Living between Opposites - Selected Excerpts from the Sources

1. Rav’s Introduction: Yes, this is a great study, living between opposites because we already talked about it more than once, that the created being can not be like the Creator, only consisting of a single quality bestowal, love, giving, but rather only of something and its opposite because he does not feel one thing, we always feel something which is opposite of something else. Therefore there is no light without darkness and there is no bad without good etc etc, in all kinds of different manners, in different emotions, different qualities, in all of our senses, in everything that we are.

So we need to understand only that there is room for everything, for the thing and its opposite, and specifically through the oppositeness between them, we get a feeling, and this is how we advance, towards the revelation of who we are and where we are, and what is this corporeal world, and a later on when we reach the feeling of the spiritual world then in that too we already discover in the form of something and his opposite, we discover these two things as the advantage of light out of darkness, only out of darkness, that the greater the darkness is, the light will be revealed as even greater, one on top of the other.

The Lord created the one opposite the other, and therefore our whole study in that we exist between the two ends, and we know how to connect these two ends together into a single goal, a single origin, where these opposites forms came from, from there is none else besides him, and we also a tribute to him everything that is happening, everything comes from the Creator and returns to the Creator, and our role is only to connect all of these things together, and therefore a person must not be connected only to a single direction, because he simply loses there his qualities his forms, his awareness, his understanding, his feeling, but rather everything is only in the form of the correct connection between bad and good, light and darkness, right and left, etc, etc, and this is how it is with all of the discernment that we get. We should always search for something that is its opposite, and then in the connection between the two of them, we find the truth, the Creator who is the source of both of them equally.

2. S. (03:58) What holds together the thing and its opposite?

R. The Creator, who is both the source of this and that. To begin with, he tells us that I've created the evil inclination.

S. So the order of the work is first and look at the matter and then its opposite, and then the Creator?

R. It depends on what state a person is in to begin with, because you're saying the order of the work, so with respect to whom, with respect to the person, so the person is in all kinds of states and if he was completely balanced in the zero, then of course he could decide with each and every thing, but to begin with he himself is in a certain state which is unknown to him, and therefore we first of all need to reset zero ourselves, with the society, with the Creator, and out of that that we already beginning somehow to build our relation to creation and how to advance.

S. [missing

R. So you start with something, with whatever you have.

S. So he doesn't know what the state is yet, how does he reach the opposite?

R. It all comes through us, zeroing, resetting ourselves.

S. What is this reset?

R. This reset means that a person gets up and wakes up and needs to decide how to relate to the Creator. Because he is the source of both the bad and good, and therefore what does it say, for example what we need to do, to think about the upper force, the fact that he created me, that I bless him for the fact that I exist. I bless him for the fact that I remember that I exist for a certain purpose, and I bless him for the fact that he created within me all kinds of qualities, and through these qualities I can attain creation, and I can attain the Creator as the center, as the source of creation, and through creation, I can reach or come closer to Him, to the Creator, until I reach adhesion with Him. And in this way, bit by bit, I reset myself, I calibrate myself, until I feel that I am already reset. Following that, I begin my day, my scrutinies, my other scrutinies, but it is after that I, in such a way, connect myself with the source.

S. And after a person directs himself towards the source, he is aiming there purposely, where to begin the work of the matter of a thing in its opposite?

R. The work begins with me being able to read any materials that we read later on, to study, understand, talk about it, that we will already be connected to the source, that this comes to me through the Kabbablists, from the Creator, and then these materials already comes in order to expand my vessels of reception, between the friends and to the Creator. This is how I begin the day and advance in it.

3. S. (07:46) You just said that our role is to connect all of these opposite forces, we search and we find them together, and then you said one above the other, what does this mean, the work of one above the other in the work of our group, in our ten?

R. I don't remember that I said that, raise one above the other, I want to see how I support all of them, pushing them to the Creator. But that I seemingly, as I hear it in your words, that I seemingly climb on the friends to reach the Creator?

S. I think he meant about covering each state?

R. Repeat please.

S. You were talking about a very interesting part of our role is to connect all opposites together and to search from these opposites in our group, time again and to bind them together, one on top of the other.

R. The Creator gives us all kinds of forms for and against, and we need to connect all of these things that come to us, first of all to Him, to the Creator, that it comes from him, He is the source of everything, of the bad and of the good, and to begin with the Creator says, I created the evil inclination, and we need to accept that in a nice good way and it is written that a person should bless over the bad as over the good, that if you receive not with balance, whatever you receive in life, then you have a problem, it means that you relate to the Creator as the source of good in your life and you do not want to relate to him so much as a source of the bad, that is not good, but rather we have to bless over the bad as over the good, and then in such a way you are connecting yourself precisely to the Creator.

This is why Kabbalists are very cautious about looking at the world always as it comes from the upper force, and it is connected to them that it reaches them so that with their correct attitude to whatever comes to them, they can return that upper force, that everything that is revealed to us in life is revealed only in order to bring me closer to the Creator, if I will use it correctly, meaning I attribute it to the Creator, and I will relate to Him in such a way that I will bless over the bad as over the good. If I arrange myself according to my qualities, in such a way, then I already correct myself, and I will have no bad feeling in the Creator’s world where I exist, and I'm entirely under his control, then the person sees that whatever he has to bless the Creator for the good things he gets from the Creator, this is called Hassadim, Mercy the light of Hassadim, a weak light, but it gives adhesion with the Creator.

Like little ones who cling to their parents, whereas if a person can even bess the Creator for the bad things, then he is already working with the vessels of reception in order to bestow and then he discovers the strong force in his connection with the Creator. It is worthwhile to think about that and then you will ask there is what to learn from that, but this is truly the key for our advancement, our spiritual advancement, especially in our time when we have now entered more advanced stages, and with the help of the events that we are now going through, so I'm happy to that I can teach you all of these stages specifically because the bad is revealed and we have to invert it to good and upon it, we will truly work with a great leap towards the Creator.

4. S. (12:57) From what you just explained there is a sensation, that putting together the opposing matters is our work?

R. Again please.

S. To put together these opposing things is our work?

R. The awareness that we are in all of these opposite things that they come from the Creator, from the bad side and also from the good side and we bless, as it is written, on the good side and also the bad side, this is our work. Towards the Creator there is no bad and good, only towards the created beings because they have the will to receive. As much as I can bless the Creator and relate to Him in the same emotion the same heart, both over the good and also the bad, which I feel, this only means how much I elevate myself above my egoistic desire so that there is no difference for me between the good and the bad, so long as I realized that it comes from the Creator.

5. S. (14:40) How do we reach the corrected state?

R. By the Creator putting you in the corrupted side, the broken side, and you feel that you are in the corrupted side, then you understand that this state comes from the Creator, and therefore your whole purpose is to bless him for the bad, where you are, with respect to your will to receive and by that you correct yourself, in that same will to receive, you can bring it to the Creator to reach adhesion with him, this is how you correct yourself. You cannot reach the Creator if you do not feel yourself that you are corrupted and you must have correction and your correction is that you now will be in adhesion with Him.

6. S. (16:19) [missing]

R. It is important that with all of the things that you get, you can tie them, one to the Creator, and that it comes to you with whatever you feel for your benefit, for your benefit. This is why he sends it to you, then you can remember Job and all of these stories from the Bible that tap into everyone to King David, who was always there for 40 years he was fighting and running etcetera, there is a lot about that, meaning that all of those whom the Creator loves, he reproaches.

The Creator pressures and strikes from all sides those that He wants to advance, because we have to be taken from the worst state, the egoistic state, to the best possible state, the altruistic state of the Creator. Therefore this whole path is actually all composed of learning what is bad and what is good. That is it, this is how we advance, and therefore each person should be happy that something bad descends on him, as a result of his study and dissemination, as a result of his life that he is in a framework, in an environment where he is advancing towards corrections and then he understands how everything comes only in order to correct him.

7. S. (18:34) If one has recognition of evil but he can not yet justify the Creator, there's the gap, he does not attain the good yet, the opposite, the flip.

R. He should be incorporated with a group, talk to the friends, ask them, he should dilute his bad among everyone and in such a way he will receive support and as a result be able to overcome and continue.

S. And he has his foundation of the instructions and the path, the writings of the Kabbalists, with which he can turn to the friends, but how can he go forward with his inner doubts, what is the correct work with the doubts?

R. What are you asking about, I told you, become Incorporated in the environment because nothing else, the environment, the books, this is what he has.

8. S. (19:48) You said that a person discovers a strong force in disconnection with the Creator so how should we relate to this disconnection with the Creator in order to find the strong force?

R. I didn't understand what you were translating. A person feels a strong force in that he is disconnected from the Creator?

S. That is what he heard.

R. A person should realize that the Creator awakens him through all kinds of things. The degrees of the still, vegetative, animate and speaking, and the person has only one thing, to grow stronger through the society to connect with the Creator that is it. It is a simple thing. Do not scatter into a thousand and one other means, but through the society to the Creator. You could take the books and study, you can take the prayer book or Psalms and pray, but the strongest thing that should influence you is the friends, in the most direct and positive manner.

Whereas from the books if you will start to read them, then from by that you will enter greater weakness and depression, even from our could books because there it speaks about high degrees, whereas from the society you get support, and this is why I recommend first of all, immediately, enter a connection with the friends. You can talk with them, you can tell them everything, and they should understand you and then through the mutual support, you will emerge to a great light because it all comes in order to elevate us, to lift us.

S. I want to be specific because let us say that when a person is in a state that I do not care what happens to my body, I do not care if get pleasure or pain, but what I care about is only if I connected with light or not, so in the state of that I am not connected to light, I do not care about the pain of the body, but I care about the pain of the soul, so in that pain of the soul, what is that point, the point of strong force to reveal Hochma.

R. No, do not tie this to your body. Tie this only to your connection with the environment, not with your beastly body but only with your spiritual body which is the ten.

S. I didn’t talk about body, there is problem with translation.

R. Maybe but you will understand it nevertheless. You will understand it nevertheless.

9. S. (23:43) What do we do with the pain that is generated when we try to justify the Creator and the evil that we see in this world, experience in this world, and we feel that we don’t have the power to do it all?

R. Again.

S. What can we do with the pain that is formed when we try to justify the Creator and the evil and we feel that we have no power to do so?

R. This is the matter of the lack of the environment, a person depends on the environment. He should connect with the environment and receive support from the environment, alone he will not be able to succeed, and this is what is missing and therefore we need to constantly strengthen and strengthen and strengthen the environment, that it should help each and every one of us to stay on the path and in a more precise direction until we begin to truly discover the Creator and there the disturbances will be different ones, also disturbances, we always have to advance on the disturbances.

10. S. (25:11) [missing]

R. We don’t shift to the vessels of reception, we don't already have nine Sefirot and Malchut, we are scrutinizing the disturbances along a path in order to advance to the Creator. He sends us all kinds of disturbances, it all comes only from Him, as he created the will to receive, so he is constantly feeding the will to receive with all kinds of things, which we feel as for, or against, and we through that need to get closer to Him more and more. How do I know that I'm coming closer to the Creator? Only according to how much we have a stronger and stronger inner connection in our environment. There is nothing more beneficial than disturbances that pressure us and obligate us to tighten our environment more and more until we feel ourselves as though we are truly inside of a shell, like a nut together.

11. S. (26:31) You said beforehand to incorporate with the group, to speak with the friends, to ask them, to mix his evil among the friends, so how do I do this in the ten?

R. If you tell him about it, even as we do in our daily life, if a person feels bad then he tells everyone and then it becomes easier for him, this is considered that he is spreading his bad between other vessels.

12. S. (27:06) Why do we need to relate to the good and evil in a neutral manner?

R. Neutral I would say to bless over the bad as you would the good, it’s not neutral. In truth, we advance actually through the bad, through stings, through blows, all kinds of things that come and seemingly hinder us. This is why it says all whom the Creator loves, he reproaches. What does that mean? That the Creator gives blows to the ones he wants to advance quicker because everything comes from Him.

Reading Excerpt (28:01) “He who the Lord loves, he admonishes…”

13. R. (28:41) This means that we should also know how to respond as much as possible more correctly, openly, emotionally to what we receive, because we get all these things from the Creator. Even though I get it through all kinds of people, nevertheless I get it from the Creator through them, so I need to relate to each and every thing according to the right measurement of how do I advance through this to the goal, how do I accept all of these things that come down on me from the right, from the left, it does not matter how, it is advancing me towards the goal, can I use them in order to advance to the goal, then I accept it and I bless over it.

14. S. (29:32) When you say to invert evil to good, it is not always so clear because we cannot always locate each state of what is bad and what is good. Let's say in the workshop. For example, a friend is speaking and I can accept his words as bad or good and beneficial. How do I scrutinize the state?

S. Let's say the workshop for example a friend is speaking and I can accept his words as bad or good and beneficial. How do I scrutinize this state?

R. A person scrutinizes according to how much he understands that these things both the ones that are seemingly bad and the ones that are good, are aiming him to a greater Connection with the Creator. That is all. Therefore, don't be afraid. Look at all the things that emerges an come from the Creator and then you will not be mistaken.

15. S. (30:30) What is the meaning of,he whom the Lord loves he admonishes? Is there someone whom the Creator does not love?

R. Seems to me that there are such people. If theCreator wants a person to come closer to him and the Creator loves him, and He wants to bring him closer, then He will admonish him. Then He has to teach the person how to be close to Him. All in all, this is the reason for all of our state's that we go through. If we pay attention then in each and every state we will be able to detect the Creator's attitude towards us, until we reach a state where this connection will already be open.

16. S. (31:30) Is there a difference between the corporeal suffering and suffering from this because we are not walking with the Creator?

R. No, it only depends on how much we are able to explain them in a corporeal material way. but actually we exist in the Creator and there is nothing that is corporeal. This world also does not exist therefore there is also some kind of area in our feeling that is what we call, what we feel. We call it this world, but in truth everything is just spirit and upper light.

S. So if I am strong with the suffering I have to look for how to turn it into spiritual suffering?

R. Let's say that the most important thing is adhesion, let me tell you that. Through the adhesion if you are in the right environment then the Creator begins to advance you towards him more because you are ready to receive from Him all kinds of responses and you already have a place to process them, and how to advance towards Him. This is on the condition that you have arranged for yourself a connection with a friends.

17. S. (33:06) Can you explain please what it means to dilute my evil in the ten?

R. Come closer to the friends as much as possible with all of your heart and soul then you will see what it is.

18. S. (33:36) It is not clear from what point a person can give gratitude both for the good and the evil?

R. When he directs himself for the Creator and he understands that everything comes from the Creator especially in the bad things also especially if he could say that then he blesses the Creator for the bad as well as for the good because it is not important for him.What is important for him is to get closer.

This is why this is how he accepts it. In truth we advance through the bad and come closer much more so than the good because it awakens us more for the time being. Later on when we will be in in order to bestow then we will shift in Lishma already to a different attitude where it will be important for us to feel the good which we will transform to in order to bestow so when receiving good from the Creator will be very difficult you have to replace screens great screens on top of it so that you receive it not for yourself but in order to bestow. When we reach that we will work on it

19. S. (35:11) In terms of Hebrew we're approaching women. What is that punishment? Direction? I do not understand this?

R. That he will teach. The Creator teaches a person what it means to love from the bad side and also from the good side. That is that we have no more questions so let us continue.

20. S. (35:48) You talked about corporeal states and spirituality. Corporael states, states and spiritual states.

R. Repeat.

S. Is the body the corporeal body? Is it a copy a projection of the spiritual body and is the suffering of the spiritual?

R. No, its or this and it is not that For now , there is no known correction. We will learn these things later on it is not for now but there is no no connection. Right there is a connection in this that whatever passes over the corporeal body but a person can be a great Kabbalist and suffer corporeally, he can be healthy and his body and be in zero spirituality. There is no connection.

21. S. (37:50) You said that in difficult states it is manifested in a more conspicuous manner in order to change our attitude towards bestowal, but if we already have a habit, such a habit towards everything that is revealed, then I guess we no longer distinguish between the bad and the good?

R. You can't just erase everything and say, everything comes from the Creator, where do you see that, where do you feel that? You can’t just say it like so, you need to feel it throughout all of your desires, that all of this is good because it comes from the Creator, so on the way because it comes from the Creator, you need to reveal the Creator, and then it doesn't matter what you received from Him, you receive it, you accept it as good. Why? Not because you feel that it is good rather because it comes from the Creator.

22. S. (39:09) We say that we should be grateful for the bad and also for the good and also for the bad, how should we express our gratitude for the bad?

R. It is not important to you what manner you receive the attitude of the Creator towards you, the main thing is that it comes from Him, and thus it is good and however you feel is, you know however you feel good and bad, is according to the correction of your vessels, and so you make an effort to correct your vessels in order that they will all be on the intention at to bestow and then you will praise the Creator, bless the Creator, feel His attitude towards you as good in all that will happen.

S. Where do I begin, I got a blow, I felt it, it was very painful what I felt, how do I start now?

R. Thank you very much dear Creator, think, especially what we are learning from these excerpts, think how you need to scrutinize each and everything in your life, that it all comes from the Creator, through all sorts of people, and these people are just passing on the attitude, the relation of the Creator towards you, and the attitude of the Creator is surely good. And when it comes clothed in the attitude of other people towards you, then you need to accept these things specifically as good, that they will come in order for you to change and feel the Creator through them, that it comes from Him, and not that they're standing in the way and you want to kill them or banished them, but rather you want to connect through them to the Creator, that they will turn to be your connection with the Creator.

23. S. (41:34) If I heard correctly you said that with all of the qualities that the Creator gave me, I calibrate myself until I truly feel in a state of zero, what does that mean?

R. This is called that I want to make the effort to accept everything that I feel that it comes directly from the Creator, and in this it comes through people in an unpleasant way, it is an order that I should change my vessels in order that between me and the Creator that there should be no system that corrupts his attitude as the good that does good towards me, so in order to neutralize this border between me and him that brings all of his attitude of good towards me as the opposite of good, it all depends on me.

24. S. (42:52) How can I help the friends justify whatever is happening to them?

R. You strengthen them and tell them the same words that I'm telling you. That is it. That there is no bad in the world at all, at all. There is no bad in the world. We are all inside the Creator, the good, and our entire goal, the bad that he reveals, because as he said, I have created the evil inclination, that evil we need to invert to good, and then we'll be ready, privileged, with the revelation of the true good, the infinite good, which is the good of the end of Correction.

25. S. (43:56) Many times we talk about the importance of the goal, that we feel that indeed on the way the Creator is constantly advancing us slice by slice, he has given us intermediate goals, should we look at the intermediate goals every day or the final goal?

R. I would recommend to be more connected to the final goal as much as you can depict it to yourself.

26. S. (44:34) We actually feel this time as sweetness, actually the bad states cause us to want more to be together, to long, it is a feeling that I have to convey from us to the other tens, and to you Rav, that we are together with you, the whole way, I would even describe this time as a kind of honeymoon really, and can we leverage this feeling towards anything that we think is bad, any sensation we feel in life and elevate it even more, not to feel bad or humiliations or all kinds of things, is this a more correct way to cope with it?

R. Yes I've already spoke about this for a few days, that we are entering a new connection with the Creator, a new degree, and thus all of this attitude and we are revealing, it is awakening all of our haters, that the Creator is awakening them in an opposite manner, because everything that we are rising, the degrees towards the revelation of the Creator, towards connection with Him and everything good must be weighed towards something bad, right, left, left, right, and thus we need these things that are revealed today to see specifically the entrance to something good.

27. S. (46:32) Is there a point where we feel gratitude?

R. Yes, we need to connect to the Creator in this manner and each time to strengthen, strengthen, strengthen our connection with Him and that is our work.

S. If a person feels forces and it is difficult for him to be grateful?

R. No, if a person feels he is forced to advance, then he also needs to be prepared for the force that opposes him, because that is how we advance, in a matter and its opposite.

Reading Excerpt #1 (47:55) “It is known that nothing appears in its true form..”

28. R. (49:03) Meaning that we need to scrutinize all the forms of separation and to attain hate for the separation, not for the actual thing that is revealed, rather that in this that he discconnects me from the group and the Creator, because I have no evil in this whole life, rather what disconnects me from the Creator, and so until I reach this hate for separation, the true hate, and what exactly I hate, why I hate, if it separates between me and the Creator, then this I hate, but If I feel that what awakens me today, that comes to me hate from all sorts of other things, and that they are specifically aiming me and getting me nearer the Creator, then I need to love them, this is really the matter othat ultimately, we reach the general, absolute love, that there is no evil in the world.

Rather all the things that were awakening us against the connection with the Creator, that they would fall upon us with worries and problems and troubles and curses and putting us down on and so on, ultimately they advance us to connection with the Creator, and thus all the evil to begin with, in some manner, would feel towards us, let us say that we would feel towards them some bad, some hate, repulsion, it all turns to good, and thus there is no evil in the world. Suddenly I begin to reveal that all these bad and evil things, they’re not evil, they're actually bringing us closer to good. We will learn this more, that is the correct study, and Kabbalists write about this very much because nobody went through this.

29. S. (51:31) Are we all supposed to go through such suffering like Job, King David?

R. No, but surely in sum total our society has to pass something of this. They corrected the evil that was revealed in them and we will reveal the evil that is revealed towards us.

S. How does a Kabbalists relate to a state where he's being slandered in the eyes of the public?

R. In heart towards those that put us there.

S. Not hurt by it?

R. Entirely not, first of all we do not ascribe it to ourselves, the Creator created me in all sorts of manners and then arranged everything in such that I did whatever I did and I didn't do whatever I didn't do, I looked at this like this as friends and looked at this and that, it’s all, everything, until this moment, wasn’t in my power, and that’s how it was from none else besides Him, and now that it is revealed, also there continues to be revealed from Him, where is the I, where is the self here, I am only what needs to agree with everything that passes over me, to be in adhesion.

S. It doesn’t weaken him when they show him his weaknesses, doesn’t it lower him?

R. Go to the artist who made me, it doesn’t weaken me, because everything that happened until now, is what needed to happen, otherwise you don’t accept the providence as coming from the whole source.

S. And besides to embrace it, there is nothing else, you simply embrace that situation, that’s it?

R. The truth is yes, I have no hate for anything and nobody I don’t feel that there is anyone to hate here. You don’t feel it on myself?

S. On you I do, but I want to be like you, so whom does the Lord love, it says, those whom the Creator love, who does the Creator love?

R. Whom ever the Creator loves, He sends all sorts of troubles and problems in order that the person will connect them to him and adhere to the Creator even more.

S. How can I make him love me and take me into consideration?

R. From whatever you receive from him in each moment, make the effort to be in adhesion that it comes from the Creator, that is good, and you need to just all the time, to understand whatever comes to you, it comes from Him, and so on.

S. What is the new degree that we have entered?

R. That we begin to learn how to advance to the Creator, also upon what He sends us, the bad things, just like the good things, this is already, it is like we teach kids, first of all, we give them only sweet, sweet and good and warm, not too hot, not too cold, we measure everything precisely, exactly because he doesn't yet have senses, the more senses he begins to have, we then begin to awaken him to enlarge the senses, to it develop them, a bit warmer, a bit colder, a bit like this, a bit like that, and he’s taught this does that and this does that, he really needs this and this is how we are taught, and now we are entering the study of the good against the bad, which is already coming nearer to the recognition of the Creator in a more revealed manner.

29. S. (55:42) How to not remain in one end or the other in the extreme?

R. Only together, you need to feel inside that you are truly in the same sensation, the same action, the same process, you need all the time to guard this, to keep this, take an example from other groups, is that clear?

30. S. (56:23) If the ten realizes that indifferences delay their advancement, they are asking the Creator to increase the feeling of gratitude for this awareness, and help give us a desire for each other, this very request, is this the beginning of the inversion?

R. Yes. That is the beginning of the inversion.

31. S. (57:00) There is a state which is revealed and there is the concern of the continuation that this state will deteriorate, is this attestment to lack of faith, or lack of connection, what do we do with this?

R. We need to worry that we will use all the states are now going through as states for progress, as a springboard for a higher state, that we are more connected, more understanding, where it comes from, that it is from the good that does good that advances us, and that we need to learn the good thing from its opposite, which is a bad thing, and so on. Look at all the excerpts now before us, how we begin to understand how the Creator advances us, in more advanced, higher spiritual degrees, it will be a lot sharper, a lot more spicy and demand of us to truly be in a unique state.

Today, yes, it passes over me, and a bit over you, as some echo, that feeds back, but later on it will be revealed that each and everyone in all sorts of manners, and thus we need to be prepared for this that evil things will be revealed against the good things, in contrast to the good things, and we need nonetheless to bring them closer to the same upper source only.

32. S. (01:01:34) What about the fear that awakens towards difficult states that can come, because that’s our path and we know that they're coming?

R. Of course that our path is this, like we teach little kids, so each time we give them all sorts of failures along the path, they need to rise and descend and do something, all our progress is such and so there is nothing really to think here about freedom, vacation rather it's always a study and we're learning it on ourselves, and all the states between us.

S. So let’s say they’re slandering us, attacking us, but you know tomorrow it's going to be a lot stronger and it makes you afraid kind of.

R. No it won't be too strong, it will always be on our level, it can't be otherwise and so this is how we also need to understand the world, we are learning in the world that from what people are living is food, sex and family, money, honor and knowledge so food, then sex then family, that's what they live off of, and thus they come with such complaints but rather, spiritual matters don't belong to this at al,l they don't belong to this at all. And for some reason we're in a period where humanity is confused actually in such a manner, what can we do, it will pass, a few more years, they will stop even relating to it at all, from what I see and what it's what is happening in the world, it's already past it, only politicians are using this.

S. The inner response of the Kabbalists, this embrace that he has within, does it neutralize the external obstructions does it change it?

R. No, all these things come from the Creator and thus it cannot be here that it's not worthwhile to relate to all those who put us down and talk about us, it's not worthwhile relating to them, because if I understand that it comes from the upper force, then I need to relate to him, and it won't help me to come to some agreements on the corporeal level, with some people it doesn't work.

S. The inner relation, does it affect the outer relation, and the way that they're responding to me?

R. Could be yes, could be no, but again because it passes through the upper system, it decides what is good for me.

S. How to understand that that the disturbance comes opposite the connection because it is unrelated, like you said it could be food, family and sex, it doesn't come opposite the connection between us, which is actually the place of the disturbance.

R. It doesn't come in this manner because we don't see and understand this, but ultimately it comes against the connection between us, from between us to the Creator.

S. An external, individual obstruction that comes to me, is this because I'm not connected enough with the friends?

R. You're in the society, so it comes through you to the society, but it's good, it strengthens us very much, I would pay them even more, however much it cost them, that they shall do it more and more.

S. Really?

R. Yes, I'm telling you, it's seemingly external blows that I feel in this upper love and that it comes in order to strengthen us and whoever will go, will go, whoever will remain, remains, but whatever remains will already be in that higher degree.

33. S. (01:06:15) This inability to be aware that ultimately everything is for the good everything is for the good is that the main reason for the suffering?

R. Of course yes yes correct

34. S. (01:06:45) Like the guest and the host, does it show us how to change our state from receiver to bestower in order to feel this feeling of the virtue?

R. Yes.

35. S. (01:07:15) This feeling that some friend of mine now starts to talk to me about this way, that way, that I'm a murderer, I'm a thief, I’m a rapist, all kinds of such things, and now I know that I have to invest a lot of hours and money and time to engage in this, how does that help, this engagement, it's something that certainly is not on the path?

R. I would differentiate here between a few matters, first of all it could be that you are with him in systems of media and some organizations and so on, and so you have no choice and you need to engage with it also in the corporeal level of systems, but actually I wouldn't do anything if it came to me personally I wouldn't do anything, rather only strengthen the connection with the group and with the Creator. That's it. From there it comes and that's the reason.

36. S. (01:08:41) I just wanted to ask, what is this thing that there is no bad in the world? How can it be?

R. Because there is none else besides him.

S. But you feel it, so what does it mean that there is no bad?

R. So this evil appears before us, in order that we will change ourselves, and to this extent we turn this bad into good, meaning we begin to see good in it, the evil exists only to the extent that I need to invert myself. From egoism to altruism, let's say, from reception to bestowal, then the evil stops to exist, then is it evil? It's not evil, it comes in order to help me change to good.

S. It's bad in relation to what?

R. It's bad in relation to my ego only.

S. So when you feel bad then what does it point to, that at this point I'm not connected to the Creator, I'm not in adhesion with the Creator?

R. You cannot locate to this point, that you're tied or not tied, but it's clear because you're still not tied in a few points to the Creator and then comes this bad sensation and it shows you where you're still not connected. More or less somehow, but it shows that you still have this to correct.

S. Those whom the Creator admonishes, what exactly is the admonishing, what's the proof I guess the Creator is expecting from us?

R. The Creator wants to receive from us only the correct response, that we understand that everything comes from Him, there is none else besides Him, and everything is for our benefit in order that we will learn how we need to be connected between us and to Him and that when we shall bless him on the bad just like the good.

S. What is the admonishing, in Hebrew it also means proving, how do we prove to the Creator that we love him?

R. Because we continue on the same path, even at a greater pace, and the evil comes only in order to bring us closer to Him, to advance us even more, to sharpen our senses. Look what Kabbalists write to us in all the excerpts, and also from what we see in history, that thousands of years, all sorts would come against us to destroy us and so on. It's all in order that we will get stronger in connection and to the goal.

S. Will the Kabbalists ever loved or was there always resistance and opposition to them?

R. Love the Kbbalists? No,no, from the Exodus of Egypt onward, in all the nations of Israel, there were already great arguments, as you saw between King David and Shlomo, Solomon. Throughout history you saw these great struggles, that you had the destruction of the first temple and the destruction of the second temple, and then already went in to exile. In general they lost the spiritual connection from between us and between us to the Creator and remained only for individuals in the last two thousand years. We are really in disconnection from the truth, disconnection from the upper force and only with unique individuals.

S. What is the source, why is there always resistance to the Kabbalists, opposition, why is that?

R. First of all there is envy, hate, for the hate of wisdom of Kabbalah and Kabbalists because people think that they don't have it and when they don't have it it, then it really awakens and them something which is envy, and the Creator is interested in that there is such people in each and every generation, and there really were many like that. That's one thing, and the other matter, that people want simply with their big ego, they want to prove that they are right in what, it doesn't matter in what, then they look for more supporters, and that's it. We need to accept it as good, I will repeat that once again, the Creator is arranging for us all sorts of support on the path, that in all these negative manners, negative forms that are are seemingly poking us, that we by them ,are advancing towards the goal.

S. So if I can somehow put it all together, so Kabbalists throughout the generations, their response was specifically that if there is some hatred or resistance towards me then the response was to ascribe it to the Creator?

R. The response is to get closer from between us and from between us to the Creator, not to enter into some battle with whom, what can you even say, to whom, can you explain something? It's not possible, people are in my eyes, they are like these people, are are sick in spirit and not even normal people.

S. Where do they get the strength to respond in such a way where I’m not even going there, but rather my calculation is only to connect more, to be connected to the Creator a little bit more, how do they keep this direction?

R. How what?

S. How do we do it, and how did the Kabbalists do it over the generations?

R. We learn how the Kabbalists learn, read all these excerpts and see how they're talking about it, you don't need a lot of matters here, it's very simple, there is none else besides Him, the good that does good, what comes to us according to our desire, his good that that does good in opposite manner, so I also make need to make an inversion what I receive from Him, to see good in it, and that's how we need to advance in my life, I advance to the Creator even that I feel along the path, seemingly negative responses, until I turn them into good.

S. So if someone comes to harm me, to harm the thing that is most precious for me in life, should I respond to him at all?

R. No, what for, he has no idea what he's doing, he has zero chance of understanding, it’s like his heart and mind are clogged, he has zero chances of understanding at all, and really this is what we’ve seen throughout the generations, this is how Kabbalist behaved towards all those who slandered them, to the contrary, it helps you advance.

S. But this contradicts the fact that on one hand, on the other hand, they say if he comes to kill you, you have to respond, you always have to respond, and now you are saying that if you respond it is actually strengthening your connection with the Creator even more?

R. He's not coming to kill you, if he's really coming to kill you then get up and kill him, first. It's written in the Torah that you have to, but it's not necessarily that this is how it is, by accepting that which is poured on you and through that you connect to through the Creator, by that you perform a correction over everyone and also all those slanderers will die in their slandering and will resurrect in a good better way.

37. S. (01:18:11) To these external disturbances are they actually designed to strengthen our faith, be grateful for those disturbances because of that?

R. Yes. This is how we need to see these things. Some of the disturbances reach us because we disregard it as possible spiritual advancement that we had an opportunity to advance but we didn't use it. Therefore the disturbances are now coming in order to give us a push, and there are those that really come in order to advance us more quickly. You will see how within a matter of a few weeks we will reach new states. Even what we're studying now, we couldn't have studied it without these events. The Creator he's sending us these external circumstances and from that we learn about our inter state.

38. S. (01:19:40) It's clear that if he comes to kill me that I need to defend myself but an ordinary life, to embrace the one who humiliates you?

R. We're not talking about our lives. You have no idea where we are. You simply don't understand. We are talking about those that slander us on our spiritual path. The main thing, the cause, the main reason is that we are studying the wisdom of Kabbalah and that's why they are against us, they are going against us. This is what we are talking about and you're talking about completely different things. Just about some kind of war. You are talking about some kind of situation where somebody comes up to you with a gun and god forbid wants to kill you or something. Then you need to kill him first. You need to understand the situation we are in here in Israel and what we are talkin about. Otherwise nothing will be clear to you and you'll just confuse.

39. S. (01:21:19) If a Kabbalist is in a state where in every place 'None Else Besides Him', how does he advance?

R. He advances towards 'None Else Besides Him' through the different disturbances that the Creator sends him.

S. How can he correct himself if he doesn't ascribe anything to himself?

R. After the Creator sends him this disturbance, he takes a step forward in order to adhere to None Else Besides Him and then upon that, the Creator sends him another disturbance and again he moves forward in order to adhere to 'None Else Besides Him'. Once he gets a disturbance he feels that he has disconnected from the Creator. He does work. He adheres to him and then the Creator again sends him a disturbance. This is life, day and night.

S. What does a Kabbalist need to feel as a sin as far as a Kabbalst?

R. Being disconnected from the Creator that all there is. Disconnection from the Creator. We also have excerpts about it.

S. That I am disconnected from the Creator, or the Creator is disconnected from me?

R. It doesn't matter. Right now your situation is that you are disconnected from the Creator that means you are in sin.

S. What am I asking for the sin?

R. What do you ask for once you are disconnected? Don't you understand? It's not that simple. You need to ask for a connection.

S. I'm asking if I should be sorry about this or?

R. No, be joyous about being disconnected. What are you asking?

S. That's my question, if I ascribe everything to the Creator?

R. You have to regret the Creator pushing you away, rejecting you. This is something that you do need to regret that you are currently disconnected. Of course you can say that there is 'None Else Besides Him", that the Creator did it but why I don't know but I am disconnected. so I am in sorrow.

40. S. (01;23:32) Please help me with the scrutiny, “go to the Craftsman who made me". In the beginning of the way if there's no one else for me,then, who is for me? if I am not for myself and who is for me? Then I get the blows and I accept it as though I didn't do something right but at some point I need to shift to such scrutiny that the Creator did it to me.

R. Meaning in each and every moment you need to calibrate,keep, direct yourself toward the Creator performing half of the action and you perform the other half, that's it. Let it be arranged this way in the meantime, that the Creator begins creation and you correct it in each and every moment, that you are a new creation.

S. Maybe I can be more precise here. I understand that I get a blow and it's a blow to my ego. I see it that way. It's like a healing and what is a remedy for me?Bestowal a remedy for me?

R. I really hope that you won't get too confused as a result of all your wise ideas. Let's continue. This will give everyone a direct line because I see from the questions there will be confusion.

Reading excerpt # 2 (01:25:34) Baal HaSulam, "You Have Made Me in Behind and Before"

41. R. (01:26:00) That we always have two opposites and the same subject. This is how we always need to see it. That if we connect them together then we discover a whole and complete thing and if not, then some one thing is revealed against another.

Excerpt 3 (01:26:24 )Baal HaSulam, Shamati, Article No. 91, "Concerning the Replaceable"

42. R. (01:26:47) That's why we need to understand that our way consists always of opposite forms that are revealed, one upon the other. We need to have patience and to acknowledge and understand that's how it is supposed to be. Right, left, left, right, night day, day night and these things and spirituality are true opposites. One that comes from the side of the Kli and one that comes from the side of the light. Let's learn how to correctly relate to it.

Excerpt 3 (01:27:38) Shamati, Article No. 91, "Concerning the Replaceable" ( again)

42. R. (01;28:04) Therefore the creator has no choice. He has no other way to convey to us all of his forms but by making an opposite of himself and an opposite copy of himself in our substance directly and the opposite and again and again. Until we put all of these together into one attitude of the good that does good to the good and the bad and the darkness will shine his light and everything will be as one whole and perfect thing.

Excerpt 4 (01:28:42 ) Baal HaSulam, Letter No. 51 “ The whole difficulty and serving him…”

43. R. (01:30:19) By reaching the state where light and darkness all these opposites become one thing because we attribute them to the Creator to one root then in that we start attaining that these two opposites and everything that becomes revealed bring us to the root which is one, the Creator.

44. S. (01:30 :50) For an average person it's very hard to grasp a contradiction and its opposite.

R. True, because we are incapable of it only spiritually are we're capable to the measure of which we the degree if it's a spiritual degree than its related to the Creator which is the source of both, of both of these opposite forms. This is what the Creator told Abraham, that Isaac shall be called a seed and kill him. How could that be? For an Issac shall a seed be called you and how could that be? This is what we discover, gradually bit by bit.

S. This is a problem that needs to be solved?

R. It is a problem in our perception, in our mind, and in our emotion. Only there does it exist because the world around us is the world Ein Sof, endlessness. We are the only ones that need to correct our Kelim vessels and to increase them until we perceive the entire world correctly and its infinite form. Is that clear

45. S. (01:32:26) Is the attaining of a thing and its opposite of a certain degree a condition for moving to the degree above it?

R. Of course. Yes of course

46. S. (01:32:51) There is a saying without two opposites that we can't reach attainment?

R. To the Measure to which you enter spirituality, to that extent, according to the level which you have attained in spirituality you connect these two. You can't connect these two opposites into one because you connect them to the Creator. In the measure to which you obtained the Creator and to the same extent you connect both of these forms into one.

S. All the problems that we are going through at home right now, if he wants to advance us to being in two opposites and become one? What does it mean to make these two opposites into one.

R. By sending us different disturbances each according to his degree and situation, He wants for us to connect everything to the good, to one source and for all of us to connect around it

S. How do we actually need to behave?

R. We need to connect together around it.

S. Just be neutral?

R. Did I say that? What are you talking about?

S. I'm asking what I need to do.

R. Disconnect your mic, you're only confusing us. I have said enough. We need to connect and for all of us to be together and as much as possible to be connected to the Creator, that's it. Why are you putting in different words about separation?

47. S. (01:34:42) Tell me please. Can there be a situation where a person ascribes the good to the Creator and the bad he doesn't ascribe to the Creator?

R. No, if in your perception of reality there are two upper forces, one good and one bad There are such perceptions that there's a good Creator and a bad Creator. Then from that you can come too many different good upper forces, bad upper forces, like the ancient Greeks for example, for them the whole of reality is filled with different such forces but no, we're talking just about one existing force in all of reality, 'None Else Besides Him' and all the bad and all the good, if we're talking about bad and good is revealed from that same one source. Even though when we start attaining this source that we see that is only the source of good.

S. If possible another question. We have two points,love thy friend as thyself and to bless for the bad like we do for the good, It seems like these two points are p

retty close but it seems like it opens many doors here where I should bless for the bad like I do for the good. immediately afterwards I start loving the other like I love myself?R. Of course, if you can reach such a degree where you really see the bad things as good ones, then you really start seeing the one force that acts in the whole of reality that way, the force of good that there is no force of evil, that you have corrected your qualities and in relation to you the Creator does no longer reveals himself as the force of bad. then you're already in a state of one Creator. "He is one and His name is one'.

48. S. (01:37:22) These two states that we make into being good is that in reason or above reason?

R. It's all related to the power of faith, it has nothing to do with how much you know or what you don't know. It's not something that happens in your intellect but only in your heart.

49. S. (01:37:51) In opposition, are you telling me that I'll reach joy only through pain?

R. It could be not but you nonetheless have to also relate all the negative things in your life to the Creator and his good force

50. S. (01:38:28) If in the group correction or a blow like the past Corona where we have to take physical actions and distance ourselves from people and protect ourselves with different measures, can we see future conflicts as only spiritual work in the ten ? Or should we as a group of people or a nation organize some kind of defense like we did in Corona?

R. In spirituality, we are not protecting ourselves against anything. The connection between us is the correct protection against the forces, that is if we want to act against us. The forces that are acting against us, we need to see them as pointing at that same deficiency in our connection and if we connect then these bad forces disappear.

S. In the Corona we did that, we tried to come closer through the internet but the physical fear also remained. We had to protect ourselves, so why act differently?

R. It has nothing to do with one another. We need to be in those. I am talking about connection at heart, about the hearts coming closer to one another, not physically hugging.

S. I feel that there's only me and the Creator and the image I see is the world Kli is my internal responsibility so I feel that I am alone… the question is should I organize my friend for a physical defense if we see that problems are a correction for us all?

R. Of course. of course to help them that way if possible. But first of all ,we need to feel ourselves advancing in spiritual connection between us for us to connect at heart.

51. S. (01:41:37) It is written here and a person is not capable on the side of his creation to scrutinize his body and soul as two carriers, why is he not capable of scrutinizing his body and soul?

R. In the beginning of the path you cannot scrutinize them together this is he wants what he wants to say.

Reading excerpt # 5 ( 01:42:08 ) “ one has room for two opposite qualities…”

52. R. (01:43:38) I don't know what to say, let’s read it again.

Reading excerpt # 6 (01:43: 44) “ As soon as the person is created…”

53. R. ( 01:45:00 ) Any questions about this? No, I don't see any questions when I get some video. So let's keep on reading. let's get acquainted with all of theses excerpts.

Reading excerpt #7 (01:45:17) “In each and every movement in his work…”

54. R. (01:47:18) This is a powerful passage.

55. S. (01:47:27) He talks about the middle line talking about two opposites in one carrier, the one carrier is the middle line?

R. Yes.

S. The carrier is something that sustains or holds something.

R. This is what sustains or keeps together the entire construction, the upper force.

S. He also writes that it has to be in his heart forever.

R. Yes, because right now there's one after the other.

S. So what is the order?

R. Until he dies as the receiver and they become as one.

S. So far as something comes to me that feels bad and I have to change my attitude but I have to feel it as bad in the beginning.

R. Of course, you feel it according to your qualities.

S. I have to go through some internal process that I change my attitude.

R. Yes of course.

Reading excerpt #8 (01:48:47) “ We should learn from those who ate the Manna..”

56. S. (01:50:37) In the process of resolving problems that we have in the ten, so around in corporeality, we discover that caring for the problem brings out other problems. Is this implementation of the principal we're learning here?

R. I don't understand what do you want to ask?

S. The fact that there are two opposites, two forms. Is it something that there can be clarified if we are serving problems dealing with the problem?

R. It could be. Meaning if a correction is not final it generates problems, yes, but that's it that's all there is, there's no more than that.

57. S. (01:51:33) You get the feeling that in the root that thing is one but in the materialization of the receiver it becomes duo but in the root it is not, is this a correct feeling?

R. I don't exactly understand what you're saying but probably it's correct.

S. It seems like I originally one, the fact that we feel good or bad is in us.

R. Correct, this is correct.

S. There is only love, there is no hatred or love but we have those discernments.

R. Yes.

Reading excerpt # 9 (01:52:23) “a person should know that he must feel what.…”

Reading excerpt # 10 (01:53:52) “There is no light except that which comes.…”

58. R. (01:54:59) And we have the matter of honor, yes?

S. Yes, there's one relevant passage, Shamati “Honor” 181.

Reading Shamati 181 (01:55:22) “Honor is something that stops the body….“

59. R. (01:56:35) That is how one is protected. Okay, let's go to the regular questions.

60. S. (01:56:44) Today we learn that the good and the bad stem from the Creator?

R. No, from the Creator only good emerges but when it comes to us and we are divided so it clothes in us as good and bad.

S. In excerpt number 7 about Manna it says that a person feels that Manna whatever he wants to feel, the taste. What does it mean to feel the taste of the Manna and feel it the way he wanted, that you can choose?

R. I don't know we'll get there and we will see. It's not good for us so what is there to ask?

61. S. (01:57:50) Would it be true to justify the suffering just because we know that the Creator is good that does good or he wants something else from us?

R. If you justify them as you receive the suffering from the good that does good then they are no longer sufferings. You have sweetened them, you have mitigated them.

S. So it's not like a mom who punishes a child without explaining why?

R. No, there's an explanation the Kabbalists explain to you to what extent the Creator punishes you and is not a punishment, it is correction.

S. But if I don't understand this correction, how am I supposed to work with it?

R. You need to hear what the Kaabbalists say and to try to see where you are as all being corrections. It is all corrections, there's even such an article.

62. S. (01:59:19) From the place of our connection, what is the difference between your personal pride being hurt, the friend's pride being hurt and the Rav’s pride being hurt?

R. Of course it's different but we need to understand that it's all, It is all revealed to the extent what is broken in us. Hence, we need to understand that this will come so we will connect more.

63. S. (02:00:05) If a person suffers it takes some time to process and say that is for the better so in that pause it takes a lot of time, how does it work?

R. Time is defined from many reasons I will say, it is the measure of connection between the person and the group, the group and the Creator and between everyone together and around what is happening. Also even from external influences upon them, where they are and what waay the Creator manages all of reality not just this ten. I cannot say what this depends upon. It truly depends on all these details.

S. Meaning, I start working and I wait for the answer and when it comes I thank him for giving me the work?

R. Correct, yes.

64. S. (02:01:30) In corporeality something for me as light could be darkness for someone else. Is it the same in his spirituality too because both work with the will to receive?

R. I didn't understand.

S. Could it be that there is something like is light for me and the same is darkness for another person in corporeality?

R. In corporeality or spirituality, are you talking about your friend?

S. Suppose I see a TV show, for me it is something bad for someone else sees the same show and enjoys it.

R. Well of course, yes, what is the question?

S. So is it at the same in spirituality that the same thing for one friend will be light and for the other not?

R. Not in an opposite way because each in accordance with his degree in spirituality sees these things even more and closer to the Creator.

S. Can we take corporeal suffering and use it in a goal-oriented fashion?

R. Why not, what does it matter if it's spiritual or corporeal, if the person is this for him it is suffering. If he can move it to a spiritual degree moreover.

65. S. (02:03:14) According to the article still I’d like to understand, of course on the one hand or he protect the righteous in different ways but on the other hand does it not hurt our dissemination, the dissemination of the wisdom of Kabbalah, light of the Creator, the question is how to combine these things together. Because if I understand correctly according to the previous questions, they're now different states that our friends are going through in Israel our group and how can we in these states at this time correctly combine these things on the one hand the humiliations, the attacks, these inner disbalances, and on the other hand still there’s me to break through to do something for humanity.

R. First of all we need to accept it as something that helps us and that the Creator is raising us up. There is nothing bad happening in reality, nothing bad. We need to accept these things as help that advances us and that it advances us very fast, specifically all these things that we have now attained by the external hatred through this and we rise a degree. We are learning such things that we couldn't talk about before we had no reason and therefore I'm very happy that we are in this, the fact that there are still many friends of ours, relatives, close people, that are suffering and cannot accept it correctly, what can I do about it, what will I do?

Their reward is in their place by the way they will receive a reward and there's nothing to fear and there's nothing to be sorry about either that it's happening to anyone, each and every one that belongs to this whole path of ours also today also in the future to the extent in which we ascend, if he belongs to us he will rise with us if he’s against us he will descend then each will receive his own that's it, so we just need to continue and be concerned with us all being together in one direction and to the Creator and the Creator has one but one thing, to bring contentment to the Creator we can under the condition that we unite more and connect, that's what He demands.

66. S. (02:06:40) Why should we say to those that fall into the net of our opposers, haters that accept what they say as the truth?

R. I don't know I don't deal with those, let each go whatever he wants that’s it. Of course I'm interested in strengthening everyone but I give lessons a few times twice a day now and let’s hope that people who want to hear will hear and if not not, that's it. The Klipa has still many forces to be in this world of ours and let them connect to them, that's it and it will only benefit us, eventually it will only benefit us. We will not receive any harm from this.

67. S. (02:08:07) When we experience opposite states it really confuses, as a result of these confusions that come from these opposite states it’s actually correction, does it come from the Creator?

R. First of all everything comes from the Creator and all that comes comes so that we will advance to the purpose of creation. In the purpose of the creation all the actions of the Creator are connected with all the created beings together, that's it.

68. S. (02:08:45) How does a person reach a state where the Creator loves him?

R. By loving the friends, from the love of the created beings to the love of the Creator. It needs to be on our behalf towards Him and also on His behalf towards us.

69. S. (02:09:06) Does man have free choice here?

R. Of course it all depends on one’s choice.

70. S. (02:09:16) Is there someone who the Creator likes more or less?

R. In the accordance in which a person tries above the disturbances to adhere to the Creator then certainly the Creator will love him more.

71. S. (02:09:34) Will we be able to approach the Creator without getting blows from Him to walk only on the path of good or we can’t avoid blows here and there on our way toward advancement?

R. No, you can advance almost without blows but it depends on us investing all our efforts towards connection.

72. S. (02:09:59) I heard that from what we connect in the ten the more suffering we get, if so then what is hastening then?

R. Who said it’s that way? The more we connect we will suffer more? Why? It’s the opposite. From this we'll run away we’ll distance from the suffering, all the suffering comes from us being distant from one another and from the Creator.

S. But we won't get a stronger challenge if we connect more strongly?

R. Yes, but these challenges will be pleasant.

73. S. (02:10:43) When we see the posterior and the situation hurts does it mean I’m on the wrong path and that’s why I’m discontent?

R. The fact that we see the posterior we’re seeing our uncorrected vessels that we needed to correct and therefore we suffer from them.

74. S. (02:11:11) I understand that I need to accept everything comes from the Creator. Do I need to agree with not being able to take care of my basic needs of physical harm?

R. Again.

S. I understand that I need to accept everything that comes from the Creator but if my corporeal or physical basic needs are harmed should I accept that too?

R. I don't need to come to the corporeal necessity, I have to make sure that I have always the necessities in corporeality and the necessary things in spirituality we have to make sure that we care from the whole group.

75. S. (02:11:59) For example at work I have a problem or someone damages my car or hurts me physically, what should be my response? What does it mean on the one hand to accept it that it comes from the Creator and on the other hand or should there be some kind of external reaction?

R. Both according to how the big society defines and whatever country they live in.

76. S. (02:12:28) Does the environment needs to support a friend if bad things are revealed toward that friend in corporeality?

R. Yes, we need to be in things and to support her as much as possible.

77. S. (02:12:45) What determines the intensity of the blows coming from the Creator if that advance us?

R. We don't know, what the Creator chooses He does, sometimes from twenty years ago He's preparing the blow and after twenty years it’s being revealed and then we understand what’s happening, we don't know, this happens only in what is connected and dependent on the correction of the soul, only towards the soul we can reveal the extent in which the Creator is arranging things for us therefore we don't understand why the blows are there, why the specifically these, why this style, where it comes from et cetera, we don't understand, but it is aimed towards the correction of the soul that needs to now be revealed.

78. S. (02:13:52) How instead of being afraid of getting disturbances and trying to escape them can we be afraid of being ashamed toward the Creator because we’re not using the disturbances for this purpose that He has given to us for.

R. This needs to be the atmosphere in the ten that we’re going correct everything only through overcoming in connection between us.

79. S. (02:14:22) Does the will to bestow already exist in us?

R. Yes, it only exists in a very internal way, it is yet to emerge from its nucleus let's say.

80. S. (02:14:48) How to thank the Creator?

R. In simple words with our open heart.

81. S. (02:15:00) Yesterday evening there was a very warm Yeshivat Haverim uplifting and also during the German Congress we experienced these kinds of feelings. Should we use such gatherings in this period in order to strengthen our immediate environment and have a steady Yeshivat Haverim for women?

R. Yes if it’s possible, there’s not always time for this but if it’s possible, moreover yes it’s good but also try not to waste time.

82. S. (02:16:03) Why does fame harm the righteous.?

R. It’s really a big problem and there’s a great calculation in this because the righteous know more correctly how to use and advance and draw after them all of humanity and therefore first the righteous receives the blow and really there are many problems for a righteous and this is how He draws everyone after Him.

83. S. (02:16:47) What protects Rav from respect and admiration of his students?

R. I didn't understand.

S. What protects Rav from how the students feel toward him that appreciate him and admire him?

R. The Creator watches over him, we also have certain verses about this that the Creator protects people and arranges it such they’re despised, humiliated, so that He’ll protect him that way, yes there's a great thing in that. It’s worthwhile to receive blows lowering to receive those so he can see how it helps.

84. S. (02:17:43) What’s a blow from the Creator?

R. A blow from the Creator is where he seemingly forgets about you.

85. S. (02:17:53) Justifying the Creator is an action that inverts the bad into good. If we justify the things in whatever happens does that invert the bad into good?

R. Yes but it’s really if you’re justifying, not just saying.

86. S. (02:18:12) Is there any other action that we need to perform besides justifying the Creator?

R. Friends and the Creator that's it.

87. S. (02:18:26) What is correct criticism in our work? A judge has only what he eyes sees so what we need to switch eyes to keep them or what?

R. The correct scrutiny for our work is daily examination of how we are closer between us and the Creator. That's the correct scrutiny.

88. S. (02:18:57) Should we ask the Creator to cause us to love the bad that we feel in order to come near?

R. Yes of course, getting closer to the Creator is the safest care.

89. S. (02:19:16) There's fear of saying that the Creator that He’s bad, how should one relate to this kind of fear? Should one overcome it?

R. Simply wait until we correct our vessels and are able to in all the things come out of the Creator only and they all come out for our benefit.

90. S. (02:19:40) How can I understand that I’ve moved away from the Creator?

R. According to the extent in which you scrutinize all of creation and the Creator, over all the friends and the Creator.

91. S. (02:20:00) A Kabbalist already achieved adhesion with the Creator, how does he still sin and being separated from Him?

R. He didn’t reach the end correction yet so therefore it’s written don't believe in yourself until the day of your death, until the will to receive dies, until it is completely corrected in order to bestow so don’t believe in yourself that only good things will happen to you, you can still fall.

92. S. (02:20:41) Is it possible to feel at heart that you know that eventually for the better, coming from the good that does good but the mind needs to see things the way they do.

R. In order to scrutinize in your mind as well and try to move it from the mind to the heart to the feeling and then complete the whole process and be certain mind and heart that you’re connected with the Creator.

93. S. (02:21:16) How do we help the weak friends who feel weakness but they’re actually strong friends but feel weakness?

R. Take them in an embrace between us in the circle and that's how they will strengthen.

94. S. (02:21:36) How is it possible to bless for the whole that you don't resist the action but you continue, how do you bless for it?

R. That I don't understand what you’re saying, you’re talking about the side of the ship, and I'm doing this myself?

S. Yes we talked about it at the beginning of the lesson.

R. Then I don’t remember maybe we talked about it and in what context. Maybe you’re connecting it one way and I another way.

95. S. (02:22:11) If I want to see my friends corrected, sophisticated, in the end of correction, how can I be grateful for our indifference for indifference between us?

R. Try to incorporate with them as much as possible connect them that's it.

96. S. (02:22:38) How and with whom to bear the blow?

R. I don't understand the question.

S. How to bear the blow from the Creator, with whom, how do you sustain it?

R. Only by being connected to the surroundings, to the environment otherwise I cannot withstand anything I have to first of all be concerned with my connection with environment and then after that from that we can come to all kind of decisions and even find them and succeed in them and specifically that blows a person receives first of all he needs to examine how it obligates him in the society, how it obligates him to be in the society and then from that he will come to good changes. You will see this, there's no such thing that you’re seeing now, on me, on the environment, what each and every one of us will have to go through to some extent even in a minor way, it’ll happen and this is how we will advance, and we will certainly succeed the Creator’s with us and we for the time being will conclude our lesson.

97. S. (02:24:12) Today we talked about many things on the lesson about and maybe friends from the world Kli aren’t exactly, don’t know all the details, can get confused, how do you conclude, summarize this lesson?

R. How do I summarize the lesson? That we talked about how to relate to external disturbances that they only come from the Creator. Do not ascribe them to organizations to the people through which they appear because there are many ways to the Creator and there are many ways to the other side to the Sitra Achra, so we need to see these only as an opportunities to connect and to strengthen and how through several steps that are quicker we will reach the end of correction.

In the world there is no force of evil only the force of good which towards us is revealed as either good or bad, so we will grow, but in truth the care comes from the Creator, from the good that does good which is in absolute love towards us and we need to try to be in His world only in a good feeling. All the best to you and I hope you will understand correctly where we are and how we grow, and that we need to ascribe it all to the upper force and all these forces of separation what can you do with them? Let them die, we will go towards corrections.

98. S. (02:26:15) Should we read the slander against us?

R. I don't want to read it and also Rabash writes that he doesn't want to belong to it because he doesn't want to integrate with their thoughts, do you remember? He writes something like that. Therefore I don't think anything about that, I don't even want to think badly about them because I understand that it comes from above from the Creator and I have no point in that. I need from all these things to see how I'm advancing towards the goal that's it, and it advances me to the goal much more than anything else so we need to just thank the Creator for spinning these things this way that our haters have a lot of money, and forces, pressure that through their work they can advance us and all the best to you good luck.
