Morning Lesson July 25, 2021 Transcription
Item 63 (00:23) “Now you can understand that there really is no end ….”
1. R. (03:03) It is as we said in the previous lesson that the whole Partzuf of Adam HaRishon is 10 Sefirot HBD HGT NHYM, so in the beginning the vessels, the lighter vessels are sorted out and then the harder ones and the difference is not only in the vessels being different in their coarseness, but in their manner and the way that they are broken because there is a difference. It is not just that the vessels are on our level of coarseness of root 1 2 3 4 and that they are broken in it, It is also in what way they were connected among themselves in what way and from what form they became disconnected and how they functioned. That now they seemingly operate the opposite of their former functionality, there are many discernments from what they had before this shattering and what they have now after the shattering. Now there is a problem here in the correction of the vessels, that the more we advance and become closer and closer to the final correction, the vessels that we raised, the vessels that rise from the breaking to correction are growing worse and worse and this is what we are seeing in the world around us.
How from generation to generation people are growing more selfish but they don't care about anything that we think the people 100 or 200 years ago were crass and more selfish than we are, but they weren't, they didn't have it. To us it seems like it was easy for them to be content with less, they weren’t content with less, this was regular life and also there wasn't that much to offer, there wasn’t that much around them, it was easy for them to subjugate themselves before rulers that govern them. For us, it is not like that. We are the most broken vessels from the higher level that we were in, the vessels of Keter, Hochma, Bina, we fell down and broke more than all of the previous vessels that have achieved correction because all of the corrections begin from the lighter to the heavier. Therefore what is happening to us is that we see ourselves is very weak so we haven't the same devotion that can be in the previous vessels because they're shattering wasn't as harsh or difficult, they didn't fall from our level but from a lesser one so it was easier for them to believe and unite, to organize themselves. But for us it is very difficult. There are many questions here.
Item 63 Again (07:30)
2. S. (10:22) What does it mean that the highest life can only be revealed in these souls?
R. How can the lights be revealed if not in corrected vessels, it is impossible for a vessel that is not corrected for the light to be revealed in it.
S. If we are saying that we want the lights to be revealed in the 10, what is the connection between the lowest souls and us?
R. We need to correct the connections between us on top of all of the forms of shattering that are revealed among us. The heavier the forms of shattering among us in the 10, the more essential ones and we still correct them, by this we reveal the higher lights.
S. So these are lower souls?
R. Yes, Souls are desires. That's it
3. S. (11:45) Can you explain Baal HaSulam's discernment between a Partzuf of the world and Partzuf of the souls, can you explain what he means?
R. We will soon learn it, the world depends upon how he uses the word, normally the word means concealment, what is concealed or hidden. This is called the world. Souls are vessels that are in some form of connection between them and this is why they have some connection with the upper light, with the Creator. Here it is the opposite connections of lights and vessels, we will speak about it. I'm just not certain how to approach it as it is a general question.
4. S. (13:11) How in our generation can we make our prayer more precise to the Creator?
R. What does it matter in which generation, we have to begin with our desires, with what we see and what we want, what we desire for and what we have to achieve through the connection between us and when we attain connection with the Creator in this way accordingly he fills us with his presence, meaning with his light.
S. Our desires change in every second so how can we calibrate this right?
R. Through connection between us we rise above all of the nonsense that awakens in us each moment and achieve a more stable form of desires and intentions through connection among us. Because in each one there are a myriad of intentions and desires but if we go for the connection among us by this, we submit ourselves and then all of the desires and thoughts stop running around in us and we position them, we direct them in the proper direction, in a single direction. Alone you can't do it because alone you are devoid, you are given to the changes in your records, the elements inside of you. But if you go and organize your relationship with friends, by this you establish and fix. You put out the eruptions of the records and you come into the right direction as we can't work with what we have inside of us because there are many thoughts in man's heart and it is all running around. If we want to connect ourselves to others then by this we create stability where each one is holding the others. This is why a 10 becomes something that has a shape, a form and it is no longer confused like particles that run around with intentions, it all becomes a lot more stable. Then it also creates an order from Keter to Malchut, restricting reflected light to the screens and the records, this is a completely different world. Without connection between us we are unworthy or unsuitable for anything.
5. S. (16:55) How does it feel to be in a purer spiritual vessel?
R. I can't tell you what it feels like, you feel what you feel. We have to come to a place where all of our desires are directed toward the Creator and out of this we will feel ourselves as a spiritual vessel.
S. Can we be lighter or more refined so that everything will flow more?
R. I can't understand you or it's hard to hear you.
S. Can we be lighter or more refined and successful in the work of the Creator over all the heaviness?
R. If you try you will, of course you can be more refined.
S. What do I aspire to?
R. The connection with the friends you have to create states as in the spiritual Partzuf.
6. S. (18:41) What does it mean that the vessels of the Sof are scrutinized, do the lights even get there?
R. Yes, that is a problem with the wisdom of Kabbalah that we name many different discernments with the same words. Rosh, Toch, Sof; head, interior, and end are in the Partzuf. In the Rosh you have 10 sefirot, in the Toch you have 10 Sefirot and in the Sof 10 Sefirot. You can’t have Rosh if you don’t have representatives of the 10 Sefirot which are thoughts, goals, etc. You can’t have Toch, (interior) that doesn't have 10 Sefirot that execute the action as much as you can discern in every discernment and the Sof, where they keep from performing the actions which is also a lot of work because they are saying thus far we don’t need any more than that. In every Partzuf you have 30 Sefirot and not 10, Rosh, Toch, Sof, and even that isn’t enough as we have more discernments, this is how we need to see the situation.
S. What is the addition of the lower vessels called Sof?
R. The fact that we use the vessels are Rosh, Toch and Sof is just a language that we use the vessels of all of the 10 Sefirot we use the refined vessels in the root coarseness of level 1 and then on the second level and then coarseness on the levels of 3 and 4 as we have three types of vessels, let's put it this way Ibur, Yenicka, Mochin.
S. What he says here when the vessels NHY are already made, so these vessels receive the lights eventually?
R. Of course, we receive light but there is an inverse relation between the lights and the vessels, only at the end of correction will everything be filled with a light of Ein Sof and then each and every vessel will get the line that it should receive from the perspective of creation. In the meantime every vessel has received light that comes to it out of its presence in the Partzuf. Where the more refined ones receive more, the heavy ones have a chance to give more.
7. S. (21:58) To understand Baal HaSulam, he says in our generation the essence of these souls is the worst in reality because they couldn't come to Holiness until today, we are the weakest generation of all of the generations also in dissemination?
R. Of course, we are living in the last generation and we feel that there are great changes in the world and all of those changes are for us and because of us so we will work with them. In the previous generations they were not a phenomenon like now.
S. Why are such difficulties coming since we are the weakest generation?
R. Go to the craftsman who made me.
S. What is the reason?
R. I don't know and I really don't care, I need to first of all work, do you understand? It's not going to help me if I become a wise guy and I want the Creator to do it this way or that way, if he did it, what are you going to do?
S. Because I'm concerned, in dissemination, that we are not successful.
R. We have to demand from all of reality so we work, God has created to do and if you don't use it for doing but in order not to do then you are not going to get anything out of it besides damn philosophy.
S. Can we find the point of weakness, where is it in dissemination?
R. Our weakness in dissemination as we can't balance our intellect with our feelings as our intellect wants to jump ahead as if it understands anything about reality.
S. We develop more feelings. How do we do this and not mind?
R. You can develop the feeling indefinitely if you have a 10.
S. Yes, you see it?
R. I see you have 9 people there.
S. They are amazing.
R. So what's the problem?
S. Because we argue, some run away, if they can't deal with this state.
R. That is incorrect, you don't know what it means to cope are not too cope, if you are in all kinds of scrutiny these are not in scrutinies it is still progress and corrections as everything is correct
S. So if something happens you say not to run by to overcome every state and that is your advancement?
R. Yes.
Item 64 (25:22) Twice
8. R. (28:02) The first generation is more important than the last generation. The way they come out, the ones who are less flawed from the shattering as corrections are from easy to difficult, as if you take the cream off first.
Reader continues (28:38) “in the essence of their own souls….”
9. R. (29:14) That is according to what we study the opposite relation between the lights and the vessels, the more of the vessels are coarse, worse and when they rise for correction they draw the greater lights. That is why even though we on one hand, that we don't feel ourselves that we are destined for corrections, there are people who receive much more heaviness of the heart, they still restricted themselves and they can be eating a piece of bread with salt and drink some water and sleep on the land and they still toil in the wisdom of Kabbalah in the corrections. They were ready to just kill themselves to reach some kind of spiritual work and us, with all of our conditions that would have, we don't want it. We need to understand that the great complete lights that we specifically draw and stabilize them in the vessel of Adam HaRishon.
10. S. (30:55) I remember when I just started studying I needed to often just accept Baal HaSulam or Rabash wrote or what you said which I didn't feel, yet after several years, you see that it is accurate and correct and there's no question about it being correct. So in asking about the world and even about the people of Israel what should they do so we can promote them, do they also have to have faith in the sages?
R. They need to subdue themselves and to receive and take us that we leave them as the group that leads the way.
S. Who does that depend on?
R. Like Moses took all of the people out of Egypt this is how we need to see ourselves in that duty and it is not exaggerated and it is not pride or anything, it is difficult work. Moses was such a poor guy who was running around in this work, it is also written about it. That is why that's how we have to see it. We are advancing to a state where we understand more and more what we are supposed to do even though we are tiny and what and how can we be leaders. The Creator is the leader, we just need to make the connection, so in order to make connection with all of the shattered humanity we also have to be like that, shattered, dirty, weak. Still when we know that we have to connect to the Creator and we know we need to connect to humanity and humanity from now is also going through good friction from all of the pandemic and floods and fires and it is not the end of it. We come to a state that because we have no choice, specifically from that way when we start bestowing connection to each other. The corrections above all of our calculations in order to be saved, in that way we can be saved and that is our role.
S. By bestowing connections upon one another inside Bnei Baruch?
R. Inside us that is clear I'm talking about general humanity.
S. What does it take for them to receive this bestowing from us because we disseminate and study and do everything we can?
R. On one hand keep doing that and on the other the Creator will organize everything.
S. What needs to happen for them to accept?
R. They will say what they told Moses in Egypt, you speak to Pharaoh and we will stand on the side. Just like they said on Mount Sinai you go talk to the Creator and will stand on the side they can't do any more than that there's no connection and no vessels for the connection. Along with that they are prepared for it.
S. So that is the end of the process to speak to the Creator?
R. Soon, don't worry, some more fires and floods and a bit more germs in humanity. You know if you make a calculation now of what we went through in the 2 years of the pandemic you will see there is no problem. I see this is something that is very short and quick.
S. What will be the beginning of the connection with us, what will they demand in the beginning?
R. We need to give them a rational explanation to what is happening and to stand on it and keep renewing our explanation and they will see that except for us no one can grasp it.
S. Is it the explanation they need to understand?
R. They are working according to intellect and reason, something.
S. Go to be in the form of explanation or solution?
R. It is an explanation for the solution.
S. They will want to connect?
R. They will want to because after all the disappointment of having all these supposed solutions they won't have anything, that is what it's left. I can't say what it is about the times, but we will speak about it as I really hope that times are compressing and coming closer.
Item 65 (36:43) Twice
Item 66 (39:27)
11. R. (39:50) Here of course we have to understand what do you write says there's no nationality here, this is not the matter, it is a matter if a person has a desire and a longing for the Creator if not he doesn't belong to this, he does have a desire for the Creator this is called that the Creator chose him because he gave him that desire and it means the person has an opportunity and an ability to come close and reveal the Creator to cling on to him.
Reader continues “Also there is internality among Israel themselves….”
12. S. (42:21) What is the revealed Torah and what is the practical part of the commandments, all of those concepts I'm not certain I understand what he is talking about?
R. Torah, is all them means that with them we can reach the revelation of the Creator which is mainly the light that reforms that we awaken it and it shines upon us and that is it.
S. What is revealed here?
R. What is revealed to a person is from his actions and concealed means it is concealed from a person. Only towards a person attaining, revealed and concealed, it is not that in this way it is open to everybody and this way it is closed from everybody.
S. What is the practical part of the commandments?
R. That we are doing, there are people who interpret that this is what we do with our hands and legs and our mouths and so on. There is the practical part of the commandments that we do in our desires and in that we draw the lights of the revelation of the Creator towards us. We will keep talking about it, it's not very simple, it's not written here, if we talk about it we have to open up all these things now in a true way.
13. S. (45:21) There is this excitement towards meals all this evening?
R. That's the reason why everybody is dormant. There will not be a concert. I won't dance or sing or explain anything before you, we can explain all of these things now. I don't really have anything to do in the evening, what are you planning to do in the evening and how are you planning to prepare this meal and how do you want it to happen. Discuss about it now and decide so that you can have time to prepare.
S. So maybe we should workshop this question?
R. How do we want to have this evening lesson today? That is too broad, I don't know how to ask it. Who is in charge of the meal?
S. In the beginning of the lesson, you said everything we're learning now is the implementation of the theory we've been learning in the last year-and-a-half so how do we realize the connection of the first degree between us in the meal this evening?
R. That is exactly what we're learning in the morning lesson of how we are realizing the first spiritual degree, the entrance into spirituality. How do we have a meal this evening for our entrance into spirituality?
S. On a team with the friends we will make certain the atmosphere is there for each 10 to do. We will prepare ourselves and the rest of the Kli see, each one has to prepare themselves and we're trying to understand how it's possible to rise another degree in these meetings so it's not just a celebration?
R. Is there a necessity and in the necessity are we coming to the realization, what are we deciding for today, Sunday, what do we want to retain until this evening, what are we coming with? Let's say you're coming as a guest so you bring a nice gift. I hope that I will invite you if I am certain you are going to bring a nice gift so you bring it. I don't know a nice bottle from a special place there. So what are we bringing for tonight, that by this we want to make the friends happy?
S. This is what we are supposed to speak among ourselves now?
R. Yes.
