Excerpts from the sources: “Work with Faith Above Reason”, #64
1. Rav’s Introduction:
All of our spiritual work, or it is mostly at least, is called work faith above reason, in faith above reason why? Because there are two forces in creation, the Creator the desire to bestow which it is revealed in the Sephirah of Binah, faith, bestowal, love, giving and so on. The positive force as if and the other Force existence out of absence is the force of reception Malchut, Daat, knowing, what is revealed in us in our Kelim. and from these two forces actually the entire system of creation is composed. We are born and we exist to begin with under the system of reception, the system of knowing. The system of the force of reception for oneself, building understanding, absorbing, that is our system. We understand it, this is our world. The system of the other world, the other state, the next world, the world that is above ours is the system of bestowal, the system of faith this is how we call it. We need to determine even though we were born and we exist in the system of reception we want to shift to the system of bestowal which is the Creator. He created our system of reception, the system of Daat, reason only in order to give us the possibility, the place for exertion so that we will prefer His level His existence above our existence in which we were born. This means that we will determine that we want faith more than where we are in the force of reception and we are in the force of reception until we rise above it in all 125° when we reach complete adhesion with the Creator. This is our work there for all of our work really, is to constantly be in faith above reason in every moment in our lives, in our existence will determine the force of bestowal as greater than the force of reception to be more drawn to the Creator than the will to receive, the will to receive his only us back to it. This is how we should also try to actualize it in practice. I need to try to actualize it, to build myself in connection with friends, to annul in them, to be immersed in them, opposite how my ego is constantly pulling me to determine what I want and to be by myself or at least with everyone, so that I feel myself in that I'm above them and so on. That is all of our life those who wish to reach spirituality we need to divide it into life that in the force of bestowal in the group and dissemination and connection in the inclination towards the Creator more and more versus how the force of reception who is always pulling us to itself the force of our ego that I determined that I do for myself. That is a feeling of a person should be that I am doing something against myself for the Creator, for the benefit of the Creator. This way if I'm constantly in such an effort that I'm doing it not because I want it, but because it is according to the Creator's desire, then apparently I am implementing faith above reason and this is how we advance, that is our whole way should be only of such an inclination. If you have any questions, I'm willing to hear them now.
2. S. (6:16) What do I do against myself and what do I do for the Creator?
R. I constantly want to feel one against the other that's why it is called faith above reason I constantly want to establish for myself what is my desire, what I would have liked and how I would have done it, how I would have it implemented and fulfilled my desire and what the Creator would have liked, what does he want out of me and how I actualize His desire and place His desire above my desire as it says make your will as his will.
S. What does the Creator want from me?
R. With each and every place whatever I do I perform certain actions each and everything that I relate to, I want to constantly weigh how is this favored by the Creator or not. How does the Creator want it to happen, how does He look at it? That I want to attach myself to His outlook this called, that I am actualizing the force of Bina and he will determine everything not the force of Malchut, not the force of Daat, reason. Faith above reason Bina above Malchut.
S. Tell my action to attribute things to Him?
R. My actions towards the Creator like all my actions need to be aimed towards the Creator implementing them in the group, maybe it's in my life it doesn't matter. We're talking about the thoughts about the person's desire, what is he thinking? How does he sustain himself, how does he keep himself in the family, in the society, but always what am I doing it for? I'm doing it because this is the desire, this is the view, this is the inclination of the Creator and I want to attach myself to Him this is called to raise Malchut to Bina and to do it in a way that Bina wants like the Creator wants. Binah is the force of God in Gematria, numerology and therefore this should be our inclination. We need to start coming closer a bit more in practice to implementing faith above reason, not to run away from it not to think that is impossible it is possible and it is truly a spiritual action and do even a little bit and you will be in spirituality you will start to feel the spiritual realm, spiritual world the forces that are already on our world. It will open up to you a system of guidance, of Providence, of our world. The forces that are activating everything otherwise we just exist in darkness, we can't see, what is happening, what is this happening for and we can't see the future or anything it opens up to us over the whole of creation of the worlds all of reality with this knowledge a person he lives in this world but he lives after he passes away from this world, we discover the system and then it is ours.
3. S. (10:23) We've just come across the similar similar situation in our ten we learned that there is Israel, Orayta, Kudsha BrichHu, these three factors when I come to solve some problems and feelings and relate to some things I see that there's different demand from the Creator and the different demand for myself and a different demand from the ten these parts collide and how do I know how to choose correctly between the three?
R. You actualize the desires of the ten, this now is the most important thing through this and it's for sure will help you disconnect from yourself. You will start more and more to feel how much the Creator belongs to the ten, belongs to the Creator and you can ascribe yourself to them. Rise above the self you have the ten, this is called from the love of people to the love of the Creator Rabash writes about it.
S. And it seems to me maybe that I feel certain influences on me from the Upper force?
R. The upper force for me is the ego and I can't disconnect from it.
S. It's a ten we don't have any other force?
R. It's only the ten with your eyes shut, yes, only the ten is nothing you can do about it, just to be adhered to them and to be in whatever they want for the time being this is what I do, the most important is to annul just like Rabash writes.
4. S. (12:25) You said that in each and every situation there's an opportunity to do work above reason,
R. Yes.
S. Within my reason I know what I feel always and I know how to explain it time and is parallel I need to think of what the Creator would do how would the Creator like me to behave so how can I decipher correctly with the Creator wants?
R. I talked about it also, learn how much you don't hear, the Creator is now is the group instead of him it's the group whatever the group wants is what I do.
S. How can I tell what the group wants....
R. You talk to you, you hear what they want, what they think, what they decide, at least don't follow what they're saying but you can do what they want to some extent help them, encourage them and fulfill them in some way already you're placing the group's desire before the Creator's desire, this is the Creator presents Himself, He's standing behind the group that way you come closer to Him.
S. So, if now I go through a complicated situation that throws me off and I now want to think of how the group would like to see that situation, how do I know how to decipher correctly the right approach?
R. Ask them, speak with them but don't be inside of your own thoughts and desires only you have to listen to them, you have to feel it from them, you have to forcefully enter and then try to absorb from them their views, their desires, their intentions, purpose and try to adhere to them as much as possible. Spiritually you must annul towards them, it is simply this is how it was created in this world on purpose, otherwise there's no need for this world, only for that so the person would have an environment in which he can use it as a springboard to ascend to the Creator.
S.
So
I
need
to
share
my
situation
with
them,
I
come
in
and
annul..
R.
Yes,
maybe
you
are
scrutinizing
the
situation
and
you're
allowed
to
speak
as
well,
first
of
all
see
the
thoughts,
views,
goals,
intentions
they
have
now,
before
read
Rabash’s
articles
about
the
ten
and
you'll
see
them
in
a
new
way.
5. S. (15:37) In some of our sources it's written that the Creator's goal is to do good to his created beings, he's good that does good and some places it's written that he wants to delight His created beings, it is written a child doesn't always enjoy what's good for it so...?
R. So do you do everything the child wants or do you want to educate him?
S. I want to educate him, but what's this, what's the difference between wanting to enjoy or wanting to do good to us?
R. We can't do what's good for us right now because what's good for us is dictated by the evil inclination and we want to rise above it.
S. The question is the Creator's goal is to do good to us or to delight us these are two different ways to phrase it in our source?
R. So, what to do good to us and to delight us, isn't that the same thing, I'm conditioned that we are on His level on the level of bestowal, because only there it feels the true good and not the good in our will to receive which is limited and corrupt. I don't quite answer your question because you need to read a lot more about this topic of faith above reason but it will come. Read this entire compilation of excerpts of faith above reason and soon we will start work on it and try to be included in it. Again I'm saying the introduction I gave now before I started asking for two levels faith above reason, Binah dwells and rules over Malchut and Daat means Malchut rules everything, means so we can be on two levels within reason or in faith and all of our work from reason, Daat, that is from a will to receive that forcefully through the ten, through prayer, to raise ourselves to the degree of Faith, the degree of bestowal of the degree of an action this is called to rise from reason to faith above reason and why does it say faith above reason because we feel that the force of Faith dwells over the force of reception over the Daat, the reason.
6. S. (18:28) Rabash is doing a real miracle here in North America specially with Americans, we have implemented Rabash writings and his principles in three and four of our daily connections and something he's revealing this social problems but like you're saying, like we can rise above everything we see the lesson is a place where we can all come together and unify these deficiencies and everyone's getting the confidence to have a voice in and be leaders in America. It really feels like the light of Binah is happening through these Rabash principles. When we come together before the lesson and then during the lesson what happens then to all the deficiencies?
R. I have no deficiencies, when I come to the lesson I have no deficiencies, I'm included in the ten, the ten for me during the lesson is, let's say of the 2000 friends that I see before me that are connected to me and I'm included in them so what deficiencies can I have, only one lack. How can we be even more connected in order to even more connect with the Creator. Only one lack, there are no lacks, all the rest is the imaginary world, there is only the Creator and us who can even more attach ourselves to Him, that is the whole reality.
S. Much gratitude, feeling of gratitude.
7. S. (20:35) Does the Creator need our efforts and overcoming for?
R. In order for us to reach His degree to be just like Him, just like you demand of your little child that he will grow perform all kinds of efforts and that he will study and know things and would grow stronger, what for, he doesn't want it out of himself, rather you obligate him because you want him to be a grown up.
8. S. (21:15) You said in the beginning what typifies the work of reason is that a person does something that goes against his view, himself where to look for work above reason when you don't have this resistance?
R. Try to ask yourself, what is the Creator want now out of me and do it.
S. If there's no sensation of resistance there's gratitude, joy and it's fine we're obligated to enjoy acts of be so where's the work of reason?
R. Apparently, you're not asking yet, what does the Creator want, He wants connection, He wants you to rise above your ego. That you'll be immersed in the group that you'll do as much dissemination as possible in order to publicize the Creator in the world. This is what the Creator wants, the Creator wants to fill all the created beings with all the good he has prepared in advance, are you truly doing it in every moment? Then you are in Gmar Tikkun, the end of correction and if you are not there, then you lack the force of scrutiny, try to check.
9. S. (22:57) When do I argue with the desires of the Creator and the ten and when do I accept their will unconditionally?
R. To argue with the Creator, well for the time being you cannot because you have no connection with Him, you need to acquire the quality of Bina and then you will have the right line and the left line and you will be able to start arranging the system in between. Now it is still far way, I don't even understand where from you have these desires to argue with the Creator, who are you, how do you feel him, argue about what? You don't exist yet, just realize that you do not exist yet, so who is arguing? That egg that hasn't even started to develop yet in the womb of the mother? It starts to argue?
S. To argue with the wishes of the ten?
R. To argue with the desires of the ten, this is your evil inclination this is the very last thing you can do before you leave them, it is clear, that this is the desire of the ten and it is clear that you are opposite to it, then nothing's left for you either you surrender or you get out.
10. S. (24:46) Can we say Daat is a gateway to go faith above reason?
R. The fact that we have reason, it helps us to find what does it mean faith above reason because reason is what I know, what I understand, what I feel, what is in my possession, in my forces that is all called reason. And I build above it a degree of Faith, degree of bestowal against, in spite of reason, this is how I build the upper world the Creator this is why the Creator the upper world the Creator this is why the Creator is called BoReh, come and see and you have made me, this is why above reason we build the degree of Faith, Bina, yes, it exists however outside of us however we need to build it.
11. S. (26:15) What is the force of Malchut in the group and how can we use it in order to reach faith above reason?
R. We're now talking about the fact that Malchut in the group exists in everyone of us we need to rise above the Malchut of everyone and be immersed in the collective force of the group this is how we reach the degree of Binah, later on we will talk about the collective Malchut. First we each one has to rise above his desire, so that the desire of the group, the thought of the group, the purpose of the group will for me be everything, I accept it above any doubt. Then we will talk what's next, first we have to reach that it's called make your will as his will.
12. S. (27:30) The force of Bina is that the force of rising above yourself is that when I integrate with the friends the desires of the friends?
R. Yes, this is how it is, this is how it is.
S. But what matters here is for that desire to be connected together with these?
R. We need to feel the view of the group, it's state, its goal, the goal of the Society, of the ten and then according to that I need to adapt myself to it as much as possible.
S. If not to go into specific cases in general, we are talking about a single desire, glitches for connection, right?
R. But inclination towards connection must be such that I'm not pulling them to me but pushing myself to enter them into them, this is the inclination towards connection they determine the state to which I come.
S. I integrate with the desires of the ten with the friends, all of them together, what does it mean in that state altogether that I see?
R. This is what the Creator wants, He brings the person to the good fate and says take it.
S. But afterwards in that desire can you add some analysis?
R. It will all change in the group, the view in the group and the desire in the group, the goal in the group it will change and you will also change each time you yourself to the group more and more and then you will see how much you're advancing with the group and this is how it is with each and every one.
13. S. (29:55) If everything comes from the Creator and I have the work of going above reason what work do I do and what work does the Creator do?
R. The Creator does all of the works that's why everything we study is called the work of the Lord, we only want to adapt ourselves to degree agree with those states he establishes for us, the whole world that I feel in general it is all created for me by the Creator and I have to accept it since by this I come closer to him by annulling myself and being immersed in the world.
14. S. (31:02) How to work correctly with Rabash’s articles throughout the day if you don't feel any taste for it?
R. You need to read until you feel a taste, a few times, and play with it as much as possible. and specifically there is no taste, don’t claim that there is no taste what can I do it's not tasty like little children, but rather of course it's not tasty to your will to receive. You feel in it a taste of dust but specifically you have to engage in it and pray to the Creator He will give you the strength to engage do it in it even more, to feel even more That he will give you a taste of connection and in all of the different details in the connection the entire wisdom of Kabbalah speaks about this ten that starts to feel themselves as 10 Sephirot and they start to constantly scrutinize what is this between them in those ten Sephirot in the group, what kinds of connection are there between you? How is the Creator revealed accordingly inside of them, inside of the Sephirot that is between these friends? This is what you are studying and there is no more and that only is the whole of reality.
15. S. (33:01) To further the scrutiny here because I connected what the friend said and what you answered regarding with the Creator wants for me so about me feel that he wants me to perform all these actions with joy is that something you need to ask for, joy?
R. Well first of all we start forcefully and we establish ourselves as much as needed, after you establish yourselves correctly then you start to check, are we in joy? Joy is considered that I am already enjoying it I understand that Joy should be the result of good deeds and a good deed is a deed of connection, am I drawn to connection and if I am drawn forcefully do I feel joy out of it? Is the joy because I'm going against my desire specifically or the joy is because I'm with the friends and I feel connection with them and I feel joy out of that already and this is what you have to scrutinize. Rabash writes a lot about this as well about those states of joy as a result of good relationship good deeds.
16. S. (34:36) If I'm not the created being yet where does the prayer take place in me?
R. Your prayer takes place inside the system that doesn't change it does it is only being revealed in you more or less, but whatever you pray, you want, you ask for in a good state or in a bad state, it is all included in the same system, you never leave your place it's not that you physically connect or disconnect. You're influencing the entire system in which you exist all of the time, you place there is permanent, it is the root of your soul and then according to how much you detect yourself belonging to the system to that extent you grow and you influence it and you work with it and are rewarded with how it influences you in return .
S. Said previously like we are like the egg, a small egg, so the purpose is to identify the system itself?
R. Yes, you need to detect the system itself you need to be in it you need to truly feel that you are in this entire system, even though maybe you don't yet know and feel where you are, your place doesn't change. Your attitude to the system changes and then you discover that the entire system towards you is an ideal system, it is corrected because anyone who disqualifies is disqualified from his own faults, this is how you discover it.
17. S. (36:46) How to annul myself towards each and every friend to achieve connection in the ten?
R. I can't tell you how to do it, you need to do it, do you understand either you're doing it or you're not doing it it has to be a law you have to reach connection Creator brings you to the good faith and you must actualize this good faith accept it as good that precisely what is suitable for you and you have to do it this way and even if you spend 20 years doing it, 30 years it doesn't matter how long you have to reach connection because inside of this connection only you discover your soul, your eternal life and all of these excuses leave them on the side, for the time being you have to do everything above all excuses.
18. S. This compilation of excerpts on the Work In Faith Above Reason was sent as a booklet as it also appears on Kabbalah Media, you're welcome to download it.
Excerpt 64 Reader (38:36 - 42:00) reads again
64. Rabash. Assorted Notes, Article 572, “Two Labors”
when one gives all his energy and efforts for the sake of the Creator, this is his only purpose, and the world was created for this purpose, as our sages said, “The whole world was created only for this” (Berachot 6b), meaning for the fear of heaven.
Hence, when he answers the wicked that he is going above reason, which is against the intellect, the intellect can no longer ask any questions because all the questions are within reason, whereas above the intellect there is no place for questions.
Hence, when the wicked one asks the questions, he is told that now is the time when I can do my work in faith. In other words, by the very fact that you are asking a question and I reply to you that I am going with faith, and I am not giving you an intellectual answer, this is a sign for you to know that my work is with faith above reason.
It follows that now you have caused me to make a Mitzva [commandment] in that only now does it become revealed to all that the path of the Creator is only faith.
Excerpt # 65 reader (42:10 - 43:15)
65. Rabash, Article 12 (1989), “What Is a Groom’s Meal?”
a person should accept faith above reason even though he has no feeling and no excitement about taking upon himself the burden of the kingdom of heaven. Nevertheless, he should agree with that state and say that this must be the will of the Creator that he will work and serve Him in this lowliness, so he does not mind what elation he feels about this faith because about himself, meaning his own benefit, he has no concern, but only about the benefit of the Creator. If He wants him to remain in that state, he accepts this unconditionally. This is called “unconditional surrender.
19. R. We don't know what to do with this, what we're reading, why? Because we do not ascribe ourselves to the system of the soul, the ten Sefirot or to the group that I have to find my connection with them. I read Faith Above Reason this way, what can I do with it? Do something very simple. connect, connect in such a way that there will be no difference between me and them, between everyone, so that we are one spiritual Partzuf. Then when we come together we will feel what is spirituality, what is the spiritual Partzuf, how does the Creator work inside it, we will already be in, instead of people I will already feel ten Sephirot in which the upper forces this is already the upper world it is not our world and by that I'm shifting one world to the other. In this way I will continue to exist specifically through that I will care about corporeality because I'm not entirely disconnected from it to spirituality, but I will care for it as something necessary. As taking care of the horse and donkey, some animals that I have next to me by which I sustain myself, but all my spiritual work towards the Creator is inside the Kli and inside this Kli the Creator is giving me something as the host and I, as the guest relate to Him, all inside this Kli the ten the guest and the host meet together inside the ten, “I to my beloved and my beloved to me” and this is all of our work. Therefore when we read all of these excerpts think how do you actualize them in the ten and if somebody doesn't have a ten he must very quickly make certain he has one otherwise progress can be only about what's written in the book never be able to actualize, the wisdom of Kabbalah is a practical wisdom and I'm being taught from on lesson to the next how to actualize the connection more until I start to discover according to the intensity of the connection the Creator who is between us more and more. This is how we attach ourselves to one another until we become a single Kli as it was for the sin of the tree of knowledge before the ruin of Adam HaRishon and then we connect between us and we feel the inside of us the Creator, the upper worlds, our eternal state, we reach eternity, we rise to the degree of Ein Sof to the degree of faith, bestowal above reason
20. S. (46:55) It seems to me, that as we are constantly trying to do it my question is in the state where we haven't yet reached it, we're just doing work all the time, we know that these are hard efforts great efforts and we constantly discover that we discover that some humanity, you're not there yet, how you're the opposite of it, the next stage is it possible to reach true joy, in joy, in your emotions or it's only because your mind tells you that this is how it is that it's indirect joy?
R. The fact that I'm no longer like a common person in the world but instead the Creator brought me to the group and told me take this for yourself, means that he prepared a place for me. He wants to reveal to me a place in the eternal system where we all are and I was awarded with Him doing this and he's doing it in a very deliberate way by the arm by the hand and bringing me like a mother bring her child to kindergarten for the first time. That's how it takes me and then he says this is your group and you make the connection here and through the connection you will start knowing me and I cannot do more for you than to bring you to the group everything else well we will meet in the group where I will appear to you as the kindergarten caretaker or as the friends, it doesn't matter, but you connect and there you will come to know me and there you will grow. Well I don't know you can have another visualization or whatever.
S. The question is when I think in my analysis, I am using my ego always
R. Joy is an outcome to the extent which I come to the Creator that needs to be the source of joy and I conduct scrutiny where do I get my joy from?
21. S. (49:42) What does it mean to reach eternity is there another kind of existence somewhere else?
R. Everything else in is in our imagination in our will to receive, there's only one place, only one world, the Creator, the spiritual world, the force of bestowal. Their similarity or rather this imagination that we exist outside of Him in our world and that exists so that we make an effort enjoying His world but our world indeed is called the imaginary world where we exist in order to show that we want to integrate in the Creator's world and there's no other reality. There's only the reality of the 10 Sephirot of bestowal.
22. S. (50:59) According to the text, what is the state that a person takes upon himself faith above reason but at the same time he's in lowness?
R. Yes, he is in lowliness because what can he take pride in, he makes efforts to connect to the power of bestowal to do everything that this force of bestowal dictates it means that he meaning his ego and he's glad about that.
23. S. (51:38) How to correctly connect to the spiritual root?
R. To the group.
24. S. (51:50) Is it enough that I bestow to the ten and then the entire ten bestow to each friend or does each friend have to bestow to the ten?
R. Mostly I have to detect the ten, their force, their energies, their spirit, their goals, their desires and adhere to them as much as I can, that's it. To annul myself you can read what Rabash writes.
25. S. (52:32) Those nine desires of mine in such adhesion they become one?
R. 10 friends connect together into one system, this happens through the influence of the upper light and then we discover that we exist in a system which exists in order to attach itself more and more to attach these ten parts, these ten parts together more and more so that in the connection between them the essence of the connection between them will be the Creator.
S. We can act all of us together and we want to bestow from our connection to the Creator to give him a place to be revealed, does his desire meet our desire is there a meeting place, a meeting point?
R. If you want to connect in order to give him room to be revealed so that your bestowal will be like His bestowal, you discover mutual forces of bestow “I for my beloved and my beloved for me” as we say and then you discover Him within the connection between you. Meaning that your connection takes on the shape or form of the Creator that's why it's called BoReh, come and see, you build me. We succeeded in connecting so much that the form of our connection is that force of bestowal called the Creator that we connect more and more and more above our ego which constantly grows and we will connect more tightly, in a more scrutinized way and the Creator will be revealed increasingly more. Before we connect, there is no Creator there's a general Force which governs us, but the actual Creator is what's revealed between us, we raise MAN to him, we receive from Him and we want to ourselves the more we can connect the more we activate Him he activates us, this is all the upper world..
S. We seemingly raise MAN to him from our connection so His MAD in what manner will it come down to us as a form of connection?
R. For the time being yes we don't know exactly what we receive but what we know if we control all of our desires, the connection between them and we raise a demand for him and we know what the demand is and into that demand we will receive a reply and then we MAN and MAD which clothe upon each other and we will be building the new reality.
S. What happens in parallel within the desire itself, we discover the presence of the Creator?
R. We will see how it happens.
26. S. (56:24) A person should ask himself what does the Creator want out of me, towards connection and dissemination, how will I know what the Creator wants towards the ten, towards connection, it's clear because we have Rabash advice to go against the ego and annulment. Towards dissemination it is less clear, because here the ego is involved, how do I check what the Creator wants from me regarding dissemination?
R. To connect the whole vessel which is broken and scattered into the original ten Sephirot called the soul of Adam HaRishon, that is what He wants, that we call the corrected state, the state of the end of correction.
S. So in dissemination the scrutiny is also only internal?
R. That's upon you to do, of course there is scrutiny, it's not up to you to complete the work by sustaining your group, no, establishing your group, no, you have to reach a state where through the group you guide all of creation according to the Creator.
S. Question is more corporeal dissemination the expression of dissemination should also be in my… should I do clips or articles I don't know, should a person scrutinize the manifestation also?
R. I don't know, maybe you can stand out in the street and shout work organizer right you need to search for the way to express the Creator’s will.
S. How do I scrutinize it, that's the question?
R. Ask but don't drop it on me, I'm not your kindergarten caretaker. You have to be worried about how do I perform what the Creator asks of me.
27. S. (58:44) How can a question within reason, point us to above reason?
R. Asking a question within reason I'm asking how to rise above reason, because above reason you find the will of the group, the will of the Creator and I want these desires of the group and within the group and within the Creator, I want that will to guide me in all my actions. That is what I try to, how I try to establish myself towards the purpose of creation. if I submit myself and accept the reason of the ten as replacements to my own reason, that's how I advance.
28. S. (1:00:02) I know what the friends want for me to come to the morning lesson, that's their desire instead of that I lie in bed, I want to sleep, where can I take the power to specifically actualize the desire of the friends and not mine?
R. Try to detach from your will and think of how now you want to do the will of the Creator. I am now lying in bed, right, I understand you and I share your sorrow and now I want to rise to the desires of a Creator, the will of the Creator. So I have two options here, either I could feel my bodily desires or maybe I want to fulfill the Creator's desire, it's one of the two, if I fill the Creators will, then I'm performing a principal spiritual action by which I attribute myself with the Creator and then all my following actions will come out of me having risen from my degree to His degree. So that's how I try to elevate myself and perhaps maybe it's not proficient for me to think about the group but the fact that I now choose as if to belong to my body or the Creator think about it more and more and more, I think about it, don't get up and more and more and more but don't disconnect from this thought. Where I want to follow the Creators will or not, yes or no, yes or no, and you'll see how you will find the strength to get up and to maintain these thoughts always. I am not as hypnotized, walking around doing the Creators will, whatever he wants I'm going to do. Try it later on, I'll give you more advice.

29. S. Where and in what do we apply faith above reason in the ten?
R. When from the moment when you decide, the first day when you entered the wisdom of Kabbalah and heard about faith above reason rather and if you have a ten you're capable of, it can be a group of 5 but the small group, you want to reach the purpose of life to open up the upper world the Creator, to live a spiritual life and eternal life right now. Then in order to rise from the degree of a beast to the degree of the speaking that you can do only by applying faith above reason and if you do not do that, you remain on the degree of the animate. Still vegetative and animate are the degrees of this world, this is how you're born you live and you die. If you rise to the degree of faith the degree of bestowal, the force of the Creator you acquire then your desires which you annul which you transition from in order to bestow in the ten together you receive the force of will receive, together, then you become a Partzuf. A spiritual formation even though your body may die, there's no connection between your bodies and that you constructed and then before bodily death you're already in the sensation of eternal life through the connection between you and attaining the Creator, that's how you continue. So the desirable form that we need to attain is such that we come to build the vessel and is fulfilled to a certain degree before we pass on from this world, clear and that's why you have this opportunity, you, all of you have this opportunity so please fill it.
30. S. (1:07:07) How to disconnect in the thought about yourself and start to feel the Creator's desire?
R. More and more you need to think about how when you think about yourself you're thinking about your beast. it's a body it's a piece of carbon thinking of how to exist more comfortably from one minute to the next that's what's happening here really, and you do not want to belong to that, you want to be long to the Eternal part of you. The part the Divine part from above as we call it, the will to bestow which you acquire together with the friends above your will to receive. Then inside of that you live. Think about it, think about it, all of you, build that form up correctly. and so you will advance.
31. S. (1:09:13) How is it possible to understand what is the view of the group, if the group doesn't manage to reach a single uniform reason or view?
R. I don't understand what it means that the group cannot understand a uniform reason, you don’t need to do that, who are you? The Rabash writes to you what you need to do, you have disagreements on this, you have different understanding, you disagree with him in the spiritual world and you actually have something to go against what he says? I don't understand this group agrees, or doesn't agree. You need to understand, we are in disagreement and we're going to remain as beasts, fine, each one in his place. But it should be clear to you what it means that you disagree. About a state where you are indecisive like the Kabbalists say it's called the fool sits idly and eats his own flesh and you will keep sorry about why don't I have it, why do I have it you should never have it. That is because there are spiritual laws which if you follow you get it and if you don't you don't. So there's nothing to complain about here. When will I have it? When? When you decide to have it, because it all depends on your actions. and the Creator doesn't concede an inch because it's a law that was given and it cannot be violated.
32. S. (1:11:18) How to hold on to the thought, how to not disconnect the thought?
R. That depends on the ten and on the ten you have to constantly awaken yourself. I have to constantly awaken the others and through that I also protect myself, against disconnecting I maintain constant advancement, I need to feel relative to the friends as a mother as a kindergarten caretaker and so on and so to constantly behave.
33. S. (1:12:10) ....
R. The Creator won't give you any rest don't worry, you see what he does with corporeality with this world, you see what he does and it is most especially us. In the 21st century we entered a situation where the whole world whether they want to or not, they are pulled quickly towards the goal. So we can not remain quiet and do nothing, you cannot run anywhere, to make a calm life for yourself, with no problems. You belong to the general system of the souls and wherever you are these forces will come to you which will push you and you will need to perform these actions. So it is worthwhile for us to learn what each one must do and to advance towards the goal and the goal isn't far away, it is attainable and today we have many means for it, many systems and also instructions on how to do this so let us work together it is all right in front of us and we can get there quickly. I am very happy that Poland is with us.
34. S. (1:14:01) When I take action to fulfill the desire of the Creator how do I discern if there is a state of fulfilling my ego in it?
R. I don't want to check this, I don't want to check that, I want to entirely be inside within the group's desires and if I am there with my desire or not, however much I am capable of doing it, it doesn't matter to me, the main thing is to lose my head and jump into the will of the group and work there. That is the safest action for the purpose of advancing.
35. S. (1:15:06) You said that I pushed myself in between them, is called take that, then I should chase after the friends and kiss their feet and hands from morning to evening?
R. Correct, what is the question?
S. That is what I wanted to say.
R. That is good you now understand what is upon you to do in your own best interest.
36. S. (1:15:52) When we see all of the different views or the states where we disagree can we say that we are discovering the posterior of the Creator?
R. Well, you can say that but why be confused with that, later it will become clear to you. You can say this, you can't say that, later you will discover and you will say this is the Achoraim this is the Panim and so on.
37. S. (1:16:31) He writes at the end of a paragraph that he doesn't feel the ways of the Creator he feels, and loneliness is this a state that is suitable for prayer?
R. Each and every state is worthy for the purpose of prayer you can turn to the Creator from each and every state.
