Part 1:
All Your Actions Will be for the Sake of the Creator - Selected Excerpts from the Sources. #9

1. Rav’s Introduction: (00:35) We were born with a desire to do all of our actions only for our will to receive which determines everything, fills us, surrounds us from every direction and we simply without understanding, without even noticing we follow it because it is the only operator who is in us and this is how it turns us in every way. This is why we think it is our nature and we are used to it and this is how we live. When we through, when the point in the heart awakens in us, we begin to feel ourselves not so comfortable in this reality of what is called in order to receive and then we somehow are directed in a different direction, which is already in order to bestow and not to receive only as is the drive or inclination in us from birth. By going under the force of bestowal we have all kinds of unpleasant states that we are not used to and then we come to a place where there is a source for the wisdom of Kabbalah and we gradually begin to understand that what we are taught here is to shift, to transition into a new universe into something that doesn't exist in our world.

It is as if we are entering a different bubble of where the reality there is only the upper force, the Creator and we need to understand, think and accept this system that works entirely on the force of bestowal. It's not very clear, we don't understand why, what for and how and afterwards we learn that this is called Lishma [for her sake], where instead of adhering to the force of reception that we were born in and that we obey its orders, we need to transition into the authority of the force of bestowal and that authority can only be on condition or to the extent that we decide, understand, feel and do actions in order to be under the control of the force of bestowal and this is called shifting to Lishma.

It is a lot like entering a new world, a new galaxy and in this the group can help us because if we organize it correctly then this is the environment where we seemingly move into a new area, a new state that exists in reality. In this reality we need to understand that in order to feel the reality, in order to establish ourselves in it and find our way in it become oriented then we have to do the same with all the friends in the ten. We need to come closer to them emotionally, to be in one heart, meaning in one desire, as much as possible to be in mutual bestowal and day after day to process the new state and accordingly we will feel that there is indeed an upper world and we can rise and enter it. This is the purpose of studying the wisdom of Kabbalah which elevates us from the lower world to the upper world. There is also, as we learn and feel along the way, there are all kinds of degrees and worlds in those two states in order to receive, the lower world and in order to bestow, the upper world but the fact that we have to make efforts here is clear to us because we have to acquire a new force, a new desire, new intentions, new values. This is what the wisdom of Kabbalah gives us, helps us, tends to us, takes care of us. Let's read. All your actions will be for the sake of Heaven, meaning not for the will to receive who is called the Earth that we were born in but for the sake of Heaven, for the desire to bestow. Please.

Reading Excerpt #9 (08:28) “One must do every possible thing…”

2. R. (11:07) In other words we need to understand, feel, live our desire, our present desire. How much it manipulates us into all kinds of places where we imagine that we can reveal receive satisfactions which are called pleasure and change it for a desire for connection, a desire to bestow and then we want to be incorporated in the right environment in order to bestow upon them and by this become similar, begin to become similar to the Creator by trying, by making efforts to bestow up on the friends. This is basically the process that we need to go through, accordingly we will also feel how we shift from thoughts, intentions and desires of reception into bestowal and this will be to us a good lesson so we can establish ourselves in both the world of reception and the world of bestowal. God created them one opposite the other, so we will have in this directions or directives and states so we will know how to try to use both the force of reception and the force of bestowal in a way that we maintain our situation of disconnection or moving away from the force of reception which is imprinted in us at birth and come to the force of bestowal. Gradually try, here and there, to create relationships of bestowal and then we will understand how we enter into them. And in this way we begin to exist in new relationships, new conditions.

3. S. (14:30) Baal HaSulam warns that we have to put the desire to receive to death but how to truly take the decision to truly put my will to receive to death, how to make this decision?

R. So the question is how do I do it?

S. How do I take such a decision? It says that you have to agree to put the desire to receive to death. How to agree with such a decision?

R. A person begins to feel that he has an inclination toward it, a tendency towards it and a tendency toward it is called the point in the heart. In each and every one of us, since the breaking of the common vessel of Adam HaRishon, we have within our different desires to receive, we also have a point of a desire to bestow, it is called a tiny spark, a tiny Reshimo but it exists in each and every one. There are bigger Reshimot, smaller Reshimot and it awakens in a person under certain conditions that he experiences in his life in this world. It may happen to someone 2000 years ago, it may happen to someone else in a few more years in all kinds of ways, under external conditions, a special awakening but each one in the end will receive this awakening and come to a state, as it is written, “And they will all know Me from the least of them to the greatest of them, and My house shall be called the house of prayer to all the nations.” Meaning all the desires that operate in every single person will eventually be directed toward the intention to bestow; the aim to bestow.

S. What does it mean to put the intention to receive to death?

R. We don't use the will to receive and want to opposite that, use the will to bestow, so what we don't use is regarded as dead?

S. The only means we can not use it so what we can focus on something else, on the friends is this the only means to concentrate on the friends instead of on myself?

R. Yes, yes. We can focus on the desire for connection between us on condition that we are in a group that supports connection and each friend awakens all the other friends to need to join the common force of connection by this we influence all the friends, all the individuals in the group and by this we help each other emerge from the will to receive and enter the will to bestow, through examples, through support, through awakening and besides we need to understand that if we connect it into a ten, then it wasn't really our choice, although it seems to us like we choose and we come it, no, it is how we are directed from above and we came to a state where we suddenly feel ourselves close to each other and this is how we will advance.

S. The emphasis on the work should be in the common connection or the success of the friends?

R. The success of the friends in the ten first of all. We have to come to a state where there is a ten and a person he is concerned about everyone being as connected as possible, united in this group and that his concern will be specifically about this because by this he builds the vessel for the revelation of the Creator. Meaning all of his spiritual future he will receive it specifically in this, to the extent that they are connected, to the extent that they are joined together. This is what will help him begin to feel another world. It's like emerging from our universe into a different universe. So all this can be done only by trying to find, to develop in the group this common force.

S. We just had Passover, many guests, I also stayed here for a month. It turns out that the true work is not the common connection but to actually gauge, engage in, advance in your ten?

R. This is the first stage in the real work after you have a feeling that you are connected with the friends into one structure, one group, after that you can, with this whole group bestow upon others who are also doing the same work at the same time so you will connect with them, groups and groups and groups until you build a big society that contains within it many tens. We also learn it in the Torah. Therefore we have no choice. Only in this way we realize the connection between people, between their desires and their inclination to the Creator where basically our goal, the goal of all of us, is to unite in the Creator, each and every ten, later when it makes of itself one structure, it helps the other tens and all of us together are drawn to our common source which is the Creator and this is how we begin to return to the structure that existed before the Sin of the Tree of Knowledge.

4. S. (23:58) How do I find my spiritual role in the ten in order to serve my friends? I feel I have such importance of the goal I don't know how to serve them?

R. We need only to see how much we can become more adhered into one structure between us and that the Creator can be revealed in the connection between us, meaning that the connection between us will be in a truly spiritual manner, meaning bestowal, connection, love, unity and then if we are drawn toward it, give each other examples, first of all it has to be consistent, consistent, I don't miss anything I am always where I should be, where the group tells me, I try to be at the center. It's not like I don't make room for everyone by this but I try to be at the center of events, the center of the activities of the ten. In this way I set an example and I give the ten the power to coagulate, to become more and more solidified. And the first feeling that the Creator is with us in the ten even without connection with other tens yet. But as soon as we have this small structure of ten pieces, then we will already begin to feel that in the structure there is a spiritual force, mutual bestowal, mutual support, mutual concern. That will allow us to gradually feel the image of the Creator which is that form that we want it to live between us, to be in us, so that form will be the Creator.

S. In the transition that you mentioned into a new galaxy, to a new world, what passes from me from the ten? What part from us passes from one world to another?

R. When I begin to look at the present reality as a means to achieve bestowal upon the friends, to connect them, to reveal within them between us our source; the upper force.

S. In this new world, the spiritual world, it will still be but it is already a different entity. What will be there?

R. No, all of our forces as much as we can bestow and be connected between us, all of these forces will be revealed there and we will feel ourselves in this way. For now that's it. You don't discover anything the way you discover in this world, all kinds of shapes and materials, no.

S. In what does it clothe?

R. It clothes in the old egoistic desire and image and comes out of it, emerges from it.

5. S. (28:55) The transition to Lishma: this transition we make it happen for one another or each one from his efforts goes to Lishma?

R. We make some, we create a field that is called “a field that the Lord has blessed” by being connected and wanting to sustain each other, to keep each other and we understand that our future is happening only in the connection between us and in this way, in this connection we gradually discover the force of bestowal on our part and in it we gradually design the image of the force of bestowal as if we build it, as if we make it; which is the Creator.

S. When the ten works on the connection inside of it and begins to work in this field, what does it mean now that we begin to go to Lishma? To transition to Lishma?

R. That we are ready to disconnect from the old calculations and make a calculation that is only in order to bestow. I don't know, I don't have any other words.

S. How does each one take the other one to Lishma?

R. What each one does inside we normally don't talk about. But what we do externally, supporting each other, this we do show each other.

S. From my externality to support each other to keep the lifestyle of the ten but I heard you say a few times already that each one needs to push the others into Lishma?

R. To set an example of being drawn toward Lishma.

S. But ultimately the Lishma of the friend depends upon me or is this his work?

R. In the end Lishma depends on the general efforts. You can't make it alone. It needs at least two but the ideal number is ten.

S. This common effort that we are putting in, does this effort advance us to Lishma? How do we take this effort for the sake of entering Lishma?

R. That we all want to come to be together in mutual support and in bestowal and from the connection between us to the Creator.

6. S. (32:42) We can meet in the day, read articles, meet on Zoom, do all kinds of things, these are external actions, they are external though?

R. All means they are external but in the meantime we always have these. We have to have these activities but the question is what intention, what goal we want to add to it.

S. So what is the inner effort, this interaction that needs to be between us in order to come out to Lishma?

R. Let's say we are ten different, egoistic people, far from each other internally but we do want to be connected “as one man, with one heart” and to the same goal where we are all becoming as one and in the meantime each of us is in the nature he was born in.

S. What will give me the intention of Lishma?

R. The intention itself comes through the reforming light but the push to being in the intention to bestow comes to us first of all from our spiritual Reshimo, let's call it the spiritual genome, let's call it the point in the heart, it doesn't matter what you call it. When we work on it, we try to be as connected as possible in order to come closer to common bestowal where we discover the place, the source of this force of commonality which is the Creator.

7. S. (35:00) Is the new perception of reality something that will scare us and should we be worried about accepting this new picture of reality or be afraid of it?

R. Afraid there is nothing to fear here. It's just an addition, a good addition of force, a good force, a force of connection, bestowal, love; there is nothing to be afraid of from spirituality.

8. S. (35:30) Was the world created with the force of reception and the general system controlling the world is its reflection? How will the study change this and how can we find hope that this change will take place and move us from reception to bestowal?

R. Our world was created from the material of the will to receive but what governs it, manages it, leads it is the force of bestowal. This is why there are two forces in our world, now two, two forces. Even the egoistic form of existence, we exist in a world that consists of, is built from, two forces. With one force it couldn't exist. One force is either the Creator and you also can't say that it is the Creator because with respect to whom, that's one force. The other force is the will to receive, so it is the force of the created being which also cannot be if the force of the Creator doesn't sustain it and develop it. This is why the world was created and contains two forces.

9. S. (37:02) What should be the yearning of the ten, the tendency of the heart of the ten so that the light will work?

R. We need by ourselves with our zero power to try as if we are drawn toward bestowal. We need to set an example of it, to show a desire like a baby who wants something but its desire gradually develops it because the forces go toward it.

S. What does it mean as if to want bestowal?

R. As if to want bestowal?

S. How do I make this action of subjugation?

R. Those who come to the wisdom of Kabbalah usually, some come by mistake but those who come to the wisdom of Kabbalah, it is a sign that he already has a point in the heart which is connection, with the force of bestowal with the Creator. So he's not simply managed by the upper force like the rest of the still, vegetative, animate and speaking but rather he is managed, governed toward a spiritual goal to bring him to develop and in the degrees of development he should enter a group and study and this is how such people come to connection. There are many kinds among them, some are more internal and care only about developing the point in the heart and the connection with the Creator, some settle along the way, settle for all kinds of more superficial actions.

10. S. (39:30) You spoke about our measly powers and here it also says that the organs do not agree with the opinion, so what will be?

R. If we connect it is no longer zero, you have a ten who connect or even two that connect and already we have some identity, some personality and then because these two have within them contradictory forces and similar forces they already begin to build between them some sort of mini relationship that can be developed and this is how they develop from this all of nature develops. That's it. So first of all we need to understand that development can only be in plural, in many and many are at least two but we are already connected to more; 6, 7, 8, 10.

S. If a person feels that he is completely materialized, what is he bringing to this connection?

R. Whatever he has it's not important. He is part of Adam HaRishon and he has a Reshimo from Adam HaRishon and therefore, he has a place that there is no one without a place there because what’s in him comes to him from his structure, from the structure of the general soul called Adam HaRishon.

11. S. (41:38) You said that each one has a place in this common soul?

R. Otherwise how can you exist, everyone?

S. To what in me is there a place to the way I am with my will to receive, to this thing called the point in the heart?

R. You have a place in the desire that the Creator has created at the very beginning and in this desire you have a point, your own Reshimo and this piece of data which is you, you have to develop it and you lack nothing in this development except to connect with the rest of the other points in that general desire and when you develop these connections you develop your self, you develop others and eventually there's a system, a great system called the system of the soul.

S. My will to receive which according to this excerpt I have to put it to death it has no place in this depiction or does it have a place?

R. Of course there is. The will to receive it does not disappear, it doesn't run away, it doesn't do anything. We simply stop using it and later we turn it into in order to bestow.

S. What does it mean to stop using the will to receive? How can I stop using my will to receive?

R. If I see that it is not in my best interest, that it is bad for me then even that general will to receive that I have, helps me not to use that data that I receive or that parameter that I receive from birth in my will to receive.

12. S. (44:01) You are talking about a journey from universe to universe. What approach should we adopt in the ten, like a spiritual adventure or is it coming like an exercise like an ox and a donkey?

R. No, no, we can truly imagine it like a transition from one universe to another because there are truly new laws and new conditions where all of us together are seemingly entering this spaceship, which is the group. We build this spaceship and we take ourselves to an entirely new conditions and a new galaxy.

13. S (45:05) You said in the beginning of your words that we have to organize the ten each time to a new state, to process the new state and accordingly become organized. What does it mean to process the new state every time because every day we have a new state. We are a ten in motion. We are making efforts to connect. We get all kinds of states, each friend, so what does it mean to process this situation every time anew?

R. To process the state is to accept the state. We need to see how much today, the way I view the ten, how I participated in, and how I'm different than yesterday. How the ten is in my eyes, that like that, that is actually the force of movement, of motion.

S. I want to know practically if we do more exercises of connection in the ten and bring up the friends' deficiencies and bring them into a common prayer, is this part of processing the new state?

R. I don't know what it means to process and adjust the states we're not doing that. We are going to reach connection in which the Creator will be revealed and we will see Him as our leader.

14. S. (46:57) In the excerpt there's a transition from a prayer that we do into pouring his heart out to the Creator. What is this transition that happens among the friends in the ten?

R. When the ten gives forces to be in connection, it feels that it cannot attain a state where it is connected or unified as truly “as one man, with one heart.” If it doesn't bother most of them, if it doesn't bother most of them, then they feel that that’s how it should be along the way and they remain in that state but if they cannot agree with it, then they begin to turn to the Creator to their source and here the work becomes more serious.

15. S. (48:15) You said that we have to aim to connect the points. What is the connection between the points?

R. I don't know what you are talking about.

S. We connect only the points in the heart upon the will to receive?

R. Yes, that's what we need to connect all of our personal inclinations together into one point.

S. Connect all of our tendencies to connection together?

R. Yes, to the Creator

16. S. (49:00) On what does the ability not to separate from the ten even when you're not with them, on what does it depend on? What is the ability of a person not to separate from the ten depend even if he's not in the activities that were set for a certain time?

R. I don't know what to tell you. Listen, I live from lesson to lesson, from talk to talk. Even today I have a few interviews with people. That is how I fill my day. This is how I fill my calendar let’s say but besides that I check myself, how much the disturbances and the thoughts are more advanced.

S. With what do we fill up the times between the lessons, between the meetings? How do you fill that? How do you fill this with that field that the ten builds?

R. I can't say. Each one has to choose what he is lacking, where is his heart, how is his heart inclined. I cannot answer in a way that will suit each and everyone.

17. S. (50:58) Since we want that Lishma will govern everything, do we need to put to death our desire to receive or do we need to put efforts to love the desire to receive in others?

R. We need both. You cannot have one without the other. I cannot love the friends if I continue to love myself. I need to use my will to receive in order to be connected with a friend and help him advance and he should do the same for me. Then all of us, everyone and everyone and in this way we build this field of ours and from within this field we will discover how the Creator’s growing there.

S. My heart is with the Creator, I see within the eyes of the Creator, right?

R. Yes, through his eyes I don't know, let's say your heart is with the Creator what is next. I guess that was a question and answer together.

18. S. (52:48) What you just said is that we need both, we need the will to receive and we need the will to bestow, we need these both forces. What does it mean that we bring this will to receive this evil inclination to death, so what is left, that helps us to advance even more if we put it to death? 

R. We don't put it to death. We need to understand that we cannot do without the evil inclination; the Creator blesses the evil inclination just like the good inclination, and this is called the two angels. And we only need to know how to work with the two of them in order to put together the system and all of its height and all the way to Ein Sof. Where there at the end these two forces complement one another 100%. To bring these two forces into such a complementary relationship is our work. There are some stages which we seemingly wish to destroy the will to receive and to diminish it and not to use it, we are afraid of it, we love it and so on and so forth. As it is written, the angel of death is destined to become the Holy Angel. We will need to combine these two forces in a complete mutuality and this will be the general correction of the world.

S. How do we bring this evil inclination to death that actually we won't use it and then come to Lishma in the ten?

R. We put the will to receive to death only to the extent that it interferes with our connection, and later we use it in such a way that it will help us with the connection.

Just like in our lives, we see that we can't use only one force; it needs to be ‘help against’ as we call it.

19. S. (55:38) especially after the congress you could really feel the influence of being physically with the friends and at the same time we for example, our ten is virtual and there are a lot of new students that are virtual. How do we see these progressing in the future?

R. Certainly the virtual network has to be the general big network that covers the whole globe and I really hope that in this way we will grow and know how to develop it, and we are still lacking knowledge and forces. but we will try if you have particular advice go ahead, try to participate with it.

S. Maybe the question is what to pay attention to in a virtual ten versus physical ten?

R. I can't say, the difference is so huge. But I think that over time the more we invest ourselves in connections, even virtual connections, we will lose these feelings of being virtual and we will feel as if we have a physical connection. That is how it should be. Okay.

20. S. (57:42) You mention entering this universe of Lishma by calculations, there are new laws and new conditions, is there a certain feeling that we experience when we enter this new universe, what is this feeling of entering Lishma, of this new world?

R. Yes. We will find out along the way.

21. S. (58:30) What does it mean to stop using the will to receive, it sounds like I have to stop to breathe, is it a decision or a desire, what is it?

R. To stop using the will to receive means, to stop making personal calculations for my own sake. Try to think about it and focus on someone else; your children, your friends, the Creator, you'll see it’s possible.

22. S. (59:37) How do we perceive friends as an example, we are all different so what are we looking for here I can imagine the friends as being more devoted?

R. Looking for ways to help a friend because by helping a friend I am advancing myself.

23. S. (01:00:24) When we come to feel as one man with one heart to some extent how do we continue with it, how do we increase it, how do we not run away from it?

R. Only through the connection between us, mutual support, talk about it. Each day you need a few minutes where you speak about the connection between you and how you can strengthen it.

24. S. (01:01:04) Can I ask you a question about connection?

R. Yes.

S. In our ten, we implement everything that the sages tell us to do to get connection and annulment, you are a zero and you see the merits of your friends, everything. But we are so conditioned to what connection means in corporality. How can we recognize that we are connecting, just one sign, one taste?

R. That is a good question. What is the sign that we are truly connecting? The sign should be in the person's heart; where he feels more and more how he can assist the friends.

25. S. (01:02:42) And If I don't feel it, it means that I'm not in the right direction?

R. Of course. If you cannot feel the heart of the friends and you can complete it, it is a sign that you're not in the direction of the connection.

26. S. (01:03:03) I can feel it for myself, in myself. But we try to feel the whole ten, we try to feel as though the whole ten has discovered something and has felt something which is totally different?

R. If you open your heart correctly, you will feel the entire ten in it.

27. S. (01:03:35) On one hand it is like that in two more steps we are in the King's home, and on the other hand it feels like there is a lack of faith, that we don't believe that this can happen. How can we come out?

R. It will always be like that until the end of correction; where we always feel ourselves more distant from the goal at the same time closer to the goal. This is the meaning of walking on two legs.

28. S. (01:04:20) In the excerpt it says that when he sees that it is hopeless that his body will agree on its own to let him work for the sake of the Creator then his prayer can be from the bottom of the heart and then his prayer is accepted. How do I know that the prayer has been accepted?

R. You'll feel it. You become closer to the friends and you can feel in the connection between you, you can feel more of the Creator.

Reading Excerpt #10 (01:05:13) “From not for her sake we come to for her sake. if we pay close attention we can say that the period...” Twice.

29. S. (01:08:28) On the one hand we heard at the beginning of the lesson that we need to be consistent, always put yourself where the ten says and that is how you advance. On the other hand I heard you answering a friend that if I don't feel that my heart is in the heart of the friend that I want to help him then I'm not in the right direction. So, these two things do not coincide. I can be consistent but I don't always feel that I want to help the friend, meaning the development here is not consistent. How do we bridge the gap?

R. This is for me to see in what states I'm in. I need to look at them critically and see the difference between each state and what direction I should take next.

30. S. (01:09:17) Can you explain this excerpt there's a twist here that I don't understand, It turn out in this excerpt that it’s better not to be in Lo Lishma than in Lishma, so why do we want to be get to Lishma, we’ll remain in Lo Lishma at that’s it?

R. From Lo Lishma you come to Lishma; and you can say, if we pay close attention, sensitively, carefully, that the time of Lo Lishma is the most important time since it is easier to unite the acts for the Creator. It is easier. Because when in Lishma, one says he did this the good deed because he's serving the Creator in wholeness, and all his actions are for the sake of the Creator. It follows that he is the owner of the act. However, when he works for Lo Lishma so the good deed one does not do for her sake, therefore he cannot come to Him with a complaint that he deserves a reward. Thus for him the Creator becomes not in debt, hence why did he do that good deed? Only because the Creator provided him with the opportunity that this sum will compel him and force him to do it. So what is the question?

S. It sounds from the excerpt that it's preferable to be in Lo Lishma than in Lishma because then the Creator does not become indebted. So should we remain in Lo Lishma?

R. No. You need to see from the states of Lo Lishma and Lishma that until you complete all the corrections you certainly have certain deficiencies, flaws.

S. And why is it good that I'm in flaws? So let’s say we reach Lishma…

R. No, you constantly rise and rise more and more in Lishma.

S. So what do we say here that i rise to Lishma and fall back to Lo Lishma then i rise to the next degree, i don't get it?

R. Why do you depict it this way?

S. What I don't understand is this excerpt, it is contrary to everything we learnt so far and at least that is how I hear it. I understand that we talked about how to get to Lishma and what we are doing to reach Lishma. And here in this excerpt Rabash explains that Lo Lishma perhaps is more important than Lishma.

R. He explains these things in a few other places, yes.

S. What can I take from this excerpt for our work, let's put it this way?

R. The main thing is to form a true calculator. Again, from Lo Lishma we come to Lishma, not for a sake we come to for her sake, and if we pay close attention we can see that the period of Lo Lishma is the more important time since it is easier to unite the act with the Creator. This is so because in Lishma one says that he did the good deed because he is serving the Creator in wholeness and all of his actions are for the sake of the Creator. He is doing it by himself and he attaches his action to the Creator. However when one works in Lo Lishma so one does not do the good deed for the sake of the Creator. Thus he cannot come to the Creator with a complaint that he deserves reward. As for him the Creator does not become indebted, hence why did he do that good deed? Only because the Creator provided him with the opportunity that the sum would compel him and force him to do it. Meaning specifically in this example, the action he is doing in Lo Lishma is more important than the action in Lishma. He is for now in such a changing state.

30. S. (01:14:55) Why in Lishma the demand for a reward from the Creator disappears? 

R. In Lishma the reward that the person demands is different; he wants to have more and more opportunities to bestow, since he can come and make a demand.

S. But what I understand from this excerpt is that he has an egoistic demand for reward when he is in Lo Lishma.

R. Okay but what is the reward?

S. So the demand for the egoistic reward grows?

R. Why egoistic?

S. Because he knows he is doing it for the Creator now he wants a favor back, that’s what he’s describing here.

R. If he wants the Creator to repay him, then he didn't do it for the sake of the Creator.

S. In the same action that he is 100% for the Creator and he feels that he doesn't control it, it just appears in him that he wants a reward, cause he really did it for the Creator?

R. So he can come later and demand a reward.

S. This is what I am asking, I mean it’s clear, what does he do in this state, he needs to ask for correction?

R. When such a thought comes to him?

S. Yes.

R. He needs to start the work anew and make a correction, you right.

S. So what reward can a person demand from the Creator for his good actions?

R. Only for the Creator to accept his work and to pay Him by giving Him more work; because the work itself is the reward.

31. S. (01:17:05) It’s really an interesting excerpt. How can it be in Lishma and relating the work to himself, he says i did it?

R. Well, he is skilled, he has his own participation, after all. Although we say that everything is the work of the Creator; a person needs to give the Creator an opportunity to discover his work. You cannot say that on behalf of man there's anything here, there's nothing.

S. At the end of every degree, we don't need to say and feel that the whole degree was None else besides Him, so he can keep going?

R. There’s None else besides Him, does not mean that there's no place for a person. Because in such a way there is no use in creating a person, in creating man.

S. But also at the end of the degree, at the end of the process?

R. You are talking about the end of the process. It will be clarified, there's nothing you can do. There are things that we cannot and even must not answer at this point.

32. S. (01:18:48) I heard that when a person sees that the will to receive is dead for him so he brings it to death?

R. Naturally, he wants to put it to death, yes.

S. But the will to receive hypnotizes a person, it puts a spell on him.

R. So okay let's say.

S. So, it seems that he brings me to death, not me.

R. Yes it shows you that it's putting you to death yes, and then you have no choice but to understand that you yourself cannot overcome but only turn to the Creator. Whatever the mind doesn't do, time does; In other words, the action, that we will go through a few more stages and it will be clear to us what we're doing.

33. S. (01:20:01) This plea to the Creator, It's not connecting I can’t turn to the Creator. It seems something is unclear sometime is a bit dumb. It's so disconnected to return to the Creator to talk the Creator to talk to something that you don't know what it is nothing is tangible. and they're telling me that everything depends on that?

R. You are in a bubble that is completely covered by the upper force, and you need to turn to him in order to change your faith. What is so unrealistic here? We are under such forces in our nature.

S. Yes but to turn to these forces is the most unrealistic thing?

R. That is what you have otherwise you are an animal.

S. I understand I hear you say it but when I come to do it to turn to the force and talk to it, what is it?

R. Yes, you're raising yourself to that degree; to the degree of the force that governs you that influences you the builds you. You raise yourself up not that you lower yourself.

S. I don't feel that I'm lowering I just don't feel connected to this action what writing an email to the Creator. What I can't bring myself to do, I can’t?

R. And if you do imagine that you do depend on him. I can say that today I want to accomplish this and this and that. I don't know how it will all end I don't even know how it all will be done. how to do it correctly. So I have some opportunity as sages tell me, turn to him to the upper force to arrange all these states and ask to succeed.

S. So I want this day will go by. I connect with the ten and I realized everything I heard here in the lesson I know that myself I can't do it. Now I have to turn the Creator. I don't want to wait. Can you help me to turn to the Creator, do it with me? Can you escort me in this process so I know what to do?

R. We can all help you; this is actually our role.

S. Okay, so what do I do?

R. We connect you to everyone and we'll push each and everyone towards to the Creator to come closer to the Creator that they will know how to turn to him how to ask him how to receive from him.

S. How can I push the friends into something I don't even know how to do?

R. No one knows.

S. So what do we?

R. The Creator knows that is why you turn to him.

S. But I don't know how to turn, no body knows how to turn to him?

R. It doesn't matter it's like a baby that cries out and his mother understand. That's how it is, you need to weep.

S. I don't have problem to weep but to who to what?

R. Cry like a baby that scream he doesn't know who hears him or doesn't. But the mother feels that he is crying out that he needs help some things bad he's suffering in some way and she even knows what he's suffering. And she does not know she comes to him and checks why he is crying.

S. Sometimes there's a feeling that you're going through the state ascent and descent. So sometimes I feel that there's a force that is really escorting me. Like this mother is guarding a child when he plays but I can't extract an action for myself of turning and crying to this mother to the Creator. I feel that there's something there that's gardening and escorting me but when the Kabbalist telling me now you from yourself have to cry. That is where I get stuck?

R. That doesn’t notice…

S. It seems like a very irrational action I can't bring myself to do it in irrational action.

R. Yes, you're missing troubles. That if it was more painful you would cry out and yell in a more true form.

34. S. (01:26:08) Can I hear such a pain or complaint or plea or question of my friend in the ten? How can I help how can we help as friends in the ten?

R. If you hear?

S. Yes, we heard our friend in my 10, so what should we do in such a state from here on?

R. You need to talk about it together how to help him. And you need to decide and what you are helping him with.

35. S. (01:27:10) Until we do not develop this feeling towards the Creator, is there like a thread that I can grab on to turn to him to Plea to him to come closer to the ten in some way? Does not that help my state to turn to the Creator?

R. Again.

S. As long as I didn’t find that the end of the rope like a friend said by me trying to connect to the ten, Isn't that a plea to the Creator?

R. Yes, yes, that is why from the love of the friends to the love the Creator. First of all we come closer to the ten and there we find contact with the Creator.
