Excerpts from the sources: “Work with Faith Above Reason”, #9

 

1. Rav’s Introduction:

.......we start from the darkness, from rejection and not wanting anything, have no longing to move forward and no drive and I don’t forget, try not to forget, I remind myself that this all surely comes from the Creator as a result of the shattering of Adam HaRishon, my shattering and this way advancing with each passing day. First of all the feeling of the fall of the rejection of the helplessness that's the first sign of advancement I received, the heaviness of the heart it's greater than it was yesterday, and the second sign for advancement that is on the negative side and this is on the positive side I understand this is a good thing and I'm above this new rejection, this new darkness I begin to bring light and it's not light where I want to have closeness, nearing no I want the light of Hassadim meaning when darkness shines I accepted as the correct you the good thing that which exists between the broken vessels.  I don't want to cancel the darkness but rather do above to form connections meaning above all crimes and crimes remain love connection can be on top of the crime crimes, if the crimes will disappear there will be no place for love to exist. That's why I have to check how we exist in those two states together both crime and love in between them will begin to feel the coarseness and purity reception bestowal and this way the gap between the Creator and the created being appears we created ourselves and will be our spiritual life.  All of this is not so clear yet but it's getting built in us with each passing day and let's keep going we're going to read a few excerpts according to that and try to talk about it in the workshop.

 

*Excerpt 9 Reader (6:55 - 11:10 )* reads twice

2. S. I didn't understand in the middle of the excerpt that if one has reason, he can go above reason, but he doesn't have reason he can't go above reason, what does that mean?

R. If I have reason then opinion of fact confidence I understand, I see, I attain, I feel, it's like I feel things in my life and then I can go above it. I can go above it and say they have eyes they don't see, they have eyes and I see everything. They would say that I'm not connected to the friend not as advanced in the understanding of the material I don't feel that I'm moving towards the Creator and all those parameters over which you can say that we are advancing in spirituality, this is inside of a reason according to my intellect. What I can check with my mind, meaning I relate to it just like in our world I relate to everything else, according to my feeling and my intellect this is called within reason. Together with that I have to bring myself to a feeling that's above the level of this world. Above my normal mind and feeling, what I am used to working with above reason and above reason means I imagine myself in the world because I relate to them through the measure of bestowal whether I'm capable of it, I wish to live in the quality of the atmosphere and conditions. The lawfulness that is all in bestowal, I see in the group that I have no connection that's how I see it, maybe they see it differently.  I have no relationship, no heart, no brain, no tendency towards connecting with the friends. So I'm saying I'm suffering, should feel the burdening of the heart, my feeling, my desires, my thoughts, they're all dropped from the level I had them yesterday to a state where I'm truly a zero.  I don’t feel I belong to them, they don't belong to me, that spiritual work I have to feel, that is my soul that is revealed in this vessel, the spiritual world, eternal world, instead of that I feel only myself and through my beast I feel how it feels, this beast. This means within reason, my own reason, above my reason means that if I will be incorporated in the friend, will try to be integrated in the Creator through them, this will be above reason. Above my reason and that's how I should construct it, how do I construct above reason? I need to see myself in the quality of bestowal, the quality of connection, of love, where we're all connected. We're all connected in a ten and although I cannot see it, on that it says they have eyes but cannot see. Right we will not see it with our own eyes, spirituality, but we will see it in those qualities called Sephirot, Partzuf and that's how I need to imagine it to myself what kind of spiritual connection do we have between us for example when we come to it with everything I've got and establish those connections, those inclinations, those relationships as if we are on a spiritual level, and faith above reason. In the reason that I feel, this is what my body is giving me, my body is giving me a new reason each time and I need to raise myself above it, above all the time. and that's our work. By doing more and more of those sureties and steps, I'll begin to feel reason and above reason this will be the gap between two spiritual degrees. Also in my reason what I feel in my body I will begin to relate to it spiritually as coming from the Creator, the Creator is arranging for me daily such a feeling, so such an attitude to reality and later I'll begin to discern and feel this world that I'm seeing is also an imaginary world. That is what the Creator is depicting for me. I don't exist in the world, all those things are here because the Creator is awakening in me certain corporeal Reshimot in order to receive that exists and I feel reality this way. I want to rise above it and build for myself a new view where I'm in the world of bestowal, love and connection, in this way I try to rise within reason to above reason within everything that I encounter in my life especially in the group, in the ten in the workshops when I'm in contact with the people who are with me on this path.

 

3. S. (18:26) Is the explanation called the reason for why you justify in your explanation the antisemitic claims of the nations of the world?

R. I'm not talking about that right now.

 

4. (18:54) No translation until (19:44)

R. Then I'm coming closer to it and maybe I'm seeing it, it all depends on the effort and that I'm able to introduce into it. In above reason where we wish to establish the quality of the foundation for the revelation of the Creator?

 

S. Separate categories or is it the same thought?

R. Later it appears as one where there is none else besides Him as the origin, the source, the reason for the state and in above reason the result for my vessels.

 

5. S. (20:40) When we are when I say they have eyes and they see not the whole world is inside of me so does it mean that in fact my eyes do not see?

R. It depends on how you determine, it could be my eyes, it could be that I saying that about everyone else, it's the way that you determine it.  Ultimately Torah speaks of one person which is me, and the others I see them, because I include them as part of my qualities, parts of my qualities, parts of my soul.

 

No Translation 

 

7. S. (23:34) Corporeally when we are included in the friends, after we are corporeally included in the friends, we acquire the spiritual vision?

R. We see in the spiritual world we see the Creator that appears in us the force of bestowal and love and in that force of bestowal and love we discover even more something called the light of Hochma.

 

S. This is when I connect with the friends and they see these forces filling us up, is this one thing that exists between us?

R. Now I can't imagine it right now and everything that you portray will be incorrect, do what the Kabbalists are saying and they will twist and confuse you intentionally, they speak unclearly so you will activate the forces of your soul and grow in this way. You also don't give your child something that will be a hundred percent clear prepared you want him to participate in some way to try and build and discover, to make efforts. So don't expect me to give you answers, where I can't give you clear answers since you have no preparation for them, you won't be able to understand them. So, questions are questions, I understand you wish to receive it ready-made but ready-made can be only after preparation on your part.

 

Excerpt 9 again Reader (25:30 - 27:23)

8. R. WSQ. How are we building the degree of above reason from within what we're feeling? how do we construct a degree of above reason from what we're feeling? 

 

9. R. WSQ. The most important thing about those things is for us to remain in constant connection with the Creator. So during the descent when we feel only ourselves in this world and these relationships were connected with the Creator we tried to begin to connect to him to rise in faith above reason so in that we need the Creator and we constantly turn to him and we asked how do we feel ourselves in the ascents the descents.  It doesn't matter the states the transitions between them we're constantly in contact with the Creator constantly in my words through my prayer constantly speaking to him let's portray that to ourselves. 

 

Excerpt 10 Reader (35:05 - 37:32)

10. WSQ. We're going to have a simple exercise, let us ask the Creator to help us each and everyone is trying to assemble, compile a sentence with which he turns to the Creator with a request for help please talk amongst yourselves.

 

11. R. (40:14) Problems with our connections all over the world, let's hope you hear us well now hopefully we can also receive questions from you.

S. We connect with the Creator in the states of descent when I only feel myself, what should I do then, should I fulfill the desires that are in me or connect to the friends?

R. During the descent I feel myself in this world and in states of like an animal I don't care about anything nothing is important. or I might understand that I'm in the states where I have no bestowal, no faith, no inclination for it, where it's not excited to be among the friends. These are all symptoms of a descent and then I have to worry about what will be although I worry, without a worry this is called a prayer before a prayer. I don't have a deficiency, I can stay like an animal all the time, but I have the knowledge that I am not in the good state, I am not in the spiritual state.  That's why we are always included of the intellect and the feeling and if the feeling is dead at least my mind can you tell me where I am at and then I begin to awaken myself by using my mind and then I connect more and I activate myself mechanically, without any feeling in various ways and then we start reading some articles or something or Psalms. I begin to turn to the friends and my heart is not in it but I obligate myself to do so and then gradually I awaken the reforming light, the surrounding light where even though I don't have such a great desire for it but even in the words that I'm uttering, it starts to shine on me, gradually I wake up with more and more feeling.  I hear what the friends are saying and then envy, lust, craving and honour, they awaken me, that's how I wake up and come to feel.  The more we advance, the more we will feel ourselves disconnected and we'll need to raise ourselves from a deeper pit to a higher degree, this is our work. Ascents until we begin to feel the descents and ascents to the spiritual feelings, the disconnection from the society and the Creator and then connection of the society and the Creator.

 

12. S. (44:19) Spirituality the more you love, the more you want to love in which vessels does this happen?

R. In vessels of my will to receive I don't have any other vessels only the will to receive intention to receive or the intention to bestow. For now the intention to receive, I don’t have any other vessel from here to Eternity.

 

13. S. (45:13) There is a strong sensation of resistance when the friend is speaking in the workshop?

R. What do you mean is that your reason to depict friends and you object to it, it only testifies to how much you have a negative attitude to them, a negative one, if you would love them then whatever they would say speaking, specifically in a bad way you would still accept it with love. That's it love covers all crimes, that is even if they would be corrupted, bad, not understanding nevertheless, you would relate to them with love.

 

S. This is my plea to the Creator in this state?

R. If you build with in it an appeal to the Creator, yes, if you start to understand that it is the Creator arranging it for you, but if your friends are behaving for you this way then the Creator in this is the way of seeing reality, so how will you turn to the Creator, after I tell you that then it is the Creator establishing it, then you start to think how do I turn to the Creator?

 

14. S. (46:47) What is the correct prayer, the precise prayer in the work?

R. The right precise prayer is that it comes out of the depths of the heart only that it doesn't matter what the prayer is and where it is aimed, this you cannot know precisely but you try you long to extract it from the bottom of the heart.

 

15. S. (47:18) What determines if we'll be able to ascribe everything to the Creator in reality?

R. That you'll be in adhesion with Him.

 

S. What are the conditions for succeeding in it?

R. When you are adhered to him, it is a sign you are in Him and you start to develop like an Ibur.

 

16. S. (47:48) I feel as if I have no such satisfaction in my corporeal life, I hate it and on the other hand I see that the Creator is placing in front of me new desires that are growing stronger taking over me on the other hand in the ten and the feeling is being balanced I have no fulfillment in the lesson, in the work.  What do I have to ask in this state, we have to keep that inner tension?

R. You should ask that your connection with the group, you're appreciation to the group that it will be greater than your corporeal life

 

17. S. (48:40) Sometimes when we are in a descent the friends in the ten are in the group they leave. How can we understand the friends are in a descent and bring them back inside and do the work together?

R. This is group work and you need to talk about it and you need to take care of it. By what? By you talking about it together, praying together because all in all it is the Creator bringing you this indication even though that you understand in your situation, you're not able to hold the people inside you need to be a lot more connected.

 

18. S. (49:46) What is the shortest path for each friend to reach the deficiency you call the depth of the heart, the bottom of the heart?

R. The bottom of the heart is where I feel all the friends connected together and from there we pray together to the Creator, there at the bottom of the heart, we find our contact with the Creator we together, all of us. This is considered the bottom of the heart specifically our heart, our feeling it happens in our desire this is what the Creator created this is why they are in contact with him.

 

19. S. (50:39) How to constantly be in prayer not to let go of that, to get up in the morning and be in prayer for the friends always?

R. Half a sentence only on the condition that you're connected together and a prayer is called a prayer in the public, a public prayer.

 

20. S. (51:11) When you say we should go above reason that this happened to us through a process that stems out of our nature, our nature takes the many ascents and we're not ready enough, the spiritual part in which we should try to go above reason that only occupies 10% so how is 10% be able to defeat the 90% of our nature and will give us a constant state above reason?

R. This happens on the condition that you should imagine to you that the Creator is revealed in the world, in the connection between us and how will you behave then. Do it that way

 

21. S. (52:14) What reward is most desirable to imagine, to portray, to coerce ourselves?

R. Love between us and it will fill our connection with the Creator.

 

22. S. (52:36) You gave us an assignment to build a prayer and we tried to do it and one friend was asking for the friends, the second one was grateful within reason, I understand that we are asking for different things, how to build a common prayer above reason?

R. If you are thinking about the connection of the group and the connection with the Creator it doesn't matter what words you're asking for in your appeal, the most important is that it's the connection between us and connection with the Creator.

 

Excerpt 11 Reader (53:22 - 55:29)

23. R. So we need to first of all there's none else besides Him and all the desires and deficiencies that we have all the states that we go through, it all comes from the Creator only, Only our appeal to the Creator from all the states that we go through, that appeal elevates us in the right way above questions, towards the Creator that is to constantly be connected with the upper force who is the first, who is doing, establishing all the states for us.  He is the last, he should also deliver us from the states that he gave us towards him more and more, in the middle it's us, between us we need to connect and out of our connection, that we will turn to him. This really is our work.

 

24. S. (56:38) What does it mean that the Creator will answer me?

R. What does it mean that the Creator answers me, that I feel that I already have a connection, interaction with Him, this is called “I to my beloved and my beloved to me.” This way I begin to speak with him, I is Malchut, through all of my friends who are the first nine Sephirot and through that I turn to him. This is called that I turn to him and through all of my friends through the whole group I feel how he is answering me. This is precisely our connection with the Creator through the friends, through the group, through their first nine Sephirot, I turn to the Creator and through that I receive an answer.  That's why that's why it is impossible for me to turn to Him by myself, a single Sephirah cannot turn to the Creator, but when it connects to all the other Sehpirot, all the other friends, through that extent it can turn to the Creator and according to the extent of the connection with the friends, I amplify my connection with the Creator and this is how it works.  Therefore when is the Creator concealed, when does he disconnected from us, he simply elevates our desire a little bit and then we disconnect from each other and we have no connection between us and to the same extent the Creator.  When do we reach a connection with the Creator when we connect between us and we start to feel how we are connected with Him, only in such a way.  Think about it more and more, the more you think about it that it exists in us and starts to be felt in us we start to establish ourselves in such a way.

 

25. S. (59:17) It's very confusing to me this topic of request a plea to the Creator if as much as I can I depict this connection, this unity of the friends is this a plea to the Creator?

R.  Who are you turning to, if I depict your connection with the friends but where is your connection with the Creator through the friends together, with the friends how do you depict the Creator that he is filling up everything, manipulating everything.  He's the reason for everything, he's the result of everything. This is what you have to portray to yourself, that this is how it exists before you and therefore you connect with the friends in order to establish your connection with him. Okay?

 

26. S. (1:00:34) Is there some kind of parameter about how long the descent needs to last must it lasts an hour, a week or month?

R. A descent might be only for a moment, if it is for long, for more than a moment it is a sign that it is in our will to receive and it is holding it, holding this descent and it's not allowing it to work. That's it, because our will to receive it stretches time. If we overcome our will to receive, time becomes shorter until it becomes only a point. But if we do not fight with will to receive and it stretches the time and time becomes more prolonged. Therefore, all of our work is as much as we connect between us and we reach being above reason, above the reason of each one to a connection to a single faith.

 

S. It's very common for us to hold onto a problem and we don't recognize it, it lives in our head for a long time?

R. This must not be we should as quickly as possible, try to rise above the problem to the Creator because he brings us the problem in order to turn to him. This should be like a ping-pong the Creator brings down the ball, the ball is in our hand, and we in return throw the ball back to him and again to us and from me to him, this means to be partners. But it all depends on how much we feel ourselves as an elite unit, as a commando standing on one side of the field of play. Let's say that we are playing volleyball, and the Creator on the one side and we, the entire team on the other side. That's it so if we work together then precisely at that moment we can toss the ball back to him. Then by that this is enough for us to get the mind and feeling from him once we touch the ball and if it's more than a touch, then it's already a Klipot.

 

27. S. (1:03:56) The connection in the ten takes place only in faith above reason?

R. Yes, the right connection can only be above reason, above our ego when we connect between us only because the Creator wants us to connect in order to give him contentment. Like little children that we want to give a good book to Mama, so we connect between us we stopped fighting in order to give him contentment. That's it let's depict it this way between us, we're already grownups we can depict these things, let's be good children.

 

28. S. (1:05:03) I didn't understand the difference between the two definitions of exaltedness?

R. Which two definitions of exaltedness?

 

S. 1 and 2, I didn't understand the explanation you wanted to...

R. Read it a few times and maybe ask tomorrow.

 

29. S. (1:05:36) Do we need to yearn for the plea for the friends or for the answer from the Creator or is it one in the same?

R. We should prepare the friends in between them, in the connection, in order to get answers from the Creator so that we will feel in the connection between us the answer from the Creator. I have nothing to ask the friends I only want to connect with them more and more and by that we can help one another but in relation to the connection and inside the connection, we will start to feel the upper mind, faith, the degree of faith above reason.

 

30. S. (1:06:32) When I'm in love with my all, when she hits me I get choked up I cry and if she embraces me I get choked up and cry, that's when I'm fully in love, how to bring it down to the level of conversation and not be always choked up?

R. No, we never the last need to leave it on the level of relationship and then to see how much we are impressed from the disconnection as well as from the connection, to try that the feeling from the connection and the feeling from disconnection they both come to us from the Creator try to understand it this way in to feel it. It's not that I have some relation with people in this world but rather this is how the Creator is arranging it for me. this is what I need to try to do

 

31. S. (1:07:55) Why is there salt in tears which is the spice of Torah?
R. The salt in tears is the result of the Covenant of salt, you can read about it then you will understand why the tears are salty.

S. I love the friends like salt.

 

32. S. (1:08:30) How you explained that we shouldn't fight the will to receive, it prolongs the time can you explain that?

R. I don't want to change any sensation not the good not the bad I just want to ascribe it to the right state because what I feel I feel it from the Creator through the 10, through the entire world vessel, through Adam HaRishon, it doesn't matter but it all comes to me in a directed way personally from the Creator himself. This is why I just need to see how I respond to it correctly. each and every moment, how do I respond correctly to the Creator who actually is established in me each sensation every moment in life, I have to constantly be in such a state.  Whatever I feel whatever I understand, whatever happens inside of me, whatever happens around me is all the Creator portraying it, establishes it for me this reality. How should I respond to him? And I need to try to respond to him as if I were in complete faith. and through such exercises I come closer to him quickly.  I already understand that I have to be connected to the ten that I have no problem but only to be connected with them and through them to be constantly connected to the Creator and to depict our entire ten that we are inside the Creator.  This is consider that we are entering conception we start to be like inside the uterus and then we start to develop there, that is all our thoughts, all our desires everything that is coming to us it all comes from him and each and every moment are grateful to it we are aware of it and we want to be even more and more active in the heart and mind with him that's it.  That's considered that we are developing the degree of faith above reason, above our desire, our desire pushes us away from each other, our desire is hiding from us the upper force in which we exist and we try to constantly determine ourselves specifically that we are all together inside of him.

 

33. S. (1:12:20) Connection of the faith between us is also the power that comes from the Creator, so the volleyball example turns out the Creator's playing with himself?

R. Yes.

 

S. (1:12:41) The advantage of the land is everywhere we don't know what is the feeling of the hatred of separation, they say it's a degree you have to be rewarded with, maybe we can read this article?

R. Go ahead find this article we can read it but it will be even better if you do it in the group, in the ten throughout the day I'm sure we have a meeting of the ten, so read it if everybody agrees to it the advantage of the land.

 

34. S. (1:13:32) It turns out that is easiest to turn to the Creator from the polarized states on the other hand joy and gratitude are conversely problems and despair when we cry to him the rest of the time is spent on checking, testing we have these interactions and feedback with the ten I check myself there, how to shorten the testing time?

R. For this you don't need to be physically connected, but rather it's enough if you're constantly drawn to the connection between you, constantly more and more until each and everyone starts to feel that he is connected to the ten to each side of the ten and in such a way we truly establish ourselves there until even the Creator is revealed there.  The direction is the connection between us towards connection with the Creator and for that you don't need to talk so much but rather you just know this thing. Then you have to determine it on the morning, and the entire day that you're going to be thinking about it every hour and then simply continuing in this.
