Part 3:

Congress

1. S. (00:07) In a few days we're going to have a very festive event where we're all going to gather together for a world prayer. How to use the remaining days to prepare ourselves to come really on fire and prepare to not miss this opportunity in this moment?

R. So what's the question?

S. How to take advantage of the remaining days to come prepared for this event?

R. I can't even tell you what to do. You've already learned everything, in the workshops, studying, reading and everything, ask something more specific.

S. It feels that it's another event on the calendar.

R. No, it's not another event in our Journal, because we are changing. That's why the event we are about to come to in order to connect is different then the previous three months ago event.

S. What's special about this event?

R. We are different. Nothing happened, things happened here and there, changes on Earth occurred and in humanity, but the main thing is that we are different.

S. In what way are we different from the last convention?

R. That's a question that you need to think about: How are we different today compared to the previous Congress? How have we changed ourselves, how has the Creator changed us? Have we come closer to him, did we come closer to our friends, do we feel ourselves more connected between ourselves? You have to answer that. What I feel is what I feel but what you feel I don't know? I think that in the previous month or so, a very big change occurred here, essential; coming closer mutually, bestowing, by it feeling more clearly the purpose of creation and how we change. I feel that. If you can't feel it I have nothing to say.

S. Do you think that reading Rabash articles that we started recently…

R. This is what actually helps us; reading the articles of Rabash, yes.

S. My question is in the upcoming convention what do we need to demand according to our current state and at this current point in time, not in general the vessels of bestow, but now?

R. Now, until the Congress or in the Congress itself?

S. Until the convention to be ready for it.

R. Until the Congress and in the Congress itself; we have to demand the connection between us in a way that no one feels himself disconnected from others, that thinking about himself on his own, on his own he doesn't exist, he is nothing. However, if he thinks about ‘me’; ‘me’ meaning I am among everyone, they are holding me and I am holding them.

S. Who is everyone?

R. everyone is the whole group I can imagine to myself.

S. At the convention I want to hold the whole world kli?

R. The whole world Kli. Yes

S. But how to open the sensitivity as you’re saying: I feel these changes, i don't know if you feel but i do. How to feel these changes in the group all the time to be on top of it?

R. That I am concerned with it; that all these changes will always be felt in me as essential changes.

S. And if I don't feel everyone, I don't grasp it as one?

R. So I also don't perceive each and every one as one. What, I perceive every face and every soul? but all in all, this connection, this unity, I perceive.

2. S. (05:25) You spoke about the Rabash articles and the changes that the world group is experiencing, can you elaborate what exactly is happening when all of us all over the world group is trying at least to penetrate the Rabash articles and discovering this infinite depth in it?

R. We need to understand that our teacher Rabash is really a teacher like no other. Baal HaSulam is too high in the upper systems and Rabash he exists in the connection with man to these systems. That's why it's important for us. This is why the articles by Rabash are more important for us than anything else.That's why we started learning them and will continue as much as we need, for our general correction.

S. I think it's felt for many friends here and in the world Kli. How to place the big inspiration that we now have and also the fact that some friends are becoming distant, Etc, why is it happening in such a way?

R. That's how it is always in the study of the Wisdom of Kabbalah; whatever you go into, whatever you delve into, the light that comes and works in both directions. Some follow it and some leave, and there's nothing much to do here. I'm not ready to fight for these ones who want to leave, let them leave, even though they can always have the option to come back, but there is nothing to do. How do they say that you will feel the difference when you come to the cashier, at the end or something like that.

S. How do we try to inspire them? It seems that the inspiration isn't rippling to all the layers, it's like they're not exactly leaving, it's like they are kind of dropping down passively from the ten.

R. Nothing to do about it. That's how the forces of Wisdom always disperse, that's how it happens.

S. Can we use the Convention as an opportunity to…?

R. I think the Congress has to connect us even more to the other and we start feeling that through the connection we come to the next degree. Yes. I really hope so, that that's how it will happen.

3. S. (09:15) About the Rabash articles, when we study them what does our ability to comprehend what Rabash is trying to give us in his articles depend on?

R. Rabash wanted to pass on the path for us; how we can continue from a shattered place, distant, darkness, until the final correction. He wanted to build in us all the discernments and that we will connect to these articles and we will feel these degrees, and this is how together we come forward and form.

S. But how while we're reading these articles, how to take everything he's writing to us as a journey that's changing us, that these are our vessels now, these are our deficiencies, how to really be included in the process that he wants to take us through in his writings?

R. I think this, this is why we said we will read these articles twice; the first time as a group, each and every group and the second time is together, in the lesson. I think it's not enough but at least this will give us some ability to advance.

S. When we read the articles, if I want to check myself if I were to be able to extract the most from the article and what does it mean, that I have taken advantage of this opportunity completely when reading the article?

R. When I feel how much the article affected me and my friends, and as much as we are forming together around the topic of the articles and getting close to it, that's what I should feel.

S. I also heard you say that Baal HaSulam is more in contact with the worlds and that Rabash connects the person to that same system of the worlds. So that connection, what is Rabash doing on us that connects us to these worlds?

R. Baal HaSulam is more of an academic, he takes care of the systems and Rabash is more connecting himself to man, to the soul of man; he wants to take us by the hand and to help us go through all the degrees, along with him.

S. Do you think that in our time a person would be able to attain it if he will not go through that same system called Rabash?

R. It doesn't seem possible to me. it doesn't seem to me that it's possible to reach Lishma if it's not through Rabash; it's the whole…every time has its teachers, and in the times of Rabash it was Rabash, in the time of Baal HaSulam it was Baal HaSulam, Etc. That's the whole thing with the kabbalists from generation to generation, that the Creator placed each of them in each and every generation.

S. I see that when we read the articles and every sentence that we read you cannot believe that this is what you're reading, because he writes in such precision about everything that we experience and all the stages. What I'm trying to ask is how to have the correct attitude to this opportunity and to take advantage of it. It's like a gift from above to be able to be in this study, to be in the lesson with these articles specifically now.

R. Just to carry out what he recommends for us. There's nothing more to do, to carry out what he recommends.

4. S. (15:15) When we read the articles I'd like to share what I'm finding, that he's formatting us to have the correct attitude and at the same time it's like this pipeline that through the correct format the Inner Light is clothed even more and every day there could be a different Inner Light. The main thing is the approach that we receive from Rabash, and in it we can find something even more internal and that's why we can enjoy it every single day as new, to correct our attitude and also to receive in that attitude, the light that comes to us that day. I remember once you told us that kabbalists, in the past, some had only one page of authentic source text and from that they could reach the final correction, because they didn't have any books and they didn't have a lot. So Rabash is giving us, I feel, a good attitude, if we have the correct approach and if we include ourselves in it then we get something deep from this, every single day. That's what I find from this general mutual reading that we're doing.

R. Yes, you are correct.

5. S. (16:48) We have a few more days until the convention. Everyday we have a prayer twice a day. We have hundreds of friends getting together with the women too. It feels like a very special connection, one world Kli and the light of the Creator being passed on to the nations of the world. What should we focus on in these upcoming days in our prayers that we want before the convention?

R. We need to try to connect as much as possible, truly between us, and out of the connection between us we turn to the Creator with a prayer so He will help us. We don't understand and we don't feel what we're lacking, what we should come to, our words are not the right words our emotions are all fake but still we will ask, we will ask and the Creator like a mother understanding when her baby cries and speaks, He will understand us, He gives us deficiencies and according to our response we will understand what we basically need to bring back to give Him, so let's try and the main thing is to all the time be in connection between us and the Creator all hours of day and night.

6. S. (19:14) The Rabash wants to take us and through all the degrees what is this reaching out from our side?

R. In our connection between us when we want to give him our mutual hand so that he will give us and accompany us on.

S. Will we ever be able to feel the Rabash like you do?

R. I think we will all feel all the Kabbalists. Starting with Rabash and ending with the first Kabbalist Adam Harishon.

7. S. (20:10) A question about the convention: everything is attained through the force of prayer. Where to direct our prayer to?

R. Where to direct our prayers? Our prayers should certainly be directed towards the Creator. We have nowhere else to aim our prayers to.

S. The Creator is like a mother you said, how can the mother awaken the Creator?

R. The Creator is like a mother and we need in all kinds of ways to awaken Him, as we awaken the mother to pay attention to us as if we are not feeling her attitude towards us enough. The Creator does that purposely so that we will turn to Him and tell him how much we need his presence etc.

8. S. (21:45) This is the first time that Costa Rica will take part in an organized manner in the convention, especially due to the deficiency of the women who are making us feel like the heel of the group. The question is what should we do in order to be the heel of the entire world Kli?

R. I think this is how it will happen, this is how it will happen. Keep on going and I also am very thankful to Gil who accompanies you and builds you this is how you will grow up and become great. Good luck.

9. S. (23:09) You said Baal HaSulam is high up the chain and that Rabash connects us to the world. Is it okay that sometimes when I prayer I don't know your teacher personally but I know your teacher in my heart now. I call upon Rabash all the time and I call upon Baal HaSulam all the time and I call upon his teacher Baal Shem Tov, the ARI and all the other Kabbalists that I'm familiar with for help, to bring us to a state of connection. Is it okay to pray that way as well?

R. Yes, it's great and for sure this helps. The more we turn to them these great ones who are both in connection with the Creator and with Baal HaSulam, Rabash and certainly with our souls this will be very beneficial for us.

10. S. (24:40) There's a feeling of contentment towards the Creator. Is it the same in every single group?

R. No of course not, it's not the same in each and every person or each and every moment, it's not the same.

S. And it's not the same in the group?

R. These things always change, one moment is not like another and that's it, it's written this way.

11. S. (25:28) We went through big changes in the last month in our ten. How can we make a prayer out of this for the progress of the world Kli?

R. Start writing a page about it, not much, not more than one page and see in it what helps you aim towards a prayer in the upcoming days and you will see how it works, okay?
