The Approach to Studying the Wisdom of Kabbalah - Selected Excerpts from the Sources. #14 (00:35)

1.Rav’s Introduction: (01:35) This means that what we need is to check ourselves, how much we don't have the strength to do anything by our own forces and only if we will be able to annul before the Creator we will be able to get forces from him. In that way to advance towards resembling him. That is all of our work is through the light that we get, the force that we get from the Creator then we will reach a state where we'll be able to resemble him. Here, even though we say we don't have any powers however, we need to invest all of our powers in order for us to also find that we have no strength of our own to resemble the Creator, to come closer to him. That's on the one hand, on the other hand, how much we are able nevertheless to resemble him, through a request, a prayer and this is how we will advance.

Reader reads Excerpt 14 again: (03:27)

2. R. (03:44) This means the person should feel that way he has is only his ego,h is evil inclination and there is nothing in him besides that, and all of the difference between the servant of the Creator the one who does not serve him is in that person received an awakening from above, and that he does feel that he is entirely inside of his ego, in the opposite form of the Creator, and he cannot do anything. One who is greater than his friend indeed his inclination is greater and he cannot do anything with his inclination, with his desire but only in the end to invest in the society, and through the society he will get such an influence that it will give him a desire to rise above himself. However, not the ability, then he will cry out to the Creator, he will need him in order to truly receive the reforming light and advance towards adhesion. This is why he writes we engage in the Torah in order to subdue the evil inclination.

This is our whole nature, meaning to achieve adhesion with the Creator so that all our actions will be only in order to bestow. That there's nothing left for the person but he is entirely only in order to bestow from himself outwardly towards the Creator. That is by ourselves we will never be able to go against nature, because the mind and heart that we must acquire, meaning in order for one to work in something that requires all of these forces, he must receive assistance. The assistance is through the Torah it is as our sages said “I have created the evil inclination I have created the Torah as a spice” says the Creator, it is true I have created the inclination but I already created the Torah as a spice so you will have these two opposing forces.

Then from the two of them that they both exist in you, you can be between them between these two forces and constantly, constantly establish yourself in a state of where are you. With the force that you are born with and is managing you each and every moment or with the force that you get from above each and every moment in order to cope with your nature. In that way to rise above it, above your nature to the Creator. So it should be clear to you to what extent you are rising, by engaging in it in the Torah, through all kinds of something that can give us some association with in order to bestow, then the light in it reforms them. He receives and receives more portions of the force of the Creator, the upper light, the force I'm bestowing until it influences us and it starts to control our evil force. This is how we advance.

3. S. (08:11) It says that our main weapon is the prayer, but what corrects is the Torah, what's the connection between the Torah and prayer?

R. Torah is the general light that the Creator founded, established, in order to help us. So that we will be able to control the will to receive that he created. That is on one hand the Creator constantly renews the act of creation, of Genesis, the evil inclination within us constantly awakens all kinds of different forms, and we need to constantly think, search, find and stand in the opposite force from the evil inclination in order to subdue it. Even though it influences us, we influence it in return. This is how it happens, this is what happens to us in this spiritual work. That the Creator created the evil inclination and he changes it and he does all kinds of exercises with us each and every moment. We need to be alert and in that specifically each one can help his friend. That will build such an atmosphere and environment that we truly do not forget even for a single moment that whatever we get, we get it from the Creator and what we get from him is forces, bad forces that just like we engage with children and we want to develop them, so each time we give them, we put under their hands that they'll have all kinds of things that they will have to cope with. Right?

Even the toys that we bring them, seemingly good toys, the toy doesn't express any problem that the child has to solve but nevertheless he has to cope with it and think about how to use it even though he has a natural impulse to play with something. But we gave them as a game, problems each time, disruptions each time, and the child each and every moment has to see how can he use what we bring him. This is how it is with each and everything, this is how it is arranged by nature, we don't want to remain in such a form that we leave the child in a way that he will only enjoy his life, rather for him to advance. In the understanding of life, in the feeling of life.

S. The Torah is always present but it influences something through my prayers, this the way to understand it also?

R. The Torah means the general light that takes care of us, and in it there are all kinds of manners. Mostly the whole purpose of the influence of the Torah is to develop us and to position us, establish us above our ego so that we will be able to understand it. Where does it come from? Why does it work in such a cunning way on us, and so that we will be able to cope with it in a way that is more and more clever each time with understanding, with awareness, with acceptance, to see love in it. The Creator's love towards us in the most difficult and complicated things, where we simply don't see or it's very hard for us to discover concern for us. I can't, in most of my incidents in life, I do not discover the Creator's concern for us. Let's take our ordinary day from morning to night, I cannot say that in all of the moments throughout the day, I truly discover, I feel, I detect, the Creator's discern for me concern for me I have to constantly cope, I have to constantly think about how do I survive, how do I….well it's a problem it's a problem and here we have to understand that all of these things depend on our attitude.

If we discover or we do not forget what the Kabbalist teach us, that all in all we need to see it all of these things the Upper providence which is non-stop, then each and every person even if he doesn't feel any care for him from him from above, he has to search because this care, this tending is certainly present each and every moment while a person is alive, and the Creator created him and established him, and therefore what we need is to only awaken the reforming light and for that there is always a cause, the Creator arranges things such that always, always each and everyone, wants to benefit his life, to improve his life. One has to think about what does it mean to improve my life. It means nevertheless, not to implement what the evil inclination is telling me but the opposite form, meaning against it. How do I advance towards adhesion with the Creator and in that form we advance. This is our whole life, all the things that we need to scrutinize.

4. S. (16:14) What is the meaning that the Creator has to rule over us and we have to subdue our evil inclination?

R. The Creator created the opposite force to himself. Seemingly the negative and bit by bit this force becomes revealed in us more and more, and we upon this negative force need to discover the positive force. The Creator arranges this study for us meaning the revelation of the negative force, the evil inclination, so that we through the spice of Torah will be able to arrange ourselves such that our evil inclination, which the Creator is awakening each inside each and everyone, so that we will be able to invert it to a good inclination and in that there are several works. There are such operations that we can seemingly do by ourselves, that a person does on his own and there are such operations that a person does with the friends, with the environment. There are operations which he already does with the Creator usually the direction is from the love of people to the love of the Creator. This is how it works.

5. S. (18:16) You said that the Torah is the general light that helps to control the will to receive, how do we use the upper light, the Torah in order to correct a desire?

R. Torah is from the word, Ohr, light, however light is seemingly something more technical, a pinpoint and the Torah is the light of the intellect, the light of the emotion, the light that opens up a connection between people meaning it is light in the more emotional form. Therefore this is how we need to use it. Now this is light that comes from the Creator, it is the Creator's influence over a person, it is light that we awaken in the connection between us, in the center of the connection between us. Actually the Torah is everything because the Creator’s influence over the created beings, all of that is called the Torah also. In the Torah that there are many interpretations to it but the Creator's attitude which is detached of the whole of reality, with respect or towards the reality that the Creator created and he sustains and manages that he brings it to the end of correction, the Creator's entire attitude towards the reality that he created is called the Torah. Okay?

S. A bit more precisely, the will to receive appears to us that's revealed, and then we say that there's a force of the Torah that can help me correct it. How do I draw Torah, correct that desire right now and feel that I truly drew that force?

R. If I hear that we need to correct, I need to correct my ego, my nature, which the Creator deliberately on purpose to begin with created in the opposite form to himself, truly established a force which is opposite to himself meaning himself is entirely bestowal, giving, loving and he established a different nature as if there is a bad Creator. That hates and rejects and pushes away excetera. So what do we have to do, it was all given to us in order for us to locate one opposite the other, and therefore we need to understand that all of the moments in our life come to us in the opposite form. I accept that to begin with, I educate myself such that all of life it is always a kind of test by the Creator. That he awakens me with questions each and every moment to turn to him and ask for help. But in order to get the help, I need to prepare the conditions. So that I will get help from him and be able to implement the forces I get from correctly. Therefore here we have to prepare the society, the ten, our attitude to all of these things, the system, the study, the books.

Then in such a way we reach a state where it is worthwhile for the Creator to bestow to us, to shake us and in that way we become as partners. In this partnership with him it's like little children when they're small, we don't demand any special response but the more they grow up, we want to be more and more as partners with them, to play with them in certain games opposite each other, with each other and games that are more clever even more cunning. We want to develop in them, inside of the children to develop systems and this is similar to how the Creator plays with us so that inside of the person there will be such systems. In that way when they develop, we see how much that same attitude of the Creator is created towards us. It's the same of us, towards the children and it's impossible any other way.

6. S. (24:15) To resemble him out of learning his attitude towards us, how to bestow towards him without any dependency on his connection to us.?

R. The Creator has nothing to bestow. The Creator has nothing to bestow, it's like a mother the children, if some child wants to do good to the mother he wants to do good to bestow to the other children. By this for sure he is doing good because the mother doesn't need any direct bestowal from the child. The Creator has no lack. We can only bestow to his one deficiency to do good to his creations and therefore if we arrange our dissemination, our bestowal to the friends, to the world to be a root to everyone the world in such a way that we awaken everyone, and each one a little bit when he awakens general vessel, by this we continue to the Creator for all of us to come closer to each other in practice between us within that, with that intention upon this action, we give contentment to the Creator.

7. S. (25:58) Many times there are states where there's not enough power to overcome even if it's in small actions. What's the benefit of such states and how to work correctly with them?

R. I remember this moment of how I was impressed by it when Rabbash said,"well, now you're a little rag like me". This was very sudden and on the other hand it may be happy because he said like me but a rag like me. That I actually apparently needed to be happy that I'm a rag because specifically in that form of a rag.I become like him. How can I compare myself to him? He is so much higher than me, on the other end of the ladder. But this is what it is about, that we obtain only one thing, for certain on our path. Our lowliness, lack of strength, our limitation, and we have to realize that these things are necessary in order for us to approach the Creator. Then to ask of him to plead with him like a little child that something doesn't work for him with the toy the way that he cries, yells, he beats up the toy maybe. This is the true behavior that we have to achieve in that we want to resemble the Creator but we cannot. That is that we're not capable of performing any act of bestowal. That's what it means to be a rag.

S. This is our true state? This lowlines, this lack of power?

R. Our true state is zero, absolute zero, besides the evil inclination. As the Creator says as the Creator said I created the evil inclination there is nothing else in us so what can there be? okay? So try to check yourself each and every day to what extent you are in lack of strength, lack of understanding, lack of abilities, nothing nothing nothing and along with that hold yourself with the forces to achieve, to discover, to feel that state. There is always something and its opposite that has to be there. Don't let yourself just flow along. Rather do not forget always that the true discernment includes within it two opposite forms.

Rav says “ it says let it not surprise you so maybe we should read something beforehand”

Item 33 (31:09) “Thus, why did the authors of The Zohar have ….”

8. R. (33:38) This means that really we make no changes in the Creator and in a true form we cannot bestow to him at all. Influence him. But nevertheless we do have a feeling in that certain feeling that we do influence him, we cry out to him, we cry, we ask, and all of this nevertheless reaches him. In that we make some changes in him. This is all deliberately so. This is how he did it so that nevertheless we will have the ability to build inside of us a system that is called Creator, Boreh, come and see ,so that through that internal system that I build inside of me, and this is how I relate to him. By that I gradually nevertheless became similar to him. That there are many things, even the force of imagination should be present here and the forces of the connections between the friends and so on. All in all what we build is we build inside of us the image of the Creator. Without this certainly he does not exist. As it says that there is no Creator without the created being.

Item 34. (35:32 ) Let it not surprise you that you find…."

9. R. (38:53) On the one hand it's all clear it's all inside our brain, nothing is out and we feel the entire world in our brain, I can't say if there is something like a world like Infinite space and the cosmos, rather it's all in me. It's possible that what appears to me as thousands of light-years in all directions, that is found in the cosmos across these huge distances, but it's possible that it's in my brain, 1 mm of contact between one nerve and another builds this entire picture, and nothing outside of it but that's how we live. That's why we need to expand our education and receive it in such a way inside of us, and the way it can be outside of us. The upper light that influences us, gradually expands our brains, our perception, our imagination, and that's how we come to a decision that what we do understand. It should all be reviewed under the connection with the Creator . Since only through the connection with the Creator there I establish all of my discernments, mental and emotional, and want to put something to the test so that I can be certain that I'm not imagining things. I am truly in the godly perception outside of me outside of my desire, and that is why there is a certain correct grip, objective independent, in all of my qualities.

10. S. (41:39) You said that when you feel yourself completely as a rag, it is that point where you can latch on to that state but come out of it because this is a terrible blow to your ego?

R. Listen list, everything we exist there is only one point of truth, all the rest is a complete and utter lie. In various degrees various percentages. The point of truth is that I am a zero, because I am the created being and everything that is in me I received from my Creator. All of those things the creator gives me so that I would change them and develop them and arrange them in certain ways. This is why I don't, well we need at least a certain attitude of heroism rather I know I'm a zero. All of my work is how to arrange myself from this zero towards the Creator so I can receive from him. I can be filled by Him. I will constantly reach correct feeding from Him and not turn myself towards such forms in life where I seemingly advanced in since my advancement can only be through the ten, this is the correct form to reach the contact with the Creator. We arrange ourselves this way so that in this connector this contact I connect to the Creator it's found in the center of the group. If I come the right way I connect to the Creator I have nothing more to do. Then I begin to drink up, to fill, to receive from this connection everything that I need.

11. S. (44:42) Baal HaSalum describes to us here in this item also in the previous item, how a person sees something and how the soul sees and accepts something or receives something, what does it mean that the souls receive what they are giving?

R. A person who arranges himself in the will to receive in order to bestow, and he has the will to receive which is Malchut and he places before Malchut in order to bestow meaning his system called the upper nine because he bestows through the friends, through the world through the source the world which is the Creator, Then his attitude or rather his relationship with the Creator is through the upper nine through the friends through the connection with what's outside of a person. In this way he builds his spiritual Partzuf. What can he give the Creator by annulling himself towards the other and in this way he can annul himself towards the Creator. To the extent that He makes himself the lowest of everyone, lower than the Creator than he begins to receive because only a little one can receive from the great one. That's what we're doing.

S. I just wanted to be more precise, that is on our level we have to relate to these words such that as you described it before through the adapter, through the ten, we receive, we perceive this understanding of the souls?

R. We bestow to the Creator through the ten we strip received from the Creator through the ten and through additional senses and additional means the way He was organized it for us.

12. S. (47:28) In corporeality we pretty much understand how much the force of imagination works but how does the force of the imagination relate to the Creator's world? How can we develop the force of imagination and spirituality?

R. We'll talk about it later on in this forward not now. The question is good.

13. S. (48:21) How do we transfer the universe we have in our brain to the center of the ten?

R. Our entire perception is nevertheless only through the ten. The ten can be depicted for us as the entire reality and other than this reality there is the Creator who surrounds the reality and livens it, and fills it. Nevertheless it is ten. Ten and not nine, ten and eleven. Everything is ten only ten, because from the highest point of bestowal down to the lowest force of reception you don't need more than 10 Sefirot or 10 degrees. That's why that's what's happening. Now as much as we build the ten and in the meantime, we play in the relationships between us, out of that we gradually come to a state where I am to my beloved and my beloved is to me. We are in a certain connection in the ten towards the Creator. I've been talking about it for a long time and lately I hear from a few tens that this is how they are working.

They connect between them in such a way that they have, they say that it's likely that through that they bestowed to the Creator. I want to say that it's certain, that through this they bestowed to the Creator it's a certainty that they're connected to the Creator even if it's only a subtle thought and this is the direction which we have to develop through the ten to the Creator. That's how we'll begin to feel inside the ten. We will begin to feel inside the ten changes. These changes will begin to decipher them as the Creator's attitude towards us the way he speaks to us, because spirituality has no language, no ears, no tongue, rather it's all in the relationships between us, between the friends, let's say when you have a ten.

Through the changes that we will feel, that are taking place with the friends, as much as they can connect between them, we will begin to feel how the Creator is playing with us. There's nothing in us independent rather what's happening, what is taking place in each and every moment. As if it's somehow connected with the others, we will begin to see in this, sounds colors, in short various kinds of relationships and this is called language. Then it turns out that the Creator seemingly is playing on us. Then in return and thinking of Him how we can delete Him, we will need to strain, we'll need to connect our hearts into one and respond to Him. We'll need to be ready for his bestowal, for his influence. That's how we advance.

14. S. (53:15) How in the ten together, will we reach some united uniform lowliness as a ten?

R. It's only when each and every friend humiliates himself or lowers himself towards the others. Only in this way. Through such general mutual investment, they come to the point of connection more and more where the Creator is found. In that point of connection, as an origin of the ten, the source of the ten. That's it.

15. S. (54:25) In what manner this imaginary world that is seemingly reflected outside of us, how does it expand our knowledge of how to bestow to the Creator?

R. According to your sensitivity. Sensitivity with which we begin to relate to the friends. I don't relate to the friends as something that occupies a corporeal volume with a few pounds of flesh that they have on them. I don't relate to their external actions which depend on their beastly characteristics. Rather I relate to various internal forms of theirs which I also don't discover because that belongs to my spiritual sensitivity. As much as we can come closer to a state where each one sees in the other a spiritual entity that the Creator arranges. I see the friend as part of the Creator. The friend is probably showing me something the Creator, through the friend He wished to show me something. So if I wish to relate to the friends in this way then through the friend I begin to get to know the Creator. Then it turns out that slowly I have a certain connection with the Creator, a mutual connection. Where I relate to the friend and by that I wish to relate to the Creator. In my attitude to the friend I am saying something to the Creator. In this way it turns out that we connect the entire ten with the Creator together and in the end it's not just me with ten friends but rather each one of them as well and we come to a state we're certainly we discover our connection with the Creator and we develop such relationships mutual relationships with him. This is called, I to my beloved and my beloved to me.

16. S. (57:30) It says in item 34 even though all of these changes are done in the interior of the souls that receive nevertheless they see everything in the themself. How can I turn my vision in such a way to see everything that the Creator gives me and His eyes, not in my eyes which are inside of myself?

R. This is possible on the condition that I imagine or depict for myself that I am under the control of the Creator, even my worst qualities, my best qualities. It doesn't matter what is in me .It all comes from Him so I need to criticize all of my discernment that they are coming from Him and why are they coming from Him?. Let's say I get mad about something, I disagree with something it is written. This is my evil inclination that the creator has placed in me so I will rise above it about this evil inclination. For me to know how to correctly relate to all of reality, through this reality eventually to the Creator who arranges and establishes all of reality.

17. S. (59:07) They continue with why is it impossible, why is it possible to receive all of the discernments and all the joy only if we see it in the Giver himself?

R. We need to advance us, more in the correct perception of reality, it is a bit too early, I cannot explain it yet. We have not learned enough in a few items in this Forward.

18. S. (59:59) I heard from you that we bestowed through the ten but we receive from other means, so how do we bestow through the time to the Creator everything we see also in our external life such as war?

R. We need to understand all of the actions that the Creator is passing through us, that these are necessary actions that we have to go through and we need to merge with them, change by them and that is how we advance. About the war that you speak of if you say a few more words I would say what they wanted to know.

S. Maybe the question is how can I pass this war, shift through the ten so that it will come back through the ten to the Creator to bestowal?

R. First of all we need to accept this war that is taking place in Europe as a very special action that is much more real, tangible and internal compared to all of the wars that were fought this far. Through this war the entire world is is being spun, is being pushed, deviated towards the path, very significantly towards the goal, I believe that everyone that participates in this campaign on both sides they will advance greatly in determining new relationships between them and all around the world, it will influence all the systems around the world. This war is not coming to an end just yet and it carries in it a heavy inner charge, I wouldn't say spiritual but human and it is starting to arrange it, it is time that both the East and the West, which is how I divide the relationship between Russia and Ukraine more or less where Russia is like the east and the West is somehow Ukraine compared to it. So they are arranging the world today towards the last generation in a very significant manner so we will see far-reaching results from that.

I'm constantly listening to what is going on there between them and it is not just between them but all the nations of the world, all the nations. We need to understand that by that we accelerate, we hasten greatly the development of all the nations of the world since ultimately without it we cannot reach the end of correction. When we are in the last generation this is purely an action of the last generation among the various actions that have to be revealed. But you can ask more about it and we can talk more about it because the process of this war is fateful for humanity not with respect to life on Earth but with respect to our closeness to the end of correction which is entirely a spiritual matter.

So do not look at the stage on top of which different people are acting, soldiers, weapons but rather we need to engage to the extent to which the evil is revealed and that which the good is approaching to replace it. This war in general I see that humanity needs to reveal the ego that is inside people, inside the nations, inside these super powers so that this ego will be felt as the true evil and that against it we all need to wage a war. The conclusion from this war will be that we are all connecting to be together against our egoistic nature, we do not have one against another, neither Russians nor Ukrainians or Chek or Polish or Americans, Europeans rather we are altogether waging war against our ego. Here we need to concentrate all of our thought.

19. S. (01:07:03) So how to shift this thing through the ten in order to give contentment to the Creator?

R. If we try to acquire the correct picture of what is going on, this is already a part of our spiritual development. For the time being I cannot say more because we have many groups both from Russia and Ukraine, from the East and the West, in America and that is why I am very hesitant to touch everyone's uncorrected ego and he can't raise himself above his ego so we will advance the way we are right now slowly. This war is not coming to an end to today. It is going to last for months.

20. S. (01:08:10) Can we at Bnei Baruch prevent the evil inclination that is touching us in such a bad, harsh way, can we prevent it in the world?

R. Relative to the world?

S. Can we prevent it?

R. In other words can we mitigate the blow that the evil inclination is dealing to the whole world, humanity, nature I would say. I think that yes, first of all we need to remember something simple, here you're talking about the will to receive has four layers of the will to receive. What is felt in the will to receive in the still, vegetative animate and speaking, in the four layers,is how we feel it exists in the world because the entire world is our will to receive and what is happening in it is what we feel and what we discover as existing. So what we need is in all the possibilities as much as possible, in as much as possible we need to correct, to locate the egoistic will to receive. There is nothing more in the world than our ego that we need to somehow calm it down, balance it, bring it to an awareness of where it came from and why it came from there, what is its purpose.

21. S. (01:10:18) Will we as tens be able to feel that we are actually influencing the world?

R. We need to reach a state where we will see that the world is a result of the connection between us, we connect more, it is good for the world. We connect less it is, God forbid, bad for the world and accordingly we can call ourselves wicked or righteous, we give contentment to the Creator or God forbid, we give him sorrow.

22. S. (01:11:10) You said that it is not clear to us how much we are rising, should it be clear to us to the extent to which we are rising that we can actually determine the measure, how does it work exactly?

R. No, we cannot do it yet we don't have revealed providence, later we will be able to measure it according to the Sefirot, the coarseness, the degrees of the screen, the reflected light it is not yet. But we will get there.

23. S. (01:11:40) Do we shape our ten or does the Creator create it?

R. Everything comes from above. Although it might seem to us that we do it ourselves even the mistakes that we make and we have to ask for forgiveness and corrections also those mistakes the Creator is making them. There is none else besides Him.

24. S. (01:12:08) When a person begins to study the wisdom of Kabbalah very quickly he starts to see that he already knows and feels everything and he understood many things already up to the end of correction. Then he discovers that he doesn't know ,doesn't understand anything and again it seems to him he is a complete righteous and then again he discovers his smallness and lowliness. How do you explain all of these things?

R. We advance in waves, knowing not knowing, knowing and not knowing, that is how we attain all of reality, it is always like that, such changes. Otherwise we wouldn't be able to absorb knowledge or emotion, it has to be in such a way for us. In waves waves of changes. According to the law of the advantage of light from darkness that is why it has to be, this way revealed and concealed, revealed and concealed but each time with finer discernment.

25. S. (01:13:27) When the Creator shows a person that he is a zero, nothing, what should a person do with that feeling that he has no control over anything?

R. A person has to be happy that he is not in control of anything because if you were in control you would do it in the worst possible way, the fact that we are in a state where the Creator controls all of our work, the fact that we always pass or take ourselves rather, through the Creator like it or not and that we are in this network called the Creator, Godliness. This is from the get-go built in such a way that we are certainly in a system of learning then we raise ourselves to learn more and more about the work of the Creator, about Providence. To the extent that we get it, that we grasp it ,to that extent we are cleaved with the Creator and to that extent we take upon ourselves a part of his work. This is the meaning of being the Creator’s servant, a worker, a partner. There's work in it, for men, for women, for all of us. The fact that each and every part of the will to receive is awakening as a result of the broken desire in the general system of Adam HaRishon, each and every part feels how by being drawn to correct itself he is correcting everyone.

26. S. (01:15:52) We don't want war and we disagree with the Creator and ask for a blessing?

R. The Creator does not want any war, he is a good that is good, he does not have wars in his plans rather his plans are to bring us to the recognition of evil and to doing good, so we will be like him. That is why there is nothing here that comes from the Creator as negation, a bad attitude and the fact that we disagree with the corrections and by that we continue to extend all of the troubles, this is our problem. Do not turn the vase upside-down that it's the Creator's fault, it is our fault that we don't correct what we receive from him and we receive from him through the system. Where we certainly receive each time what we are capable of correctly receiving, understanding, arranging it we can do it but we do not want to. Then we receive a descent which we seemingly call punishment but a punishment is called correction. We simply go down, let us say I'm in fourth grade and I cannot do I cannot act accordingly, then I am going down to the third grade and there I will perform these actions and then again I will go up to the fourth grade and then fifth and sixth and so forth. Meaning that everything is according to the system and they only promote in Holiness and never demote one in Holiness.

27. S. (01:18:05) Will the entire world soon go into a conversation with the Creator and understand how the system is working?

R. We work inside a system where to enter into a dialogue with the Creator means to reach a state where I am in, where I'm in the system. I can speak to the Creator, I can understand him and I know how to turn to him. The fact that the Creator feels and understands everything, he is the upper force which includes everything, including ourselves, all of creation is included in him, it does not mean anything. The thing is that here we constantly rise to such levels where we work out of feeling awareness, attainment in our own action from within the connection between us, so think how we can speak to the Creator. Anyone who wishes to speak to the Creator and I'm speaking especially to women, she needs to know how she speaks to her friends and then out of that she will be able to turn to the Creator, nothing besides that. As long as a person or rather until a person is able to take off the egoistic garment that he is wearing and put on the garment of bestowal, connection, he does not have connection with the Creator. Okay?

28. S. (01:20:21) Is it true that women united in prayer for world peace are actually setting a condition for the Creator and are not making corrections?

R. Women, I am not sure what women you are talking about. For us there is not much difference between men and women, we all have to pray to the Creator and ask him to give us his ability to push us further into connection between us and also the whole world around us and this is how we will advance to peace. But peace is not peace between us, it is that the Creator is between us and then there is peace. Peace is the name of the Creator, Shalom, and that is the only way to achieve it. All kinds of peace that politicians or other people are trying to determine, we know that it is just for a short-term and it is not real peace. It is just a bit of a truce between more depth that is the good case scenario.

S. They are asking about the daily prayer that they have.

R. That is true. That is true and we will always have to try and tighten the connection between women and thus make a more effective prayer.

29. S. (01:22:10) What is the right thought that we need to hold onto during the lesson?

R. Intentions, during the lesson we talked about that a lot, discussed it a lot. The intention for this has to be that we are connecting between us to a single force. All in all, our goal is to come back to the corrected system of Adam HaRishon. This has to be our goal in front of us, this image that we are drawn to, that is what we are praying for and that is what we want to aim all of our intentions and actions toward.

30. S. (01:23:13) Question coming from several friends in the ten, you said that the Creator does not want wars but humanity has been fighting all throughout history and man isn't in control of anything you are saying, so how does that coincide?

R. The Creator created man in a will to receive in order to receive, called the evil inclination and a person wants everything for himself even though he is in contact with everyone because he wants for himself he also wants at the account of others. If I just want for myself like an animal or the still vegetative inanimate it does not mean that I have an evil inclination but when I want for myself at the account of others, that is called evil inclination, that I enjoy having and the other not having. It is like it says pluck one eye for me on the condition that you pluck to eyes from someone else. So that is the kind of will to receive that we have, we call it evil inclination and that is the culprit behind all of the bad states that we go through. Correcting it is impossible except through the light that reforms, that is how it works in the system. So we have to awaken the light that reforms, that is the whole wisdom of Kabbalah, teaching us how to awaken the light that reforms. The positive force that corrects us, the connection between us brings us closer to the source of abundance, the Creator, that is it.

31. S. (01:25:50) Our practical work is the morning lesson and then we have two zoom meetings….?

R. No no, our practical work is a lesson which includes 3 hours which includes the half an hour before the lesson, then two and a half hours of the lesson and then after that there should be another half an hour that you do have the summary of the lesson. At least two other times when you right read some excerpts or do some discussions between you but other than that you are always scrutinizing what can I do to achieve a complete Kli where I discover the Creator and bring him contentment. That is the true and simple formula.

S. We are doing it but we are, we want to add to the connection, what do we do?

R. We have a lot of excerpts, text, articles, introductions, whatever you choose. Start, you can even ask people to recommend to you for your different meetings and connections what could be effective. That is it. Then you can see. There's no shortage of people that can influence you, to recommend to you what to do. I do not feel that I need something to fill my time with.

S. We really miss you when are you coming to Tbilisi?

R. Well if you promise me some… then we are on our way.

S. Promise.

R. All right.

32. S. (01:28:48) Are the states of our correction measured in regard to the light of Torah?

R. Our states of correction, measured against the light of Torah, of course everything is done by the light of Torah which we draw and pass through us, yes. The answer is yes.

33. S. (01:29:30) There are certain circumstances, external situations that are going on and then there is the work in the ten. Previously it was, these were always distinct things but now in our ten it is a problem which really is felt in the ten. We have a friend who is laying in the trenches, there are missiles being fired at him in some place and the question is how can we use the situation, this specific situation in regard to our ten, not generally the state that is going on the world, but it's practical problem that our tens deal with, what can we do how can we strengthen ourselves?

R. This war as all other wars but especially this one, it makes a big change in the approach, the egoistic approach both the Western and Eastern approach let us say. I do not want to go too deep in these details in particular. I look at it not in a way that there is antagonism and collision of one against the other one is more, one is less, I see how now we are starting to sort out and see who's nation is more ancient, the Russians and Ukrainians, and others around them and all of that stuff. I do not think we need to be discussing that and that we at all need to touch this level of scrutiny.

We need to better see the future, how can we attract everyone both east and west. The west being Ukraine and all of the countries supporting that, it is Eastern Europe of course but it is west in comparison, as compared to Russia which is actual east, even all the way to the Far East. So we have to see in these things how we explain to everyone that it is like in a family everyone has little children and then there are bigger children and then there's adults. The same in humanity, there are people who still live in the trees.

You can see some documentaries about some tribes that are literally living as people lived thousands of years ago. We are not trying to see who is more or less, we rather want to advance everyone. Of course one is on top of the other, below the other but everyone ultimately moves together towards the understanding that connection above all brings the correction to the world. If according to the development of the character of these nations as well, there is a huge difference there and a very big resistance even though they are physically close to each other, still we have to understand that in the last generation, in our time we already have to see humanity moving towards complementation. Which means that everyone has a place, everyone has his place and even though there is a very opposite characteristics between one and the other, if we recognize and understand the goal, from there we can understand that there cannot be the attainment of the goal without everyone participating.

The more I suffer and hate and do not accept some behavior, some characteristic of whether it is the Ukrainians or the Russians or the Jews or the French or who else, it doesn't matter. I have to seek how they complement each other because without complimenting each other we could not reach the final correction. Now we do not get to the final correction by erasing some nation like Hitler wanted to do or someone else, there were many who wanted that, we only come to that by completing each other by that we come to the final correction. So let us look at this world in this perspective. The faster all of the players all the participants recognize that the end of the war is in connecting above all of the differences and the more we understand these opposites, these differences we will understand that there is no flaw in any nation, there is no real flaw.

It all comes from the shattering of Adam HaRishon which was before that a complete system and at the end when it connects again above all the differences, it is once again a complete system and we will not need to do anything besides a mutual agreement that whatever is in each and every one has to be there and we need that in order to have a complete whole Kli, vessel. So all of the wars the system of a war itself, each and every war, is so opposite to the correction process. That is why the general name of the Creator is Shalom, peace, which refers to the attainment of perfection through correction and not through anyone trying to take pride over the other or going, you know, marching forward with their artillery. rockets or something, it is so primitive. It is like when you look at those films where you see tribes fighting with their arrows and bows and rocks. It is the same thing except that now it is with all of the…, it is a very lowly shape for humanity. Let us hope that we are now starting to do the right, take things into the right account. I see this is beginning to happen and there is a role here for both Russia and Ukraine. Everyone needs to understand the essence of war and the essence of peace, it is going to be very interesting.

S. More specifically about the friend that we have that he is at war right now. It is a friend from our ten, not someone from the outside and it is a question of life and death. There is an enemy that is shooting at him, rifles, tanks, cannons, he cannot think now that I will connect, I will do this.

R. No, he has to fight like everyone else. If he cannot escape that, why escape? It is not that I am in favor of telling everyone to escape but if he is able to bring correction without a fight in a more concrete way then it is worthwhile for him to leave the battle and go into a different battle, a battle on a different level, a battle in a higher level. That is what I can say and let us wish luck for everyone in attaining balance which is the Creator that resides between us.

34. S. (01:40:52) I have a question in relation to what we just talked about. I have relatives on the one side in the Ukraine and some were already killed on this side and I do not know how to relate to it. I see that in this world it is the West fighting against us, the East, so we as a group that has an ideology of our own that can already bring redemption to the world from all of these problems. How can we maybe connect, do something new in our dissemination, do some kind of work? Maybe you can give a show on the topic if you can explain it more elaborately maybe.

R. I cannot do that because you can always, if you show one thing for one side, it'll be another thing against the other side. I tried doing that a few times and I saw that I cannot be understood and perhaps I cannot explain well as well, but the result is that ultimately I do not bring peace by that and I'm not bringing together the factions closer together. No, and in general the war is ideological.

Any war is firstly ideological even when it is tribes fighting somewhere in the jungle. It is still ideological, that ideology that expresses itself in these collisions and it is the same here and so the question is not who will win or even who will win in the battlefield. It is a deeper question where is the place in reality for Russia and for the Ukraine and the Russians here claim that they are the first and the major part and Ukraine barely exists as a nation of the country and on the other hand we hear about the Ukrainian nation more ancient than the Russian nation and so there are many things here that historians need to clarify below. Take the people of Israel for instance so what if it is ancient, it gave the rooot to Islam and Christianity and all kinds of wisdoms in the world that came from there, so what does it get for it? Nothing. It is not that who's stronger or wiser or more ancient is right.

The solution is in the connection and so the approach of who is more and who is less which is still what is being played here between superpowers and armies, it is really like little kids who are yelling at each other or attacking each other or fighting each other in their backyard. That is how it appears to me and what do they want to clarify here. So what if the Ukrainians are indeed more ancient than the Russians or the Russians or something else more than the Ukrainians. What would it give anyone? Meaning that people cannot rise above all kinds of distinctions like that and that seems to me, so we have to mature and come out of all that. Me, as a member of the Jewish people which comes from thousands of years ago, so what? I look at them, I think it is time already. Time for us to connect and finish everything up, we have to become again one man in one heart, there is no more in the world besides all of humanity in the image of one man.

All right, let us spread out these things, find it in the sources, write something about it and speak to everyone. We cannot continue, you know, I see what historians are saying on the one hand and on the other hand and everyone is saying who's judging who's right and whose army is stronger and this and that, it is all rubbish, it is all nonsense, none of it will hold water. We must bring about the development of humanity, development of humanity, evolution of humanity and not delve into all of these discussions of whose nation is more ancient and so on all of that. What are we continuing Hitler wanted to see who was smarter and who was less, what did he get out of it, nothing, so we have to follow the direction of the purpose of creation and then we all succeed. It is the one and only solution for every one that is the most whole and perfect.

35. S. (01:48:46) We see the qualities of world reformers that are revealed in the dispute both in individual personalities and governments, how do we bring that into prayer?

R. I just talked about it, I don't look at all these things, I know about it, I go online, I hear about things and there are some that I respect their opinions to some extent but I do not think we need to follow them. The direction should be only connection, the connection will win because it comes from completion. If you see something positive or negative in someone, you should know that there is something positive or negative in another part of the world and that is how they all were before the shattering of the vessels, connected together and we have to help them meet each other and not separate from each other once again. To complement each other, this completion needs to be such that will bring perfection, Shlemut, that is the name of the Creator.

36. S. (01:50:36) What is the difference, how is this war different than other previous wars?

R. This is a more ideological war than before, it clarifies more of the relationship between the east and west, it is more connected to the ego. There is a clash, there is a relatively big clash between Russians and Ukrainians it is for a long time, it is for many years and it is just we see that it cannot be simply bridged over. In all kinds of other places in the world we tried and succeeded even without participation of Kabbalists and so forth, but here between Russians and Ukrainians they cannot because the Russian approach here is very prominent. That we are the most, the best and so on and so anything next to them cannot exist just like that unless it is under us and that is a problem but all in all it is a matter of the ego. Let's start working on our ego and also think about that, helping everyone else.

37. S. (01:52:43) What is the completion between opposites, how in the completion do they oot annul one another?

R. What were you receive from the Creator each one has his nature that is what we got. That is it. We have to understand it comes from the beginning of creation and it becomes completed only at the end of correction, at the final correction. So we just have to assist everyone in reaching the final correction, that is it. I carry within me all the shattering of the world including you and him and the other and each and every one, so let us try to first understand that and from understanding that, it will go deeper into our feeling and from our feeling, it will go more into practice and so on.

38. S. (01:53:51) We heard you many times say that everything that we see actually happens inside of us, how can we believe it without doubt?

R. It is not going to be absolutely clear to you until the final correction, until the final correction.

39. S. (01:54:17) You said that we bestowed to the Creator through the ten, can we bestow to the Creator in the same way through dissemination as well?

R. Certainly all of our actions have an effect on the Creator, especially dissemination because we are disseminating his name.

40. S. (01:54:50) I heard you say that this war will bring us eventually to the corrections, it will bring about the corrections, how are we supposed to pray?

R. I think we just have to disseminate our material, we have to disseminate all of our material about the correction as much as possible, as much as we can in all of the languages, especially Europe, North America all the way to the Far East. Now especially we are going to see the upper hemisphere becoming more and more connected. Okay?

Reading Item 35. (01:57:06) “Since These Matters are at the Core of the...”

41. S. (02:01:41) How do we as Kabbalists, as the nation which is Yasher Kel which means straight toward the Creator, how can we reach or show the form of connection of all conflicts, like the disputes that we're experiencing now. Like if we see terror, and many other things like what's going on in the Ukraine, how can we do it?

R. That can be done only through disseminating the Wisdom of Kabbalah, not the whole Wisdom of Kabbalah, no need for these things but just the foundation, the principle of where humanity comes from, what it has to go through, and what shape it needs to take. That needs to be clear and clearly explained to all people in this world. Otherwise they don't know what they're for, who they are, or where they're headed. Who am I? What am I for? That's our work, otherwise nothing good will happen. That's why Kabbalists ask us so much to disseminate, to teach everyone what the Wisdom of Kabbalah says. We don't do this by force or by aggressive persuasion, but just by showing, exposing what is happening throughout human history and how the Wisdom of Kabbalah explains why it happens, so let's try.

S. It's just that the form of connection in and of itself during such acute ideological conflicts, how does it happen? That's unclear. We are disseminating and we are doing but when there is such a clear confrontation between two, maybe we'll be able to show like brothers how Arabs and Jews do connect?

R. That's a waste of time now. It's all not simple, it's not like you think, and we need a lot more dissemination to do, and from the Wisdom of Kabbalah and maybe later on we'll come to something we can actually explain to people what's going on. If you start talking about the connections and this and that, you're going to be beat up by both sides. We are forbidden to do that, that's forbidden.

42. S. (02:04:58) What does it mean that in the two Sefirot of Keter and Hochma that there is no imagination or picture?

R. Keter and Hochma are the Sefirot of the light that comes from above. Keter is complete light, Hochma is the force of the light that begins to appear in practice but it's still a force. That force then clothes in the force of Hassadim in Bina and then together they work on Zeir Anpin in a short small form and then in Malchut. I don't know, it's not simple. For now we just have to explain what is happening between us, what you're learning how to do.

43. S. (02:06:17) On the one hand we need to justify the Creator, on the other hand it says my sons have defeated me. What do we need to agree with and what do we need to fight against? R. We need to agree with everything we feel in life that it's coming for our own good and the Creator is the good that does good in everything that's happening to us. He is good that does good for sure and yet we have to accept this good that does good in a way that we change by it, we correct ourselves until we become similar to the Creator.

44. S. (02:07:14) A boundary between the degrees, what is it? Are we talking about a boundary between two degrees or what is it exactly?

R. Any boundary between the degrees, the Partzufim, the worlds, the Sefirot, every border, every distinction, difference is in oppositeness. That what used to be in the upper one then inverts and appears in the lower one in the opposite form through an inversion, we’ll learn that. It's like how Malchut becomes Keter and Keter ultimately becomes Malchut. Only by the participation of both and the inversion of both we come to understand the Creator, that the Creator appears above all the differences.

45. S. (02:08:53) Does it have some kind of implication in the work in the ten, meaning that we work only until Bina and not with Keter and Hochma?

R. We start with Bina because Keter and Hochma are not attainable. We only speak of them from within our attainment of Bina to the extent that we can equalize with Bina and by that we can discuss Keter and Hochma. We don't have the vessels for Keter and Hochma. Keter is the thought of the Creator and Hochma is all the light that he ultimately wants to pass on to the created beings, His whole bestowal, His whole status and so on. It’s impossible, it turns out that it is impossible for us to attain Keter and Hochma in such a way but He doesn't take anything from us because through our work we actually come to as much as we can understand for now, and by that we attain everything, everything.

46. S. (02:10:21) What does it mean where he says that not instead of the Sefirot but in what regard to the receivers?

R. We never attain anything that is above Malchut because we are the Malchut, so whatever we receive is already in our matter.

S. How can we determine the Sefirot from Malchut to Bina all together, what's this attitude from Malchut to those Sefirot?

R. From what is within the Malchut, all these Sefirot receive. It's like in a mirror, you don't see the person himself there, what you see is his image there, his picture there, right? It's not the person himself. Same thing here but it doesn't take anything from our attainment. It's like when you look into the mirror you understand that what you're seeing in the mirror is what you have on your face, let's say, but you're not seeing your face, you're seeing the mirror.

S. In relation to the ten is the ten also a kind of mirror?

R. The ten is even more than that of course, yes. The ten is like a mirror with a magnifying glass showing you what is deep inside of you. When you look into the ten you see yourself within as much as you're capable of that, and essentially all of creation that you see around you is showing you your inner self.

S. I still don't understand. Everything that exists in reality is my inner self or is it the ten that's outside of me, like Rabash says that there are only the friends?

R. The friends are the circle in which you see your soul, where you receive a replica of the Upper spiritual perception. The friends is like taking a binocular and trying to see something far away so you're turning the focus knob on the binocular and by doing it right you can see far away. Same thing with the group. By changing your attitude to the friends, wanting to unite them and connect them and be at the central point of the ten, by that you advance yourself to seeing far away.

Workshop question: How can we as a ten live out the lesson throughout the day and not fall from the spirit that we've received during the lesson? Every ten should build a plan on how to do it.

How do we have to as a ten live out the lesson throughout the day? How can we hold on, how can we support each other from falling from the spirit that we've received in the lesson? Every ten builds a plan of how we do it during the day. Good luck.
