Part 1:

Rabash. Article No. 28, (1988). What Is, His Guidance Is Concealed and Revealed?

Reading: (00:28) Twice

1. R. Very important article, very deep, profound. I don't know what to tell you, do you want to read it again? This is what I feel from many friends, who's in favor? Whoa whoa whoa, so many, well you'll have to do some work here.

2. S. (01:10:50) What is annulling the authority?

R. The annulment of the authority, it's also as we understand in this world the annulment of control.

S. What control?

R. Man's control, that beforehand he thought that he is in control of the world or at least parts of the world, and now he understands that he has no control and it's correct and good, and he is happy of it and he accepts the annulment of his authority completely let's say.

S. What for?

R. In order, in this to give room to the Creator to control his world.

3. S. (01:11:57) He writes that to work because he is great and ruling is called Lishma.

Why is it for Lishma,sounds egoistic because he is great and ruining so I annul myself before him naturally.

R. Why is it not good that I annul?

S. It's the nature of the small one too I annul before the great one why should it be in his nature why is it called Lishma?

R. But if I reach a state that I reveal that he is the good that does good.He controls everything and 'There's None Else Besides Him' and then I am annulled.

S. Right, because he is great at ruling and because I want to serve him so that he will serve me. Just like a baby annuls before the mother naturally because she serves him and she is the great one and she is the ruler it's the same, why is that Lishma?

R. Lishma, for her sake, because in this he feels the desire of the Creator, and he decides to annul towards Him.

S. Where is my overcoming?

R. Inside.

S. But why?

R. Inside this, you should decide that this is what you want to have.

S. If I already discover what is the force that rules reality it's better for me to annul myself before this force that is ruling reality?

R. Correct.

S. Why is this coming out of this?

R. By what do you reveal this? By this He is great in ruling.

S. Let me ask differently, is it possible to discover that He's great and ruling before we come out of our nature?

R. You want that to be so.

S. I want it but, in order to discover that He is great and ruling, do you first have to be in Lishma and you have to rise above reason?

R. Yes.

S. Then you discover that He is great and ruling?

R. Yes.

S. So it turns out you find out the revelation that He is great and ruling.That is like a testimony, it's like evidence that He is in Lishma?

R. Yes, we have understood one another.

4. S. (01:14:58) He is speaking about how the punishment is a correction, why does he make that difference? What's the difference between what people think? What punishment is and what He wants us to understand through this article?

R. Because there are no punishments. In truth there are no punishments, there are corrections. The Creator doesn't need to punish them, He's not interested in that. He doesn't correct us through punishments.

S. What's the difference between what we think about godliness as a reward and punishment compared to how we see it in the wisdom of Kabbalah? What's the difference?

R. The difference is that there are no punishments in the world, but only the Creator guiding us toward eternity each time, toward the complete thing, the whole thing.

5. S. (01:16:16) He writes that if the Creator would be revealed, we wouldn't need to believe in Him and there wouldn't be any reality that a person could aim in order to bestow, so it turns out that for them to be vessels of bestowal in reality, He always has to be concealed?

R. To the extent that He is concealed there's the ability to develop vessels of bestowal.

S. He's not revealed?

R. He's not revealed, rather you discover vessels of bestowal.

S. What's revelation of the Creator if he's never revealed himself?

R. You have made me and so on and so forth.

S. Why is it like that and what is the revelation of the Creator? if you build him?

R. The revelation of the Creator to the created beings means that the created beings specifically out of all the concealments, is building the Creator.

S. Why does revelation of the Creator annul the ability to have vessels of bestowal in reality?

R. Because well, it's not precisely this way, but, the revelation of the Creator gives the created being and allows a creative being to be on the level of the Creator.

S. Why does it affect the vessels?

R. With which vessels the created being is in?

S. He writes if the Creator is revealed so there's no reality that a person can be in order to bestow, so it turns out that I'll never be revealed?

R. Yes.

S. That's my question, why if the Creator is revealed there's no reason to be in order to bestow?

R. You come to the form of bestowal because you are making it, you are building it and doing it, you're arranging it.

S. You're doing and where is the Creator if you're doing it?

R. You have made him.

S. That's called the Creator what you do?

R. Yes.

6. S. (01:19:40) He describes two systems of providence, two types of laws, the laws that are revealed that we see reward and punishment and more concealed law that gives us an ability to choose the laws of the Torah. It's beautiful how he spreads it out but it's just not clear how both those laws cannot touch each other. How do they still conduct us, could we say that revealed laws are the laws of reception and concealed laws are the laws of bestowal or how is that?

R. It'll come together, let's wait.

S. Because that's what our destiny depends on we also see that these laws that are more revealed maybe belong to the still the more that we ascend to the degree of a human degree let's say. There also let's say those laws are not so clear and then we go into this kind of gray area where not the laws of bestowal not the laws of reception and we are confusing we make mistakes.

R. It'll all get clarified.It will all get clarified.

7. S. (01:21:18) I don't understand why in the place where the Creator remains revealed that's where the reward and punishment is in the place where the Creator should be felt in the lower ones ,then the reward and punishment has to be concealed from the lower ones?

R. To allow for free choice.

S. What is revelation of the Creator or revelation of his reward and punishment?

R. You need to think about it. Those are beautiful questions.

8. S. (01:22:22:) He says that he relates the Creator to the guidance in this world, in the way of judgment. When we connect we feel mercy and we don't feel judgment in that connection between us. It is said as if we take the judgments of this world and unite them and connect it all in the connection between us, is that right?

R. It's not correct but this is our path for the time being this is how it is.

S. How should it be then?

R. We will find out. We will discover it. I don't want to answer all these questions. I want you to discuss them and stew in them when I give an answer. The answer blocks the question and that's it and there's no more development. It's good if you walk with them and think about them and talk with the friends about them, Workshop but there isn't one question here there are many questions. I didn't ask to read it again for nothing.

9. S. (01:24:39) Rabash writes in an interesting way how nature changes, and thanks to our prayer it can change because there is a Landlord. How much force does the prayer have by Kabbalists that can really change the laws of nature?

R. I don't know this word that he said in Russian, it's a lie that's accepted in this world, that if we do nothing then there is a process by which nature develops. Of course that's how it works but this is the path of suffering, and there is nothing original or natural about it. We'll have to understand that nature, in nature there is no path of development rather everything that happens happens around us, it's all happening around us, all the galaxies that you wish to see if you want to see changes and developments in stars and planets and certainly in human society on this planet, all of it are results, reactions to our behavior.

S. There's a concrete example here where he writes about the vinegar and the oil, that she added vinegar and the father said whoever told the oil to burn he should tell the vinegar to burn, so how much can a prayer really change something like that?

R. It's possible that the laws of nature can change, contrary to what we discovered earlier, yes.

S. What should the prayer be? We're speaking about a prayer here, how can it be that strong that it will be aimed correctly?

R. The prayer has to be such that it emerges from the connection between us, and it has to be against corporeal laws of nature, and it has to be corrected using the spiritual laws of nature because we want it to happen, you don't actually make any changes in nature, you simply raise the degree of existence to a higher level. There's no miracles here. It's very simple. Try and you will see.

10. S. (01:28:20) So when I correct my perception so I don't suffer anymore and see that it wasn't a punishment, is that right?

R. Yes.

11. S. (01:29:00) It's written, ‘And I put the vinegar in the candle and it was dark on Sabbath.’ Why is it important that it's lit on Sabbath and what does a candle mean?

R. The candle is typically the soul of man, of the person, the Sabbath is called the connection with the Creator, that's it.

12. S. (01:29:50) We are being developed by a myriad of Reshimot; interactive Reshimot. How does this development, that man, ‘You have made me,’ and how does the Reshimot help us or hinder us, so that we can say that, ‘You have made me.’ What is the relationship?

R. The development of the Reshimot [records] goes according to the plan of creation from the lightest to the heaviest as we see in all the laws of nature, we can only influence the speed in which the records come out but not the order in which they come out, because from the beginning of creation to the end of creation the order of the records is determined according to the development of all the Sefirot and Partzufim and so on and so forth.

13. S. (01:31:10) How can we attain the ability to discern whether we're getting pleasure from the Creator for His pleasure or for our pleasure and what separates the two forms of reception of pleasure that way?

R. The main thing is through the society, if I connect with the society and I turn to the Creator, then my path, the step I take is correct.

14. S. (01:31:53) When the Creator tosses a person from the work and what is that a correction if he just moves away from the correction?

R. Maybe he's moving away from correction but it becomes clear to him that he is further away from the correction and it brings him back to the correct action.

15. S. (01:32:28) The prayer that we have in the ten, does it help us change our perception of reality?

R. Yes.

16. S. (01:33:14) You answered a friend that there are no punishments in the world, but the Creator that leads us to Him. So why in the article does he speak about reward and punishment, is it in order to push us into the work and annul ourselves?

R. Because from there is judgment and mercy and of course we develop through both towards the purpose of creation from the Upper One's perspective there's no other direction except toward correction, so this is how we speak, reward, punishment but in truth it's all in order to bring us to correction.

17. S. (01:34:40) What they say about the Creator, that He is merciful and that's His quality, and you said that He advances us in two paths, also in judgment. So how should we relate to the Creator? What should be the attitude towards one another, only judgment, only mercy, both of them?

R. It has to include both. The Creator is whole, is one whole that includes all the forces and from His side there is nothing bad, only a style of force in order to feel and direct us more correctly, more accurately towards the goal.

S. So why do Kabbalists emphasize that He is the Good and merciful? Why do they emphasize that quality?

R. Because that's what a person should choose when turning to the Creator.

18. S. (01:36:10) I want advice, I don’t have a question.You recommended that we scrutinize questions before us because they're a lot of questions about the article and I guess we're going to do it after the lesson already during the day and then there's a special state here in the room. There's a feeling that we could open it and speak about it and during the day when we study they will be in a different place. So then I have a list of questions here that I wrote. I know that when we're going to start discussing them during the day, it's going to come from a completely different place, not from the state that we're in?

R. But you wrote it, so what do you want now?

S. So I'm asking, how should we ask these questions during the day and supposedly restore or hold the state now because we're going to be in a different state during work each one on their break, this will all be in reason already and not in the place we're in now. So how to scrutinize in the right place but not right now like you explained?

R. I don't know what to tell you, what to answer, what's burning for you so much?

S. I am asking what is the advice?

R. There is no advice there isn't because a few minutes ago you started to raise your hand and not before that and not after reading the article and not when others asked. So it's so important to you and that's why you are pressuring?

S. I'm trying to realize what you recommended. You said there are a lot of questions that I don’t want to answer all of them, so scrutinize them between you. So that is what I want to talk about, how to scrutinize between us?

R. I don't know, scrutinize it, you have all kinds of different forms of connection, when you connect, you speak during the day. So scrutinize it. I'm not going to get into it.
