1. Rav’s Introduction: The sorrow of divinity is a very important topic because through that we discover, we reveal, how much we want to reach familiarity with the Creator, adhesion with the Creator, even getting closer to Him, and how much we are united in that, connected in that. Specifically, our sorrow is regarding revealing our inclination, our yearning, and also how can we reach the Creator, how important it is for us. Therefore, the fact that the created beings are discovering sorrow in that they're disconnected from the Creator, and sorrow out of not being connected--which is not the same thing--to the Creator; sorrow in that they're not connected between them, because this is the reason for which they are not connected with the Creator, and sorrow out of the fact that the Creator is regretting it and not that they themselves regret it and feel sorry. There are many degrees here in the sorrow of Divinity that we have to try to incorporate in, to study them, through our feeling. Then, we will see how this topic is close to us. According to the sorrow, accordingly we will reach a state where we will come closer and adhere and incorporate with the Creator himself. Let’s read the excerpts and let’s try to feel them, to live in them.

Excerpt 11 (02:40-03:57) Twice

2. R. (04:18) Here there's a question already: what does it mean that there will be a will? Who’s will? Ours? As it says here, may we merit receiving his light and follow his ways, the Creator's ways, etc. Or rather, that we turn to the Creator, and also to raise Divinity from the dust, all of these actions. It's not only the sorrow, but also the actions. To merit adhesion and the revelation of his godliness to his creations, all of these things, we do them by feeling sorry that we are in the exile, disconnected from the upper force, and therefore, we cannot by ourselves bring ourselves to all of these degrees, which are called walking in the ways of the Creator. So here there's a question. The sorrow, well, that's obvious, but whose desire is this, when it says may there be a desire? Our desire, the Creator's desire, or a common desire between us? This also we have to scrutinize, because all and all, we read that there is a desire in the upper one and this desire determines what it is we want. Then there is our desire, that according to our desire, we pray, as it says here, may there be a desire up above. Then we start connecting in our desires, so that from that state of disconnection, both of us start becoming as partners, so that we want him to return us to a connection, to revelation. So, may there be a desire even though we are talking about our desire, what we are lacking, a desire to adhere to the Creator. Out of that, we should also understand that that same desire, until we awaken it up above, it also influences us in the same manner.

About this it says, “Make your will as his will.” We need to awaken between us a great desire for the Creator, for the revelation of the Creator, for closeness and embrace with him. Out of that, when we turn to Him, we awaken a desire up above. This is what it says in the article Shechina in Exile. Then when we awaken the desire up above, it is a sign that our desire is also correct and it is ready for connection with the Creator. That is, if I am still not connected with the Creator, then I might say that I cannot do anything, if the upper light does not shine on me, a certain upper light that is suitable for connection. That's on one hand. On the other hand, I should also say that my desire is insufficient to awaken his desire. The Creator awakens our desire to some extent, and he wants us to awaken him. This is why he is considered for us hiding God, that He wants us to chase after Him, to court Him. In all of these things, it says, Baal HaSulam explains to us, that it is like a gazelle. That when it runs away from a person, when it wants to run away, it keeps turning its face backwards. Constantly looking back for where this one who is chasing after it, this person.

That's how it is with the Creator or Shechina. They are also called that they are like a gazelle. When a person already awakens towards this approach, towards closeness to the Creator, it is evident that the Creator, as it says, I am first, then we have to realize that it's not that we are awakening, but rather, the Creator has awakened before us. If we regret that we are not yet connected with Him, then he regrets even before us and even more, several times over, since His stature is several times greater than our broken individual stature. So, all in all, we should always pray: may there be a desire that we will receive the light of the Creator, and follow the ways of the Creator, and serve Him not in order to receive a reward but in order to give contentment to the Creator and raise Shechina from the dust--meaning the whole of the souls, that they will awaken towards the Creator; and may we all be rewarded with Dvekut with the Creator, as the revelation his Godliness to His creations. Eventually, we want the Creator to be revealed in all of the souls, according to how connected they are, because by that, he will get pleasure from us. This is called giving contentment to one's maker.

3. S. (10:55) Please explain the difference between these terms Divinity in the dust and Divinity in Exile?

R. Even according to how it sounds, it's a great difference. Shechina in Exile means it's in Exile from us. That we cannot feel the entire general vessel of all of the souls, we don't feel the connection between all of the souls, but rather, to the contrary, that they're all separated, far away from each other, not connected between. Therefore, we cannot place before the Creator there... they cannot place their common vessel before the Creator. That's on the one hand. This is Shechina in Exile. Shechina in the dust is when we speak about how much we appreciate the Shechina and its status that it is in the dust, because this is how the individual vessels that include the Shechina, this is how they value, they feel their state, that it is like dust. Dust is something that is special in the world because it is on the lowest degree, on the lowest level. Since also that it cannot become ignited, it cannot ignite; it is not worth anything, not ready for anything; it is the very last degree of matter, its lowest form. That is the dust. This is why the connection between us needs to be in the same intensity and power, with the same inclination, on the same height of bestowal and love, as the quality of dust. It means that it has no relation to connection, no inclination towards connection, no congruence, even the smallest one, with the Creator. This is called Shechina in the dust.

4. S. (13:48) During the day when I work with the friends, I manage to think of them and to do the work in the 10, but in my daily life it’s difficult for me to think about the Creator and the friends. The question is, how can we understand through our nature what it means to be in adhesion with the Creator and to make it our aim throughout our entire life, even when I'm with the friends and even when I'm in my corporeal life?

R. You need to try to be with the friends no matter what physical state you are in, so that this imaginary world--this is how our world is called--will not be a partition between you. These images that you see before you in this world, they will not distance you, but rather, you will feel that you are together in a single desire, and this desire is aimed towards the upper force, and the upper force and you are truly close to each other, adjacent to each other, so that you are towards Him. As much as you are connected, as much as you belong to Him, accordingly, He can open Himself up towards you. If you are still not capable of this, then He awakens in you all kinds of awakenings that sometimes seem to us as problems in order for you to pay attention to the inner spiritual state that you are in. This is how He is advancing us. The Creator is constantly concerned only about that.

4. S. (15:55) How to come to love of friends, love to Divinity, and to the Creator, until I would want to delight the Creator more than I would to delight myself?

R. By what we are talking about. Through these actions, we reach a state where the upper light, the Creator, shines on us. He awakens us. As much as we try, He awakens us even more. It's like a child with his mother, let's say. As much as he wants to do something, she helps him. Sometimes her help is in that she actually doesn't give him, so that he himself will make an effort and he will get something, take something, grab something...We are talking about a baby even. This is how...this is the Creator's attitude towards us, but towards us, it means towards the 10, because if it's less than a 10, there is no such unit, no measurement, in spirituality. Spirituality is built only on connection between the broken parts from our side. From the Creator side, it is a single force, a single light, that is filling up the whole of reality. To the extent that we can relate ourselves, equalize ourselves, with that quality of the single force, accordingly, we are drawn to him. we get closer to Him, we awaken from Him an action on us. It all depends on the degree of connection between us. A single individual can cry out for a thousand years, it won’t do anything. But if a group makes some inner effort between them, already this awakens up above a certain awakening and it can feel some response, until the awakening from below--called MAN--and the awakening from above-- called MAD--, will truly be adjacent to each other, close to each other. They will determine each other. It all depends on how much we are approaching seriously, through our connection, approaching the Creator.

5. S. (18:40) When we ask together with the friends, how inside this request can we come to a state where we don't ask as one for all, but rather we transfer our focus to the 10 and then to the Creator. How does it happen?

R. The Creator is called Hakolel, the totality. If we aim ourselves to the totality of the group, the 10, it could be 8, it doesn't matter how many people we have there, but as much as we aim ourselves to the group, according to that, we turn to the Creator. It is impossible to turn to the Creator without a 10. A 10 is this place through which we look at the Creator, we turn to Him. The Creator, when He relates to us, He is precisely in the same way, as we learn in the wisdom of Kabbalah, in the same way that the MAN is raised, in the same way the MAD comes down. This is how we get the response. If indeed we arrange our deficiency correctly towards connection with the Creator through our own connection, then according to that, we already prepare the way through which we can hear his response in return. Then the MAN and the MAD connect; they come following the same line.

S. When we connect together and from our common request, what does it mean that we are incorporated in the Creator and He replies to us in the form of MAD?

R. If the Creator... If you don't relate to the Creator by each one truly annulling his own ego and wishing to incorporate in the general desire of the 10, if you do it, then you will start to feel that this is where the Creator is, that this is where this special force exists, and from there, He is taking care of you.

S. And this will be called MAD, what we feel, this connection?

R. Yes.

S. What does it mean that we bestow to Him? What do we give him?

R. We are giving the Creator our connection so that He will bestow to us, impart to us. This is the pleasure that He feels, the force of bestowal; this is the upper force, the Creator, the force of giving, of bestowal. This is why if we prepare our vessel according to how much we are capable of it, according to the conditions that He is giving us, then it is considered that we are preparing for Him the Shechina, the place for the revelation of the Creator. And he has no other pleasure besides giving.

6. S. (22:30) Tell us can the prayer of the 10 raise Divinity from the dust?

R. The Divinity is the connection between us. this vessel, it can be broken, it can be corrected, and it can be in all kinds of different states from shattering to correction. 125 degrees is what we have from shattering to correction. The correction is done by us awakening the 10 for Him to perform the corrections. I only need to prepare my lack for it in order for the Creator to correct, this is called the Lord will finish it for me. I'm creating 10x + by this week becoming partners “I for my beloved and my beloved for me” to the extent that we asked the Creator that He will correct the connection between us and we'll fill this vessel that he puts together out of us. To that extent we give him contentment. So here or there is a question: do we connect in order to run away from the problems in the troubles or in order to give him contentment? Because we are asking him to connect us and fulfill us. To the extent that I am in order to bestow and then I am asking of Him to connect between us and fill us. That I'm not asking for it for my own pleasure well maybe for the friends I might say to some extent I begin with that we need to shift the reason for our request to our prayer that the Creator will connect us and fill us. It is all in order to give him and its sentiment this is called to raise the Divinity from the dust.

If I and the friends are still in such a state where were crying out for ourselves, then we are in the dust. and we are crying out that we don't want to be in such a state but it's not that we are not selling, we don't want to raise our deficiency to the Creator but rather in this state that we are in we want to receive fulfillment not to rise spiritually rise up. That is the problem that here we need to scrutinize: what is it precisely that we are asking for, why do we connect, why, what, are we turning to the Creator for? If we are doing that to some extent in order to bestow contentment to him from him to enjoy from us then we are arising from the corporeal level to the spiritual level and we're not like babies or human beings or everyone on this world. We are crying out and are concerned only one, each one with ourselves, maybe hardly for others, for the friend, I'm not even talking about the whole of humanity and certainly it's not for the Creator. Here we need to really have a very serious examination and to live in it. in that examination. This means that I have to constantly actually be in this diagnosis of how much through the friends do I want to bestow to the Creator all in all and all the other concerns seemingly do not exist in me. These things should not be felt towards others; we don't have to perform any real actions here even though that is worthwhile doing. Actually, it is something that is not visible and cannot be felt. I never felt it on Rabash. However, I couldn't see it on Rabash that he's performing external actions, sometimes you could see and feel how happy he was when he had such an opportunity however the most important is that spiritual internal inclination.

7. S. (28:12) How to tie ourselves to the 10 and not let ourselves escape from the work when new layers of coarseness appear, when corporeality is felt more important than spirituality?

R. Well, we all understand that it happens to all of us and our work is in that. What we have to do here is whatever Rabash writes. ‘Each shall help his friend, perform all kinds of actions, first coercively and then willingly. We have to go over all of his Social Articles where he talks about it and try to see, there. And there are many things inside but he is talking about it as though it is along the way. We need to extract from there all of his pieces of advice that are hidden, concealed within these sentences, even words, and try to use them.

8. S. (29:39) What is the Divinity for the nations of the world because many times when we try to connect with the friends, there are various obstacles that stand in the way of connection. But sometimes these obstacles are external problems that come from various external vessels. What is this time of Corona when everyone is in crisis, governments trying to speak to all the citizens? How do we work with these distractions around us?

R. You're right that the situation is changing drastically in the world, and we will feel more and more how much governments and people and various organizations cannot find any way to correctly work with peoples, with the audience, the public. It will be revealed more and more that the need for the wisdom of Kabbalah, for the method of connection between us and connection with the Creator. What can we do? The Divinity means only those souls, those desires -- a soul is a desire however it is a desire that is aimed towards the Creator. This is why those souls that have awakened towards the Creator, they are called Shechina. And in them, the Creator already begins to be revealed according to how much they try to awaken themselves towards a connection with the Creator.

Eventually of course, everyone needs to connect, each one according to his degree. Don't think that the souls that come later, following us, are smaller souls, no. They awaken from the lighter to the heavier, just like in every correction that we perform, at first there are the light corrections and then those light corrections help us to perform the greater corrections that are more complex. Therefore, all of these souls that need to rise, following us, are heavier souls, they are more important. The souls that are awakening right now, which are called the Souls of Israel, Yashar El, that they have an inclination towards the Creator, right now. These souls are not so difficult, not so high relative to those that will rise following us.

This is how it is generation after generation. It has a greater desire and accordingly the ability to be wiser, inventing more things, etc. This is why, following us will come more and more, now through the pandemic and all the things they were going through, and ahead of us there are still quite a few more exercises that the Creator will do in order to awaken us towards the understanding of how we need to come closer to spirituality. I'm not talking about us but rather about those people how, in general, as we say are on the street, in the world. They don't yet know where they should be directed and who is awakening them and if what is the purpose of their life, etc. We will see to what extent He is working on our entire generation in order to aim our generation to a state where all of us will attain a deficiency for coming closer, connecting and coming closer to him.

This is what we have to disseminate. This is also what the whole world needs to feel. It is not about the corporeal success or all of this nonsense with which we used to fill our lives. This is not what is important. Rather, the Creator starts shining for us more deeply into our matter, into our darkness. Then we start to see what other desires we have inside of us, that we were not even thinking about, about filling them, arranging them. This is why we will feel more things, we will discover it. What’s most important and what we have to do for us is clear work. We just have to be drawn toward connection, and between us discover the force of ‘there is none else besides Him’, one unique and unified, that's it. But the nations of the world, all the souls, all the people who are not related to the inclination to discover the Creator but rather it has to go through stages. They will discover how much they are lacking the essence of life. It is through those blows, these degrees of Darkness that will be revealed.

8. S. (36:37) What efforts does a 10 need to make in order to feel the sorrow of the Shechina?

R. The 10 itself needs to make itself into Shechina. The Shechina is the collection of desires that one brings together to create this web of connection where the Creator can reveal Himself, this is called Shechina and the Creator is called Shochen, the one that dwells inside the Shechina. So, if there are 10 people who are willing, each one, to give up their personal inclination, personal desires, and are willing to only work on the connection with the friends in order -- and this is the main point -- in order to discover between them the force of ‘there is none else besides Him,’ the force of bestowal. If they have a desire to do so they assemble the common desire, this web between them, and this web is called Shechina. We spoke about it yesterday in the lesson that inside this web, this network, we can feel how the upper light is revealed there, the presence of the upper force. It’s called upper because He is the first, He precedes us, He manages us. And this whole process we have to go through, it is all called ‘the revelation of the Creator to the creature.’

9. S. (38:54) How can we check that we are bestowing through the friends to the Creator?

R. I don't run away from my obligation to assemble the Shechina but I feel, I tried to feel how much this Shechina exists. Also, now but it is broken, it is lying in the dust. It wants to be in a Zivug, coupling, a connection with the Creator but it cannot because we are individual parts, we make her up, we don't let her be in the desire to receive the dweller. Hence our work in the 10 has to be such that we wish to connect between us in order to reveal the Creator, all of us together, so that in this way we are giving contentment to the Creator. Even more than that, that we are giving contentment to the Shechina. By that, we awaken all the broken souls. We awaken them to want to connect, to discover the sorrow of Divinity.

10. S. (40:52) I would like to know what is special in a soul that is heavier, that has more heaviness? How can we help such a soul in our work?

R. We find ourselves as individual parts of our individual soul which is part of a small part of the general soul of Adam, Adam HaRishon. Consequently, each one can work only according to the degree of sorrow. And the degree to which he feels sorry, he can express his sorrow towards the friends. How much he can connect with others and pass to them, transmit to them this common sorrow. Then we can begin to demand from the Creator to correct our state. Not because we feel ourselves in a state of sorrow but rather our state of sorrow is because we wish to be connected and to merit His revelation in us, and not so that we will feel and reveal Him but so that He will enjoy this. You understand how many conditions are here. We would not get to the revelation of the Creator unless we aim our sorrow from not revealing Him exactly towards bestowal, not towards ourselves. Meaning I restrict myself and when I restrict myself, I rise above myself, I turn my coarseness which was felt as my own personal sorrow, my burden, and I turn it toward the Creator. Then my coarseness becomes my purity. In this purity we call restriction, reflected light, the Creator can reveal Himself. Then He will be revealed in what I have prepared for him. In this way, we build the spiritual Partzuf from all of us.

11. S. (44:31) Can a complete 10 awaken a sleeping soul?

R. This is our role to awaken ourselves, our desire for the Creator. For the Creator, I'd like to emphasize, highlight that, no other desire, our desire to the Creator. How do we change that? We clean it, we organize it, we put together all of our desires so they will be aimed at Him because we want Him to appear in us because by that we wish to be the place for His revelation and to delight Him in that. This is the corrected Nukva, or Shechina, Malchut, call it Nukva. She is corrected because she wishes to make room inside of her to the male, to the Creator to fill her, enjoy her, to delight in her.

12. S. (46:22) You just explained in what way the Aviut becomes Zakut. The coarseness becomes Purity. But in truth, I didn't understand. How does it happen?

R. I can explain how it happens only through the influence of the upper light, this is called ‘the reforming light.’ When from our egoistic desires if we begin, if we try to connect between us, even two desires, intentions, states that are egoistic. Nevertheless, if we wish to connect, we already begin to express each one, over his selfishness. It turns out that we are -- when we come to connect and each one enters the other, bestows to the other, influences the other, each one opens up the other -- we gradually begin to be connected inside. These connections are partly egoistic, but in part here and there, they begin to express themselves in this inclination towards one another, concession towards one another, this mutual desire. You gradually come to such desires and thoughts that we’re unaware of them, it affects us in this way to such an extent that it raises us to a form called connection. That's the main thing. If we will be in the lowest level of connection but in connection nonetheless, we made concessions in our egos each one of us in order to be connected between us, then we have the restriction, the screen, the connection, and then in this way we come closer to the Creator, very egotistically for the time being, very simply, from this world. But nevertheless, those are spiritual actions, the head of spirituality and that's how it works. We have to continue doing it.

13. S. (49:32) What's the difference between revelation of the Creator and revelation of the Divinity in the 10?

R. Shechina is the common desire between you. You wish to connect your desires in such a way that this common desire will be suitable for the Creator. Where you wish to show Him with this desire how much you care about Him, that He will be revealed in this desire, enjoy in this desire, that it’s all done for Him. This is called Divinity. The Creator accordingly can be revealed in her and this is what we call Zivug, mating of the Creator with Shechina, which is what we have to aspire to. Then we increase the intensity of Shechina, how great it is, how powerful it will be in the connections, inside of her it will always be made up of the desires that are strange, foreign, cruel desires. More and more desires will appear in us that we won't be able to stand one another like the students of Rabbi Shimon they wanted to kill one another and each time we will reach the sorrow of Divinity: who are we, what about us, in such opposition to the Creator. From that we will activate our prayers in various means until we reach, begin to reach such connection, it awakens in us, spreads through us, fills us. This is called ‘the revelation of the Creator to the creature.’

Excerpt 12 (52:36 - 55:08) x2

14. R. But, at least for us, it doesn't matter what form the general individual as long as we feel this sorrow that we can't, I cannot make room for the Creator to reveal Himself to feel pleasure from it. Meaning as much as I can appreciate the upper force is more important than myself, than my ego. As much as I can raise it and my concern for it is greater than my concern for myself then I'm sorry that I can't make room for Him to be revealed, to enjoy the created beings, myself. It's me, it's my work, I need to feel myself as a representative of all created beings and it's the same for every one of us. Each one of us has a special connection with the Creator that no one can replace. No one can replace Him in that connection, each one has his own root of his soul to which is unique. Hence, we have to think, in what can I give contentment to the Creator? In what way can I connect the created beings to the Creator through me? First through the 10 and from the 10 to the entire Divinity. Let Him be revealed in every want and enjoy Himself. So here is our work. No one can take or do something in place of another, rather each and every one, as he writes, ‘he causes the sorrow of Divinity and accordingly, he can reach the joy of Divinity.

15. S. (57:35) In what way does the suffering of the Shechina manifest in the 10?

R. The sorrow of Shechina, how it’s expressed, manifested in the 10? When the 10 tries to discover its broken state, less than whole, not because they necessarily feel bad but because they don't let the Creator appear and enjoy, receive pleasure from them. The creatures, here, relative to the Creator are like the female relative to the male. Where an entire aim is to give contentment to the Creator, to give Him room to appear in us. We are the Shechina. But the state of our manliness is in order to overcome our desires and become a vessel suitable for the Creator to be in us.

16. S. (59:00) How can we return to the Creator in a pure way with such a shattered soul?

R. By trying to do it together. Each one of us is broken and none of us has something you can say that belongs to spirituality. But when we try, in spite of our corrupt state, to connect between us in order to reach certain spiritual degrees, by that we create a very special state. And be proud of it, we didn’t create the shattering, rather it was all prepared for us so we would feel the difference between this contrast, between Darkness and Light, between the presence of the Creator in our world and His absence. That's why we need to try in the direction of connection until we reach its full intensity when the Creator will be revealed in the connection, this is our work, that's why it's called ‘from the love of the created beings to the love of the Creator.’

17. S. (01:00:42) How does a person or the 10 measure that the Creator brings them closer? It's not according to the feeling of good and bad in my vessels? In the excerpt he talks about being sorry, regretting that the Creator doesn't draw him near or that one is not close to the Creator. How do you measure the closeness to the Creator if it is not felt in the vessels of reception? How is that felt, how do you measure it?

R. There is an illumination from above that shines to a person and a person accordingly begins to feel how close he is to others or distant from them. Let's say babies, little kids who play together. They have no feeling of being close or distant, friends or not, each one thinks of himself only. As they grow up, they begin to consider the others because they begin to feel the pleasure from the game depends on how much they understand one another, they work together, they collaborate. The same thing is for us. We have to come to a state where from our corporeal closeness we are moving closer to spiritual feeling. Where if we begin from our attitude to go to a more internal state. The bodies are inner desires not in the bodies but in our inner desires are connected so we begin to feel right away the upper force which is the Connector.

S. Why should we want the Creator to be revealed to the created beings? What motivates this desire?

R. Our desire to give Him contentment. His desire to do good to His creatures. I wish to fulfill this desire. How do I do it? By giving Him an opportunity to do good to His creatures. That He would fill the vessel of the creatures with His presence, this is the meaning of fulfilling them because He is entirely a desire to bestow and he can fill their vessels in the best possible way. This is what we call ‘giving Him contentment. To give the Creator the ability to bestow, this means that you are doing a favor to Him.

18. S. (01:04:04) To awaken the Creator, do we each time need to ask for the next state according to what we received or do we first have to pray for a connection and bestowal?

R. First we have to activate a deficiency for connection. When this deficiency for a connection comes from our desire to give contentment to the Creator -- otherwise the deficiency for connection would be a result of a desire to form a gang of thugs or something, to have more power of our own -- no, we connect between us our desires to bestow of each and every one. As much as it exists in everyone, 1 gram of the desire to bestow to the Creator, let us extract this 1 grand from each and every friend and connect them together. These 10 grams will be important and what's more, it will be from everyone in the connection between us. Then this vessel that's composed of these tiny deficiencies, scrutinized but we try to have it aimed at the Creator, and it's enough for you to give contentment to Creator who begins to work on it. Bring Him, offer Him this deficiency made up of all other deficiencies since you seemingly wish to give Him room as if you're doing it in order to bestow. Everything is making believe but start making efforts in that direction and you will see how much you begin to feel from Him, immediately, those reactions, guidance, direction, how He begins to walk with you and play with you and teach you. The way you play with a baby, ‘take this, do that, this way and that way.’ You'll see how much He's going to take care of you. Just try to be in those actions we just discussed.

19. S. (01:06:50) How can a person be sorry for the Shechina being in exile? What prevents a person from bestowing in the vessel? Is it he, himself or is it the Creator doing it?

R. I don't know what it means that a person bestows through his own vessels, a person bestows to the Creator through his vessels when he assembles them from the friends in the group. If they can connect between them, meaning each one makes concessions on his ego in order to be connected to others, to that same extent so if I give up my ego, I cancel it. Then I am connected to the friends and we all do it together. There is this common area between us where each one of us made concessions on himself and is connected with others. This common area between us is already called the Shechina, the place that is designated for the revelation of the Creator. Since there is a restriction, here, where we don't wish to use things in order to receive for our own sake, and our screen when I want to rise above my ego and the reflected light when I wish to be connected with the friends. Although they're not spiritual discernments but something like that, just like kids playing with toys. Playing with cars, they build houses as if it's the real thing. We do the same thing in the group. And from that, we seemingly assemble the Shechina and the Creator participates in this with us we feel it or maybe we don't feel it yet, but then you come to a state where there is truly a common force between us, a common desire and He appears in that desire.

S. I'm asking about the point of sorrow. Where's the point that you need to be sorrowful? That it depends on a person and everything you discuss?

R. Sorrow is that we start from it. We are causing sorrow in Shechina because we cannot give her a place to reveal herself. We wish to build a place for the revelation of the Creator but this place is still not built. Consequently, we feel that we give sorrow to the Creator.

S. There's a point where you feel that this is how the Creator wants you to work and that you won't be able?

R. No, the Creator wants you to feel how much you are unprepared in your current state to form connections. If you would be able to connect, you wouldn't feel sorry. If you were unable to connect, you also would not feel any sorrow but if you are capable of doing it and still not doing it, this brings you sorrow.

20. S. (01:10:25) There's a feeling that the sorrow of Shechina in Exile is kind of a deficiency and how do we maintain these deficiencies or how do we work with it?

R. I can't answer such questions, I'm sorry because they are full of conditions and you would not understand me properly or you'll begin to use it in the end to correct states to incorrect states so this has to be clear to you from experience.

21. S. (01:11:30) What are the concessions we have to make for our connections in the 10?

R. In order for you to have a common desire between you to be so to the Creator those are the concessions that you need to make. So that you will have a common desire to bestow to the Creator. Try to compose, compile such a desire.

22. S. (01:12:18) Does there have to be a transition and every degree from the 10 to the Creator do they need to merge between them?

R. Yes, correct, exactly.

S. What does it mean to bring contentment in that transition?

R. When you wish to go from personal sorrow to group sorrow from group sorrow to sorrow of the Creator and there to upper degrees. You do all of it by raising contentment to the Creator and to the extent to which you feel sorry about things that belong more to bestowal.

S. So the beginning of this work is to unite with his sorrow, I don't understand where to go from there.

R. Make your desire as his desire that's it.

23. S. (01:13:44) I hope you are enjoying it overseas.

R. I don't necessarily feel abroad, as during the pandemic if I am in my building or I am in some deserted house here at the edge of an island, it doesn't make any difference to me.

S. I remember you told us that Rabash would open the radio every hour to hear the news that he cared about, what happened with the soldiers and so on.

R. That was during the Lebanon War.

S. You said that he was sorry about what happened in the world and wanted to ask about the disaster that happened during Lag B’Omer.

R. I don't want to talk about it. I'm sorry for what happened and I'm even more sorry that you asked about it during the lesson. I do not want to hear it because you are an expert in asking things that are out of context, out of spiritual elation.

Excerpt 13 (01:15:27 - 01:16:40)

24. R. Since man is but a single organ of the Shechina because the Shechina is the common soul where all of our souls are there together in their connection, they crystalize the term called Divinity because Divinity is the general of the cells, for the sensation of a single organ, is not like the sensation of the general pain. Let's say the Creator feels the suffering because the created beings feel sorrow and he suffers so much more because he has a desire to bestow compared to the sorrow that they feel in their will to receive. Meaning there is sorrow of the Divinity because the organs are removed from her and she cannot nurture her organs, cannot fill them. By thinking, when a person thinks that the sorrow of separation is not for himself but rather of the Creator and the collective, he is saved from falling into the will to receive itself which is considered separation from Kedusha, meaning what we need to try to do is to continually hold ourselves in the thought of the group of humanity as a whole. Divinity as a whole, not himself, this will keep us in spirituality, in a state that is higher than our individual egoistic desires.

25. S. (01:18:47) Who causes the sorrow of the Shechina?

R. Who, of course the Creator and we don't ask about it as it is clear, he created the one soul, the one vessel, who shattered this vessel, is there anyone else but Him who is doing everything? We need only to raise the MAN for correction.

S. The Creator causes the sorrow of the Divinity and I have to correct it?

R. By asking for connection between all of the broken souls, why did the Creator prepare this great calamity for us? Only from this darkness do we discover the meaning of the connection and of the light. Spirituality like any state cannot only be revealed except from its opposite state as it has no opposite choice but to create a broken state and all of us are broken and from that we can reveal the wholeness and feel the whole mess.

S. It's too much for me, all of the souls, I can take care of my 10.

R. Very well you don't need more.

S. If I try at least to correct everything in my 10 is basically enough to prevent the sorrow of Divinity?

R. In order to prevent the sorrow of Divinity, we have to discover the sorrow of Divinity,

S. So this is the point, I know how to take care of my 10, how to discover the sorrow of the Shechina in the 10?

R. The 10 that will be connected and corrected that will feel the Creator filling it, this will be the corrected Divinity, beautiful and full and if you discover or reveal form this is called the sorrow of Divinity. You look at your group as much as this group can be states that are more advanced, better states from sorrow, from looking at them ask yourself what you are feeling sorry for. Either you feel sorry for how miserable they feel or to the contrary that they can be in the sorrow of Divinity because he lacks the ability to give contentment to the Creator, that the Creator would be revealed so that you would feel contentment from it not that they would feel good according to their deficiency. This Shechina for the time being is only an egoistic desire, that the upper light comes and fills us, the true sorrow of Divinity is when I feel sorry that on top of this egoistic sorrow that I am lacking the sorrow of wanting to bestow to the Creator.

S. The Divinity is basically the vessel of the 10 and I need to fill it or the Creator?

R. To create a vessel, meaning to reveal the sorrow, when a vessel is not connected enough that you can’t present to the Creator to fill the vessel and to enjoy it.

S. What do I need to do?

R. You need to connect as much as possible in your desires and your inclinations and then you will discover how much you are unable to want it, to turn to the Creator with your request and he will connect you and you will feel according to the intensity that the Creator is in that connection in the revelation.

S. The Creator is basically the sorrow of Divinity and will correct it?

R. Yes but according to your invitation you need to reach that invitation.

Excerpt 14 (01:24:49-01:27:15) twice

26. R. There is nothing new here except the person needs to constantly chase the ever-changing states, the Creator is your shadow, He's doing the actions and He is asking a person to follow these actions and as we teach little kids, we make an action in their place and we want them to repeat it, we do something and we want them to pay attention to what we have done. This is what this work is about.

27. S. (01:28:02) Please explain to the one who knows the mysteries and knows what's in man's heart can come to interruption what is that?

R. The Creator dwells and rules and everything, feeling everything, that's why you cannot apply it to Him, He knows which states we are in and all of the states that we are going through. He is preparing them so we become independent. Towards the end of correction which means that we disconnect completely from the Creator, from His clothes treatment and we can activate ourselves independently, that it seems to us that we are independent as if the Creator did not create us completely independent and then this gives Him contentment because although we are independent, we exist while you are operated on. This is the meaning of the Creator seemingly giving you the scepter of permission to activate all of creation.

28. S. (01:24:49) If there is no sorrow of Divinity nevertheless or if it is a weak feeling what does it mean that we are missing, how do you strengthen that?

R. Think about it, talk about it, awaken it in all sorts of forms it is the upper lights at operates upon us that is clear, we need to believe that that is as the Kabbalist tell us it is true but the fact is if it operates on us we also need to make an effort from ourselves to awaken ourselves even if it is not correct, not true but as if you are awakening the light that reforms that opens up for you the desires, the thoughts, the new qualities.

29. S. (01:31:18) Does the extent of the Divinity and the 10 depend on the extent of the Divinity in the Exile?

R. Yes, of course instead of that great darkness that we feel in Exile then we can reach afterwards to the intensity of light that feels the darkness, one against the other.

30. S. (01:32:09) The 10 will become Divinity, does it need to feel sorrow? When a friend is weakened in the 10 and can't invest in the connection, how is this to be expressed from the attitude of the 10 to the weaken parts?

R. The sorrow of divinity is that they want to connect but they are not capable of it for all sorts of reasons and if we have sorrow for this, we can't connect in order to give room for the Creator a place to be revealed because in this we can give him content not to ourselves then it is called the sorrow of divinity.

31. S. (01:33:11) It's written at the end of the text in a way that will never return. What does that mean?

R. no translation

32. S. (01:33:36) From the state of chaos the Creator shows you if you ask for the friends, you feel like you're going to disconnect from yourselves, bestow to them bestow to the Creator then the Creator shows you that everything is fine, everything is wonderful. How do we not fall from this? How to remain in the state of bestowal?

R. I can't tell you. This already says that you are saying that you can't go in one line you want to be in two lines `od that this is occurring and you are in sorrow of this are not? Are you not in sorrow or in sorrow that you don't have the opportunity to bestow to the Creator, this is the matter that you enjoy from this that you have the longing for the Creator? Love is measured not when we love, but rather when we can show the love during the yearning, that if we long to be together and are incapable for some reason then according to this sorrow we can say that we are in the tendency to love one another. In the time where there is a connection with the Creator then it is as if the love disappears. We see this in our life, that you had a great desire, a deficiency and now you have filled it and what do you have, everything disappears and even life, but in spirituality, no? Why is spirituality called internality? Because in this way you feel in such a manner that your desire on the intent to bestow then you are not being filled because you want to feel the others by your desire. It turns out that you are feeling them and you are not being filled and then spirituality is truly appearing as internality, nothing ends. As much as you feel the others you enjoy this doubly so because as much as you had a lock with in this lack you are being filled, this full film it is called returning light, reflected light and it does not end but rather when a greater light comes from love then it turns off the that you have now, the vessel refines, the screen refine and then it turns out you have an opportunity to go to pleasure to bestow, to love with greater pleasure and you're always found in this overcoming, this increasing pleasure and this is called the internality that you have in spirituality. You don't have such a thing in our world because it is entirely egoistic. We are ending all of our egoistic development in our world, these days I don't think anyone thinks that you can actually read absolute love in our will to receive, that death shall not separate between us. It is clear that all of these things entirely do not exist and humanity is turning off from it. People want to help one another to receive some beastly pleasure and that is it, that love as if some spiritual fulfillment doesn't exist. We understand this and soon it will be clear to everyone including the young generation.

S. How in such a state of perfection to add vessels, you say that this screen rises and can bestow more?

R. No, nothing ends because we are constantly working on the increasing connection so we have a vessel from within the connection, do you understand why the Creator broke the vessel? But we need to at least start connecting in 10s and it as much as we connect each time, we have the opportunity to make the puzzle, the connections between us of all sorts in the 10s, in new forms. It's time you reveal a more complex vessel for the Creator and all sorts of new forms, like in a mosaic and you reveal him each time in a new manner. hat is each day we have a new Creator because it is from the words come and see, each time you work on the renewal it is over coming into connection more and more.

S. How to work each time so you won't throw me but that I would join new vessels each time?

R. Only by this that you more and more connect with the friends, that you have no other means, all the time to be in a state that you are more and more entering them and want to reveal in them their internal tendencies to the same goal. Besides this everyone is a beast and this is not important to me but through connection to the Creator this is what I need to collect from each one and also each one of them also. This is what we present to the Creator, this is what he works with and for him that is pleasure that we are requesting for him to connect, to fill and to progress and advance us.

S. How can you file as the result of the increasing impression, why is it possible to fall as a result of sealing the sorrow from the impressions?

R. That depends upon how much correct I received the suffering. That if I have the suffering and I transfer them to my internal sensation that I am trying to check of course I will fall but I feel them with respect to the entire 10 and I feel how much we can progress by that then I will never fall. I will never fall because I will immediately feel the suffering, even my own private ones as they come so that I will even more connect with the society that it turns out from this I am raising our entire vessel, Kli, I am giving the opportunity to correct and fill to advance to connect us the vessel more with the connection between us.

S. If I feel the sorrow inside of me, I fall but if I feel the Divinity in the 10, I rise?

R. Correct, very true. Is forbidden for us to feel something private or individual but only with respect to the 10.

33. S. (01:44:00) Sometimes it seems like we are moving backwards more than advancing in the work comes from my pleasure to be with the friends and I can't manage to give them something, how do I work with that as it causes me to feel bad and a shame sometimes?

R. You are measuring your progress incorrectly, with respect to what are you measuring yourself, what is your scale or your ruler? The distance to the connection, the distance to the Creator, the distance to your heart, the distance to your stomach, with respect to what you are measuring, check precisely. You will also see that darkness is one of the elements, the components of progress, of advancement and even to begin with you need to believe in what is written that we are rising in sanctity and not descending. Meaning if you are in our organization in some total then you need to believe that you are going forward in your participation, to the extent that you participate you are certainly going forward. You will soon begin to see this also according to our study after these last steps that we are taking, we are ending now with you almost in the final stage of preparation for the study of the wisdom of Kabbalah. That the wisdom of Kabbalah itself is not talking about what we are talking about now, rather it is already talking about the actions that are present in the vessels that are working on themselves and preparing themselves step after step, stage after stage for the connection between them and the lights that fill them and advance them and are revealed in them that is the wisdom of Kabbalah how to receive the revelation of the Creator to the creature in this world. Hope soon we will begin to engage in this.

35. S. (01:46:57) What is the true approach to the yearning of the Divinity?

R. That we are yearning for the Divinity out correct approach is to see that we are advancing towards this, that we are putting it together that we want our desire is our tendencies and our intentions to raise Divinity from the dust, that to begin with we don't want it and afterwards yes, we begin more to understand this is the main thing and that nothing in creation determines anything besides our yearning to reveal divinity, Shechina, to bring this vessel with respect to the upper light. That the entire world begins to change and to be healed from all of its wounds and blemishes.

S. We are suffering and longing when we are away from Divinity but she is also suffering because she is away from us so while both sides are suffering what is the essence that separates us?

R. Correct, it is the sorrow of the Divinity and the one that dwells in it, the sorrow of Divinity the place where we need to reveal the Creator is a broken place from this, we can also think about ourselves, we can think about the Creator that is in sorrow that he can't be revealed with respect to the creatures. From here we have a few directions of thought and scrutiny.

36. S. (01:49:48) Where is the correct place for self when we are sorry about the sorrow of Divinity?

R. What do you mean?

S. I see it is all I care about even when I'm sorry about what the sorrow of Divinity is.

R. The sorrow Divinity is that we can bring closer to her the broken vessels, each and every broken vessels, and the sorrow of each broken vessel is that it still cannot give serve to the Shechina, to be revealed and give pleasure to him as each needs to feel himself responsible, that we are still not in the end of correction, that the vessels that belongs to him are still not in the end of correction, he has still not connected the vessel of Adam HaRishon to the Creator.

37. S. (01:51:17) How for the ten to receive the Shechina in Exile?

R. You need to attain the 10 as Divinity thus in the general desire that if they are connected between them and are revealing a deficiency of bestowal that is not feeling them then it turns into the Shechina in Exile?

R. You need to attain the 10 as Divinity thus in the general desire Shechina as a correct place of the revelation of the Creator.

R. We have finished the topic today and tomorrow we have a new topic we will finish in its entirety. In my eyes it is not any less important than the lesson itself, if you think that maybe this is not so important, I will tell you that the progress by this half an hour can be greater than the 2 hours that we now learned together.
