Morning Lesson April 17, 2021 Transcription
1. Rav’s Introduction: Yes, this is basically the main topic, our request to the Creator which activates the Creator’s work, operation towards us and without this, he does not wake up. Because it is not according to the desires, our progress. Raising MAN is basically the only action we could say that we need to learn to do and to do it every day and precisely to the extent that we become more experts, more experienced in this, more determined in this action, and our level is Malchut. Because it is clear to us that only in our connection to the Creator which is only through MAN and MAD, everything depends on this. On the other hand we read that more than the calf wants to suckle, the cow wants to nurse. Meaning that desire of the Creator which is a hundred percent desire to bestow, which is aimed towards us completely and if we do not progress to raise to him our deficiencies, to receive from him then the Creator regrets this and this is called the sorrow of Shechina, divinity who really wants to correct us and fulfill us. But if we still do not demand this, we don't request from him it is as if, God forbid the child is sick, and the parents can’t feed him, they cannot give him the abundance. So we also have to understand the sorrow of the Shechina because if he wants to work in order to bestow this is what we have to be worried about.
That means that from our side how much we work in order to satisfy the Creator’s desire and not our selfish desire. To think about the sorrow of the Shechina, of the Creator. This is why it is also written that make your will as his will, so that the Creator would make his will as your will. This is actually raising MAN when we need to see how we can unite the friends and connect them together in order to bring about making of the vessel which is the place in which we can receive from the Creator everything he wants to give. This way we can progress, basically our work is aimed entirely towards the Creator but in order to turn to him correctly we have to delve into the correct relationship between us to take from there the deficiencies and raise those deficiencies. This is basically our work.
Besides this we must not forget that we are in a state of the last generation when everything we reveal between the friends we do that in order to correct these relationships and then we have to know to ask for from the Creator. We also need to see among the ten and between the whole Bnei Baruch organization and humanity that everything that happens to this day, is happening as a preparation for the continuation of the shattering which we must now in the last generation begin to correct. Meaning that there weren’t corrections before us. They were all still continuations, a very long continuation of the breaking of the vessel of Adam HaRishon to this day. And if we begin to raise MAN in order to correct our relationships, this is really the request for correction that we raise to the Creator after the breaking of the vessel of Adam HaRishon.
In other words the last generation is the generation that corrects everything that appears as shattering before it. And all the great ones the Sages through the ages, they were only doing the preparation so we could realize this in practice between us. The process that humanity went through and we went through is a process of breaking so we today would begin to see this as a preparation for correction and this is revealed precisely In our last generation. Let's try to understand the essence of our relationships as relationships between broken vessels in the system of Adam HaRishon and ask for this, raise MAN for this, ask the Creator to create connections between us so that we would have desires that are ready to receive the abundance from the Creator which he so wants to give because more than the calf wants to suckle the cow wants to nurse, so let's go to our material.
Excerpt 13 (07:49 - 09:07)
2. R. But these sufferings we have to process them correctly and not the personal suffering we should try to shift them into the suffering of the Shechina, of the Creator of the whole broken vessel of Adam HaRishon. This suffering because that person now discovered that there is corruption here, a breaking, which the person can correct, therefore here lies the problem which we now have to raise and by raising MAN the Creator is the one who corrects, we only ask. Because the upper light knows how to do this operation and not we ourselves, but we have to detect the broken state and ask for its correction and by this we are not concerned with ourselves, we are concerned also only with the general vessel.
Reading again Excerpt 13 (10:20 - 11:31)
3. R. Only the deficiencies, we only have to arrange them correctly nicely so that is not that we are suffering but the Shechina, the Creator is suffering, he wants to correct the vessel, he wants to bring it to perfection, to wholeness and we only need to rise from the degree of feeling our selfish harm, how much we are suffering from that to how much the group is suffering, mankind is suffering and the Creator is suffering. The more the person can go outside of himself in this, to the more external vessels, this is really the right processing of the deficiency that is revealed. The Creator reveals in us, in the personal problems and we have to process them and raise them to general deficiencies and ask for their correction from the Creator.
4. S. (12:46) It says that the lower is in the ascent in the upper one, the Creator.
R. The lower one wakes up the upper one to act, asking the upper one to perform the corrections and to fulfill the corrected vessel. So there are two operations here, first is correction that comes from the upper to the lower and then the lower is corrected and then it is possible to receive the fulfillment. Those two operations are done by the upper one and the lower one. And this is what we have to be ready for and want it to happen. The correction we ask for is the connection between the broken pieces to the extent that these pieces connect and unite and then it will be possible to fulfill the corrected vessel. The connection does not depend on the size of the pieces but on the intensity of the breakage that they reveal between them and according to this intensity of the breaking when they approach unification, connection, accordingly the fulfilment, the upper light can be revealed in them according to the intensity and the nature of the corruption and the correction and it this is how it works.
S. What is the need to build the Shechina, how to feel it?
R. The person feels it to the extent that he tries to get into it and to feel how far he is from others and how much he wants to unite with others it is not something theoretical it is not as easy for something in the air it is practical and this is about we need to implement in practice between us in our desires, not in our thoughts.
S. How is that expressed in the desires, this sorrow of divinity?
R. The sorrow of the Shechina means that I feel the sorrow of the Creator who wants to correct and fulfill the created beings, but the created beings don't want it and they are not ready for this. Yet the whole difference between before creation and after the creation of the created beings, is that the created beings become like partners in the correction. And here the Creator cannot act but only to the extent that the created beings demand this from him, asking from him, to the extent they can understand what the Creator does and they want him to do this.
S. The desires of the friends that I feel, so how can I feel the desire of the Creator wanting to bestow?
R. Through the desire to get closer to the friends we will also be able to feel the desire to participate in this from the Creator. It comes gradually through these searches it comes. All in all it is in us except that it is still underneath the threshold of feeling is so we don't feel this. Besides this is what we say about little children that there are many activities we do next to them with them and they do not know they do not perceive them, they participate only passively, the same happens with us.
5. S. (17:37) The reaching the sorrow of divinity, how can it be clearer?
R. The sorrow of divinity, Shechina, means that I see in my friends in my group that we cannot come to a stage to be one man with one heart, this is the sorrow of divinity, the sorrow of the Schechina and I regret it. The more I regret it, the more I am sorry about it and the more I can imagine that the Creator is several times more sad about it according to my degree which is nearly zero and his degree is a hundred. So to that accordingly his sorrow is greater. Let's say that a child is sick and cannot eat, cannot sleep, cannot drink, nothing, it only cries, so think how much it suffers compared to the suffering of the mother who with all of her whole nature she exerts and tries everything she can but she suffers nevertheless. This is the sorrow of Schechina, and you can put it this way we can't really compare the degrees but this is how it is.
6. S.(19:15) A person on the spiritual path works on the group and we discover these deficiencies so the Creator brings a personal problem personal deficiency, so do we have to relate it to the general correction what does that mean?
R. I always need to try to convey the problems and desires that I discover, any trouble. That I attribute to my spirituality, to the spirituality of the whole society. So I will not be feeling my own sorrow because it is selfish but I have to feel the sorrow of the environment, the society, the group only in this way can I progress towards feeling the right deficiency on which I can ask the Creator to correct and fulfill.
S. This means that if the person tries to connect in the group and cannot, so he cannot ask he knows it is because of him because of his perception which is corrupt, so he cannot ask for himself?
R. Yes, the person can ask about it we are not talking about this, we are talking about relationships in the group if the person sees this then he needs to ask the Creator specifically about this that the he cannot connect, this is the person's work this is his personal work if he can put it this way asking for the connection in the group asking from the Creator because he himself cannot do it, unable to do it as much as he may try and try, all the corrections. We have to understand that all the corrections don't come from the operations from below only through an illumination from above. This is why there are many people who do all kinds of activities among themselves, they do not really do anything effective. It is not redundant but they don't lead us directly to corrections. The real corrections are to the extent to which the person quickly raises all the deficiencies for connection up. Some still do not care, some sit and cry like the fool sitting with his arms folded eating his own flesh, some work with the group physically, it works, but it only works as a preparation for the right request to the Creator. When it comes to the request to the Creator there is the real and correct work when the person asks the Creator for what he really thinks that is missing and then sees how his knowledge, his perception of the situation changes because the Creator is beginning to correct his vision, correct his questions and his MAN the Creator starts to correct and this way he is already in mutual work with the upper force.
7. S. (23:25) You made an emphasis that we are in the last generation, and that it’s essential to integrate in the vessel of the 10 and the whole world kli and humanity. How to incorporate a prayer of the whole world?
R. Just think about what we are learning and not what you feel like. We are learning in stages and in stages we will advance. The fact that you heard that this is the last generation and the whole mankind has to be in this. Don't jump, you don't have the vessels, you don't have the feeling how to do this, so drop this for the time being. What we are now learning about, we are only speaking about generally, don’t do anything with it. We cannot do anything about it because we still haven't corrected anything, the connection with your close friends, and you want to go to humanity with this? So do not do such things because it will only confuse you and you will be scattering, your energy and nothing will come out of you, if you work according to your own intellect. So, first of all, everything has to be directed toward the 10 and also the connection between the 10. Sometimes connection with the general world but it's only in order to receive from their deficiencies for the connection in the 10, to make it even more powerful. Only this way do we need to arrange ourselves and not to begin to immediately correct ourselves even with the general vessel of Bnei Baruch and with humanity. No, we still don’t have the basis, the connection in the 10. This is the problem. When we have our personal kli, vessel, the whole 10 together then we can think onwards what to do next.
8. S.(26:03) We Are the last generation for the exile so we are the first generation for correction and redemption and we are the Creator’s partner, so how can we correct the broken vessels with minimal suffering to the Creator, and for us to raise the right MAN to the Creator?
R. We learn about this all the time, I do not know what else to add. You are asking how to perform corrections and only through connection because the whole topic is the breaking that we have to correct, to unite the broken pieces. How can we unite them? By raising MAN, by a request to the Creator which has to be a correct request. What are we asking? For the connection between us. We are broken pieces so that we will feel where we are not connected, how can we connect. By what forces can we become connected and so on. We have to look for all these things, how they can happen, how they can be, to whom we are turning. And this is how we come to it.
S. Most of the corruption I see is in the 10 itself, meaning how can we within the 10 connect despite all the rejections and the coarseness in us. This is the question, how can we raise MAN?
R. The main correction is, of course, in the 10 itself, each in his own 10. There is the correction and there is the connection. And everything else that he wants to add to ourselves, the external tens and the whole humanity, that's another thing, it will come later. It is just an addition that will join into the original 10 of mine. And I will have to work on them, the same as I work with the problems inside the 10. Everything is still clothed inside the 10.
9. S. (28:56) When we talk about raising a deficiency, are we saying that we should ask the Creator to feel that the friend is missing and this is our deficiency we want to attain?
R. Perhaps, this too. The main thing that we want is to feel ourselves together, to the extent and in a way of togetherness that is enough for the Creator to be revealed and enjoy this. And before this, we have to picture to ourselves the sadness of the Schechina to the extent that an individual regrets this. Then to the extent that the upper force, which entirely operates us completely and envelopes, holds us in His hand, how much He regrets that we do not want to be connected properly to each other. Imagine to yourselves the sadness of the Schechina like the mother who is suffering because the child is not well.
10. S. (30:57) How can we pass from the feeling that the Creator is the absolute and needs nothing from us to the feeling that He is suffering like Schechina suffers?
R. There are several stages to the way that the created being imagines the Creator. There is a higher force that is totally unrelated to us, the upper one. It is not related to our reality at all. There is a force that is already related to our reality that created it, sustains it, fulfilling it and this reality exists entirely in this force, which is called the Creator. There is a force which already begins to establish or design this reality closer to us, more restricted. And begins to establish our reality with our will to receive with all inclinations, qualities and degrees. This is what we learn in the four phases of the direct light. After the four phases of direct light and this whole process, these discernments of the will to receive which He created go through determine how he tends to it. So from the perspective of the Creator, we can also learn, see five levels but those five highest levels when there is seemingly no connection between the upper force and the created beings, here we have no business at all. What happens with us after we finish the corrections and come to more equivalence of form with none else besides Him and His glory fills the world, and other such degrees that are above correction and corruption. When we come to this, we will talk about it. We are talking about the Creator, called Bo Reh, ‘come and see.’ The One who we see according to our corrections and connections, relatively.
S. Regarding the sadness of divinity, can we say that the sorrow of divinity is the understanding and the feeling in the 10 of what connection should be, what connection the Creator is expecting from us?
R. No, here, you are switching, replacing the state of the Schechina with the state of the group. But continue, nonetheless.
11. S. (34:28) On one hand, the Creator is in complete rest. He doesn’t change, never will change. On the other hand, I am asking Him to start doing something to start changing, how can I arrange my request?
R. The Creator can change me and everything is in His hands. He is inside these changes above these changes, the Creator has no limitations.
12. S. (35:14) How to feel the sadness of the Creator and we feel that he is the one who arranged this?
R. Yes, He wants to bring the created beings to His level, to the level of the Creator and this is why He actually takes us through all those states. He has no other choice because we have to consist of all the states that are opposite from the Creator, and all the states that are the Creator, Himself. In this way, ‘as the advantage of the light from within the darkness,’ we have to consist of both and then the created being can be on the very same level as the Creator.
13. S. (36:04) Sometimes we can't even start praying. Can we write and read a prayer?
R. Yes, I know from myself, I would do the same thing, I used to do the same thing. I would write it on the computer and look at what I wrote and correct it and add. Gradually, let's say over 10 minutes, I could put together several sentences. It is good especially with the computer where you can delete and start again and do something else differently. It is good.
Excerpt 14 (36:50 - 37:10)
14. R. In other words, if we don't start from below then there is no response from above. There is a response -- otherwise how would we get to the wisdom of Kabbalah, the work of the Creator so there is work from above -- but it is not personal, it is general when all of mankind receives some awakening from above. But now we want to go into the personal relationship from below.
Excerpt 14 cont. And read again (37:38 - 40:50)
15. R. That are no questions. The excerpts are too long and speak about several states, so this hard to focus on something specific. There could be two or three separate excerpts from this one.
16. S. (41:24) What is this special education? It says that I should get a special education?
R. Special education is how to connect to the Creator and begin to work mutually with Him. When you ask of Him and He works according to your request.
17. S. (41:54) Should we ask about the restriction, the screen and reflected light. Should we ask for all three?
R. If you come to this, you will see if you have to ask for everything you need to do for every correction and sub-correction that you have to do. Or about the general correction. You will see when we get there, you cannot answer it right now, right away. In truth, you will have to raise man for every little detail but it might be that the general request will also include specific requests that will become clarified in practice.
18. S. (42:50) What is the May Nukvin and the Mayin Duchrin, and what are the conditions where we receive them?
There is the Mayin Nukvin, MAN which we raise from below, rising from below up -- from the person to the Creator -- and then there is the Mayin Duchrin, MAD, which come from above downward from the Creator to the person. That’s it.
S. It is just that we are saying that the Creator always bestows, so what exactly are these Mayin Duchrin?
R. The fact that the Creator always gives is unrelated to us. He gives, He sustains all the work of creation, everything. But, here, we are talking about the person's personal work with the Creator not what He always gives. It is clear that the Creator always gives, that He always sustains creation. It is also clear that He brings all the creations to the final correction. But within that process, I want to establish my personal relation to the Creator “I am for my beloved and my beloved for me”.
S. It turns out that we always have to feel the Creator's answer?
R. Well, not always, but let's say you are right. We certainly have to yearn for this.
19. S.(44:48) When we raise a request from below, the correction that comes is never pleasant because we get a correction where we have to go on our own to the Creator, so how can we feel that this is good for us, because the first feeling, impact, makes us always negative refuse this correction. How can we accept this work happily to make this transition?
R. About this it is written, ‘make your desire like His,’ before that there is nothing to do. You cannot ask for something you do not want. This is like the book says so I’ll ask for it. I’m taking the prayer book, the Siddur, and start reading a prayer someone else has written. He wrote it, these are his problems, his work, something he discovered, not me. If I really want to turn to the Creator, I have to do it on my own. That’s why there’s a problem here. I have to examine my heart and the purpose of creation, how connected I am to that or not. About this, it is written that you should make your desire like His. Before that, there is nothing you can ask for.
20. Reader: (46:47) Rav, do you want us to read this excerpt again in pieces because it’s got 3 paragraphs?
R. It is better if you don't have very long excerpts. We have to take the public into consideration. Until they get the first time what is written, what can they ask? How is it considered that we’re going through this subject if we don’t know how to chew it properly?
Excerpt 14: Rav interpreting sentence by sentence
21. R. (47:46) Nothing can be attained if not through the power of prayer. That it is upon us to do only one thing, to pray, ask anything, good, bad, whatever.
22. R. (48:18) It is impossible for something to come from above if we are not requesting it from below. It can come but it is coming as a general providence.
23. S. (48:50) Something a little different, what is the quality of Lishma? What should we ask for in order to reach Lishma?
R. In Lishma what we want is that all we feel which is wrong, we can correct it in a way that the correction won't be for our sake but only for the sake of the Creator. Lishma means that everything is for the Creator, according to how He relates to us. We learn that the entire creation comes from the Creator’s desire to do good to the creatures in various ways. So as we turn to Him, we have to turn according to this understanding. How we end this doing good to the creatures, the creatures are us, so not according to our ego but to be adapted to Him, to resemble Him. He wants to do good to us, we only want to do good to each other and by this we give Him the opportunity to do good to us, this is how we work.
S. And what if I discover in the moment that everything I do is only for my own sake, for what should I yearn because you can’t attain it?
R. I understand that whatever I asked for, pray for, cry for, everything will be only for my own good, so what should I do if I still want to rise above my ego and come closer to the Creator? So nonetheless I ask Him to help me rise above my ego to come closer to the friends. This is how it is expressed in practice, to come out of myself to come closer to the friends. This is what it means to come out of myself and to come closer to the Creator. This is the same as we learn that whatever is outside of the person's will to receive, outside of the person's ego, a person cannot see it or feel it. So if I am asking to help me connect to my friends, to the extent I discover that I am capable of connecting to them, this way I am taking a step towards connecting to the Creator, this is how we should try to do this and imagine this.
24. S. (52:18) What is the common work of the friends in raising MAN, it seems like a personal work from the text that a person is raising prayer?
R. Yes, but when we are together in the group, each one even by his thoughts, not controlling them that much, maybe he is controlling them, we are mingling in our thoughts, we’re bestowing, we’re affecting one another by our thoughts, and even though it seems to you that you’re doing some personal work, it is incorrect. We are entirely in a field, the group affects you and you affect the group. And the more you imagine yourself to be alone, you are not alone, you are truly working together with them.
S. Does the person turn to the friends at all, or he turns from the friends to the Creator, meaning are we turning to the friends when we raise MAN at all?
R. Why not? You want to awaken the friends, to gather them together as much as possible, when you are together you can turn to the Creator so He can rise you above the state you are in. Rising means to take up on yourselves a certain quality of bestowal, from Malchut to Bina, this is what you want.
S. When we want to connect to the friends, to connect in order to raise the MAN, so how to connect to the friends with the right intention, how can we unite first of all?
R. Sometimes in practice, sometimes only in your thoughts, in your desires.
25. S. (54:38) It is written that if there is no awakening from below, there is no answer from above. What is the importance of raising MAN from below because until now, we did not get an awakening?
R. You should try according to what you learn, hear, feel, what you read and you should try accordingly to activate yourselves. This is not a problem. Even as Africans you can look at what is going on, how the entire mankind went through all kinds of states of corporeal development in technological development and culture and all other things. It reached Africa only several years later, but so what? That does not mean anything, it is to the contrary, I would say. That towards the last generation, it joins the corrections, Africa. And it is not a downside, the times they went through in the past hundreds of years, lagging behind in technology or scientifically. On the contrary, they are awakening, now. The upper providence is awakening them in order to connect them to the final correction, to the last generation. Before that, they did not. It is actually a very interesting phenomenon. We will talk about it and learn about it. On the one hand, the entire mankind came from Africa. On the other hand, in the last generation Africa is only now joining the correction. This is interesting. Do not be despaired and don't let it go. You will advance more and more, I am certain.
26. S. (58:06) You said that I can't ask for something I don't really want. How do I check myself first? If I check myself and discover that during the common prayer, for example, that I don't want it from the bottom of the heart, that I don't have it in me. I don't want the quality of bestowal for all the friends. What do I do?
R. First of all not wanting is a natural thing as we work with the desires, with the change of desires. That you basically don't have this in any science or any method of changing the desires. Here you enter the wisdom of Kabbalah in such a method that changes your desires, even more than the desires, it changes your intentions. And not simply intentions but rather from in order to receive to in order to bestow. Meaning it makes you the opposite of what you were. What can you do, we have to understand that this is a new method, a new science, we have to understand how we relate to it. Not like any other mundane earthly thing.
S. In that case I can ask for what we read in the excerpt, a deficiency to work with pleasure not for myself?
R. You can ask for anything but its best if you ask for things that you think you should acquire but you can't. So that you will really have a deficiency, a deficiency means that I want but I can't. So here we are talking about a deficiency for a deficiency. I want to have a desire to give. So I am asking to have this desire for desire. I can't ask to give but to have a desire for a desire to give is something I can do. So I am asking, whatever happens, happens. And the Creator understands the state that I am in, the upper degree feels the lower one, me. Then it does what it should, just like a baby, when he cries his mother understands why he is crying.
27. S. (1:01:31) There is a condition that we call, “He for me, I for Him.” Does the Creator expect action from us only in the final correction so that we come to Dvekut?
R. The Creator is expecting our actions right now and these actions should gradually lead us to the final correction.
28. S. (1:02:23) Can you explain the difference between receiving manna or receive MAD?
R. MAN or Manna is a request from below, upwards. From the person to the Creator, MAD means from above, downward, from the Creator to man.
29. S. (1:03:01) This education that it talks about, is this education a gradual building through the reforming light, through all the operations that we do, the actions, the reading of articles, the connection through prayers?
R. Yes. That's all in all, what we are doing, changing ourselves. We call this educating ourselves in a way that will be more suitable, more adapted to the upper force. Until we join it and until we become so connected to it that we carry out His desire according to our desire and understanding. That we are really incorporated in His system and then the upper force accepts us from the degree of thought to the degree of action. Then we really carry out the actions and also His desire, His thought, this is where we are incorporated, also the actions we should do, we also carry out this is the adhesion of the created being in the Creator. This is how we should do it. This work is very special and being able to connect to the upper force through our actions. In the upper force, there is no action but through our actions we start discovering His desire, His thoughts, incorporate in them, and this way to understand, to feel, to attain Him. This the meaning of the verse ‘from your actions we shall know you.’ How can it be that from my actions being the created being that I can attain the Creator? So we have this possibility, doing such actions that we extend the Creator's desire by our actions, and then the Creator within our actions is revealed. Then we discover Him and we correct ourselves more and more until we become an inseparable part of Him even though we are the created beings. This means that we reach adhesion in Him. We are yet to talk about that but it will become clearer each time.
30. S. (01:06:12) I am confused about your saying that we have to scrutinize our intentions in the 10, that we have to come out of our egos and unite with our friends. I know that you can't delve into work in the 10 so I want to ask, what is an example of a successful 10? Take the focus group for example we look at the relationships and how they speak among them. That they listen to each other, support and add to one another. Is there another 10 like our 10 for example, where the relationships are more gentlemanlike and polite. We may not really listen to each other, we read more excerpts and the friends say they have nothing to add to one another so it is as if the first group really does all the principles we learn about and the other is more reserved and polite. Maybe our relationships are artificial, how can a 10 succeed?
R. I can't answer that in a precise manner but rather you can never compare one person to another, more over another 10 with another 10. Not at all, each one has a special place in the system of Adam HaRishon in the general soul and you can’t have a comparison or research of comparison between them at all. These 10 and these 10, each one is so different from the other, this is why what is right for one group is completely unsuitable for another. (Rav reads names of many groups on screen) You can't compare and this is why one group is more successful in one thing and another is not at all but it is successful in something else because each and every group has its own role. Their own role. Some are more successful in the connections but they are less successful in dissemination. That too is very important. Meaning, you can't really compare or measure these things but envying each other by looking at what they are doing that we can't do is something that is desirable. It is worthwhile for us to envy the other tens as much as possible on the one hand and on the other hand you will never have this stage where everyone is equal, everyone's the same. On the contrary, the more inequality is a sign that we're advancing. Looking at humanity, the more that we are advancing, the more species, the more shapes that you have, everything appears in a simple way of these general elements of nature, the fundamentals until they become living cells that start procreating. This is the way it always is so the difference between the groups comes to show that we are more developed.
S. To what extent can we interfere in other people's lives if they have problems at work or with health, family problems, and so on? Or should we only focus on connection? To what extent can we help friends scrutinize problems that are not spiritual?
R. Each and every person should know that the group will do everything that he needs in order to advance in life, to advance in the group, to advance in the study that they are standing by his side ready to help him, but it's not that they themselves are going in and really starting to do actions in his family or his workplace. I don't know where that is, instead of him. It has to be with mutual agreement and out of love. If it's out of love then everything will fall into place. Truly, that it is clear to all that it is with love that a group can come closer to a person, a friend to support and help him for the sake of everyone.
31. S. (01:13:44) What does it mean that the corporeality of a friend is my spirituality?
R. I am helping a friend corporeally and if I do that it is not corporeal help, for me it is considered a spiritual help because the reason I am helping him is because together with him we are drawn to the spiritual goal. This is why any help even if it is corporeal is considered spiritual bestowal.
32. S. (01:14:11) How do we come to a state where we pray and ask every single moment, in ascents and descents?
R. How can we ask constantly all the time regardless of the ascents and descents and constantly being a request?
R. That all depends on the society, the group is organized from above, even though each one is in a different state that we can always receive from some of the friends to get a feeling of descent, and from others we get a feeling of ascent, through this then we can always be in such state where we always have the ability to make a prayer. In a prayer every state has to be included, incorporated, in the state of the upper and the state of the lower, if the group is somehow connected with in itself, they always have an opportunity to arrange the correct prayer. You should try, each and every one, not to ask on your own but to incorporate in the others. Nonetheless.
33. S. (01:15:57) How can the 10, a whole 10, express love toward one specific friend?
R. I don't know, that is something you should know how to do, how can the whole ten express love to one friend? It is so personal, I don't know, talk about it and whatever you decide is correct. I have nothing more to say.
34. S. (01:16:50) At what state should the 10 be to hear the MAD? What internal activities should we do to increase our sensitivity?
R. The 10 has to be connected in a way where it can feel the MAD coming to its, meaning connected because the MAD comes to the 10 in a way that it feels that it can work with it, to rise to be lost within itself. Everything is only with respect to the connection, these questions are barely able to be answered. If you want to succeed, connect more and more.
S. On behalf of the 10, does each friend put together his Man by the incorporation with the prayer of the friends?
R. Wanted or not, that's the way it happens but it is truly desirable for it to happen because, let it be this way, of course it is desirable to put our prayer together with the friends and whatever the other friends feel I examine myself, is this what I want and in this way more or less raise the MAN.
S. Does this mean that my MAN is never mine?
R. Anyway it's never yours, because you're already results with so many desires and thoughts that went through you that you don't even understand and you're not responsible. Where do your thoughts and desires come from, but if you do this intentionally wanting to be incorporated with the friends and along with them and making a prayer, that is a different intensity.
S. The exercise of raising MAN means to be incorporated with the sorrow of the 10 all the time?
R. Yes, the exercise of raising the MAN starts from you being incorporated in the desire of others, in the 10 and trying to be the one that raises MAN to the Creator. MAN is already the result of the connection of the deficiencies.
35. S. (01:20:22) When the children of Israel were in Sinai for 40 years which is a state of bestowing in order to bestow, it's a pretty static state. Can it be that the Manna they received is basically their corrected desires from above?
R. I didn't understand what you're saying and it seems to me like a great confusion, even before the question you said the sentence. Repeat.
S. The state of being in the Sinai desert, is a state of being in bestowing in order to bestow.
R. When they reach the degree Bina?
S. Yes, so that state of bestowing in order to bestow is not a very reactive state as you said, I have a group but I don't need a group, I don't need anything,
R. Who told you that?
S. That's what I understood from the lessons that bestow in order to bestow is static?
R. So is he dead?
S. I assume the MAN they received in the desert is to create them, corrected desires to advance onward?
R. I'm not understanding, I didn't say these words.
S. I'm not attributing this to you, I'm just trying to understand the content of the Manna they received.
R. MAN is not what you receive, it is what you raise. They raised questions in order to be in bestow in order to bestow, in the degree of Bina and from that they are filled, that is their food, their nourishment. This is the meaning of food from above, it is when they receive fulfillment in the light of mercy, this is what fills them.
S. They were in a state of bestowing in order to bestow?
R. The worst desires are being revealed but they want to rise above these desires by the force of the mutual connection in the degree Bina, they want to rise above their ego, the ego always grows and they all the time rise above it.
36. S. (01:23:49) How can I test if my 10 is in a correction?
R. I should accept them as Rabash writes in the social articles that they are always connected and that I examine myself and I am connected the way they are? Judge your friends on the scale of merit. This is my duty.
37. S. (01:24:44) If for example, in the 10 we scrutinized and managed to raise MAN, can there be a state where we don't detect the answering of the 10, there is an answer to the prayer but we don't detect it? What do we do then?
R. Make yourself more sensitive to the Creator that is possible through making oneself more sensitive to the friends. There is nothing else and no other means.
38. S. (01:25.32) You said every 10 is unique, should a 10 know its uniqueness, discovered and attribute this uniqueness to the whole world vessel?
R. Yes of course it should, what is the question here as each one is special and this is the reason that he took this special connection to everyone else and he can contribute his uniqueness to the whole Kli.
39. S. (01:26.29) You said a deficiency is when you want but can't so will a deficiency ever be satisfied?
R. A deficiency is filled by it remaining a deficiency and drawing a greater deficiency after it. A spiritual vessel is a deficiency to bestow to the Creator and the fulfillment of this spiritual fulfillment, is when I want to bestow to the Creator. Then it turns out that only my desire to bestow to the Creator fills me because I have nothing to feel the Creator with only to give him my desire. It is a bit not so clear but it will be clarified.
S. What does it mean to worry about the spirituality of the friends?
R. That I support whatever they need to advance towards the Creator, that I support them with everything. That is my work.
40. S. (01:28:27) Is a feeling of a deficiency a result because of the difference between the desired and existing state?
R. Yes, of course that is correct.
41. S. (01:29:31) If a friend has corporeal problems, does he have a duty to ask the 10 if he can resolve them alone or should we ask from the 10?
R. It is better if he can arrange these things on his own but if there is no choice and they can help him somehow, and this is how it is customary in the 10. It's not that they must or they owe him. He can tell them it is in the customary framework of help that he can turn to the 10 and maybe they can help him. However, whatever happens should not affect the spiritual relationship between them.
42. S. (01:30:52) You said for each detail we need to raise MAN does this mean that we are constructing Masach?
R. We are constantly building the screen with all of the ascents, descents, all of the changes bit by bit we are coming closer to a state where the screen is being built.
43. S. (01:31:33) What is the principle of not being indifferent?
R. We have to examine that all of our friends will discover their deficiencies for spirituality and we can connect all of these deficiencies and raise them upwards into one deficiency and the Creator will certainly answer this deficiency and will raise us to the next level.
44. R.(01:35:51)I understand that the topic we're learning MAN and MAD are not that close to us, they are confusing to us and they seem detached from our reality perhaps still but we need that's because by studying and discussing this, even being in suffering from this, we awaken the light that reforms. Because against the MAN and MAD we have nothing meaning the deficiencies that go from below upwards the MAN and the abundance coming from above downwards which is the MAD, all of these lights and vessels that we deal with are what progresses our soul making it more sensitive to the reception of the upper light, the attainment of the upper light. Therefore we have to keep doing this.
Excerpt 15 (01:37:09 - 01:39:40)
45. R. Even though there is a desire to bestow on the Creator's part, there has to be a demand on our part to unlock his desire to bestow upon us.
Reader continues
46. R. That we don't ask the Creator to have a desire but by asking the Creator to have a desire we actually increase and format correctly our desire which then ripens.
Reader continues
47. R. As much as we pressure the Creator that we actually process our desire correctly.
48. S. (01:39:58) How do we express in a practical way the desire to the Creator in order to awaken His desire?
R. Simply, as it is said, make your desire as His desire. We want to bring our desires as close as possible to the Creator's desires so that they match his desires. This is by bestowing to the friends as much as we can, wanting to be connected with them and then accordingly we come closer to the Creator, from the love of the created beings to the love of the Creator this is how our Kli, vessel, expands and we become fitting for receiving the abundance.
49. S. (01:41:17) I want to try and scrutinize that he says hence by praying that there will be a desire above, we have a true desire from below. What does it mean, a real desire? What we don't have a genuine desire?
R. Of course your desire is false. Means that what you say is not what your heart feels
S. What does it mean?
R. It means that what you say is not what your heart feels.
S. So what is a genuine desire?
R. That if you say I want to bestow, besides your month uttering that you need your heart to say that.
S. How do I reach a genuine desire if I don’t have one?
R. Pray to have one.
S. And after I will pray I will get it?
R. If you pray correctly then, yes.
S. The question is, is it praying or deeds in the 10 that has to bring the genuine desire?
R. You and the 10 must understand that until you have a true desire it won't happen. The Creator doesn’t relate to what you utter from your month, He reads your heart and what is in your heart you yourself don't know.
S. I'm trying to understand how I, by daily work, can reach that true desire, that genuine desire you are talking about?
R. If you come closer to the friends you'll be able to change your desire and if you identify with the friends, with everything that they want to be, then it will be exactly equal to what you want from the Creator.
S. Depends on me or from above?
R. Depends on you.
S. Me or the group?
R. You, not the group, you always look for someone else to rely on. Only you.
S. But I'm part of a group.
R. It doesn't matter that you're a part of a group it all depends on you that's it.
50. S. (01:43:56) In the desert they got MAN from above as it is written: ‘I gave bread from above’. Even though they didn't have their own deficiency. So what was the content or the spiritual part in this MAN if there wasn’t a deficiency?
R. There's always a request from below and there is an answering of it from above. So part of the path of wanting to rise to the level of Bina, means that they eat the Manna that comes from above. Meaning they receive from above from the degree of Bina the strength and these forces, fulfill them even though they don't yet receive in order to bestow but they do have fulfillment of bestowing in order to bestow. Don't think that they got nothing. The Manna that they received from above contains all of those flavors that exist in each and every kind of food, and each and every fulfillment that is. It is even said that those who wanted to taste meat, tasted meat and those who wanted to taste dairy tasted dairy, it is all included in the Manna. Meaning it is not some food that is not processed or not good or not truly nourishing, it fulfills everything this is the MAN from Bina, what is missing from MAN from Bina as opposed to MAN of Keter, only one thing that they have the lack of attainment of the giver. The lack of attaining the giver it’s like in the time of Katnut, infancy where the child attains the mother, the parent, she gives everything to him, he understands that but he doesn't understand what she is doing to feed him, (doing) for him as he doesn't have the vessels for that, later they go to what is called the land of Israel where the vessels grow and then in that MAN that they received before they now receive everything from above. It is not that it comes from the ground, this is how it says but it talks about their desires, this comes from the ground, from the land. But the MAN the light they received from above being in the land of Israel, that’s where they feel the giver more, their work more.
51. S. (01:47:23) During the lesson, how to make prayer from the heart in the simplest way?
R. I think we have to build it, we want to build it, we want to understand the urgency here, what is stopping us from feeling ourselves in spirituality or even in the final correction, it is only a lack, a deficiency on our parts, nothing else is missing. The light is at complete rest, the light of Ein Sof (infinity) is there, please go ahead, it is all in front of you. We just need vessels which have to be somewhat suitable for the light of Ein Sof according to the equivalence of form. So how does the Kli, vessel achieve the equivalence of form? It’s by being in an intention to bestow, the desire to receive cannot be changed this is what the Creator created but adding the intention to bestow is doable and with this intention he passes the Tzimtzum, restriction and comes into contact with the upper light, with the Creator. So only an intention to bestow is what we need to add, nothing else. In order to add the intention to bestow we start from Tzimtzum, restriction, the creator has set this up for us because if we were in a world where the light would shine completely we would never be able to do anything so the Creator restricted it to zero and said we are starting from the corporeal degree and gradually we enter the spiritual degree, so the difference is that in the corporeal degree we don't need to do any action to receive fulfillment and on the spiritual level we do need to make actions in order to receive the fulfillment. This is how we advance.
52. S. (01:49:53) I don't know if it's 100% connected but it is written that the evil inclination always comes with complains and justify itself it always says Luke the teacher is making fun of you, your friend's hate you, they show it to you, look at your corporate reality look what you doing with the simulation and everything it's like the devil in their dividing between us there is no spiritual knife to take care of it or something.
R. You don't understand how special is the state you're in how excellent is the state you are in, you are always eating yourself up on this, you shouldn't do mustn't, first of all spirituality begins from a person making the restriction on himself the restriction meaning it doesn't think about himself not about how others think of him but how he thinks about himself if I take into account how the friends think of me, what I think the friends think of me, I will never get into spirituality, I'll be in some simple kind of work where I don't need to see anyone and I just leave that way so you have to make a restriction overall the thoughts about yourself.
S. ID I can't ever come there is no
R. Stop thinking about yourself, just leave it be free from it, there is no you.
S. I have.
R. You don't need any power, just relieve yourself, release yourself, that's it, there is no me what they say or think, I don't hear it, the whole world is against me, whatever I as if I'm already that, that's where spirituality begins, get out of myself and think about others, that's all, try to get into this mode of feeling how much it saves a person, literally, and then we'll talk.
53. S. (01:52:54) In the text it is written on the Creator's will, what is the will of the Creator?
R. The Creator wants to make all the corrections in creation according to man’s demand, to what man wants therefore it is said make your desire, meaning man’s desire, as His desire so He will make His desire as your desire. Meaning first we have to raise a request to express our desire and then according to our desire the Creator formats and arranges His desire in order to bestow to us through that.
54. S.(01:53:54) You said a spiritual vessel is a desire to bestow to the Creator, that the spiritual feeling means me wanting to bestow towards the Creator so what's the difference between a deficiency for bestowing and a desire for bestowing?
R. A deficiency to bestow to the Creator is that I feel that He is lacking my bestowal that is it. Try to think about it in practice and how I can implement it. So I have to approach the friends and I have to kind of convince them to bestow to the Creator.
55. S. (01:54:53) Rav, we really understand how to not think about myself in relation to the friend. Let's say a person has an interview for work so he has to think about it. I'm not thinking of myself about what my friends are thinking of me. Where is my focus, what do we restrict?
R. Make a cut between this world and the spiritual world there is nothing you can do about it. just but in spirituality you have to be with the friends and then there you don't think about yourself you think about the friends you think about the Creator, a person who is immersed in himself he's not in spirituality because spirituality doesn't exist in one's ego.
S. When I take off spirituality, I'm thinking about the friends, how they get there.
R. Anything that's outside of you is called spirituality, anything is connected to you is called corporality, is that clear?
R. I see today's lesson is something very jumbled.
56. S. (01:56:42) You said that the upper system takes us from the degree of thought into the degree of deeds. What does that mean?
R. The upper mechanism called Creator is all in all a system of forces that designs your connection with the upper light controls and design our relationship and is arranged in such a way that it takes into account previous states and present states, and future states and arranges them in such a way that we will come to a deficiency for the next degree and then realizing the next agree, that's what the upper system of course is doing.
57. S.(01:57:42) You said that you shouldn't devour yourself, so what's the difference between searching for deficiencies for yourself in order to correct, to just devouring or biting yourself up? What's the difference?
R. I look for my flaws, in wanting to bestow to the friends, as if I want to bestow to the friends and I check, I care about where else can I add. Spirituality is all bestowal, we start from there, spirituality is bestowal. So anything that has to do with me, for me is not spiritual and I don't want to be there. Spirituality is completely outside of me, bestowal and not reception. This is how I need to position, arrange myself not to pick into all kinds of thoughts, desires, intentions that are about me, that's not good for me that's not how I advance. The more I am about advancing the world, advancing the group that is for certain will help me in my spiritual ascent. So to begin with its desire that all of your thoughts, plans and intentions about myself I limit them. It will happen on its own. By thinking about the others, if I'm thinking about the others, how to do for them, how to arrange them, how to help them and so on by that I begin to realize myself and in that I resemble the Creator already.
58. S. (02:00:37) How can you settle the contradiction between the formless light in rest towards MAN that activates the Creator?
R. The upper light which is in complete rest wants to awaken us, which means that it is at complete rest. The rest with regards to the upper light means that it’s working nonstop. For the light to bestow to us all the time in infinite ways to advance us to the final correction this is called rest. So why is it rest because it doesn't change its way, its direction, that's why it is at rest. You can even see it in physics, if there is a body that is standing still or there is a body that's moving at the same speed, in the same direction so the same laws apply on both of them.
59. S. (02:01:54) Can you explain the question about a person beating himself up, devouring himself. Because that whole story of praying is a person judging himself, he sees his current state, he is thinking of himself. So what does it mean not to work with it or to limit your thoughts obviously the desired state is to be in a tendency towards bestowing to the others. But what does it mean not to work with your present state where you discover… (Cut off by Rav)
R. You're restricted.
S. What does it mean not to pay attention to it? He was asking where the border is between devouring yourself or using it for praying.
R. It is desired that your prayer would be for the others.
S. What happens when a person discovers every time that is in himself?
R.
restrict
that
as
much
as
possible.
S.
What
does
it
mean?
R. Not to take that into account.
S. Not to take that into account in what way?
R. I don't work on that. That is my ego which awakens all kinds of concerns and questions in me. I don't want to take care of my ego, let it die.
S. But still he recognizes it again and again and just pushes it away so the whole war is against this thing?
R. I don't want to be in that, I don't want to engage in that, by that I already fulfill it, I already feed it.
S. but you are trying to pray for the friends and you discover again that you are deviated and you took the… (Cut off by Rav)
R. So you remove that and keep on going with the friends, a man is where his thoughts are so why do I need to be there, why should I? It's just the Sitra Achra, like he says, this is how the other side grabs hold of us, with all kinds of concerns and so I don't want to be in that. What will happen, what will be if I don't think about that? The moment you stop thinking about it, it will be ok, it doesn't become well by thinking about it and being concerned about it.
S. Will there be a state that all the thoughts are always outside of me? Thoughts and desires?
R. This is spirituality, spirituality is outside me, if I want to care about spirituality, it's not to care about myself.
S. I’m asking if parallel to that do I have any other thought about myself.
R. Desirably no.
Excerpt 16 (02:05:00 - 02:08:12) Twice
60. R. (02:06:18) I think it is nice, to the point, read it again. Let's try and concentrate in what we're hearing.
61. R. (02:07:18) Meaning not for himself or anything. Only on the direction of the Creator. That plea has to be in the direction of the Creator otherwise it won't be MAN, otherwise the Creator won't hear.
Continues reading Excerpt 16
62. R. (02:08:18) Meaning that I have to try and lift myself in my questions as high as I can, but not about myself because if I think about myself, it will always be corporeality and I won't get anything from the Creator for it. The help I can get from the Creator when I ask for myself is just more blows and more blows until I see that I'm doing something wrong.
63. S. (02:09:06) He writes that the Lo Lishma dissolves the taste. How does that happen?
R. That by me being in Lo Lishma I gradually lose tastes in it and that pushes me towards the direction of spirituality.
64. S. (02:09:43) Question from the 10. What is the Masach, screen, in the prayer?
R. The screen, Masach, isn't in the prayer. You can say that you suppose to use the force of rejection in your prayer that you don’t want for yourself but only towards the others, towards the Creator that this is how you build the screen the Masach but the prayer is raising MAN, it's not a Masach. The Masach the screen is the force to resist your will to receive in order to aim what you wanted to receive in your desire to receive, you aim it towards the others, to in order to bestow.
65. S. (02:10:47) We spoke about how on the one hand spirituality is where there is no thought about the self, and I need to make a clear-cut between corporeality and spirituality. So that's where a person is only concerned about himself. On the other hand we say a person needs to do spiritual work 24/7. So how do you connect the corporeality where a person only works for himself to spirituality where there is no self?
R. Try to think about spirituality 24/7 and also corporeality 24/7 and you will see that it's possible for example, the mother and the baby. The mother has a baby at home and she must go out to work, so she works at her job but her heart is always at home with the baby.
S. The condition that this won't be for myself but for the Creator, Can that turn into MAN?
In order for the prayer to turn into MAN, the condition that it's not for myself, does that have to be met? But if to some extent it's not for myself would that be MAN?
R. To the extent that the prayer is not for himself, to that extent it will awaken MAN partially, depending on the conditions, if it's partial or not, if it's a complete prayer or not but still it works, even a bit.
66. S. (02:13:16) Lo Lishma is still for myself, what is Lo Lishma that does awaken the upper one, that makes an influence?
R. It's conditions that we’re in. That the upper one doesn't calculate as much as we’re in order to bestow even though we're in order to receive but we'll still aimed towards His direction so He receives it and works with us, He response to us in such a way to help us advanced more and more until we pass the Machsom, barrier, and we enter into spirituality.
S. Is there a specific component to be added to Lo Lishma that awakens the upper one?
R. Yes, we are in the group and if the group yearns for the upper one supposedly however still in corporeally but because the intention is in some what they want, even if they don't know what it is, but the Creator gives the conditions they still yearn for spirituality the upper light sees this as a state that He gives to them and according to that they respond. It's like children that grow. We all start from the opposite states of spirituality that's why the upper force takes our response into account to our state as much as we are in. That's why don't be despaired, keep going more and more, every little bit accumulates into a big sum.
67. S. (02:15:25) What should we ask for the friends for the sake of the Creator?
R. What do I ask for the Creator, that I am asking for the friends, that the Creator will help them connect together so all of us together will be able to be as one vessel in a plea towards Him in order to awaken Him.
S. He writes that the created being can only be in Lo Lishma, so how can we ask correctly?
R. First of all it can’t be that he writes that the created being can only be in Lo Lishma, because all the degrees we are talking about are the degrees of the created being. So yes for Lo Lishma, No Lishma, the Creator go through all these states.
68. S. (02:16:31) For raising MAN, what kind of intention should we build to get the vessel which contains eternity?
R. We have to be connected in our 10, in our tendency to discover the Creator as a force of bestowal, that's why we want even if we don't really want to, but we want to be between us in the 10 to reveal the mutual force of bestowal, which is called the Creator from the words come and see, that you come and you see. We want such a state to be revealed such a quality that we will be able to feel ourselves together. Together as one unit, as one man in one heart, in one desire towards the Creator, towards spirituality and we will start feeling along with this corporeal life that we are in a different level of existence to a spiritual level that the Creator is between us. He's awakening us. He's filling us and then we by this, we exist, I don't know what else I can say.
Excerpt 17 (02:18:46 - 02:19:43) Twice
Excerpt 18 (02:19:56 - 02:21:12)
69. S. (02:21:20) By the yearning that each lower degree yearns for the upper one and I feel that you are right the whole lesson today there is no participation, nothing it's like we are in….(Cut off by Rav)
R. This is a great lesson, because they want to show you who you really are, don't think you're in spirituality. You're a beast like any other and you have nothing except for just standing in where the donkey stands. Yes that you have seed, food and water except for that you don't want anything of your life that's it.
S. Where is the yearning, I don't feel that there is a yearning?
R. Yearning doesn't come from above, yearning is what you get from below, from you being with your friends. From above they just gave you a spark, like they lit a match now you have to take that match and make a flame from it.
S. We can't really make this fire, I feel like I'm falling asleep here while standing. It's all kind of tasteless.
R. It depends on you. I can give one food and he will say that there isn't any taste, no salt, no pepper, nothing. I can give it to another one and he will say that you can get burnt from this it all depends on the person.
S. How do I put pepper into it like you say, like an ignition, a flame, how do we start the awakening, how do we do that?
R. Man will help his friend.
S. How?
R. Man does not work alone, he is ignited by society. You have to reach a state where you are envious of all the friends and that depends on how much you appreciate them, and see them as great. Look at one, look at the other, look at the third one, you will see how great they are. Look at your state compared to your friend's state. He feels that he is the worst of everybody and that the Creator is disregarding him and everybody else's too and he's devouring himself about it and that's it. That he is not even worthy of anything and you are the opposite. You are saying to me, I'm worthy of everything, of the Malchut not the lower degree Malchut but to be a king. I mean, then what happens, how long should I wait until I come and crown me already?
S. Is it good to feel that way or is it bad to feel like that?
R. You need both, you need to see when you're working with this and when you are working with the bad.
S. It's not bad to feel a little bit of a fall you say?
R. You need to think as much as I can be worse, that I then even discover and as much as I can be the highest of everybody. That I also didn't discover yet and both of these states are before me that's it.
S. This is the work, meaning this is how it needs to be it's not something… (Cut off by Rav)
R. This is how it has to be, in between the two I have to be devoted to the Creator, to in order to bestow that I don't care whether I'm high or low, I don't care at all who I am, I don’t want to think about myself. If there is someone I can think of, I want to think about bestowing to the Creator. What can I do in order to bestow to Him, how can I awaken the whole world in order to bestow to the Creator and I don't even exist.
S. So you are saying, get out of your box and begin to be above reason, is that what you're saying?
R. Yes.
70. S. (02:26:32) Can we ask about the Congress?
R. I don't really know. I understand what's going on but ask. Maybe someone else who belongs to the Congress, they can explain.
S. Yesterday there was a meeting of the global social team with dozens of friends who joined from around the world. We talked about the lessons and I came out with such an impression that on the other hand, we got a direction from you that the direction should be the connection between the 10's, and on the other hand, my impression was that everyone says that they don't know what the connection between the 10's and our whole work needs to be inside the 10 and when we understand what's inside the 10's then we will know what the connection is inside the 10's.
R. I Agree
S. So from here comes the question, how do we actually direct the time we have now before the congress and the time we have before June to really come to a state where we are worthy of this connection between the 10's otherwise through the connection between the 10's, because otherwise we won't be able to realize the goal of the congress.
S. You are right. I don't know what to say because we might be hastening our development and we are not adapting ourselves to this pace. I don't think we are way behind, no, but it takes time until we attain the connections in our 10 and without connecting in the 10, we can't start connecting between tens. On the other hand if we don't start connecting between the 10's, we will be lacking forces to connect in our 10. Because when we start searching for connections between the 10's, we start seeing that also in our 10 we are lacking something. That's what we discovered. I am happy about it. There is an addition of a deficiency to reach connection with in
my 10, each one in every 10. You really want it to happen that every 10 will discovered that there is a lot more to add in the connection inside them and then reach a connection between the 10's or maybe still to reach some kind of a connection between the 10s and from this we do feel that in the 10 we have a lack of an interconnection between the friends and the 10 and there we need to strengthen ourselves and on this way we will work on this and on that. Otherwise, to constantly talk about the 10's, I think it loses its flavors. It loses its deficiency and forces something that obligates us. That's why our connection between the 10's in the Congress that will be at the beginning of June, it's worthwhile. Then again, it will be aimed more in discovering a deficiency in each and every 10. That's how it happens. Again, I am looking at our lives. You bring children to play in the yard, in the park and I see the moment they begin to incorporate in the others they run back to the mother. They're run back to the family because they discover all kinds of phenomena that they're not used to and they run back to the mother to be next to her and when they're next to the mother so they look at the external connections of the older children playing but themselves they're afraid to approach it. You see that's how it is, it's mutual. You have to show them the form of behavior that is more external and more mature so that they'll understand that they need to grow more next to their parents. This way, they too, us too, that what we attain in society, in the 10, we have to attain more. When will we attain it, when we understand that we can't because the last generation we have to reach big 10’s? Meaning that are put together from a lot of 10's and that is something we can't from the lack of the correct connection in each and every 10, our private initial one. So that's why I think that we need to reach the congress that we are all connected in one 10 in order to discover that we need to be connected correctly to our private 10's.
S. And this is the goal of the congress?
R. Yes, this is the purpose of the Congress. I was thinking about it but maybe I didn't emphasize it enough.
S. How do you see from now until the congress, the expression of the work between the 10’s within the 10s until we complete our work in the 10's?
R. That we will maybe start to talk about within a week. Now you'll start talking about it and scrutinize it and then you tell me about it.
S. Another practical question is that there was a suggestion that we will have a global YH with our global media friends. How should it look like every Sunday with the whole world coming together for 45 minutes, what should be new here, in light of what you said towards the congress?
R. I don't know, what do you think? I know all this? You need to know all this. It's not my work
S. We have an idea. Is it okay to ask you about it?
R. What?
S. Instead of speakers speaking from the 10, we want to awaken envy between the 10's, so this means that in each gathering of friends now, each 10 will get 2 minutes to speak before the entire world Kli. The goal is that you inspire, to awaken envy. They will talk about their work, like if we talk about working with the sources, and so awaken envy and like Rabash writes, we will first talk about the society and then we bring up suggestions for connection and then we end with praise. Is that such a structure in the right direction?
R. Do. The main thing is to do. Then from doing, there is no wiser as the experienced. Then you will start to understand if it is right to do this. Then we can talk about it and you will hear what I'm saying. I don't like to give advice if it's not written clearly within our sources. I don't like to do it. It's not good. Then you supposedly need to receive from me that I'm talking about the Torah from Sinai. It’s better that I hear what you think, what you discuss. Then, if you have a doubt then according to that, we can scrutinize it. You need to be a bit more independent.
