Morning Lesson April 20, 2021 Transcription
1. Rav’s Introduction: The topic is still Amalek, the war with Amalek. You shall blot out the memory of Amalek, meaning that in all of reality we don't have anything that prevents us from feeling our true state, our whole eternal life, the revelation of the Creator, connection with the Creator, connection with the force of one, unique and unified, None Else Besides Him, the one force operating in reality. Against that, there is one disturbance called Amalek and that disturbance, we have to simply remove it, and it stands firmly so that by canceling it we will achieve the right desire to reveal the Creator.
To the extent that we are facing Amalek, that we are against Amalek, that we are hateful of Amalek, that we are in different aspects of trying to cancel it, the intention to receive that is, to that extent, when we cancel it then we feel the greatness of the Creator and the ability to make contact with Him, to adhere to Him. Amalek is the only disturbance of our intentions that are all for self-benefit in every shape and form. And here we have to always make certain calculations and exercises and help each other as much as we can so as to rise above it and be against it. As it is said, the war of the Creator with Amalek in every generation, meaning why is it the war “of the Creator”? Because we only have to identify the Amalek that prevents us from being like the Creator, from clinging to the Creator and to ask Him to crush it. All the rest is done by the Creator. There is no problem for the Creator to do that.
The only problem is that we need with our strength and our consciousness, with our desire, we have to want to get rid of Amalek, to win against it and to blot it out so that there is even no memory of it. There is not even the slightest appearance of it. We have to reach a state where there is no disturbance, nothing that stands between us and the Creator in any shape or form. This is our work here, to meticulously clarify the relationship between us. It's actually only the Creator standing between us, but we have to detect that which prevents and what disturbs our connection. What is that desire, intention discernment, character, it doesn't matter which way we see it, but what is it that belongs to Amalek. This is how we will advance, we have to see this as the primary part of our work, all the other things are included in blotting out Amalek and this is how we have to advance.
We must become worthy and unified so that we can detect it and eradicate it. By working against it, we receive the strength to work against it, and that is the force which we connect to the Creator. Amalek was created not for no reason it is said, “I have created the evil inclination and the spice of Torah” meaning the light that reforms. The light that reforms the evil inclination, that’s what we need. We try to reach a state where we feel what is preventing us. The more we feel that this disturbance is against us, then we don't identify with this disturbance, and we would rather be standing against it. Even when I artificially look at how the friends succeed in doing that, this is how I advance towards eradicating Amalek. In all of my attitudes from negative to positive towards my ego and my will to receive, I leave an empty space instead and that space is filled with the Creator. The Creator appears specifically in those places, that is those desires where I erase in order to receive and clear that space and the Creator turns that space, in order to bestow then instead of this world I discover the next world.
2. S. (07:37) What does it mean to blot out Amalek?
R. To blot it out means that if we have a certain doubt about how I should work with the intention to receive, it is clear that I need to get rid of it completely so there is no partition between me and the Creator which is what Amalek reveals to us, my intention to receive that stands there, standing in the way. And I have to remove it to the point there is no remainder of it. I have to achieve complete correction.
S. Everything in me is the intention to receive so what does it mean to blot out?
R. Ask for it, as you gradually discover that your intentions are in order to receive and you start feeling this is not to your benefit. Accordingly, you ask that these intentions will go away and they will be replaced with something else. It's not that you do it, as it is all done by the upper light. But for the upper light to do this you have to conduct it, you have to manage the light to do this, by your desire, by your intention, by your request, your prayer. There has to be an instruction on your part and then the upper light does it.
S. You said and I even wrote it down that I have to take out the intention and leave an empty place and there the Creator is revealed, what are these empty places?
R. Place means desire, so this desire is filled with an intention to bestow.
S. I can't understand. I have desire and intention to receive, how does it happen that an empty space remains?
R. What is left, there is a desire without an intention to receive, this is called an empty space. Space means desire. Empty means that there is no intention, there is no vector which means that when this desire is aimed in order to receive then it disappears. Why does it disappear? Because when you discover that in order to receive is not good. First it is not good for you and then you discover it is not good for the Creator, where you start to be concerned about bestowing in order to bestow.
S. We gather with friends for the lesson, we have a desire to get together and receive the spiritual work for ourselves. Now you're saying there has to be an empty place. How can we come to it now?
R. You need to discuss with each other and read the sources, you need to reach a state where what is bothering you, what is disturbing you is the intention to receive. Meaning to enjoy for yourselves. You are facing the Creator here so for whom do you live, for whom do you do anything, for your own benefit or for the Creator's sake? For the Creator's sake is what we call in order to bestow and for your own sake is called in order to receive. In order to receive means you only feel this limited reality called this world and in order to bestow you can feel the Creator, the true upper reality. To that extent you can also feel the reality of in order to receive is not truth, it was designed in such a way that we can rise from it in order to bestow and the truth is, it doesn't exist. This is why our world which is felt in the intention to receive is called an imaginary world.
S. In previous lessons we learned we have to build a connection opposite Amalek. With Amalek we build our vessel, now we are learning we have to blot him out, to make him disappear?
R. I don't see any conflict between what we discussed and what you're saying now as we always learn that the intention to receive has to be replaced with the intention to bestow. In order to receive is the intention we call within reason and in order to bestow is the intention called above reason and this is the difference between Malchut and Bina which we have always learned. Write it down, make the correction on what you think, I don't know where the inaccuracy comes from, but we are now speaking about this in a sharper way as we are speaking about changing the intention from my sake to the Creator's sake. There is nothing else here in identifying the reality of this world that we feel in the intention to receive, from there we come to the upper reality, meaning the reality felt in the intention in order to bestow, the upper world, the world of Bina. All of that happens only by replacing the intentions to receive with the intentions to bestow, Malchut to Bina, the desire remains, all of the desires remain and the intentions change. It happens gradually from in order to receive to in order to bestow and in this way we as if raise this world to the degrees of the next world, from Malchut to Bina.
S. So we're not talking about having to keep one state opposite the other with the help of increasing the intention to build intention to bestow, here it turns out that I have to switch one part with the other?
R. Of course we don't immediately get rid of the intention to receive over all of the desires or even a specific desire as it all happens gradually. Our whole inclination is to have one intention in order to bestow over everything that is revealed. It's not that we build two systems, one in order to receive and one in order to bestow, why do we need in order to receive? This is called the imaginary world. What the Creator created in us deliberately, by gradually detaching from in order to receive and reaching a state of in order to bestow with all of our desires, we begin to identify the light from the darkness, the advantage of the light from the darkness.
3. S. (17:20) How can we not relate ourselves to the will to receive as we are the vessel to receive we don't have desires to bestow and we never will, so what are we nourished with, how is that state when we exert and to sympathize with the new form?
R. We speak of the desire to receive which the Creator created, which is egoistic and we need to change the use of this, from in order to receive for myself to in order to bestow to the others outside of me. This is the whole correction, the desires remain the same desires within us. They are 613 desires, but the intentions to use all the desires either for my own benefit or for the benefit of the Creator is what we need to change, that is not up to us to change them, but rather I ask the Creator to change that for me and I have to scrutinize this process, to detect it and after I discover my desires in the opposite form to bestow, then I ask the Creator to correct these desires which means to replace their intention from in order to receive to in order to bestow for the desire to bestow. The only difference here is the direction of the intention, how to use the desire.
S. What does it mean to fill up the empty space with the Creator?
R. All of our desires we need to correct them from in order to receive to in order to bestow, all of our desires are called the body of Adam, which is according to the goal meaning that this desire needs to be similar to the Creator this is why it is called Adam from the word Domeh, similar, correcting a desire is simple. It is only by the intention, for whose benefit is this desire working, there is no difference here between a good desire and a bad desire, a holy desire and the desire Klipa, besides the intention. Meaning if we looked at the usage of the desires, all 613 commandments, desires, whether it is in order to receive or in order to bestow, we would see no difference, no change because the intention is hidden and it only depends upon the one who is doing it. In our world we try to express an intention through the actions of bestowal, helping, loving but in the spiritual world it is all with the intention, there are no actions.
4. S. (21:57) I have to succeed in defeating what disconnects us and rise above the ego. What is the right balance between the ego and the connection with my friends?
R. When I have to try to arrange my whole relationship with a friend, to be in order to bestow for the connection of the group, for the connection of the friends. That is the correction, in order to bestow. I don't think on my own or about myself, I have to reach a state where what I think about all the friends needs to be the best, most pleasant, helpful and I do this in the most true way possible. Meaning that I have no thoughts of doing it any other way besides for their benefit if we're talking about the friends. Or the whole of humanity, or the Creator.
5. S. (23:35) How can I increase the fear of the Creator to blot out Amalek?
R. You speak very well, if you can do that by strengthening in the group by reading the articles and thinking about it, talking about it, there is a lot written about Amalek and basically it is all our work to invert the intentions from in order to receive to in order to bestow. Meaning for who am I working and first we want to change ourselves by our effort in the group, meaning if we try to be in the group and mutual aid to work to participate with the whole group, feeling that we're all in one boat and we all have the same common enemy which is that same Amalek, the egoistic desire and this is how we work, basically our work.
6. S. (25:11) Under which condition do we discover the state of erasing the memory of Amalek?
R. At first a person is immersed in order to receive, even worse than people who were just living in this world, when a person comes to the wisdom of Kabbalah it is typically the most egoistic people who come to the wisdom of Kabbalah. As it is written one who is greater than his friend his inclination is greater than himself. And then they start studying and when they start studying they have to advance towards detecting the desire with the intention in order to receive meaning their desire becomes more egoistic so they can discover it, see it, to unearth it. Then it turns out that the more a person who studies the wisdom of Kabbalah before achieving corrections, he becomes worse. If he doesn't continue on the path but rather leaves the study then he becomes very bad, much worse than people off the street. But how could it be as he studied the wisdom of Kabbalah, how could you be so evil? He didn't achieve corrections yet, his will to receive, his ego grew in order to become corrected, in order to stand out. Put it like this, say you have a car and there's something wrong with the car but you can't find out what it is, so what do we need to do?
There is great expertise in this, there are people who know how to detect where the problem is and it can be fixed, then you know what needs to be replaced in the car and then everything will run smoothly. In order for the will to receive to stand out in its brokenness, then it has to be great in its brokenness. We see it upon ourselves that as we advance in the wisdom of Kabbalah forward, we become worse, more cunning and less patient to each other and to the world and we are willing to do anything evil that there is to do. This is the beginning of the path and this is known by the Kabbalists who wrote about it here or there, we don't like talking about it so much as Kabbalists. In order to not awaken people who have nothing to do with the wisdom of Kabbalah, ideas of what the wisdom of Kabbalah is doing to people, it makes them more egoistic, greater in their ego, it is true. It makes them greater in their ego in order to reveal the problem. When a person goes to the hospital, first of all they need to know what is going on with them and if they don't, well, it is a big problem for the doctor's. So they start monitoring him and testing and the main thing is to discover the disease, then they know what to do. But in our case there are no doctors, the person himself needs to discover the disease because according to the recognition of evil, he turns to the Creator and the Creator can correct it.
Until I can discover my desires, how evil they are and they are not aimed at my benefit or anyone's benefit, not the Creator's benefit, which I don't care about the others benefit or the Creator’s benefits but to at least know that it causes harm to myself, that it is not actually doing good to me, that requires great work on the part of the person. It starts psychologically and then it extends to the work of in order to receive, in order to bestow and it can take years until a person discovers that he is detached from the Creator and it is a bad thing. He lacks the ability to achieve truth and life, and says I am better off dead, meaning that I am so incapable and I have nothing to go back to in this corporeal life as there is nothing there, and the Creator does it deliberately. In our time we are being pushed out of this world and we can't go back to it. It is like what happened with Egypt when they went through such states of suffering that they had to escape Egypt. This is assistance from above given by the Creator otherwise they would stay there and enjoy the corporeal life.
This is how they advance in finding out how their desire is for themselves and there is nothing to do besides changing the usage from self-benefit to the benefit of others. Here we work on the importance of the group and even though we hate it and we are incapable of it, we nevertheless must go deeper and deeper into the group. We have to see how through the group, we quickly and relatively, over the course of a few years, we can detect the evil that is in our desire, in our intention. We have no other choice but this is the only way to do this and throughout history only a handful of people came to the wisdom of Kabbalah and now the Creator sets up such an external circumstances, conditions in this world where big amounts of people, masses of people can come to the wisdom of Kabbalah. This is something that never happened before because we are coming from a disconnection unlike what happened in the exodus from Egypt to the first ruin of the first temple, the second ruin, we come from complete detachment and so the process that we go through is a process of true correction.
7. S. (33:53) Not too long ago we spoke about this empty space of Illumination of Malchut, this darkness or the huge abyss and if I remember correctly you said that this illumination is always in the background, do we understand correctly that Amalek is there for us to understand where we are with regards to this illumination of Malchut to come to a more precise request to the Creator to help us?
R. Why are you now latching onto the illumination of the Malchut, as if it is in front of you in some state?
S. We and this empty space, we won't be active in asking the Creator to help us to identify these empty spaces and to ask Him to give us the right intention?
R. You don't need to look for things that you don't have and there isn't so much written about it all so it will appear when it needs to, you need to search for connection with the friends and through this connection you will find the qualities that help you connect with the Creator. Don't come up with all kinds of your own illumination of Malchut or Keter. There are many discernments here and you don't need them. You need to simply know that there are the friends, there are me and between us there is my intention to receive, my desire to receive, how do I invert this desire in order to bestow. The desire, I don't need to change it. I just need to change the intention on top of it and for that I need the life that reforms, the upper lights. To the extent that I connect with the friends I discover the Creator stands behind them.
S. With that respect I understand but we are sensitive beings and these thoughts of where I am they come after I feel, after I have a sensation, after I feel resistance to the emptiness or the darkness, it is there and it is revealing giving us a push to want this connection with the friends and to ask for them the request to the Creator. If this is the correct way that we can bring it more in to work with it in the proper way?
R. I recommend you do leave these things like the illumination of Malchut as we need to achieve connection with the friends as much as possible, a spiritual connection and there you will find the disturbance that will help you connect with the Creator is there you will discover the upper world. It is good that you asked, but don't think in that direction that you brought up.
8. S. (38:58) In our 10, we have many workshops about the topic of Amalek and we reach this place of not understanding where we connect and where we leave the desert?
R. Amalek does not go away until the end of correction. All of my intentions in order to receive appears in all of the desires from the smaller to the greater until the final correction, this is the intention, the desires remain the same desires as they were created by the Creator but the intention on top of these desires, we have to correct that. We first have to detect that the desires are in order to receive, with whatever desires we feel and then begin correcting to the extent that we draw the light to reform over these desires, that this light from the intentions to receive which is called Amalek, Al Menat LeKabel in order to receive, to Al Menat LeHashpia in order to bestow.
9. S. (40:56) How are we certain we're advancing in the war against Amalek?
R. When I start to feel that there is a discernment that stands between me and the Creator, that there is a certain unique illumination upon me from the Creator which I don't detect but I feel that without that disturbance I would be able to sense Him, just sense that I am right in front of Him. So this disturbance is exactly between us and it is my intention in order to receive. This is what I need to remove, to blot out. That is basically our work.
10. S. (42:09) Concerning the ego that is revealed in the Kabbalist, sometimes I feel like I am trying to come out of Egypt as if deserting this world and I feel like I am deserting many people who I feel are very close to me such as disturbing my own kids. It is as if I am deserting the Titanic and leaving my kids in the cabin that I am concerned with myself. How do I deal with this feeling when I feel so selfish and just saving myself only?
R. In your egoistic desire you think you are concerned only with yourself even when you advance towards spirituality because this advancement towards spirituality is still also egoistic and so this is why you seemingly are leaving these little children. Instead of taking your sweet little children to the zoo, to a walk in the park and all kinds of things, you are going to meet with the friends and you have to wake up for the lesson and so on. Of course, it seems to you that way, but you have to understand that this is your choice and also to trust that's you don't come out of the governance of the creator and to the extent that you come closer to the Creator you are doing good to all of the souls and specially the souls close to you. Therefore to think that you are leaving your wife and your children, to just take a few hours of your own rest, I don't think you are really doing harm to your children. At the end of the day your children will receive through the higher influence from above a much greater fulfillment than what you think you can fulfill them with a few more hours instead of studying Kabbalah. That is one thing and secondly if you would do the right calculation trust me you would see that you are not missing out, you are not taking away anything from your children but that this is all orchestrated for you from above. The Creator is doing this to you so that you will raise the importance for the Creator more than what you had for these hours that you're in the lesson. Do the right calculation and you will see.
11. S. (46:06) Over the years there are many people who come, so I'm saying some leave. Those who leave decide to start criticizing, slandering the friends and the teacher and I don't understand why this happens. I don't why doesn't he just leave and enjoy his wife? He starts to see that the goal of his life is to work against us. What is the reason for that?
R. It is natural and Rabash and Baal HaSulam also right about this along with the rest of the Kabbalists because a person who went into a system that works against his ego and sees that he can't advance in this, he quits the path and then he is in confrontation with this path because this path said you have to rise above the ego and he didn't rise above it. So it turns out that everything that happens in our organization, this whole tendency, the whole disposition is against him as it seems incorrect and the person wants to justify himself. So he gets out of it and there is nothing you can do here. It happens many times in history that we have to understand that if a person leaves us and hasn't achieved the goal then he has to justify himself. Then he acts against us of course.
S. Why does he want to harm so much?
R. Because by this he justifies himself, you are disturbing him and that you are continuing while he quits.
S. Some people try to turn to the friends and to slander, to falsify things. What do we do with these things?
R. I don't think we need to do anything about it as it is all managed from above. I totally do not envy what kind of twist that they have, where the Klipa is using them. Their way towards corrections has now become very long if they don't return to the right direction. It seems to me that we don't need to do anything about it, we have the same way that corrects, the usual way to return to the Creator to strengthen the connections between us and that the Klipa is always covering the Holiness so that it will have something do not arrest itself from and in this way it guards the fruit.
S. How and where does a person take the strength to fight?
R. It is inherent in nature once he comes out, please us coming out from underneath our general influence a different force operates on him and puts him in a different direction. Then it comes to him from within, this approach in this drive to do harm is called Klipa. It's not like he comes out with indifference or even thinking that he spent a few years here that he heard and developed a little bit. In many cases we are speaking about people. What would they do if they weren't with us during those years? We need to understand that in the end we have no need to fight with them. We just need to continue as usual turning to the Creator that he will do everything.
S. Let us say there are friends in the world Kli who are being addressed by these people who are slandering. What should they do?
R. We should talk about it like we are now to clarify so that everyone understands we're in the system and in this system there are contradicting, opposite forces and we are in between those forces. In order to give us a choice of where to be drawn, to the intention to receive or to the intention to bestow and each one should calculate for himself. On the other hand, people who do choose the path of harming the wisdom of Kabbalah go into a state that I do not envy. Their way has now become, it could be unless they come back, they have gone into the system of Klipa and they will end their life without any spiritual success rather they will end it with a minus and have to pay for it in their future lives.
12. S. (53:04) To adhere to the words Rabash in the article of “The Importance of the Society”, he says a person receives an awakening from above. That he comes to a place where people work knowingly, in order to reach bestowing contentment to the Creator. A person receives several awakenings and if he doesn't make the effort to achieve that, then he accepts some excuses for himself and he must flee the campaign. A person stays righteous, meaning by leaving this society he is always right about it and by justifying himself he truly feels himself as righteous.
R. Yes and then it seems like he is going to save the world from the Kabbalists, you can see it on them. In the framework of Amalek that we are talking about it is also good that we spoke about this, you can ask some more if you want.
13. S. (54:41) In the introduction of the lesson you said what changes our intention is the lights and we have to instruct, ask the light to make the changes, what exactly do I need to change in me or all of us in the 10 for the light to follow this instruction from us?
R. We just need to continue. There is nothing more. The main thing is to simply continue with our regular lives, with our families and everything that there is to build our lives along with this lot called the wisdom of Kabbalah or spiritual work, the revelation of the soul. Continuing with it doesn't mean you go into a six-month course or something else. It is a way of life by which you change this life, by what you change your life in the next world. Each day you are getting closer to it so we have to understand that this is what you have, It shouldn't interfere with any of your engagements, nothing. Rather that you have another way by which to reveal the upper world and the Creator in this life.
S. About the redemption, like the blink of an eye?
R. It doesn't mean it happens immediately, a blink of an eye means that it's the inversion from seeing only this world and beginning to also feel the spiritual world comes to a person sort of absent-mindedly all of us. To feel that this is how it is supposed to happen, that these are new qualities being revealed in him.
S. Every day we need to add something so that this prayer will happen if I look at the path I say it took maybe five years to understand what it's about and then five more years just to understand how to be in the group and then five more years to understand about the prayer, so what is this daily addition that we do until the finish line?
R. Just like you do in this world, so approximately at 15 years, a person in age 15 does he understand anything about life? Does he already know how to get longer? How to do anything? Although he has been in this life 24 hours a day with billions of people around him. Here you are speaking about a person who hardly began to learn it, not knowing his senses but only to study a few hours a day and maybe not even every day. What are you talking about compared to this world we're with our senses, with our egos, with everything that we are already in it, with our relatives, our teachers, the whole world around us. Conversely, the spiritual world that we are about to come to know, we have a very weak perception of it so it's not a wonder that it takes us so long. But you cannot rush this development as it is done this way on purpose because then and only in this way can we update all of the systems and all of the worlds. Where we now perform a spiritual act even in the smallest operation that is hardly even spiritual, but by this we influence all of the worlds. All of the systems up to the highest system.
It is like a baby when it needs something for its life like a pacifier that you have to invent rubber and all kinds of materials and to create the special machines to manufacture it and then to deliver it, ship it, just tell it. The whole world has to work for this, the whole world, if you start searching you will see that everything that we manufacture everyone participates in it. Therefore it is the same in our spiritual connection where it is the whole system not just where it is here, egoistic and confined, limited. There we have a whole and complete spiritual system so when we correct something, waiting to influence the entire system and from the entire system it comes back to us. So you need to understand where you are and today you can already talk about it because the world is getting so beat up that people can't really justify their existence in the corporeal world. You will see what will happen soon in the next 5 to 10 years, how the world will deteriorate more and more to a point where it will be clear to everyone that there is no future. That we are just existing and we have no choice, because it is hard to die.
14. S. (01:01:56) To add Rabash said about people who leave and have a need to justify themselves and attack the society, and as Rabash writes and Letter 8 because they are biased in the will to receive in them and the bribe blinds the eyes of the wise they promptly see the opposite of what they thought of us. After all the praises and virtues that they found in us that each of us is praiseworthy and honorable, once they made their resolution that they quickly executed the verdict passionately and zealously since we spoil the reputation with our views. On the one hand we see that truth is on our side and the other way is burdensome for them. To excuse themselves they have no other choice but to destroy us and obliterate our name from the face of the Earth. They toil and strain for that to disperse us into every direction. Letter 8
R. Yes, these things have been known in the wisdom of Kabbalah from the previous generations up to today.
S. It is very important that everyone reads “The Very Narrow Bridge”. It's written about this topic that Rav was just talking about. The whole historical process is spoken about in this book how it happens to all of the Kabbalists.
R. It is clear because basically were working against the whole world we're coming out of the egoistic will to receive and we want to take upon ourselves a different behavior and to the extent that the Creator is opposite the created being and we want to rise to his level, that we are opposite of all of creation so it is no wonder that you can't find in it any support. That when you come to some people to speak to them about the wisdom of Kabbalah you have a thousand dissenters that reject you, but what the mind doesn't do, time does. That is how it will work out, let it be this way.
15. S. (01:05:22) It sounds from your interpretation that forces are working on that person that you're saying is managed from above, the Klipa who controls him so it sounds like they spiritual mechanism that is working, the same system but on the negative side.
R. You think that a person is not a beast that he is not operated from forces up above him? Of course the forces operate him it doesn't exempt him from what he does. A person does not move a finger below unless there is an angel above him to strike him and tell him to grow.
S. What is a person guilty of, how does he even move a finger and what is it depending upon him?
R. That is a very important and different topic that the debt is given through those who are at fault and the merit is through the righteous, to the extent a person is dedicated to the friends and honest and doesn’t agree to do harm, there is also a person’s participation, he is not completely managed. This is how it happens. In short, I don't envy those people who go against the society.
S. I'm not asking about the perspective of envy. How do you guard yourself from falling into such a state? Where is such a debt that is happening to you?
R. We don't need to do anything with respect to them, we just need to strengthen ourselves among each other and continue and to understand that the shell, Klipa along the way does its duty and it is not nice if it happens to someone because the debt is done through those who are guilty. What we have to do is only strengthen the connection between us and understand that all of those disturbances are only in order to discover the place where we need to make another effort for connection.
S. What is my confidence here? Perhaps I'm investing everything I can. We see many friends who have invested everything from the outside and all of a sudden they're in debt.
R.
It's
because
they
think
that
they
went
into
the
wisdom
of
Kabbalah
like
going
into
university,
that
they
take
a
course,
this
course
open
my
eyes
I
see
the
angels
in
heaven,
that
I
can
arrange
all
of
these
things
and
do
some
hocus-pocus
and
fix
my
life,
to
steer
it
the
way
that
I
want.
I
acquire
contact
with
the
higher
forces,
I
don't
know.
There
are
all
kinds
of
thoughts
from
people
when
they
come
to
the
wisdom
of
Kabbalah.
We
have
to
talk
about
how
those
who
get
into
it,
get
into
it
in
order
to
change
their
relation
to
life
and
in
the
end
change
their
lives,
their
life’s
purpose,
the
essence
of
their
lives.
The
wisdom
of
Kabbalah
has
entered
his
life
for
several
hours
each
day
and
perhaps
not
only
for
several
hours,
does
he
think
about
it,
is
he
concerned
with
it
as
it
still
changes
him.
This
is
what
we
have
to
talk
about.
On
the
other
hand,
you'll
see
it's
not
really
a
problem
because
day-to-day
our
world
is
discovering
how
it
is
simply
in
a
landslide,
a
free
fall
and
that
we
have
a
problem.
That
all
of
the
people
in
the
world,
all
of
the
billions
of
people
we
don't
know
what
is
happening
or
what
will
happen.
Only
a
person
who
reveals
the
Creator,
everything
is
opened,
revealed
to
him,
the
upper
world
opens
up
to
him,
the
higher
forces
open
up
and
accordingly
he
advances
for
his
own
benefit
and
for
the
benefit
of
others.
For
the
benefit
of
everyone,
for
those
who
interfere
with
the
development
of
the
wisdom
of
Kabbalah,
what
do
they
want?
They
want
to
steal
from
others
the
ability
to
develop
in
this
way.
I
want
to
know
this,
I
want
to
understand
that,
I
want
to
study
that,
how
can
you
forbid
this
for
me?
Am
I
disturbing
anyone
by
this?
Am
I
getting
worse
for
this?
But
this
Klipa,
the
shell
twists
these
people
in
the
world
against
the
wisdom
of
Kabbalah,
turn
them
against
the
wisdom
of
Kabbalah
but
in
fact,
tell
me
what
can
be
the
argument
of
those
who
study
Kabbalah?
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
Judaism
or
with
anything.
It
is
only
a
Klipa,
this
power,
this
force
is
not
really
understood,
just
like
the
people
who
were
with
us
and
who
left
and
now
they
are
working
against
us.
They
themselves
don't
know
why,
how
they
justified
themselves
but
in
truth
they
have
a
big
problem.
We
don't,
we
will
continue
as
the
Kabbalists
have
lived
for
thousands
of
years
and
now
we
are
advancing
towards
the
last
generation
and
it
doesn't
matter.
They
can't
do
anything
to
us.
They
only
end
up
losing.
S. What are the precursors for a person who might leave the path, can we identify this?
R. That they are not so immersed in learning but mainly in the society, when they are staying apart so to speak, man's pride will bring him down.
16. S. (01:12:53) What is this need to hurt? Why not just go and do what you want with your life?
R. If it stays this way he can't justify himself, if he was with us for years and then left their justification that he needs to give to himself that he is right. His ego pushes him to search for the justification why he did this.
S. He justifies himself. What does this give him?
R. It gives him the sensation that he was right, that he is right in his life, usually there are people who are also willing to pay him to cover up all kinds of things for him, with those people the calculation for the future is very heavy.
S. If I run into such a situation where a person left and started slandering. What do I do as it's like a virus?
R. You mustn't listen to them. You must be near them in any way until a person reveals spirituality he is very weak and can be pulled in any direction.
S. So what is our shield as a group?
R. To be connected only to the friends here. You just need to understand that this is the difference between the will to receive in order to receive, in the will to bestow, good and bad light and darkness, between those two worlds that one is opposite from the other. The inversion can happen with anyone who hasn't achieved spiritual attainment, the spiritual feeling.
S. Only after we achieve spirituality, bestowal, are we promised?
R. Yes, there is nothing you can do as these are the forces that operate in nature. You see how the virus comes to us, in order to strengthen us, to promote us but they come in order to clean up humanity, to raise it a little higher because there is nothing that is revealed in humanity that is against us, that is to our detriment it only manifest in this way but everything that happens is only to increase not to decrease, always. Even those who left, let them leave and good luck to them. Whatever they want, but for us we have no dealings with them. They cannot convince us of anything because they have no proof. They have nothing to present and to show us that we are not right. They see that we understand more, that we feel more, even in this world, not to mention spirituality where they have nothing, that way I understand what is happening and we understand what is happening. Okay let's drop it, the upper system tends to everything and it will tend to them as well, it all comes from one source in the end and this is how it will unfold.
17. S. (01:17:53) If the war of the Creator against Amalek is in every generation, what does this mean in every generation? What does this mean on our path?
R. Every generation means on every level of coarseness that is revealed, these forces in order to receive that grow with the will to receive that develops, opposite that there are disturbances, in order to receive, in order to bestow, there are disturbances against it, or opposite it we can't help it. That is how it works. God has created one opposite the other. Each one still has free choice and we mustn’t do anything. I was next to Rabash for 12 years, his archive came to me, most of it. When I was next to him. I wrote down everything he said, I recorded it on a cassette recorder, I recorded everything he said during the lessons and I received from him all of his notes, his writings, The Shamati notebook which is his precious notebook, I received everything from him. But after he passed away I copied, usually I would even give the original to people so that they would copy it themselves. Shamati, the cassettes, things nobody had, I was the only one who had them and I gave everything to everyone. So some turned it into a thing and expanded it, some published their own version of Shamati. They did all kinds of things with it. I am happy. So that they will make more books and more sources of Kabbalah. I don't care if I'm there or that, there is no mention of it coming from me or anything. It is for my benefit that my name isn't there, I don't need this reward. This is why I didn't object to it, to any group or any person whoever he studied with us and then left and went on his way. What am I trying to say, it's not from this side of Holiness that people who had some contact with the revelation of the Creator, the wisdom of Kabbalah, the correction of the soul that they have some sort of a conflict between them that's not good, it doesn't come from Holiness. All of those things that come up in us that we rise against one another, all of the political calculations, there's nothing true, no truth in them. I see today we went deeply into Amalek.
18. S. (01:22:34) How to test and express the desire to receive in the ten?
R. When we don't do any of that we just need to do the opposite. The intentions for connection are what we need to restrict in them.
19. S. (01:23:02) When I make room that is vacant from the intention in order to receive, to fill it with the intention to bestow, do I need to raise the greatness of the Creator in the 10?
R. You turn to the Creator. You have to first of all organize the 10, increase its importance, bring them all closer to the Creator and out of the connection between you and the 10 to turn to the Creator. That is the right way to advance.
20. S. (01:24:02) Confused between the prayer and the intention in order to change the intention does prayer need to proceed the intention or the other way around?
R. If you want to change your intention then the prayer has to come first, you pray to change your intention otherwise how will you change your intention, all of the changes come from above and we have to be in constant cry to the Creator, constant, non-stop and then it turns out that I turn to him with every single question with every single change that I want to happen. I don't do it, it only happens to the Creator otherwise it won't happen.
21. S. (01:25:15) Those who leave, from the past, they know that the wisdom of Kabbalah is a science, so it is not clear why people then turn to religion?
R. The wisdom of Kabbalah is a science and people think that through religion, it doesn't matter what religion that they can find connection with the Creator. This is how they feel it is possible because what is religion? In religion they do all kinds of activities in which they are told that the upper force likes them and they are also told how to pray to the upper force so he will fix everything for them. The wisdom of Kabbalah is not against religion, it just says besides your cry to the Creator, you can also arrange your own transformation to become similar to the upper force, to be similar to the Creator to achieve the degree of Adam HaRishon. That is similar to the Creator, this is the whole difference. So religion leads a person in this world while the wisdom of Kabbalah elevates the person to the level of the Creator. This is the difference but it depends upon the soul of the person in each of us there is an informative part, a part of information that demands what do I need in life, do I need the purpose of life, the essence of life or do I need to live like now only in a more comfortable way, to be better off. Accordingly, a person is either drawn to religion if he just wants to calm himself down and start living with prayers, services, rituals, to just go on with life. To build a religious way of life, no matter in which religion, or he wants to arrange his life in such a way that he discovers the system that runs the world and he wants to be incorporated in that system, to live in it. For this he needs to change himself, the wisdom of Kabbalah is intended for people who want to change themselves according to the Creator. Religion is in order to give a person support so he gets confidence, tranquility, peace of mind, they are two degrees, two levels.
22. S. (01:28:51) We learn there's no Creator outside the 10 and when we hear the lesson we're inspired by it and we don't always make the connection between the inspiration from the lesson and the work in the 10, how to work together so the lesson is effective?
R. We have to talk about it amongst ourselves, what the lesson was about what you understood, what is important from the lesson to talk about it and try to make it permeate the awareness of society.
23. S. (01:29:47) Some relatives and family members are hateful towards him because he studies Kabbalah. How should you relate to this?
R. Calm them down as much as possible because this is how, am I transgressing because of this, am I bothering anyone by this, you don’t agree, I am not a thief, a murderer, what do you want for me?, if I had a different hobby would it be better, I don't know. Let's say I now start to play cards, is that better? In the wisdom of Kabbalah I get up and sit down next to my computer, I study for a few hours a day, what is so bad about that, what kind of bad things am I learning? You need to explain to them it is philosophy, it is perception of life, so why is it, explain to me, why do you care? I myself want to know, what do you care that I am dealing with this a few hours a day, if I would enter some other hobby would there have been a difference? No, explain to me why? For certain it would be different, why? What is it that you have and why do you care about this, why does it bother you? They don't understand why it bothers them, it bothers him because this method has to do with the development of the soul and this is why they feel that there is a certain method of changes in a person that they don't have and that he has. What can you do about it? You need to calm them down and they will slowly get used to it, they may not agree but they will accept it.
24. S. (01:32:27) You do such great work taking us from the darkness to the light. You are the messiah of the last generation. You are like the great Kabbalist of the past, Rambam, Rabash, Rashbi, a new name was revealed Ramlan, we love you. I just wanted to ask about Amalek. When we connect in intention and bestowal, when we are in the intention we can go without the disturbances of Amalek, can it awaken and disturb us?
R. Amalek awakens after a few years where a person starts to do something and it seems to him it's not working, it is working, he has no choice but he continues. This is called when you are tired with your efforts, that you didn't see the Creator just as it is written in the Exodus from Egypt and then Amalek comes after that and when Amalek it becomes easier because a person sees before him a disturbance. He sees in a clear way as it truly stands against him and the Creator. Then when he has engaged in this disturbance and the Creator and then he starts to feel that he is yearning for the Creator and is inviting the Creator to change this disturbance, to even erase it. This is how he works, meaning that when we truly come to the battle with Amalek it is something more clear, something better than what was before. Because before that we were kind of foggy not knowing what we're doing, who is doing, the years are passing there are no benefits from this and we don't know whether it's right or wrong. When Amalek is revealed after sometime then a person begins to be more concentrated on the spiritual work, Amalek is before him chasing, arranging more correctly for him this spiritual work. It is like any Klipa, it comes in order to sort out the correct actions to help with sanctity, Kedusha, a help against.
25. S. (01:36:50) Focused we don't have the feeling of this upper world that we are attaining something, if I feel the upper world I feel an inner connection and I don't have a reason not to be with you or in the lessons, we are in a world of forces are in this world and our actions are in the intentions
R. We are in a system of forces, a network of forces and if we want to relate correctly it doesn't matter what we feel, if we want to relate correctly towards the system of forces we need to arrange the relations correctly between us. Because only through the 10 and I established my correct attitude towards the spiritual system and to invite from it the correct bestowal upon myself. The group here is that instrument, that device, that means through which I arrange the entire upper system upon myself in the right way. Because I put between me and the upper light, the upper system, I put the group in between and then I arrange myself correctly accordingly.
S. This instrument, can we influence it in some way, I don't know if it's the right question?
R. Through our efforts in the work in the society we can influence everything but through the group, through the 10 only.
26. S. (01:39:37) How to reach a true desire to eradicate Amalek?
R. Try to see it in between us and how much it bothers us to connect how the connection becomes important and the more important the connection becomes, Amalek appears more as a saboteur.
27. S. (01:40:33) Can we say that Amalek is our mutual enemy allowing me and the Creator to be partners against him?
R. Yes.
28. S. (01:40:53) We are working with materials and publishing that teach a different attitude to this world but we ourselves aren't and it's an example to this change, is that maybe what is rejecting people?
R. Don’t show any examples to anyone, not a good one or a bad one, we need to work only inside the group between us because we are working in order to dispel the ego from us and then we will be corrected even, they won't understand that because these relations are concealed from everyone. We need to be either indifferent towards others or good to others somewhat but it is not that we stand out. I don't need to show everyone but I am willing to serve everyone and do good for everyone, no. I have no tendency towards that as my entire tendency is towards the center of the group. You need to be concerned with that and not with whether others will accept you this way as they don't even need to know what you are engaged in.
29. S. (01:42:46) How do we connect the in order to receive for the intentions of being more revealed and present?
R. What is the problem with that?
S. Are we still working generally about connection or special attention to each desire?
R. Connection, it is always the work on connection. We are correcting the general shattered vessel.
S. Let's say I start my day, I already recognized the desires that I have, in order to receive, that disconnect me from the group. Do I have to pay special attention to these desires or do I work in general?
R. You're confused I don't understand too, we need to try to connect between us in the 10. What is in general, what is not.
S. Talking about desires that disconnect me from the group. I'm in them in order to receive, they are more revealed do they need to get special intentions for these desires?
R. I erased them, anything that wants to disconnect me from the 10 I disconnect from myself.
S. That is the correction.
R. Yes, that is called an external one and in every place this is what the Kabbalists say.
S. We learn that we need to correct intentions on those desires that they will be in order to bestow?
R. Who’s desires? Ours or someone else's?
S. The desires in me in order to receive, how do I correct them in order to bestow?
R. By prayer, only prayer.
30. S. (01:45:03) Whoever you raise in sanctity, I don't understand the example in the Talmud where the students fell and missed out, why is this example so sensitive?
R. I don't know. I don't enter into such samples. I understand, but I don't want to get into those and don't bring them here. There are examples, there are states where we didn't even enter spirituality and already we need to discuss them and arrange our attitude towards them. How can this be? How can this be? What an audacity that you even touch on such things in our group and secondly that we are not yet at all about what it even speaks about.
31. S. (01:46:15) Should every friend go according to the decision of the 10 even if he doesn't agree, like getting a vaccination or being involved in dissemination?
R. The vaccination, I don't think that is a spiritual root but I think that my friends need to try to be in a decision of the 10 as one man in one heart. That this is not something that obliges me to love, that what they are eating or that I would eat too, or how they should dress that I should also dress that way. There is this or there is that, the decision of the 10 is a spiritual decision we need to be as one man and one heart and our desires and to connect them all in the Creator.
S. Let's say we didn't scrutinize and most of the friends did something should the other friends follow most of them?
R. We need to check that I can't answer you in such a general way.
S. Should we disconnect from people who resist the wisdom of Kabbalah from our family, our acquaintances to neutralize the disturbances?
R. To neutralize yes, but to disconnect if they are your relatives, you cannot. Nevertheless, being a gentleman, we always have such relationships with everyone where we are a little open here and a little close there. Also here try to be comfortable toward everyone to let them understand that there is an argument in these things between us but that we don't want to argue. Why should I argue with you if we can be friends?
32. S. (01:48:35) What implies to love the bad as the good?
R. That is especially with the Creator when we unite in the Creator that it turns out that we connect to the bad just as we connect to the good, because it all comes from him and we need if we are really connected to the Creator and not from what it seems to us from all kinds of political forces or ideological. We need to accept it that way.
S. We need to find other ways to relate, to awaken the heart?
R. Yes, so what is the question? We need to find another way to stimulate the hearts, don't you have any other way? There's no other way but to talk between you about the importance. To awaken the hearts, turn to the Creator together, so that he will awaken your heart, your united heart. First examine how you awaken the hearts and then say that you have this way or another way, what way do you have today to awaken the heart? Explain a certain way? A simple way to connect together to ask the Creator other than that there is no other possibility.
33. S. (01:51:05) What is Amalek trying to teach us about the Creator? How does the Creator work for us to resemble him?
R. Amalek stands between us and the Creator and it is it that especially awakens us in order to receive and begin to identify after it that we need to be in order to bestow. The work with Amalek even though it's more difficult it is more clear and as it is clear to us that someone, I fought a desire, control that wants to harm us and that it is clear in the fact that it wants to harm.
S. Are the friends allowed to recognize Amalek other friends?
R. No such thing, only what is between us nothing can act out the Amalek.
S. Sometimes we can recognize in a friend how Amalek is working in a friend than on me?
R. Yes.
S. Can we say how it works on a friend?
R. Yes, it could be that you see that sometimes.
S. There's a clear state. When you see that a friend has one leg out and we feel he gave up in this state before he leaves, there's like this scene where you take someone who disturbs in the movie theater so you escort him out, can we help him leave with advice. We know about friends who leave after years say come back, not with hatred as they didn’t leave with hatred.
R. It is clear that eventually everyone will return rather in this incarnation or the next as there are those that Rabash had present in a certain morning lesson, we're all of a sudden one came and said, eight or ten years he wasn't here, then the second one came and Rabash said well they're starting to come back and he was maybe about 15 years so such things do take place. We need to relate to this as a normal thing, by the way a person doesn't even feel that is left for so many years. Just like he went out yesterday or a week ago and now he's coming back. This week is not this week it was 10 years and this is how it is. I saw it on them, it is truly a wonder how they feel that they never left.
S. Can friends who are sensitive now, know how they can go out to that friend so that maybe hatred and anger won't develop in him?
R. We need to see. We need to know how to do this but eventually you should know that these are natural things that happened. It is too bad for them, because by that, they're entering into a shell that will later have to purify themselves a lot if they don't come back. Usually it is people that are very complex, a little convoluted within. They have a certain instability inside, this is a known thing that happens that way. We also need to understand that there are people that it is hard for them to return because it is an unpleasant feeling for them to do so. Look, it happens and there are many such things and many souls in the plan of creation that leave and return and what can you do.
34. S. (01:56:54) Can you explain the difference between eradicating and bringing them to the good, what is our part in that to ask?
R. To eradicate we're talking about the intention to receive in which we need to erase, for it not to exist so that in its place we will erect the intention in order to bestow that is what we need to do, corrections are where in place of this we put that.
35. S. (01:57:49) The term that love covers all crimes are those crimes Amalek or not?
R. Yes.
S. So hatred is the force of the Creator, we have to overcome the force of the Creator?
R. Also Amalek is from the Creator it is written about him, I've created the in evil inclination as help against him.
S. Is there Amalek in the 10, that we can beat him?
R. You can't triumph but only with the help of the Creator.
S. Is there Amalek in the 10 or should it be revealed?
R. Some remains in each and every one until we eradicate it.
S. So it has to be revealed?
R. Yes, at the beginning of the lesson I said it until the end of correction.
S. So Amalek is already in our 10s?
R. In a concealed manner it exists in each and every one. In every single one, it is an intention that comes from the shattering. We need to correct it on the ladder of degrees slowly.
36. S. (01:59:23) Should we accept everybody back into society?
R. No we need to see that and in what way we accept people back, usually we can see people that we didn't go out to causes damage, because they wanted to justify themselves so such people I would not receive back, not immediately, maybe later after some time but not according to however a person's wind is blowing, saying we have to agree with whatever direction they are going in.
S. They don't have a correction?
R. It's very difficult as they need to subdue themselves very strongly but probably doesn't let them do so and pride is in the will to receive, is the greatest Amalek there.
37. S. (02:00:46) Questions from the connection duty with the friends today, what tasks do you recommend to have during this day after such a lesson, what should we scrutinize around the topic of this lesson?
R. We are in excerpts that are called smiting blotting the memory of Amalek come on. Just the intentions to receive that we have but even that there will be no return to them whatsoever, this is the kind of thing that we have to come to, this is the intention. We need to see how everything revolves in the world in the same direction. The world is disclosing more and more evil from day-to-day, fifty years ago, a hundred years ago the world was much more in a gentle way where people spoke with their gloves on in a very kind way towards each other, courteous and so on and today the world is much more open and disclosed, the ego is much more revealed and day after day we have more and more revelations, in our egoistic will to receive that brings us all kinds of forms and they forms of still, vegetative, animal and speaking in the human society. What the mind doesn't do time well, you will see that within the next few years maybe even less than that that these things will be clarified, we don't need to exert too much on this but what the Mind want to do time will do and these things will be disclosed and fall, disclosed and fall on their own as this is the process of the last generation. This is why I have no problem with his people who leave and feel like they need to slander us, this is their role. But to be in contact with him, for certain not, as Rabash writes.
Excerpt 17 (02:03:42 - 02:05:25)
38. R. Meaning that we need to work against the intention to receive, everyone working together and to ask together from the Creator that all of the intentions to receive better called in reason that way he will exchange them to above reason, to in order to bestow, we want no more than that and only to turn to the Creator that all of our work and how to connect between us. Also with that you can turn to the Creator to help us and afterwards to turn to him together that he will perform that action, everything through the upper system where the force of corruption is and two feel and to see and all of our senses as much as it changes us.
Excerpt 18 (02:06:48 - 02:07:49)
39. R. The plea to the Creator with the same problem in the same request that the cradle will escort us, organize us, aim us in all of our work with the intention to receive until we scrutinize it, isolate it and upon it we ask for correction.
40. S. (02:08:22) Where does the request of the work of the Creator begin and where does our work begin in clarifying the lack that we need to correct?
R. In your decision. That still isn't clear to you, you don't see it. That's why I'm saying in your decision that you reach a state we have done everything that we can do, try together that you reach a state, that you do what you can do and that's how it happens. That we ask of the Creator and afterwards you will see, that you will discover that really you can't do anything if not with the collective general request of everybody together in the 10. Pay attention to it that we have one deficiency that there won't be Amalek between us and the Creator.
S. What stage do we need to take this request into account after the fact when we say we didn't succeed, or in the middle?
We are working on connection. Where do we need to now say: here we are turning to the Creator, from the beginning we need to now say: complete this for us, we are going to connect or later at the end of the action we say we tried… (Cut off by Rav)
R. Right away you turn to Him, you have to scrutinize what you are asking the Creator with. You have to emphasize your deficiency, your request, your necessities, you need to come with something in your hands, what are you like a baby crying and that's it?
S. It's clear not but I know that my actions will end with turning to the Creator in advance?
R. No. You also want to see results and with those results you can turn to the Creator again. What you received or not, say thanks or ask again. Learn from a baby as much as he bugs and doesn't let the mother until he gets what he wants.
S. He immediately turns to his mother, so I want to see my friends connected, see myself as small and then great so all of those things, all of these thoughts and these in her efforts that I'm going to start with, that I take into account the partner that needs to do this for me?
R. It is all called a preparation for the prayer, a prayer before the prayer.
S. What is the prayer itself?
R. A prayer itself is already a scrutinized deficiency within the 10 that you stabilize it correctly and raise it to the Creator. The deficiency is like an empty plate that you give to him and you say this is what I want you to fill. You know somewhat what you want more or less what you are about to receive and what your deficiencies should be and you will hold this plate or this bowl together.
S. What is it considered that we are all holding that plate .We all work in general in connection to that we also have a prayer at the beginning of the day?
R. If you don't feel that you are together, holding the plate together, so also you have to pray about that for the vessel to be ready for it, everything is gradual.
41. S. (02:12:43) To continue, as a 10, do we need to exercise this request even if it's not from the depth of the heart just we need to ask all the time?
R. We need to get used to being in a constant dialogue with the Creator but two more and more add society in there, \this is called like when you focus on a camera or a diaphragm, or distance that's when we focus more on the Creator. This is how we need to be with all kinds of questions, cries, anything to be concerned about that camera the scrutiny in our plea and the scrutiny in our perception. The small nuances of how we see and recognize him, how we turn to him and how we expect from him, how we expect an answer that will be clear to the maximum we can understand, that is our work
42. S. (02:14:14) When we become a complete 10 and we follow the recommendations can we arrive in spirituality in 3 to 5 years. What does it mean that it takes a blink of an eye?
R. That spirituality is always before you and it is nor far. Only your intention is concealing the upper world from you, the upper lights, the Creator, the system, it is all concealed behind her intention in order to receive. Meaning between you and the spiritual, and Ein Sof, is your intention to receive. All of the wisdom of Kabbalah is how to work, not just throw it out but to correct this intention to receive called Amalek in order to bestow. That is the whole thing.
43. S. (02:14:49) What are we asking the Creator to blot out Amalek or the adhesion with the friends?
R. We need to ask what is important for us. If not this than that. For me it’s important for me to find shoes so ask the Creator for shoes, what is in a person's heart ask about such things? What deficiency do we need to work on, that is the question? That if this deficiency will be clear to us, so with it we will turn to the Creator. We need to scrutinize in society what deficiency it is that we are thinking about. We are in prison. We are in a bad state, we are going through a pandemic that goes for a few months and comes back. We have a lot of world issues, troubles, inner collisions that are going through difficult states and they are still before us. There are a lot of problems and we have to scrutinize, is that what we are doing with all of this. This we have to raise to the Creator together. We need to understand with all of our questions what we can change and what we can't change and how to say the difference between what we can change and what we can't. I can't change the desire to receive but the intention to receive I have to separate it from the will to receive, to peel it off, like a peel on a fruit and then I will be able to eat the fruit with the correct taste that tastes good if I peel off the peel. That's it. That's what we need to do. And we have to scrutinize, what are we doing with all of this? This we have to raise the creator together .this we have to get rid of it this is the essential thing.
S. Simply this intention includes everything
R. Of course the intention to receive is depicting all of this reality to us and if instead of this we will have an intention to bestow we will have a different reality, different relationships between everybody of course. Everything is depicted in the intention to receive.
S. Let's depict to ourselves that we did succeed Amalek.
R. We feel Creator above everything that happens in the connection between us, the connection between new starts to swell up in different measures higher and higher until you discover that all souls are included in that same 10 and that same 10 becomes the main 10 in reality. You are included in Rabbi Shimon’s 10 on the way and so on.
S. We are now going out for the day. Let's say now that we wish ourselves that we are going to go out and beat Amalek. We are going to go out of the lesson. We are constantly feeling the 10 what happens?
R. You are going with your 10 any place you are throughout the day and wherever you go and you don't want to separate from them and constantly raise MAN raise, so you are constantly raise MAN. MAN is a request for connection. It's a plea for spiritual ascent and the
Spiritual ascent takes place only according to the measure of connection between you. You are constantly raising MAN that you are constantly in spiritual work because spiritual work is called raise MAN.
S. All that's bothering me Amalek?
R. Yes and we need to locate that Amalek has to be here in something in order to aim us in a better way towards the Creator. After that we will reach different states that it's not only Amalek in a revealed way, but that it is working in the temple, in the structure of the soul that gets a form which is more or less closed off and we continue to Gmar Tikun the end of correction.
S. The Creator will give us such a gift?
R. That is the sacred work and what we need to do as the Creator is expecting this from us and for all the people in the world that participate in this. These are things that have to happen here in our senses, in our understanding, in our feelings, and everything that fills us in everything. In all of the desires it has to be revealed.
S. For this to happen what do we need to do for us to all last together to be in this?
R. Each one in his 10 supports from one 10 to the other.
S. Is that a deficiency that is scrutinized correctly?
R. Yes.
44. S. (02:23:31) It is written that Amalek was very cunning. In what way was it cunning? Because it seems like a positive quality.
R. Amalek is wise and very cunning or sneaky because he has all of the wisdom, everything there is an order to bestow he has in order to receive. This is why only adhesion to the Creator isn't in Amalek, but the rest, yes.
45. S. (02:24:24) Is the struggle with Amalek a struggle for the inner force in order to pray for the friends and if so what can we do in order to protect the force of our prayer within the 10?
R. The formula is simple and it is written everywhere just connect between us and turn to the Creator.
46. S. (02:25:20) What is to isolate the intention in order to receive? How do you isolate an intention?
R. That you scrutinize that in all of your intentions. That all and all you are all the intention to receive and then according to the magnitude that you have scrutinized it, to that extent you ask for correction, that you don't want to remain in that way, that you live in your intention.
Excerpt 19 (02:26:15 - 02:27:45)
47. S. (02:27:58) What does it mean that we need to remember what Amalek is doing to us during the day when we are connecting?
R. We need to remember to constantly reveal it, to put criticism on your intention.
48. S. (02:28:16) You said a person lives within the intention. Can you expand on that? What is the difference between living within the intention to living within a desire?
R. Let's say they bring you to court tomorrow so except for the deed they want to see what your intention was. Let's say a few times I was under the control of people that they put a knife into me but if they were as surgeons, so what's the difference between a surgeon and a killer? His intention, does he want for the benefit of himself or for your benefit. Do you understand the intention changes the essence of the action? In Kabbalah we only learn about the intention to bestow, to do the exact same actions that you are doing one by one from beginning of creation to the end of it on all levels that you can think of but change your intention so the essence of the action will change 180° and that you will become righteous and just instead of being a wicked and a criminal, think about it.
49. S. (02:29:57) In the excerpt he writes, remember what Amalek did to you on the way when you exited Egypt, what is the meaning, why when you exit and not when you were in Egypt?
R. The desire to receive with the will to receive is when one comes to the wisdom of Kabbalah. He can't locate Amalek, but only when he tries to come out of the will to receive then Amalek starts working on him. From Egypt towards receiving the Torah and to the land of Israel, that whole path from the exodus from Egypt to the entrance to Israel with that station in the middle of Mount Sinai, that whole path that man has problems with Amalek, so the intentions on the desire are in order to bestow that is why it’s called Eretz Israel, the land of Israel, Yashar Kel, before that he was in Egypt, he was entirely in order to receive to such an extent that he couldn't recognize that as being bad, only when it comes out of Egypt and reaches Israel from in order to receive to in order to bestow entirely, between those two states here it is in order to receive entirely and here it is entirely in order to bestow. So between them he is in two forces and he needs to recognize one against the other, where the force of the Creator is, where the force of Amalek is and to erase the force of Amalek.
S. If possible what can enable me in this process in the 10 to identify Amalek and not to run away even though this happens to me several times a day? How to hold on myself from running? How to receive this strength from the 10?
R. Specifically from the group you have to take the forces along with the group, to scrutinize them and in this way to advance only in the group, talk about it between you and you will understand how to do it.
50. S. (02:32:51) If Amalek doesn't appear to a person then he has nothing to erase?
R. He has nothing to erase because he didn’t discovered him yet, he was there before you started scrutinizing your ego and all the work is to scrutinize the ego as much as it is separating between us and the Creator, the recognition of the ego that stands there and disturbs us, stopping us that is already Amalek.
51. S. (02:33:52) To erase from our thoughts Amalek, to eradicate it, is this to reveal it? What is the act of erasing it?
R. Your desire when it is against connection that form that is against connection that is called Amalek. So annul that desire instead of it try to activate a desire for bestowing for connection that is called to eradicate Amalek.
