1. Rav’s Introduction: Yes, our work should be only with the intention because the deed, the act itself means nothing. I can receive, I can give, the question is with which intention, that is, why am I doing it? This testifies to the nature of the action either, I'm giving or I am receiving, it could be I'm receiving however in truth to the essence of the action, it is giving or the other way around that I'm giving. However, according to the essence of the action it is an act of reception. This is why everything is measured through the intention and we should only talk about the intention. This is why the created beings that are connected, incorporated that include both an action of receiving or giving and also an intention which is either for myself or for the others, that work is complex work even though there aren't so many things here but because the intention and the action can be a in contradiction to one another. If we want to rise above the simple action in itself and to be in the essence, the nature of the action that is the intention then here we already have a problem. How do we constantly keep adhered? How do we measure ourselves according to the intention?

Only according to that do we look at reality and then it turns out that it's like in a computer when we switch from one screen to another screen. In one screen we see the world of actions, of give-and-take and on the other screen we see intentions for myself or for others and behind the others stands the Creator. Then we are here with great confusion because our desires keep changing and then we have to always assemble on top of them that same intention to bestow in a different way, according to the desire. That is our work until we finish assembling the intention to bestow upon all of our desires and this is called the end of correction of our actions. Therefore, it's not simple and each and every time again and again we feel ourselves attached to the action and we have to disconnect from the action and relate ourselves to the intention. This is called the degree of Adam, the still, vegetative and animate, those degrees follow the desire. The degree of Adam it awakens and becomes established in us according to the intention. This is why all of my work should be in that I actually come out of myself, out of my actions and first of all I establish my intention in order to bestow and later on I check what is possible for me to do in order to add as many as of my actions as possible, to that actually to bestow.

Meaning I already have before me this work where I restrict myself all together and about this it says sit and do nothing is better, then I try to aim myself in what does it mean in order to bestow, the intention that is in order to bestow and then which action can I add to it to the intention of in order to bestow. This is how I do it, that is it's not the action that is important rather than the intention first of all and then the actions that I can add to the intention as this is what determines. Therefore, it turns out that a person may do a lot of things, the essence of his actions could be not positive but negative and here we need to check ourselves. If we want to establish our intention, our spiritual vessel which is measured entirely according to the intention, in practice, it turns out that I need to depict to myself, the heart of the group, that is standing here before me and I want to get in there, inside this heart, that I want to join this heart and to be in it as much as possible to invest in it and to strengthen it. That for sure I will advance in practice also in the right way.

2. S. (7:02) How can you measure intention without actions?

R. This is a correct question: how, in general, can you measure the intentions and how can you even measure the ascents? This we still cannot do. To measure these things, we learned this already only in the work in degrees. When we begin to sort within us the coarseness of Shoresh, Aleph, Bet, Gimmel, Dalet and according to that, also the actions we are capable of doing in order to bestow and according to that the light. That is the revelation of the nature of the action and this is still ahead of us.

S. What is to join the intention to the action, what joins the action to the intention?

R. That first of all, I established myself in order to bestow. I imagined myself that this is what I want, and then I search with what action can I establish, implement my intention of bestowal? Then I realized that this could be only on the condition that I add myself, join myself into the heart of the groups. That in the group, inside of it, there is a heart and actually Creator arranges this heart and He exists inside of the heart and when I enter the heart of the group, and maybe for me this heart is still hidden, blocked, locked, however I try to somehow detect my friends are there, in adhesion even before me. And now I need to enter into the heart of the group of the 10 and there I want, if not to meet with the Creator, to feel Him, discover Him then at least through that give Him contentment. Later on, I will also discover Him. It's all inside of the group, inside the heart of the group. That is, in connection, the heart of the group is the connection of our intentions. The desires do not matter, our desires are certainly different. However, the intentions over the desires are where they all connect, there, in mutual bestowal, and the result of mutual bestowal is considered for the Creator, this is what I want to reach.

3. S. (10:19) How to enter correctly into the heart of the group and locate the desires of the friends, there, intentions of the friends?

R. This is a problem. This is very complicated work, very complex, and this work is prolonged until I work against my ego and subjugate it, I bend it through the reforming light -- it's not that I do it by myself -- and I begin to feel that my desire in itself is saying I want it, eventually at the end. I want it, to connect with the hearts of the friends and to discover inside of their hearts that common source of ours in which our heart will rejoice. In whom we can connect, not outside of the Creator but only in the Creator, there is the source of our connection. In that way we reach the center of creation, its central point.

S. Can we say that the intention in order to bestow is the connection with the heart of the 10?

R. Yes, the heart of 10 includes all of our intentions in mutual bestowal between us and to the Creator.

4. S. (12:33) Can our intention change the result of our actions in the connection in the group?

R. Of course, the intention changes everything. The intention well let's say you have a screen of a computer and you see a picture there, one picture. Then you press a button, a key on which it says ‘intention’ and then everything you see on your screen, well, the screen changes, and now it is showing you a picture, an image of intentions. Let’s say you have 10 people, 10 friends and each one is giving to the other, receiving from the other. Each one is involved in some mutual actions, interactions with the other, and now instead of actions you see their intentions on that next screen. Then you can see how different it is. The Creator, all in all - spirituality, is on the screen of intentions, and corporeality is on the screen of the actions. We eventually need to take into account only the screen of intentions. The screen of the actions, giving as well as reception in practice, whatever they are, the most important is that they will all be in order to bestow. Then it is considered that we are 100% corrected in bestowal. Help me to find other examples.

5. S. (14:47) It seems like there is no possibility of finding the pure intention, is it correct to stop looking inside of myself but to try to locate it only in the heart of the group?

R. It is true. We need to search for the correct actions only outside of our heart, yes. In us, there can be no correction in 10, no correct intention. Each and every time we need to begin from a state which is corrupted, broken, and bring it to a corrected state. Once we reach the corrected state it exists for only a second, truly. It is then replaced by another corrupted state. So that once again we will correct it and that way a penny and a penny adds up to a great amount until we begin to see the results of our corrections as a constant picture, an image which is always replaced but we already have some foundation of forms of bestowal. This is how we advance.

6. S. (16:20) Are there situations or actions let's say that are equal to the intentions and what are they?

R. There are actions that exist entirely in the intention or on a degree of Adam, human and all of the actions that are still, vegetative and animate, we don't consider that there is an intention there, because the intention then comes from above. And it is entirely for the benefit, towards the benefit of that object that keeps it. On the level of the still, vegetative and animate, there cannot be an intention to bestow but rather naturally they were created in such a way that they're all in order to receive for their own benefit. Only the degree, the fourth degree, the degree of Adam is built to begin with in such a way that it operates through the forces of nature, through the Creator in order to reach the intention to bestow, in order to reach identification with the Creator. Man’s intention is the most important and in general the degree of Adam does not belong to this world. Therefore, in this world it turns out that we are actually destroying this world while we are in the intention to receive. And it is all in order to scrutinize how much we have to change ourselves, to correct ourselves. Our whole purpose and the purpose of our existence is only to reach the intention to bestow and to live in the intention. That is, if now we are living in the action and we are trying to add to it, once in a while, some intentions to bestow because we have the intention to be receive, to begin with, and we need to reach the opposite form, a difference screen, a different image where all of our work and all of our existence, really, will be only with the intention of bestowal and according to our ability to add to that image, to that intention to bestow, each time new actions. In the wisdom of Kabbalah, we learn that there are restrictions, a screen and reflected light. Then we scrutinize which actions can we perform in such a way. Such that all of our actions will be under the control of the intention to bestow.

S. What sort of actions would that be in the group? Are there signs that we can see what we're talking about? What are those signs, those actions that you're talking about?

R. In the end, it's something simple. According to the form, according to this scheme, this image that we need to connect with the intentions of the friends towards connection and find inside these intentions, the source: where are we drawn to? Towards the Creator. The Creator is that, how should I say it, He does not exist, He is Bo Reh, ‘come and see.’ It is that source that we establish as it says, ‘you made me.’ We establish Him in the connection between us because imagine to yourself that indeed the Creator does not exist, there is no Creator. Unless we establish Him between us in the right way. We make him. As it says, ‘You have made me.’ It's forbidden to speak this way on the street, people won't understand what we have in mind. Well, there is the general light that is managing the whole of reality as well as us, however, if you want to discover the Creator then it comes as a result of our efforts.

7. S. (21:35) What's the difference between having intention in order to bestow to the 10 or in order to bestow to humanity or in order to bestow to the Creator?

R. These intentions to bestow to the 10, and to humanity and the Creator, they clothe one on top of the other like -- there is this babushka, an international term, as we call it. We have this small doll and you put it inside of a bigger doll and then yet inside of a bigger doll, this is how they do it in Russia for the children. These are the three degrees that we have to work on with the intention, in the 10, and then in the intention inside of humanity, and then already we reach the correct form of the Creator. However, in the 10, we nevertheless discover Him already in the right form but it's just not complete because the Creator operates through humanity and through, in general, the whole of nature, all the degrees of nature, the five worlds.

8. S. (23:25) How can I work to bestow myself to my friend but I cannot arrange my friends for myself. How do we come to mutual bestowal in this condition?

R. Don't you worry, the friend is bestowing to you and this is not according to your desire or according to his desire but according to how the Creator is calibrated and aiming him, this is how he is bestowing to you. We have to understand and take into account that whatever we do in order to connect in the center of the ten and to find there the connection between us that exists in advance. This connection exists in advance however we are searching for it and it is actually searching for the Creator. This is the source. And as much as we try to reach that, where is that part of the 10? It has to be this way. This is how nature is built. So according to that, we gradually reach, detecting, locating this state, this place. A place is a desire, a common desire between us. This is how we detect, we locate the Kli in which later on the Creator is revealed as inner light inside of this vessel.

9. S. (25:16) We are learning the intention so we'll be able to enter the study of TES but in the last 11 years, there is a book of Baal HaSulam that is called Beit Shaar HaKavanot, The House of the Gate of Intentions. We've barely touched it all these years. I want to know why?

R. In truth, we hardly studied this book with Rabash. I learned with him, just me and him. In this book, there is nothing special. It is called Beit Shaar HaKavanot, The House of the Gate of Intentions because Baal HaSulam wanted to write an introduction to the prayer book, the Siddur (?). The way a person turns to the Creator, this Siddur, the prayer book, itself, he didn't write it. And the introduction to the prayer book he wrote as this book, The House of the Gate of Intention. When he was in England, he sat there and he wrote this book. They actually paid him -- that's why he wrote it not just for the money -- but rather there was an opportunity for him to sit and write. Because he was paid for the writing of this prayer book but as for the prayer book itself, he realized after he wrote his book that he cannot write it, that it will be in contradiction to many other prayer books that were written before. He let go of this and what we have left is only this book. The Gatehouse of Intentions. We will study it, it's not a difficult book. It's actually very pleasant to read and we can have a lesson about it, yes, I'm not against it. I'm not against any of this but the most important thing for us is we will only establish the intention for the study in the right way, then the study will bear fruit for us. Because a study without the intention is just dead. it won't bring us the result that we will discover the Creator and connect with Him.

10. S. (28:10) Please say whether the intention can be in order to bestow in still vegetative and animate?

R. Yes, when you are going to use the world in its degrees of still vegetative and animate it is all in order to fulfill, to sustain your body because you use the still, vegetative, and animate in order to give your body which is on the animate level exist, to live. Then you can also do that with the intention to where you are reviving your body in order to be on the degree of Adam on the higher degree in order to bestow to others, to bestow to others and through them to the Creator.

S. Is there a necessity all together for external actions or can we only be in intentions?

R. Until we reach true spiritual actions we cannot be without physical actions, how will we give and take from one another? How will we understand one another, all of our actions will be in order to receive? In order for us to organize our relations in order to bestow, we need to first of all start with actions that are in order to bestow, that's how we get organized in the group and in the group, I already need to work with restrictions over my will to receive. Look at the little children, they don't want to play with the other. They don't understand what it means to play with the other until the age of two let’s say, this is how a human being learns. Later on, they start to see that it's possible to play with the other and out of this play they can actually get greater pleasure than from playing by themselves. This is how we develop and therefore on the degree of the still, vegetative, and animate in mutual bestowal to one another, we learn how to enter this world of bestowal. This is why it says, go make a living out of each other. What does it mean to go make a living out of each other? That we will feel the need and this is how the Creator created this world for us to feel the need, that we need one another. In primitive societies, thousands of years ago each and every family live by itself and it didn't need to connect with the other families and later on as mankind developed each one started having a different profession, one is a tailor, the other one is a carpenter, a shoemaker one is a baker and the other one is a doctor. People understood in such a form that it's worthwhile for them to be an expert in one thing and by this they can serve each other even from the side of our ego, it's worthwhile for us to do so and in such a way we build our society. The Reshimot, the records we have from the shattering came from a single vessel. When they unfolded it became revealed after the shattering, as they actually forced us to build a society that is more interconnected to one another and this is how we develop. This is on the physical level and the continuation of this physical development is that we reach the spiritual development there, science developed, psychology, medicine, and all kinds of things. Later on, we already begin to demand more than that. We start searching for the upper force. That's a different conversation altogether, quite complex but we will reach it.

S. A person who came to a spiritual degree, the first one, will it be enough for him to lay on his couch and remain in some intention in a request without carrying out external actions whatsoever?

R. In principle yes, however we are at the last stage of Adam HaRishon where everyone eventually will need to connect in tens from ten to ten, ten to one hundred, from hundreds to thousands and thousands to billions and in such a way we will finish the correction. This connection from tens, hundreds, thousands, etc., needs to be physical to some extent. That is, between us between Bnei Baruch and then around the whole of humanity will already be able to connect in a more virtual manner. We will see how it will become organized. Soon you will see it in practice how it becomes this way. Humanity is advancing towards that. We don't need places of work for everyone anymore, we do not need to get a paycheck like before, for our work. We are going to see the changes that will happen, great changes in human society. It is not in order to arrange a new human society for us but rather in order to arrange for us the corrections that need to take place in the general vessel of Adam HaRishon towards the end of correction, it's a very interesting process and you will start to see it happening at the depth of creation. It is truly a Hollywood film, really something special, the Creator is arranging for us a very beautiful adventure.

11. S. (35:39) It intrigues me, what is the exact turning point where actions turn into intentions?

R. This is what I started talking about now in the beginning of the lesson, that if I can imagine to myself the spiritual center of the group where our hearts are connected, that is our intentions. I want to reach the center of the 10 and incorporate there. It is like the story of Rabbi Yossi ben Kisma, even though he was with weak, silly students such that those who really don't understand anything and it didn't matter because for him this was where he was incorporated in where he could reach contact with the Creator. Without that place, without connection with the hearts of his students, he could not reach it, this is all of his work. That's why he says, how can I leave my students and go to a different town, even if they pay me there, it doesn't matter how much, I can’t because here is my spiritual vessel, so how can I replace a spiritual vessel with sacks of gold? This is what we need to relate in such a way to the center of the 10. That it doesn't matter if I look at the friends, they do not even see what I'm talking about. However, I need to try in such a way to locate this spiritual place where the points of our hearts exist. It is as we learned about it in the article free choice, The Freedom or the Arvut, the Mutual Guarantee that the Creator brings a person to the good fate and he says take that, this is yours. A person needs to grow stronger and incorporate in that place and it takes years upon years until one truly starts to feel that this place exists. This place is in the air, it is spiritual, it is not physical and there to begin with the hearts his friends exist and they themselves don't even know about it just like Rabbi Yossi ben Kisma, as his students did not know what he was thinking about, what he was talking about. However, this is how it works because it already stems from the source of creation from the shattering of Adam HaRishon.

12. S. (39:12) You said to search for the correct action outside our heart, why not search it in our heart?

R. I don't know what I talked about, that you're asking in such a way, please explain, what did I say that you're asking about in such a way, actions outside of our heart, did I say that?

S. I heard to seek the common heart.

R. With my heart in the center of my desires with my innermost desire, I search for where is the center of the connection of the intentions of the group. I don't look at the friends externally. I want to detect this thing, that it exists because the Creator brought me here and says take that and he put my hand on this good fate, in order for me to find it, in order for me to take it in order for me to adhere here to it, to that place, that concept. This is what I need to find, this is what I meant.

13. S. (40:56) Intention is it a choice of a person or does it come from above? Is it as a result of prayer or the work in the group? Can you say that there is any choice at all in this matter?

R. No there is no choice, there is only choice in strengthening as he says as Baal HaSulam says all of our work is in strengthening that the Creator puts a man’s hand on the good fate and he says take it and he pressures the person so that the person will take it. However, it doesn't do anymore, he can't do any more otherwise there will be no free choice. It is considered free choice because we can add in the direction that the Creator is guiding us, we can add our efforts. It's like you put a baby on two feet to walk and you give him a little bit of a push for him to walk a little bit more and a little bit more so we need to try to walk forward by ourselves. Of course, we fall and we cry and once again the Creator stands us on both feet to go forward and this is how it works, it is exactly like this with the baby.

S. But our free choice is actually to remain in the group to remain in the 10?

R. To strengthen in that, even though I rejected for months maybe even for years, I don't find myself as connected with them but nevertheless I do it out of lack of choice and against my desire and nevertheless I do continue and eventually this is called, a penny and a penny add up to a great amount because this is how the light needs to join, to accumulate all the sparks in order for me to start feeling some action there, the essence of the action. Before that I just do it truly like an animal. I get up for the lesson, I turn on my computer, I listen, I take part in all kinds of actions. It's years, over many years that a person has to do it because we begin to establish my soul on the level of the still, vegetative, animate and then the speaking. So, on the level of the still, it takes many actions and these are actions on the level of the still, just like a universe it developed for billions of years until it was established and geological processes started on the face of the earth and until it came to the still, when the planet earth was established stabilized then it reached the vegetative and then the animate and only then the speaking. We have to go through all of these processes also inside our soul, in positioning our soul in the right way, to recover it, to restore our soul. This is how we advance.

14. S (45:08). Which mutuality can we expect from the friends in establishing our intention? What is the reciprocity in this work?

R. What is mutual is that each of us seeks the spiritual center of the 10 within the center, we need to start and the Creator said search for it. He put my hand on the good fate so I will search and be incorporated in that spiritual center of the 10, that's the one heart as we call it and one intention. I am drawn to that as much as I can, as much as I press myself to be drawn to this, as much as I think about this more and more I come closer to this even though I don't want to, I do it. They say that the best action is for you to start writing, take a piece of paper, that you need to come to the center of the 10 to the heart of the 10 to the internal central point of the 10. Start like that, where in such a way you are constantly, constantly driving yourself, helping yourself with such a thing. Habit becomes second nature, all of a sudden you start to feel that you're close to this thought, you are ready for it somewhat, you're willing to do it to feel it eventually. We are starting from the degree of still, vegetative, animate and the degree of speaking the spiritual one is built in many of those recurring actions that happen. How does a person grow, from what actions, how does the actions of a computer, those wise actions of the computer take place, a 0 and a 1 and only those actions between them, there's no more than that. In the foundation of all of our actions there are things that are just light and vessel. Some leaping spark.

15. S. (47:44) In which film are we living, is this the reality this film?

R. The real reality is above your movie, the movie you're in is in your head and it seems to you that you're living in that movie, that there's a real world around you and a lot of people and something's happening to them. That's the film you're living in, spirituality is no longer in that movie, spirituality is the world of Truth, whereas it’s the force of the Creator which you obtained and live in, and in this force, you discover that this is the true eternal reality above time, motion and space above all these limitations we have in this world and that's something different. It is only force.

S. Who's the director of my film?

R. Your ego is now sorting out your movie, it is directing your movie. This is why we need to come out of this movie and enter into the world of truth. Why is it called the truth? Because that's where you will feel what true actions are, the forces in nature all together which is the force of bestowal against the force of reception. Because otherwise we will not see or feel ourselves existing, only the difference between those two forces, only difference and then joining together, will we feel the Creator, the source of reality. As much as we can join two contradictive forces, this is how we would reveal him in a more complete manner, until we become adhered to him. What does it mean to truly be adhered to him in a complete way, I cannot tell you. I am not there yet, we are in a generation that must reach it.

16. S. (50:24) Is this actually the point of Bina where we only want to bestow in our intention?

R. I can't explain about that now, yet because I'm afraid I will confuse people and I don't understand why the point of Bina that you would call it that way, will give you more discernment then what we are saying is our common heart of the group. The spiritual source of ours, which to start with the whole ten comes from there and we need to return to there.

S. What's confusing is that we always speak as if we want to be as one man with one heart so what does one man refer to then?

R. That's how we say it. It is a verse you say, how should we say, it is a sentence of sorts as, One Man with One Heart where we can depict it in such a way so it will be understood to everyone just like the heart of a person as if the heart of a person operates the person, this is how we want to be in one heart and some mechanism that will operate all of us as one mechanism so we will all feel that we all belong to him and he's activating us all of us.

17. S. (52:12) Are there any actions in our world that are clothed in the intention to bestow and like the Masser?

R. No. All these things we do only in order to advance toward spirituality but nevertheless in the intention there is still in order to receive, that I benefit from them and I need to replace here the profit I have meaning that I truly earned spiritually by giving. There are not too many actions in this world that we can do and from that receive a spiritual benefit, we cannot. Let's say I did actions towards Rabash, so I changed my car in order to drive him around. Well of course I paid for the gas and all kinds of things. I wanted it as much as possible to invest, of course it was still from my physical desire to be rewarded and succeed in advance and spirituality, it wasn't in order to bestow, truly, but it nevertheless was in order to reach spirituality. The way I depict it was in a false way, that I will have something from it and then for it to invert to such a desire that I want to come to spiritual actions where I will be able to bestow and it will truly be bestowal and though I won't be able to now, but I am paying in order to come to such a quality of action.

S. This is partially connected to what you said once that we already are in the intention but in the meantime, it is hidden from us but it is like some kind of potion?

R. It is for myself so that I can perform actions you see, because you're not aware of the system, you don't know where it leads you to. Why do we have to have work in the 10 so you're completely disconnected from the council's and advice of the Kabbalists. That is what your intellect is leading you to, do you understand what you're coming to? Just look what happens behind that. Behind that you leave us, and you go to your life, you all of your philosophy.

18. S. (55:28) What are the vessels or the tools we use in order to correct the intention? Can this happen out of our effort or thought?

R. We have records of the shattering from Adam HaRishon and these records that are in each and every one of us, pushes the desires of each and every one to come to the same form as we were in Adam HaRishon. However, on the way to return to that same form we need now after the shattering to acquire a screen. Meaning an anti-egoistic force that will help us connect above our egos, where we were connected in Adam HaRishon through the force of the Creator. We need that same force of distancing between us to be changed into a force of unification and connection between us, meaning change the coarseness to refinement. through the work in exertion in acquiring a screen, reflected light and connection above our ego. Then we come to a state in which we place the force of connection we have and build the spiritual world above this physical world, two worlds and this is how we built this against that.

19. S. (58:20) How does a common intention form in the 10 and how do we keep this constantly?

R. A common intention in the 10 is built slowly, slowly by connections between us that we try to go above all the differences and see how we too, although only each of us feels only himself but to the extent of somehow we come closer to states that we learn what the system is, that we're all connected to one another is and although it's very difficult for us it will take a long time, maybe more until we feel that we are in a connection between us in one heart. However, it is a must that it will happen especially as we are in the last generation. And there will be many more efforts and disputes and many people that will despair and leave all together. Eventually we will discover ourselves wanting to advance. That specifically there in the center of the connection between us, that is where the Creator is and he is concealed from us behind our desires, where if we cancel our private desires and want to connect together to that same point then we reveal him and he says how much longer do I have to wait for you, to receive you and then he receives us. That's what stands before us.

20. S. (01:01:00) We connected together with Hebrew 10 since we need to have a preparation for on Friday and it's about how do we build the intention we tried to connect in order to put together the message and give it to the whole world Kli and we really felt inner resistance it is like a block a barrier between us, and we could not break the shell of the ego even though we realized?

R. What is the question asked with a short sentence?

S. Overcome the ego that is separating between us in order to build an intention to bestow for the world Kli?

R. By the importance of the connection between you.

S. You explained that we need to invert all of these processes of the still, vegetative and animate because this is the natural phenomenon but we are the generations?

R. We have been through still, vegetative, and animate and now what's before us is only the last generation and intention between us that is without the proper sharing between us, we will not survive this is what nature is teaching us for the time being. We will not survive if we don't start to connect in a way that each is not in a technical connection with one another like still, vegetative and animal but on the degree of where we need to be in connection with others. This means that I need to understand that my life depends on others and they are a result of the connection between everyone, and this is how we are all slowly, slowly affected by the pandemic and all kinds of problems, even wars. We are now going to learn how dependent we are on one another and therefore no one defines one's fate. Now countries, people, nations think that they need to build walls between them and that's how they can get along. Rather they need to understand that only through the connection between them specifically that, they come to eternal life. not just in this world but altogether complete whole eternal life. That is what humanity needs to discover. Let's hope I don't think it's going to be revealed for these wars but rather more by these forces like the pandemic and others in which we are feeling more and more how it works in a more general concealed way from us, where we are truly helpless against such attacks. I think that we are yet to feel such things.

S. How do we develop actions that are necessary in order for us to return this process into a continuum that will advance us to get closer to the Creator?

R. I can only answer you again by engaging with the intention of our connection in a more and more increasing manner. That's it, I have nothing else to add.

21. S. (01:05:27) In order for the friend to be able to work and establish the right intentions, should the 10 tell each and every friend what it is expecting from him?

R. Delicately try to tell each and every one because it's best if a person comes to the recognition of evil alone or at least show him a little bit how you are in connection between you. That he is not yet. but he needs to reveal that as well on his own.

S. Is it correct for the 10 when each friend has something else if that is moving him if one is moved by envy and honor one by passion, does it matter?

R. That is not important, there are a selection of reasons and he himself doesn't know it and doesn't understand and can't exactly locate it, that's not important. The main thing is to know that from all of his forces of his soul he will be able to eventually discover the center of the 10 .10 or 8 there and incorporate them.

22. S. (01:07:05) About this comment about the center, each one of us needs to invest a certain amount of actions in order to reach there or do we have to acquire the intentions in order to bestow?

R. Inquire the intention that I want to incorporate in the center of the 10 and there truly I lose myself and then in place of me conceding my I, I receive for that from the 10 my spiritual vessel. Maybe even my Sefira inside the 10 Sefirot inside this Partzuf of the soul. For that I need to know for that what I need to come to you to replace all of my exertion with me discovering my adhesion to the Partzuf of the soul that the Creator has established in advance, that I together with everyone there come to the common link that we have in which we reveal adhesion to the Creator.

23. S (01:08:34) You described the first stage in shaping the right intention before we come to an action, the question is if I have a hard time in this transition between restrictions and shaping the personal intention then is it a personal request individual one?

R. Let's say so.

S. Or should I depict something else here?

R. Try to depict exactly what we are talking about, that is the most correct.

24. S. (01:09:15) When we try to enter the common heart, the feeling comes that this is a broken vessel or we don't have the forces, so the importance of the action disappears, suddenly all kinds of thoughts come and distract us from it, so how can we stay with the correct focus and intention towards the right goal?

R. Raise the importance of the goal. Raise the importance of the action as much as possible. That is by mechanical connection as we are in the imagination of a world that is tangible. It is given to us with our senses below the intention to bestow, below spirituality. That's why we still have a feeling in this world as if it exists, this is called the imaginary world but it was given to us so that we will try to strengthen and live in it and observe in it connection between us and from there we will rise to the spiritual connection.

25. S. (01:10:31) What is to start working? You said once that we start working in secret, in the state of secret. Is the intention enough to start working in secret and secret?

R. I don't know what it is to work in secret but the fact that we need to work on the intention that's correct.

26. S. (01:11:04) How do we check our common intention, is it only the outcome of our action or do we have a tool that we can measure it?

R. Our common intention is built by the upper light to the extent where each of us annuls his “I”, his ego and then the upper light builds from this, one intention and we joined to this intention our desires. Then turn out just like in this world where we have the intention in order to receive, we can join our forces, in spirituality, the intention in order to bestow, we can also join our desires to and this is how we work. However, we do discover the true world as a result of that where we truly exist for the time being we are now in an imaginary world which actually does not exist other than our senses. We did such a leap into the center of the 10 that you need to be impressed sufficiently by this and correctly and now to work on this alone. We will continue a little more in our verses, of course, otherwise we will not advance.

Excerpt 5 (01:20:32 - 01:22:09)

27. R. That is the state we do reveal that we are in, where instead of me thinking that I will overcome, or I can't overcome, in place of me thinking each time it will be easier that it becomes harder. I don't know how to come out of this. What do we do? We pray as this is what the Creator on purpose does to us, these drills so that we will understand we are dependent upon the upper light and only by him bestowing upon us. Illuminating us with your life we shall see light. Only in such a way can we overcome all of the obstacles along the way. The Creator is creating these obstacles by himself and intensifying the difficulty for us along the way so that we will turn to him for help each time more and more until we feel that we are completely dependent upon him with everything. Then from that way at last come to the truth, to adhesion. As there is no greater form of adhesion then that which the embryo has when it is in its mother's womb. Then he already starts to grow and take on his own volume or shape until he emerges from the mother, growing up outside of the mother. In spirituality we need to come to a stage where we are not only disconnecting from the Creator, we are not disconnecting in the form of our will to receive. We feel ourselves as disconnected from him and in the form of the desire to bestow with the intention above that we feel more and more adhered to him. Those two contradicting forces need to grow within us in the right relationship between them.

28. S. (01:24:49) A person gets tired of the work in those moments. What should you do?

R. Take a vacation.

S. You said you should pray, what should you pray for when he's tired and fed up?

R. I asked for the importance of my work, there is no such thing as being tired or fatigued. It is a matter of the degree of the animal where there is fatigue. The biological body has fatigue but, in our desires, there is no such thing that a person is tired of his desire, it is a lack of attraction to the goal. We need to ask for us to have more desire and more strength, more force and interest and more of a deficiency.

S. When he writes that it is better with a little bit of intention what is a little bit?

R. That even a little bit of intention is much better than a thousand actions without intention.

S. What is a little bit of intention?

R. Even the smallest bit of intention, if it connects you to the group, to the Creator, to humanity, to the world of bestowal. Then it is better than all that you have in the desire to receive. This is something that is in the spiritual plane on a higher level, this is where it is written it is better to be in a tail, to the lions goes to head to the foxes.

29. S. (01:26:42) Can we even try to overcome or to simply ask?

R. To ask is to also to overcome.

S. Asking really means to overcome?

R. Yes.

30. S. (01:27:05) When a person is under burdening and all he can do is say something and the Creator doesn’t answer?

R. So he comes to the group and tries to cancel himself towards them as much as he is capable, let him fall before them and that is it. That is also beneficial and advances I know stand you right there.

31. S. (01:27:33) We have these states where the upper light truly stomps on our will to receive, to use it and then we come to this prayer and then we understand what is the right intention?

R. Yes.

Excerpt 6 (01:28:24 - 01:29:59)

32. R. We can continue during the course of the day to read these excerpts and if there are questions, they can even ask later.

Excerpt 7 (01:30:27 - 01:31:55) twice

33. R. We are now approaching the study of TES. Then what do we need? What do we need to think of the study? Meaning not to know what is written, but rather what are we obligating. Meaning to, look what he is using for the word here, that the student must pledge to strengthen himself.

Reader continues “To strengthen himself in the face of the Creator....”

34. R. (01:32:32) Meaning I am studying, I am investing to receive a result, these results must be clear to me to which I am directing myself.

Reader continues “In this way he will be rewarded with benefiting from the light in...”

35. R. (01:32:54) Meaning of the results of the study is light that influences me if I direct and aim to word it.

Reader continues “And the strength and faith will grow in the remedy to...”

36. R. (01:33:12) Meaning my intention in order to bestow for me that I want, that shall be, that shall grow and be revealed more and more as a result of the study. That in the study and not by for my mind but rather as a desire, for my heart.

Reader continues “even one who knows about himself that he has not been revised....”

37. R. (01:33:53) If he places his heart and mind to be rewarded in faith, in the course of bestowal.

Reader continues” There is no greater reward than that...”

38. R. (01:34:17) Meaning only by this, that we are organizing together and studying together in order to be rewarded with the influence, the bestowal from the study, that we will receive from the study the force of bestowal, the intention to bestow.

Reader continues “It therefore follows that a person must make a great....”

39. S. (01:35:09) It's not clear what it means to strengthen himself with the faith of the creator?

R. That I want more and more to be certain that only by this but I study correctly. That I will receive a connection with the Creator correctly. That I will receive a connection with the Creator.

40. S. (01:35:39) Can I ask more specifically? When the Creator takes away the faith in the Creator what should I do?

R. First of all, for us to begin with there is no face and we don't talk about it, the faith, the connection disappears, desire, egoistic but faith is the force of this trouble that comes to us as the result of the correct study and if we think about that, the faith in the time of the study and each and every word that we are reading, studying, and learning that I am directing myself. Only through this will I receive the force of faith, the force of bestowal that this will be my salary, not that I shall know more about what is written. It's not important to us whether someone even understands the language or not because the entire study is the remedy. I am thinking during the time of the study, that I am sitting in the lesson thinking about the purpose of the study, the goal of it. Then it can influence me even if I don't even hear a word of the study. I will just receive the force from it, the force of bestowal, this is what is important to me.

41. S. (01:37:19) To be rewarded with faith, is this something we should be understanding on our own, that we have been rewarded with?

R. To feel the force of faith is to feel the force of bestowal, faith is bestowal, in the meantime as such. Later on, we will see in this many different forms and manners, I need only to think how I will as a result of this study be able to bestow to the friends and along with the friends to bestow to the Creator.

42. S. (01:38:23) It is written that we should strengthen ourselves in faith, what is the connection between this faith and the revelation of the heart in the center of the 10 which we spoke about?

R. It is revealed there as much as I make an effort to connect with the friends in the center of the 10, in this specifically, in this action I reveal the source, that from there reaches the upper bestowal bringing me the force of bestowal and then I begin to become similar to the Creator.

43. S. (01:39:12) The reward is the force of bestowal, so what is the greatest punishment?

R. The greatest punishment is concealment, just like we also learned this from the articles of Shamati that the Creator is concealed from the creature is the greatest punishment that there is in reality in general.

Excerpt 8 (01:39:53 - 01:41:27) twice

44. R. Greatness of the Creator as a result of the study, as a result of the actions in the group that is what I want and the greatness of the Creator will bring me subjugation to my will to receive and I will fall before the group and before the Creator, able to perform all that is necessary for their benefit.

45. S. (01:41:55) You said the study is the remedy so do understand this wisdom can promote the student to advance in bestowal?

R. Of course it is written as such in many places. It is written that the wise one does not learn, if you want to learn spirituality it is not in wisdom, it is only by the directness of the heart, how much you want to correct your heart, to bestow, to connection, because there in connection and bestowal to others, there is where you received the revelation of spirituality, the revelation of the Creator. There are many people in many different circles who learn TES and other things, that they study a lot, but that they don't direct themselves to a spiritual vessel, to the intention to bestow. That this is not the main thing for them. because of this their revelations are very few, they can speak all nicely, wisely about TES. about any other wisdom about how the light goes up in the light was down, the records, the screen, the coarseness, all of them mechanics. The essence of the actions that must bring the force of bestowal, to this they do not yearn and we have learned even if we remove this intention during the time of the study that we were as before the study, that we were in it but during the study that we forgot, it no longer works. The upper light influences us, the intention brings us the force of bestowal, the force of Bina, the spiritual force, only on the condition that we will all the time want in connection with the upper light.

There must be study here, yes, but what do I want as a result of the study. I want from the study to resemble the same actions that I am learning about, to resemble the actions of bestowal. This is what I am requesting. In the study, I must be, all the time, in prayer, but I want to have the ability to perform such actions, not that I want to know now in my beastly mind what the book is writing, what is written in the book. This is very important and because of this it is written that a thousand will enter the study room and only one emerges to the light, to illumination. If we want us all to enter and all to come out to illumination then this must be in our time as the last generation, then this is only by the correct intention. Not to know what is written, but to yearn for the force that the study brings to us. I can sit and listen to not understand a thing, it is not important, men and women and everyone, all of the people of the world, it does what level of IQ they are in, whether they are wise or not. They can succeed. It all depends upon the intention of the heart.

46. S. (01:46:) You said that concealment is the greatest punishment but only in concealment do we have the ability to develop?

R. Correct we are developing from within concealment into revelation, that concealment we couldn't develop in our tendency, in our yearning to the revelation to the quality of bestowal, I’m not certain what you are depicting to yourself as the revelation.

47. S. (01:47:32) Why do you say concealment is the greatest punishment if through the concealment I discover or create the greatness of the Creator, make the greatness of the Creator?

R. We have two states in spirituality, revelation of the Creator to the creature or the concealment of the Creator to the creature. The revelation according to the qualities of the creature that resemble the Creator and that brings them to connection, to adhesion and the concealment of the Creator to the creature causes the creature opposite forms from the Creator and brings the creature all sorts of troubles and problems, things that are undesirable, not in the eyes of the Creator or the creature. This is why we say that, that the concealment is bad and revelation is good. Not in an egoistic form but rather according to the purpose of creation, according to the final goal. We need to be adhered to be with the Creator in the revelation of the Creator for us, in this complete manner.

48. S. (01:48:58) He writes that the results of the study should be the feeling of the greatness and the importance of the Creator, should we ask about the heart of the 10 not for ourselves?

R. We need to request for the entire 10 because only in such a manner is it felt in the Creator and in this the Creator can be revealed and receive contentment from us.

S. What does it mean it is felt in the Creator?

R. This I don't know, I cannot feel what the Creator feels oh, I make an effort to feel it in the generality of the 10 that they're in his internality there is what I depict as the Creator, come and see.

49. S. (01:50:01) The intention when properly organized is a prayer?

R. Prayer is an appeal of turning to the Creator that it must be arranged in the correct form, what do I want as a result of my efforts, what am I doing to activate myself as start, this is the prayer. The arrangement of the order of the prayer it is arranged, and ordered appeal, this is the prayer. The rest is also ultimately where we come to the source, to the Creator depending on what form and what work on our part. Whether we directly or intentionally do that or not.
