Morning Lesson May 2 2021 Transcription
1. Rav’s Introduction: This is the topic that we think for now that would be the last topic before we enter the study of the wisdom of Kabbalah itself TES, so let's see what's with it written here. Let’s try to get incorporated with the study of it and behave according to its recommendation because through that we will be able to understand what's written in the holy books in the books of Kabbalah. Kabbalah books are sold everywhere there's no problem, there's no need to hide them, the secrets in them are written in such a way that not anyone reading the book understands what is the secret. Rather one who doesn't understand does not even understand what he does not understand. They're open accessible freely and it's not that I'm taking the book into my hands and I'm already touching the secrets, the goodness of nature, of the universe, the world, that I come and I touch the Creator. No, none of that happens rather it all depends on how much a person is ready inside to open his heart according to the Creator and then he will feel what he is trying to tell him through the words in the book. That is really the connection that can be between a person and the upper force.
Through the texts the Kabbalists have left behind for us and for the attitude towards these secrets of nature towards Divinity, it's a very particular approach. We have to be positioned and arranged very specifically for us to reveal it like the wave of a radio receiver, we have to calibrate it, until we patch what is being broadcast in here, what is being talked about. Similarly we have to shift and turn our senses until we get to feel inside of them just special incorporation that we get that way and in it we begin to hear what the Creator is telling us and we capture it. To turn our knob means that together in our 10, each one in his 10 we need to find such a connection inside of it, we capture that wave, and in it we begin to hear the voice of the Creator, the voice of God. The voice also it's not the boy, like a voice in this world but it speaks in us and we feel it, we are impressed by it, understand it gives us the strength to do what it says. So let's try to understand from these excerpts before us how do we arrange such a connection between us that we capture the waves that comes to us from the Creator and have to enter us and arrange us and have to bring us to the right calibration so we will be calibrated towards the Creator that waves that attitude.
So that whatever he wants will enter into us and we will open ourselves up to his address to us, the Creator is a thought, a force everywhere. It is beyond time and space so whenever we are ready for it we can capture it. We can capture what he produces according to the degree of our equivalence to him, to the extent of the percentage we can adapt ourselves to and to be connected to him as one because he is one and a bestower like him. Because he is a bestower so it turns out that we will be as one between us connected and bestow between us to one another and then even if we can carry those conditions out even 1% of it connection and bestowal we are already captured the Creator, receive the Creator according to equivalence of form and he will be felt enough as existing the revelation of Creator to the creature in this world.
Excerpt 1 (06:58 - 09:50) Twice
2. S. (09:59) In our young 10, we want to know in order to connect between us. What does the study of TES add to us? Is it not enough to study the articles of Rabash and learn how to connect between us?
R. No. Studying the articles that we have learned and we have learned a lot. We can say that we read all of Baal HaSulam's articles, all of Rabash’s articles, even other writings of Kabbalists, it's not enough. It's not enough because in these articles we have certain kinds of explanations, fragmentary explanations that elucidate the certain state but don't provide the connection between root and branch. What we need to get from the study of TES is the connection between root and branch. We will discuss what's written in TES and instead we can imagine, what are the actions, that are actually taking place, between the desires and the light. This barely exists in an organized fashion, cause and consequence. In the articles you cannot depict it. The study of TES portrays us from the beginning of creation, how the light expands and builds the desire, and the desire is arranged by the Light and goes through different changes. It moves away from the desire because it develops in such a way until it comes to certain forms of connection and separation. All these things we should depict inside of us, how they happen. Accordingly we will develop the forces within our soul. When we learn it, we will see. It will not be some superficial study where we learn what's written in the book, rather, we will learn about what's going on inside of us. I truly hope this is how we will learn. At least we will truly try to learn in this way. Then we will come closer to the truth, what the wisdom of Kabbalah is truly talking about. When a person opens up the wisdom of Kabbalah, what can he hope to attain, to feel, to open up the upper world?
3. S. (14:01) What frequency can we be with the Creator, what is the frequency?
R. The frequency we will determine later. It is all according to our efforts. As much as we want, really, because the upper light is an absolute rest. How can you understand absolute rest? It includes all the forms and to go from one state to the other, it doesn't change. There's simply no time in it and if I enter the upper light and wish to attain it in one to another form compared to another or a third form, then it's up to me to change. I am still in this world and have to arrange myself towards the perception of the light in a certain form and it takes time for me, the concept of time, the preparation for grasping the light in one way or another. But the light is not changing. Not in quantity or quality, it’s the light of Ein Sof, it includes all the forms and there is no difficulty to respond to our desires, our requests, all at once and all of them. It's already in it in the form of one. Unique and unified. The light itself is not made of any forms rather all the forms are revealed relative to the receiver.
4. S. (16:20) When is the 10 ready to receive the light of Shechina?
R. The light of Shechina is called ‘the collection of Lights,’ NRNHY. They appear in the created beings who are connected in 10 Sefirot. If we connect to something somehow resembling 10-parts who are ready to be as one, relative to the Creator, although we are 10 but our collection, we want it to appear to the Creator as one. Then it turns out that by that we acquire in each quality of our 10 qualities, certain impressions, certain illumination from the Creator and the sum total of this impression gives us the feeling of bestowal from Him. This is called ‘one light,’ we will work on it. The important thing for us, nevertheless, is the problem of our connection. Let's hope that we will see that only this is ahead of us. That we must be connected and then we will be able to take a few steps in that direction. We will pray to the Creator and in this way we will succeed.
5. S. (18:33) Is this kind of connection when the lights of the NRNHY appear?
R. The connection between us has to be when we need to feel ourselves as belonging to one desire although we have different desires, we support one another 100% because we share one goal and we are connected towards the goal. We all need to help one another to complete, complement one another because the Creator has this calculation with all of us, not with any one of us. We need to overcome the gaps between us. If in place of those gaps we are able to complete or complement one another, then according to this mutual completion we enter one another in order to complete each and every one. By that, we connect from 10 to 1 and then we're able, we're ready to receive the upper light.
S. What does it mean that we complete each other?
R. I look at each and every friend, not as simply someone who's next to me or opposed to me. I look at him and I try to see how much, to what extent I can complete him and he can complete me and each one's 10 will do it until we become like a weaved garment, a crochet of sorts. Then we complete one another, we knit the vessel. This is how we advance towards the Creator, towards one light. We have to make ourselves make the 10 into 1. Then we say that ‘one receives one.’ The Creator receives from when we're connected and then we will receive from the Creator, who is one.
6. S. (21:27) I have difficulty understanding concepts with regard to the light. As far as I understand we can only get into interaction with the light, so what is the Creator? The Creator, we don’t know what that is, we’ll never discover it?
R. The Creator you come to know through His bestowal, just like how you get to know each and every friend. You don't know the friend. You know how you accept him, how you receive a certain bestowal from him. And you receive and bestow to him, you learn his reactions. That's how you get to know him, same thing with the Creator. The Creator, BoReh, come and see. You have to come and see and then you know Him just like with the friends.
S. What you said, this can be related to the light as well. The light is my impression from the Creator, so I'm only in touch with the light?
R. We will start to get into it and start to work on it, then we'll have to talk about it -- until then it is all theoretical. I don't like to discuss these things that are before but have not clothed in us, realistically.
7. S. (23:22) Is it possible to clarify, how do we complete each other in the spiritual world in the 10? What is the example?
R. We have many examples in this world where we complete one another. Also, relative to the upper world, we go and profit off of one another. We have to complete one another in the building of the vessel each has to be included in 10 parts. These 10 parts, when they complete and incorporate in one another, we get, in each one, an incorporation from 10. And 10 times 10 is 100. 100 specific, individual qualities in the vessel. There are also 10 people who are also connected through various forms of connection. You get 10 times 10 which makes 100. So each complete vessel includes 100 discernments. We will learn about it, this is called a Partzuf. It changes each time because to the extent each one requires changes on the way to resembling the light, so these 100 qualities that assemble and complete one another, they change and they grow until the Creator is revealed in them more and more until His final form, called the end of correction.
8. S. (25:34) How should we come to feel Divinity, that we are connected?
R. Shechina, Divinity, is what we assemble between us from our corrected desires. This is in our hands. Whereas the Shochen, the dweller, the Creator, the part of the Creator that clothes in the Shechina, the vessel that we establish there, He is called ‘the dweller,’ the dweller inside Divinity.’ That's how it is. The correct connection between us that we wish to arrange between us emotionally, as much as possible, this connection will bring us to the degree of the Shechina. And then according to the equivalence between our relationship and the Creator, we begin to feel inside the web of connections between us, the dweller, the Creator. This is called ‘the revelation of the Creator to the created beings in this world,’ which is the definition of the wisdom of Kabbalah.
9. S. (27:19) What did you mean when you said we belong to a single desire? We have different desires, so what does it mean?
R. I don't know what I meant. Maybe I meant one intention, I don't remember what I was talking about. You have to bring that one or several lines and then I can tell you.
10. S. (27:52) About the calibration we have to do to capture the wave the Creator broadcasts. What do you think is more correct to feel this, as a result of the pandemic, and it prepares us for TES and so on?
R. We are in a world that advances quickly towards its final state. We feel how much, from day to day, we get changes in us and in the world around us. So we need to hurry up! That's all I can say.
S. Our role is to capture the wave or we also transmit it, broadcast it?
R. Our job is to receive the wave that comes to us from the Creator through our vessels of bestowal according to the equivalence of our vessels, then from us to change it, to adapt it, so it can be received by all people in this world, wherever there are people in all forms and all degrees. It doesn't matter who he is, white, black, red, yellow, to all 70 nations of the world, as we call them. We have to prepare the wisdom of connections, the wisdom of reception, the wisdom of the revelation of the Creator because people will want to be in it, they will truly want to be in it. Now we are entering some very difficult stages for humanity, both so you would suffer more. Humanity won't feel that it has the strength to go back and build and rebuild. Rather it would feel itself as not wanting it. Meaning it will have a recoil from physical work. It will want entirely to be aimed at inner emotional work, this will come. A few shake-ups and it will be here. Then we'll have to explain it in all languages to all people, all these states. How can we develop correctly, decipher them properly, and use them correctly, not to run away from them but to see that there is nowhere to run -- only in the correct usage to reveal the new degrees of the world in them. And for everyone to have a good, open, eternal world, a complete and whole world.
11. S. (32:03) In the excerpt, it says that the Shechina is all the discernments beginning with Malchut all the way through the creatures. So the creatures are already the correct desires, the complete, ready Kli?
R. The created beings in their corrected desires, meaning they're able to be connected between them, they create the network from their desires, from wanting to connect between them, this network, this web called the Shechina, Divinity, and what clothes in it is the dweller. The level or intensity of the dweller who appears in Divinity is exactly equal to the will to receive in the network, which is the egoistic desire. And to the extent that they repel, reject, resist connection, how above it ‘love covers all transgressions’ they do connect above them. There becomes a certain web that can absorb it and they can connect in the gap between hate and love that exists in the web, in that network gives us a certain parameter above the level of the revelation of the Creator.
12. S. (33:36) Which way should we arrange ourselves in the 10 so we can draw the upper light in the strongest way from the Creator?
R. It's all written in the writings of Rabash, I'm not sure what to say. He explained to us how we need to be connected. And each time these articles we see that we have what to add. So repeat it, read it. I don't have anything to add, typically, because they wrote everything. Rather each time we will come back or repeat their text in different states, accordingly we will discover the depth that exists there. But it all depends on our states.
13. S. (34:54) We are trying to connect between us in the 10, to incorporate with each other. What depth do you need to have some Divinity will truly be there?
R. The connection between us is to be as one man with one heart.
S. If I understood correctly you said, I include myself in the 10 and they too are included in the 10.
R. It's all inside the 10 all of it. Don’t be confused about the connection between the 10s, it will dilute our efforts.
S. I'm talking about the 10, meaning to care about the incorporation of the friends and that they will incorporate with each other, yes?
R. Yes, this means that you are setting an example for what to do.
S. How does the Divinity appear here?
R. If we are connected enough between us or we wish to connect and we pray and the light comes and connects us, this is called the ‘light of correction.’ Later in accordance to how much hate we are in, mutual rejection, and how above that we connect between us, then none of the negative disappear and none of the positives extinguish the negative. The gap between their rejection and the connection remains. It gives us the level, the power of the vessel.
S. We have a certain degree of connection in the 10. What kind of rejection or hatred needs to be in order to overcome and reveal divinity?
R. Connections. You felt that you repel one another?
S. No, we didn't feel it.
R. So how can it be that you didn't feel any resistance and repulsion from one another? If you didn't feel that, it means that you didn't reach connection.
S. What kind of resistance? That I don't want to connect with the friends, now or I get no strengths?
R. No, strengths, no desire, no reason seemingly. The reason is not strong enough, big enough, important enough for me to invest in the connection between us. That's how it is, it has to be there. It can't be that there are people in this world alive and they just want to be connected. And in addition, it's not just to be connected but to be as ‘one man and one heart,’ on their level as much as it opens up. How can that happen, tell me what are you saying?
S. Everyone feels that to an extent so if we overcome it, it's a lever?
R. That's called the Aviut, the coarseness of the Partzuf. The more you advance there's more differences between you, arguments, all the way to hate, how you wish to kill one another. And then above, in spite of it, you're building the forces of connection, of love, support. In the gap between these two levels between hate and love, you can see that this is the level of our kli, our vessel. See how much we hate one another and how above that, by our teeth, we are holding onto the connection between us. If these two things exist together, simultaneously, we can extinguish each other but remain together. This means that we are standing on two legs left is hate, right is connection then we receive, acquire the revelation of the Creator in us within the gap between the two, the gap between hate and love. Just like every device, instrument we’ve ever built, there's the force of resistance and the force of connection, impulse to move forward, and we measure the intensity, there has to be darkness and on top of it, light. And we’ll see in the contrast between the darkness and light, we’ll see the state. That’s why the Creator is called BoReh, come and see, and includes two things because that's how we named it according to our attainment. Where we come from the darkness and we discover Him. The evil force on top of the good force so we would never be able to feel the good force.
S. We have this natural resistance. What does it mean that we overcome it correctly? That I don't want and still I connect to the zoom or come to the lesson. Shouldn’t there be some demand towards the Creator here?
R. If you don't have any true deficiencies for correction then what you ask of the Creator is worthless, it's a joke, it's just cries.
S. I mean that the natural lack of desire to connect, how do you overcome it, what do you aspire to?
R. Read together with the friends what Rabash writes and try, even when you don't want it, to ask the Creator to want to connect more and more. This is called ‘first by coercion and then by desire.’
S. Meaning?
R. I don't know, it's written nicely. We have to come to one another but in what? In the goal. When we wish to come to a certain goal and there we need to see ourselves incorporated together. That's how we attain the goal.
14. S. (42:39) Is it possible to discover an evil inclination and not hate it? How can we hate it?
R. If I feel the evil inclination is rejecting me from spirituality, then I hate it. I invest some strength and the evil inclination constantly pushes me, pushes me, and I didn't even enter any contact with spirituality. What can I do? That's why I begin to hate it until I can see which actions meanings I can skip over it reject it, override it. That's how it is.
15. S. (43:44) In the transition from Shechina in exile to the Shechina, what happens? Is there a slow transition of the Shochen that is starting to appear there? The beginning of the light appearing in the Kelim during the correction of the vessel?
R. The ‘surrounding light’ that came out of the vessel of Adam HaRishon, the broken vessel, its parts are broken, in opposition to one another. Between those parts, you find the will to receive in order to receive. The light is outside of the vessels called ‘surrounding light.’ We need to perform various actions in order to bring the broken vessels together and make them as one. They will not be as one, as they were in the state of Adam HaRishon, rather we have to make them as one. From that, we let the upper light appear in those vessels that we've connected together with all those phenomenon of the shattering in them. It turns out that we have worked on the vessels of shattering in order to connect the vessels above forces of separation. Accordingly the light returns into the vessels and becomes a multiple of the force of resistance. Just like any amplifier, there is this mechanism where because of its resistance, even the smallest form undergoes amplification and appears in the older one, in the grown-up. That's how instead of feeling the Creator as the tiny force of livelihood, before the shattering of the vessel, now after the correction of the vessel, we feel it 620 times more, greater.
S. When can you call it the Holy Shechina? Is it the end of the process?
R. Shechina, Divinity, is the corrected Malchut, receiving in order to bestow. The upper light that is ready then to clothe in it, according to our corrections called Shochen, or dweller or the Creator.
16. S. (48:17) You said that we will have to explain to humanity in all languages the coming states?
R. Not the way we are going through them, no. We will need to explain to all of humanity the general explanation. Humanity won't have to go through the same stages of correction as we. We are a special group who has to reach connection with the Creator and then through us, we ask the upper light to humanity. Humanity has to be engaged in one thing only to want to be a little closer to one another, that's it. That's how it advances, it is not that we are explaining our entire work to humanity.
S. The question is, how does each one personally prepare for this state already?
R. Right now we are preparing ourselves for the connection between us and only that. So each and every 10 will have a connection with the Creator. In each and every 10, there will be the revelation of the Creator. Each 10 will be a 10 of Kabbalist, like the 10 of Rabbi Shimon. That revealed the Creator, even to a small extent. We have many such 10s and we will be able to begin to bestow in practice to one another and to the whole world. And we'll learn how to do it. For the time being, we have to come to the correction of each and every 10 by itself. Of course with our external support, physical support of the other 10's.
17. S. (50:48) How to hold the state of wholeness within us?
R. Wholeness means one heart.
Excerpt 2 (51: 03 - 52:00)
18. R. The important thing is to connect all the friends to a 10.
19. S. (52:11) When a friend during the lesson asks a question from another 10 sometimes you really incorporate with him that you lose your 10 in your perception, how to work with that?
R. It's good that you feel this way, if you feel closely from a friend from another 10 but you have to see everything ultimately how can it benefit my ten, how do I connect through what I am hearing? How do I connect my 10 into one?
20. S. (53:04) I want to know the difference between the Shechina and the Shochen dweller.
R. The Shochen, the dweller is the creator that dwells in the vessel and the vessel the corrected vessel for the reception of the dweller is called the Shechina.
21. S. (53:31) Rabash gives us the feeling of the Creator and it passes through the heart probably it's the point in the heart but we always run into a state where without feeling the bad we cannot feel the Creator's. So the point in the heart includes both qualities of the Creator both connection and disconnection?
R. Correct. That's why it's called Creator BoReh, Bo Reh come and see, you don't attain something that exists up there, one unique force, unified force. You attain what you attain. Hence your attainment includes the darkness, your deficiency, your desire and that small light that you receive inside this deficiency. This all together is called the Creator for you.
S. The point of Moshe (Moses) it’s the same point in the heart in each and every one pulling him to the positive direction?
R. Let's say yes although we didn't talk about it don't skip ahead. Remain IN only what we are discussing.
Excerpt 3 (55:04 - 57:46) Twice Shechina in the Dust
22. S. (57:56) We choose the lower things?
R. Of course we choose what's the question here? We are always in choice because we are the will to receive, the will to receive chooses something each and every moment, what is the most optimal thing for it right now.
S. The choice, seems there is a choice and you can choose this or that and then you choose reception.
R. You're always speaking about exalting things. You’re choosing reception or bestowal. I am just existing in a certain state. What am I choosing to remain in this place for the next moment or to change it? It's already a choice. Each time I am in a state of choice.
S. How do you choose raising Shechina from the Dust? What does that mean?
R. The fact that I have to awaken myself to acts of bestowal like divinity. Divinity means a desire to bestow and I want my will to receive to acquire the form of divinity. Divinity the form of the will to bestow and in it the Creator can be revealed, clothed the Dweller. These are already corrections.
S. How to start the action of choice?
R. Choice in what?
S. Choice of connecting the pieces of the shattered divinity so the light of the Creator can well there.
R. Go ahead, it’s in the 10. We are all parts of the shattering. Don't look at the bodies, look at what everyone has inside. In each and everyone has a desire who is part of that Adam, that complete vessel. I have to connect my desire, his desire, your desire and so on and so forth until it covers all of humanity. Do I even want it? Of course not, so here I have to work on the importance of the matter, since nothing will pass really the pandemic and other calamities and great calamities will come to humanity until we understand that we have to connect the correction between us. All these troubles will be arranged in this way so that we will understand that only connection between us can fix everything. We will resist, reject this connection and then the war of Armageddon between our inner desire that wants nothing to do with connection and the fact that we have to connect or it will be bad for us in every aspect of surviving in this life and then people will see the depth of the will to receive that we're in the egoistic desires. Even when I am about to die, I nevertheless do not want to be connected. I hate him, this other person so much that I cannot take the potion of life from him, he is offering me medication, who is offering it to me? The one I hate I turn my back to him and resist the medication and I die can you imagine such a thing?
S. Yes and this is called choice?
R. You have a choice you can overcome your hate and approach him with your love with a recognition that he is doing good to you and take the medication taken and get better and connect with him with that other person and together with him go to a third person and a forth and the in this way convince everyone to receive, to take the potion of life. It will be very difficult, the pride that will rear its head in every person, the pride of a person will bring him down, he will not be able to resist it only when a person falls on the ground. As we read in the Zohar Rabbi Akiva says, the ground how hard you are, bowing down and we truly want to be zero. Then it will gradually help.
23. S. (01:03:27) What's the difference between the face of divinity in the ten and how it appears in the whole world?
R. It is a force of bestowal, the quality of bestowal an expression of bestowal between us. This is the meaning of the Shechina, divinity.
S. Is it possible they're all of creation being not corrected is it all inside my 10?
R. It is not that it exists in your 10 but your 10 can reveal this entire vessel.
S. So if I understand correctly I discover everything in the 10 and then I include everything there?
R. We'll talk about it will discover more variety in it
24. S. (01:05:01) What does it mean that rising everything to the root?
R. It's root meaning according to its nature, to seeing everything its original nature. This means to raise everything to its root.
25. S. (01:05:45) What does it mean that the heart becomes a place for the waste and filth it sounds very harsh and hard to digest, what does it mean?
R. Our hearts are our will to receive, is our will to receive there is nothing of the will to bestow in it nothing good in it, it is all bad but it's bad is revealed to a person to the extent that a person can deal with this bad and ask for corrections over it. That is why for the time being the heart appears as a little bad then worse and darker, black or more stinking until it is revealed as truly as the garbage bin of reality such stench that you cannot tolerate. So wait and you will see
S. Are we fighting enough to discover the evil between us, we're just not doing sufficient effort to connect?
R. Write down what you are saying, put a date on it and let's see what you will say in 6 months from now.
26. S. (01:07:27) What is the best help to the friend in ten?
R. Help, example, setting the right example.
27. S. (01:05:53) About the excerpt we said that the divinity appears only in connection but here it says she is trying to connect but the hearts are engaged in the waste and filth and so it's not just connecting we also have to clean our desire?
R. Otherwise how will we be able to connect if we don't cleanse our desires to some extent; how will we be able to connect. We are all dirty but some of this filth we are removing, we are cleaning and we can connect in these parts and all the rest remains filthy.
S. So what comes first the cleansing and then connection or vice versa?
R. First you have to reach the state of cleanliness because how will you connect? How will you become closer to someone who is opposite from you? You hate. First reach a certain level of cleanliness from your intentions to receive and the friend has to do the same and to that extent you'll be able to come closer to one another.
S. So all the actions happened in the ten we're 5 friends sitting together now we have to do this action of cleansing?
R. In order to bestow to one another so each of you will reach the goal and in the goal you will truly connect with each other into one concept and you will discover the Creator also as one if you will not be able to, you will not be able to reveal the Creator
28. S. (01:10:17) In our ten we try to connect the way Kabbalists teach but in a corporeal world it doesn't work exactly how we want it. 4 days ago we had a conflict with our neighbors about water and space. There were people who died, 30 people died, they say 150 people in the hospital. The struggles happened why does it happen we don't connect sufficiently in the ten?
R. The fact that you see it and in general and everywhere in the world these quarrels and conflicts between people these fights it's a sign that we still wish to rule each and every one with our ego. There is no one here who is right and no one who is not right, who was wrong in truth, all those things come from the Creator. That's why the fights between us will never reach justice or peace or come to connection, rather we have to understand that all those things both great and small, all the frictions come to us from above. It is the Creator who awakens them so we will understand that we have a problem not between us, not between nations or between groups or between different people rather the problem is with Him. He awakens this friction between us and He separates us. He is hesitant and that's why we have to turn to Him and demand connection and when we demand the connection.
When we demand, if he will do it according to our correct demand see that there is no problem, as it was before there will be enough water and land and nice temperature and dedication and everybody will have everything. Don't worry the only problem is in one thing that we should want the Creator to connect us. Not that we would want to connect that each one of us would want to connect with the Creator, but rather that we would want to be together and that the Creator will connect. If we can raise the appeal to the Creator this is the meaning of my sons have defeated me, I awaken in them I ignite in them wars and problems all the evil that I created evil inclination between them and I stirred up them and they take it to give them the force of connection above the bad, the good force and that's how they reveal me. I am concealed and they obligate me to show myself, where I specifically over the bad I have to show disclose the source of connection and love and that's how they discover me.
Therefore, around the world, in the most peaceful places in Northern Europe, Canada and all those places where people seemingly lived in peace will see such conflicts as it is written the enemies in a person are dwellers of his household to such a degree that those closest to a person his neighbors, his family, or citizens of the same inhabitants the same city in various sections of society we will discover how everyone hates everyone else no one can stand the other. This is the way we will reveal reality and in this way we'll see that only one force can bring peace to us in some form of safe, secure existence, he who makes these above will make peace on us. So don't depend on any reason, don't look for any reason for any conflict except for the Creator. He is doing everything so we will turn to Him and not by ourselves, he can't hear that but if you're a ten connect, ask for the force of connection, just as the force of connection should connect you it should also connect to others and you'll see that you're able to bestow to the place you'll begin to be in to bestow to a place without even talking to anyone and you'll see how they change towards you.
29. S. (01:17:19) How can we transfer my heart from the Tabernacle to the light of the Creator?
R. Only according to the connection between you. Leave all their hates, rejection, leave all it, you won't be able to erase anything. Only above it will you be able to form connections to the extent that there will be hate, the gap between them will suffice. What does it mean between the black and the white and hand and rejection, connection and love, between them the Creator will appear? Because both of these qualities come from Him and you only arrange these qualities and that's written you go to the craftsman who made me. You need only to arrange the correct attitude toward His manifestations. How such manifestations understand that it's all for us to connect the bus and to adhere to Him.
30. S. (01:19:17) To continue what you clarified before about how the will to receive is ready to die and not take remedy from an enemy and you also said there is a choice about it to transcend the hatred, because pride doesn't let you. And so this point of choice, how does the process of choice?
R. If we work in the ten not alone, then I'm under the influence of the ten nevertheless, each and every one is like that and we can rise above the personal calculations of each friend and determine a collective attitude. A common attitude. I don't have anything else to recommend besides that.
S. If it was easy to do we would already do it, so it's a sign that something is missing to make that choice?
R. These things are easy to do if we do them all the time. Not that I would recall those things once a week. Rather if I think all the time that this is what I would rather do, if I think that all the time this is what I have to do I get used to it. This is what I need to do. I need to turn, talk and ask and somehow remain connected to them and gradually I become accustomed to them and habit becomes second nature and it all depends how much we try nevertheless to bring ourselves back to the right thought. Although it's not wanted we nonetheless try and suddenly we see after three or four attempts this state that I don't want to hear about then suddenly I begin to discover that I have the opposite thoughts about it, how can it be? Before I used to hate him completely. Reject them outright and now it's as if he is becoming part of the matter. When I used to reject, I don't want to hear, I don't want to see he is making me mad, suddenly I began to feel no, it becomes part of the picture. Even though without this picture that is still against me but without this part I cannot see the complete picture and then I see that not only can I not see the complete picture without this part but actually need it as an ingredient and necessary ingredient and so on and so forth. That is how we begin to learn to work with the hate and with the love with these opposing forces and we see how everything has its place, it's not like in our world, intelligent people of our world, our managers, our presidents. Each and every country wants to destroy the other, they don't understand these countries, they will never be able to do it. That's not the direction of our development. Rather by ensuring everyone has a place.
S. In the moment that I am in is the moment that I connect with the ten that's the choice, the new line?
R. The choice is to be in the ten should be patient to the friends and toward the world and how to publicize to the world the method of correction gradually as much as we can. Just like a baby you bring him first one toy then another you hold him you care for him you bring him certain wisdom and so on and so forth. In short, it is careful treatment, gradual treatment of a population and we have to do it. We have to draw them behind us. But not for them to be like us, no, not like us because it's impossible they don't have such a desire, they don't have such an inclination. But nevertheless to try. Try to give them more and more direction. In the connection between the ten it finds its eternal goal.
31. S. (01:25:53) How to overcome our pride so we will be effective in bestowing to the ten, to the ten, to the world?
R. It said that the pride of a person shall humiliate him. We have to check ourselves constantly by way of our pride because that is the clearest discernment, most salient observation about our will to receive. Our evil inclination that says I shall rule, I know, I feel, I am the strongest I am the best, this is all the effort of the evil inclination, of our ego and to lower it humiliate it is very difficult. It's only by the society when we see unpleasant examples relative to ourselves how the others succeed, connect and relative to that I feel myself as miserable as being held back and more, I am incapable. So gradually I begin to see that I'm not so special as our ego is telling each one of us and it is rightfully so because each one has their own ego. So if that's the case everyone is special but he is special because from his corrected ego he will be able to make a very special correction in the world where there is truly nothing like It. Where each one adds his essential part to the mosaic, this general mosaic. To have a complete vessel, this is the work of our entire path until the end of correction. That is why we replace the struggle of the ego with the connection between us, with inviting the upper light to correct us because to work with the ego butting heads, face to face with it, to confront it frontally is something we cannot do. It is stronger, we were born in it we exist in it, with the Creator we receive only a few sparks of bestowal, it's not enough to face up to our ego. It's only enough for us to turn to the Creator and for Him to help us deal with our ego. Meaning our sparks are only enough to awaken us to prayer to the Creator and this way we will overcome our egos. By asking the Creator to deal with it, the Creator has to take care of it not me, and the Creator also says that I created evil inclination I created the Torah as the spice and the light in it reforms. So ask! The light will come and collect your desire to see. By that you will see where is the corruption, where is the correction, you will learn about creation from both sides, also be smart we will become excited about the entire depth of creation you will be above it similar to me. That's why you'll be called Adam, one who resembles me, a man.
32. S. (01:30:40) You said that we are inviting the upper light to correct our ego. Is there a difference between the force that we are asking to correct our intention and the forces connection in the ten?
R. Yes, basically it is the same. What does it mean to correct us, where do we feel that correction? The ego is scrutinized or clarified in the separation between us and its correction is clarified in the unification between us. That's it, that's it without the discernments of separation and remoteness we don't know what happens. We have to see it in practice. We have to create a closeness between us in our hearts, have we become closer. We should also see that by this we also become a little more sarcastic to other, more cynical because when we get closer, our bad desires don't disappear, they don't go away, we only compliment them. It is called love will cover all crimes, that the crimes remain and on top of them love. Meaning I bring closer contradicting two parts, that are contradictory to each other and they want to try to sting each other and between them I install a light of Hassadim.
Something that prevents them from beating each other up. But they all remain with the same contradicting instruments so what I position between them, what I placed between them is insulation. The connection between this is called the restriction, the screen and the reflected light and then the Creator who is revealed between those two opposite parts and this is how I discovered Him. This is called He who makes peace above makes peace upon us. Him I discover between our thorns and He arranges everything and organizes everything.
S. There feels like there's two steps, the first step is to ask for a correction in my relation in the thorns between the friends and the second step that he will connect all these thorns, all these contradictions together all these storms together. Is it two steps or one step?
R. Just work on both and you will see how it works out. There are several ways and paths so each one has his own path, his own trail, his own way but there are many trails and many paths. It is written about it, there are many trails to the location, to the place, that place is the Creator. There are many trails there.
33. S. (01:34:36) About our readiness to go above our ego in the group it feels as though it is difficult to humiliate your ego. I am willing for the group to work on my ego but is it possible? Because I can supposedly hide and say that I'm concerned about the friends and I'm so special and I have to be ready to lower myself for the fact that I am so great and my ego is hiding behind others. So, am I willing for the group to work on me or find a way to hide and lie to myself? Could you explain that?
R. We need examples from the friends and it is certain that you will discover how they lower themselves and how they are willing to help the ten in whatever way they can and it will give you examples, you too should set an example for them of how you are willing to serve them, to lower yourself. How much you are not afraid of showing your weaknesses and that's actually good. This is how it will work. What's the problem to open myself, that I am sick or ill, that's one thing. If you don't understand the material so much, you're not so good at learning the material that's another thing. A third thing is in spirituality how much I don't want, I can't, I'm incapable this is hard. But we have to see ourselves this way. How we reveal towards others bad examples and good examples. We have to see how we reveal towards others bad and good examples. As Rabash tells us, as Rabbi Yosi ben Kisma tells us that I can't, I mustn't be ashamed, Kabbalists give us examples of how, look at Baal Shem Tov, how he couldn't remember the shape of the and his descendants. I can't tell you what I saw with Rabash. The kinds of forms he was in, was in the kinds of forms that he was in when he didn't want to see anyone when he didn't want to do anything; he just sat there like a person who lost everything. I would walk in, walk around and he is sitting on the bed and I didn't say a word.
I came and I saw that his socks were on the floor so I took them and wanted to wash them. I hung his socks up to dry then I saw that there was nothing on the table. So I made something to eat for him and I placed it there. Including the fork and everything so that and the table next to him so that there was something there. All kinds of things like that. In other words in this way without words because words are kind of an infiltration into a person so without words I just wanted to do the work, I usually did but to maybe freshen him up a little bit in this way. Great people sometimes get such disconnections from life that they don't know where they are. They don't know where they are. Even physically they do not know where they are. I can't tell you about spirituality because I'm not in his world. So we need to build all kinds of support between us so that each one has a place to always somehow rely on, lean on society.
S. I consider myself, to lower myself I have a rejection from the ten. I can't just get up one day I just stay in bed. So this friend is saying, you have to write us, that you can't wake up. So it's a friend sees me physically we can do it without words, but if I don't wake up, they don’t see me then they can't hear me.
R. I will tell you this - the ten let's say they gather in their meeting for half an hour. Let's just say. You didn't go, you couldn't get up, you couldn't get close to them but sit alone at home and throughout this half-hour, write, I don't want to go to the ten why wouldn't write the whole story down. Write it down well, don't erase what you're writing, keep everything you wrote and keep on going, keep on going for the full half-hour you should have then with them. Including the road, everything you have to write. Your internal situation about why you cannot go over to them. What is it in you that is so against it? Maybe, you will suddenly come to a state where you see I have no choice but I have to turn to the Creator to help me to get up and go over to them. So how do you get up and turn to the Creator and He helps you do this and it's the Creator helps you, how would you get up and get dressed and leave the house and come over to them and when you came over to them, how you would connect to them. Let's say you would come in the last 5 minutes of the meeting, how you would walk in and may see you and yourself. And in what way you would be incorporated with them, write this whole story down. It will help you understand who you are and what the Creator is doing to you.
34. S. (01:43:01) When we discover those thorns and all those complaints about being late to the lesson and everything, what can we do? Do we just collect it all and let it go and walk in love is this is what we do when it's revealed?
R. Unless we understand the reason and the power of the transgression, we will also not understand how to correct it. How to turn to the Creator and what kind of correction there should be. So do not run away from the bad things and the bad situations. Rather bring them to scrutiny to the right analysis. What scrutiny can there be, what scrutiny can there be? The scrutiny is simple. I cannot overcome myself because I have a bigger will to receive than my mental powers, the scrutiny is simple. I cannot overcome my selfishness because I have a bigger will to receive than my mental powers. How do I overcome it only if the Creator adds to me from the powers of the soul so that I will be able to overcome so that I will have the power to overcome so I have to ask the Creator to do this for me and then begin to pray and in the struggle I don't want to stay at home like I'm used to. I won't go to the assembly but maybe I will go to the assembly but how do I do it and throughout the way to the assembly what will happen to me and when I sit among them. All those things you have to absorb and bring them to a conversation with a Creator. It is an inseparable part of revealing the Creator to the created being that you have to do. You have to pour out your heart and scrutinize it before you feel that you are really close to Him until you feel that you are really close to Him because of your weakness. This is the best situation.
S. (01:46:02) We understand that all these revelations come from the Creator comment that He gave us this gift. But how can we keep chasing the Shekinah in the heart and not in reason?
R. Tell each other how much you try to overcome the bad things. Tell each other about this. It will help. Each one. You will be able to be closer to each other and understand each other.
S. Not to touch these topics, these thorns which will be revealed are to go deeper.
R. Do not be afraid of getting in there, don't be afraid except for the revealing of hatred. Revealing of hatred can only be provided first of all you show connection, love and then when the hate is revealed at least you know what the Creator is doing with you. First you reveal love which is the quality of the Creator and then the hatred and then you discover why He did the hatred, why He made the hatred so you cover it with love. So if there's love first or hatred first depends on how you speak from above downward or from below upward.
35. S. (01:47:50) You said, to turn to the Creator from a state of weakness is the best way for a person. So it turns out that if a person prays from weakness he feels the love of the Creator that the Creator organizes everything. The question is how not to not lose this state and fall into pride and lack of confidence. How do we stay in such a state?
R. This is a matter of experience. You have to be connected to the Creator and this is through the ten. If you are incorporate to the ten then you begin to feel how and every situation everyone is present and then you have a series of all kinds of states that the create arranges from above so each friend has his own personal spiritual state and if you are incorporated with all of them then along with it you have a kind of dance from one to the other and all of us together.
S. So you go into the friends state, take their deficiency and it becomes my deficiency and then I can hold myself in such a state to stay on the same level as though I were on it.
R. Correct.
36. S. (01:49:20) What is this passage that a person goes from lowering himself to the discernments of the divinity below from his own sorrow to the sorrow of divinity. When divinity is in the dust.
R. Shechina is when he's not taking his own state into mind but the state of the ten.
S. Is there some special observation in the will to receive because every will to receive is a desire to connect money, knowledge.
R. I think you're confused, we're talking about people who want to unite among them so they will learn from one another how to do it and then they will be incorporated into one another.
S. What are the forces in us writing a prayer of story, why does writing help?
R. It helps us understand what we are thinking. Writing is deeper than just thoughts passing. When you write you check yourself. Are you truly in what you are writing about?
37. S. (01:51:06) What does it mean for a person to forget his name from the perspective of the will to receive?
R. When the upper light influences us it sometimes influences us in such ways that we lose the situation that we are in. Not just a little bit where we have kind of a leaning left or leaning right but sometimes we just exit. Out of bounds, out of bounds, of our tolerance right or left, and then we totally lose orientation of where we are, what we are, what's happening to us. It happens. along the way, it can happen to anyone but it's not a problem. We just have to understand that the best thing to do about this is to be incorporated in the society and return to the lesson. These things happen to me many times and I also went through them with Rabash and I saw that his direction for me was this sit and study, but I can't see anything, I'm confused - just study, just sit and study. The same with the Baal Shem Tov who couldn't even remember the shape of the letters, Aleph, Bet, Gimmel, Dalet. That's how it started, so it's okay if we feel this way, it's a sign of advancement, it's good progress.
Excerpt 4 (01:58:05 - 01:59:50)
38. R. Here we need to understand that the whole difference is in how much we feel or do not feel the Creator. It is according to our appreciation of Him. Great or small in spirituality there are no distances as there are in corporeality, but to the extent that we appreciate Him, He is close, to the extent to which we don't appreciate or we disrespect Him, don't want to be close to Him and equivalence to qualities and I don't see him. In other words in order to bring the upper one closer or to get closer to the upper one I need to change my qualities to match those of the upper one. To appreciate the upper one.
Continues Excerpt (02:00:39 - 02:01:20)
39. S. How can the lower believe there is an upper one in reality without seeing and knowing Him?
R. There are many concealed forces in nature. That we don't discover. We don't discover them with our senses but only through instruments. Advanced science all of it operates in this way, revealing such things that don't exist just like that before us. Things that are hidden and that we reveal using, by building instruments, by doing all kinds of special calculations, this is how it happens. If we reveal our world only according to our natural qualities, our sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch we would remain animals. What makes the human level special? It is that we can discover phenomena and nature that with our five senses we can't reveal them. This is why wait discovered radio waves or audio waves, all kinds of phenomena of attraction and rejection. Phenomena of the universe we discover all that above our senses and the Creator too as a force that contains within it all the phenomena of the entire universe, the entire universe is in the Creator. We too are in Him right now.
We say that He is far and that we get closer to Him, these distances are only from the perspective of attaining Him, but not it's not like there's a real distance. It's a distance in attainment, but we are all inside of Him. The Creator is the place in the world, the whole world is in Him, so what we need is only to discover to develop the senses to feel that the distance, the space, the reality that we are in it is all the Creator. Then we will discover that there is no empty place here in reality, as we see in our world. That there is air, we have a vacuum in the interstellar space, there is no such thing. It is all one desire without any breaks that's present and fills every place and operates in everything and fills everything and it is all the Creator. What is our work in this? We, miserable little we, in this physical form we can awaken Him upon us and demand Him to reveal in us senses that we will achieve this same state as His. Where we by adhering to Him will also come to a state where we fill up all of reality with our desire. That we want to get close to the desire of the Creator with the desire to bestowal and this is what we will do, and then my work will end in filling all of reality and being adhered to Him in this reality itself which is the Creator. These are amazing things that are ahead of us that we should be thinking about these great things specifically while we are incorporated in our heading calculations and in the ten we have to think about what's happening and what's ahead of us.
40A. S. (02:06:54) This exercise of writing a letter to the Creator regarding rejection and the ten?
R. I don't want to say what you have to do but it will teach you. It will teach you good it's worth it.
41. S. (02:07:26) How can the lower one see the faults of the upper one?
R. It's painful for the lower one to see the faults of the upper one. It's painful because a lower one understands that he doesn't have flaws, but the flaws are in him, but he sees them in the upper one. Then he will say something about the upper one as if there is something wrong with him. It is on behalf of the lower one because the upper one is 100% the good that does good and if the lower one feels that there isn’t the good that does good in the upper one, the way he is treating the upper one, the way the upper one is treating humanity, so he has to calculate what is going on here. He raises the prayer to the upper one and asked not to correct the upper one’s relation toward the world and not to correct the upper one’s relation to him or to the 10 but to correct the reception, the way his vessels need to be corrected so that he will see the upper one as the good that does good to everyone.
42. S. (02:09:17)
R. Don't worry you keep going and you'll see how it all revolves around and more knowledge will come in and more feelings in mind and heart together will be organized between them and start supporting each other's mind and feeling and man will be built and the right direction between the heart and mind the spiritual images built.
43. S. (02:10:08) You said we have to fill up our reality with desire for the Creator what did you mean?
R. There's nothing but everything in the world the animate, speaking in all the worlds, it's all the Creator’s relation to the created being to the desire He created. That we are in the center of creation, the middle black point, the inner point, we have to determine the inner to black inner point we have to determine our attitude back to the Creator. We are in the circle in the inner black point. That is us. Through everything that the Creator created around us and He is conducting us and all these external conditions we need through these external conditions to try and go back to Him correctly and then all of this creation this whole circle this world, the five worlds of the circles from above downward and from above upward they will all be a communication between us and the Creator and the Creator of us, and in this way we can play with Him. He will put forms of concealment and we from below upward will put forms of revelation and this is “me from my beloved and my beloved for me” constantly in this game we will be. This will seem to us as the game of the Creator with the whale.
S. How does He work on me through all of this creation, how do I respond to this, how do I penetrate?
R. If you do it through the ten from the ten you can go through all the worlds. The main thing is to determine the ten as your fundamental point where you can receive the Creator.
S. Meaning I discover this game that the Creator is playing with me and I tell Him that I will turn see you through the ten?
R. Whichever way you say is not important. The main thing is to build a plea to Him to the ten.
44. S. (02:13:05) When a person begins to see the greatness of the upper one, regarded as the AHP rose, the lower one also begins to attain the feeling of the upper one please explain this?
R. We've learned this many times that if the upper one raises its AHP, it's called that the Creator is moving away from me, how can I rise first of all understand that it is the Creator moving away from me that He isn't felt in me as close but a bit further away as if it's getting cooler, towards the Creator so I need to grab onto the ten more because I need a vessel. I need to hold onto the ten more and put more efforts in the 10 to depict that we are in a connection and strengthening and holding the Creator and by this we will feel ourselves rising, that more that we felt the Creator now we feel Him even more, because the between us there is a stronger connection and that is called that we are rising and as the AHP we are rising with Him and all depends on the connection between us.
S. How do I come to a state where I see the greatness of the Creator?
R. The greatness of the Creator you have to establish that by speaking to the friends.
S. In the ten?
R. Yes. Specifically by feeling that the Creator has moved away from our feelings and disappeared from what we had before and so we need to connect more between us in order to come closer to Him. On our behalf coming closer on our behalf is from His for us to come closer to the Creator.
S. And this is called brightness, said the Creator when we get closer among us?
R. Yes, by you reading Rabash articles and doing them.
S. What should we do to get closer? How do we get closer to my friends?
R. By you reading Rabash articles and doing them.
45. S. (02:16:30) What should the lower one ask for the correction to happen?
R. The lower one needs to ask to come closer to the friends and when there is a closeness between the friends you can demand closeness to the Creator. The closeness to the Creator isn't by being close to Him but that the Creator is revealed inside the ten, in their center. That is what they demand will happen between them. Between them they demand the closeness because each one is an egoist and closeness between those egoists but when they still when they try to be a bit closer they locate some center of agreement between them so they asked the Creator to be revealed in that same center of agreement between everybody.
S. When the lower one sees spoiled conditions what does this mean?
R. He sees the conditions that the Creator is giving him an opportunity to overcome the world will be more corrupted the group will be more corrupted, we are all going to have fears and anxieties and helplessness, all kinds of states. We just have to know one thing: it comes from None Else Besides Him and it comes in order for us to overcome by the connection between us that it will be more and more, and so that we demand from the Creator that He demands us to connect after our efforts, and He will be revealed in the connection between us. That is all the actions that we need; it's not a lot, and when we start studying TES I hope we'll start it. It will be clear to us that all of their, all of our prayers and our hopes are only for this, for connection in each and every word of TES that it has to be for connection in order for the Creator to be revealed and enjoyed.
46. S. (02:19:30) Concerning come and see, is it love of friends between us, when we work on the individual and on an emotional level?
R. Yes.
Excerpt (02:20:05 - 02:21:56)
47. R. It is all for his benefit and revelation of the Creator, please read again.
Excerpt again
48. R. (02:23:48) We are now going to sing a song and then you will tell us what the day is going to be like. Tomorrow we will continue this document and that's it. I see that people are already tired.
S. Can I ask about the excerpt?
R. No, I can see that it's not absorbed yet, you're not asking for yourself, you're asking for everybody. So there's no place for it now.
