to receive.
R. Yes, if needed He does it.
S. What is the desire that grows, what is that? It’s not one kilogram or two kilogram of desire or three kilograms of desire.
R. Yes, yes, desire is measured in kilograms, what do you want in newtons, in meters, what?
S. I can actually feel the intention that is becoming corrected but the desire that grows I don't feel that the desire grows.
R. We always measure the desire in force in power how much the assistance of this desire we can perform some action the desire that we see in spirituality is a desire against the desire a desire above the desire that I have a desire as usual the egoistic one as much as I have a desire that spiritual that’s seemingly spiritual that I can with this spiritual desire I can overcome the corporeal desire, it's a force yes the desire is a force.
Reading Excerpt #18: (39:36) “Everything in reality good or bad...” Twice.
14. R. (40:50) Meaning all ticks, precisely like a clock in a precise manner a deterministic manner that all that needs to happen will occur and we need only upon this to determine our correct attitude to what is occurring but in our attitude, more correctly, less correctly, we are actually seeing the world. Through this we see it's changing and what for, more good or bad, this we see through our attitude it's like a filter through which we judge and determine and feel the reality. Very strong excerpt in a very clear attitude that we need to determine towards our whole life, our entire life.
15. S. (43:07) You say that this entire system is deterministic and precise everything is ticking like clockwork each and every state, what else do we have to do? We have to determine in each state that is revealed, what is the first state, the first action that we need to determine?
R. In sum total we are correcting only our attitude and according to the correction of our attitude towards the reality that is revealed, in this we feel that we are changing, that the world is changing but it's all only according to our attitude to what is revealed in us, before us. Well, before us there's not so much to be revealed but these are the ordinary things from the external world. The main thing is what passes through us, within man, how his attitude is towards the group, towards that general reality, towards his life, is he is capable of filling his entire life with the Upper force that does everything, changes everything.. That he, with his friends, together, they make the effort to accept the Creator as such that is operating within them, that we connect between us, the friends, and feel that the Creator is within us and a tendency to this, we live as such. That's our truth and our life and outside of this, then we feel this mechanical life, yes, in which we need also to exist and something and also and something to operate to act but the main thing of this work is how we hold between us the Creator that holds us, connects us, us together with him and state-to-state that's how we advance.
S. State-to-state can we say that the first action is first of all to ascribe the state to the operator, to the Upper force is the first action?
R. Yes, the first action is that I return to a state that there is None Else Beside Him and from within there is None Else Beside Him I am still tied to that, the other None Else Beside Him, this is how I already reached the ten and from the ten I return to there is None Else Besides Him and such by the group and the Creator, all the time, I scrutinized each and every state.
S. You said before that the Creator is giving us an opportunity now that we are invited to him, what is the opportunity we have before us now?
R. That in our connection to hold a Creator to such an extent that we will feel that he is managing us, and we connect between us and with him such that we feel all his actions upon us.
16. S. (46:44) In this excerpt Baal HaSulam writes that all the negative, most negative things, that happen in the world we should not destroy them but rather to see that they were sent to us by the Creator and each and every day we see more and more negation, negativity, evil, so what kind of connection do we have to reach in order to see all of these negative things as such that they are sent to us by the Creator?
R. The main thing in our work first is subjugation, that we lower our head and accept everything that is occurring in order to advance us towards the goal, that surely we are making a step towards the goal but know where our correction is. How do we accept the step in a good manner or in a bad way and here we need to reach our correction in order to agree that what is occurring, is occurring from the side of the Creator in a good manner, all for the good. In this a person lowers his ego, lowers his head in such a manner he advances towards the friends. Along with them towards the Creator we have no choice, we need to neutralize our ego, to neuter it in such a manner, that this ego will be beneath us and from this moment onward, would begin to work, to walk towards the intention to bestow.
S. In addition Baal HaSulam writes in this excerpt that all the most negative things in the world, the worst things in the world will not be canceled, we should not eradicate them, do I understand correctly that until the end of correction until the very final degree 125 the flaw of this negative things will remain and what will change is only our relation to it, our attitude and this is what will bring us closer to the Creator?
R. Yes.
17. S. (49:53) You mentioned at the beginning of the lesson. How can we take this step in front of us right now?
R. The next step before us, only in greater connection, that's called the next step, from the Creator there is no first, second, third step, but the Creator is making his steps according to how we are capable to receive His coming near. This is all dependent on the connection between us, to the extent of the connection between us. On this it's written the upper light is in complete rest and all is dependent on the vessels.
18. S. (50:58) We were angry at ourselves in the ten, at our will to receive, by this we actually slander the Creator?
R. Of course, of course, we're not allowed to curse the evil inclination, it is written the Creator created the evil inclination, it's written there was no joy before him as the day the heaven and the earth were created. That there are these two opposing forces and between them can be Adam, man, the created being that will resemble the Creator. So it's truly the whole, large, beautiful creation that by which the created being can grow till the degree of the Creator and not to think that the evil inclination is created by accident, too bad it was made at all? Without it we can't resemble the Creator, the evil inclination helps us more than the good inclination to advance, we need to understand why our ego is so strong, so disturbing us all the time. It's because it builds in us all the steps, all the inner organs, all the states, thoughts, desires, everything comes from him, and we need patiently to relate to everything that we are going through. Not to be too impressed or pray that the wicked shall die, what's written, that all the egoistic forces, egoistic thoughts, that they shall die, no, it is written that they shall repent ...they should have the intention to bestow.
19. S. (53:14) If we carry out that first action to ascribe everything to the Creator the emotional response and the correct attitude is always joy, right?
R. Joy needs to be in any case, in every case, from one end to the other because there is nothing that is unnecessary or superfluous and all advances us to correction.
S. So whether it's bad or good for me I feel joy to the same extent because I understand the good or bad is not really, it doesn't really exist, let's put it this way?
R. These are calculations you make but truly there is no evil in the world, besides that what we feel bad, advances us to the goal more than the good sensation, for our ego to feel good it's not healthy. So we immediately begin, how to say, well to, that we don't want to work, I don't want to do anything, to idle, to be idle, these things are not good, if we want to advance man and it's only by blows and pressures.
S. As feared eventually we use what is called bad or good at these are just tools, vessels, we used to advance?
R. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
20. S. (55:00) To continue what we said about seeing every state as perfect, sometimes our friends go through all kinds of unpleasant states in their family and their health, this could cause her friends to have a low spirit and a descent, clearly our prayer should be the first should be ascribing it to the Creator and the question is how externally should we turn to him, what should we tell him?
R. This we need that there shall be a group in each ten, some person that is responsible for such states that occur in each family, that this person should arrange these matters. He can approach the friend and talk to him and afterwards come back and talk to the ten and speak with a few more friends or with all the friends together. It needs to be somebody that's his role, there not each and every one that will be suitable for this.
S. If a friend goes through a certain state, is it not worthwhile that everyone will talk to him, it's better that one person will do it?
R. Yes and you need in some cases that the whole group can hug him, that same friend and talk to him, but you need to see it's not so simple, the main thing is to approach it gently.
S. When we approach a friend that is in distress, if we get a chance to speak to such a friend that's right now in the unpleasant situation ,should we remind him to ascribe everything to the Creator or it's better not to talk about it, just to encourage him, try to encourage him?
R. It's also a matter of how you can give some advice on this, every state you have to judge on its own. I can't tell you, you need to discuss it, debate it, there are people who are capable of this, and they should act.
21. S. (57:24) Can we say that we can only get awakening from above as much as we give awakening to others for the Creator?
R. Yes and no, I know you could say it belongs to another, one another but not that it specifically determines, there are other things that belong to that.
Reading Excerpt #19: (58:17) “There are two authorities that act on ...”
22. S. (01:01:10) Is there a possibility even to know in our effort whether we are truly reaching the authority of the earth?
R. This you are correct, the question is correct, good. In how much do we take, maybe we've already taken the process of development in our hands and can direct it and hasten it. That depends to what extent we feel the intensity of our connection, the result of the connection between us. If when we connect we feel acceleration in our development or not, that depends on our sensation, how we form ourselves, establish ourselves, it's impossible to measure this with some external device or instrument but to measure it in our sensations it is possible.
S. Is suffering an indication in this?
R. Suffering an indication?
S. Indication of suffering?
R. No, it depends on what you're suffering from, are you suffering along with the friends, for what, how, just suffering that word doesn't mean anything.
S. Suffering because of lack of connection.
R. Suffering because of lack of connection, that's already a big thing, yes.
23. S. (01:03:11) The excerpt we read now speaks about two ways in its time, in the way of the land, where is the path of hastening?
R. The path to hastening is only in the extent of the connection between the friends, the force, that they are going and breaking all the barriers between them in their hearts and make the effort to connect to one desire, directed to the goal. That the goal is to be connected in order in this, to cause contentment to the Creator. If you have such an intention, if you establish this intention each and every moment as much as possible and more you return to it, at least sometimes, once in a while, then you advance accordingly you can measure how much they're advancing.
24. S. (01:04:50) Can we ask about the previous excerpt?
R. Just speak clearly.
S. It says in the previous excerpt that we have to understand and be very careful when casting a flaw in any element of creation, is this something we can also do it in the ten, to implement this?
R. No that's not really for us, but here there should be such an attitude that nothing is coincidental or has no purpose or reason that we can just look down on it and just passed by it, rather everything happens in a deterministic manner, meaning everything is predetermined from the beginning to the end, pre-calculated.
25. S. (01:05:50) When we read about the authority of the Earth, the government of the earth, does it mean those people who are actually rulers or those people who control their will to receive?
R. No, we are not taking into calculation those corporeal leaders in the world, no. We have no calculation, there is only the calculation of how much the human being wants to be closer to the Creator then they make the effort to be closer and in this they will advance to corrections. From above they descend on us with all sorts of forms and forces that they advance us either Creator or the group in short.
S. That person who runs away from the development through the path of suffering and he chooses the good way, the hastening, does that come out of his will to receive?
R. Of course that results from his will to receive, meaning how the Creator activates him.
Reading Excerpt # 20 (01:07:21) “the will to receive for oneself in us …”
26. S. (01:09:50) Sometimes I feel that I have no desire for spirituality but also not for corporeality and I feel like I have nowhere to go. What's the right way to cope with such a situation?
R. The correct way only to incorporate in the society. To receive forces we can only from the Creator or the society and then turn to them.
27. S. (01:10:45) If I see complete evil what is my practical work to correct it?
R. By this, that I pray and request that I will see that this evil exists in me and outside of me, there is no evil and if I will correct myself then I will see the world is entirely good.
28. S. (01:11:25) What does it mean that the Creator is holding us connected?
R. In the extent that we want to reach connection, the Creator helps us.
29. S. (01:11:39) How can we unite in the ten, into a single complex and at the same time remain so different in our views and sensations?
R. It's not important in what thoughts or tendencies, different ones that we're in, the main thing for us is that all of us need to reach one goal and to reach it we can only under the condition that we will feel ourselves in one boat, like the Ark of Noah and only in such a way do we reach the goal.
30. S. (01:12:30) I heard that each and every time the Creator raises the will to receive if necessary so when is it necessary and when is it not necessary?
R. That doesn't depend on us, in any case we have a new will to receive and in what quantity and quality, we do not determine, rather it determines how much it will work with our entire Kli and our ten and how much we want to get closer to them and accordingly the will to receive is revealed and then we advance in and it's correct usage.
31. S. (01:13:14) Why does dissemination help us so much in times of distancing, what is in that and dissemination that is not and other actions?
R. I received through those same people that I disseminate to, the upper force that the Creator is in all of them in the divinity, Shechina. When I advance them to the Creator in this I am doing great and good work. That gives pleasure for the Creator because He wants to be revealed to all humankind and in this I am doing good things for everyone and also for me.
32. S. (01:14:09) How to be in joy with the state of the world that are revealed when I feel that great concern for the next generation and therefore their future?
R. No, we need to be not in happiness and that we see bad things in the world and people are suffering. It's written about this 'don't distance yourself from the public that we need to suffer with all the people of the world and to pray for them and to make an effort to reach corrections as fast as possible and also that there will be revelation of the Creator to the created beings more quickly. We cannot leave the world as it is, rather the opposite, to correct ourselves as fast as possible in order that there should be good for the whole world. Thus each time that there is evil revealed in the world we need to truly pray that this will pass quickly, all the wars and all the problems of the world.
33. S. (01:15:25) What does it mean to take the law of development into our own hands?
R. That we accelerate the correction and not that the Creator obligates us to hasten the correction.
34. S. (01:15:42) How can we resist the revelation of separation in the group?
R. By connecting the siding, determining various states that we would like to act through each and every moment, by that we determine our future states that we will not go through them in a descent, in a fall. We have to decide on what kinds of connections and actions. There will not be any place for the Creator to awaken us in a negative way.
35. S. (01:16:26) With what deeds should we build the governance of the land in the ten?
R. Actions of connection, what else can you do? Connection, study, participation, dissemination, that's what we have to do. This is called the governance of the land, we ourselves want to advance and that's why we do such actions.
36. S. (01:17:13) At the end of every lesson we do a common prayer in the ten and the part of gratitude is very easy after the lesson there is great wholeness and perfection after the lesson but then there's the precision and the prayer, and the request and it's always more difficult, why is it more difficult to awaken the precise deficiency compared to being thankful for perfection?
R. After the lesson you are coming out both with the request and with gratitude and you're relatively full. It's hard for you to uncover additional desires and intentions, yearning, thoughts that are empty, so it's a problem. Our lesson in and of itself is a prayer. We now finished a special topic and the correction we talked a lot about and by that each one raises his request. Like it or not he actually expresses it so what else is there to pray for afterwards. Our study by itself is a form of prayer.
S. What would you advise us to do in such a situation?
R. I would advise you but I'm afraid of advising you because it might contribute to some weakness, but I would go over, you have to see so it doesn't weaken people, I don't know, you decide. You can read Psalms; this is always helpful. You should select a few chapters that are close to us. You shouldn't read articles by Baal HaSulam or Rabash because we are already immersed in them during the lesson. That would be an overload, and it will leave you even emptier. Psalms are a continuation of the prayer. That's the correct prayer, and if you can read psalms I think it's a good thing.
37. S. (01:20:07) We already went through afternoon lessons. In the afternoon lessons there's a certain different dynamic than there is in the morning lesson. How do you feel it, how do you see it developing?
R. I don't know. I'm going according to how I feel in society and the environment. The people who are in the lesson. I'm still not certain. I'm looking, it is still not clear how to behave, what to study, how to study. You need to be actively participating in this otherwise we'll do it just like a morning lesson. You see, some excerpts and I explain them, and you asked questions and that's how it's unfolding. Maybe we have to do it a different way. Maybe read letters from Rabash or Baal HaSulam. We need to do something different than the morning lesson, something different. Advise me about what to do.
S. Different in terms of the contents are also the style?
R. The style and the content. I am ready for everything as long as it's interesting and it adds to us. Please write to me about it and we will change it accordingly.
