Rabash - The Main Thing We Need
1. Rav’s Introduction (00:33): We will read this short article from Rabash the main thing we need and it will accompany us at the beginning of the lesson. What is he saying? The main thing we need and for which we have no fuel for the work, no urge, no energy, is that we are lacking the importance of the goal. We lack importance of the goal. It's always lacking in anyone, it's just endless, that is we do not know how to appreciate our service towards the Creator so as to know to whom we are bestowing. That's the problem, so what is the problem then? That the Creator will open himself up a bit and then we will know who to bestow to. No, there has to be a deficiency and then according to the deficiency we can then open it up and bestow to Him. The vessel has to proceed the light.
Also we are lacking the awareness of the greatness of the Creators to know how happy we are that we have the privilege of serving the King, meaning how happy we are in that we can come to serve Him. If we truly had the feeling, understanding, awareness of the greatness of the Creator, even just the slightest belonging to it, it would already elevate us. Since we have nothing with which to be able to understand His greatness now, we are in lowness. Now the lowness that we are in and now feel, is it for our own good? Or is there any other choice? No, each and every state we feel, each and everyone and all of us together, to some extent, all those states are necessary for us to go through, we just need to go as quickly as possible, move from state to state from one state to the more advanced state and this is called in the words of the Zohar divinity in the dust. Divinity is the revelation of the Creator, the feeling of the Creator, so that to us is in the dust, meaning there is no importance of it, meaning that bestowal upon the Creator is as important to us as dust, it is unattractive.
Naturally, we have no fuel to work since without pleasure there's no energy to work, that's how we are built in the meantime that only in our will to receive, as much as the will to receive feels there is something in front of it then it has fuel to work. Where self-love shines the body derives some vitality from this. That he has something, that it gets something, it expects something but in the work of bestowal the body does not feel any pleasure in this, no one feels pleasure in bestowal. We are all still submerged in the will to receive. Naturally, he must collapse under its weight, meaning we are in the will to receive and the will to receive lies on us, is weighing on us and is directing us to where the pleasure can be felt more. Conversely, when one feels that he's serving an important King, if a person feels that, that he's serving an important King. To the extent of the importance of the King so is his delight and pleasure from serving Him. Hence, he has fuel that can give him the power to go forward each time since he feels that he's serving an important King.
Meaning, everything depends on sensing the importance of the Creator, the more important He is, opposite my ego, so I can serve Him and not myself. Then when he knows and feels to whom he bestows, an important King as we said, to the extent that he had the strength to work with the intention of self love, now he has the strength to work in order to bestow, meaning it's no longer him being important, his ego, the person himself but rather the King in front of him is more important. That's what he feels, in all his feelings, in all his mind and then he's certainly drawn to the King and now he has fuel and he can go forward because he feels that he's serving an important King. Everything depends in short on importance. Who is important in short? Me with my ego, my convenience, whatever I have or the Creator who can fulfill my entire world?
Then when he knows and feels to whom he bestows to the extent that he has the strength to work with the intention of self-love, now he has the strength to work in order to bestow since one who bestows upon an important person is regarded as receiving from him. And since the body has the strength to work for reception, in order to receive reward, that's how we are built, he created the evil inclination, likewise in bestowing upon an important King he derives pleasure in this. So, basically we are not changing anything except that instead of me being important to me the Creator is more important to me than myself and to the extent that the Creator is more important than me being important, these are the degrees of ascent all the way to the final correction. These are the degrees. By this we will understand what is written in the introduction to the study of the ten Sefirot concerning the matter that if she gives and he's an important person she's sanctified.
This is regarding the matter of the wedding that the groom has to give a gift to the bride, typically a ring. If he marries her and she is less important than him so it is not that he gives him a ring and buys her by that, rather she gives him and if he agrees to receive, if he goes down to her from his great degree then that means as if she received from him, meaning that's how we also sometimes feel towards people that I want to give someone a gift and that it is a great privilege for me that he will take that gift from me. Because the more great and important he is, if he received the gift from me it's as if he did good to me. I will read this sentence again, by this we will understand what is written in the introduction to the study of the ten Sefirot concerning the matter that if she gives and he's an important person, she's sanctified because of the pleasure of receiving from him. Therefore, even though she gives but by him receiving that is equal to him receiving.
We are seeing something new bestowing upon an important person is tantamount to receiving. Although he references the essay about matrimony in the context of reception in order to bestow, at which time reception means bestowal. So, it doesn't matter what he gave and received in practice, like some object who gives and receives, the importance is that who internally feels that he receives or gives. If I am bringing a present to someone important and he receives it from me, it's as though he gave to me. That's how I feel it, he did good to me by receiving from me. We are seeing something new bestowing upon an important person is tantamount to receiving although there he references the essay about matrimony in the context of reception in order to bestow at which time perception means bestowal.
From this we can understand the other side of the coin that bestowal is called reception and because of this he already has fuel, for if he bestows upon an important person, it is to him as though he's receiving from him because he is important. Therefore, he already has the power to work. It follows that all we need is to believe in the greatness of the Creator and then we will have the energy to work in bestowal. Meaning, if between us there is a feeling that the Creator is important, if we always talked about it and influenced each other in this way that the Creator is important than bestowing upon the Creator would be easy and other than that we do not need, just bestowing contentment to the Creator and then we are in equivalent of form with Him, reveal Him, feel Him and essentially are already in the world of bestowal instead of our world of reception.
1. S. (13:52) What does it mean the feeling of the greatness of the Creator?
R. You never felt like you gave someone a gift and you felt that him taking it is like he was giving to you?
S. Yes, of course there were such feelings in these examples that are relevant except for in these examples there's a feeling and there's also a direct contact with him, with the important person and with the Creator we don't have it.
R. Also with the Creator you will have the same state, the same relationship. Look how a mother gives to her little child, another spoon and another spoon of something and he eats it, and when he does she feels like he's giving to her, not receiving from her. He's doing good to her, he's bringing her a gift, literally, if we will equate it to money every time he receives from her she would pay him. Whenever he takes another spoon and another spoon of something, meaning the giving itself doesn't mean anything rather what we feel with in towards the others and therefore if we love others then for us giving them is like receiving. It is literally like receiving until all my vessels that I wanted to receive the entire world are filled by giving to the world. That is basically the wisdom of Kabbalah, the wisdom of how to receive and that takes us to the complete correction.
S. The only question is how do we come to such a feeling where we feel in the other that he is so close that I feel the Creator and love Him?
R. He's saying take an example and start working according to that example.
2. S. (16:34) After we get the importance, we get the fuel. This fuel, is it pleasure or ego? What is it exactly?
R. The fuel is the desire that gives me the opportunity to bestow.
3. S. (17:09) How does a person understand that the feelings that come to him come to him from someone from the outside and not some internal process in response to my efforts?
R. How does it matter? What does it matter? What is important is just how I can resemble the Creator and then to the extent that he's important in my eyes I will be able to bestow to him and discover that he bestows to me and by that we will be similar or bonded with each other.
4. S. (17:56) I have some confusion with this example if I have importance and I gave to someone important and it's just like reception for me so I'm staying in reception so where is the bestowal?
R. No. You don't stay in reception, you want to fulfill him, you want to give to him but if he's important in your eyes then youre giving to him is like receiving and you are able to do it. You think you ever give anything to the Creator? What will you give Him? He doesn't even have the will to receive, the Creator only has the will to bestow. How can you connect with Him? Only on the condition that you are able to bestow to Him, your vessels, your desire to receive from Him.
What he did and look at how he did this deliberately, to begins with, that you will have a will to receive and only to the extent that you transform it in in order to bestow, which means that in order to bestow the desire doesn't change, that desire is to enjoy but in order to bestow, you make it that way that gives you a vessel to bestow to the Creator that you’re reception from him becomes bestowal upon Him and then you are fulfilled with all that the Creator wants to give you, and then you understand why he made the restriction and doesn’t give you in the vessels of reception so that you move away from Him even more.
When you rather receive from Him something minimal, the feeling of this world, the sensation of this life in this world that is what He gives you other than that, nothing more than that. More than that you can feel through Him only through equivalence of form, where you give Him an opportunity to bestow to you so that He will enjoy. What we actually are building within us is a desire to give Him pleasure, to please Him and according to our desire to bring Him continent the vessel to receive from Him open up and that is reception that is completely equal to bestowal because as much as I receive from Him I'm actually doing good to Him, I’m giving Him pleasure. It is like a little child that receives from his mother, he doesn't understand it but we do. That if we receive from the Creator in order to bestow to Him that to us is an action of bestowal on our part and on the Creator’s part it is also an action of bestowal and it turns out that we are bonded.
5. S. (21:20) The gift itself is not important, only the importance of the Creator is what matters?
R. Of course, of course. We later discover, what is it that we we have to receive from the world from the upper worlds, from fulfilments and so forth it all depends on the vessel and the vessel when he receives let's say one gram but if I got it from the Creator who is the greatest of all, then accordingly I measure what I got. I don’t look at what I have in my Kli, what I got but rather from whom did I get and then it turns out that I received the light of Ein Sof.
S. What do we have to give the Creator? What is the gift? What are we trading with Him?
R. To prepare our vessel for receiving the fulfillment from the most important to the most high, the closest there is.
S. What is the importance of the Creator and what is this importance? How do I increase this importance every time?
R. More important than my ego. That's why the Creator says I created the evil inclination that will have the opportunity to sort out all the progress towards correction, to clarify in advance, it all is measured by the will to receive without our will to receive we will never be able to measure any movement, any distance, any actions.
6. S. (23:02) The end of this action as Rabash writes there, that it is just like reception, does that mean that it is reception in order to bestow right? Just like we learned about inner light with the Partzuf? Is this what Rabash meant?
R. Well imagine to yourself let's say that you are in contact with the other and whatever each one receives he's actually as if giving it to the other and then we don't care who receives and who gives we don't take that into account, we only take into account the level of adhesion between us. How much closer we get between each other. That is clear right?
S. Yes, thank you. I need to, this thing is, I don't know, maybe you can help us. It's as if he doesn't dress in my regular intellect or mind?
R. I think this should be understood by any person because it's just reception and bestowal, l the way it is explained here is clear to any person. You definitely gave gifts to other people or received gifts from other people so you can tell the difference between this and that and how the mother treats a baby so when the baby receives from her, he receives because his mother loves him as much as he receives he's actually doing good to her. That's it, that's understood for us. That's how we behave with little children. You even promise them that if they eat this and that then you are going to buy them some toy. He receives food and he receives the toy, so where is the bestowing? On his part he is fulfilling your desire so that's how we should transform reception into bestowal and bestowal to reception.
7. S. (25:27) In what is there bestowal here if in the end it is a type of reception with a different direction?
R. Because bestowal is in what each and everyone feels, we are not giving anything to the Creator; he doesn't have vessels that we can fulfill. No, we only fulfill Him because we are relating to Him in this way, that's all. Nothing changes. If you look from outside you see that the bride groom gives the ring to the bride, that's how they get married. The bride when she received from him that indicates that he gave to her but it also says in the same book in the Talmud that if he is an important person he doesn't even need to give her anything because if he even receives from her, not even just giving but if he receives the ring or something from her that means she has received from him because the matter is not the object itself whether it is a piece of gold or whatever it is but it's about him agreeing to connect with her and receive from her.
So the matter of reception and giving is measured by the importance of people, one towards the other. Now in receiving in order to bestow, we are in the system of Adam HaRishon after the corrections in a state that everyone wants to receive from the others because he wants to bestow to the others and thus we come to such complete, whole connection between us, a complete connection because everyone opens his vessels of reception because he wants to give to the others and then each and every one is participating as one and thus we come back to the vessel of ADH but there the separation between them was not apparent and here we achieve connection that is above the separation and that is the Wisdom of Kabbalah.
S. Our giving to the Creator is our importance of Him? Our importance of Him in our eyes? How are we giving Him?
R. Our giving towards the Creator is like we give Him our desire so that he bestows to our desires but our desire is already going to be in an intention to bestow. Meaning, we lock up our decide we don't want to receive anything, this is called a restriction and then we open it up only to the extent that I want to receive from the Creator and in order to bestow to Him so I prepare my Kli, I do this inner preparation that I come to the Creator and receive from Him everything He wants to give but as long as I have the intention that in this kind of reception I bestow to Him.
I make Him happy and He rejoices in me, that's our preparation and that's the correction that's all of the corrections and where we later discuss in the rest of Kabbalah coarseness, roots level 1 2 3 4 lights, Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya, Yechida, worlds, measures, Partzufim, it is all measurements, amounts of how much we can receive in order to bestow to Him, receive more, bestow to Him more, receive more, bestow to Him more until we reach a state where everything He wants to give we receive. You understand what kind of pleasure then we give Him?
S. What is this desire, this vessel that we need to have so that the Creator will bestow to it?
R. Our desire, he built a desire in us. If in that desire, we can bestow to Him, this is called bestowal.
S. Desire for what?
R. It doesn't matter for what, for whatever He wants. Imagine a baby closes his mouth and he doesn't want to receive from Mommy and then he makes a calculation that says I will open my mouth only to the extent that I want to bring her contentment and then he begins receiving and a bit more and then a bit more until he comes to a state where all that the mother wants to give him, he receives from her and he's fulfilled. Imagine the kind of pleasure a baby has from fulfilling himself in a material way but mostly in doing good to his mother, giving to his mother and how much the mother enjoys giving to the baby, but most importantly in this whole process is to begin to feel what kind of pleasure the Creator receives from us.
What we receive, we receive a teaspoon of porridge or something, whatever the mother prepares for the kids but when he feels the pleasure that he gives his mother in that, that's what he needs to achieve and that's how he achieves this state of the mother, what she lacks that we want to give him and also she has pleasure in giving to him so this baby comes to the level of the Creator. That is the wisdom of how to receive in order to be similar to bestowal just like the Creator, to understand Him, feel Him, identify with Him.
8. S. (32:27) Does the Creator need us to build him anew by our good relations to others?
R. The world doesn't understand what it wants as you can see. It’s disconnected from the system of governance and higher guidance and we have to gradually open to the world the truth where we all are, in what kind of connection and so forth. Otherwise people are not people, as it says that they all seem as beasts because all they think about is how they fulfill their vessels of reception which are just their corporeal beastly vessels.
9. S. (33:39) How do we turn the concept of an important King to something that is closer to my heart? I understand intellectually that the Creator is important but he's not in my heart.
R. Think about it, as much as possible, think how do you realize it through the group that's certainly the closest fastest path to reach understanding and feeling of this action, maybe not even an action but a process.
10. S. (34:26) It is not clear how the Creator feels pleasure if there are no vessels, just like the mother doesn't have vessels to feel pleasure. How do we know we are giving pleasure to the Creator?
R. To the extent that we can truly bestow contentment to the Creator we begin to feel that we are doing that. This is called the revelation of the Creator to the created being. If I truly bestow to Him I have the ability in the Kli to bestow to the Creator and then to the extent that I bestow I'm also revealing the Creator. I reveal in my vessels to whom do I bestow. These descernments we still cannot exactly detect them within us still but bit by bit it will happen. We are getting closer in the near future. You will feel more and more how that happens in us.
11. S. (35:58) I was before a great person but I didn't think that I was bestowing before him I was just afraid of him and I stood before him and I was sweating and I just wanted to disappear. How do you develop such feelings before a great person?
R. It is not a great person like we are talking in the wisdom of Kabbalah. In spirituality, you feel that the person is both great and to that extent also close to you because if you come to a point where you recognize the greatness then you also recognize the importance there and you feel his attitude as the good attitude towards you. And that neutralizes all your fears. It says in a place where you find the greatness of the Creator there you will also find his humbleness. How humble He is, how close He is to you. He as if descends to you and embraces you as a friend. That's how we come to awareness of the Creator, this is what it's called adhesion, if you prepare your vessel's correctly that's how you feel. You are not afraid, you are not ashamed sometimes yes because it is opening a new vessel that you still need to correct but you have no actual trembling and fear that could be only if you know someone great from this world because whoever is greater in this world has a greater ego and that means that he actually scares you more, whereas towards the Creator it is not that at all, you feel his greatness, his closeness and there is nothing negative about it.
12. S. (38:34) When we engage in connection with the friends and love of friends I forget about the greatness of the Creator so what should I do?
R. No, you have to prepare yourself before you connect to the friends that you are going to connect with the friends in order to attain connection with the Creator otherwise, your action is useless, it has some use for sure but very very insignificant.
13. S. (39:29) Dealing with feeling the lowliness in relationships in the ten is this a necessary condition to attaining spirituality?
R. Yes.
S. Can we say that lowness is the opposite of pride?
R. Yes, you could put it this way.
14. S. (40:02) Is the quality of bestowal canceling the importance of the receiver?
R. No, we need to understand that in correct reception everything is accumulated.
15. S. (40:29) The topic is quite clear there is just one thing I don't understand, you say that if we receive from the Creator we are basically bestowing to Him but I didn't understand what, what did we receive from Him?
R. You will see what you have to receive. You have the vessels for it, why are you studying?
S. What do I study for? I have questions in my heart: what is the point of my life?
R. Exactly you have deficiencies that you didn't even know but you have something that you want to receive that is it. This is why you are studying, advance and you will see.
16. S. (41:15) How do we develop an appreciation and importance to something that is not in our senses?
R. You have in your senses an attraction to the Creator, this everyone has.
17. S. (41:35) If I understood correctly if I bestow to the Creator since he's important in my eyes then it is an egoistic type of reception, then usually we learn that, an external example if I give something to someone great in my eyes and he’s important that is egoistic. Now you explain to a friend the moment I begin to feel what kind of pleasure the Creator receives from my bestowal then the bestowal becomes real, so then I have a question. Where do I receive this knowledge and confidence?
R. Everything is through the group. When you bestow upon the friends when you want to do good to them and you help them get closer to the Creator by this you open up the vessels of bestowal and this is how you come to a state where you can be in connection with the Creator as well, this is why it is called from the love of people to the love of the Creator. Okay?
18. S. (42:57) It's very important to the ten how we take the time for a few minutes of preparation. How do we do this?
R. You need to prepare beforehand. Why am I coming? What do I want to receive from the ten and then you will see how by this you are getting closer to each other correctly in order to establish the common vessel, the common deficiency.
19. S. (43:35) Without a vessel of reception how can the Creator feel and receive our bestowal to Him?
R. What the Creator can receive from us? We don't need to worry about that, we need to worry about how we receive from Him so as to please Him.
20. S. (44:04) How can I not be filled with pride by giving to the Creator and be filled with the importance of the Creator and bestowing to Him and not to myself?
R. Everything is according to the work in the group. There you have a laboratory where you prepare yourself for the right connection with the Creator.
21. S. (44:26) What am I to do if I have no power to restrict myself from receiving the refreshments? How can I prevent myself in order to bestow to the Creator?
R. We cannot limit ourselves or restrict ourselves, this will never work. We have to replace importance with whom are we dealing, what are we dealing for? This is our only work. If I confine myself, restrict myself, constrain myself and don't receive by this I’m closing my vessels of reception so I need to come to a state where I don’t want to use a certain reception because I have the possibility to receive elsewhere from someone else I prefer to increase the importance of the Creator in my eyes and then in this way we do come to a meeting with Him and reception from Him, and when I cancel some vessels in me it cannot be. We always advance in our desires to receive and all our work is already to prefer the connection between the Creator and the group to everything else, that is it, don't think about restricting, constraining.
S. (46:07) What does it mean to discover how humble the Creator is?
R. We attain it along the way.
22. S. (46:20) In order for bestowal to not just be a clear repetitive formula what can be each time added in bestowal and in receiving from Him, where is the innovation?
R. We need to innovate in the connection between us with the friends. There we will begin to discern all these discernments and then we understand what happens in reception and bestowal, there's nothing more to do.
23. S. (47:04) How do I identify that the Creator enjoys me using my will to receive to benefit Him?
R. You cannot feel that the Creator enjoys you before you can really delight Him, that's it. And for the time being it is through the group.
S. How through the group?
R. Act as it is written, it is explained to you in many places.
24. S. (47:40) To the extent that you care for the spirituality of the friends in the ten is your connection to the Creator?
R. Yes, that's the most correct way.
25. S. (47:54) Through our yearning to help the friends in Arvut to somehow add and always find ways to add, how does that help our perception to be whole? Does it help in any way to reach a higher perception in Arvut?
R. You are asking questions that I have nothing to answer because we have been all through that, why the Creator did all of this in the human society so that we will advance towards connection between us and you are asking me again, go read what is written.
He created this world and the human society and people in such a way so that they would be able to come to spiritual attainment, to attainment, this is how we are built in all of our tiniest discernments, elements, that’s it, so don't ask me about it, go and read it. If you have nothing left in you from what we read then go read it again. I have nothing to say. We took this tiny article of 20 lines and we've been in it for an hour. Guys in this way we will not move forward and also you need to really calculate what you are asking every time, are these questions pertinent questions by which you want to help the friends?
26. S. (49:41) When I give a gift to a friend, what is more correct to describe that the Creator is behind the friend and I'm giving the gift to the Creator or I'm giving you a gift in order to connect to the friends or together we give a gift to the Creator?
R. It doesn't matter, just imagine something of it. You said it correctly.

Baal HaSulam. The Peace (Proof of His Work by Experience)
1. S. (00:18) How is it correct to raise the Creator’s greatness in the ten?
R. By raising it in the group.
2. S. (00:32) How not to fall into praising the Creator like in religion?
R. We have to work according to our text and then we won't fall into anything.
3. S. (00:55) If I still can’t feel how the Creator enjoys how can I receive from HIm? Do I imagine that I do it for Him? Is that not false?
R. I have to prepare myself to bestow to the Creator without any response from Him and then I will be able to shift to a reaction in order to bestow.
4. S. (01:24) The example of giving to an important person is clear, but to give something to others who are not that important that does not dress into the vessels of reception, how do I make that important in my eyes?
R. It depends on the group. If the group talks about it and raises the importance then the person will have importance.
5. S. (01:51) When we bestow to the ten is it correct to say that we are bestowing to the Creator?
R. Yes, it has to be on the same level of importance.
6. S. (02:08) Is it an expression of love and Arvut when we give the greatness of the Creator to each other? Should we be constantly on the lookout for ways to communicate the greatness of the Creator to the ten?
R. We need to understand that the greatness of the Creator and the Creator in general is measured according to the ten. To the extent that the ten is important to me and close to me to that extent I get closer to the Creator and I cannot measure where I am with respect to the Creator unless I first check myself, where I am with respect to the ten. This is our main problem. We don't want to work on this and then it turns out that I cry out, where is the filling? Before I prepare the vessels for it.
Reading (03:40) “But he who wishes to criticize…”
7. R. (03:54) I understand bestowal upon people, they need it to help each other, but why do we need to work this way towards the Creator?
Reader continues: “Indeed history itself…”
8. R. (04:17) Meaning there is something that we need to learn from our lives. What is it?
Reader continues: “Everyone can see…”
9. R. (05:22) In other words there’s a number of people, it was like that this part of the history of Russia. I have no choice, although I really don’t want to talk about Russia because not all of our friends agree with it, our friends from there agree with that, I understand them too, I can understand, but this is the example, that this country is also at the center of human development, and this is why Baal HaSulam takes it as an example. He also understands it, he knows it, he knew the language, he lived in Poland, which was then part of Russia. I even have his notebook where he wrote a little bit in Russian.
So there is no choice. We have to take these things that he writes and understand them historically, so we do not fail again, because the history of Russia is the history of the whole world. We should learn it, why he took it, so what is he saying? That they have everything, but they cannot put themselves in order, as opposed to some small country in Europe, or in America or elsewhere, they’re also not organized or ordered, of course, to work in order to bestow, with the quality, etc., but not so much so that they’re in constant states, like Russia all the time, why?
Reader continues “Instead of rising and exceeding the achievements of…”
10. R. (07:55) Why does it happen that this country moves from crisis to crisis, as if they are thrown into all kinds of corners from above, from Him, what is happening? Other countries exist, they are bourgeois, in their egos, capitalists, in their egos like a herd of animals, and this country is in constant struggles, changes.
Reader continues “Indeed this fact puzzles us since by judging…”
11. R. (08:45) Yes, why is it their fault, why do they constantly have this lack of material, corporeal success, economical success, and they are in constant revolutions. Is it some special sort of characteristic in the Russian person, but there are all kinds of nationalities in the country. Why don't they succeed?
Reader Continues “But this nation has sinned one sin which the Creator…”
12. R. (09:54) In other words, had they developed like the capitalist countries it would have been okay, well, but of course it is written from above for them, so because they went by the line that we connect, and come to something common, so in commonality and connection there are different laws. When you work commonly you can’t do whatever you want. You enter a system of bestowal. In commonality you have to behave differently with one another, and also within the country, don’t take examples from other countries because you are in a communal system and we don’t understand it, and the wisdom of Kabbalah talks about it but people don’t know, they don’t know. Tthis is what happens to them. Their constant lack, daily lack of success.
13. S. (11:05) In the example, in addition that the connection was not for the sake of the Creator, it wasn't there at all, it ended very quickly and became a totalitarian communism and nothing really changed. If that connection was for the sake of the Creator would it be possible that some unity of the nation would happen without the weapon that forced them?
R. Perhaps, we will study, that question is much more complex, because we are seeing our development from here onward until the end of correction and the Creator is seemingly looking at us from the end of correction, so we are at two opposite ends of our path, we are looking from two opposite ends of our path we will see how it works out. For the time being the questions are correct. Appropriate.
14. S. (12:13) Why is it forbidden to love the others in order to benefit our life in this world?
R. Because we are in this world, and in general, and in the system, and in general exist, in order to achieve adhesion with a Creator, and bestow contentment upon Him as He bestows upon us. This is the truth and we have to come to it. That’s it.
S. So why do we explain to the world how to benefit their lives through the wisdom of Kabbalah that things will be better, you will succeed more?
R. Because we cannot tell them any other way, and we are not lying, but the method of our reaching a good life is through the connection between us. Because then we are closer to the Creator and the upper light influences us, connects us correctly and fills us.
S. Only the connection between us without the Creator in the first place, that too works on humanity, on people?
R. To a certain extent yes,
S. But doesn't it bring them to a certain state like Russia where everything falls apart and goes down to the abyss?
R. Soon we will learn why it didn't work out. For Russia it didn’t succeed for several egoistic reasons. They weren’t ready for it, the people were not ready. They didn’t go by the way of having to educate the people first. They didn’t go by a way of having to educate the people first. I remember when we met in Russia with one of the managers of the country, and we talked, so he said so what do you recommend? I said I recommend to educate people, as massively as broadly as possible, completely as possible, and he said, and he spoke in the name of the government, he said. I have in my hands only two things, army and money. With those two I can run the country. I have nothing else, nothing more than that, and yet, by this I saw that we had nothing to talk about. Because he was right, he was right. From his perspective there is nothing more.
15. S. (14:56) According to the example we read, what do we need to learn that lack of correct connection brings about poverty and lack of material success?
R. Lack of correct connection brings the lack of congruence with the Creator and this causes all the other results.
16. S. (15:24) What is the punishment for Russia, for all together they tried to come close to that law of bestowal.
R. Yes correct, but according to the general nature of the world, of the whole universe, of all of reality, the tendency to connection needs to be in order to connect with the upper force, with all of reality, with the totality of reality, and this didn't exist, it existed only on a limited scale, within one country against other countries.
S. What is so special with Russia as far as history? There are many others, there is all of Europe.
R. I can’t talk about it now, and in general, I am sorry but there is a problem here, that if we talk about it, it causes negative phenomena to our organization because some of the people disagree and don't have the tools to examine the general situation, and therefore they cannot agree with what is written, and they quit. Yes, just so. I'm talking about Russians. I do not want it to happen, at least that it will not happen before we scrutinize these states, and discover what is correct and what is incorrect, because the process in corporeality, in our world, is not over, it’s far from it, and therefore we have to wait, and not add oil to the fire, and wait until maybe, the spirits calm down, then people calm down, and that way they will be able to clarify those things more completely and in a more balanced way, so that brings us into more connection and not into division.
17. S. (17:57) The Communists tried to bring in parallels to the Creator, something that is a beautiful rosy future, communism. Was that a correct attempt or did that not help at all?
R. I am sorry but I cannot talk more right now. Let’s just study this article as it is, and each one will get into it as much as he can. After some time we will have different states, internal and external, and then we'll be able to go deeper into it. Understand me, I get responses from our friends in Russia and they are unwilling to accept Baal HaSulam’s approach to what is happening, his relation to what is happening, and therefore I am avoiding it.
18. S. (19:14) Can we learn also from what Baal HaSulam is writing about what happened here in Israel in the Kibbutz? Because people who entered the Kibbutz were more ideological.
R. We’ll study it, we’ll study it, don't worry. I don't need such tips, such councils. Just understand that I want for our benefit that we will exist, study and we will kind of go through these things, in a way that we don't go totally against it, but kind of diagonally, like the way you walk in the sea.
19. S. (20:01) Now when you start to talk I feel that because of me the international Kli does not receive a sort of support, an explanation from you?
R. It is all good, don’t worry, don’t blame yourself.
S. I simply want to understand, how I don't accept what is being said, what Baal HaSulam writes.
R. Look I cannot explain these things now, you suddenly went to such states that we are in two camps, so to speak, and I don't want to divide our society Bnei Baruch into two camps, because one camp is against what Baal HaSulam says, and according to its situation I understand it, they quit, they disagree, they can’t listen to it, so quit, so drop it, let these things calm down so we will understand a little bit more in a month or two, we will understand what is going on. So drop it.
We have to learn the article and it is good that we see how we are in all kinds of intermediary states here, and we have this inner disagreement among our friends, but we will talk about it in a few more months. You see, I am not silencing it I am saying that there are contradictory views, and now I'm not giving them a place, and I'm also asking you don’t start stirring up contradicting views, conflicting views, we need to leave our conflicting views as if they don’t exist, but we need to leave them aside. There will come a time when we can bring them up, accept them, reveal them, and then discuss them and understand, and not now. Clear? That is it.
Reading (22:52) “Try to imagine if every person in that society …”
20. R. In other words, if we worked for the sake of everyone, without our will to receive, then of course we would succeed many many times more, it’s called 620 times more, it is infinitely more, because then we would be working from a desire to bestow which is unlimited and all of the reality in all of the worlds. This is how we could advance.
Reader continues (24:50) “There is no doubt that within a few years …”
21. R. If they would act according to the laws of the upper nature, thinking of the entire reality, the creature’s entire vessel of Adam HaRishon, yes…
Reader Continues (25:42) “There is no doubt then within a few years…”
22. R. (28:47) This means that those who act according to the rules, seemingly of connection, will very quickly shift back to the rules of the ordinary egoistic society, they can’t hold that. That’s why we see that in such countries there are many changes and disorder, yes, because the laws of nature will punish them, because they’re incapable of keeping their laws, meaning they touch the rules of connection but they cannot fulfill their conditions. That’s why they go into greater forces that will ruin them on one hand.
On their other hand they look at the laws that apply in middle class society that is also advances, but they cannot keep them, that is why he says it's a problem forever, until, he says, until they decide and go to a different form of existence, for the laws of nature will punish them because they cannot keep the rules, meaning to do actions of bestowal to his fellow friend, as in doing it for God's sake, not just bestowing to others, but to emphasize this, to come from that to the purpose of creation, which is adhesion in the Creator. In the way that this Dvekut, adhesion, comes to the worker in the measure of his pleasant and pleasurable bounty which increases up to the desired measure for rising to know his genuineness, of the Creator, ever developing until he is rewarded with the excessiveness implied in the words “the eye has not seen God besides You”, meaning to reach this stage where truly the Creator is revealed and filling them completely.
23. S. (31:31) How can we disconnect from that feeling of belonging to different nations, meaning each to his nation? I, for example, do not feel belonging to my nation?
R. No, we should try to understand what Kabbalists tell us and to what extent do they tell us we should keep it in the group, and bit by bit this will bring us closer to, to be close between us to the big group of Bnei Baruch, and from Bnei Baruch we will feel how we come closer to the general humanity, which is no longer divided to nations and countries, but rather all of us as one man in one heart.
24. S. (32:36) Communism sounds in theory, as a nice idea, it's a nice ideal. We see that in practice whatever they tried to implement a dictatorship was created. Does it have to be that way?
R. It has to be that way because if there's no dictatorship from the Creator then there's the dictatorship from the evil inclination that was created.
25. S. (33:13) Is there an advantage today for the Russian nation for going through what they've been through?
R. Not yet, it sets an example, if someone wants to walk that line. Besides that, what it’s going through, it’s a kind of path that heals the entire humanity.
26. S. (33:47) The Russians ever had a chance to avoid all these problems consciously or was this destined to happen?
R. No, of course they could not avoid, because according to the plan of the creation that’s what that nation had to go through, and I don't want to go through the rest of the details, we’ll understand them out of our studies, because I don't want to lead us to some enthusiasm of views and disputes between us, we have to understand that this thing is still connected to the ego, nationalism, and all kinds of things we're still in. So let's not, let's organize ourselves properly and rise to such a degree that we can talk about it in an objective way.
27. S. (34:55) Baal HaSulam writes that we should rush to satisfy the need of the friend. What precisely is this need, and wish of the friend, that are certainly not from corporeal?
R. If he is my friend, he has needs to connect to me, that is his needs, then I should help him to connect to me and I will connect to him.
28. S. (35:32) How can you use this example for dissemination meaning what can we do here?
R. No, in the meantime I'm asking you to avoid any dissemination. Because whatever you do may be interpreted in one direction or the other because in the meantime they are our two Nations we can call it this way and there is a war between them and we must not take any side neither this nor that, we have to be above that that is why I won't interpret anything I have seen that what I did say I was accepted incorrectly as if I am in favor of one side and not in both sides equally; I want connection between everyone, between them and all the nations and all the world and I am being interpreted I'm being understood in a wrong way that is why we will only go over this article so you will know what the text says somehow and then after things will come down we will be able to explain it.
Reading continues (37:14) “And imagine that the Farmer and the Worker…”
29. S. (44:33) We were following Baal HaSulam in this article and I don't understand why the failure of one country says that there is an obligation to serve the Creator. Maybe there are other reasons to fail, maybe we're not successful as humankind. I don't know where the proof is here?
R. No. He wants to tell us only a simple thing, that if our work will be in order to come closer to the general force of nature and the general force of nature is not some God sitting there above and we have to bow down to Him. But rather it is a general rule; It is a law of bestowal and love, that is the upper force that is above us. And we have to come close to that, bow down before that, to accept that and to correct ourselves to resemble that, this law, this force of nature which is above all other laws and rules and forces.
So, if we understand our development this way we may advance and walk and really get help from that for force, if we are not advancing in that direction then we will get the forces of corrections, such corrections on the path that He made upon us and bit by bit through this blows we will get to see that we are running from one time to another, from one corner to another, and from these blows will start understanding that there is a problem here, and the problem is probably in us and not anyone else and we don't have to fight between us; between countries and Nations by rather we have to fight each one with himself and all the nation with itself in order to resemble the force of bestowal and connection. This is how we reach the truth. It is a simple thing.
S. The thing is every time I get to this part in this article also with students as a proof It doesn't settle: The fact that there is an upper force we can talk about that, the fact that there is a law of equivalence of form we can talk about that, but this use of this example that there's a country that fail and now i proved to you, I always stumble upon a wall. I wish we could prove that…
R. Because we since we'll live like animals in the woods, and animals in the woods are at list connected to their nature and they feel it and that's why they know how to organize themselves properly and instinctively they keep the balance between them, for them everything is organized but we are not like these animals in nature, we are worse. For us each one instinctively is incapable of maintaining the balance and what we want to do is to destroy each other and the result is our life and you see that; we are worse our life is worse than the life of animals. And, this is how we exist, there is nothing here you can do.
S. The thing is that for all the slanders it's very easy to say that maybe humankind is supposed to be destroyed and…?
R. No no no. We have to learn from this whole life, what is the way we should live in order to sustain ourselves and the whole world. Why the whole world? Basically the Creator relates to us this way to prepare ourselves for spiritual life, the complete spiritual life. So, we have to see with every action that takes place that is being revealed in our world, what are we being taught? Our problem is that we don't accept the law of nature as One, overall, when all Nature is one law of connection. If we keep that law of connection and support which is a global force; we can see how it acts and spread over the entire human society, if we would accept that, and try to think how we can come to that? Then we would somehow reveal the Creator because He is that law.
S. Rav, do you believe that we can come to that without following the way of the Kabbalists? Can people come to that idea to accept that?
R. By blows yes, but serious blows as the Baal HaSulam explains to us: Third world war and forth, and such blows as femine, blasphemy where Earth will almost make us extinct, that is maybe. That’s how we can hope we can reach the recognition of the necessity for the connection between us before such destruction, as he writes: When only a small number of people will remain, we will be able to sustain the law of Arvut and connection and love.
These are the laws of nature do you understand? Kabbalists reveal to us the laws of nature. That is we feel it on ourselves, how much we are incapable but that doesn't rid us of obeying that law ultimately; we have to through the Wisdom of Kabbalah, which is being revealed through several people in this world. We have to come closer to obey this law, to keep this rule as much as possible, that is why the groups were given to us, and the Wisdom how to behave in the groups, and now we come closer to each other, and how through this coming closer we can draw good forces from nature that will correct us.
This is how we will advance. What can we do? We have no other way. This was given to us so that we can hasten the path and if we don't do that, we will then through maybe thousands more years and many torments but all in all, we will nonetheless bring us closer to the correction, because we are beings of emotions, feeling, and we cannot stand what we feel in our will to receive, being a negative thing. That is why it's very easy to manage us, to direct us, and this is why we can truly induce great harm upon ourselves. This is what he says, that is why he calls that “the Peace article”.
S. Because simply it feels like human nature is willing to kind of accept the bitter faith and the blows and these dystopia, wars and destruction or maybe thinking that there is a positive solution from the force of nature, It is like everything is tipped in that direction?
R. All in all, everything depends on the place we are placed, between pleasure and torments, and the upper force certainly has a way to lead us to the perfect state, the final correction. However, along with that, He wants to bring it in the closest way with our agreement, our understanding, and He is bringing us all kinds impressions in our feeling and understanding so that somehow from afar will be able to accept his rule of bestowal and connection even though we are on the other side, beyond this nature on the other side of this nature of bestowal and connection. That is how we advance from afar every time by what we call “the surrounding light”. It is a problem. I understand you, it is a problem.
30. S. (55:17) As much as we advance more and implementing the love of others the ego grows and it is more difficult, and I heard i wrote down that we need to be ready to accept all the humiliation we get in order to come closer to the Creator and we can already see you feel on ourselves even that the Creator has no problem of bringing a person to such a state that he is willing for anything just the possibility to bestow to the group, to the world. But with that there's other points that I heard from you that people who go through such states what is happening in the world now, it is very hard for them to justify the Creator and more than likely in this incarnation they can not perform correction at this time. So what to do, it seems that the path of blows is the path of Achishena. Can we advance without the blows somehow or there is no choice and we have to advance only through the blows?
R. I think that only through our dissemination to the broad public. Bit by bit the broad public will be able to accept what we explain, we will explain in the right way, easy and relatable to the public and then bit by bit, the upper light will affect this material that the public will be able to absorb this material, so the upper light will influence that material that will be in the public, from us, from our dissemination, and according to the equivalence of form between the material we bring to the public, the articles and all sort of info; By that the people will start understanding and feeling the effect of the upper light in them. That is how it should happen. But we need to come to the public with our dissemination that the upper light will give its influence on our dissemination; otherwise people will simply reject it and they won’t feel and won’t understand it, as if it doesn't exist. That is how it works.
31. S. (58:08) There is a high demand in society to change the reality that people live in, truly we can discover that it causes people to change. Is it enough for people to be nice to each other without reminding the Creator?
R. But who is the Creator? The Creator is the Good force that does good, and we wanted Him to be revealed within Humanity. It's written “there is no Creator without the created being”, that if we don't build this force we don't want it to exist between us then there is no Creator, there is none. There is a general law that advances the entire reality, all the stars, everything advances toward some goal, as we understand it and we are in it. That’s it.
This is why we don't have to talk about the Creator; we have to talk about the general law that we resides within Human Nature because the whole world is round, and we are under ‘one law’ and we have to reach balance as all nature to a balance, and that ultimately all of us wil be connected; each one will have to come closer to the other this is the law of physics, world physics, and in this way we will reach a state that from the explosion that occurred billions of years ago, we will reach a state whe are all connected again and this is what we are coming closer to. We live on a small Earth and who knows how many more there are. We can explain everything because the Wisdom of Kabbalah enables us to talk about everything and we are unlimited. By the laws of nature we can say that our advancement is basically towards connection. That is what the entire Nature is trending to.
32. S. (01:01:16) How much of the importance of the goal must the worker have to work with no manager for the sake of society, and what tools does he have to keep this importance as we see how hard it is for us?
R. Look, besides me there are several other people and we feel that we are living in some disorderly world and we want to define between us a new order. Let's say it is ten people. And, we decided that we connect between us in absolute laws; which is mutual support of one another, mutual responsibility, connection according to all the discernments.
Instead of according to the ego in each of us which separates us, we want specifically against it to come to an opposite form, to come close to one another. We understand according to the law of nature that there is no choice that at one point we will come closer to one another, also in still, vegetative and animate and in the society of the speaking. We will come closer to this; actually all of reality is moving in that direction, only not for billions of years, we can do this within a short period of time, even above time. Yes. We can shorten times. So, we decided that we will do this because the upper law of human society is the law of connection, from all of nature that is actually connected, so human Society which is the peak of the development of what we see in the still, vegetative and animate. So, we need to connect between us; if we connect we will find the best form of connection and life between us, so let's try.
So, we will arrange between us, inside the ten, laws of connection, not corporeal laws which they do in a Kibbutz or some small communistic communs, no, but rather only mutual support, emotional support; where each thinks of the others, of the friends. All together it's not a lot, no more than ten friends and we want to get closer to one another, and in the correct closeness between us we seemingly create a laboratory; a laboratory in which we want to investigate how we discover the general force in Nature. Then if we perform such relations between us, this force will be revealed and we will be able to study it and understand what it wants of us: How it exists, what true laws there are in the world and what is the human’s destiny? And so on.
Meaning all together we are building between us a laboratory where we want to examine how humanity will come closer to this in the future. For the time being we do it in our ten. So what are these rules? That we draw and observe between us the laws of bestowal, positive ones, not negative ones; opposite to our ego. So we need to, every day, to take upon ourselves, more and more, to implement some law of connection, law of bestowal, altruistic law and little by little, day after day, in a persistent manner. Then we will see what happens with us and then we will also see how we influence reality, the world and the environment? That is what we need to do. This is called: Practical Wisdom of Kabbalah.
33. S. (01:07:17) If I may ask two questions, can we look at the example that Baal HaSulam gives with Russia as some kind of awakening of the internal desire, such desires that with the great resources with the great desire as he describes it but inside?
R. Yes try, it is possible.
S. Second question: Why does Baal HaSulam give us such an example if we learned that only the people of Israel have freedom of choice, so why is he giving us an example of people that had no choice?
R. Because free choice is not in that we received the Torah and we received the method of correction. Free choice is in each and every one if he accepts upon himself the method of correction or not. Free choice for example right now is in you and several other people in the world, you need to decide that you accept upon yourself the method of correction. Meaning it wasn't once the reception of the Torah as it's written every day there is the reception of the Torah, everyday.
34. S. (01:09:07) Each one of our friends in Arvut when we connect has some greatness that I myself I have nothing and he brings up an envy when we work together that the friend can do this and the other friend can do that and together we can elevate this environment and envy. How does this envy influence the world, does our work in Arvut influence the world?
R. Our work in Arvut certainly influences the whole world.
35. S. (01:09:55) What is the dictatorship of the Creator?
R. Since there is laws of nature, eventually they need to take place inside human society, and in free choice on behalf of the society.
36. S. (01:10:25) There is this example before us, for instance the state of Israel, it doesn't give us an impression or inspiration?
R. It's not a state or a Nation it's it's a group. Who are the Jews, Isralies? Those who connected thousands of years ago in ancient Babylon under the heading of Abraham and decided that we are going to observe the law of connection. Love Your Friend as Yourself. It is not a nation, you can’t say that it is Russians, French, Englishmen and Jews, no. Jews are from the world from the word Yichud, unity connection as it's already says they're not connected, but when they connect they will be Jews. Therefore you can’t say about Israelites being Jews, no that's what they call themselves. They also called themselves Israel which is according to the goal, where we are advancing direct to the Creator Yashar Kel, to the force of bestowal and love. There is nothing in this, only direction, so therefore don't look at this nation as it gives you some kind of example. They just took that to themselves to observe. You can today do the same thing what is the difference?
S. No no I'm talking about the state of Israel. There is this framework of a situation where they can't succeed, they don't have resources of nature and their enemies around them. Everything is bad externally, at the same time as they are the most successful country in the Middle East compared to those that do have all these things, so why?
R. Because somewhat nevertheless they observe the plan of creation and there are people among them that do understand, that connection is the future of the world and in this connection they come to the revelation of the Creator.
S. From this example, the truth is it is an example that is tangible for everyone so how can they pass it to people, so what is the problem with Israel to everyone and do everything for the Creator?
R. What are you talking about? All together they don't know anything about this, not the religious, the secular, not anyone. There are a few people nevertheless that observe this somewhat and other than that from this group that is called Israel, it's a group. It's not a nation, it is a group and from this group in the future maybe. Let's hope that soon nevertheless people will emerge that will connect themselves as a group and we'll connect in the whole world groups and this is how the correction will happen.
S. How can we explain it to all the rest of the people if we are saying we should set an example for all other nations? There is a country before our eyes very successful and initial conditions which are very very low, so how can we set an example here?
R. I don't think that can be an example for others because all together we are not like others meaning Israelites, they're not like others. We have in us all kinds of phenomena from previous years when we were connected between us. Where we went through Babylon and held on to connection and unity even corporeally and Kabbalists were connected between us, all of that nevertheless is the foundation of the society.
What is happening on the outside externally is a big mess with the nation itself which exists here in Israel, doesn't understand what and why but within, there still exists and is a fire and a root for the future of the whole world. You cannot take Israel as an example, you can’t, no, also we are not an example, look, we're not an example. The way we behave, what we do we deserve to be alienated from the world altogether. There is nothing good in this country, not according to its laws, not according to its people, not according to anything. We exist truly thanks to the fact that we have a root from them and we must nevertheless bring the world to the end of correction.
S. We always say that the Jews are not connected and the people of Israel are separated, but if you take a Jewish Community anywhere in the world these people are more connected to the people around them. In Israel the society is also very warm, the relation between people for instance, when they're together in the army military service they have warm relations?
R. How can you do that in another country and in another nation? There are thousands of years of oppression of hatred towards Jews from all the nations from all over the world. Thousands of years of pressure external pressure that gave them that character. There are also many negative things in it. You will learn that.
37. S. (01:17:58) I heard that if a country or the state connects, so in order for this connection to succeed it is enough that only a small amount of people will be in the right intention, you don't have to have a hundred percent of people?
R. Correct.
38. S. (01:18:26) How to explain to people that grew up in the times of the previous USSR, they want to go back to that society where everyone was equal, education was for free, how to change their approach?
R. Dissemination being aimed to the Creator I don't see any difference. If you do good to the Creator aren't you doing good for the people or vice versa? It’s not correct , rather you must arrange your attitude towards all people as if it is the Creator, where is the Creator? Within people, as it's written I dwell amongst my people.
39. S. (01:19:52) The Creator will not forgive the nation for one sin they performed, so what does it mean the Creator does not forgive them? They were under his control and they were not in Kabbalah, what calculation can there be with such people?
R. They wanted to perform a human society in which believe in itself like in the Creator. They wanted to raise a person to the height of Godliness without observing all the laws of nature. What they actually did was the biggest warping, deviation of what can possibly be, although what you're asking if they were to connect between us, between them in a nice whole way in connection between them would they be successful? No. Because what is the difference?
If you want to come to the Creator the Creator does not exist, it is the law of connection between everyone. Then you need to love everyone to connect to all still vegetative and animal and speaking in all that's possible in all the worlds in Ein Sof and then in such a way you certainly advance. Whereas iif you do this according to the human laws then you are not taking everything as one mechanism but rather you have these that are better, those that are worse etc etc. Then you are already operating from your ego. What did the communists do during the revolutions 120 years ago or so, what did they do? Whoever did not agree with them they killed, whoever didn't agree but even though differently they were put into such prisons and camps. They did it through oppression and therefore it will not work out, it will not take place.
40. S. (01:22:50) If a person does not learn Kabbalah, he doesn’t understand the Creator's commandments or nature's commandments how can he be punished?
R. It is not a punishment, it is by that the Creator pushes us to come closer to the scrutiny of why things are bad for us.
41. S. (01:23:19) Until today all human connections brought us rivers of blood. Who will protect humanity?
R. Only humanity itself by connecting together and to say as Baal HaSulam says, “enough.”
42. S. (01:23:30) What is the reason we're learning this article now? What is the right way to be together with the group in the study?
R. We are in a very very special situation in which we can advance in good or advance in bad and therefore it is best for us, it is worthwhile for us to understand these articles in order to correct ourselves otherwise before us there are very unpleasant states.
43. S. (01:24:26) If money and power control our ego now in the future society will unity and mutual help control it?
R. It all depends on the extent in which we awaken the upper force and then in the air between us there will be more light, and then we will try to be closer to the light, to bestowal and thus we will advance. We have no choice, we must draw the wisdom of Kabbalah, the wisdom of connection between us and then we will go through the development without blows.
44. S. (01:25:16) There is a feeling that if most of the people are willing to agree to connection and even existence of an upper force what will help the governments agree to that?
R. From above there will be bestowal upon everyone to the extent we will not be able to tolerate what is happening just like it happened several times in history.
45. S. (01:25:44) You're telling us all the time to pray for the upper force but we're also building it between us so I don't understand. What do we build and what are we praying to? Are we building the walls between us of the one force?
R. We pray for the Creator to build a new state between us. That is it, do not add anything else. We constantly need to pray for the Creator to build between us a new state.
46. S. (01:26:52) The Creator is the entire vessel of Adam HaRishon so I want to ask about the peace of the Creator.
R. Repeat. I do not understand what you are asking.
S. The Creator is the entire vessel of Adam HaRishon, so what is the sense for the peace of the Creator? How is it perceived in the senses?
R. The Creator is felt in our sensations if our senses work according to bestowal. In forces of bestowal, intentions of bestowal we then can depict what the Creator is.
47. S. (01:28:02) Baal HaSulam writes that the principle of working in bestowal to others as long as the person is an egoist it is dry, it has no vitality in it that is on the one hand on the other hand place the love of the Creator as my goal what I work for my friend in order to bestow to the Creator is also very slippery you cannot feel it so how can we work with that?
R. I don't understand you. We have materials. According to these materials we read and want to understand more. We have the ten and in the ten we want to connect more and to implement what we are learning in the relations between us and this is actually our laboratory in this is how we move forward. You are in very special work as you are discovering each time new states in the revelation of the Creator to the created being. You are like scientists in a laboratory and you yourselves upon yourselves you are examining and checking and discovering the laws of the spiritual laws of nature you are discovering it between you, and this is how we need to see ourselves. So what from day to day do we discover and what from day-to-day are we advancing day after day and this is how we built the new world.
S. The question is how to put in a thought that has no feeling. How can it turn things upside down?
R. If we do it together through mutual support, “one will help his friend” then we see that suddenly that all those details that appear to us unrealistic which we would not be able to observe are in the ability to observe by us. Then in them and from this also the new world will come to us the new sensation.
S. Why is it so? Why when we work together with something that is not felt like the intention to bestow to the Creator becomes tangible and real?
R. Because we are in the equivalence of form with the Creator and he bestows upon us his nature.
S. What is the meaning of working together for it because each one works on it so what does it mean together?
R. Working on this together is considered that each is not working for himself and that he wants it to take place in the ten, and then his work is against the Creator because in the Creator always is the upper force. We look at the ten in the correct way so this is the form in which the Creator is looked at correctly.
S. How should the work be in our intention in the ten in order to bestow contentment to the Creator? How can we practically put this intention into it?
R. With our pressure to connect because through this pressure between us to bestow to the Creator to come to Him and to bestow to Him to ask from Him that is how we come to connection with Him and it is all through the pressure between us, alone it is impossible to do this.
S. What can we depict in order to bestow to the Creator and what does it mean?
R. That is the general force that manages all of reality and I want to bestow to it so it will arrange my reality and for me to know and get to know and come closer to Him each time more.
S. Why do I want to bestow to him? What does it mean to bestow to him?
R. What does it mean to bestow to the Creator? It is considered that I want to rise above my nature to an opposite nature, from reception to bestowal. I cannot describe to you the Creator in the way that you are asking. Where you're looking for something that will be revealed in your vessels of reception and it will be understood and felt. I cannot do that.
48. S. (01:33:48) From this lesson in general form the previous few lessons it seems that when we reach a certain level of connection the world outside changes as well. Is it so or does it only seem to me to be?
R. It could be. It is called ‘anyone who disqualifies does so in his own flaws’ meaning the way the person is aimed within he sees those things on the outside. Yes?
R.Okay friends we must stop with this. Let us hope that tomorrow we will also attain what we did not attain today. For the time being I'm asking you to try to be in the nice connection between one another and more and more connect in the ten and also between tens, and if you have time until tomorrow in the lesson then let us try to go over the material and advance this way. A warm embrace and all the best from all my heart.
