Excerpts from the sources:  "I Dwell Among My Own People", #6

1. Rav’s Introduction:

What are we trying to emphasize here? King David which was against Malchut which was the Kli that was going to come closer to correction, the foundation of all the correction. In the beginning of Psalms which was his prayer to the Creator, “blessed is the man who has yet to sit amongst wicked and only among the righteous he finds himself” and so on. Meaning he emphasized immediately, that is for each and every person which is the environment, blessed is a person who has a good environment where he can sit in it, be in it, nullify towards it and come closer that way towards the goal. Why? Because specifically it's not the wisdom that he seeks. He seeks closeness to the Creator where all of the clothes, the truth and the internality, quality and perfection and order and corrections exist he’s coming closer to the Creator and coming closer to the center of all the forces of nature to the main and only force that operates in the world there's none else besides Him. That is in the center of the ten we should say. Relative to us where there's no other possibility to find where we have a safer place we can hide from our troubles and connect to the good forces. 

Hence, when we talk about the society, about the big things, what we mean is the ten. That is to the group that is going or is trying to go according to the spiritual laws and from day-to-day it updates itself more and more to be aimed correctly towards the goal, not each and everyone on his own. Rather together they care to start with just like Rabash tells us in his social writings no one thinks that he can disconnect from the society and correct himself for the goal for if he wants to correct himself or to myself towards the goal it is towards the center of the ten. Meaning together with everyone as much as possible with everyone as he is truly making a calculation upon himself by this you could disconnect and cause damage to himself. Therefore if we're talking about the society where a person needs to be under the influence of the society and to do everything in order to be under the influence of the environment, the intention is to our groups, to our tens, because that is where we reveal the force of the Creator. It's not that we want to find ourselves in a seat of scornful. Blessed is the person who has not followed the path of the wicked and did not sit in the seat of the scornful. That's where King David begins Psalms that from that a person starts to guide himself, to blame himself towards corrections and towards the path of the Creator. 

Therefore, accordingly, a person is obligated to distance himself from bad society and we have many such societies, groups, bad ones, that we can enter amongst them, under them and lose ourselves there, receive from them different directions and we can see what's going on with humanity as a result of this. Therefore, this is where we need to choose for ourselves that environment that will influence us and under its control we can advance. It's not important to me whether I understand it so much or don't. If I want to advance towards the purpose of creation I must, must with force subdue myself under the suitable society, that society which has a goal to reveal the Creator within it to come closer to the Creator to advance towards the Creator is considered to bring the Creator closer each time to the group so that he will truly be in its center. Of course, here I need to also go in faith above reason where I will receive just as Baal HaSulam tells us and Rabash tells us but if I enter societies and I must subjugate myself towards that society as from this moment onwards it will obligate me to guide me towards the way it understands in the direction it understands and the pace that it understands and I am just more and more bowing my head and following what they guide me towards and everything I have. I do not critique them and if I do critique them it's only to know how much my personal tendency or meaning my egoistic one is opposite different that of the collective of the society. Hence to take after the collective is a spiritual law because that is exactly where I can be certain that I could be advancing correctly in my life. 

As much as I will be smart on my own or wise on my own, in the spiritual path I need to understand that the society that advances all together towards the Creator will always succeed. Relative to me the so-called wise man will see what arrives from all of this. It's not the wise that advances it's not the wise that sees what is begotten from all of this, none of that only the society. Because the Creator is in this society in the connection between the friends that want to connect even more and more and to find him, connect him between them and that's their main essence. Hence, the fact that the Creator created the evil inclination, the ego that each and every one has individually, the moment we start to incorporate into society together, by that we rise above the evil inclination and invert it to become the good inclination, to the group inclination. That's where he is. The good inclination that desire to bestow is received through the center of the ten. Meaning just like Rabash says in his articles, about the society that my nullification towards the group is the main action I need to do in order to advance. To replace the evil inclination for the good inclination it only depends under which reign I'm under whether it's my individual egoistic reign or the society. No matter what it doesn't matter how it seems to me it's control it is always better, if I'm under its control as much as it seems to me that the control is not so high up and pure maybe, I receive it above reason. I close down my criticism of it and let the society control me, that's what Baal HaSulam writes and Rabash writes. 

Well, therefore we need to understand if we want to be wise, we can be alone. A wise man is higher up than the society but if I want not to be wise in my intellect but rather I want to be a Kabbalist to reveal the Creator that I need to yearn to be under the society and in it specifically I will find my connection with the Creator because according to the structure that we learn from Adam HaRishon we need to always remember about the structure and from it we need to understand what's going on here. If I want to integrate in Adam HaRishon I need to be an Adam, so I must incorporate in that system in that mechanism of the society, of the group, of the ten and that for me needs to be more important than being alone. The fact that I will only see the gap and the clash between the individual and the collective, always it is taking after the collective meaning the taking should always be after the collective, to take after the collective. That should be a certainty for us, it should be a law for us and the correct guidance for us along the way. We will read some of this and talk about this more.

2. S. (12:23) You said that I bow my head to the ten?

R. If you want to receive spiritual discernments not corporeal ones. If in corporeality, if I want to be a scientist, that I need to seek out a good scientist, some pinnacle, some apex somewhere and from him I learn and I get wisdom but we're not learning wisdom. We're learning the wisdom of connection which is what we need in order to correct the shattered vessel. 

S. Yes yes, but to attain spirituality you said I bow my head to the group and I draw the Creator there. What does that mean?

R. That you consider connection with the friends more than anything else because specifically in connection with friends you reveal the Creator. Which is the purpose of creation to reveal Him, to reveal the quality of bestowal, love, connection.

S. Meaning bowing my head towards the friends in the lesson, trying to integrate with them, that attracts the Creator?

R. Yes, of course and what's the Creator, there's no Creator. By locating the shattered pieces, by that, you're locating him.

S. What do I concretely restrict inside of me and how do I annul towards the friends in the lesson?

R. The natural tendency that you have towards friends, the fact that you would prefer to be alone, you would prefer your intellect, your emotions and feelings relative to the group, once all those things, you need to sort out and see what's more important. In order to correct ourselves, we need to constantly respond and take the collective over the individual, again, since you want to correct the shattered Kli. Don't forget that and it will be clear to you what you're doing. We need just one thing to correct the shattered vessel, to collect all the shattered pieces and to arrange from them one vessel. That is the goal. Nothing else. Don't take some part of the shattered vessel and start discussing it and engaging it. That's not worth anything. The main thing is to connect the broken pieces. In the connection between the broken pieces that force between them you'll reveal the Creator there.

3. S. (15:37) Degree by degree in the connection with the ten, the criticism increases. Sometimes it becomes stronger than the connection itself. How can we use the negative plus negative force to connect further?

R. This negative force, this rejection is no more than what you need in order to overcome it. It is revealed so that you will overcome it and invert it to the force of connection between. That's how it's constructed. Don't look at it as a force that disturbs and rejects and evokes pride and hatred, honor all kinds of things that distance between friends but rather to see in this the assisting force of the Creator, the posterior of the Creator and if you invert that, you will find him.

4. S. (16:50) How could the force of connection among the ten, could impact on the whole of humanity?

R. When we work on the connection between us we bring the Creator closer to the ten even one ten. Moreover when we have many tens, by this we are bringing to the whole human society, the forces of connection and it influences everyone. We will reveal soon that the world will talk like us. All of the sudden it will change its direction, the process, the understanding, the way they speak, everything it will be closer to us. We just need to work on ourselves and a little bit here and there if it's possible, spread out about the program of creation, the goal of it, why these problems come to us and we will see that soon they'll start talking like us as well.

5. S. (18:13) To take after the collective in the ten is clear. What about the ten with respect to the whole Kli, taking after the collective?

R. No no no, we're not talking about the collective being the big human society. There's no collective there, there's no goal there, there's no connection there and therefore we don't take that into consideration.

S. I'm talking about our vessel Bnei Baruch.

R. We will soon learn how we talked about our general Kli as well for the time being, we need to connect in the tens only. You don't yet want you're not interested yet and being connected in the tens. All the connection between you is just in words and just in deeds, not in the hearts. You're not raising enough prayers to the Creator for him to correct our hearts to be in one heart therefore we are still without the revelation of the Creator inside the ten, each and everyone inside himself. When we will have that we will turn also to the connection between the tens. For the time being we just need to know that there are many tens around us that are also working in such a way up on the connection between them and we are helping one another but not in a guided specific directed manner.

6. S. (20:00) Considering what we said yesterday and now, can we take into account what's happening to us personally and collectively the whole of humanity with regards to what we need to in order to start seeing the correction on the outside as well?

R. We don't need to think about the correction outside. We just need to think about the connection between us within the ten. For the time being that is our issue and we shouldn't be spreading ourselves to all kinds of other goals. If you don't reach a connection between you and the ten then nothing is worth anything. You're just going to distance yourself even more from connecting if you start to now engage in connection in the whole world vessel or all together in the whole world.

7. S. (21:15) The lesson started from Psalms, do not dwell in the settlement of the wicked and so on. Is this Psalm speaking about our work from the beginning of the day that we are in some intention and then we continue the day into the tens meeting and continue our work?

R. Yes that's right, that's how we need to aim ourselves. That's why King David starts the book of Psalms, the book of his prayers, his addresses to the Creator in such a way specifically which is the main thing.

Psalm #1    

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scorners. But his delight is in the Torah of the Lord; and in His Torah he meditates day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by streams of water, that yields its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not wither; and in whatever he does he shall prosper. Not so the wicked: but they are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgement, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the wicked shall perish.

8. R. (23:40) It explains short and to-the-point how a person needs to aim himself to start with. Okay, we will approach our verses.

Excerpt #6 Baal HaSulam “The Freedom” (23:51 - 26:13)

9. R. Meaning it's as if we're leaning towards the society, towards the big society, to the fact that people will be connected where they will understand that in the connection between them there are greater forces but that's only on the condition that they want to be connected between them that their direction will be after the upper force. If the direction of all the other forces, the forces of connection are done, they cause destruction to the society. It's like the revolution that occurred in Russia a hundred years ago. Why did they not succeed? Why are they still under this curse until this day and cannot come out of it? They spoiled the whole nation due to this because the connection they had was not guided towards the upper force, towards finding a force that would rule over them and not for them to find forces on their own of how they are going to rule everyone else. Therefore that's what happens. If the goal is to reveal the Creator the general force of nature and not that we define what kind of goal there should be in the development of humanity but rather receive it from nature that how it comes between us in an equal way by which we can only that way reveal the Creator then the connection between us will be successful. This is why also now with all of humanity we are in a dead-end and don't know if all together we can be saved from the end of human development. The problem is that we can succeed only if we will be more important than me. Not in such a way to bring like they did it in Russia but rather that I bring the connection I have with the only upper force of nature which is the Creator.

10. S. (29:08) How to switch from words to connection in the hearts?

R. How to move from words to connection with our hearts? That can be done only by drills, exercises we do between us according to what Rabash dictates to us. Baal HaSulam writes it higher up, but Rabash writes in his articles truly stage-by-stage what we need to do in order to bring forth connection between us and what way we need to try to connect and with that discover the extent to which we can't connect and then we add to our efforts also prayer and together between the efforts and the prayer, the yield us to the goal, to the connection to the Creator and what he connects between us. We cannot connect between us if we're not connected to a certain extent by the Creator because he has the glue that connects between us and that's why we need to yearn for both this and that. The reason why the Creator is called the middle line where it connects the two sides between many people, it doesn't matter but only in such a way that will come to the success in our connection.

S. What does it mean that we become as a Kli

R. We become a Kli when we discover the perfection. The Creator is a concept of perfection of wholeness because he includes all the forces, all the contradictory qualities that we discover in nature. Therefore, if we connect correctly all the tendencies, all the forces that are revealed in us that's called that we reach perfection. A completion, a complement of all of the contradictory forces.

S. But this initial connection we need to reach, that means we're already a vessel?

R. Certainly it's a vessel and the vessel depends on what kind of a vessel it is. A child that is born is also a vessel but does he understand who he is what he is? Nothing, how many years does it take for him to come to a state where he stands and says something, demands something, requests, asks, it takes time. That's why a vessel is Ibur, Yenicka, Mochin, these are all different forms of the vessel. Like 13 years until he becomes independent and more.

S. I just heard you say that we're not yet interested in connecting in the tens.

R. We are still just according to the words from ours but we read from the books that we can seemingly be connected in are tens but in practice we are still not capable of demanding from the Creator to cancel the partitions, the boundaries between us.

S. What causes that transition from talking about it to really doing …?

R. The individual and collective demand from everyone from the depths of our heart. We need more and more to understand that that is what our success depends upon and that we have yet to all of us come to this and that it all depends on our prayer, on our connection and that we need to see how much our heart is broken, it's not ready for connection and then from the recognition of evil we will come to the good.

11. S. (33:34) Demand is a result, know the demand of the heart, it's a result it's not the action?

R. But it's an action that comes as a result of all kinds of actions that we do, mostly unsuccessful actions where we come to a state where as much as we have done, we didn't succeed in connection. We don't check ourselves to that extent of whether we reached or not, connection, it doesn't burn in us that much. It burns for us attainment, feeling, all kinds of things but the connection itself no. Clear?

12. S. (34:20) Just to confirm what you were saying, I didn't quite .... coming from a country that socialists and had this history I don't want to name the country but just say the same words now that we're using and I heard this yesterday to another country, we and together and you see how they do things and it's just mind-boggling I really didn't understand even what you say?

R. Then you'll have to hear the lesson again, both me and Rabash and Baal HaSulam all came from a socialistic country and every single one of us stumbled on this revolution out there and what happened there as a result. Therefore, they can see things and where the society leads us to not make a mistake and you in America are once again before that mistake. Do you want to do a socialistic revolutionary that Russia did a hundred years ago and therefore it's worthwhile for you to nevertheless understand what this speaks about. It's not talking about that has happened in a different society and not in another society. It's talking about a tendency that exists in humanity and it's not that it was in Russia or for Americans that it won't happen for them. It's not a matter of nationality, it's a matter of a tendency of people that they consider well just like the Democrats where you are to appreciate or put how to put on a pedestal, the society and the collective and that will give a good future. Other than the destruction it won't lead to anything else. If it will be that way, you're going in the same direction that Russia went a hundred years ago. That's what we'll be. That's why it's worthwhile to hear and not to say that they had it and we don't want it. It's worthwhile for you to hear specifically because otherwise you will err in a great way and a terrible way.

13. S. (36:56) How to differentiate between the will to receive and the hearts’ demand?

R. I don't know. I don't think you need to differentiate between this and that and do all kinds of scrutiny here and the differences etcetera. I do a simple thing. Am I with the desire of the ten? Am I equating myself with the center of the ten where I depict to myself what is the center of the ten all together what do the friends want and what way and what manner and with what forces what power do they want to be connected? What Creator do they want to reveal what is the Creator called, where it is written, “you made Me. That is something that I need to depict to myself and whether I am in this and to the extent that I can as much as possible, to be with them in that. That's the problem that I need to resolve for myself each time and establish with myself more each time with the group correctly.

Excerpt #7 The Freedom (38:17 - 38:35) 

14. R. That's in order to connect the vessel of Adam HaRishon it's all for that the correction and the connection of all the souls together to the system of Adam.

Reader continues (38:47 - 40:28)

15. R. That if we above our intellect, above our reason and will adapt ourselves to this unified society we will not err, we will always be in the correct way in our development with nature, with the general harmony of nature and not reach any mistake on the steps that we take along the path. Meaning the law of leaning after the collective is something that we receive above reason where we simply go according to that which the general system defines for us and this general system, of course, is different than any individual. So if I prefer the general system and not the individual that's considered that I'm going in faith in the force of bestowal above the force of reception above my opinion, my reason and that's how I advance.

16. S. (41:35) Were the revolutions that happened in France and Russia a waste of time or it's just the development of nature?

R. No first of all what is a waste of time? We never waste time. These revolutions specifically and all kinds of such events that occurred specifically humanity were actually the most beneficial for the correct development of human society. Therefore, we really need to respect them because humanity learned a lot from them and also until this day when we feel also in France, the social structure their attitude towards nature, towards freedom and everything that France has brought to the world, this is an immense matter that all the philosophy, the whole matter of freedom the attitude towards society, to the individual, to the collective all comes to us from the French Revolution. From Russia we get the revolution not in the direction like in France and the individual private way but rather in the direction of the social direction and we saw that both in this and that, humanity could not withstand it and eventually feels itself that it's bankrupt today from all those tendencies, from all those philosophies and today we remain in such a way that we must somehow define the future form of humanity and we don't know how. I'm talking on behalf of humanity. 

Today, there are so many wise people and philosophies and institutes to study things and this and that but none of those opinions can possibly say that they know how to arrange human society. This will lead us to a state where we will all put our hands up and from the emptiness that we are in we will see that the wisdom of Kabbalah is talking to the point and that will be. It's above human intellect but specifically when we receive this reason like he tells us here of leaning towards the collective, that will be successful because the individual and the collective do not equate according to their intellect. The collective has a different brain and the individual has a different brain. According to the individual it's faith within reason and according to the collective it's faith above reason. The collective is the carrier of spirituality of Godliness and the individual carries within him only the current science that is revealed for the time being.

17. S. (45:23) We always studied the importance of studying together in the principle of either unity or death. How does it coincide with the virtual connection of today?

R. I don't understand the question, what do you mean to unity or death. Of course, yes we need to study together we need to reach a state where we learn together in order to connect we don't need anything else we don't need to know anything. All we need is one thing. We learned we do all sorts of actions to be connected together and from our, from the connection of all of the opposite things and yet we are striving for connection, there we will discover that these two forces, the opposites and the forces of connection and between these two we discover the Creator.

S. My question is concentrated more on the fact that we're distant from everyone we're not as close like in the virtual, we are more distant.

R. I don't understand what you mean virtual, that we're sitting at home?

S. Yes, we're not sitting together, it's easier to love someone when you're sitting together?

R. That's what you're talking about don't worry that this will not prevent you from true connection that you're sitting in Be'er Sheva and someone else is sitting in Haifa. It's not a problem, that's what you're thinking about, that's nothing. We will sit wherever we are on the planet and be far from each other and it's not going to hinder the connection in our hearts. Do you still think that if you sit closer to a person and even touch him with your shoulder then that makes you close to him?

S. Isn't there always the importance of friendship of being next to each other and being in the center and we don't have that.

R. That is something we used to do in past forms to help people come together and see other people but today there's no importance to it whatsoever. You also see that our world is starting to show itself as a virtual world more and more. We live today in a world that is much less physical and more virtual. We see each other through screens, we speak to each other through text messages or other communication channels and that's it. We're no longer like we used to be a few years ago.

S. Is that the new degree that we have entered now according to these rules or....?

R. Yes, so we will see how the connection in the heart is what's important and not the physical connection, that you see me next to you. We don't take the physical world into account. We take it, relate to it much less than before and we increasingly rise above it through the virtual form. Think about this. I wasn't thinking I'm going to hear these things coming from you. It's really away from our point.

18. S. (49:18) What do we as a minority need to do in order for our voice to be heard and be taken into account for the whole world?

R. We need to be better connected between us and the world will feel there is a part in it that carries the spiritual potential, the spiritual charge. It's not so much dependent on our physical dissemination through the communication channels, that depends on how connected we are making ourselves a center of the spiritual force, so that within the corporeal world there is also a spiritual center. If we connect that way humanity will feel it.

19. S. (50:30) If the collective force, the defining one decides how is it that the force that we create and all the world Kli of Bnei Baruch cannot withstand the reality today and what's happening in the world?

R. We will not be able to face the corporeal reality, it's not a matter of fighting and then the whole world will stand on the sidelines and wait. No, we're talking about a completely different war here. Our war is about how we connect to become the spiritual center of the world and then from connecting, the world will feel that it has a spiritual center and then it will come to connect with us. There's no battle here between us and the world, there's only a battle between us and ourselves. Understood? Good.

20. S. (52:04) About the war with ourselves, from the beginning of the lesson I'm really trying to subjugate myself before the friends to feel their hearts, to incorporate them and each time you just start to incorporate your immediately thrown outwards in return I can't manage to understand, maybe I'm missing the requested the Creator some permanent effort, what does the creative want what's this effort?

R. The Creator wants only one thing that you will connect to the point that the force of unity which is Him can appear among you. that you will connect yourself to some unity. There's nothing artificial here when you come together you compose the Creator, that unifying force of Nature and when you don't, it doesn't happen. It's just like physics the forces of nature will force you to connect either in a good way or in a bad way through a path of suffering or in a better way in that you have free choice.

S. There's some kind of conversation on his behalf as I understand, he's giving you the possibility to feel the connection with the friends and then?

R. That's how nature behaves with us. Understand, God is equal to nature in Gematria in the numerical value. There are no feelings or thoughts in it like that. It's a system. It's a machine and we exist in it and we have a mind and heart which we need to use. These two devices the mind and heart to unite. Until we find the unity of nature. All we need ultimately is the revelation of the unity of creation.

21. S. (54:29) It's written that you need to take after the collective but you can see that the collective according to its actions is not guided towards connection. Can we say that the collective sees itself in its thoughts as connected? We need to show this path?

R. We are not talking about the big society, the general society of humanity, which is a herd that has no head, no leader. We are talking about the group. If the group wants to connect, it discovers that it has a head that has a center, that's what we're talking about. I'm not talking about now going to integrate with the whole of humanity. There's nothing for me to integrate with, there's nothing for me to nullify myself before there's no such thing. That we are only talking about the tens that everyone in their ten, see there's society there. Human society when you look at them do you see anyone to connect with there? Do you see any minds, heart that is in the right direction that you can flow with towards correction? Of course not. A hundred percent it won't happen. That's why we're not talking about that, we are talking about society being a person who is working with the ten. That needs to be clear to you. That's what they're talking about. Within my people do I dwell means within the group, the ten. Great is the man who sits in the right society meaning in the ten, not in the seat of the scornful which could be the whole of humanity. It doesn't matter how great, how big or small is that amount of people. We are talking about the unity that exists in the collection of individuals. Just shift your head a little bit. Why are you looking at things like the whole of humanity looks like them?

22. S. (57:33) Several times you said that we have to come to a demand from the depth of our heart for connection. How can we all look at our heart to want that?

R. Only through the influence of the friends through envy, lust and honor most importantly envy. We talked about it two lessons ago. How effective is envy press to advance. All right?

23. S. (58:11) It's a little bit confusing. Baal HaSulaam writes it's about the law of Torah and the law of Nature, it also about the law of Providence, what is the difference between the law of Torah, the law of Nature and the law of Providence?

R. It's all one law. One law. I don't understand why you're dividing it so much. You understand that after the vessel of Adam HaRishon was shattered the system was shattered then and all of reality which is still, vegetative animate and human you have nothing complete. Afterwards, when these pieces completed their shattering they started gathering and gathering to the point that people in our world through pressure from above started discovering the laws of nature. To the point they discovered the Creator and that's what they're talking about. What they're telling us about, that they found that they can discover the upper Force, his desire his laws by reconnecting. Then by coming from the shattering back to connection you discover the upper force between them that's why the Creator is hidden because they're broken then to the extent that they connect He appears in their connection. That's the whole issue of the wisdom of Kabbalah. That's what they're telling us about and it doesn't matter to me how many thousand different times, thousand different divisions you make here. We need to bring that shattering to connection, to correction that's it. That's what we learned. So we've gathered here like Rabash writes, like Baal HaSulam writes, like the Zohar writes, as the Creator brings people to unity and puts a person's hand on the good faith and if we go with that if we discovered the laws of connection and if we don't then it doesn't do anything. We just keep rolling with our will to receive that grows from generation to generation until we find there's no choice and we'll just have to hear what nature the Creator is telling us.

24. S. (01:01:39) First of all you talked about the thing that we came to this virtual world, for us the virtual world symbolizes the first degree of spirituality. What does it symbolize for humanity as it in a transition from a beast to what?

R. Humanity will start rising to spiritual degrees by beginning to support us like Baal HaSulam writes it right at the end of the Introduction to the Book of Zohar. It's it is written here like in the Isaiah's prophecy that the nations of the world meaning those who don't have a tendency towards Godliness, they will hold on to those called Israel meaning those who are Yashar Kel, straight to the Creator that they will hold on to all of us and they'll say we don't have a choice we either we get lost in a world of troubles or we follow you and this way they come with us to the revelation of Godliness and then we absorb their deficiencies and raise their deficiencies to the Creator. We received from the Creator the forces to give to them and then they can rise as well so we become the passageway the conduit from the Creator to them to what is called the nations of the world. To all those people who don't have an inclination to discover the Creator as all of us here have.

25. S. (01:04:01) Tell us please what is the collective in the ten?

R. If there is a connection in the ten and a consensus and agreement on the path, on all the things they're doing this is called the center of the ten. We each time have to grow it, strengthen it and expand it, the center of the ten that is.

26. S. (01:04:46) How can we rise above the ego between us in establishing the connection so that we can rise to a higher state?

R. Only by discussing it amongst you that you have to rise above everyone's individual ego, that the connection between you will be more important than the separation in each and every one and then you ask of the Creator, it's not enough that you think this way, it needs to actually happen that way. So you're asking the Creator to use his power to bring you to connection above your individual resistances. You arrange this demand from him and you all demand together during the day wherever you are each one you repeat that and you demand from the Creator and then you'll see how you advance.

27. S. (01:06:07) Why despite the law of connection of the society the first and second temple were destroyed?

R. It has to happen, this is on the way from above downwards. The ruin of the first and second temple must happen, they have to shatter as all of these processes until today until our time until we enter the last generation. All of the things we've been through throughout history until our time right now here and now, all those things had to happen. This has to do with the shattering, with the descent, with the breaking apart of all of the pieces of Adam HaRishon, all the vessels. Now from as we enter the connection between us, we are using all of the preparations that were made during the descent, during the fall and what Kabbalists have discovered and corrections that they made throughout the generations to pave the way for us. We are the first generation of the last generation, are actually making the true corrections for the first time in history, connecting ourselves, connecting everyone together and therefore we are not similar to everything that happened before. Look at how many groups there are today, how many people, so different, so opposite, not knowing each other, not familiar with each other we don't belong to a single nationality or psychology or mentality. Everything is completely mixed and different. This is exactly the shattered vessel of Adam HaRishon that begins to be revealed and for the first time we are making this action for the first time, we are starting to know where we are and what we actually need and so on. We have been awarded with being the first line of the corrections of the correctors, those who return to spirituality.

28. S. (01:08:59) How can you always put the Creator into the connection, the renewed connection between us to this unity and not to fall where science always fell?

R. The Creator is not present unless we connect. The level of connection between us is called the Creator. No connection between us, no Creator. There's no Creator without a created being. What does it mean without a created being? That means the connection of the broken pieces, the contrasting pieces. If these pieces can connect between them through faith above reason then there's no Creator. That's why it says you have made me. 

Excerpt 8 Reader (01:10:09 - 01:12:04)

29. R. We have to understand how can we determine our opinion over others, it is only when we go with faith above reason, meaning the force of connection between us practically is that the connection between us is more important than each and everyone's opinion. On the condition that we want to achieve the revelation of the force of connection in practice which is the Creator.

30 S. (01:12:56) How to do the correct work in the ten without falling to the rule of the herd?

R. The law of the herd means that there is a herdsman and the others follow him without understanding without rising, without faith above reason rather just accepting what the herdsman says without any criticism without any individual opinion. That is herd mentality, however human society needs to follow a leader, there is no society without a leader as Baal HaSulam writes. But on the condition that the society examines the leader and inspects the leader and goes above reason. Meaning accepting the principles of the leader on the condition that they are principles that take them to the level of the Creator. The society has no way to rise through degrees of spiritual development if they don't make an effort to connect between them and if they're connection is not to rise to faith above reason, we will talk about it, it's not that simple. Today we are beginning to dig into the social spiritual aspects, it's really not simple and typically confuses the students because they begin to tie it to what they know from history, geography, revolutions that took place in Russia, France and other occurrences in the world. We still have to put a lot of things in order in our minds.

31. S. (01:15:13) What is this, why does Baal HaSulam say that there is no justification for stealing and robbing from the freedom of their collective of the individuals?

R. What do you mean how do you not understand this?

S. There are laws in the country you follow the law.

R. I don't want to hear about the country and its laws, forget about all of that, I am not interfering with that at all I am not in the government. We are talking about humanity and how it needs to be arranged in order to reach the purpose of creation, that nature sets from above and that I have to reach from below.

S. Why does he say there's no justification to the collective...

R. It is that the many need to give the individual all of the opportunities to align himself to reach the feeling and understanding of the purpose of creation in both a personal and a collective way from the individual.

S. Why do you tell us each time that you don't want to connect?

R. I repeat it because it is clear to me and if it's not clear to you then check carefully that you don't want to connect because the force of your ego is still burning on fire in each and everyone of you and it will be until the final correction, but you are unaware of it. Still probably to work with it correctly which means keeping the power of the ego and above it installing the force of connection.

S. Every time I hear you say that I come out frustrated.

R. The fact that you don't like it that I understand but there is no choice you have to be comprised of two forces, separation force and connection force and between these two forces when you start arranging ourselves, between them, you will understand that this is the correct way that the Creator created it. That you have a choice to be opposite to the Creator or similar to The Creator and by that you come to Eternity and wholeness.

S. So I am supposed to be frustrated, this is what you aim for?

R. On the one hand to be frustrated that you can't connect with your own personal strengths and on the other hand be very happy and delighted that you have someone to turn to. That the Creator will connect us.

S. So what is the exertion you're talking about?

R. It is exactly that that we are discovering we are with zero hope to connect between us correctly and how happy we are that we have the upper force, our father that we turn to to fix it for us.

S. That is all the work?

R. That is all the work, write it down so tomorrow you don't forget it.

S. I wrote it down a million times.

R. That's because you don't repeat it.

32. S. (01:18:49) If in the ten the majority rule is kind of standing out what is more correct to jump and join the collective, the majority’s rule or express my opinion and then join?

R. If you are certain that you have the reason of the many, of the majority and you can integrate with them then why waste time on philosophizing in your own justice, your own righteousness? Clearly you can follow that even though you might be right according to the view of the individual, but there is a commandment to integrate with the view of the many of the others and to follow them even though it goes against your personal mind and heart. Because your personal reason is of a cell, one cell in a system and how to maintain yourself. Your collective mind and heart that belongs to the whole system and these are two different systems all together. So you have no choice, you have to integrate with the collective and follow them together.

S. Should I incorporate immediately or I should try to think that I'm right and try to convince or should I join right off the bat?

R. To join of course but why waste time that you are maybe right or not, you have the collective, shut your eyes and jump into the vortex.

S. How do I need to be cautious that I'm not operating out of selfishness or a comfort?

R. You can raise a thousand such questions every minute there is no answer to that, you just need to do it. Why? Because we all come from the system of Adam HaRishon and it starts as whole and then it is broken and then we go back to the system of Adam HaRishon being whole. If so you need to take into account the whole system if you don't want to be mistaken. If what you think of in your mind from all kinds of angles, it will always be your personal mind and not taking into account the whole system and you will definitely go wrong 

33. S. (01:22:05) The opinion of the collective in the ten is that the core of the five people who come every day to the morning lesson?

R. Yes.
