Connecting into One Ten - Selected Excerpts from the Sources. #3

1. Rav’s Introduction: (00:51) Yes, we need to aim ourselves towards the purpose of creation. There we will discover our form as one ten, as the Creator created it ten and not nine, ten and not eleven but rather, there is no more in the world, as Baal HaSulam writes but only one ten. This is the structure of the whole of humanity, of the whole of reality, of the entire world, of the entire spiritual structure and we need to discover this structure so that we feel it in its entirety and that we belong to it and other than the structure there is nothing else. This is how we need to discover reality and then inside this reality we discover its root; the root of the system which is the Creator.

This is why connecting between us into a structure that seems to us as one ten and in it to discover that one force is actually all that we need. It means to discover the vessel of the structure itself, of the ten and to discover the Creator as our source. Meaning, There is None Else Besides Him, which is the only force; the one force that operates.

When we discover this structure, this ten, through it we discover its source, the Creator. We can adhere to Him, exist in Him, we disappear in Him according to the law of equivalence of form, such that we can truly discover that There is None Else Besides Him and besides the Creator, there is nothing, even the created beings. They exist only to the extent that they can discover that There is None Else Besides Him.

This is actually the direction of our spiritual development and these are the stages of our feeling that they have to follow those same degrees until there is nothing more than the single force that operates and we are inside of it, we are inside of it.

Well, let's see what Rabash and Baal HaSulam write about it, so please.

Reading Excerpt # 3. (04:38) “The body with its organs are one..”

2. R. (06:33) This is what we actually have ahead of us. We first of all need to discover who we are, that we do not belong just to the still, vegetative and animate, but rather we belong to the whole of nature, to the general system. We need to discover this entire system and how much, how integral it is, it is all interconnected, it operates and influences and depends on each other, that's one thing.

Second, is that we exist under the control, the rule of the single force and it operates on us. It operates from above without asking us because it has already planned in advance, even before it started working on us, even before we were born, established according to His will from the degree of this world. Even before that we were created in order to be dependent, ‘as one man in one heart’ in order to discover these things, these various kinds of connections and specifically from the connections and us being so different, separated, opposite, far away from each other. Out of that and if we try to connect above all the differences between us then through something and its opposite, we assemble the mechanism and this mechanism is actually called Bore, the Creator.

It is called Bore, come and see, that with respect to us, it starts to be revealed as something and its opposite and then because we are created beings and in such a way, through something and its opposite we can discover Him. And this is how we advance and because we are created beings, we advance in revelation of one through the other, black over white, two opposite things. Otherwise we wouldn't be able to distinguish, to check, to study, to feel them. 

Therefore, the more we advance, we have greater distancing between us, until on the social level we begin to hate each other, to reject each other etc.. This means that the nearing always comes to us through two stages: left and right. First the left is revealed, that we hate, we don't love, we are hostile, we are enemies of each other. And later on we change, we understand about the unity of creation, about the integration of creation, about the Creator both on the left and on the right, and in such a way we get closer and we unite up to being ‘as one man in one heart’.

Even though, all of the corrections that go through us go through these two forms, left and right, just the way our heart beats in two directions. Pulling in and also pushing out, and only when we work in such a way, without stopping the flow so that it goes in both directions, in and out, inside of our heart, inside of our life, only in such a way we feel more and more our own reality; the reality of the Creator, and only through that, through such movement, we feel our existence; our life. This is why we have work.

We need to connect, all of us, in what we call one ten. In one ten, it means that all of our actions even though each and every one of us can only perform a single action, and it's a partial action, if we work together, then it's like in a motor, all kinds of different parts working in different manners, however they all have a single purpose and a single outcome. And this is how we should see our body also, our world group, that all of us, all of us are directed towards the purpose of creation. And we do want to reach it, each and everyone, as much as he understands, as much as he feels, as much as he is allowed from the entire whole system of the whole of creation to understand and feel what he has to do, what he is capable of, what he can do, how can assist everyone.

This is how we need to mostly connect and carry out the action. And in connection we understand that no one is like the other but rather all of us have to work on attaining the same goal. And in attaining that one goal, we will be very different, more and more so.

The more we will develop the closer we will be towards the attainment of the goal. We will discover how different we are, like the students of Rabbi Shimon, like in the beginning they didn't feel it but later on over time when they grew up, there were states where they wanted to kill one another. It will be the same with us. The more we will develop, we will discover the contradictions, oppositeness, distancing from each other. And precisely with that, we will discover the connection, we will discover from the side of the created beings, all the qualities of the Creator, his whole nature and it will truly be like Him, adhered to His nature.

This is why to connect into one ten, this is our way, the way of correction. This is our correct connection and then we will feel how much truly, this complementation into a single ten, where each one speaks with the others and cares for the others, by this, each one reaches wholeness and then the Creator is revealed because he builds from us this structure called Adam, that resembles Him, the Creator.

And this system, this system, arranges itself such that the Creator will clothe in it, and will be revealed to all the parts of creation, to all the souls. This is actually His purpose with respect to the created beings.

This is what we need now following our Congress, our connection that we have achieved. Now we need to see this as our goal, that no matter where we will be, in what edges of the world, we feel ourselves that we belong to a single body and this body completes itself with all of its parts. And to that extent that we yearn for it in such a way and we feel it, it's just like a mother feels her children. Even though they are far away, she feels what is happening with them. She is constantly thinking about them.

We even more than that, we need to be connected with each other because we belong to our spiritual body and therefore, as much as we will yearn for it, we will establish ourselves in such a way, we will certainly have a great revelation of the upper reality, which is eternal and whole, and it exists in such an internal and whole manner above this reality that is currently revealed in us.

That's it. Let's hope that we will reach at least the beginning of this feeling, this is already ahead of us. We just have to think about that, only about our corrected and more advanced form that is becoming established before us, that this is the most important and unique thing. And all the rest will be revealed as something that's, well, whatever is relevant to this will be revealed.

I'm very happy that we are talking about it. That it is possible to talk about it and it's possible to understand it. That we've already advanced to a state where I can explain it in a rather simple way, which is clear and we can even make it tangible, we can feel it. This is how we will advance, that's one thing.

And second, there are a few additional things that I would like to touch upon today maybe but we will see. But the most important thing for us today is to assemble the single mechanism, the single ten, that only it exists in the whole of reality and besides it there is nothing else, there is no surplus, there's nothing else that is left but rather, the whole of creation, all of it, is only one ten. And we from our individual tens should yearn to discover that one ten, above time, motion, place, such that other than it, nothing else exists and the inner force that sustains it and keeps it is the Creator. Any questions?

3. S. (22:40) In the congress we accessed a few states where it feels like all of the Kli feel the common effort. We really felt that we are going through this process together, of like struggling with the Creator. It is said that every person can shift the scale to one side or the other and if the Creator doesn't hold it everything falls, right? But we have to ask the Creator to always hold us. Do I have to feel clearly the whole Kli in order to be able to ask of the Creator from this general deficiency?

R. We don't have to exist in the center of our vessel and feel its inner state. We mostly need to know to which form we should be drawn to. We should bring our vessel to our collective, general, world vessel into a ten. Meaning, that all of us will complete each other for the time being, as much as possible and we will advance in such a way, through each and every stage, through mutual complementation always.

This is the most important thing that will also influence the whole world because the world is only a local, mechanical result of what we between us in our desires and in our thoughts try to establish. Even though we still also don't understand what it is that we are doing and we don't yet have such a mechanism so that we can feel all of its arms, all of its parts. But as much as we try and hear, the most important is the effort.

Just like with a little child, that the most important thing is that he tries, each time more and more. And it's out of his exertion, not out of his successes but out of his exertion. As much as he sweats out more, as much as he wants it more, out of that he builds himself, he advances, he builds connections inside of his brain and in his heart, how the systems within him need to be connected and this is how he builds reality.

And we are the same, that is, we should try to do as much as possible, more together to talk about it but in such a way that we won't confuse each other, briefly, to the point more and more. We should build that single place, that vessel, that single pot, in which we want to cook all of our thoughts, all of our desires, all of our inclinations, everything that we think about ourselves and about the whole of reality, so it will all be in a single pot. And this is how it will exist.

S. In the ten, we have all kinds of friends, some need to be awakened, some need to be strengthened but that's inside the ten. Now, after the convention we feel something around the ten, this incorporation. How not to seclude ourselves in our ten and always keep this background, this greater circle, so that we can feel this whole mass around us just like in the convention?

R. This will not disappear but rather this is just the beginning of the revelation of the Creator. That in such a way He is revealed in that He is covering us and this is how it is going to be more and more. We just have to want it to happen, that His whole revelation will cover us like some framework, or a pot, or a hat, or a cover, or a lid. That in such a way, He wants to close all of us together inside of Him because he is the place of reality. And then we will feel that we exist inside of Him.

So, bit by bit, the more we will want to be connected inside a single Creator and to feel Him together that He's the One, the only One working on us, bridging us, connecting us, pressuring us. According to that, we will discover ourselves as a single created being, Adam HaRishon. We will return to that same form as it existed at the beginning of creation.

However, we will already be as One, corrected, this is what we have ahead of us. There are not that many actions that are left for us to do but rather only to be persistent in keeping them and it will happen. Then this last generation that all of the Kabbalists dreamed about will be revealed and we will be revealed in it, in that state of the last generation.

Then you will see how much then of an opportunity and a possibility to bestow to the whole world will open up to us. To explain to the whole of humanity what is going on, and where we are, because then will come the time when they will also need to participate to some extent, each and everyone, in establishing that last generation.

4. S. (31:45) About this completion you said that in the ten we have to complete each other's actions. In my understanding, completion is that one friend does something and the other friend continues what the first one did. If you can clarify: what is this mutual completion in the ten?

R. There are processes which we do out of our intellect, there are those that we do out of our feeling. You always demand of us first to understand and then to actualise these things.

This is one kind of created being, of people. Spiritually, we cannot go this way, in spirituality we cannot rise to the spiritual degrees through our intellect. All of our work has to be in working above reason. And this is why first, we have to carry out the actions, and out of that ,once they are carried out with the help of the Creator, through His guidance, then we will see how it works because following that we will already be wise.

This is why it is a big problem to understand the Creator’s operations through the intellect but rather through connection, through the urgency for connection. This is what we need to absorb, to understand, to implement. Even though it will not be with my desire and certainly not with my intellect but nevertheless, I understand that this is how that single system has to work.

Apparently, it is the opposite of me and so then I will feel how it all comes together and how it operates. But it is not that I understand everything and I write it down before me 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on, these are the operations, and later on I carry out these operations in my life. I cannot begin from the human mind and then elevate this work to the spiritual work. No.

S. In completion, I look at my friend and try to complete something towards him or towards the general goal?

R. We just have to complete ourselves, compliment ourselves towards the common goal. It's not that I'm right, or the friend is right but rather together we can find the common goal that does not exist in either one of us but rather that we build it specifically by both of us connecting.

5. S. (36:50) You mentioned a few times, the mechanism that is most important for us to think about, this common mechanism in the tens. This image of the Creator that sort of covers us, envelops us like this pot or this hat, we should mostly think about that. How to think about it correctly? How to do some exercises in the tens towards that?

R. Practically, I would depict ourselves as parts of the soup that is thrown into a pot. They are cut off and being cooked inside the pot, which is placed on the fire, on the heat and this is how we eventually reach a state where all of us are being cooked. In that each one understands that he adds to the others, that it is impossible to reach the goal, so that it would become some food, some dish, unless if all of them will become incorporated with each other as much as possible. And out of this we will arrive at whatever it has to be. A good food.

I am asking you very much that we will think about this, that we would understand how much we have to be connected, united, bonded. How much our intellect and emotions and all of our qualities, none of them, no individual qualities in each and everyone will exist, in that it will exist alone. But rather, it truly has to be through such a mixture where we don't feel any taste of separation, of any individual, rather we are all together. This is what I mean by this dish that is ready.

S. {no translation}

R. The general, collective taste has to be whatever the Creator wants us to taste. It is one, great, upper light and certainly inside of it, its foundation there was NRNHY and it will become incorporated in and fill up all of the KHB ZON of the vessels. But in the end there is no difference there between all of the different parts but rather it is only the incorporation within them that brings out a new result that has never existed in reality. That this new result is called the revelation of the Creator to the created being. The Creator cannot be revealed because he includes everything, so how can he be revealed if he includes everything. However, we are not capable of grasping that thing that includes everything. We have to be incorporated with everyone, and this is a problem. Until we reach this it takes time. However this work is already the work of the created being which is coming closer to correction.

6. S. (42:08) How do I add in a state of distancing and disconnection from the ten, when I feel the opposite of it?

R. As much as one feels himself in the opposite state, it's like the students of Rabbi Shimon wanted to kill each other. This always awakens in a person, his new force of ego, that one is greater than his friend, his inclination is greater. So the more one is destined to be higher, greater, then he feels himself even more opposite to everyone, more individual.

And this is seemingly a problem but later on we see that precisely these forces that pull him away from everyone, they actually help him to express himself to the fullest. And this is how it is with us. This is how we will also want to participate, eventually with everyone because the time will come for each and everyone, when he will feel that he cannot express himself in any other way, it's impossible. But only in becoming incorporated in the other annulling in the other, and in such a way, he has the ability to find himself. Until I annul in everyone I do not find myself. I have to reach a state where I am zero, meaning I annul myself towards everyone and then out of this zero, I begin to rise to the degrees of the attainment of the Creator.

7. S. (44:50) We learned that we have to unite in one desire to the Creator, what do we mean in this because I think that everyone is thinking that everyone wants to build the Creator?

R. But in each and every one there is his ego, the evil inclination, and this is what the Creator created deliberately, in order for us to not just connect between us and be as one man. That we will not just understand the other and feel the other and become united. But rather the Creator wants us to attain an even higher degree than that, from the connection between us, His degree.

That He is above all the connections and above all the separations and so that in order to attain Him, that we necessarily need not to be satisfied with just connecting between us, we need to annul ourselves, annul our entire ego completely. We need to become incorporated in each other so that none of us wants to feel himself but to feel only the other without any relation to himself. Each one annuls himself completely, and then we reach a state where we are willing and ready to get to know the Creator. What is this force, that on the one hand it exists in each one of us, on the other hand it is completely disconnected from us. These are things that are difficult to express.

In short, we will reach it and we will feel it, it is truly right ahead of us soon. We will do it. I don't quite have the words to answer your question, but we will go through it. We will go through that as well.

8. S. (48:00) How will we be able to connect with love to a single ten when we are in so much brokenness and disconnection?

R. When we connect into a single vessel, we feel how incompatible we are to each other, because the beginning of getting closer to each other follows our vessels of reception but on the way we start discovering how much it doesn't work, it's not compatible. And then we do not have a choice but start seeing that if it were different, in order to bestow, then it could connect to a single system and then it turns out that we begin to demand, to ask of the Creator to make such a connection between us.

It's very similar to what you see in small children, that they want to do something, they're trying and it doesn't work out but they really want to. Let's say there's this big beautiful candy that they really want to unwrap and they think about it like the best thing in the world, but they cannot do it. And they ultimately come and surrender and ask you in different ways to open it for them.

So that's kind of what we do, ultimately we bow before the Creator and we ask Him to teach us, how can we achieve the form of bestowal, this new quality of being interconnected. Where each one wants to reveal the other as working for the sake of all, it will come practically and then we will understand a lot from it.

9. S. (51:10) We came out of this amazing Congress and in a few days we will go back home, in a day or two. So is there any sharp instruction or tip you can give us, that we can take with us, so that we can remain connected with the friends or connect even more?

R. We have here in Bnei Baruch a system that is responsible for the connection between everyone. There's a system that's responsible for the events that we hold from time to time and several other systems. We should be connected all of us, all the tens, and see what we can participate in and of course for everyone. For instance, the Passover holiday that we are approaching, it's not about the holiday itself, it's just a symbol of the exiting, from the exile in order to receive to the intentions in order to bestow, from disconnection to connection, from hate to love. This is basically what this holiday symbolizes.

We correspondingly will also have here some week or less but it's more or less a week, of this festival, of connection, of exodus from in order to receive to in order to bestow. Let's hope that anyone who wants to come, of course we will be happy to welcome them, those who cannot for whatever reason, then we will stay connected through other means of communication that we have, the internet and so forth. And so we will stay connected, you should be in contact with that department that is setting up this week of Passover.

Passover, Pesach, means to pass over, which refers to exiting from in order to receive to in order to bestow, exiting Egypt. And let's hope that we start learning that and not just learn it but realize it within us, and so we will continue. It's a very powerful holiday that has many forces that are useful and add a lot to our spiritual progress and there are many other events that we will have so we will be together.

S. You talk about Pesach [Passover] and that the ten should be always working as a single mechanism. How can we arrange ourselves so that we can go through the tough states that you told us yesterday that they might be coming?

R. States that are difficult or not difficult it all depends on a person, to what extent he is ready. I told you that even when I had to go through all kinds of operations, I was happily running to the operation room on my own, which is prohibited you should be taken by other people, lying on a bed that's moving there and I was running there on my own and telling them, please put me to sleep and operate on me.

So it all depends on what a person understands about what he's moving towards and then there is no problem. That you just want the good thing to happen and ultimately it has to happen. I think that we understand and we are in a state of recognition and understanding of what is happening to us and what needs to happen. The difference between the good state and the bad state is simply the quality of connection between us. If the connection is good and correct, everything flows smoothly, all of the pipelines are open and everything is beautiful and open. As long as there are no blocks, if no one becomes a block towards the other, on the contrary, everyone wants to be connected to the others, linked to the others, and so that's what you should want to happen; we will do it.

10. S. (58:00) We started with each person being in a ten, and now we are talking about a stage of the world ten, and it looks like, it turns out we are ready for it. And it depends on each one, how much this process will become realized more quickly. Maybe we are somehow delaying this process, somehow blocking it, because on the other hand, you said that the process builds itself in such a way that the Creator clothes inside of it. Now in this stage of the forming of the world ten, what depends on us, and what depends on the Creator in order for it to be completed?

R. Everything depends on us, everything depends on us, on the one hand, and on the other hand, depends on the Creator. If I am not for myself then who? That's what a person should say and with it he should also say that There's None Else Besides Him, that only the Creator leads all of creation to its correction. So both this and that.

So how do you connect the two together, for that we need to achieve through Dvekut [adhesion] where there's no difference between me and Him. So then, what is None Else Besides Him and what if I'm not for myself then who? It becomes one, it becomes one thought, and one action, and one intention and one outcome. We get to that. But look, we are already climbing like children, climbing somewhere, we're already climbing up these rungs by ourselves.

11. S. (01:00:50) I would like to go back to the beginning of the text, we talked about the fact that my 10 is a body. I'm a part of my 10 and my ten is connected and if I harm the 10 can the Created take me out of this body because I'm harming the 10? Does he throw me out? Does the Creator throw me out of the 10, can this happen? And if it does happen, what will happen, what will be of me?

R. I would say this, also from my experience and also from what we understand from the writings. The most important is to continue. It is said about that anything but leave, anything but leave relates to each and every moment. It's not that you are leaving the wisdom of Kabbalah now or leaving the group or going for a 6-month vacation or something, anything but leave refers to the moment that you are in do not leave. Do not leave meaning keep moving towards the same goal, the same path and that is the main thing in each and every moment to not let go, not leave.

And from these moments you will see how quickly they become the steps on the path that lead you towards the goal. That is the main thing and of course here there is the group that has to carry you, to care for you and not be ashamed of that. To this day, for instance yesterday in the middle of the day, I get a phone call from the group that said we are now reading an article, where are you? I said ok I'm with you thank you for letting me know, and so on. Meaning all the time, all the time awaken each other and that is how we advance. I think we have a correct mechanism, we need to develop it for sure and we can determine many more actions that will not confuse people, that's very important. Not confuse people but will carry them in a way that's gentle and acceptable so that we all connect and wish to be connected and it needs to be done intelligently, comfortably and softly.

12. S. (01:05:06) We talked about this connection and if we want to connect and we are raising ego because we are an ego and the question is, how to ask the Creator to change it?

R. To turn to the Creator is the simplest thing. On the way to him you don't need to go through any definitions or gates or even though that's what the Zohar writes about many such systems but ultimately it's simple. A person doesn't need to know exactly what he's going through, but simply to want, to want it. That he should want it and always aim himself directly towards the Creator, as directly as possible. Don't be shy, like a baby towards a mother. He should feel connected to the Creator like he once existed inside the Creator before he was born, meaning before the egoistic will to receive was born in him and then he stopped feeling connected to the Creator.

So the same thing, to connect, to reconnect to the Creator above that separating ego. It all depends on how much we can give ourselves a few minutes to settle down and delve deeper and feel that we are together, me and the Creator and there's nothing that separates us and to simply hug each other. To not feel that like the Creator is foreign, is that he is not good, that he is somehow in contrast to me, but rather to understand him, to feel him, to connect to him like a child to a mother. You will see how you will feel him exactly the same way as you relate to him. Start from just like a little child, when he feels a bit bad. Then he lies on his mother and he just wants to feel her and he doesn't even have the power to lift his head up, that's how we need to lie on the Creator. That besides this action, we cannot do anything. All the rest is up to you, I devote myself to you and give myself to you and you feel what I lack and bring me closer. That always works.

13. S. (01:04:43) I want to use the example that you gave the friend, I didn't find a better form to create the questions.. how much should we stop the pepper so it won't be too hot or how much should we combine everything in the dish?

R. It all depends on the person who is cooking the stew for himself, somewhat more and some don't want it all and others want to add something else that it's not that hot, it all depends on the person. same thing in his work, in his goal, and why doesn't he need such a spicy dish or not, so all that needs to be examined. Usually it also all depends on the group. The group gives us flavors and directs us to say whether something is good or not good or should be eaten or not.

I recommend ultimately as much as possible, as many times a day to remember the group, and when you remember it you try to incorporate with it. what can you do, of course we're all different to the point that in our differences we also cannot stand each other, but just understand that these things, all of these feelings and all of these instances happen in order for us to understand them and get used to them and it's something I cannot even express but these are the things that help us the most to integrate ourselves to a single vessel, to one man. what is cooked up in the pot from all of us, from all human beings is that we are becoming one man once again. One man, Adam, and we emerge from there one man similar to the Creator. That is very important.

14. S. (01:13:06) During the whole Congress I was in thought of the group, my Ten and your thought drifts away and every time you adhere to the Creator, and every time, everything that's being said if you want to connect you have to adhere to the Creator and if you want to go in faith above reason you adhere to the Creator, if you want to hug a friend and you have resistance, you go to the Creator. Actually what we're doing is building a system of prayer, of constant prayer through of course the connection of our Ten, so how essential is this building of the system of the prayer? How can we help each other to build the system of the prayer, to delve deeper into our connections?

R. I cannot answer you, I cannot answer. your questions are very serious and are advanced, I do not know if we can already Implement them, we need to scrutinize. Maybe ask more.

S. I'm wondering because you cannot adhere to the Creator actually directing ,you always do it through our connection but to reach the connection you need the Creator, so it looks like and it feels like that you constantly what you want to achieve with the friends even if you want to annul you bump your head if you want to connect you bump your head so you are constantly drawn to prayer, to adhere to the Creator and that gives a good feeling because it feels like you've been driven towards Devekut (adhesion) with a dialogue with the Creator but you shouldn't do it directly we learn, so there is sort of a feeling that you're hanging in between?

R. Each of us is connected to the Creator in a permanent way, a personal way, an individual way. There's no question about it whatsoever the fact that we don't feel it that's because the Creator is not disclosing it to us and that's already something else, but each of us is connected to the Creator in a personal way and this is what we will discover gradually, each of us, where he has no problem with the Creator. the Creator is the closest there is to you there's no one closest to you, including your parents, your friend, your teacher, it doesn't matter who, besides the Creator. The Creator is in you, he revives you and he does everything, every step along the way with you meaning what you are yourself is a result of the work of the Creator upon you.

S. The Congress was really great, we came to lesson 3 and that was really super and then we came to lesson 4 about building the house of the prayer, and that gave such a great lack of what is this, and it feels that it is not being finished yet that part. I'm very grateful for that because it gives an enormous deficiency so what actually is this deficiency? What is this deficiency and what is left behind from the great congress?

R. We came out of the convention with having all kinds of groups and individuals around the world, but we cannot yet collect them into one bundle and into one place and that's why we still feel as a deficiency. Whereas, if we were to collect them together and assemble them together then we would feel that intensity of the vessel of Adam HaRishon, and that which fills it, which is the Creator.

Therefore, this is what's still missing for us. On the other hand I'm very happy that this deficiency is already felt. Because the the feeling of the deficiency is it condition for the revelation of the vessel, and it's as if we are in a state in which we cannot connect for the time being to one actual desire in order to feel ourselves in one form, in one feeling as one necessity as a mutual dependency, while there be maybe many words in this, the fact that we are starting to feel that this is what we are missing, that if we had a common problem which was among all of us a common pressure, a common lack of Creator then we would already be in our cry before the final correction. I hope we are coming closer to this, so this will come and we will work on this. I'm happy that this beginning of the feeling is already in us and we will succeed.

15. S. (01:20:59) What is the best reaction on our part that there is None Else Besides Him that you mentioned at the beginning of the lesson when the Creator brings us situations that strongly awaken our ego and that exact point that we have where we have no control or restriction over it so what does he expect of us, or remember what we're supposed to do?

R. The Creator expects only one thing from us, for the request, a request, for us to turn to him and for us to constantly demand. What do you expect from us that are demand will be to him each time more and more organized and gradual for us to understand how to turn and what we need and what to give to us and so on because this helps an obligates him to give us things gradually, to give us the things that we need to grow with and for us to advance with. Therefore besides our request to the Creator there is nothing and that is called prayer. In that prayer we need to invest immense forces in order to understand and feel what we are truly lacking and raising in prayer.

S. I would like to add it's like it's a scenario that he plays around us and we don't want to play with that and we want just to take and mess everything and not to see that. He's in front of us and behind us like all around and bringing situations that we are always trying to avoid so it's like he's provoking us.

R. Very nice. That's exactly at the Creator is giving us all kinds of obstacles, it's like he's tripping us like we say on our way, and we need to discover that and to know how to convince him not to do that or to circumvent and go around that tripping foot and think how we are going to do that ourselves but these are the things upon which we grow. Where we understand from all these games how to behave correctly with the upper force, we learn from him how to be like him.

S. Thank you and I would also like to say that I'm very happy to be here today. It's like a gift from you.

R. Thank you.

16. S. (01:24:59) We heard you say the truth is there's no difference between spirituality and corporality, none, with that in mind here's a question from our Ten. How does our corporeal life reflect our inner spiritual states?

R. We have to say that it is connected to it, belongs to it it atributes to it ,it influences it . of course one influences the other, both corporeality to spirituality, and spirituality to corporality, Thereore, we need to arrange these things so that more of less so that it will be in a way that first of all, they will not disturb one another, and also for them not to be disconnected from one another. Also for them not to be as one, where you can change and influence one to the other. I see that we nevertheless get along with this more or less. It works out for us and it's not dependent on some environment or is dependent on the environment that each of us is in, but certainly there are many actions here that one doesn't do, makes the other, the third one and so on.

We are all one in the whole world. We have people here that are from Australia and they are impacting people that are from people from South America and from Europe, and the Far East. Meaning, there is truly one mechanism that's working here and one is impacting the other and everyone. We can see that our whole mechanism basically is becoming one, more over the spiritual system. Hence really hope that we during this time that we are going to be dispersing after the convention that we will nevertheless remain more connected to one another and feel how our obligation not that we want and we don't even understand yet but we must be together in mutual bestow and think together because this mutual dependency becomes more and more tangible and felt.

17. S. ( 01:29:03) It's so subtle how our corrupted nature is hiding inside of us, sometimes you can cover it and you can catch it but most of the time no. How can we become aware as much as possible of these states in the Ten, these corrupted states in the Ten. Is it by recognizing the evil Within us?

R. Also yes. You will advance very well. I'm really hoping within a short period of time you will feel everything that's happening here. It will be good.

18. S. (01:30:21) We've been through a wonderful Congress in many states, Nevertheless we have to go back and start working in the Ten as a daily routine. How to reach such an incorporation that each time we expand our perception of reality inside the Ten?

R. It is written that they should be new in your eyes. Meaning that you will feel daily that you are new. The Creator is new and the relationship between you is new. This is how it will cascade. What to do? First of all the lessons, besides the lessons correspondence and communication with the friends at least in the Ten.To the extent that we notice them that yesterday we didn't notice them but today they are important to us. and so on meaning constantly look into what else we can come to the vessel of one circle with, that is it. this is what you have, whoever is capable can come to hear to us and to be here for a few days or weeks, a week or two, let's say now we have before us the Passover holiday coming up, the holiday of exiting the exile from the desire to receive to the desire to bestow. We can also come here. I think we already opened up the list to those who want to come who are also here. There are a few hundred people here that will be able to come, what else? I don't know, here are many factions and groups that are studying, try to put together all these actions, all the groups that impact and advertise, that's it.

19. S. (01:33:48) I have 10 fingers and they all work to attain the same goal, and when I do something with my 10 fingers I don't count them and I don't feel them as 10.

R. That's because you have a head above them and the head defines what needs to be done, and it's not that the fingers themselves are smart and think what to do. Rather the head decides how to operate them to work with them to attain the goal, it's the head that decides.

S. Yes, but we spoke about the feeling of the 10, the feeling of 10. What is 10 in our feelings?

R. Ten is a whole number and there cannot be a connection between the Creator which is the highest and the created being which is the lowest. Rather unless it comes through these 10 stages, these 10 degrees and steps, and then when these 10° exist and are connected to one another, then there's a connection between the Creator and the created beings and between the created beings and the Creator. Therefore, we need to be concerned with their constantly being an evaluation of the connection of the Creator with the created beings through these 10 degrees. Keter, Hochman, Bina, Hesed,Gurra, Tifferit, Netzach,Yesod and Malchut. These are the stages that they're very important in understanding and recognizing and in connection between them and the differentiation between them, if we were to incorporate the differences between them and begin to feel ourselves in that difference and not really capable of existing there. There we will begin to inevitably connect them and arrange them, 10° and 10 Sefirot are the main things. There cannot be a connection with the Creator and the creative beings unless it is through coming down through these 10 degrees.

S. (01:37:13) You said in the beginning of the lesson that it's impossible to express myself except through the other. Can you explain more why I can't express myself but only through the other?

R. That that's relatively simple. If I was the only person in the world then how would I think about myself and how would I express myself. How would I understand the other and what if I were not to meet with someone, something, only if there's a person and someone against him or in front of him then we are capable of expressing ourselves and understanding the other through myself. It's a very interesting thing. I never see a person, I see a difference between him and the others and also myself I don't see. I see just like a child doesn't know himself, rather when he grows, he begins to compare himself with the others through envy, lust and honor and then he begins to get to know himself.

S. It's possible to ascribe to this action of self-expression through the other, the prayer for the other?

R. That comes later but not immediately and it's not simple but yes, we do come to that as well.

20. S. (01:39:33) If I want to be incorporated in another friend to enter her, can I ask to be included in those qualities? Can I ask the Creator to help me connect to each and every friend and each and every quality in each and every friend?

R. You can ask. How much that will succeed I don't know, because in such a way that you ask to connect with someone there is a big desire to receive which is egoistic. It's best to nevertheless try and connect with the 10 or more correctly try to annul oneself towards the 10. That is more successful.

21. S. (01:40:50) Following the scrutiny about the system of prayer, as a group and as a 10 we are going through several scrutinies and several states. At the end of the lesson we scrutinize between us a common prayer and we compose it. With which kind of scrutinies should we approach that prayer?

R. It is written and they should be new in your eyes. Each day should be a new day, a new prayer and you will feel yourself as a new person and a new Creator and everything new. Therefore, that is how you need to relate to life. To life, to one self, to the friends, to the group, everything new. A truly new day arrives and that's it, continue that day and scrutinize like that and don't be afraid. Day after day, it should be new in your eyes.

21. S. (01:42:32) I want to continue with this talk of the one mechanism, sometimes a person has this thought of where am I and what am I doing, how can I determine my correct place in the mechanism? I try to continue going above reason in this, but I don't know if I can truly find myself correctly.

R. I think you have the right actions you're going on the way, of course there are constant mistakes, that's how the study takes place just like when we are young and we are growing and just from trying to do something and not being capable of doing so.

Therefore I think that you your advancement is very correct and good, and we will continue in this, we need to just work mainly on strengthening the friends, the strengthening of friends. There is between us many strong friends, we see the goal in the path and the group and the importance of us all together and of the system and there are those that don't quite feel that and specifically in those that don't feel it there is a greater evil inclination, meaning as far as their matter they are heavier, and eventually they will be more important but now along the way it is hard for them to uplift. Hence where we need help each will help his friend to constantly think how we all together advance and how each of us holds the other and grabs the other and drags him and pulls him just like mountain climbers. These rock climbers who connect themselves to one another and that's how they can rise higher and higher. otherwise there's the danger of them falling, it's the same with us.

The main thing that we're feeling in the stage right now is that we must be more connected to one another, where all the where all our groups in the world were feel that we are doing one job and it's not that this group is successful in the other one isn't and this one's like this and this one's like that, all of us become one group. The success is dependent on everyone. if we move to that then we will with certainly succeed very soon. That is what we are missing to make from our tens our individual tens one ten, as much as possible it doesn't matter even if it's just a little, just to understand the Nefesh, he soul and the general group is more important than the NRNHY in an individual group..

S. I simply cannot know I want to be in this entire mechanism. How can I overcome this?

R. You are advancing everything is before you knowing is stopping you although maybe you think that this bothers you or that one bothers you they are not disturbances what is revealed before you these are not disturbances but rather forces that stabilize the path for you and each time you are being corrected according to the purpose of life just participate as much as possible more participate with the whole world clean vessel specifically by engaging in that in which we engage in this is how we advance. You are a very special group, the Turkish group. I'm very happy and I'm very thankful to the Creator for disclosing this part of our vessel and I really hope that with this group groups help we will all advance because certainly the group this feeling that is in this group the perception that is in this group the power of male and female especially that has been revealed to us is truly praiseworthy you are strong and you need to break through break ahead I am happy that you are with us.

S. A question for my friend who's in the Arvut system, When a person connects with his friends he feels a great power and the power to bestow. The problem is that I cannot bestow to my friends the way they bestowed to me and I also feel great shame for my petty acts against him. What can we do to make bigger acts?

R. You are saying exactly what abash Rabbash writes in his articles. The fact that you don't feel you just don't feel. Also in our regular life, sometimes I am in a state in which people say why don't you feel what is exactly happening. I didn't notice it at all so that is how it is. That is how it happens.

What to do? First of all, what the mind doesn't do, time will do. Where you will feel with time how everything works. We are in a big vessel and all of its parts need to influence one another so it'll work out. I just like the topic of the lesson is connected. It's not simple but each of us need to leave it in his individual way to do something in his place in the world and in the group he belongs to, the country belongs to, in every possible way. He needs to perform certain actions in order to bind us into one Ten where we will feel all of ourselves as in one mechanism. one system, one Bnei Baruch. This is very important. We will support one another and reach very quickly the purpose of creation. Baal HaSulam doesn't talk to us the last generation for nothing. We are the last generation according to our structure. We just need to add to it so,e effort to get it into our awareness. Let us hope that this is what will happen.

22. S. (01:54:15) Can the law of Arvut be revealed in the Ten out of my individual work or only through common work?

R. Only together. Only together in our common effort. That is why it's called an act of connection, an act of correction, a mutual action. The main thing is the Arvut, Mutual Guarantee.

S. How in our daily work in the Ten will it include the world Ten?

R. This will happen through common work and mutual work, in dissemination, in the study and serving other people. That is one thing, the other thing is to simply be together, correspondence in a lesson. I noticed that there are people here that everyone knows,everyone is close to them because they do something that is important to everyone. Try to show yourself that you're doing all kinds of things that people come to rely on and that people will turn to you for it as much as possible. The main thing that we can do is dissemination. Dissemination is to go out to different circles, other people for a more distant from the wisdom of Kabbalah. You don't even need the wisdom of Kabbalah. You don't need to talk about it . Today the world is so, is in such systems and changes that even without saying the word of Kabbalah, that would only confuse people only by telling them that you need to connect and that we will reach a better life like that and so on and so forth relative to children, to parents already are pulling them towards a certain degree of connection. The world doesn't need much more than that.

23. S. ( 01:57:25) I heard you say earlier that the world is operating for the sake of everyone, … My question is what changes happen in the friends for me looking at him that way?

R. I give him an example on how to behave correctly towards the others, if I give him an example for how to relate nicely to everyone and how to bring everyone closer in the right direction that I think that he will also work according to my example to others and they will do the same to others and if this will keep going this way we will reach correction. The correction doesn't come from passing these actions physically from one another. The correction comes from this inner mechanism, spiritual but we will see how it is going to be realized actualize.

S. What if I bestow from within ?

R. You can say that it is similar to that material that works from within. Material that works from within.

24. S. (01:59:33) One question from NY, she heard you say that the group that gathered here in Israel will advance greatly, were you making a distinction between those who are here and Israel physically during the Congress and those who are connected virtually? She was connected virtually.

R. Look, when I used to live in Rehoboth in 1975 I would come to Rabash every morning to study as usual at 2:00 in the morning or close to 3:00 sometimes. This was going on until he talked to me and said you should move closer to me although I had a car and at night to come from Rehoboth to Bnei Barouch it was a 20 minute drive. Nevertheless that's what he said, it also had to do with the Sabbath but you're not allowed to drive. What can I tell you, that was back then. There was no internet, no lines of communication, to come from one country to Israel to advance in the wisdom of Kabbalah, it is an important step and there are many men and women who did it. When it's truly serious I support it, no question, a person has to check himself. Is it right and not that he's just just jumping on to this wagon and jumping off. I cannot tell you there are many people who moved within Israel. to Bnei Barach and Petah Tikva came closer to us for the same country and then left, and there are those who came from afar with us that are close to us and they continue their families here, with their children. That's what I want to say that there's all kinds.

S. I'll just refine the question. The friend said she thought you heard you saying that those who are physically in the convention in Israel would advance more meaningfully than those who were connected virtually. She wanted to know if that was correct or not.

R. That is also true. There is a difference, after all. There's a difference in the influence, there is a difference between how our bodies receive influences from all directions, from the air ,from everything. Those who are here physically certainly had an opportunity, not that they were impressed more, but they had the opportunity to be impressed much more than those who are here physically.

S. My next question has to do with the impressions, it was a very emotional experience and emotional Congress that opened up our hearts and it revealed disconnection and overcoming. We truly felt like we are in one heart from all of these impressions so how can we move in the direction of NRNHY of one ten as you were saying when we aren't in the midst of all these very strong and emotional impressions? How do we move forward in that direction?

R. The fact that you can be connected to us to all of our events, the morning lesson, afternoon lesson, the gathering of friends. It gives you the same opportunities to continue with us. Not to stop or come down from this level of progress. I don't think that someone who is abroad, if he is with us and connected to our system that he is advancing less. We see where in this group of Turkey, how much they want to be with us. Look at them and look at how advanced they are. It all has to do with the desire that is one thing additionally as we discuss today. we have an opportunity to accept you whenever you want to come here just write to us and we will make room for you all of our systems will be working for you you'll be able to come and be here let's say the closest to the time coming up is Passover 13 or 10 days you can come here and be here with us. We will organize a series of lessons and actions and evenings of all kinds of things we can also record at your request so I'm waiting for you.

25 S. (02:07:53) Good morning to everyone and health everyone and joy what is a 10 as a unit of bestow. I will share in short we have every Friday a conference and which necessary both groups from Russia and Ukraine prepare this and they made four times a week look for materials they choose a topic. The number three from Ukraine always prepares a summary for the week and it really connects us both men and women every Friday, We makes it work with each Ten works a unit, There  are 10 Ten, This Friday we will have an act for Purim and we invited all the Russians speakers and we all do this with great joy and bestowal, Is that the sam with same unity that we are talking about now? 

R. Yes,very well send me an invite.

26. S. (02:10:08) Here is the question: If one of the members of our ten decides to join another ten, how should I relate to it as the Creator’s will or was it a lack of work on my part?

R. It's hard to say I cannot answer. You need to look at each and every state and see what is happening there in every situation. Perhaps it's the friend's fault or I'm at fault or I'm at fault, It is not simple, it is not a simple thing. To change Tens it says something, it points to something, that something is wrong, something is off. Why would she need to change tens if there are no signs, no clear reasons for it, justified reasons for it. I don't know, I don't know. I cannot say but just like it is a red flag, we have to get into it and explain it to ourselves

27 S. (02:11:50) All lesson long I see that you are talking about all the groups having to become one group, one ten, how does that need to happen in actuality?

R. In actuality you have to think about it, how to connect as one man in one heart where eventually ultimately it is a step forward towards the purpose of Creation and we are not getting shut in our Tens. We spoke about the ten for many months now, we read about it in many places we are accustomed to this style and now we have to talk about the whole world as one ten so we need to find excerpts that support it wherever we can read it, study it and relate to ourselves in this way because after all what kind of difference is there between a group that exists in Japan or China compared to a group in Moldova and Kazakhstan or Africa or South America. I don't know, I've been to many groups like that and I didn't feel drastic differences, changes, such great distance between one another so let us think about it.

S. It's not clear, until today, lately it has been that we work in our individual ten so now what is the innovation in the form of our work? What does it mean now to feel a world ten when I have my individual ten and all the work is done in my individual ten?

R. The change is that I need to minimize, reduce my work in the ten towards one source that's one man in one heart and one Creator. All of us together. This is my Ten. That is how I need to now approach and see the entire global reality of Bnei Baruch also as one Ten. Let's try to see if this is possible or not, let's see what's possible because the world now after following this war will move towards connection. It will move in that direction. Certainly there will be along the way for several years perhaps all kinds of disturbances but the world is fast becoming as one body. We need to get to know this structure, feel it, demonstrate it, and how Bnei Baruch are talking about it. They want to see it happening and are pulling all of humanity in that direction towards that.

S. How in parallel to my work in the Ten do I also join my work towards the world? How to be in parallel also in my Ten and the world Ten?

R. You as one for the sake of the other.

S. How?

R. My personal ten, my individual group is working in order to publicize to the whole world the fire that is burning in us to feel everyone as one ten. The fire that is burning in us to feel as one Ten.

S. To continue the same direction, one of the things that really stood out in the convention is that you are in a certain flow where everyone connects with everyone and it doesn't matter whether you're in it, whether you like it. and one of the of the things that stands  that you are so inside your Ten is that you are truly closed in it and you don't see beyond, it truly closes you in inside so to see despite that despite the individual group we do in the still continue to develop that feeling towards the world Ten that at one Ten that world Ten.

R. If we talk about it, if we disseminate it, if we grow it and raise this great world Ten, that has to bring to the world a state of correction and the Creator that will be revealed specifically in it as or from within it as the king of everything. Then I see that we started from one TEN and before that I studied for myself. The important thing I need is to see all in reality that both men and women and children, everyone in the world. I have to see them as one man, and I have to put pressure on myself and try to approach him to get to know them.

S. What needs to be before my eyes all the time to kind of strengthen that connection inside of my one Ten?

R. I think that the world right now will begin to turn in one direction. This war that's going to nevertheless reach a conclusion will bring us to a state where most of the world will recognize that there is no more room for wars. There's no room for one person to jump on someone and try to overpower someone that is against someone. We have to allow each and everyone to live in their place within their framework his culture, His education, His language and no one is oppressing the other

S. Does everyone Ten in its individual work add to the one Ten?

R. This desire. How it builds inside of it that cell and from the cells we compose ,compile we can construct this general body. That's how we grow up.

S. How does this connection happen to the one Ten? How does this practically happened what do we do to start to live in the one Ten?

R. It is to start connecting the tents and then somehow exist and along the way when we advance to the next stage you'll see how the circumstances are and through them hundreds of thousands of people …Still feel that they are in one system it'll work out because we'll enter into one flow with nature so we'll see how it simply works out beautifully I wouldn't say anything about it unless you'll see how it'll start to talk about it all over the world and the media and everyone will.

S. Thank you…. in the convention we weren't in our attention it's kind of like a it's like a lungs that are inflating and constricting again and it's this breakfast that happens with everyone and the question is if now we can and this work that we are doing together to begin to work with other times? everything share that

R. I don't want to get into all kinds of orders and actions between tens and above tens between the countries the languages and so on and so forth just a ton of work and I don't recommend you to work through it brush through it.

S. How do we refine..

R. The most important thing for us is to know that ahead of us there's only one 10 and there's nothing in the world except for …

S. .. in order to be capable of working between the 10th in the tense truth is that it gives me like to fear of heights looks like we need to go back and.. read it like a 10:00 and do again the same work on a higher degree is that so?

R. We will continue and see along the way the action itself will accompany us will push us in the right way on to the right path.

S. Before the Congress we had a very strong preparation in the tents we prepared really well the entry to the…. to implement our goal now after the convention is a feeling in our hearts that a ten sustained you and that Creator sustains it and the whole vessel is you together, there's a certain inner revolution that you talked about is it enough to hold on to the feeling in our hearts in order to continue the work or do we need something else additional.

R. I don't know. I think we need to be in connection between us and the lesson or lessons are becoming more practical. How to come to the final state, how to come to a state where the upper light will work on us, how the upper light will crystallize into one Ten eventually and then we'll see how the Creator is revealed from within us and it's pulling us towards the center point of creation. The heart of Adam HaRishon and that is it. That is what will happen ,we will feel these actions of him or us. I'm very happy that the German group was revealed this time ,strong. Made of people that understand I feel are serious about the study, well done. I'm very happy about it.

28. S. (02:28:20) In the work in the ten there is a certain necessity to have this refined inclination is this fear that we would spoil something with the friends. In the work of the ten do we need to have some meetings approaches in philosophy or psychology because we are all different, there are delicate people and there are crude people and maybe the crude people can somehow influence the refined people think it is ruining it for some and they could leave.

R. This is true on the one hand and on the other hand it’s incorrect because ultimately all of us, all of us, are learning through the reforming light. If it is taking a long time it's a different story but in the end we are under the influence of the reforming light and this light softens us it kind of divides us it makes us into anything it adapts us to it, to itself, it's only patience and together and we will change I think within months, six months, you will feel yourselves in a completely different place, a different level, different perception in feeling of the forces of the world differently, you’ll see that world is more transparently, you’ll see as it is written from one end of the world to the other, that’s what we’ll have. We will do it, we will do it together. More and more think about the discernments that the wisdom of Kabbalah brings us and try not to attach to it our corporeal discernments that we are accustomed to, okay?

S. If I can add a little bit more. There are friends in the ten that give us a very great example, somewhat that example does not influence the other friends, they don’t notice that example, they’re not impressed by it.

S. You’ll connect. There is nothing to do. I am looking for reasons because I can come up with a thousand and one reasons by myself, rather I see if it’s not working I am not using it, that’s it, there’s nothing to do. I don’t want to be smarter than nature, rather if nature, the Creator, the process we’re going through, does not clothe in us correctly I accept it as incorrect, that’s it.

S. Thank you. I also want to thank you for this warm meeting here, for this home, both corporeal and spiritual, we felt really in one home and one heart, we received so much love here. We'll take it with us and pass it onwards to our tens. Thank you.

Info: I want to update that our train is marching down to the final correction and toward the convention we are getting closer to the next station which is Passover, a week it is going to be here a mega event of meals of lessons of connection of celebrating our redemption from our ego, so we really want to invite all the friends all of our men and women. This year Passover is between April 5th and April 12th. We'll have more precise details about this spirit, in the coming days we’ll look at everything and advertise everything, you’ll be able to sign up and come and we'll have much more than we had in the congress, L'Chaim, so we will finish with a song in a moment.
