Part 1:

Faith Above Reason - Selected Excerpts from the Sources. #36

1. Rav’s Introduction: (00:17) Yes we are continuing on the same track. Let us hope that the more and more we understand how it is divided into two parts, how it is composed of certain components and that we understand that it is impossible to implement it unless we connect between us and in this way we reach our implementation our realization that there is no Creator without the creative being. Meaning that all in all, the Creator is a concept which we attain that does not exist without a person connecting to himself at least a ten or else you cannot attain the concept of the Creator.

When he does attain the concept of the Creator then he begins to understand that there is no Creator without the created being and there is no created being without the Creator and only in such a form when he discovers correctly himself and the others he obtains the Creator. It is like when we cross or join images in a telegraphic machine, let's say. until we are able to connect the friends into a single image that we want to adhere to then we cannot discover the Creator. Let us go forward and see what he is telling us: it is mostly Rabash.

Reading Excerpt 36: (02:45) “Even when he comes to know that the Creator”..

2. R. (04:35) In the end to pray because in a prayer, a person constantly tries to express himself in a way that is more and more correct, close to the Creator. He annuls himself and he is searching for which other ways he can get closer.

3. S. (04:59) What in the end is to really pray because it seems like there is a wall and you cannot move one mm forward?

R. So pray before the wall.

S. But there is no strength to pray; it simply doesn’t happen. The prayer is not happening.

R. Yes. It is written about it in many places.

S. So what is Rabash suggesting in this case?

R. Turn your face to the wall and pray as it is written. There is nothing you can do about it until you will change, the spiritual conditions cannot change. That is what we think that out of the fact that I will not change but I will turn more and more and more without changing myself. The Creator will not change: in Him the conditions are the foundations of the world so nothing will help me but only to ultimately subjugate myself.

This is what I will have to do. But we are used to, from our society and even from our parents, our childhood home that we can cry and nag and demand cry out and this will achieve something for us. This is our upbringing also. It seemingly does not work to our benefit, even though if we look more broadly, then we have to understand that that too the Creator determined it in advance who was going to have this kind of upbringing and who is going to have that kind of upbringing, so that we will reach the meeting with Him truly ready according to the form of our soul; the inner form, and there is nothing that we can do but only to carry out what is written. Okay?

4. S. (07:34) no translation

S. Well, at least words even without any feeling in the heart even against the feeling in the heart. Nevertheless I start with that.

5. S. (08:11) How do we build this and what do we obtain by the prayer itself after all it grows and becomes deeper and more aimed? What do we attain with this prayer?

R. We try to connect with the Creator according to these principles with which he established the entire universe and in such a way we nevertheless want to come close to Him and to ask of Him to persuade Him to change us. I do not ask of Him to change the world, I ask of Him to change me in such a way that I will be correctly connected with this world.

6. S. (09:29) Rabash writes in this article that a person needs to believe that the Creator hears all prayers. How can you believe that the Creator hears every prayer if I see that he does not hear them?

R. You have to bring yourself to such a state where you are willing to believe that the Creator hears the prayer of every mouth. In general everyone's prayers, all the prayers of everyone. We start with that assumption.

S. How to convince myself to think that way?

R. It is through, as much as you can as much as you can, and also for that ability ask the Creator even for that ask the Creator in order to believe that He rules everything, includes everyone below Him, beneath His control and everything depends only on Him.

7. S. (10:46) The intention of the upcoming Congress is, “to open for me an opening like the tip of the needle and I will open for you the heavens.” I feel that each and every friend has such a great desire and is in constant prayer. As an entire Kli I cannot even begin to imagine that force of the prayer. So I do not feel like we want to wait  until the Congress. We want to open those Gates now. What is it that we need in our prayer as one Kli in order to tune ourselves to the light to enter the Kli?

R. A prayer for connection. This is the most important prayer and this is what we have to carry out especially before the Congress. In order to reach connection between us and this connection will already activate the upper desire.

8. S. (12:16) I would like to be more precise here, if we bring ourselves to a state, to the initial stage of connection and if we do not do it now nevertheless the Creator will bring us to that degree one way or another because we cannot resist it? Or is that what is supposed to happen?

R. The Creator brings us to the understanding, the feeling that we must connect and without it we will have no salvation, no exit from the will to receive in order to receive. This is why he turns us to all kinds of different matters which is essentially we ourselves prepare these states out of the fact that we do not want to pray for salvation but rather we pray for all kinds of beautiful states that are good for our will to receive and this is how we roll around, okay?

9. S. (13:46) Even during one prayer you go through all kinds of states. Once you ask for it to be a prayer from the heart, one to be for attack, one on behalf of the friends, there's all kinds of flavors to this prayer. What needs to be before the prayer?

R. It has to stem from the heart in such a way that it comes out of your heart that is the same form that it should have that your heart will be as the Creator wants to hear it.

S. Is that a prayer too?

R. This is the prayer, the prayer is the work in the heart. The prayer is work in the heart that is a preparation of the desire so that the desire will match the Creator’s desire. We have to invert our desire so it will be like His desire.

10. S. (15:04) You said that I need to change to adapt myself to spirituality. How do I change? How can I be in true prayer?

R. Through prayer.

S. What exactly do I need to ask the Creator everyday because lately I feel at least in our ten that the more efforts that we make, the more importance for the goal, for one another, we want to ask for bestowal, love we see that it is more difficult, more difficult. The Creator brings us states that it is true, just like it is written in the excerpt effort upon effort, exertion upon exertion. So why is He giving this to us?

R. So you will reach the correct desire and this desire he is willing to keep it, to provide it. All in all you are advancing and everyone is advancing and here there is nothing that you can do but only to think to understand to locate in where else can you resemble what the Creator demands.

11. S. (16:34) What are the principles that bring us to connection?

R. It is only the principles of connection: to be as one man in one heart, each one for the others. We want to be all incorporated and connected and what is important for us is; only for us to connect in a central point between us where we reach a concept called the Creator because there is no Creator without the created being and if we connect correctly then we build Him, we detect him. He seemingly comes out of nowhere, out of absence, out of zero and suddenly we feel Him.

If our connection reaches this concept of one, in the concept of one we have degrees: ten plus ten plus ten, this is how it is, one-hundred and twenty-five degrees until we reach the true concept of One which is G’mar Tikkun. So each time we need to try to connect between us even more and more as it is written, “as one man in one heart.” The heart means desire so we all connect in a single desire, so other than feeling all of the friends together I don’t want anything.I want to be incorporated in them, even to hide within them, to be immersed within them and to live in that way. That’s it.

12. S. (18:58) I cannot understand what it means to pray through the ten. There is me and there is the ten and I cannot be with them because they are bestowing and I am the receiver. I also cannot care for the benefit of the Creator. I am not in that field. What I have come to is that I only care for the benefit of the Creator as a representative of the ten and I am disconnected. That is where I'm stuck on what to do?

R. Adhere to them, attach yourself to them, attach yourself to them like a baby attaches himself to his parents and try in such a way it's so much so to attach to them that you seemingly enter into them,you are absorbed in them that you no longer exist, you dissolve in them.

S. Some part of me might be able to adhere to them but the other part, how can it exist with it if it is only the receiving part?

R. You should do whatever you can and you will see how it happens.

13. S. (20:38) That is exactly the point of connection between us. It is the common heart from which we need to pray and without it there is no Prayer?

R. That is why it is written, “that there is no Creator without the created being.” When the created beings connect between them they build from within themselves this definition called Creator. The Creator on His own He is the upper One, that state that we cannot feel or cannot even define Him or give Him a name, He is manifested inside of us only according to the degree of connection between us but He Himself is on a much higher degree than us such that we cannot depict to ourselves that something like that can exist.

14. S. (21:48) We built a mechanism of response against every disturbance where the Creator is everything . Everything that comes, comes from the Creator and it is for our benefit. The question is how to be in this opinion so that the Creator is in our prayer all the time? That He hears the prayer.

R. We need to think about it a long time try to even write it down. It has to take on some form that is more clear within you. You need to try to work with your desires, your intentions, your qualities with everything that you have within you in different directions until it will move a little bit here and there and you will be a bit more flexible and this is how you will advance.

15. S. (23:30) How do we become more sensitive to the answers to our prayers as a group?

R. Either through blows or through connection with the friends. Through envy, envy. It can very quickly change us on the degrees of our sensitivity.

16. S. (24:26) There are states when we make efforts to adhere to the friends and the response from them I receive personally and not as a matter of fact as coming from the Creator. So how do we work with those states correctly? To receive the response from the friends properly as coming from the Creator and not from them?

R. Try to make all kinds of different efforts that will activate in that and you will see I have nothing to say but only that you have to search.

17. S. (25:10) How not to skip over the part of the prayer which we can get to His essence that..

R. We cannot. It will come on its own.

18. S. (25:38) We are talking about everything having its point in time and there's a Reshimot for it and it is written that, “as much as he prays he will receive the answer.” So how does the prayer affect the Reshimot. I would like to scrutinize. Is there anything in that?

R. Well of course there is the prayer that influences the Reshimot immediately.

S. How does it influence it?

R. That should not be important for you. It influences it and that is it. Do not be too wise.

S. The important thing is to know the mechanics of it or that it will have some influence,an effect?

R. No.

S. Sometimes we relate to the prayer in a very childish way like when we blow up a balloon for children. We are entering into very deep materials that you are leading us to and we probably have to also relate to the prayer in a very serious way and with serious scrutiny. I would like to scrutinize these details.

R. There are no details, no details you just have to operate from your hearts that is it.

19. S. (27:19) You said several times that envy of the friends, envying the friends is the most important thing. Actually that is the answer to raise the friends higher than myself all the time. To see them and to ask for that and to envy that and that is kind of that gives the strain into my work is that correct right?

R. Correct, right ,yes.

20. S. (28:00) Is there a difference between absorption in the ten and praying from that place of absorption in the ten versus exertion on behalf of the ten and praying in that place of exertion?

R. Well, there is a big difference here. These are two different points. One comes from the place of the filling and one comes from the place of the deficiency. But keep going with this and with that.

21. S. (28:48) There is no lesson that we do not hear from you about the connection in the ten and several times a lesson and everything leads on that. The question is like this if the ten has invested in a very serious action of connection with preparation with great protection and the action of connection really started well and it was powerful and at the end of that action after a few days we received a blow like a whip, a true whip of separation, hatred, rejection. So the question is first of all why after such an action that is the response that we receive from the Creator?

R. In order for you to continue to fill the distance between you. Simply another part now opens up that was separated between you whoever you didn't feel it before now it opens up and you feel it and you have to feel that too with connection.

S. How do we fill it with connection now?

R. As you were working on the previous lack of connection. Even though there is a difference, rejection and all kinds of such relations that are not good between the friends you will nevertheless work in order to close these gaps and to be as one man and one heart.

S. These gaps over time it feels like they're just growing and on the side of the ego there is a certain kind of mechanism?

R. Certainly. Certainly. The whole world which is broken that was created as a result of the shattering of the vessel of Adam HaRishon you will discover that it exists between you and the hatred, lust, honor, rejection, terrible rejection and yes this is how it is as it says about the students of the disciples of Rabbi Shimon when they come after a lot of study they want to kill each other.

S. What is most recommended now that we are in such a state?

R. The most recommended in such a state is seemingly to shut your eyes and start to get close to one another. Try to pray that in faith above reason you'll be able to come closer and closer and close the gaps between you. It means that everything remains, all the problems, all the rejections, all the complaints but you know that it comes to you so that above it you will overcome and connect.

S. Would a meal or some external action be able to help?

R. Again.

S. Will a Kabbalistic meal or some external action able to help?

R. A meal. Yes of course it can help each and every action even a physical one in which there is hardly any spiritual component a prayer nevertheless it can help it can move us from the place of where we were before.

22. S. (33:02) What is it to come closer to one another and to enter a friend?

R. That I cannot explain this is what you have to try to carry out on your own.

S. And what direction at least?

R. Ask the friends, in the direction of the friends. Each and every individual has certain qualities that you have that you start with and all the rest you have to learn from the connection with the friends okay?

23. S. (33:50) To continue what you answered the friend. We also this weekend are about to do a very meaningful acti of connection. What is your advice before this action so that to avoid the blow that the friends have received?

R. To work together, work on the connection together so that you will be impressed, inspired by what happens in the friends you will be envious of that and it will acquire all of the corrections that happened in every one that should be sufficient in order for you to reach a new and great degree of connection.

S. Work together in the preparation for that like before an event?

R. Yes yes now already.

24. S. (34:45) The correct prayer is to accept that for each friend in the ten, to accept the friend as he is and accordingly also annulment before every friend and for that the force of faith is necessary because it is such a state that is changing once you think and once not?

R. In principle yes.

S. Then can we say that the prayer is built that is made up in the correct way and the reception of a response is the Mitzvah that we carried out?

R. Yes.

S. Another question that has been tormenting for a long time since we started to study the articles of Rabash in the group after all it is not some sort of Illusion or delusion that every friend invests in reading these articles and at some point we feel the presence of Rabash which is maybe the upper force that is appearing?

R. Yes.

25. S. (36:18) More about the prayer from the heart. How through my prayer can I adhere to the prayers of the friends?

R. Also through prayer.

Reading Excerpt 37: (36:40) “But when one sees after all the exertions”..

Reading Excerpt 37 again: (38:03)

26. S. (39:26) Can you perhaps explain the end of this excerpt if I am already within reason and I understand that only the Creator can help me following all of my effort. What is the end there that now I have to believe above reason that the Creator can help me, I did not understand that?

R. That is already a different above reason. That's where I already know that the Creator kind of according to all of the conditions could not help me but I need to believe that he is helping.

S. In the excerpt he says something different.

R. Okay let us read it together. When one sees that after all of his exertions sees that he is not capable of emerging from the will to receive for himself, then he sees that within reason only the Creator can help him. Is that clear? Thus far it is. I also think that everyone agrees, most of us. It follows as Sages said man's inclination overcomes him everyday meaning that without the help of the Creator it is clear that I cannot emerge from my state towards the upper force of Faith. He does not need to believe in this above reason just like ordinary people do,workers of the Creator who observe Torah and Mitzvot who believe this is, “so above reason.”

This is so that the Creator helps them this way rather, those people who want to work in order to bestow, for them it is within reason. Where he knows where he is to such an extent that they have to believe above reason that the Creator can help them emerge from the governance of the will to receive. We are waiting, expecting the emergence, the exit from our state to a higher state, to above reason, in above reason and it is not that we truly have to pray for that. That the Creator only can help us but rather we perform all kinds of actions of trying to come out of the control, exiting the control of the will to receive only the Creator can. We still seek here and there, here and there all kinds of actions that we might be able to do in order to rise above reason.

27. S. (42:22) In which manner does the Creator help us to exit the rule of the will to receive?

R. In what manner? In which we are despaired from our forces and we ask and demand from Him each and everyone and all of us together to take us out in order to receive, to in order to bestow.

28. S. (43:08) We now heard from the Tens that they went through a strong connection and now there is separation there and we heard from other friends that they go towards an action of correction and asking how they can avoid separation but we learn all the time that this is our way, from connection to separation to a greater connection. How can we give strength to the friends and the joy in all the states that are revealed and to accelerate the time and the connections?

R. Only by our exertion. The laws are the same both for men and for women and also for all ages. If we want to reach Lishma we must find that point of Lishma in the connection between us only.

S. How can we help the Ten right now to connect faster, that we will all think about them, or..?

R. Yes. What's wrong?

S. Now I ask you a question that they had a strong connection and now they feel separation. How can they rise to a higher level of connection?

R. Pray for them. There’s nothing quicker, more powerful and more blessed. If you start pouncing on them with all kinds of counsels and advice corporeally it will confuse them and you too and everyone all together; it will create even more separation. But if you pray each from his heart or her heart you will see how that works. Actually the situation is a good state, a good one, okay?

29. S. (45:11) In all the articles it says believe and pray believe and pray, like in all these people in the world they do the same. When the help comes, when it finally comes, it looks like it never comes, it's just believe and pray believe and pray there's nothing else to do.

R. It could be that at the end of the prayer you don’t need anything but just to have the opportunity at one point maybe again to activate your prayer. The Creator hears all the prayers and He answers them doesn't answer them, we cannot know we can know, that’s not important for us, we need to do what’s upon us to do and therefore the prayer needs to be from the depths of our hearts, and not in order to receive an answer in which you want, clear?

30. S. (46:32) We are living in a world of consequences and we’re turning to the Creator, to the root. So, what’s in these words or thoughts of the person here in the corporeal world that he can reach all the way to the upper world?

R. That’s how it’s built where even from our lowest state we come to the Creator who is on the other end, the other side.

31. S. (47:02) In order for one to pray all day there has to be this kind and that kind?

R. Yes, of course.

S. In order to pray a person has to feel what he’s praying for. Here it says that he should feel that he is already despaired of emerging from the governance of self-love. I don’t feel what self-love is and certainly I haven’t reached a state where I'm despaired of it that I myself cannot do it. So, how is it possible to characterize and feel in the heart that I'm under the rule of self-love? How do we reach that?

R. Well that is already in the work of man you can pray about that too, but I think that a person that is between us feels that he is in self-love and constantly thinks and demands only for himself and even the Mitzvot that he is going to observe, that is also for himself, and his concerned with all of the results from his actions also for himself and he has nothing that is really him thinking about everyone about others and if he thinks about them then also he thinks only in such a way of how it will influence in return back to his benefit. That is what we see in ourselves, therefore we have no problem in asking for corrections because it is clear to us that we are in order to receive, all of us, and we have yet to reach any desire that is bestowing.

S. It is also clear in continuation of the questions of their friends, that maybe it does not seem like the Creator is answering the prayers. It doesn't help because the prayer is incorrect. The deficiency that is revealed is that I don’t quite know what is wrong with me? The recognition I feel that it’s not revealed enough so I can bring out such a prayer and feel that the Creator is willing to help you. So how in our work, which we say is the work of connection, how the effort that we have in that we try to work with each other and help each other, where and in what stage is the evil revealed? What exactly is it, i mean between the friends, what is the evil the bad in the work of connection?

R. That I discover between me and the friends nevertheless a partition an emotional partition between me and them that I cannot cross, I can’t feel the friend like I feel myself at least and that is a problem that is a problem, I go through that distance I cancel it when I think about that I see that it’s impossible and it’s easier for me to let go over it and to go in any other direction, but that is a very big problem how I nevertheless cancel out that distance. Distance is in the feeling of the heart in the thought in our mind so that there will be a connection between us. I can’t, I can't even ask for that.

32. S. (51:00) How do we shift from faith above reason as it is written here? How do we shift to faith above reason above reason, as it is written here in the text? Is it a matter of thinking, emotions? How do we shift from one to the other?

R. Only by our effort to be closer between us and to ask for the Creator to connect between us. In such a way we can skip over that distance both emotionally and in also both emotionally and corporeally even.

33. S. (52:10) This help that we receive from the Creator, do we, are we aware of it, do we realize it, does it come in the form of the recognition of evil?

R. Help arrives in several ways, there are those that, such ways that we feel come and clothe us and give us more strength in our mind, in our heart, more sensitivity that we have towards friends, there are those that those ways that are opposite of that, it is hard for us to differentiate and say oh that we received help. That is how it is.

34. S. (53:14) I heard you say that the prayer should be from the depth of the heart and not in order to receive the answer that you want, so what is the heart and why do we pray then if not in order to receive an answer to what we want?

R. Just seems to me very very strange that I, when I ask, I already am willing to only receive the answer that I want to receive. I think that I appeal for a council, for advice and I want to hear from the Creator what is good for me. What is the truth not what I want to receive I will receive in return, otherwise why should I even turn to him?

S. Prayer from the depths of the heart is actually to get council from the Creator?

R. Advice, no matter what it will be, unconditionally.

S. How do I know that despair is despair of my own forces, that it is purposeful on the path and not egoistic despair from something corporeal I wasn't able to achieve?

R. Invest more forces and now you will see.

35. S. (54:59) Many times the Kabbalists write to us that a person should believe, how does it turn out about facts about the Creator hears everyone, helps everyone and I should believe it or know it, what is it between these two?

R. Repeat again.

S. There is a fact, there is a truth that the Creator hears everyone and helps everyone and there is this matter that I should know about it and I should believe it. These are two things that are parallel to each other ,you say that I should believe it, what does it give me?

R. The fact that the Creator helps, teaching everyone, pushes a person towards correction despite that for a fact that for a person it appears as not really happening.

S. That is that so long I do not accept it, that I do not see that it is truly working in this way?

R. It is not a matter of how you start to see it but until I believe and see that every moment what I receive comes from the Creator and that he is leading me to the goal no matter what, even if I have to go through hell to get there.

S. This means that the fact that I believe that this is how it is, this is how he is leading me?

R. Again you can switch things over again, what can you do? It all still, will become smoother.

36. S. (57:00) Is it correct to say about the ten that's so long the ten is only immersed in itself and its connection within itself the Creator will not help it and only if the ten will start thinking outside of itself then the Creator will help it?

R. Not necessarily so, it does not have to be that way.

S. The ten is immersed in itself then….

R. There is no more to hear, to begin with the question is wrong.

Reading 38 (57:39) “The evil inclination in his body has the power not to let him believe..” twice

37. S. (01:00:02) Why does the Creator put us in actions that are not for His consent even though we demand the opposite?

R. So that we will start to feel where we are. We need to feel before the places where we seemingly are not. We as created beings can differentiate only between light and darkness, black and white, good and bad, otherwise we will not feel between all these discernments. Therefore the Creator has no choice but to build the world from opposite forms and this is how He did it.

38. S. (01:03:00) What state do we need to receive the greatness of the Creator reason or above reason?

R. At first we receive the greatness of the Creator above reason because we do not know or feel and then we hope to get to know him and feel him within reason.

39. S. (01:04:33) Is the recognition of evil already the work in the heart or is it still work in the brain and the mind?

R. Yes.

Reading excerpt #39 (01:04:55) “Because of the striking of the upper light, which strikes…”

40. R. (01:05:10) This is written in the Study of the Ten Sefirot.

Continue reading #39 (01:07:03) twice.

Reading #39 again (01:13:10)

41. S. (01:15:05) What kind of experiment do we have to have in the ten in order to renew the concept of one. What should we do, quantitatively or qualitatively?

R. In order to rise to a higher degree we need to see the Achoraim of the higher degree and we need to overcome in order to join the higher degree and that is why we do not choose these states and I do not also decide what type. So as soon as we come closer to a higher degree then we start seeing all of the Achoraim of the degree which appears before us and by that we start seeing what we need to overcome. Usually it is just like we say it is the matter of unity of connection that is, that There Is None Else Besides Him, that He Is The Good That Does Good, around the center of the ten one will help his friend in such ways.

42. S. (01:16:48) What is the meaning of not annulling the Masach? What is the advantage of not annulling the Masach.

R. I do not want to change anything other than changing my attitude to what I feel. That in front of me I have all kinds of obstacles and problems in all kinds of matters and I want only one thing to relate everything to the Creator and to measure it, to weigh as Good That Does Good that I accept it as coming directly from Him in such a way that I respond in such a way that these the disturbances that I know discover so that they will not be disturbances but they will be connectors to the Creator.

This is what I want to happen: that the forces of rejection will become forces of connection. We sometimes see that in our world, that from fighting with one another then suddenly we see that through all these kinds of things we can actually come closer to one another. Where does this come from because it doesn't matter either coming closer or further it only depends on appreciation.

43. S. (01:18:33) What are the two kinds of work in the Masach? One time to reinforce it and one time to overcome but not to cancel it.

R. Okay.

44. S. (01:19:03) What is the process of constructing the Masach in the ten when you have a multitude of thoughts?

R. Multiple thoughts, what is the process of correction; only to connect everything to the Creator and to ask from Him for Dvekut and then all of these thoughts each one will get their place and will show you that we are all aimed at that one goal and there will not be any problems with any multiplicity.

45. S. (01:19:52) What does it mean to keep the Masach and question with the Masach above reason? Can you explain more about it?

R. The work of the Masach is that I use the force of the Creator to be above my desire. That is actually the work of the Masach. That's prior that of course I need to pray to the Creator that He will help me to adhere to Him that I will receive from Him the force of connection and then through the Masach I will be able to rise to a higher degree from separation of now to the connection of a higher degree.

46. S. (01:21:02) As I understand we build the Masach in the ten through the connection between us and when we reach a stable connection we attain that screen but what is the Haka’a or the  light on the Masach? What do you do with it?

R. The upper light wants to enter the Kli; the will to receive but the Masach, the way it resists its entry, it rejects this light and this is called the Haka’a.

47. S. (01:21:46) It is written in the excerpt, “that the joy comes from the scrutiny.” What does that mean?

R. That to the extent there are more scrutinies there is fuel for the flame of joy.  If there's not so much scrutiny it is good it's not as bad and now it's a little better it is just like lighting a match. But if there were great scrutinies: hatred,rejection eventually you see that it is all solved and resolved and it becomes a place of peace, wholeness the fire love is burning and it is truly a joy and the great revelation.

S. What is the scrutiny? Questions or states that we go through and they leave a certain impression on the person, a conclusion?

R. Scrutiny is the status of good and bad which are being scrutinized one in comparison to the other and the truth that is between them. That they need to connect and bring us a point of truth which is the Creator.

48. S. (01:23:30) How do we construct the Masach between us in the ten?

R. Each one wants to bestow upon the others. Then that is how we build the mutual Masach.

S. Why does it resist, the Masach?

R. It is against our ego, each one that wants to annul the other.

49. S. (01:24:08) I'm not sure how to ask but there's a friend in the ten who has a very difficult health situation with her child. We do everything we can do in order to come to None Else Besides Him but there is a great deal of anger at the Creator. How can we come from such a state to rise above reason and justify, to be in joy?

R. We simply need to pray for her; for the child period.

50. S. (01:24:55) It turns out that we have two upper ones. One upper one that we cannot attain and one upper one which is the next degree where we can check that the Creator is actually getting contentment?

R. Yes.

51. S. (01:25:20) Can we say that the initial Haka’a is the, “Beloved for me” and when we sustain the Masach this is, “me for my beloved?”

R. It is possible that it works like that for you, yes.

52. S. (01:25:59) It turns out that if the thoughts strike a person and do not let him, give him any rest does that mean that he does not have faith above reason?

R. no translation.

53. S. (01:26:59) Another question on the scrutiny. How can we deepen the scrutiny as we describe before with the fire, a lot of emotion?

R. no translation

54. S. (01:27:10) Who is doing the scrutiny in the ten? The person or you ask the Creator to do it?

R. The scrutiny is done only by the light; it is clear that a person cannot do it at all; he only feels the state that he experiences through his desire and the scrutinies he goes through goes through all of these desires and he scrutinizes them.

S. How can I check that the scrutiny is correct?

R. When the person wants the rise to all forms of light which are higher than what he has in him and that is how he scrutinizes it. That is called the scrutiny on behalf of a man.

55. S. (01:28:07) What does it mean to bring additional light in the upper degree? What does it mean to bring joy above?

R. That we ask from a higher degree to help us scrutinize something on our degree, which is the lower one and then we cause light on a higher degree-sorry on the lower degree, that it needs to receive it from the higher degree,process it and pass it on to us and by that we lead to the addition of light in all of the higher degrees.
