1. Rav’s Introduction: Returning to the same principle where we come from one system which is called the soul of Adam HaRishon which was shattered, it went through a shattering and we are the result of the shattering, as each one feels himself as a separate part, a stranger to the other parts, resistant to them, measuring himself as outside of them. And therefore our entire observation, vision and our perception of reality and life is felt relative to the other parts of that soul. As much as I feel myself more successful, better, yearning to be more in all kinds of ways relative to the root of the soul of each and every one so accordingly we behave this way. From this state we need to understand our entire spiritual work is aiming us to return to that state in which we will be “as one man in one heart”.

All of our work is the correction of the system of Adam. Adam is called so because the system needs to be Domeh, similar, resembling the upper. The actions of each and every one need to be in accordance with the qualities of the Creator relative to the connection, and the wisdom of Kabbalah explains to us the method of connection, the program of connection, the program of correction. Basically these are the technical guidelines of how we need to change gradually in order to reach proximity to one another and unite ourselves into the same system.

This work is already done against the desire that has been revealed in the shattering of the Kli and despite this egoistic desire, we need to reach connection. Certainly we don't have the forces of connection. We don't even have the desires for this. Rather we receive an awakening from the Creator who shattered us, and we need to turn to Him in order to receive even greater desires than those He awakens in us for connection.

We want to understand from Him the laws of connection, the laws of our commutation and the wisdom of Kabbalah talks about all of this, only of this and no more than this. It talks of how we come closer to connecting and unite and to the extent of connection between us we began to feel ourselves like the Creator. For then as much as we can resemble His nature as one unique and special, then in us also the same rules, laws, and qualities, operate phenomena like within the Creator.

Therefore accordingly we are called Adam those who are like Him and this is how each of us needs to see himself, as attaining those same qualities of the Creator through the connection with others. Then we relate completely different to our existence, to our lives, as much as the forces of nature. And nature in Gematria is Elokim (nature), it is God. These Forces are all pushing us towards connection, towards correction. Then accordingly, we understand that against that force of ego, the force of evil, the personal individual force in each and every one that has awakened by the shattering, we now need to acquire and draw to us the forces of connection in all kinds of ways.

To the extent in which we bring these forces of connection closer to us and bring ourselves closer to one another in the right way, in the correct connection, as the parts of a Lego or a puzzle, or something like that, then accordingly we will feel the qualities of the Creator between us, in the connection between us. This is how we will get to know Him and His nature will clothe in us and if we feel in this work resistance. We feel that we must invest forces in this that we understand that specifically these forces that we need to invest our good forces which help us in our efforts against the forces of separation more and more to understand and to feel the forces of connection and the system of connection.

And this way through the advantage of the light from the darkness, as darkness shall shine like light we come to an understanding of what this unified system is and what the nature of the Creator is. This is how we learn it upon ourselves already. In this work a person needs to also understand that what he feels he feels inside his individual shattered vessel, and that is not how it truly happens outside of him. What is outside of him he needs to accept as the Holy Shechina, as vessels that are all in connection, and at the end of correction, and only the one who negates from his own flaws can advance himself correctly, this way to correction.

Hence, the title also to what we learn it's called my spirituality is revealed outside of me. What does this mean, that other than a person, everything is the holy Shechina, the holy divinity. And there is nothing that is shattered there, but rather one negates from his own flaws as it seems to him that way from his own vessels. When we work on ourselves, each for himself, in that one will help his friend, we will understand how the Creator arranged these things for us to see that we can learn from one another to give an example, to reveal it, to envy and so on and so forth.

Through all of these forces, even the egoistic ones, the seemingly evil forces, we can advance towards Kedusha, holiness, towards connection in spirituality through learning what forces operate in us. Both the good ones if they are found and the main thing is the bad ones. This is how we need to discover our current nature and advance that way, that outside of a person is the holy Shechina and we need to unite with it so to the extent that a person emerges outside of himself and accepts it as being his, that that's his internality, that's his spirituality, then accordingly he comes to the truth. All our work needs to be that way. What all that is inside a person is all a Klipa, the evil inclination, corporeality, his animalistic level, and to the extent in which he is incorporated with what is outside of him with the rest of the people, that is where he establishes and builds his spirituality Everything is all ahead of us and it all only depends upon our correct outlook on reality.

2. S. (11:38) What does it mean that besides me, around me, what appears is only.

R. That everything I see around me, I see through my ego. Therefore I see my ego which is spread out upon the qualities of the Creator.

S. How to see this in the friends?

R. You can't see this, because for the time being, you’re inside your ego and you see it in an opposite manner. Therefore despite what you see, to relate to all of your friends, we are speaking right now only about our friends inside the 10 and inside the group of Bnei Baruch, the world kli, no more than that. Because, in them, the Creator when He brings the person to the good faith and says take, He already arranges the outlook of a person upon his friends in the 10 and in all of our big group. The Creator arranges our observation in such a way that it will be able to correct it and by this we correct our soul.

S. How to correct the observation in the 10 through the friends to see Divinity?

R. It is written about that to ‘do all you can with your powers.’ That you have to come to a state in which you are constantly working on connection. Then to the extent to which you succeed in connection where all of the Mitzvot meaning the commandments from the behalf of the Creator are in order for you to reach a connection with others. ‘Love by friend as thyself’ is a great rule in the Torah, a collective rule that there is nothing outside of that. We only have two goals: to reach the love of the created beings, and from them to reach the love of the Creator. Love is called connection, unification on the highest level. So we need to see how we do this constantly and learn from the wisdom of Kabbalah how to do this through the revelation of evil and by prayer request to receive the good in place of the bad, Move away from the bad and do good is how we work.

S. (14:58) We always use the concept of Adam. If I understand correctly, the concept of Adam that you have explained, in the beginning of the path is the egoistic self that tries to build connection in the 10?

R. We call this egoistic creature also an Adam, a human. Not for what he is now but what he will be in the future. Truth is he is not Adam yet, it is an animal degree and worse than an animal because an animal doesn't have egoistic desires. In the degrees of still, vegetative, and animal there's no desire to harm the other. Rather they want to eat, so he eats. And if he doesn't want to eat, he doesn’t eat. These are simple things and things that don’t go outside of the animalistic body. Just like we sew with animals, they don’t pay attention to each other unless it’s for that sake of nourishment. Whereas a person has the evil inclination, and the evil inclination is revealed in such a way that a person enjoys harming the others. Where the others need to be lesser than him and through this a person feels himself, feels his ego, the will to receive which is called ‘Adam after the shattering.’ We need to correct this desire, meaning our corrections are specifically in the relations between us in the way that we change our attitude from enjoying the fact that we control others to helping them and filling them, being like the Creator, similar to the Creator.

S. We say that we need to be as one man in one heart, how do we do this with these two Adam?

R. We need to come to all the people, being in one desire, in this one. Where each wants to join himself to others in order to fill them, in order to complement and complete them. In order to bring the connection between us to a state where there will be no difference between people, between our desires where we will all be in one complete system which is called Adam, which is similar to the Creator.

3. S. (17:56) We talked about two different people: the egoistic person at the beginning of the path, and this one man, as one man with one heart, at the end of the path.

R. Yes, we are talking about two creatures: one who feels himself within the will to receive, feels reality within this and grasping reality only from there. And the second creature, who connects to the extent with others that he feels reality through the others. Then, that reality is called a ‘spiritual reality’ or the Creator, BoReh.

4. S. (18:43) Does the body and the matter cause the sensation of the feeling of the shattering of Adam HaRishon? Because the body makes us feel separate. It also makes us feel separate, individual feelings. How do we rise above this corporeal feeling in our work of connection?

R. We need to try and come closer to one another, although we don't see any benefit in this. We need to forcefully bring examples to one another, show examples to one another as we come closer to one another; because envy, lust and honor take a person out of the world. Meaning if I see a friend who does that, that he relates nicely to others, he wants to connect with them. Then I look at that and I want to be like him as well, out of envy, out of my ego.

Meaning, to start with we have such tendencies, and then when I behave that way, I build with me all kinds of such foundations that help me come closer to others. We need to show such examples to one another. Even though I don't have any desires to come closer to others, I show my friends that I do want to come closer despite the fact that I don't want it inside -- so that they will envy me, so we’ll be an example. And later, I will look at them as they are doing such efforts and I will also want it, and this is how ‘one will help his friend,’ as it is called.

5. S. (21:01) Connection is the foundational state and all of the other discernments between me and others, inside and outside are an illusion so how can we get rid of the illusion and start living life naturally?

R. Through the efforts we make. By that, when we will make efforts for connection, we will discover, by that, resistance for connection that we didn't have before. To the extent you want to connect, you will feel that you are doing actions for connection without desire. We are in a reality that we can do actions without desire. Spirituality is only the desire, that what I want is how I operate. And then I only work on the desire. In our reality, we can do physical, mechanical actions even if we don't want. Then it turns out that we can enter into spirituality in a manner that we are in corporeality. Just like you enter into the gate, you enter a state that is called spirituality where you work only with the desire before that -- before you enter the gate to spirituality -- you are operating also your egoistic desires and also with your actions. Even though there are physical actions and you don't want, despite that, you can do actions against the desire. Let’s say you come to a friend, you hug him, you study with him and connect with him, even if you don't want, but you could do such actions. Therefore our world is a special world where we must be in until we correct our entrance into spirituality completely.

S. All of these things intellectually sometimes even emotionally but there is a sense of heaviness that falls upon you...

R. That has nothing to do with you. You can't put that in your feelings. You have to do it with your intellect and actions, and then it will come through feelings from above. You are not responsible or control your feelings or emotions.

6. S. (24:08) What is the flaw that we have, only that we cannot connect it to the Creator?

R. Our sin, meaning our blemish, our flaw, is that I feel myself as existing and the others I don't feel. I feel them only to the extent that I can use them, distance them from me or bring them closer. Each in their own way. Only to the extent of the desire and how it can enjoy that coming closer that is beneficial and from distancing what is harmful. This is what I feel, meaning that my sense, my desire to receive, to enjoy, is the only one that operates in me, and accordingly this is how I work.

We start to come to the wisdom of Kabbalah which says that it is arranging for us a different relation, what is beneficial, what is harmful, and what form of connection with reality we need to come to. This is why the wisdom of Kabbalah is called ‘how to receive a new reality that I am in,’ to open it, to get to know it. Because we, as it is written in the Zohar, are the creatures whose eyes are looking inside into ourselves. A person does not see what is outside of him, he sees what’s inside of him. This is how our ego aims us.

7. S. (26:25) Yesterday we spoke about dissemination, so it turns out according to today's lesson, we disseminate to the Creator because outside of us is only the Creator, is this correct?

R. We are disseminating to ourselves, our vessels that appear to us as being foreign. In order to connect my entire soul to me, I must bring awakening to the whole world which is actually my kli, my soul, which is spread that way outside of me. And then I need to seemingly awaken the same people, but it's not people they are my parts. And awakening them and connecting eventually, I need to be connected to them like in the end of correction, it is called. We are in this process of the final correction, where the whole world will have to attain, feel, understand that it belongs to one body, not just one system like the internet or something. One body where we are all connected in our desires, in our plans, in our achievements and our attainments. Meaning, in such a dependency as one hand and one foot belong to one body, this is how we have to attain it. And with the upper light it's not a problem. Even though it seems to us, ‘how can this be,’ it is not a problem. The blows that we begin to receive from the 20th century and onward are general, group, global ones -- these are the blows of the end of correction. Look at this pandemic, it is the first of such blows that truly embraces, circumvents the whole of humanity and this is how it will be from here on out. Financial blows will come, even hunger might come. Meaning what we have learned in Egypt as far as the one group that entered Egypt, now we will learn it in the future. How this happens to all of humanity. Now all of humanity is entering a certain relation with the Creator, with environmental forces, with the special Egypt at the end of correction. Not that we will have to go through everything each time like this, every state. We will learn those differences. It will be with great speed and easier ways. Many of the discernment will pass through the mind and the heart, and not in practice. By the crisis, by diseases, by all kinds of physical problems, but rather everything will be more in spirituality.

S. You said yesterday we can write a question for today and ask it.

R. If it has to do with today's topic.

S. On dissemination.

R. Okay and ask.

S. How do we prepare ourselves for dissemination as it's very important?

R. You'll have to read about that on your own, I can't get into that now. You'll also have to determine what is worthwhile to ask and what is not. Not to deviate the thoughts of all of our friends to a different direction.

Excerpt 1 (30:51 - 31:31)

8. R. It will connect us and bring us to one system, then we will feel what it means, the system of Adam. Because then we will feel that the creature in its totality, in all of them interconnections, etc. will be like one body, which is a special feeling upon which we will have to work. Meaning all of our work, even though we speak all the time about the 10, we have to understand that actually our inclination, our trend needs to be where the whole world is one 10 and we need to connect everyone. In our times that we are living in, the period of the general correction. Therefore we need to try and awaken ourselves, all of us, to the general connection. The surrounding light that stands upon us now and is about to awaken us is very big. If we will just want to open it, for us, it has the forces to correct us in the form of the end of correction, truly at a pace that may be dizzying. It all depends on the extent we calibrate and adapt ourselves to the trends the Creator wants for us. It is called to ‘make your will as His will,’ where you will make His will as your will, meaning MAN and MAD. Where we by this come together with the Creator. So don't disregard these processes, don't try to remain, “. . . that’s enough of this . . . ,” or “. . . that’s me, I don’t want any more than that. . . “, no. Your soul is spread out on all of humanity. Even though it may not be great but is spread throughout all humanity because the matter of the shattering each and every part enters and is included and is made up of all the parts, this is how the shattering is. Therefore each of us is included from all of the parts of Adam HaRishon, each and every part. And when he returns to correction, he attains the whole system completely. This is a result of the shattering where every part which is included of everyone attains the whole system which was not there before. Imagine to yourself there is a hand, there is a foot, and ear, knee, it doesn't matter. They are all included in everyone. It's not that they're helping and joining but that in each and every one, everyone is incorporated in there. Therefore, there is none of us that cannot attain the whole system and to attain the Creator fully and this is the purpose of our development.

9. S. (35.30) You have told us that we need to approach each other in a positive way. How can we describe the work of the students of Rashbi?

R. We don't understand the students of Rashbi one time we will come to resemble them somewhat. I hope that soon but understand that their whole inclination, their whole trend was towards connection towards one healthy 10 upon their entire ego that was day after day from moment-to-moment awakening in them more and more. That is what is written in the Zohar that in the beginning of their meeting they couldn't even look at one another, they hated one another, rejecting one another. They wanted to kill one another and look at what the Zohar writes that they themselves write about the states that they are going through. There are no lies. You just need to measure that what you are writing is beneficial to others or not. They write that way that at the beginning of the lesson, when they come to the meeting between them that they can't even look at one another and then from this negative very deep sate they begin to awaken themselves somewhat to connection a little more, and each one helps the other even though their evil inclination is burning in them. This is how they try to help one another, to forgive one another. It's not that they forgive, it's that they don't even awaken within each other whether it's bad or that they can't tolerate a friend.

I need to go against my nature against my desire to try and show him love and this is how each of us needs to do so in his private work to show an example to others and those good examples that we see of others are even more annoying to us that we are not like that, on one hand, but on the other hand, that is how we overcome this a little more to come to connection. Then all of those hard states, the difficult situations which are the Arvut that is being revealed, help us. They are the coarseness of the degree we are acquiring and in rising above them we acquire the purity and refinement so we have the coarse part and the hard part of each and every state that is within us. This way we have a Reshimot of Arvut and a Reshimot of clothing and the two opposite qualities we start to feel the Creator in them.

Darkness and Light. We can already know what is happening to him what has happened to us, how we grasp Him and how we open ourselves in the difference between hatred and love darkness and light and all kinds of other states more and more and in the gap between them we can feel the Creator in a clear better way on the degrees of still vegetative and animal that are spiritual. Which is done through connection upon the ego and gives us the understanding of the Arvut and the restriction, upon our egoistic thoughts and desires and a Masach, a screen and the reflected light from which we want to bestow to the Creator with and to delight him by that the upper light comes and arranges us in such a format that we this builds from us the system of Adam, the Domeh one that resembles the Creator, is how we begin to rise to spiritual degrees each time resembling Him more and more.

10. S. (40:45) Can you explain a little bit about the idea of all the history as a preparation, how do we focus this preparation on our work at this time?

R. History is not history. It is corrections from the beginning of creation where we don't yet learn or feel what the concept of time is, whether it exists or not whether we feel it as it happens to us, we have plenty to compliment here, whoever goes with us slowly completes this mosaic this picture from all of the pieces, yes it will happen. We will learn what history is, what geography is with the process we go through is, how we feel and grab these concepts, how they are inscribed within us. What does it mean that we feel reality that way, does it exist, in what way does it exist, what all together does exist? We will establish this correctly and then everything will come in time. We need to progress in such a way that all of the parts of reality will enter a perception, and understanding, a complement between them and this is how it is with each and every one. The main thing is the general tendency towards connection towards the group and towards the general Bnei Baruch group and all of humanity as we slowly need to see this trend as the trend of our existence.

11. S. ( 43:17) When you are speaking there's a sensation that only you are talking to me so how does this state add something to general correction and what do we call it an awakening from this state?

R. So that's what each of you hears and awakens somewhat and hears that all our corrections are in connection back to the system of Adam HaRishon from which we were shattered so from that we need to define for ourselves stages of correction how to come closer to one another, complement one another and this is how we will learn from these actions the external one internal one what we have as a result of the connection also we have the study of the 10 Sefirot wrote what we learned about the connection of the parts of the shattered soul towards more well-established states towards the Creator.

S. What is called connection with the friends?

R. Connection with the friends meaning to the extent to which you connect with the friends you become rewarded or privileged with this feeling, the general feeling of the light that illuminates you all. From a higher degree we are in two degrees. The lower and upper degree and this is how we need to try and correct. Therefore we need to constantly think about how we need to be each of us and all the 10 together in a higher degree to be more connected to complete one another.

S. So through the surrounding light is our connection to our future states?

R. The surrounding light has many roles to awaken in us a deficiency to bring us to new states to correct us for the time being. The surrounding light is called that light that I can yet receive inside and therefore it operates on me on the outside this way.

12. S. (46:43) We say that the creation of the will to receive after all this whole topic of Adam begins from the shattering?

R. Of course everything begins from the shattering. We learn the process that precedes the shattering from Ein Sof, infinity how the light created the desire, the desire evolved until it becomes a great desire called Adam and afterwards when it reaches that, then it wanted to receive all of the light around it in order to receive and then it shattered. This is what we learn, we are after all of those actions from above downwards and therefore we need to learn these actions from above downwards but we do that in order to perform them from below upwards, from the shattering to correction. That is what we learned.

S. The Reshimot comes before the shattering?

R. After the shattering, the Reshimot are the states that were whole and then shattered.

13. S. (48:07) What quality of deficiency should we build when we are striving to connect in the 10 so that we can integrate with other tens faster?

R. That is a good question. When will we be ready for a more external action of connection from the 10 to other 10's from the 10's to hundreds and thousands and so on. This is basically what the portion of Jethro in the Torah speaks about and we have a plan to learn parts of this portion to learn how we need to connect from smaller 10s into bigger 10s all the way into the collective 10 called Adam which means all of the souls becoming connected. So we need to learn this but the direction is the same direction which is our forces of mutual aid that we need to activate here, one shall help his friend, this is how we come to corrections.

14. S. (50:15) According to what we read, do we need to appreciate whether our actions bring connection with the friends and the 10 and then do actions accordingly?

R. Of course our actions as Baal HaSulam explains in the article about free choice and the Arvut, mutual guarantee and Matan Torah, the giving of the Torah, of that our actions in the giving that are within each and every one's heart, our inclinations cause us to incorporate into a single system and it already aims us more specifically towards connections between us in various states that we go through in life. Later on we will understand each and everything in our life has to happen in a certain way, to the very last detail, how is it emerge, there is no coincidences in life it is just that we are like little children we don't see the connections between this and that so we don't understand why things happen. The more we enter the spiritual work the more we will see how there is no coincidence in spirituality and there is no coincidence in reality at all, it is just babies or children or little human beings that can say that. We come to a point where every action that we do becomes a purposeful action and then the only act from within the goal.

15. S. (52:36) You said the light stabilizes us in such a format that we will be able to be more and more similar to the Creator. What conditions on my behalf to what is a friend and then as the 10, as part of the world vessel do we need to observe for the light to stabilize us in this process accordingly?

R. We need to try to reach a state of one man in one heart that our desire and intention will be aimed at connection, unity, not being one as no one can be similar to the other but that we all have to do actions that take us to connection and there we will become incorporated each one with his original qualities and desires, thoughts and thereby we all connect to a single action of connection which takes us to such a design that we shape as the Creator. This is why it is called BoReh, come and see.

S. We are constantly saying we have to learn for connection and I understand that when I'm hungry and I want to eat I yearn to eat, how do we educate inside of me such a yearning?

R. Let's say today you came to the group and the Creator arranged this kind of state to you like it says the Creator puts someone's hand on the good faith and says take it. It is like a musician and they talk about how great and important it is and how we all appreciate it, you sit among them you absorb their desire and you try to obtain this profession. One shall help his friend, we're all parts of the collective and if we are included with this same direction of the general doing it and we do our actions correctly according to our involvement, our incorporation in the general vessel this is what all of the articles are talking about, there is no more than that. The wisdom of Kabbalah, the wisdom of correction is how to connect all the pieces of creation together even though they're all different that isn't.

16. S. (55:59) How do we increase the importance of what we do toward spirituality do they diminish it themselves?

R. Only by wanting to awaken each other even though we don't understand exactly even though we don't exactly want, but if we do what the Kabbalists tell us to try to awaken the friends, we do that and specifically in this way we advance. This is called one shall help his friend, that I have to try to communicate to the friends all of my inspiration, what Rabash writes basically.

17. S. (57:23) During the lesson on my screen there is a window of the 10 and a window of the teacher and a window of the world vessel. How do we use this for correction?

R. I don't know and in the meantime we need these boxes where we see the friends, I see in front of me here maybe sixty friends who constantly rotate and I don't know, I need this only in order to see who wants to ask a question. But really the faces are not important to me, it's the other way around actually sometimes it is confusing me because they can't sit quietly and they move about and I grow tired from them. Most important is that we need to delve deeper, when we give the lesson of course, I have to be connected to you so I see both the faces of the friend and I also want to delve into their internality, their desire, they're questions and pass on to them what I want to communicate, some shape or force and all the rest depends upon their perception. Of course those who listen receive and those who do other things during this time, so I can't just be quiet and listen, they lose accordingly.

18. S. (59:40) How to balance correctly between the mind and the heart when we are yearning for connection sometimes it is this or that that rules?

R. We don't need to worry about the connection between the mind and the heart; it will gradually find its place, according to the person, his 10 and the general vessel, all the states that we go through in our general process of correction. We call this history and throughout our history we go through, it's not he but it is a feeling of the vessel of how it goes through the states under the influence of the light that reforms. We will see we have to reach a state where we determine our states, our attitude to the Creator, to the upper light who designs each and every state for us and how we design it on our own.

19. S. (01:01:07) Why is our entire attitude towards reality we exist in but our attitude towards the friends is the most important thing?

R. It's true that the relation to the friends is the most important because without determining this relationship and correcting it as much as possible, you cannot advance.

S. How does this mechanism work where I adjust my attitude to the friends I adjust the reality outside of them?

R. Because the reality outside of you and all of reality on the whole you feel it only through your vessel and that includes you, your 10 and all of Bnei Baruch, all of reality all of humanity and also the levels that are lower than that, the still vegetative and animal.

20. S. (01:02:23) How does this process of correction begin through externality through the spirituality of the ten to internality?

R. The process of correction begins from the 10 as we work from a person towards his 10 and to all of the global vessel and then to all of humanity and from humanity to the Creator this is how our force spreads and we also receive in return from the Creator in the same way through all of the souls, through all of humanity, through Bnei Baruch and my 10 and then I feel what I have received.

21. S. (01:03:31) What does it mean to be as one man in one heart, to what closeness do we need to come to and what do we need to aspire to?

R. We have to rise above the bodies to reach a state where we work as without a physical body, which is our animate level of existence and then we give this beast what it needs and not more and all of the rest to try to dedicate to treating the soul, to the speaking level. This needs to be our direction. Taking care of the soul, the speaking degree we need to do that only through connection between us because the soul is already what happens in the 10.

S. The physical distance I see with my eyes is the result of the shattering, not the true reality?

R. I don't know what distance has to do with that, physical distance is this imaginary world that there is no connection to it, there is no importance to it at all.

S. So when we feel as one man and one heart, it will be canceled, all of those distances?

R. Of course as Rabash writes in his letter where he says that even thousands of miles away, distance does not separate us.

22. S. (01:05:36) I asked about where one will help his friend between the tens?

R. This all depends upon the importance of the final goal and how much I understand that I can't stay in corrections in my 10 that I have to reach a state, I have to reach the whole of humanity and incorporation with all the created things to advance, the more I want to draw the whole world to correction to at least do that within my people do I dwell, the more I want to draw the whole world to correction to at least do that in my own internal way, in my desire this is my work.

S. We heard several times that once you help his friend taking place between tens and the whole world Kli?

R. Both, because we come to corrections in all kinds of ways it is like the body that was sick and was revived and then there we don't exactly know in what way or how each part needs to go back into an ordinary working with all the other pieces it's just the general direction we need to have.

S. Is it worthwhile to do meetings where we try to awaken each other?

R. I hope soon we will begin to do that.

23. S. (01:07:52) If all my thoughts come from the Creator, what is my work with unity and help for the friends how can I start this process if it all comes from the Creator?

R. Our goal is to resemble the Creator, you want to tie all of the world to the Creator through you and you can do this through your 10, you have to be connected to your 10 you can do actions of dissemination on your own even, but that is dissemination. With regards to connection you can do that only through the 10 so talk to your 10 about how you all want to connect to other 10s and awaken, and that they will inspire you and thus advance.

24. S. (01:09:10) What does it mean to do actions against our desire to enter spirituality from this world?

R. We can make actions even though we don't want them or half want them and half don't, or quarter and three quarters and so on and I can do that specifically in the ten when I join the actions of the friends. Some are more or less inclined to connect and I join them and in this way I advance. So even without a desire there is shame and envy, lust, honor, many human inclinations that force the person to work even against the evil inclination. Let's say I just want to rest and sit on the couch and watch TV but on the other hand I see the world is moving towards something, doing something. People are successful in different things so I look at them and I also force myself to wake up and get up and do something. Then because we help each other in this way, try to awaken envy in each other and see how it helps.

25. S. (01:11:23) The moment we see the spiritual vessel is outside of me there's also a feeling I can't touch it or add anything to it, how can I add something that is felt for the moment as whole?

R. This depends upon you, you need to see in your eyes whatever you see and you need to imagine to yourself what it is actually in truth, not through your eyes, if you were corrected and then the gaps between these states, the desired and the existing state, what else you need to do. What is the existing state and desired state that you want to have. So try to determine these two frames in front of you and you will see how much you are in each and every state that's not in the existing state but the desired state.

S. In the desired state is there an opportunity to add?

R. Of course, there is a way to add from reading, study and looking at others.

26. S. (01:13:00) The connection needs to bring us to love and if so what is love?

R. The connection without boundaries is called love.

27. S. (01:13:24) Can I ask about TES?

R. What?

S. Does TES teach equivalence of form KHBZON and NRNHY?

R. I don't know, we haven't learned that yet.

Excerpt 2 (01:14:01 - 01:14:48)

28. R. We need each and every day we need each and every day when we wake up to see how we are detached from spirituality because we awaken from the animate, beastly level and then we begin to wake up and this was very felt with Rabash as he used to wake up very uncertain where he was or what was happening. You could feel that the person was really starting from scratch every day. I brought him a cup of coffee and he would drink it, still not understanding or feeling anything, we're speaking about a person who was also 80 years old and older. Bit by bit begins to wake up and I begin to read something, he is listening and this is how we would start our day before the lesson. After a cup of coffee and talking about the topic a little bit, then we begin reading, studying this is how he woke up. Each time it was a wonder from a state of how he started the day after 5, 10, 15 minutes to 1 hour it was the revival of the dead each time. Then we learn that this will one time happen as well that I will wake up and have nothing that I remember from yesterday I won't know where I am at all. This is a sign that you have started a whole new degree and a whole new ascent. Don't be afraid and don't disregard or belittle detached from spirituality, but rather to arrange ourselves correctly, muster yourself towards the right goal and the right aim and continue.

Excerpt 3 (01:17:36 - 01:18:08)

29. R. The fact that we feel we exist in and of ourselves, that all is managed by the Creator completely and totally and we have nothing in our mind or heart that does not come from him. We are not detached, on the contrary we are controlled completely by the Creator and he fulfills us, he dwells in managing all of our thoughts and desires. It is called I am first, and he wants to take us through our quest to such a state where we exactly are impressed by it and respond to it correctly, this is called I am last. Therefore we have to try to reach adhesion from the first moment and then further and further until we reach complete adhesion in the present state as much as possible.

Excerpt 4 (01:19:39 - 01:20:51) Twice

30. S. You said love is connection without boundaries, what are the boundaries that will be no more between me and my friends?

R. These are the boundaries where our ego separates us and everyone feels which is called I and what I don't need to take care of which is the opposite of me, I am called others if I cancel these boundaries and all that is outside of these boundaries as myself this is called love my friend as myself. Just like you love yourself you also need to connect and this is called love, love is connection without boundaries. By that you come to the complete corruption of the soul and you regroup to a single vessel.

Excerpt 5 (01:22:12 - 01:23:16)

31. R. Meaning outside of his desire, outside of his will to receive his ego.

Reader continues “then he will be rewarded with ....”

32. R. (01:23:44) After My will to receive what does not exist in my will to receive but outside of it and outside of my will to receive how can I detect what is outside my will to receive, what exists in the friends. Very simple. That is the whole purpose of being together with the friends and what is important for them, what is in them, what is not in me and not important to me, that exactly it is what exists in the soul and what is important to me is actually what is in my body. This is how we replace our internality without externality. What exists my desire is beastliness what exists above my desire meaning in the desire of the friends is my spirituality. Rabash writes, the corporeality of the friend is my spirituality. This means that after the body skin is called outside of one's body and this is called outside of one's skin that specifically and “from my flesh shall I see God”. That specifically when I go outside of myself to incorporate with the friends there I begin to absorb the spiritual desire meaning that this is Holiness which comes and clothes the interior of the body and then specifically when one agrees to work outside of one skin, meaning without any clothing, outside of self-benefit he does not expect any reward.

33. S. (01:25:54) I feel a lack of connection with my 10, how do I convince the Creator to give me the strength for connection?

R. You don't need to convince the Creator besides through your actions, when you show him how much you are more willing to do the work in order to bestow this is called more than the cast wants to suckle the cow wants to feed. Meaning the Creator has a much greater desire that you have to bring you to the final correction and he suffers a lot because you are still on the way and getting stuck on the path, it all depends upon how you try more to identify the right steps and to show him through your connection with the friends that you want to advance. The whole work and benefit of your correct work is how you are emotionally wanting to be connected with the friends.

S. How do I wake in the hearts of the friends in the 10 to connection?

R. It is all about your desire, if you want to connect them in your heart as Rabash writes that the friends stand within my heart, by that you make a correction and there is no other correction. Besides putting the whole world in my heart, in my desire then you receive all of the light of infinity that fulfills all of my vessel and I have reached the degree of Adam HaRishon.

34. S. (01:28:18) You said Rabash writes corporeality of the friends is my spirituality, why not the other way around?

R. How would I know the spirituality of the friends, I don't need to know that if I identify desires in him that relate to the group, to the goal, to our connection if I see and detect desires in him that he wants something or need something then all of these desires I am willing to work on them instead of him.

S. So why does he call it corporeality if its desires for spirituality?

R. It will be spirituality to you if you use it this way.

S. We all want spirituality. We don't care about corporeality so why is the friend's corporeality so important?

R. Do you want to help others, what do you do to make it happen? If you check what the friends want and you act toward it then your actions will be regarded as spiritual otherwise not. It is not to criticize the friends, try to support them as much as you can to connect to them and to help. These may seemingly be corporeal things but actually it is spirituality. The difference between spirituality and corporeality is you take it through connection with others.

S. I still don't understand what a corporeal desire of a friend is, how to recognize what it is?

R. Anything that is good for the friend and that you identify, if you want it for you it can be as a lever to spirituality.

Excerpt 6 (01:30:57 - 01:31:34)

35. R. We can read thousands of excerpts like this that talk only about connecting a person's desires with the desires of the friends and those common desires a friend can already receive some connection with the Creator. In his own desires he can never do that only in the connection between his desires and foreign desires, when he makes them when he turns them into one desire, make his will as your will.

36. S. (01:32:19) Is it possible to give an example where it can show the intention is more important than the action, how can it be felt or shown?

R. It's not like the intention is more important than the act, the intention is the act, but intention can be imaginary and not real and there will be a real intention. And this intention works as an act and invokes a reaction, a response and if it doesn't invoke a response in complete intent and it doesn't awaken and act, but the intention is the action. This is why we Kabbalists actually come to a state where we work only with intentions in the thought, everything is clarified in the thought. We don't need anything other than thoughts. Our physical actions, they seem to us as if we can do something with them but in truth no, only the intention, the disposition in the heart is called the intention. Through this we activate all of the upper forces and they are the ones that change reality.

Excerpt 7 (01:35:13 - 01:35:52)

37. S. (01:35:52) It turns out if we bestow upon all of humanity everyone the importance of correction, the importance of connection, by this we are doing the most correct action in all of reality. This is called the expression of love of others when we bring them the method of correction so they will understand what our good future, what everyone's good future depends upon in the system where we are that nothing besides connection is needed.

Excerpt 8 (01:42:28 - 01:43:20)

38. R. We need to understand that all of the work that we do is on top of the will to receive and in each friend grows from day-to-day, becomes inflated so it is not simple. Today I am relating to the friends today as yesterday but it is incorrect as I see before me a new creation and I am new and everyone is like that. So the 10 changes from day to day significantly and all of its manners, I can't say that it is just the will to receive is growing, such desires grow compared to other desires, there is a spectrum in each one and in everyone there's a whole spectrum, so there is great complexity here and it changes what we go through. So we need to see that each day is truly a new day and we must be the craftsman in how we relate correctly with sensitivity and correctly to every single state. Everything begins anew, if I relate to reality this way then I begin to direct myself towards such directions that eventually after all of this, I will discover the Creator. It is like looking through a microscope or telescope or some instrument we use to focus our lenses, that we have to turn the lenses so that the lenses after them are in the 10, and I change them until they are connected among them and behind all of the connection among the lenses, I will see the Creator, the result of my connection. This is a projection of my soul which I put together correctly, on top of a good relation to others in order to bestow upon others. Then the Creator is really, come and see, because I design him through my relation to the friends.

Excerpt 9 (01:46:07 - 01:47:23)

39. R. Everything we have between us, the broken vessel passed on to us all of those forms, is only so we can try to connect those pieces together so we can achieve the form of the creator. In other words what are we doing, we are assembling from all of the broken pieces of Adam, when we want to join them all together by this we create the image of the creator. The image of the Creator where each piece that we want to join with love, with inclination, the disposition to love and connect to others correctly and by this we come to the general quality of the general love and connection which is called the Creator, come and see. So we engage in this connection, join these pieces so that each piece is an individual, a particular soul of each one as a part of God above and then from all of these pieces we put together the common soul whose inner essence is the creator. Come and see. Everything fits and connects into one system.

40. S. (01:49:09) To see the friend, to feel him close does it mean to bestow to him?

R. Try to bestow upon him as much as you can to add and join him to the common vessel, try to see in our common vessel the form of the Creator, the shape of the creator. We can't understand the essence of the Creator, we can decipher him, open him up, feel through our vessel so that our vessel will become similar to the quality of the Creator, the quality of the bestowal. We don't know what the quality of bestowal is because we don't have it, but we join the qualities of reception with a reciprocal relation to each other in such a way that above our quality of reception we get to have the quality of bestowal. This is called building him this is why the Creator says you have made me, this is how we achieve correction.

S. Why is it called to bestow?

R. Because in this we awaken in him a feeling of filling, fulfillment, joy with his creations. This is our work, why do we do it in order to bring contentment to the Creator, to our maker.

41. S. (01:51:01) The example you gave about the lens as my relation to the friends when you focus, it is as if you are drawn into the friends but it happens for a second and then it goes away and you have to make efforts again and I keep getting thrown out from this state and I can't keep it as a constant, is this is how it's supposed to be in and out?

R. Yes, we should constantly chase after the focus which we create through our relation to the friends, we create the image of the Creator. When I relate to the friends, each time I try to see through them, I try to see the Creator. In this way we become more directed to revealing him until we come to a state, in each degree we don't know when, but the maximum I can do in every single state of mind leads me to such states where suddenly it falls into place and I begin to identify him, to identify the qualities to identify his relation, the form of his relation. It all depends upon how much I want by joining the friends together to see the Creator. The friends don't exist, so I begin to see them as higher pieces of my soul than me, with them being the first nine and me being the Malchut and with them being the first nine, I reach Keter and then we talk about what happens next. The most important thing is to get ourselves going in the right direction, Malchut to Keter through the connection between us.

S. You understand that you don't have forces and you beg, going down on your knees before the Creator that he will let you be in it more, but before that you keep going in and out, is this also ok?

R. It is all correct and normal, don't worry the Creator is overseeing everything, he didn't expel you, he is in constant connection with you as BHS writes, don't think that you are moving away from holiness, but only goodness and mercy will follow me. In other words I get closer to my beloved is like a gazelle, he brings concealment he brings revelation, he brings concealment and then revealing and likewise several times a day and even several times an hour or minutes it all depends upon the individual, but don't think that you were thrown away all of a sudden, there's no such thing. The most important thing is, what we went over the last year in many lessons with you according to our plan to develop the right approach towards the upper Godly spiritual system. And now we are doing the most important lessons because they are talking about the connection between us and how through the connection between us we discover spirituality because you can't discover it otherwise. It is most difficult to understand or to accept because it is the most contradictory to our ego and here is where many people get weaker and leave, many people slight or deride it, they have to understand it because their ego rejects these parts of our learning. It is all because it contradicts the most egoistic desire.

42. S. (01:56:10) According to what you explained we are gathering the parts of the soul of Adam. In this way we are formulating the Creator, so the Creator isn't that we are connecting it is the quality of bestowal because through the connection we attain the essence of the Creator. So this means that actually with prayer he keeps aiming us, the answering of prayer is aiming our desire to develop without him feeling, but what we’re feeling because he is outside of us, is this correct?

R. Not quite. First of all he feels everything we have in us and he directs us correctly along with our vessels. You need to correct your perception, it divides the world into the Creator and we and all of us and that is incorrect, everything's to be included in one mechanism.

43. S. (01:57:30) We need to work on relating to every friend specifically or to relate to every friend the same way?

R. We should relate to every friend as to the Creator.

S. What does that mean?

R. It means what Rabash writes that behind every friend stands the Creator and accordingly you should determine your relationships and everything.

S. But in the end it is a process I understand so I have to work on my relation towards a friend, to each one in the same or each one different?

R. Of course that is all you need to work on, if you establish your relation to the friends you established your incorporation in the 10, in the common soul and buy this in the common soul you discover all these degrees through the end of correction. This is why, love your friend as yourself is the greatest rule in Torah, there is no other rule besides achieving and increasing and improving connection.

Excerpt 10 (01:59:12 - 01:59:53)

44. R. The Creator wants to bestow upon them more and more because they developed the correct deficiency to receive his bestowal

Reader continues: “the Creator approaches them and he is with them....”

Excerpt 11 (02:00:12 - 02:00:48)

45. R. That is all so clear when we add all of those excerpts we see that it becomes something very powerful.

Excerpt 12 (02:00:57 - 02:01:35)

46. R. Anyone who wants to direct himself towards the Creator a person takes them along with his cry to the Creator.

Reader continues “including the beseeching person who is included....”

47. R. Only in this way can each one rise to the Creator if he prays for the collective and becomes incorporated with the collective.

Excerpt 13 (02:02:05-02:03:22)

48. R. If a person after his work, his scrutiny, his deficiencies, he scrutinizes and activates the deficiency to the Creator so that the Creator will help others and bring them closer, this is where he is, in the deficiencies of others for correction then the Creator helps him and a person who asks in this way rises along with them and he manages the correction, he runs the correction but it is on the condition he becomes incorporated with their deficiencies and that it pains him more than it pains them. In this way when he pushes them it awakens the Creator then everyone achieves corrections.

Excerpt 14 (02:04:23-02:06:16)

49. R. Keep your questions, these excerpts are very similar to one another this is why we can read them together.

Reader....

Excerpt 15 (02:06:21-02:06:58)

50. S. In the last excerpt he says, on the condition his soul is incorporated with all of Israel he feels the common soul of Israel shining upon him. And before we read, to incorporate himself with all of created beings. What's the difference between all of Israel and all the created beings?

R. All of Israel are those who long for the Creator those who are called straight to the Creator, let's say all of the word Bnei Baruch, you are called the general of Israel, Those whom the Creator is Awakening towards him. All of the other creations are those who haven't come to this yet, that yearn to connect to the Creator.

51. S. (2:08:11) The “I” is cancelled and is immersed in my friends until I stand and declare that there's no reality in the world but the friends, what does it mean the “I” is cancelled?

R. That from working and trying to help the friends and supporting them as much as possible I am correcting my desire and incorporating in them. It is part of the correction, as much as I pass on the material like dissemination, connection to others, is even though I am not interested in this, it still works upon me as well and eventually the light passes through me and changes me and I also want it too. Even though to begin with I didn't want it. From not for her sake, you come to for her sake.

S. You said we have to be incorporated with the deficiencies, how do I know what the deficiencies of the friends are?

R. In general you know that these friends want to attain the Creator, they want to attain the Creator and you work in that direction and also you are in this.

52. S. (02:09:52) Accordingly spirituality being revealed outside of me, how do I relate to a friend that said something that offended me and I was filled with anger and hatred toward him?

R. Now you have to work on yourself in order to love him and to show him that you specifically love him.

S. We say we have to be more sensitive to the situation but the more time passes I feel less sensitive and I don't achieve this daily awakening. Sometimes they are many days apart, how do break the cycle?

R. Only by connection with the 10 you come to the lesson and you connect to them two more times a day, you read some article or you repeat the topic of the lesson and in this way you will advance. If you are alone you are lost. It is written either friendship or death.

S. You touched on this topic, what do you recommend to read when you wake up in the morning?

R. I sometimes read something and sometimes not. I want to know what I want, what I think, what my beast that just woke up can think, what it can want and I according to that I also check myself, but it is for the first few minutes and afterwards I try to already bring myself from a beastly state to a human state. I awaken and start establishing the importance and to turn to the Creator and if so what are my means for this, my 10, through this study materials and this is how it works.

53. S. (02:12:24) In the last line of excerpt 14 that the “I” is canceled and becomes incorporated in my friends, is there a difference in canceling and being swallowed and what is the “I”?

R. One means to restrict my desire, it means to incorporate in the other desires to support each and every one, meaning a restriction and then an active action in connection.

54. S. (02:13:17) In Letter 8 it is described a state we have to obtain from the clothing of love that is being described?

R. It is working on connection that brings us to such connections that bring us to incorporation and love, it comes on its own, we don't actually know the states that we have to go through, we just have to speak about them. So incorporate as much as you can more and more.

55. S. (02:14:19) What is the form of the Creator and how is he revealed?

R. He is revealed in the 10 in the mechanism that we feel just like we are building a radio receiver, so what goes in the receiver and gives it life or the way it's that comes in there and is closed in the receiver so through that receiver we can grab it, to absorb it so that we have a vessel it which is also called a soul and we have the upper lights that can clothing it according to the equivalence of form as much as the receiver is equivalent to that way and we are the Malchut that stands behind everything and can enjoy everything that has been done.

56. S. (02:15:19) How do we reconcile the logic, the connection we will establish above reason and rise above our fractures within us?

R. Specifically above reason, the upper light comes and gives us the force of bestowal and by the force of bestowal we uplift above the will to receive also now we sometimes feel we have such desires that are above our ego against connection all by the upper light.

57. S. (02:16:24) If I see something that disturbs a friend from focusing, how do I attribute this to my own connection?

R. I have to incorporate in the friends because by this you are correcting yourselves if you realize anything about a deficiency in them they are your deficiencies. This is why until we don't correct all of the corruptions, what everyone sees so we can't speak about the general corruption, the Gmar Tikun.

58. S. (02:17:22) Can you explain what is the clothing of love?

R. That you reach such a connection with the friends that we connect as one body, one desire, one tendency, one intention and one goal this is called that they are in a connection of love.

59. S. (02:18:08) Is love your friend is yourself to love the Creator as yourself and to do everything for him like you do for yourself?

R. Correct and eventually if we perform that in a complete manner then so it is all the same thing that is called Israel, the Torah and the Creator are one, meaning that Israel all of the light and the Creator, the general light is all the same. It is not divided, it is divided towards us until we achieve the true complete form.

60. S. (02:19:16) Would like to express great attitude for this excerpt.

R. Let us try and feel what you have in your heart.

61. S. (02:19:44) If I wake up confused and empty and during the preparation for the lesson I don't succeed in incorporating with my friends, that my donkey doesn't let me go with it, the animal desires overcome and I can't over pray what do I do?

R. To feel sorry on one hand and on the other hand it is a good learning, that you are learning who you are and incorporate in society as much as you can that they will influence you and raise you above the beastly state that you are in.

62. S. (02:20:39) What is increasing connection?

R. A growing connection that overcomes all the disturbances this is why there is like extra connection.

63. S. (02:21:13) There is a feeling of a tear in the work between a person grasping and perceiving things correctly and expressing himself correctly how do you reconcile?

R. Keep going and it will come together but it is normal.

64. S. (02:21:42) Concerning the desires of the friends, how can I know what the friends are missing, should they tell me this, should I guess it for myself?

R. There is no clear answer about that as you need to feel in your heart what they are lacking and how you can help them, how to support them and the opposite. In this way by incorporation gradually you will start feeling what is in the heart of every person. This is how it is.

65. S. (02:22:33) I try to feel what is in each friend's heart. How then to focus the lens?

R. That you want to aim everybody towards the Creator and then you join each one and through them you want to reach the Creator and you want them to be aimed towards the Creator. That your beam of you will go through all of the friends and the Creator.

S. Should I somehow turn my desires to…? (Cut off by Rav)?

R. You're asking nice, you have to turn around your desires in a way that they will aim each one of the friends towards the Creator that only the Malchut can change the other nine or seven Sefirot in other words the previous Sefirot between Malchut and Keter do not change. Malchut changes them. That is why you when you are below you need to focus, you need to cause that focus, that in this way you aim them towards the Creator only in your desire. All of the friends are in you and you are depicting them in your qualities and that is why in that way all of the work is yours and then you will see that there are no friends and that it is all yours, that it is all you. This is how we have to see things and accept reality, perceive reality in such a way that it seems to us that there is a lot of people and a lot of contradictions, that we see people who disturb us or are for us, this is all that we will be able to aim our Malchut through all kind of disturbances that come. Because the shattering was only in Malchut, in order to organize it correctly that there will be a connection Malchut to Keter, to the Creator. This is how.

S. So it turns out that I have to do something actively towards those lenses that are aimed towards the friends, how do I add them towards each other or change myself?

R. You have to change your attitude towards the friends to be an example, a supporting and helping force this is what is aiming them towards the Creator.

66. S. (02:26:06) What does it mean that it seems to me that friends are standing in my heart?

R. But that is what he feels, that he feels them in his heart.

S. On what does this feeling depend?

R. First of all it depends upon paying attention, how we want it to happen that all of the friends are standing in my heart and I along with them I'm working and taking care of them with everything so we will be connected and aimed to the upper force, none else besides him, the good that does good, that is taking care of us and that we want to give him back all of this abundance and in this way we connect.

67. S. (02:27:17) When we hide behind the friends what does this mean?

R. That you are still not correctly through the friends to the Creator.

R. Usually we have the night of Shavuot it is a custom the receiving of the Torah, parts of the Zohar called The Night of the Bride of the Malchut that enters the connection with the Creator, that all created beings come in contact with the Creator and by the Torah as a means, the upper life that is taking care of us correcting us and connecting us to the upper force in the connection by Malchut and Keter this light is called the Torah. So we usually learn this, the article Night of the Bride (Laila de Callah) but we figured it'd be more convenient to just read it during the morning lesson.
