Part 1:

Growing Stronger in There Is None Else Besides Him - Selected Excerpts from the Sources. #3

1. Rav’s Introduction: (0:22) Yes, this is what we have to do in light of the situation that we have here in Israel and also in the world and there will be a response that the more we connect and we want to be closer to the Creator, by that we correct the situation and this is how we will continue all of the hours of our morning study. This is all we can do. We regret the fact that this is happening to us, the fact that we were not united enough. This is what drew upon us, another blow here in Israel where we already have hundreds of people who died and also thousands even that were hurt, injured in some way and only through the power of our connection can we change the situation and bring it from a state of falling and loss to the state of success, well, success. Let's hope that during our study we will think about good consequences from what we are now going through in Israel and in general in our whole world Kli and that we will realize that our connection is the only thing that can save us. So let's try to be close in our hearts and let's begin the lesson with this intention.

Reading Excerpt 3. (02:58) “One has no choice but to direct...”twice

2. R. (05:20) This means that we have no other possibility to correct our situation but only to scrutinize why it came, what purpose did it come and what do we have to do according to the situation, that he says to always aim towards the upper Force, which is actually the source for everything that happens to us, to all of us together, to all of us individually. That all in all, as much as we connect between us and direct ourselves towards Him; by that we correct the situation, and all the time we get closer to adhesion There Is None Else Besides Him.

3. S. (06:16) What is the faith and confidence above reason that a person uses in the tougher times?

R. That if a person feels that he is disconnecting from the Force that manages his life, then it's a problem. Then that Force, the Creator has no other possibility but only to bring a person closer through all kinds of actions that may be unpleasant, perhaps. However, they shake the person and bring him closer to the purpose, forcefully and so what a person needs is first of all to direct himself to aim towards the Creator, that There Is None Else Besides Him who performs the action over him and over all of humanity and over the whole world and over all of the worlds; that He exists above all of creation and therefore, we need to get closer between us even more and through our common force to elevate ourselves even more towards the Creator.

S. How does the thought of None Else Besides Him in the tough times help a person come out of the tough states or what does it give him in the tough states?

R. Because by that, precisely by taking the coarseness and the pain from the difficult state and connecting it to There Is None Else Besides Him he brings the Creator his request that he wants to be close to the Creator and not because it's difficult for him, but because now there is an opportunity that the Creator is giving him, an opportunity to get closer to connect, to grow stronger in the power of faith above reason. So it doesn't matter what he feels and thinks but he now has before him the Force which is Good and doing good and There Is None Else Besides Him and this force is the One that manages the whole of reality Above. Whatever you feel, this Force is even closer to the person in the tough moments, so now the person has an opportunity even though it's not from a good state seemingly but from a difficult state, to turn to the Creator, that There Is None Else Besides Him and try to be in non-stop adhesion with Him.

S. How to work correctly in such emotional times that flood you with emotion, how to correctly balance the mind and heart?

R. If a person understands that everything is in the hands of the Creator, life and death and in general all of the events that he goes through and also what he thinks, that he thinks that he's thinking it but nevertheless everything that is happening is happening only from the Creator. So a person should try to be in all of the states, even difficult ones, to be connected to his friends, his group, his ten and out of that to direct himself to the Creator as the only cause that is operating on him.

4. S. (10:35) What does it mean that the light of the Creator doesn't clothe in the changing of times?

R. The Creator, through all the states that we go through in our mind and in our heart, the feeling that comes to us from the world itself and from the connection between us and from our knowledge about the Creator and out of all of these things all together that we go through, we have to direct ourselves to the Source of everything that is happening, that There Is None Else Besides Him, and we need to try not to disconnect from each other and all of us together from the Creator.

5. S. (11:41) If we now can't feel in our hearts that There Is None Else Besides Him, if we in our thought and mind try to link all of the events that are happening in our thoughts artificially to relate to that To None Else Besides Him and that it all comes from Him and He does this deliberately because it's good for us, will that bring us to a feeling in the heart?

R. Yes, if we make an effort and depict to ourselves in all the circumstances that whatever is happening to us comes from the Creator, then even though we are in unpleasant states we nevertheless think that this comes from the Creator, that There Is None Else Besides Him. In spite of everything that we feel and suffer we should nevertheless tie it to the Creator and think that because we are not bonded together and we don't get closer to Him in that state that we exist this is because of that is our whole trouble and so what we can do is grow stronger and stronger in the connection between us and by that we will be able to overcome all the unpleasant consequences of what is happening.

6. S. (13:28) He writes and if one rejects the moment he displays his folly openly. Why one who rejects is a fool, why is that?

R. Because he doesn't find in the present moment the possibility to turn to the Creator; this is called a fool. It’s not that he doesn’t have an intellect or he doesn't have an emotion but rather he is not making a sufficient effort to ascribe everything to There Is None Else Besides Him in whatever state it is, up to, God forbid, the worst possible state, he nevertheless tries to be connected with the Creator and to be close to Him.

S. What do you do against this force that rejects and says, “I'll do it tomorrow, tomorrow I’ll connect better in the next moment?”

R. No, we have to realize that this is only for the purpose of our connection and in order to promote us even more to the end of correction, the Creator operates His force and He performs all the actions in the world from the smallest actions to the greatest actions.

7. S. (15:01) How does this work differ which is above reason as opposed to the work below reason? On the still level we say that everything comes from the Creator. What's the difference between these two works that we have to do?

R. The difference between below reason and above reason is that we need to try every moment, no matter what is happening, to try to relate everything to There Is None Else Besides Him, to the upper Force and to try to be in connection between us and out of the connections between us, specifically to rise to Him and demand adhesion; this is the only and most important correction, demand adhesion between us and that we will adhere first in the adhesion between us and then into the Creator. He will try to build this line, adhesion between us and the Creator that we will enter the world that is all good. Not in that it's good for us but rather in that this is how we give contentment to the Creator.

8. S. (16:33) How in these times that are not simple, how do we help each other really maintain the right intention and aim ourselves towards the Creator, the upper Force and not just distract ourselves to all kinds of things outside? How do we help each other be aimed at connection and in love?

R. We have to rise above the disturbances that we have, that each one of us has and everyone together, and in this way we will succeed in rising above our evil inclination, our ego, above the earthly reason and connect between us and with the Creator. This is actually the solution.

9. S. (17:37) I wanted to ask if this exceptional state creates for us, Bnei Baruch and in the tens, some unique opportunities in addition to our routine work?

R. Of course, of course and this is why after we digest the situation and we become incorporated in it and we want to change it, not because it's bad for us and this is also true. However, we want to rise above our state in order to bring everything that is happening to us, all of our emotions and thoughts to the upper Force. That He arranges everything, He does everything and There's None Else Besides Him. So as much as we rise to Him and we want to adhere together between us and to Him, this is our work right now and in that we should feel what is the true reality and the Creator's intention towards us.

S. This means that the pressure point is to add more prayer in the tens, like many tens added to themselves another meeting of prayer. Is that a correct attitude to the situation, to try to reveal the Creator between us?

R. Yes, it's the correct and desirable form of action but we should still check are these prayers aimed correctly to what we are learning, to There Is None Else Besides Him.

10. S. (19:33) It says that the forefathers have prepared for us faith and confidence above reason. What do I need to do so I can feel this faith and confidence?

R. First of all we have to realize that each one has an opportunity to reach adhesion with the friends and this adhesion should already give us forces for connection even more until we discover in it the reason for our whole situation which is the upper Force, There Is None Else Besides Him, and when we will reach implementing these things such that besides the Creator we have nothing in the whole of reality and He feels everything. Then we will see the response, the answer from the state we are going through and where we have to reach.

11. S. (21:02) There are friends in our society whose children were drafted now to the Army Reserves, some are fighting, some whose relatives were harmed. The question is: Where's the responsibility when it touches your flesh? The situation is a lot more challenging than one who's not being touched by it at the moment, so what is the responsibility of one who is not going through a situation like that on his flesh versus those who do?

R. We have to strengthen everyone and think about everyone and let's hope that this situation will be corrected very quickly and it all depends only on the connection between us and the prayer from us to the Creator. There is nothing that can help here and correct the situation but only our request out of our connection.

S. The relationship is a general one, we don't need to relate specifically to specific friends?

R. Well, what are you going to do? The fact that we think of everyone, that we all depend on the Creator and we want to correct the connection between us which is actually the correct purpose, by that, when we connect between us even more “as one man with one heart,” by that we actually compel the Creator to come to us with commands, with actions that are softer, better. So let's connect and connect with the Creator.

12. S. (23:10) Question about working with None Else Besides Him. What does it mean to relate every state to the Creator?

R. That there is only One Force that manages everything and does everything. He created us from the very first moment of creation, He accompanies us, teaches us and He is the One who is influencing us in the corporeal world which we feel ourselves and also in the spiritual world that we have to reach and then to be adhered to the Creator in heart and soul. And this is why, even in the most difficult moments, we have nothing else to do but only to be in adhesion, to demand adhesion between us and with the Creator.

S. It turns out that seemingly the tougher the times the more naturally a person is drawn to the Creator because he needs support, the situation is bigger than him. The question is: What's our inner work? I'm talking about us right now. What's our inner work beyond relating to Him, understanding that it comes from Above, that it comes from the Creator? What else do we need to do to turn the state to a correct attitude of a student on the path?

R. We need to add to it more intention and demand that the fact that we demand from the Creator to be in adhesion to each other and in adhesion with Him is only in order to bring Him contentment. The Creator doesn't distinguish between difficult moments and small beautiful moments. The Creator only feels our response to be in adhesion between us and with Him, and therefore, this is the state that we should be directed to.

13. S. (25:44) I heard you say that we have to check our prayers, that they're aimed at the Creator. What’s the essence of this examination when we put together a prayer in the ten?

R. We have to check ourselves all the time, if we are aimed from heart to heart and with all of our hearts will be bonded together into one common heart which will be aimed towards the Creator. This is our work. We have to try to depict this to ourselves in the group, in every connection between us and out of this connection we yearn for the Creator and later on when we will start to feel the Creator inside of the connection between us, we will already feel Him, we will already have a different kind of work, spiritual work. And so with the help of these problems that He awakens in us, He tries to raise us, to lift us to the next degree and to direct us to Him.

14. S. (27:31) It's said to direct all present and future moments to the Creator. How do we work, let's say, with the present moments to the Creator or the future? Is there a difference in the way we treat them?

R. No, we, as Baal HaSulam writes, we should direct all of our moments, those that we went through, those that we feel right now and those that are destined to come to us, all of these moments we want to direct to the Creator, to There's None Else Besides Him, to the single Unique and Unified Source and by that we will ultimately feel that we are incorporated in Him and it is only with Him that we have a connection.

S. What could be an example of future moments? How do we get those?

R. That everything that is happening right now and everything that will happen to us in our life, we want to be connected with the Creator, no matter what it is. It doesn't matter what we will go through because the Creator created an evil inclination, meaning this desire within us which is against the Creator and that we have to direct it, this desire, to constantly be in favor of the Creator, that everything comes from Him, it doesn't matter what states we will go through.

S. Do we get them from the sages, those future moments?

R. No, from the Creator. Maybe it's through them but it comes from the Creator. Everything comes only from the Creator.

15. S. (30:00) Difficult states in the Tens internally, what's supposed to be our prayer right now in order to become more sensitive together with the whole world Kli relating to the state of affairs in Israel?

R. We only need connection and to understand that only through this purpose for this sake,the Creator works on us and he passes us through all kinds of situations so that if we will connect through them. then all these states will become good and if we can't yet hear it then we need to hear his commands and his desire. This is the situation that is happening right now.

16. S. (31:32) Is the friend's desire a complete Kli for connection with the Creator and how to have the right intention?

R. If I want to connect with a friend and together with him we want to be connected in order to get closer to the Creator, then we already have between us a come and vessel mine and the friends and then in this common vessel we can get closer to the Creator one person cannot do it.

S. How do we all together reach this work with one friend it's clear how to join more friends to this?

R. We need to work on it. We must pull each one and men and women to the connection between us, to the common desire of all of us to be in the 10 as one and then this way we will get closer to the goal.

17. S. (33:04) What is happening is happening for us for the world Kli deliberately or for the whole world or for the people of Israel?

R. For everyone, to the extent that each one participates is incorporated in the world development in the overall global development.

S. We have such a great force in the world, our group, if we depict the right connection that is expected from us that would really influence the state of affairs significantly, what would be the right way to depict the state?

R. We are connected in general the whole of humanity and one will to receive. This will to receive gradually go through changes and transformations from a will to receive to a will to bestow under the Creators influence, so that I can't even imagine to myself a different state besides being connected between us and turning to the Creator and persuading Him that He would change our intentions to bestow to love connection..

S. Let's imagine for ourselves that we are Bnei Baruch like good kids. We are connecting correctly and properly. How do we imagine to ourselves the right connection? What does it mean that we pray all the time that we feel each other in the world group? How do we imagine this state?

R. As a state of being Incorporated in the Creator.

S.

R. All of us together as a group

18. S. (35:33) Will these only see the states available so that the Creator changes it ?

R. What we see is we actually see our own qualities. This is how they become revealed before us. If we correct the connection between us we will see ourselves in a way that is truly good, whole connected between us and with the Creator there are no other states.

19. S. (36:28) I hear that we have to have a very precise intention to be bonded with each other and bring him,how can we hold on to that and bring contentment to the Creator?

R. A person should understand that what is inside of this is called the service work of the Creator.Meaning only the Creator does everything, manages everything and There is None Else Besides Him. The person should always be directed to the Creator to demand from Him, to ask of Him, even compel Him if we can say so, to compel him to change the world in the good direction. to change the world in a good direction. It's not that we should see a different world, that the world is changing, We need to see ourselves changing so that in changing our qualities from reception to bestowal we will start to see an opposite world. That there is no more than the good and the benevolent force that is managing everything and this only depends on an art change from the egoistic quality to the altruistic quality.

S. The whole work is just in making the intention of the person more precise regardless of whatever horrors he sees on the outside?

R. Yes.

S. He doesn't have an external expectation that there will be a better world,corrected without wars and unity?

R. He certainly has an expectation to see a better world but he should know that he should know how much seeing things this way depends on him that he will change his qualities to be similar to the Creator.

20. S. (39:12) What to do when the mind says None Else Besides Him but the heart is not really aimed there?

R. Try to work with the friends and they will influence the person's heart and the heart will also be directed correctly. We don't have control over our hearts, only the friends can do it.

21. S. (39:50) There was such a strong feeling of connection during Congress and with the world Kli and since the start of the war there's been this feeling of responsibility and shame from being from America what to do with the shame how to not allow it to harm the connection how to rise above it?

R. We need to try to rise above the shame, there's no time for shame now. Now is the time for action. We have to connect between us above all of our egoistic feelings and shame even though it's a good thing that promotes us but along with that it's root,the root of the shame is our ego. We have to balance all of these things together and try out them to pray to the Creator so that he will transform our shame into honor. On the contrary, we will begin to be proud of our work and how much we can change the world.

22. S. (41:45) What is it in the spiritual connection between people that doesn't exist in the ordinary connection between ordinary people in this world?

R. The difference between connecting in an ordinary group vs a purposeful group is that it is directed towards the Creator. That it wants to go through such states where it's not that they will feel good in their qualities, in their understanding in their awareness but rather reach the point where they bestow good to the Creator in the work between them, that the kind of connection the intensity of connection that they discover will truly be good in the eyes of the Creator bringing them closer to the Creator and bring the whole world closer to Him and this is how we will advance.

23. S. (43:11) If we begin to have reflected light will we have more trials will we see more trials?

R. Yes of course meaning our egoism will be increased will be given tougher conditions so that we will be able to rise above them. It is the mutual Arvut, the mutual responsibility.

S. People who are completely corrected they're not in this reality of ours?

R. No, they're simply above it.

24. S. (44:13) 15 minutes ago we received a message that a relative is among the dead and a friend from the Ten said that some friends who work with him in the school are not alive. I heard you say a while ago that the Creator doesn't take into account if we feel good or bad from this whole picture of reality and all the disasters that happen. How does it advance us towards the correction? Except that it brings me to the realization that the Creator doesn't care about the people and except that their suffering somehow leads them to an intention to connect or know him as the good that does good. I simply do not understand how this inversion happens?

R. Yes, unfortunately there are many casualties. We have to understand that all of this is the result of our negligence, and therefore we need to try more and more to get closer between us and pray for connection.

S. I heard you say that for quite a long time and friends are asking you all the time, what else do we need to do? Let's say we accept what you say we see where to blame. but what are we to do beyond you telling us that we have to connect more and pray more. We do that all day, yesterday for an hour and a half the whole world Kli. We, all day, are meeting in prayers and the lessons beyond the desire to just escape as long as we can and at least for me. What else to do beyond you telling us connection and prayer, what?

R. Nothing, nothing besides connection and prayer.

25. S. (46:38) There is such a powerful feeling of connection in this last Congress and a cry out to the Creator and North America and South America really inspired even at the thought of your coming to a congress in the Americas. Could you recommend more physical gatherings even if it's a few friends that get together physically to strengthen and deepen that connection?

R. I hope that we nevertheless are in between such meetings, we have a plan to carry out our Congress gathering in Turkey a few months from now and later on, to have more. This is what we do and what we want to do. Let's hope that the situation in the world will enable us to have such great gatherings.

S. Just to clarify the question she said if it's good that friends will gather even in shorter smaller gatherings besides the big congresses?

R. Why not connection is always good, if it is done according to our rules.

S. This will strengthen the connection of the whole world Kli if we all make efforts to get together physically?

R. Yes.

26. S. (48:48) I heard that things don't need to be so difficult and yet we're facing more and more difficult states, and we cannot pray without these difficult states so can we go through these states internally without going through these states in corporality?

R. As much as we feel ourselves that we are broken out of this breaking you can ask for correction and so it's not a matter of the situation itself but rather how much do we feel this corrupted state and so let's try through the connection between us to raise our sensitivity towards connection and lack of connection and turn to the Creator to correct us.

27. S. (50:28) How can you increase the ability to justify the Creator in tough states?

R. Only through connection in the society. Only through Connection in the society you can rise above the individual.. of each and everyone so that you are willing to blame the Creator because there's Nothing Else Besides Him and of course he is doing everything that happens and bring yourself to a state where are you connect everything to a single force and arrange him as the single force that exists above you and it's all through the group effort.

28. S. (51:39) What do we need to acquire and how can we start feeling that we are on the right path?

R. Ask the Creator that He will help us to connect with the friends so that we will feel not ourselves but the general connection between us and in this way we will advance forward.

S. To start the first step towards connection?

R. To each one that wants to rise above himself and we want to connect togethers in one desire towards one intention towards the Creator.

29. S. (53:05) First United States and South America our hearts are bleeding for the friends that are hurting. I have two questions, the first one is when we had issues in the United States where corporeal actions brought some of our friends away from us because we were not going to become part of their enforcement group are we going to have the same problem in Israel are we going to lose friends because we're not a hostile organization?

R. Without a doubt, some of the friends will disconnect from us however new friends will also become revealed and will connect with us.

S. Second question,USA Northeast has been continuing our experimentation with meeting with other Tens and we are presently meeting with Latin 2 and they're just such a strong force that even when we go to Latin 2 and there's no one in the room,you can feel the power of the Creator, how do we explain as you said that the heart of South America is just so strong how can we make that occur around the world?

R. South America is indeed a very strong vessel, they have a wide, big heart and a very broad feeling and so this is what we feel. I hope that we will get closer to them and perhaps we will have the next Congress, maybe in South America.

30. S. (55:55) We want in South America to have a greater degree of connection. How do we know that we're aiming correctly towards this connection?

R. This is according to the daily work when we check ourselves all the time, each one on his own and each one with respect to the group, and the group needs connection and looking at other groups and this is how we reach a greater connection and rising each and every day an hour desire to bestow to each other.

31. S. (56:59) We enter the state of there's None Else Besides Him and then we get confidence. The question is how can we be cautious so that we don't get stuck between heaven and earth but rather all the time be in motion and constantly changing?

R. This is by greater connection between us from day to day from moment to moment, only in such a way.

32. S. (57:52) We would like to express our love to you, you are in our heart and in our prayer. The question is, everything that happens is because we are not yearning for and we don't want redemption to come now?

R. Yes, we are not yet ready for redemption and that's why we receive directions, pushes towards redemption, the Creator is helping us be pushed towards redemption, influence each other and we don't yet really accept it correctly so in all the Creator's actions upon us we don't feel ourselves well. We're moving towards redemption but by the Creator’s tough hand, like let's say the war that we have right now in Israel. Instead of making a step towards redemption in a good and comfortable, nice, happy way we receive that by troubles, blows. Well, let's hope that this will help us understand that the path is correct but the means is bad and we should achieve a better means.

33. S. (1:00:09) You said that before because of our negligence in connection that all of these horrors are happening and it really causes a feeling of deep sorrow and depression, so how do we not get stuck in these emotions and keep giving the Creator the greatness of the Creator and gratitude for everything He's giving us?

R. This is by a group decision. You should sit together and think hard together how can we connect so as to convince the Creator to jump us forward so that we will become more connected, so that we will be more spiritual, and that we will feel in our common will to receive the Creator that dwells there and thus we will advance. Everything depends on our request

32. S. (01:01:40) Did I understand correctly that instead of discovering the bad on the outside in such a cruel manner we have to develop sensitivity, extra sensitivity to the internal shattering in order to pray to the Creator?

R. We can either take the good path or the bad path, it depends on what we choose.

S. How do we elevate our sensitivity?

R. If we read together, study together, discuss together, then we have an opportunity from our mutual understanding to also better understand the Creator.

33. S. (01:02:43) If we persuade the Creator by our prayers to create a world of bestowal for us.

R. Again.

S. If we push the Creator for a world of bestowal is it possible that some people who don't want something good, want the opposite, can they also convince the Creator by their prayers?

R. Yes, yes, and then the Creator will correct it. The most important is to participate, to go forward.

34. S. (01:03:32) There is a famous sentence: either he will hang, depend on each other and hang on each other or he will hang next to each other. Right now it's a terrible feeling that we're hanging next to each other. Fathers, mothers, parents, children and everything, it's a terrible situation. The question is how can we invert it? Also what does it mean that you have to depend on each other? It doesn't say depend on the connection between you but depend on each other. What does it mean?

R. That we, even not in forces of bestowal, we still depend on each other.

S. How do we do it? How do we get rid of this problem, of this state, where we feel that we are hanging next to each other in what's happening?

R. Yes, because we are built this way to begin with.

Reading excerpt number 4 (01:06:32) “First thing in the morning when he rises from his sleep..” twice

35. S. (01:10:12) What does he mean when he says, image of nature makes an iron partition? What does that mean to us?

R. It means that what we see before us in our sight is not the true form, it's rather what we see, but in truth we are in a field that is blessed by the Creator, meaning we are under the force of the Creator which paints all those pictures we see of still, vegetative, animate, and human beings, and we have to try to see the world as entirely drawn by the Creator, and that it is an outcome of what the Creator wants us to see, and through this picture of reality that we see, through that reality, we'll come to see only One, Unique, and Unified force which changes and governs and does everything and there's None Else Besides Him.

36. S. (01:11:54) How do we cancel nature's partitions and adhere to the Creator in everything?

R. By all of us in the ten working to see the true reality that the Creator paints to us and we ask the Creator that He will be revealed through this reality.

S. He depicts to us the true reality or do we have to create it in the connections between us?

R. We don't create anything. We only, we can only ask the Creator that we have to see instead of this reality we see we have to see Him as the source of all of this reality.

37. S. (01:12:57) It says here, first one should believe that nature's partitions do not cut off from him, afterward he should pray from the bottom of his heart, even for something that's above his natural desire. What does it mean that first he must believe and later on he should pray?

R. Because otherwise if he does not paint some picture of himself of some relationship between him and the group, him and and the Creator, then how will he pray? The prayer has to be connected or comprised of two states, the present state and either the past or the future state. Typically it's the present state and the future state. That's what he needs to envision to himself and then turn to the Creator, what form of the future he wants to have; adhesion with the Creator.

S. Which is something that's above his natural desire?

R. Yes. A person can say yeah I want but what does adhesion with the Creator means, to describe it correctly. Adhesion with the Creator means that he detaches from his present will to receive and rises above it by faith above reason and then he comes to the next degree.

S. If I can ask a practical question, how can we direct ourselves and the whole society in an individual ten and also in the group and the society in general so that indeed all of the time we will see that there is none else besides Him and we will want all the time to walk with a prayer that indeed we will be in that place which is above reason and give joy and confidence to everyone, because what's happening right now is that we have connections for prayer and reading all day long and also all kinds of discussions in the chat, groups about all kinds of things, and what's the corporeal state, that people look at the news, but we also have the lesson that we can hear all the time, we can have it in our ear. So my question is what is the right balance in order to truly be directed in the right way?

R. After we hear a bit of all of those things, a bit, we have to aim them towards the purpose of creation. As much as the things that we hear and we get inspired by listening to it, it all has to aim me directly towards the purpose of life.

S. What do we need to focus on between the friends when we talk between us? Do we need to talk mostly about the lesson, about the situation, about supporting one another?

R. The purpose of life, the purpose of the lesson, and none else besides Him.

38. S. (01:16:36) Throughout the years you taught us that if we come to a certain connection between us, with humanity, it will bring Hassadim to the world as well. During this convention you said we came to a certain connection and I at least see that the results are different than what I would expect them to be. The question is whether it's really the influence that we have on this reality, on this world, or we are saying that eventually we will come from Lo Lishma to Lishma?

R. Why do you think that what we are getting to today isn’t on the way to the purpose of creation?

S. Of course it's on the way but our influence on reality should be for the better and it's not how it appears in our vessels.

R. In our vessels? Of course it will not be. As much as we come closer to the purpose of creation it'll seem to us further and further away and then from that we will be able to give a stronger and stronger prayer towards the Creator, and there are wars of religion and all kinds of phenomena at the end. It's not simple to go through but we will have to go through it all.

S. It is written that there are wars along the way etc., so how can we expect that the revelation of the Creator to His created beings in this world. Isn't in this world, the world that we see, is this world something else? Because the Creator should be revealed as good as doing good in this world so where is that in this world? If everything will continue with wars until the very end, never until the end of correction, we won't be able to see that things are going with Hassadim, mercy, and in a good way?

R. As much as we succeed to be in such vessels that's what we will feel and if we are unsuccessful in it we will feel the opposite.

S. Didn’t we succeed in the previous congress?

R. You can't say as much as you succeeded or not.

S. This is what I'm asking, shouldn't we see a connection? Shouldn't we expect to see a connection between our action and that we will directly see in this world a change for the better?

R. We can't see that yet. They have eyes and they shall not see. We are still in such a state because if we would see what we have done it would weaken us a lot, we wouldn't want to advance anymore. The Creator is letting us advance constantly in ways just like we learned in school, you come out of a lesson in school and you get the lesson the next day and more and more and you have to do homework and all kinds of things like that, meaning there is no rest in that.

S. What is the way of Torah and not the way of sufferings if only in the final correction? So that should be the path of Torah not the path of suffering?

R. The path of Torah as opposed to the path of suffering is what a person feels, that what he goes through is for the benefit of his spiritual advancement only.

S. So again like you said, we shouldn't expect from our work for us to see with our eyes in this world a change. This world will not manage itself the way it is until the final correction.

R. Correct, but we will not be in this world already, we will already overcome above it to a higher world.

S. I understand Rav, so if it's possible here we still say the revelation of the Creator to the created beings in this world. So where is this world where it will also be good if we are rising above, but this world should also be. What is this world?

R. This world, what you see in your bodily senses, let's say.

S. The question is still there. How do we see an improvement in this world one way or the other along the way?

R. In the senses you are, in this world, in the feeling of this world, you cannot see anything happening for the good, because this whole perception is destined to put pressure on you to rise to a higher world, to a higher perception, to a higher understanding, so in this world you never reach that.

39. S. (01:22:52) It is written, and then he will pray with his whole heart. What is to pray with this whole heart?

R. With all of his heart, meaning with all of his senses, he is only aiming in order to attain what's desired, and what's desired for him is the next adhesion on the next degree.

S. If the heart doesn't awaken what to do?

R. If the heart doesn't awaken it means that you don't subjugate enough before your friends.

40. S. (01:23:44) In times of war we see extremes, fanaticism, people come to murder so they murder all the way, but on the other hand people say that we will show them all the way. Why can't we also be fanatical in our connection between us and None Else Besides Him as well?

R. That's done on purpose so we won't miss out on our freedom of choice. That specifically through the freedom of choice we reach the right awareness of the Creator.

S. It's seemingly a weakness. We see that we are weak and we are not managing to, the task is simple, it's clear, why can't we be all the way with it and that's it?

R. Because then we will be fanatics and we constantly have to be in the freedom of choice.

S. What do such harsh states come to us in corporeality for?

R. In order for us to be in the freedom of choice, they are not difficult. They are exactly organized according to our degrees.

41. S. (01:25:17) What's the correct form of adhesion in the Creator?

R. The correct form of adhesion with the Creator is mutual bestowal from two sides: the Creator on the created being and the created being on the Creator.

42. S. (01:25:57) Sometimes when a state of concealment comes we come to revelation through the connection in our ten. We search for this point of the center of concealment in which everything is inverted and the connection with the Creator appears, but often there is this cloud where you seemingly cannot do anything, you're in this cloud and you're waiting for something to change. The question is, this is some lack in our work or not sufficient work of my friends and we need to turn to the Creator in request, or simply time will go and the Creator will perform some job?

R. All together, all of that together, each one pulls the other one behind him with him.

43. S. (01:27:47) How to identify on our spiritual path the next step of a person? How do I know that that's my next degree, my next step that I have to take?

R. You don't know. If you activate your desires, forces, prayers, on a higher degree than before then you can say that yes, now I am ascending on the path.

S. How will we come to that? How will we feel that?

R. I don't know, ask, scrutinize.

44. S. (01:28:32) We heard in Rabash’s article, he sees pain and ailments in the world and besides prayer there's nothing for him to give. What prayer is Rabash talking about? What did he request?

R. He requested what he was thinking about and you request what you are thinking about, you see? What each one prays for he does it from the bottom of his heart, that's why there could be a prayer in the collective but still that prayer in the collective is different from one man to the next.

S. The direction needs to be in the same direction?

R. Yes, of course.

S. For connection in the world?

R. Yes.

Reading excerpt number 5 (01:29:57) “One who assumes the complete Burden..” twice

45. S. (01:33:42) We feel on ourselves the desire for connection above all of the splits and disputes, and in this world can we have complete dependency on the Creator and develop simultaneously this disclosure of relations between people? How can we live in both?

R. Of course, yes, one does not disturb the other. We see people that are also in that, and there are other people that are also in that, and there are few that can be in both at the same time. Why can't we?

46. S. (01:34:42) We are in this effort in prayer as if we completed the prayer. How do we continue? He constantly talks about there not being a cessation in his adhesion, he's talking about this pleas, and the thought of faith, how do we not leave the prayer?

R. If we want to do something in our life so first of all there's nothing else but prayer, nothing, so it turns out that we constantly need to not come out of the prayer but keep going in it more and more, and bug the Creator like a baby, like a child bugging his mother - he wants this and he wants that - until she doesn't know what to do anymore and just gives it to him, what he's asking for. That's how we nhave to be with the Creator.

S. When we make an effort in prayer there's a feeling that the prayer has ended, how do we continue it?

R. It all depends on man. He always needs to depict himself as if he's in the minion, in a ten.

47. S. (01:36:14) How do we take upon ourselves the complete burden of the kingdom of heaven and how is that expressed?

R. That except for being concerned of the benefit of the Creator there is nothing else I need to be concerned about.

48. S. (01:36:38) It is written whoever takes upon himself the kingdom of heaven does not see the heaviness or the weight of the work ,who sees this.

R. That's the person, every friend.

S. Why doesn't he see the difficulty in the work?

R. If he truly takes upon himself the work of the Creator so on the contrary, he sees a means for spiritual upliftment. That's why it's not difficult for him.

S. What is it to truly take upon himself the burden?

R. It means that it's not what he thought about earlier. Now he understands that the spiritual work truly is comprised only from coming closer to the Creator.

S. This can be done by any friend in the ten?

R. Of course of course.

49. S. (01:37:46) Can you describe to us so that we will get accustomed to the Creator? If we do so, how will be our development and our advancement?

R. Only according to coming closer or further from the Creator, only according to that we can measure our state.

50. S. (01:38:31) If we start feeling all that's happening through the Dvekut with the Creator is our perception of reality also changed?

R. Of course, of course it changes.

51. S. (01:39:06) What is the way of confidence that he's talking about there?

R. That there's a feeling of confidence in the Creator, the Creator is organizing everything, that it’s none else besides Him and whatever happens he's still isn't separated from the confidence in the Creator.

S. How does he come to such a state?

R. By closeness.

52. S. (01:39:39) Is our negligence in connection meaning negligence in external actions between us or negligence in the internal work in the time that we are connecting?

R. Both, there cannot be internal work without us organizing things on the outside, and afterwards from outside we go inwards.

S. What internal actions exactly are we negligent in so that we will be able to catch the negligence and rid ourselves of it?

R. By moving away from one another, not supporting one another.

53. S. (01:40:47) It is written, he which are suitable for a person specifically in the narrow and pressured places. How can we seek the Creator even when we are not in these pressured places?

R. About the thief, that specifically in such cases that we don't have any future, then we can cry out to the Creator to help us and to save us and pull us ahead. We can't in any place come out of our state to a higher state without the help of the Creator.

54. S. (01:42:16) If we are lacking faith?

R. Of course the force of faith is always lacking and only through the force of faith we can connect and overcome and move ahead, we are not lacking anything but the force of faith. The force of faith is the force of bestowal that I acquire and then I can balance the force of reception I got or even rise above with the force of faith above the force of reception.

55. S. (01:43:35) You talked about connection in general. Here in the article he's talking about certain tactics. Should we work outside of the ten on these things or only inside the ten?

R. Work inside the ten. It could be that with time we'll have opportunities or all kinds of directions to go out of the borders of the ten, but for now for sure not.

56. S. (01:44:33) After the convention there's no doubt that in this world there’s the people of Israel being disclosed. that the whole goal for this nation to come to adhesion in the quality of bestow and exist in this world. How does this nation, each under his, bring from this land that's meant for them, from the Creator, to take the forces that are there for him so that they will do the work in this world in a more beneficial and efficient way. How do they conquer their land?

R. Land means a desire and conquering the desire is only through the connection between the friends and from everyone together to pray to the Creator, then the Creator gets the forces to be above that desire, just like a person riding a horse that he can manage the horse.

57. S. (01:45:33) There's a desire to come out of the corruption because of states and all that's happening now. How to manage all the corruptions, the internal corruption's inside of us, together with wanting to see the Creator in all of our actions?

R. Only through the connection between us ma’am, only through the connection between us, to be closer to the friends, also in your place, also maybe next to your place, and through that closeness you can feel more forces. You'll need to connect all those forces together, you'll need to aim all this common force to one goal, to adhesion, inner adhesion with the Creator Himself, and then through that you'll advance and discover the world of truth, the true world where we all exist, that isn't concealed from us just as it is now but it will be revealed more and more.

S. Why when there are conventions, why does the Creator bring us closer even more to Him? What force is there in the conventions that this force, there's like a hastening in this force?

R. If we're all connected together with extra force and extra quantity so obviously we affect the Creator and we force Him to help us advance towards Gmar Tikkun. That's why all and all we need to get a deficiency for those conventions and in the conventions try to connect ourselves as strong as we can, that deficiency to connect and the connection will bring us to the goal, to Gmar Tikkun, the end of corrections.

S. We are waiting for you.

R. I hope to nevertheless come to Latin America.

58. S. (01:49:02) We with a friend brought all of the congress, the convention, to our ten, to open our hearts. Each friend revealed a part of what is happening in him and also outside and we finished with a mutual prayer regarding the enemy in our heart. We deepened our connection and finished in absolute silence. Is this how we raise our state above to the Creator in the ten?

R. Yes, that's the right way and the safeway.

S. How do we continue?

R. Only together with us. Only with us together we will continue.
