Rav’s Introduction: The work with the intention is a great effort because we constantly have to be in intention, this is the main thing because everything follows the intention. We read many writings about it, we spoke many hours about it and when we come to learn the material that the Kabbalists wrote we have to ensure that the intention of the study will be first of all before our eyes because this is what dictates where we are going with our study. It is not the material that is important but what is important is what we attain through the study and the intention of the study becomes for us the true problem, since constantly we have to ensure that we never leave the intention, we have to constantly maintain the right intention. We have to constantly implement the right intention and our work is in resistance of our nature to the right intention and nevertheless we are applying the intention forcefully with pressure and efforts. We care about being in it obsessively with constant pressure and the goal is important and not that we disperse knowing the verses or learning the material itself, that we drop from aiming towards the spiritual world instead of being in the mind and feeling the corporeal world.

The work is very consistent, it is constant and never ending. This is why it is important for us to reinforce each other. Our intentions have to connect from between as through the study and towards the Creator since our heart will rejoice in him. This way we attain the desired state, being connected to the Creator. If we forget about it, then we need to remember about the Arvut and the purpose of our study, purpose of our connection and each shall help his friend and more and more principles that we have learned many times. It doesn't matter whether we learned it before we have to remind each other and each friend reminds each friend about this. Today we also work on the intention for the study we have a document called working with the intention based on the sources and we will learn a few verses and then we go to the material which is study of TES, other times it is articles from Baal HaSulam and the various expressions of the upper world which he wants to present to us.

Nevertheless, we always start with the intention of the work and the study and if we are learning if we are doing our work relative to Israel, the light and the Creator are one then we constantly have to care about how we aim ourselves to the Creator to the connection between us and the Creator who exist in the center of our connection. Each time more and more we will attack the ego that disturbs us, until we break it and we discover the Creator who dwells in the center of our connection we will continue afterwards with all of our qualities. Even our ego becomes our helper and the angel of death becomes a holy angel. All along the way we accept with the intention that when the goal is to be in adhesion with the Creator. Everything we study is just a wrapper that helps us to establish the right conditions to reveal the Creator, nothing more than that. We will read the writings prepared for us by the friends.

Excerpt 1 (6:21 - 7:29)

2. R. (7:31) It turns out that we start to learn in the wisdom of Kabbalah all the material around it until we understand that our work is to change our intentions towards whatever is happening. Then our entire study revolves around my expectation, as a result of the study, to change my intention from in order to receive to in order to bestow in all my actions. In my actions I am performing mandatory actions that I must carry out in order to exist. These are called necessary actions. There is a law regarding those that they are neither praised nor condemned. I have to do it because in this, I am on the animate degree and there are higher actions that belong to the speaking degree where I need to make sure that if I’m doing something it is only with the intention to bestow either towards the friends and towards the Creator. This is how it works. Through the friends to the Creator. This is why I only think about that. I aim myself towards this main access, this central access which is Israel. the light, and the Creator are one, then I aim myself through the 10 where, there, in the center of the10 I find the force of the Torah, as if we learn and we have learned how the Torah was given to the collective. Similarly, when I am part of the collective, I acquire the force of connection. From the force of connection between us, we come to the force of connection with the Creator, to the revelation of the Creator, that’s how it happens. Hence, all of our study should be aimed at the connection between us and then the connection with the Creator. Since one dictates or determines from the love of the creative beings to the love of the Creator. This is the intention of the study and as much as possible, we gradually disengage from our ego. From our will to receive, this is called ‘bestowal in order to bestow’. I become neutral, I rise above my ego, I don’t want to work with it. Later, we’ll acquire another addition of forces from above, forces of bestowal, where my ego, my will to receive can come in order to bestow. Meaning our path, when we start from receiving in order to receive, we come to zero and we continue from zero to plus where we use the ego. Even though I’m receiving in my will to receive but it’s only to bestow. It’s to the extent that I connect with others, with the collective. If I cannot connect with the collective, I am not using my ego. Then I only come to bestow in order to bestow, this is called the degree of Bina. This is on the way to corrections. When I acquire the degree of Bina then through it, I can sanctify, correct my will to receive until it will also be in order to bestow, and the evil inclination will be as the good inclination, and ‘the darkness will shine as light,’ and this is how we’re advancing to a state that is above Bina. We work with the force of Bina and Malchut until we reach the degree of Keter.

3. S. (12:04) How can we direct ourselves with the right intention when there are friends in the 10 who have many roles but then we fail because we cannot perform them. How can we take responsibility so the friends will be in the right in intention and make it so that everybody enjoys this?

R. I don't think we can do this without failing. It is written, ‘there is no righteous in the world who did good without first sinning. Meaning first we try to do something. We commit sins, we make mistakes, we break things. We cannot do something; we get a hit along the way. We cry until we learn how to do something correctly. The entire path has to be, as much as possible, according to the recommendation of the Kabbalists. We are learning only from our mistakes, from failures, problems and we have to understand that. Where does it come from? Why it has to be this way is because we are the result of the shattering. When they discover something, we first discover the shattering. Our vessel, this general soul, Adam HaRishon, was shattered.

That's what we first discover, a broken state and from the broken state, we learn how to gradually correct it and come to corrections. That’s why there is no righteous person who did good without sinning. Meaning he has to get to know the sin, shattering. And from that he learns how to do good. Otherwise, we will not know even the good, we know only what is good only from the evil. That’s how creation is and we will begin to understand that this has to happen this way, not that the Creator could do it differently. Rather He did it from the complete, whole, point where we are at the end of correction and from that point, from that state at the end of correction which is to bring us to that state through our understanding and awareness that we will be in control and get to know this state. From that state creation developed all the way down to this world, the lowest possible world. This is what we learn, left and right, left and right, and although we yearn for the right, for correction, first we discover the left, the shattering, our mistakes. We do this each time at all levels.

4. S. (15:31) In what way can we live in the 10 so that the Angel of Death can be turned to the Angel of Life?

R. It depends on the degree of connection between us. We do not decide anything except through or according to the level of connection between us. Right now, there is a certain relationship between us, a certain attitude, and the more we study, the more we want to connect between us, we discover how different and separate we are. Each time, more connection, more separation, more connection, separation. And the separation always gives us this space where we can bring the reforming light, there, to connect us. We do all this to give contentment to the Creator like little kids with their mother. They stop fighting even though they have the evil inclination and they wish to bicker and fight. But they want to bring happiness to their mother. We also wish to be connected as much as possible and of course the ego will reveal itself with a greater strength, greater tenacity and we try to be connected above it. We don't break the ego, we don't erase it but on top of it we come to the connection between us. Then it turns out that all crimes will be covered by love. More crimes, more connections, more crimes and even more connections. This way we are building the mountain until we come to its and reach adhesion with the Creator.

5. S. (17:56) Many times we find ourselves in egoistic states. Some of the time, we remember the 10 and we try to change our intention to incorporate the desire of the 10. What is the middle line between the two states, two intentions? On one hand, I am in my ego and on the other hand I am incorporated with the desire of the 10.

R. It's your incorporation with the 10. The more you can help them, as Rabash writes in The Social Writings, the more I incorporate in them, how much I become a zero relative to them, or how much I am greater than them in order to push them from below or pull them up. I constantly care about our connections in general in the 10 until we come to such a connection, until the essence of the connection becomes seen by the Creator where the Creator is revealed. In the center point of the connection is revealed and expands and in it we feel, we attain the concept of the Creator since from that point we have come out and we come back to the source of our creation.

6. S. (20:01) What is the effort, the exertion?

R. Spiritual effort, exertion means I exert against my will to receive, my normal egoistic will to receive in order to be connected with my friends and in them to reach connection with the Creator. But this direction has to be there. From the connection with the friends and later to the extent I attain this connection with the friends to that extent I can approach the connection with the Creator, otherwise it would not be the Creator since the Creator is this sum total of our connections. He is shapeless. He is called Bo Reh, ‘come and see.’ Then we arranged this concept before us only out of the level, the style, the essence of the connection between us. The Creator does not exist, we can say, He exists but on such a level that we can’t depict Him. Rather we create Him, we arrange and establish Him before us to the extent we establish the connection between us. Meaning the form of our connection, the style of our correct connection brings us, represents to us the form of our Creator. That is why each day we'll have new connections between us, each day we’ll have a new Creator. He will change each time until we reach the end of correction. Then we will talk about what it is.

S. What is the style of connection? How to understand this correctly?

R. In the connection between us, there are many styles of approaches. We will learn about it along the way.

7. S. (22:29) The intention and the prayer are the same. If we understand it correctly, the mutual work in the 10 is the constant prayer to build a common intention?

R. Our work is for each one from within himself tries to connect his group into one concept and to bring it closer to the Creator. When the Creator is also called ‘One’, ‘the One’ but the Creator is the bestower and the group is the receiver. The group wants to approach the Creator by being ready to receive from Him in order to give contentment to Him. The reception will become bestowal so to the extent we prepare ourselves this way, we approach the Creator and we begin to be one versus the other until the Creator gives and we receive. This is in practice, but in the intention, He wishes to do good to us and we want to receive for His benefit. Then, as it turns out we are in the equivalence of form, equivalence of our intention, and from this, we begin to discover one another.

8. S. (24:23) How do we begin to discover each other? You say He wants to give to us, we give to Him, how as a 10 can we bestow?

R. We bestow to one another and to the extent that you arrange this mutual bestowal to one another we begin to feel it is not so difficult to depict that together we can turn to and bestow the Creator. This is called ‘from the love of the created beings to love of the Creator’. it will unfold in this way, from wanting to bestow to the friends, wanting to love them, to care for them, embrace them, advance them. By that, you would feel that you are discovering where we are taking them to. That’s how it will be manifested, the Creator is revealed in the vessel which you are trying to depict as corrected because it’s the all-inclusive structure, it’s the Keter of your soul, all of you.

9. S. (25:50) In the 10, how can we focus on our common intention all day long?

R. It’s only on the condition that all the friends will care about all the rest of the friends, and it is not difficult, you simply live in it. You feel that you exert no efforts to hold yourself against your will to receive, against the problems of the world, various disturbances. On the contrary, let disturbances come and you will discover that they all come specifically to help you grow stronger in the connection with the friends in one intention constantly aim ourselves at the Creator, just like that. But it’s only on the condition that you ensure that all the friends are connected in one intention to the Creator. Then the disturbances will come with the same intention, only to strengthen the connection with you and the Creator.

10. S. (27:07) The work in the intention means attaining faith above reason or the quality of bestowal or none else besides Him, what is this process? Is it holding onto some inner intention or is it from zero to infinity? Can you describe this process?

R. Our work right now is only the work with the Kabbalistic texts. What we learn during the lesson you have to go over it a few times a day, each and every lesson until it's absorbed inside of you in your brain and heart or in general in your soul and you begin to feel it working. You have to constantly work. How many times a day do you eat? How many times a day do you breathe? Yes, we have to look at it similarly. We have to take it through the will to receive, we call it the body, Not the flesh body but the will to receive is called ‘body’, we have to take the entire Torah through it. Meaning what Kabbalists write and what we learn through the lesson, we have to take it through this. We have to speak with the friends to pass through this. We have to learn an article each time, every day. You should always have with you a certain excerpt, recorded lesson, something else. And then from that it will influence you and we will begin to be more and more full of it and absorb it, incorporated in it, as they say, and then the Torah will fill you.

11. S. (29:12) What is the right intention that allows us to connect with intention. in the lesson?

R. I have to feel as a Rabash writes I have to feel myself responsible for their spirituality and then I am the greatest or the oldest and I pull them to spirituality and then I am also the smallest because I want to serve them in everything as long as they progress forward towards the Creator this is my work to help them above and below. If I forget about this I am not in spirituality since the progress in spirituality depends only on the extent to serve the group only by that they say either connection or death.

12. S. (30:29) How can it be explained in the ascent from below upwards that we do the same mistake stepping on the same landmines, how to explain this?

R. Our desire to receive is very simple but it has many modes in it, many attitudes this is right seems to us it feels that we never come out of it we never change it does not change but this is not correct each moment we have a new desire and the new feeling in life and also in our spiritual life in each and every moment we have a new memory Reshimot that appears and we have to realize it so there is no problem there is no problem in this if we feel that the world seemingly does not change the life is the same life it is not true there are infinite number of actions going through us passing through us and we are not aware of this. Because even still, vegetative and animal levels meaning this physical body in the universe there are so many changes but we are not aware of them, we do not know them and then do not need them because our work is only on the higher speaking degree on the level of Adam. This is why we have to focus only on our work in connection of nature on the highest level on the level of men, if we connect and nature on the level of the human all the other degrees on the other levels’ nature will also connect everything depends on men and then we will see as it says in the Torah that the wolf and the sheep dwell together. Everything comes to correction and the completion on the condition that we bring it to that every come to connection and I'm speaking on the about us in the world Kli of Bnei Baruch, if you can reach connection in our 10s then we will be able to see the entire world moving towards connection and the upper light can fill the world more and more and the Creator will appear in the created beings and we will fill ourselves in an elevator going from this world to higher and higher worlds only depending on the connection between us.

13. S. (33:51) Sometimes we have very strong emotions in the meetings in the 10, is that any sign of intention that might be happening?

R. Yes, this is also true.

14. S. (34:21) To what degree does the Creator reveal in the 10?

R. The Creator is revealed in the 10 to the same degree of selfish coarseness that the 10 can rise above and to that degree and in that the Creator appears and it can be on the level of Bina or the degree of Keter.

15. S. (35:06) In bestowal the effort is the reward?

R. Yes, in that bestowal it is the work and the effort, which is the reward, those are great degrees as you said. If we wish to give contentment to the Creator then the exemption, we put in it is a pleasure to us because by this we give him contentment.

S. How is it possible to measure when one is putting in labor and it is not prideful about the suffering so how can we know that it is correct?

R. It is not for us yet we have to rise above the restriction but it is along the way if you think about it is good but we can't really measure it yet we have to go through the restriction and connect above are ego but your question is very nice.

16. S. (36:09) Regarding the intention you give an explanation that Rabash gives advice that the intention becomes a necessity and we measure it by seeing that we would rather give up the action, that question is how to develop the intention to bestow so that we aim correctly?

R. For the time being we cannot check our intention to bestowal because we cannot disconnect from our will to receive yet we cannot rise above it yet. Gradually through the reforming light, gradually it will influence us and give us search possibility but we cannot do it with one jump this is penny and penny added to a large sum.

17. S. (37:10) Recently in a 10 meeting we tried a discussion about intention and we came to the conclusion that we are very different from each other in our desires but in the intentions, we came to a feeling of unity, that we can become one?

R. This is correct, we can never be equals in our desires because in each the desires are different so it is impossible to equalize the desires and do anything with them instead of the entire work can only be in the intention so the intention to give brings us to connection above all the different desires this is why each remains in his desires and our desires will keep growing and they change and they become coarse and they will become even more different from each other. Like the children when they are small, they are very similar but as they grow up each day, they become very different from their friends so we understand that as we progress more and more in spirituality, the spiritual desires and differences are much greater but the intention can connect us into one through a single goal.

S. What other directions can we use with our intentions to scrutinize it?

R. From now until the end of connection let's say our work is only in the intention, intention of connection although that desires are different and they can be anything, it does not matter, we need to be connected in our intentions in other words we are together we have to connect and yearn towards one goal which is the upper force our source this is it.

18. S. (39:45) What is the connection?

R. Connection is when we are different on one hand, we are different and we cannot connect, and there are two separate bodies that cannot connect, but our intentions in our desires we wish to reach our goal, and there we are together and connected. Meaning the connection cannot be in what the Creator arranged in us in our desires, but only in the intentions in intention above the desires that's where we can connect.

19. S. (40:45) It is not clear what is behind the intention, so what about the intentions that can connect us?

R. We connect through the intentions. What is my intention? To give to someone and let's say yours is also similar, and then we can connect through the similar intention like in a couple, when between the man and the woman they share the child, and they connect through caring about the baby.

S. But if each has a different desire and on top of it, we have similar intentions?

R. It doesn't matter if we have different desires, I just gave you an example about the parents and you have a baby, how do you care for the baby? Each one from what he is and she is, and what they each understand, but both want the good of the baby, and you connect through this concern for the baby, because “in Him our hearts will rejoice”.

S. But even the size of the desire is different and it makes changes in the intention.

R. This is not correct, if you have the benefit of the baby in mind, when we are caring for the baby, we connect. We also have this in this life, nobody feels any difficulty how much the father can give and how much the mother can give, the baby enjoys from both of us. Otherwise, I do not understand your question as it is not realistic. We can never be equal, we can never check the depths of one's intention and desires only in the results, only in the Creator, and we connect to Him and in Him we can see the result, if you imagine according to your own in emotion you are imagining stuff.

S. The incorporation is what enables us to connect with the intentions.

R. Yes, the incorporations.

19A. S. (44:00) The sum of our connection defines the Creator, why is it difficult to be aware of this?

R. Because our desires are different and only the intentions being connected into one common intention do, we arrange the image of the Creator. Since we imagine Him according to our in intention inclination, this is not who the Creator is but it is “come and see”, it is that we can come to this image, seemingly this image, and depict Him and according to the degree of our intentions, we can talk about it, we still lack the feelings about it, but we see that today it is a bit different, today you are already speaking differently which is very good.

20. S. (45:31) This example of the common child that everybody is taking care of in the 10, but the Creator is not revealed, we do not know how to and who to bestow to?

R. The 10 is not the problem, I want to reach the love of others and through the love of created beings, I can come to the love of the Creator. Specifically in this way. In the end of love of friends, we come to this vessel in this wrapper and discover that we come to the Creator, we begin to imagine what this concept of the Creator is, what is it who he is. It is not like a friend but it is something spiritual, it is something convoluted, it is in our imagination seemingly until we correctly locate the connection between the friends, and then we come to this concept of the Creator.

S. My friend discovered something similar or something else?

R. In his vessels he discovers the Creator, in this way the concept of the Creator keeps changing, each time there is a new Creator.

S. But how can we still bring that concept of the Creator closer to us?

R. When you truly want to connect between you, you establish this image of the Creator. Without the connection between you the Creator does not exist, He does not exist in reality. There is an upper force but it is not attained, he is only attained through the vessel, which is the connection between us, and then you can attain the manifestation of the Creator.

S. Let's say we are now together with the friends sharing the intention, trying to love each other so how can we separate the intention to bestow to the Creator?

R. When you come to the connection between you then from the total result of the connection between you, you can discover to some extent that the Creator is revealed between you, something that is common, shared between you. You come to some result which is shared or not. It is likely that it is not yet mutual not yet shared at this point.

S. It is just like a common feeling or a common scrutiny?

R. In the connection between you, you start to feel that there is such a concept which is called the Creator which is the result, the sum total of all the efforts and mutual actions so you are making, you are building Him.

21. S. (49:23) What is it that the Creator is new each time?

R. It means that our vessels change, so each time we can imagine the concept of the Creator in the connection between the friends in a new way. This is the new Creator each day, it is not like I am precarious or heretic and I could change one Creator to another, but our vessels change so the concept of the Creator is also changing.

S. But the Creator is unchanging, constant, no?

R. There is no such thing, as the Creator is BoReh, come and see. Do you understand this concept “come and see”, so you come with your qualities and according to your qualities you can depict and feel the Creator and then He is called The Creator, and then in each and every new state you depict Him differently, and as you depict Him differently so in each moment you have a new Creator.

S. So everything depends on me?

R. Everything is in your vessels only, we have spoken about this thousands of times, and they're very real, I do not know where you have been.

22. S. (51:02) What level do we need to rise through the 10 to reach the state of “my sons have defeated me”?

R. Let's say practically the Creator is concealed and we are making various efforts between us towards the connection until we reveal Him in his hideout, this is “my sons have defeated me”. The Creator is a hiding God and when we discover Him, or He is concealed and we take Him out of concealment, then He is happy about it because “my sons defeated me”, I concealed myself from them and they defeated me. He is always playing hide and seek with us.

S. So is this a state that can happen each time until the end of connection again and again?

R. It is only the initial connection that we have to reach this way, but after that we will have a different, more interesting work, where we already know where we are and how to search, how to work on the concealment, and then our states become more like states of adults who are researchers that reveal and understand, it is a more interesting work.

R. I still want to tell you that I'm very very happy today from your attitude to the topic, which is very advanced, so it is a very good sign how you are related to this.

Excerpt 2 (53:23 - 55:00)

23. S. What does it mean that we have to complete the vessel?

R. The complete vessel is the intention to bestow and we want to discover the Creator through this vessel in order to give Him contentment. If I don't discover Him, I don't bestow to Him. It is not enough that I connect, I need to connect in order to build from myself the image of the Creator. What are we doing in our connection is that we make the image of the Creator, this is why we are called Adam, similar to the Creator, a copy of the Creator. When I look in the mirror than I see myself and there is the mirror and I reflect on myself, I build myself as the Creator as much as I understand, and to this extent, I am called Adam until I come to the point until all my qualities, I correct them in order to bestow, this means that I become completely similar to the Creator in complete correction. This is our work.

S. What does it mean that I pass on of my qualities of bestowal?

R. You install over all your desires with intention to bestow.

S. My selfish desires the Creator gives me and then there is the connection in the 10, and there is the Creator, so how do I take my qualities and pass them onto in order to bestow?

R. You try to live only in order to give contentment to the friends, to the world and to the Creator, and in that you correct creation.

S. So there is no need for my qualities in the primary form, only in order for them to choose bestowal above them?

R. This is what your qualities will become.

S. What is above my qualities?

R. You used to be similar to the Creator, then you went through the breakage and then you became opposite to the Creator, and you are in the stages of correction where each time your opposite qualities to the Creator are revealed and you need to ask Him as you make an effort together with the friends to correct your qualities to be similar to the Creator from opposite to similar.

S. So this means that I change my qualities?

R. You do not change your qualities, you change your in intention of these qualities, how you use them, not the qualities themselves but the intentions you change.

24. S. (58:44) Usually we hear the words “clothing” and here he says that the Malchut of Ein Sof decorated itself, is there a difference between decoration and clothing?

R. Let's say that it is the same for the time being, don't get too confused about this.

25. S. (59:19) If we create the Creator according to our qualities how can the Creator be revealed? What does it mean that I create Him? How can it be that I create Him before he creates me? How can I create the Creator?

R. The Creator does not exist before you create Him, you build Him, you detect Him, so there is no concept of the Creator before that. There is the upper force, but not what we call the Creator. The Creator belongs to the person who detects his connection with the upper force, so this is why this concept, the Creator, BoReh, “come and see” becomes revealed.

26. S. (01:00:35) The Creator created “to do”, what does it mean?

R. The upper force created the whole creation, and we by creation can come to the level of adhesion to the Creator.

27. S. (01:01:06) We are always progressing on the left and right, left and right, is the intention incorporated into that? What is the in intention incorporated into?

R. My intention is on the middle line that I need to reach by constantly aiming at the Creator, which means that it is not the right or the left but it is the result of both opposites.

S. So the in intention is always in the middle?

R. Yes, and it is the in intention of the goal, and the forces of the right and the left are only in order to reach and advance to the goal.

28. S. (01:01:50) When it says that the Malchut is mitigated by Bina what is it?

R. I don't know.

29. S. (01:02:10) Do we need to arrange our physical desires with the in intention to give it to the 10?

R. We are not talking about all our material desires, but only what we need in order to reach adhesion to the Creator, and we have to realize this in the 10.

30. (01:02:45) What is the gift that the 10 can ask of the Creator for the world Kli during the preparation process?

R. Ask the Creator for adhesion, connection that we will achieve with the new connection in the Congress so that we will discover the Creator between us, that he fills the space between us and binding us together that we will increase the adhesion between us to discover him more and more bringing him contentment.

Excerpt 3 (01:03:56 - 01:05:06)

31. S. (01:05:15) It says if man's intention is only to be so contentment o the Creator and not for his own benefit, he doesn't mind the amount of pleasure, he looks at the amount of passion with which he wants to delight the Creator. Why don’t we look at the amount of pleasure instead of the passion?

R. Because that is how I can measure my vessel not how I can benefit the Creator but only according to how much I tried to bestow to Him.

32. S. (01:06:10) Can we receive the pleasure from the Creator only with the intention to bestow?

R. That is the connection between us I have to be at the same wavelength as the giver to feel Him, that I have to share the same concept so the more that I am in the force of bestow, the more I can detect or identify, sense, the influence of the Creator upon me. I can't receive the influence of vision through something, it has to be in the same vessel. If the Creator bestows with the desire to bestow then in my vessel, I have to have the desire to bestow as well otherwise I won't detect Him.

33. S. (01:07:37) Without the intention for my friends to connect according to the Creator, is it okay to extract myself from this?

R. Please do what you say, try to do all kinds of actions just that the friends don't need to see or to be impressed by it or that you are inspired in different directions, there is none as wise as the experienced.

34. S. (01:08:30) There is a feeling that the Creator does what He wants, sometimes He keeps us all dried up with our intention, sometimes He shines in it, how do we relate to this?

R. Yes let's say it is so, I don't know the whole plan of creation, I still see the actions happening in the world, that they seem very coincidental, without any logic because there is some gap between my mind and the Creator's mind.

S. How to imagine the Creator so that I would be drawn to give Him pleasure?

R. I don't understand, you want to always depict the Creator as good and does good so correct your vessel of perception and you will see Him that way.

S. How to imagine the Creator, do I imagine Him as a friend, as a master, how to imagine Him so to bestow to Him will be attractive?

R. It says that you should have no foreign gods, try it this way.

S. What does that mean?

R. Do not see Him as a foreign god.

35. S. (01:10:10) What do I want to aspire to correct my egoistic nature?

R. Only connection with the friends, if I don't know what to do, or the Creator the previous friend was confused with, I have the 10 I have nothing to do, but to nullify myself towards with towards them, to exist like this before them as I once again received some strength and nourishment from them and advance.

S. To what point do the qualitative efforts become quantitative?

R. This I can't say but certainly it happens each time, like today I said I feel that today that you have become wiser, in a way that you weren't before as the questions are different. The quantity becomes quality.

S. What is the meaning of growing stronger in the quality of bestowal? How do you come to this in the 10?

R. To strengthen in the quality of bestow is to feel that there is more ability to bestow between the friends to bring connection between them and to advance towards the Creator as well.

36. S. (01:11:59) Should we talk about intentions in the 10 to find our common intentions in the 10?

R. It is better that we learn this from our sources unless we confuse each other, each confusing the friends.

37. S. (01:12:38) See that I am bestowing containment to the Creator?

R. If you see it, how do you reach such a connection with the 10 in which you feel how much you stout and how much they enjoy your bestowal and that you enjoyed benefiting them, in that you discover the Creator and you bring contentment to the Creator.

38. S. (01:13:39) How to obtain the ability to be new each moment, how do we do this?

R. By your attention in the exercises and your attention.

39. S. (01:14:05) We are building the greatness of the Creator. Will He be built in the future or will we always have to work on this greatness?

R. The greatness of the Creator and the greatness of the friends is what we will have to work on until the final correction. This is why it is called the final correction, that I correct my perception of the friends and the Creator until then the Creator appears through connection with the friends and the connection with the friend. Accordingly, I discover the Creator there.

40. S. (01:15:07) Where is the point the intention is shaped?

R. Our intention it takes upon the right shape through our common efforts with the others only these shared efforts, it can't just happen in a single individual only between at least two as the minimum of many is 2. And then we can name ourselves towards the Creator.

41. S. (01:16:05) Inspire into equivalence of form with the Creator, what level are we equal, that I can't even think about but at what point can we come to equivalents to the Creator and advance towards it?

R. As we relate to the friends this is how I relate to the Creator. There is no difference between my attitude towards the friends and my attitude towards the Creator, therefore the Creator appears as a result of bestowing to the friends. The moment I give bestowal to the friends, I began to discover the Creator as the Creator is the sum total of my relationship with the friends and nothing else, He's not going to appear in any other way, only as an outcome has my correct attitude towards the friends.

42. S. (01:17:19) Here when we learn about the perception of the reality that leaves a perception upon me that the will to receive is projected outside, can we use it here in the work in the intention

R. I don't know what you mean about the world to receive projected outwards?

S. The photographic machine, everything that I see.

R. Yes, why do you need this now? No, just leave it alone as it will confuse you. I just feel that I need to connect within my heart, all of the friends together, that they need to be standing in my heart and in the connection between us when I establish this picture, that they are all standing within my heart, my heart becomes a spiritual Partzuf and then within this spiritual Partzuf I am ready to receive and reveal the Creator.

43. S. (01:18:44) If we create a perfect Creator does this mean that we achieve equivalence of form with the upper force? What is the purpose of the upper force?

R. We cannot discover anything without connection between us, connection is the spiritual vessel. It is the only way we come to discover the spiritual force, the spiritual world only through the connection between us, look at the article that The Matan Torah writes about, there is no other way to discover spirituality except through the connection between us. If we have the connection, we will discover if not we won't. That is, it.

44. S. (01:20:07) How do we reveal the Creator?

R. This is what we're always talking about, how do we reach the revelation of the Creator, through connection.

S. There are people who don’t know what Kabbalah is about, they are in the study 20 - 30 years, this is why I am asking.

R. We, as Baal HaSulam writes, but the people who study the wisdom of Kabbalah can also write, studying 20 or 30 years and only then to achieve correction and revelations. This is a spiritual correction and you can find this in the writings of Baal HaSulam. If you have complaints and you are working in order to bestow, you have no complaints, on the contrary you are happy that everything is concealed, that you are able to do the work under concealment.

S. The question was, the person who doesn't feel that he knows what we are talking about, how does he come to study to include the friends and reveal the Creator?

R. You do what you need to do, this is my last word for you, do what you need to do, to discover it and then you will understand what is written. Until then study and keep quiet. Because before you understand anything you're already asking about it in such a way that I'm not even interested to hear. It doesn't matter where you are asking from, it doesn't matter, you first need to try to enter the interior of the study as much as possible, the internality and then as a result you will start speaking correctly and to the point. Your complaints then turn to yourself, are you truly making the correct effort both in quantity and quality and see what Baal HaSulam writes about these things in his articles and then we can talk to you until then I don't want to hear any more.

Excerpt 4 (01:23:30 - 01:24:35)

45. R. The main thing in the attainment of their Creator is self-annulment, that one should do, alongside that he really wants to attain and to feel, to receive and to bestow having more increasingly growing vessels in perspective to attaining the Creator, feeling the Creator, receiving the Creator. Still, he tries to maintain the annulment as much as possible and this is a part of our work as much as the will to receive becomes greater, we have to cancel ourselves with a greater power in order to be above it in bestowal. To not think about how much I receive, but to think about how much I can bestow. How much can I bring contentment and of course this completely does not sit with our will to receive, for certainly what we are not thinking about. This is the spiritual law being in order to bestow to the extent that we have to achieve that in feel the Creator because He is completed this bestowal and this will determine our spiritual degree and if we cannot then we ask, we turn to the Creator asking, as it says why have you not you asked, not about having a complaint about why you're not receiving but why are you not asking to bestow, this is the question.
