Rav’s Introduction:
1. Our profession is the wisdom of Kabbalah, the wisdom of Kabbalah is the wisdom of connection, the wisdom of connection of everything that there is in creation which is divided into the four levels of the still vegetative animal and speaking in corporeality and spirituality. There is no more than the root from which emerged phases 1 2 3 and 4 and therefore we seemingly need to bring them back to the root. This is our profession, this is our work of people, humans in this world and the connection needs to be in a most correct form, the most whole and complete is connection in circles as we learn from Part 2 of the study of TES the circles and the straightness the circles is a form that comes from the Creator and we according to our ability as much as we are capable of fitting into it we create the straightness. Ultimately from all of our actions we will reach the form of the circle, all of the circles need to be our connections from the central circle which is us now in our world and more external circles and more external circles which we will have to establish and compose around us, that way to connect the whole of reality into one great circle in which all of the souls will come together and the Creator will fill them up. Usually connection is as we understand in this world, it happens between people who are close in some way, I either according to a profession, according to character, according to hobbies, according to all kinds of things, you have all kinds of classes and circles to which people come together. You also have nations, countries and all kinds of connections between countries and we see that all of these things are fluctuating, they change all the time and also people who come together to connect, families even though by connecting they already have common property with children, nevertheless these are not connections that can exist for a long time. Why is that so? Why does it happen to us that we are not capable of being connected in a nice way through all kinds of different connections, because in truth we don't know the secret of connection. Connection comes to us from the upper force from the force of bestowal and it belongs to the Creator and between us cannot connect but only by each one feeling himself consciously or unconsciously that he is gaining in some way through the other. That is not connection, that is usage, that is taking advantage. Connection can be only if the force of bestowal which is the force of Creator is between us connecting us. We who don't know the wisdom of connection, we want to be similar to each other according to character, according to parents and all kinds of things, we think that by being similar to each other we will maintain the connection between us and come closer to each other. we see each time that that doesn't help, that it doesn't work, why doesn't it help? Because we actually need to remain with those same qualities, the same discernment that we were born with and we developed with, but by ourselves and we shouldn't take from each other anything but rather the connection between us is something that the Creator needs to do. Then we each one of us should develop the way he is, one has to develop his own qualities which he received from the shattering of Adam and he develops those, he learns, he gets to know the world, he goes around, but actually what he's doing is inflating himself and is concerned, if he already reaches the wisdom of connection, he is concerned about the Creator connecting him with the others. We do that already in a group as Baal HaSulam writes to us in his article of the Arvut especially the Matan Torah, the giving of the Torah in these two articles in particular and there are others which explain to us what manner of connection we must achieve so that no one is pressuring the other, not giving anything to the other, but rather the most important is between us the force of connection which is the Creator will be revealed. It is not that each one should change according to the others, to adopt their taste, to become similar to others, no. We don't need to care about that, that is the direction of the connection should be entirely opposite to what we see in our world between people, families, inside the nations and between nations, between countries. We will not be able to achieve connection ever, on all kinds of different levels and manners and kinds if we will continue in this way, even though our world and our time requires us to become closer to be more connected. However, the closeness and the connection are achieved only by us bringing the upper force closer. This is the force of bestowal; this is the force of connection between everyone and only him. Therefore we are talking about connection between us in the group in the ten, the connection of the whole world, the connection of all of the worlds into one world the world of Ein Sof which we need to return as we will fault from below upwards pull the entire ladder into the world of Ein Sof. Only by us not breaking, not pressuring, not obligating anyone to change his nature but to the contrary as Baal HaSulam writes that he is actually a great possession that each one has his own elements and we must not get into it to pressure him bend him or break anything. We actually need to do the opposites, to keep it, to maintain it so that each one every person all over the world will remain, he is according to his nature, however we should all together be concerned that the Creator will connect between us. That the force of bestowal will come and that force of bestowal will do it, then each one of us will see ourselves so different, so entirely far away according to our inner forms. Along with that, we will see what a wonder, what a miracle there is when the Creator comes and in his connection in his nature, with a force of bestowal that he instills between us, suddenly it all comes together into complete harmony. Everything is required and he didn't create anything God forbid redundantly or in a corrupted way and the only corruption is we are not drawing him in in order for him to connect between us and to fill all of the gaps between us. That is the contrast between us. Therefore we should not get upset at others, we should not get upset at ourselves, we should not get upset at the Creator who created us in such a way, in such a form and we should not try to change and all the more so to correct anyone. Rather all of our force, our whole direction in the correction should be only to actually discover how different we are and be happy with it, that we are discovering those wicked who become revealed. We can then ask of the Creator that he will come and correct them, connect them and we will rejoice in his work, the work of the Lord and how much he is connecting, how much he is creating this wholeness, that is his work. He created all of this only in order for us to be together with him, partners that we are discovering the differences between us, the need for the appearance of the force of bestowal between us that we will ask him to comment to fill up these gaps, these contradictions between us and then we will feel the plus and the minus as wholeness, as a single Partzuf. We also learned that in the wisdom of Kabbalah we come together as 10 Sephirot, 10 broken parts which come together between them and they want to connect together, they each concede the ego of each one, not to use it and that can already be as we say under the restriction, but besides the restriction they also want to be connected between them so that they will be able to activate themselves, in the form of ten as one. Then they turn to the Creator and they ask besides the fact that he can neutralize the egoistic force of each one that he will also place between them his force of connection, the force of mutual bestowal and then they start to connect between them the Creator fills up with the force of bestowal that comes from above this is called the reforming lights, it fills up the place is between them, the spaces, the gaps. They become one and the connection between them shows how much the force of bestowal has now become great, earlier it was hidden, that force of bestowal, the Creator. Now he has become revealed according to the number of the friends according to the number of the parts that come together through the force of the Creator who is connecting them, which is as we say 620 times more. This is how we need to learn the wisdom of connection which is the wisdom of Kabbalah, the method for how to bring back the broken Divinity to wholeness so that it will dwell among us. That way we re-establish and raise the vessel of Adam HaRishon from the shattering to wholeness, perfection. This is actually what we need to add, we recently learned about in many forms, how to approach connection, love so I think that today we need to add this point, that love covers all crimes that we keep all of the crimes, we do not cancel them, we do not erase them. Rather specifically thanks to those crimes, we magnify the love when we relate to it in such a way that it has to be as the advantage of light out of darkness. It should actually clarify more between the opposite forms that exist between us. This insured is what I would like to say, we have here many excerpts about it. Our friends have prepared this and if you have a few questions we can answer them and then go to the excerpts.
2. S. (16:05) Thank you so much for giving us deeper inside on what connection really means, how can we connect with people who are proven nationalist, racist, anti-Semitic, homophobic from their actions, from their statements even from their direct attacks and lack of tolerance. How do we practically connect with these people?
R. First of all we need to accept these things as existing in our world and that they come from the Creator, there is none else besides Him, he is a source of everything. He establishes each and every person, each and every nation with whatever is there. Each and every moment he is renewing the act of Genesis, of creation, the direct Reshimot of each and everyone and everyone together so we have to accept it as given from above and that we cannot change anything. If we will not take care of it then these things will grow more and more, the collisions, the contradictions, the hatred will be revealed increasingly more because the vessel keeps growing showing its ego, it's will to receive with greater and greater intensities. We need to realize that only the correct treatment that if we will do that if we give that to each one and to the entire human society that alone will bring humanity to the right connection so that specifically on top of all of the crimes we will cover them with love and it cannot be any other way. Here it won't help, psychology, political sciences or other sciences or wisdoms by which humanity thinks that is capable of doing something. It is written that one who wants to break some natural inclination that exists in anyone, by breaking it you end up having two of them. Meaning that it only grows and multiplies, this negative inclination, by you trying to take care of it in a way that doesn't come through connection, through the system in which we exist. I do understand you that you would like to see the world as corrected with nice good connection between people, but you have no possibility to do this except to understand what the Creator had prepared for us and how we can get along between us in order, to get arranged between us, to invite his force that he will come and dwell between us and fill the gaps between us. That we would discover an even greater hatred with an even greater cover of love. Love covers all crimes more and more until we will reach states of Partzufim, world's, we're always below you have an uncorrected will to receive and up above you have a corrected will to receive and this is how it will be until we reach the circles, the complete connection. Only by what we study, there is nothing else that humanity has, I hope very much that humanity now should realize that it is entering states where bit by bit I can absorb this matter that they have no possibility in their hands to reach connection and if they won't reach connection they will reach total destruction. We will then be able to explain to them that connection should be not by us destroying the evil, destroying the bad, but specifically through the bad we develop the good. This is how we reach connection, the bad must remain as the foundation of each Partzuf, each action and above it we arrange the force of bestowal, the good for us.
3. S. (21:18) Should we keep our uniqueness even inside of the group?
R. We come to the group in order to connect, to connect means as much as each one is different, specifically through these differences we need to want to connect together. It is not considered that we're going to be like 10 puppets where we have nothing inside of us internally which is different in each one. To the contrary the more we grow the more difference we will be, however we are searching for by what we can connect through the upper force, through the force of bestowal which dwells among us and by that our whole will to receive with the intention to bestow can come and be connected to other desires with the intention to bestow. We connect through the force of bestowal in each one, the force of the Creator that we get, and our force of reception remains as the foundation of the Partzuf. Being in the Achoriam, the posterior of the Partzuf there you also have the Klipot and many discernments that are the opposite of connection between us and with the Creator. We need those because you cannot have the plus without the minus, this is how we need to act, we need to learn how to do this but that is the correct scientific form, and we can also explain it in such a way to everyone that whatever they are doing with us, psychology philosophy all of these things they are trying to destroy everything. Look at what they did in Russia or other countries, and Cuba and other countries even now there's no shortage of such places where these want to destroy those, the Socialist, Communists want to destroy the Capitalist and so on, do not destroy but only find how to connect. This is only through our method.
4. S. (24:03) Is this request in prayer that we've been reading about something that has to come out of our mouths together in the ten or it is a common yearning within each friend in the ten?
R. It needs to come out of each and every friend and everyone together in the ten, we are asking of the Creator that he will connect between us, but do not search for us to become similar, each one remains on his own. Specifically through the common request that the Creator will come and connect us, then we will see that each one is even more and more different than everyone and in each new stage we will feel between us such a difference until we will start to hate one another that we won't be able to accept and tolerate each other. Each time nevertheless we will connect between each other in a prayer in order to ask of the Creator that he will connect between us, and when he connects between us we will see ourselves that each one is different HGTNHY each time everything is different and the more we rise from below upward we are rising in our Aviut, coarseness which is our ego as the foundation for our ascent Shoresh Aleph Bet Gimel Dalet in each and every degree.
5. S. (25:55) We saw that the path of correction is through the records, Reshimot we have dental records from the current era and we have some from what happened hundreds of years ago and individual Reshimot which separate us, why are there differences between the records of each?
R. Because we come from different parts of the general soul that was shattered and accordingly we need to work, so I searched from that state where I am in, how in the present state that I can reach connection with my 10. I don't care so much about individual records internal or external, there are many dozens of types of records that exist. Even in our world and biology, and medicine, we discover how many different phenomena we will be seeing in each and every test or examination that we do in a person of course there are many thousands of Reshimot, records for each person. Because each one is incorporated in everyone else and with everyone else through everyone else, so it is an image we are not capable of digesting when the upper light comes and connects between us then we start out of this connection to understand how it is all a complete form.
6. S. (27:53) What is the difference between the circles from which we come from the beginning of creation and the circles we will reach at the end of correction?
R. Circles remain the same circles however we by working through the lines of straightness we reach a state where the straightness becomes a circle, it takes on and gets the same wholeness that exists in the Creator.
7. S. (28:47) We need to be glad about the evil that is revealed and to ask the Creator to correct them or to connect us together?
R. It is the same thing, when the Creator feels the difference between us, when he connects us, by that he corrects the wicked ones in us, the correction of the wicked ones is considered that love covers all crimes. The wicked ones remain and actually the greater they are, the greater the intensity of the connection that we feel, of love, and you cannot have one without the other.
8. S. (29:37) It is difficult to understand what is connection?
R. You need to pray, not only you but everyone, that the upper force will come, which is one in nature, the general force of nature that will connect between you that you will start to feel that you belong to him. In such a way you will discover who he is, who you are, who is the world, and you cannot understand like you are claiming. You will not understand it, it will only come through the feeling, through the implementation and the more you will activate your intellect the less you will understand because you want with your corporeal earthly mind to reach the understanding of the generals system, the upper system and that is impossible. This is the problem with smart people like you who keep on working with their intellect. The intellect was given to us only to realize that with the intellect we cannot obtain anything which is above our beastly mind.
9. S. (31:09) The force of love, the Creator's power in the ten, in the Partzuf, is this a force that comes from above, from the Creator or is this something that awakens in each part and keeps changing?
R. We have to bring it to you to draw it to ask for it to understand this form then you will see how and which format comes in and how it is felt by you. Maybe each one will have a different style of feeling, of understanding from the way the Creator comes to the group.
10. S. (32:01) If we understand that each one is unique, influencing the system in his own unique way we are glad about it and support each other then, where can you have such a space and conflicts between us?
R. Each one is an egoist and does not agree with the other about anything, through the shattering each one was split, moved away from the others and he is in contrast to them in such a way that we can't even imagine to ourselves how contradictory we are. we only need to draw the reforming light as we call it and then we will understand where we were and where we are now, in general who we are dealing with. Now we cannot speak about the corrected form, we only need to talk about what pertains to us in order to be connected, that is all. Don't scatter yourself and think about anything else.
11. S. (33:26) In these two states like you explain to us yesterday, the mind and the emotion, from that comes the Daat, reason and there is a clear distinction between this state within reason and above reason can you elaborate on the differences?
R. I'm not going to elaborate now because we're not in that. Ask about what we are studying and not whatever you want to know. Think about how much, now you are hindering the others, I choose a topic for the lesson and I explained it and have been explaining it for 35 minutes and you know come to us from yesterday's lesson. Do you understand how much this is a hindrance? I hope that this will teach you and most importantly the others also that you have twice now, a double mistake that you're not being included and mingling with us in today's lesson and further bringing in yesterday's lesson to everyone. I have a line I follow each and every day you are getting a special portion to our connection that we have to realize and increase. I'm sure today we will not Implement things properly and tomorrow it will be the same. So what we are now talking about we are only asking about that. Think about the others because by this you are harming yourself even more than harming them and in everything that you hinder them comes back to you.
12. S. (35:31) If I am understanding correctly the corrected evil is the evil which remains which I simply do not use?
R. The evil that will invite the Creator and then the Creator will come and he will use this evil in order to connect in a person, connect between people that evil even though it remains it is already considered corrected.
13. S. (36:10) When there are differences of opinion between friends I understand you need to use the situation to rise to the Creator with us canceling out the contradiction but still you need to reach some kind of compromise I don't know how you can keep such a rigid opinion, view, and also get to something that you have in common?
R. Are you talking about professional work, your spiritual work?
S. Talking about the principle that works everywhere?
R. There is no such thing, if two people look at something and one says it needs to be done this way and another that way, there are differences of opinion between us and we need to invite a bigger expert between us not just to let it go. Not to leave it unresolved. Here we are talking only about the correction of the Soul or greater corrections between people in the family and society, between countries. It is not about views or opinions that are not related to the connection between us. We are talking only about the method of connection.
S. What is the method of connection really you're talking about families or the world?
R. Let's say that the husband and a wife have some friction between them, disagreements they need to understand that those conflicts can stem from nature, fundamental nature of each one and that nature will not change. Also it is forbidden for one to bend the others which is what usually happens, rather they have to reach some mutual agreement that each one will remain in his nature but there's also something in common to them which is what they want, that either they will build it on a human level or they are asking of the Creator if it is some special family that the Creator will fill up that gap between them. The Creator created such a connection that you have their coarseness and also the participation the force of Malchut and the force of Bina, this is all of the transitions between one and the other that it will be like the diagonal. The diagonal indicates participation sharing concession.
14. S. (39:03) What is prayer in connection?
R. The prayer for connection is when we raise it to the Creator that we want him to connect between us because we understand, we also learn out of our experience we understand that we are not capable of connecting. It is impossible, it is simply impossible, there has to be a force of bestowal that will be between these two masses of reception, there has to be something in the middle. So, we somehow can reach some agreement in the meantime that we won't enter a conflict that is too big but we need the force of bestowal here. This is where the desires to receive grow truly standing one opposite to the other realizing that we cannot connect as we cannot even understand each other. We also cannot move away, keep a distance from each other because that we won't touch or interfere with each other so then there is no choice in such a society or in such people, that they come to a state where they must reach a connection in each and every situation even in the war between them it won't matter. Even some amount of suffering that they could suffer because of the wars it won't help because out of their Reshimot, records, out of their experience here they have nothing that they can do so what are they going to do? This is how in such states the wisdom of Kabbalah becomes revealed and then they are capable of digesting that there has to be a 3rd force here it is called man and woman and Divinity is between them because man and woman are two opposite forms and Divinity is between them. If the Creator is revealed between them it is considered connection if it is not revealed it will only become an explosion.
S. To continue the question how to reach the prayer for connection?
R. We understand that we have no choice, we understand that we nevertheless must talk between us to understand that we have no other council, this is what I would like to prove to you through this lesson, we are reading excerpts and we will see how important it is, this is called determining the middle line between two contradictions.
15. S. (42:21) How to utilize the uniqueness of each one in the ten?
R. Each one should pray from the bottom of his heart for the connection between everyone.
16. S. (42:44) What is in the friends that doesn't exist in the Holy books to reach attainment?
R. Go ahead and connect with the Holy books and you'll have everything, fine I have nothing more to say. You are asking about such things how many times have we talked about the shattering of Adam that its parts and pieces exist in each and every one of the people and we have to bring all of these parts together to reach the same complete system. Through the whole detour that we are going through from the shattering and the correction we end up with an intensity that is 620 times more that existed in Adam he had only the small light Nefesh and we will discover NRNCHY what exists between the friends? Between the friends you have everything, you want to run away to the books, go ahead, it won't help you.
S. We need the books also but we're taking the greatness of the friends this is the power of the connection?
R. What do you mean everything depends on the friend?
S. The connection between us has to reach bestowal?
R. The connection between us depends on the prayer to the Creator, I don't get the picture that you are imagining to yourself, you have 10 people they're all egoists and to attain the Creator you have to be connected. This connection you're not able to attain, because none of you have the force of bestowal as they are all egoists. So you're asking that this force of bestowal will come from above and connect between you over and above all of your ego and with that force of bestowal that will come from above that you will have the coarseness from the connection of these egoists and the refinement that comes from the force of bestowal that you can feel in the contradiction between them an inner light that will be revealed inside the will to receive of the Partzuf and then you will reveal the Creator.

Who
or
what
invites
the
upper
light
what
succeeds
in
making
the
upper
light
work?
R.
We
invite
the
upper
light,
it
won't
come
until
we
beg
until
we
ask
properly
and
for
that
each
day
we
need
to
be
more
connected
together
to
turn
to
him
and
to
demand,
this
is
called
revealing
the
sorrow
of
divinity,
but
lack
for
the
Creator
to
come
and
connect
the
broken
parts
together.
The

I
act
that
way,
the
more
we
received
there
is
no
hindrance
here.
S. Is this something we say, think or feel?
R. Everything, thoughts, feelings, an outcry, everything.
S. Is it a common feeling of those specific parts that need to connect or that exist in the tire vessel?
R. Both ultimately it needs to give you a certain general power and within that be specific power of each and every ten.
S. So this feeling needs to develop in the whole world group not just in this specific ten?
R. It can also happen in a specific ten and that is enough for it to discover something of its own spirituality, but actually we need to take care of this whole general situation that's why the lesson is for everyone.
S. That is clear I'm trying to ask if there's something that accelerates the right to request more than other things?
R. What hastens the correct request is us wanting the Creator to comment, to connect us together and not us each wanting to correct the others or even correct things oneself, I have nothing to correct it myself or in the others. All of our vessels are seemingly negative but they are all ready for the coming of the upper light which will connect them together, we need all of these crimes, through them we draw the upper force, it fills up the space between the crimes and then the system becomes whole. That's what was missing in Adam HaRishon, there was no crime, everyone was connected, no one had these barbs pointing at the others, against each other, they were just parts.
18. S. (48:19) In the public are the Kabbalists supposed to be sometimes on the left or sometimes on the right or in the public always in the middle?
R. A Kabbalist doesn't belong to the left, right or the middle but rather the connection between everyone above all of the contradictions between everyone. Accordingly, sometimes he leans more to the left or the right seemingly, but he sees himself as unrelated to any of those things, but rather it's only about where you can find greater closeness to connection.
19. S. (49:17) For what purpose is there a revelation of evil and me if it is not meant for me to ask for correction over it?
R. You don't ask for correction for the evil, it is written that one who wants to break the evil receives double of that evil, it is not meant for correction the way you think. It is only through connecting with others, because the evil, all the evil is what hinders you from connecting to others, all of your other qualities have nothing to do with the evil. Write that down before you because we talked about this yesterday, evil is the force that hinders connection, only that. That is the meaning of that I have created the evil inclination through the shattering of Adam HaRishon, a contrast was created between the parts and then you can say that evil was created, Created. Meaning from non-existence it started to exist.
S. What about the qualities that I do see clearly that hinder connection, how do I connect without asking the light to correct them ?
R. You cannot correct anything, it is only by asking the upper force to come and correct that is why everything is attained only through prayer. You have probably heard it a thousand times and you don't want to accept it.
S. I truly accept it but the quality does not hinder correction, can I ask for the correction?
R. It is specifically about these qualities which hinder the connection, about them for them you could ask for the upper light to come and connect but you don't tell the Creator exactly what to do or how to connect what not to connect, because you don't understand what is important are not in everything that appears to you because anyone who judges others is seeing his own flaws so you are judging within your ego.
20. S. (51:46) If the Creator gives us a possibility to connect he's giving us that each and every day but there are states where particular friends understand what the work is and they pray for the other, but the other is didn't understand the essence of the work so how do we change that state?
R. To show examples and then you will understand what it means to come to a collective request, connection is everyone's goal but each one of course prays only from the lack which is in his heart because prayer is work in the heart. So how do you have collected work in the heart that is shared between everyone, we say you need to have the prayer of many it is because all of us want just one thing, connection between us above all the crimes.
21. S. (53:10) Even though I know all of the injustice that is bothering me it is actually coming from the Creator as something good but it still bothers me, what am I doing incorrectly?
R. You need to awaken them to prayer, that is the main thing, to show them an example of how you need to turn to the Creator and ask for connection as it is a very simple thing, very short.
22. S. (53:56) When hatred appears in the ten and when we cover the crimes with love the greatest effort is for the one who performed the crime or the one who suffers the crime?
R. I don't understand what you're asking? A transgression means that we're not asking for connection above all of the crimes that are revealed, the Creator reveals to us all sorts of conflicts and problems and instead of turning to him and asking to be connected above all of these crimes which he reveals deliberately so that we will turn to him and ask for a connection above them, we don't turn to him and that's the crime. There is nothing more than that. Try all of you to see these things in a very reduced and concentrated way as there is nothing to it, creation is a very simple thing, it is to ask for the correction of the connection between everyone from the upper force above all of the forms of the shattering which are revealed.
23. S. (55:36) How do we empower our connection when we ask for correction from the Creator?
R. Rabash writes about this in many places how to strengthen the prayer and the intention also through discussing it amongst ourselves, by me receiving an example from everyone, by discussing together what prayer we want to raise up to the Creator.
Excerpt 1 Reader (56:35 - 57:22)
24. R. Meaning you don't have a single tiny detail that isn't divided into two parts which conflict, it can be an electron, proton, moron whatever, even the tiniest particle in creation in the still vegetative animal and speaking degrees, whatever you take it will always comprise two opposite parts with the power of the Creator connecting them together. It is only due to the fact that the Creator is there in them, that is what makes them exist. If the Creator vanishes, if there's no connection between them immediately they begin to annihilate each other.
S. Mutual annihilation.
R. Yes, mutual as plus and minus cancel each other out this is how it is and all of nature.
Excerpt 2 Reader (58:28 - 1:00:18)
25. R. Each and every creation comprises of two parts and if we go into any particular thing we always discover that it contains the thing and its opposite, we always have to see how to look at these things correctly, meaning that these two opposites exist and there is no creation that doesn't comprised to opposites, also this is the case in each and every person. This is why we don't try to break a person, to turn him into some kind of a zombie, but rather if he remains a person he will always comprise a thing and its opposite in every detail in him. In everything that he has ,if he says yes, the next moment or in a day or in 10 years he can reach the opposite state saying no, this is natural for each and every one of us. We don't talk about the correction of a person but rather the correction of the connection between people only. So it is easier for us in that respect to reach everyone and to explain that everyone is righteous, that everyone is corrected, that no one needs to break or bend himself towards the others. We only want the upper force to come and connect us together because it can do that, we will never attain connection between us which will be sustained even for a brief period. You see how even the great super powers with the great armies fall, it cannot be sustained, you'll also see what happens to China soon as well doesn't matter what nation or what are me, what power or wealth, after one step the next step is revealed which is opposite and contrary and everything breaks. If we want to achieve perfection and wholeness we need the upper force to come and connect the opposites together and we don't talk about the opposites, good or bad it's fine it seems to us that way, we only want everything to enter into a single system, an integral system. Then when things complete and complement each other we will see wholeness that there cannot be good without good or bad, without good on every level and in every detail.
26. S. (01:03:18) How can it be that opposites bring us closer to the upper one if the upper one doesn't have opposites?
R. But how can we come to resemble it, I resemble the upper one so I am opposite to the upper one that's how he created me now, if I connect to the others in such a way where we all connect to each other, we will come to resemble him. It is actually specifically through us asking for connection within our broken parts we discover the ego, the mutual hatred and we ask for a connection between us when the upper light comes as it comes as the light of Nefesh de Nefesh de Nefesh but because we wanted we amplify it. We multiply it by 620 and so it is written, you made me, we made because we felt how much we hate each other, how distant we are to each other and that we demand the Creator this is our overcoming we demand that he comes. We establish him between us, we give him room to be revealed and the place which amplifies him 620 times over and the Creator is just a light of Nefesh.
S. The fact that he brings the demand for the Creator is clear but how to be similar to him?
R. Like he says I began creation and you complete creation It Is by us through our prayer and participation discovering and building the Creator, making him, that is the meaning of him not previously existing and now existing.
S. Just like the will to receive did not exist in the Creator similarly we are asking to resemble him?
R. We give the Creator legitimacy so to speak, we give him the power to appear and to present his essence, his ability to connect opposites together and buy that we emphasize him.
Excerpt 3 Reader (01:06:03 - 01:06:26)
27. R. That is what we started in the wisdom of Kabbalah, it is our work to get to the middle line, we have two lines one from above and one from below or however you put it, but we combine them and we reach the middle line which is the revelation of the Creator to the created beings.
Excerpt 4 Reader (01:06:54 - 01:08:36)
28. R. We understand that everything comes from above that the Creator did it this way in the best possible way with every single moment that we exist in, everything we have to do and every single moment is to turn to him, to ask him for correction.
29. S. (01:09:04)
R. He has nothing to ask for himself because he is asking for himself, he does the opposite, he even corrupts himself, he needs to ask only for the connection with the others, that's where the corruption is, do you understand? So it follows that what is left for us is only to ask for connection, look it is the work in the group, I don't know what you're all talking about or what you all do, but you need to simply convince all of the friends that only our connection for the purpose of prayer, turning to the Creator that is what we have in front of us, nothing else besides. It has to constantly be in front of us, how do we connect together in a request to the Creator, each one of course he's the process differently, feels it differently, the process and the goal, it doesn't matter. What matters is that together we can demand but the Creator connect us together, meaning to fill us up, maybe in such a way where we begin to feel that he dwells between us and maybe not yet, so time after time we bring him closer, he is there already but still on degrees where we cannot sense that until we begin to sense it and work with him.
30. S. (01:11:31) Is it possible to understand what the middle line is in the corporeal mind or only in the spiritual?
R. I don't know what the corporeal mind is in your brain you can do whatever you want but I am unrelated to that and the moment you think and your own corporeal brain you completely fall from spirituality.
31. S. (01:12:04) It sounds like the middle line is something that qualitatively is above the two lines can you explain?
R. No we're not talking about that right now we're talking about how to compose the prayer, how to arrange the prayer and when the help comes from above we will begin to discover what the middle line is. What can I explain to you if you're not in attainment? You need to pray for it too, then we will have something to talk about.
32. S. (01:12:41) I tried to implement your advice during the day I summarized the lesson and during the day I read it because it helps me to connect to the 10 more, there are states during the day where I bring out the summary and I want to read it and I feel resistance, my heart is in a different place, what is the advice to do in such a state?
R. To make oneself happy and the Creator because whatever the case you are reading in the lesson and you want to actualize the lesson, what do you want you want to advance without resistance how will you build a Partzuf without resistance?
S. Regardless I'm aware that I have this resistance, so this is a point to really make an effort and not give up?
R. Look I don't know about reading or not reading you connect to the friends about prayer to the Creator all the rest of the things you do throughout the day, perhaps I don't know I don't see anything in that is there a connection between you throughout the day that you asked the Creator through that connection, if not do anything you want.
33. S. (01:14:11) Kabbalists write as they learn that all of our work is to discover what is hidden inside the person and to light it up, so what should we relate more to the fact that we are already broken and corrupted or to the fact that we are not corrected as it seems to us in the way we pray?
R. Prayer includes many parts, there is a part of gratitude that the Creator brought you to the wisdom of Kabbalah, to the group and here you can begin to correct the soul that you are in such states where in a moment you will begin to discover him in practice, and action and to work from the ten towards the Creator in a more advanced way, in a more open way and for that you need to offer gratitude and after that a request because you haven't gotten there yet you are just on the way there. That is the part of the prayer which is gratitude, give thanks and then comes the last part, let's say three parts are sufficient, where you are certain the Creator will answer and connect you all together so you can discover him and by that you can delight him.
S. So the good part is that we are told that we are already in the end of correction and the bad part is that we don't feel this connection between us so the attitude should be somewhere between the two?
R. I don't know, end of correction not the end of correction, I didn't use these words but that's good too.
34. S. (01:16:04) Does a person need to understand in his reason that he is working the middle line?
R. We don't yet attain these things so to be able to ask that way, when we attain the middle line we will feel and understand it but for now, no. The middle line needs to come and is shaped by the upper Force.
35. S. (01:16:46) In relating with the friend there was always an opposition, resistance and there we can clothe in each other with our effort, when there is resistance to the 10 is that clothing with the Creator, because there is no detail there, it is just against the force of rejection or the force of bestowal.
R. We need to see what we have in our hands and what is missing for the Creator to come connect us together, we need to imagine that if the Creator was revealed how we could then be in connection above all of the crimes, above our nature and how much we could delight him in that way and to reach our correction. You need to envision the good state and to pray for it to happen. Perhaps I misunderstood you, you can ask again?
S. With a friend there is resistance, it is easy to imagine with a good state or the good of the friend might be so there we clothe in each other in the force of the Creator, with the ten it is so big it is an entire system so the resistance to the system is hard to focus on so is that already engaging with the Creator?
R. I understand, then do it with one friend for the time being, second friend, you will come to see how a ten is a very big and complex system which includes within it the whole of reality. So do it with one friend but also when you do it with one friend, don't do it just with him and not with the others because then you won't be able to actualize yourself in that way, only with one friend. You can start with one but you cannot finish the work by that. You have to see yourself one needs to see himself as bound to the ten.
Excerpt 5 Reader (01:19:53 - 01:21:48)
36. R. It's not that all the evil disappears but on top of it we build in a contradictory manner the good.
37. S. (01:22:02) How to overcome and understand the plan of creation?
R. Listen to the lessons and go over them again, if you don't repeat the lesson at least once a day, I am talking about the first part, this part sometimes it takes up the whole lesson at least in the recent past, if you don't repeat it at least once other than in the lesson itself, it's not absorbed, it's not that you can then go and use it you will lack it in your spiritual work.
38. S. (01:22:54) The prayer is an inner action can we awaken the envy towards the prayer to get an impression for the friends?
R. Each one of us must see the friends do invest themselves in the prayer because the prayer is the summary of our spiritual work of our spiritual scrutiny, our spiritual plea to the Creator it is all expressed through prayer for the raising MAN, raising the deficiency that the Creator acts, we can do only one thing to raise the deficiency to the Creator then the Creator with the upper light performs the action. To feel that we are together as partners with the Creator, we elevate the deficiency, he answers. This work is exactly the work of Kabbalist and the wisdom of Kabbalah speaks about that.
39. S. (01:24:08) That desire on the left is a desire that truly imprisons me and keeps me inside so I should use that same force but for the benefit of connection, how do we make such a thing?
R. What we talk about you simply need to do, how to do it, I keep saying the same thing and now you ask. Simply try to connect with the friends together and if not together then at least with one, so you connect with the friends to turn to the Creator and this appeal to the Creator is the main thing, you alone are together with them or with them, but connection with them, a request, raise MAN is only through the raising of the prayer that is how we attain, meaning what we get in return it comes as a correction and it's only responds to us raising MAN, called Mayin Nukvin. meaning that the parts of Malchut want to rise to Bina, from reception to bestowal.
40. S. (01:25:56) As a ten we should build the prayer and pray on a regular basis or make a special prayer for each day?
R. It is preferable for you all to compose a prayer every day, it is good that you work on it, it needs to be about 5 to 10 sentences which you want to tell the Creator what state you are in and what state you want to reach.
41. S. (01:26:48) Why do we always forget to ask for the friends?
R. Because it's not in your ego, you don't care about it that's why you forget, it is not in the will to receive, this is why it doesn't rise to the head for a request.
42. S. (01:27:22) Should we depict what we are asking for?
R. Of course if you cannot envision what you're asking for then how do you ask, it is only someone who is insane, that can ask for something without knowing what it is without knowing what it is about, perhaps I misunderstood the question?
S. Where can I take the examples for connection to do this?
R. Ask for that also, we don't know what it means to be connected, we cannot ask for connection, it is called the prayer before the prayer, yes, all sorts of questions like that turn to the Creator with that as well, you think I am teaching you, it all comes from above.
43. S. (01:28:56) It has been said behind every friend the Creator stands, is it true to say that during the acts of connection I am aiming myself to the Creator?
R. Yes, but through the friends, that's not a question of course it is like that.
44. R. (01:29:25) WSQ: How can we summarize what we went through in this lesson, we started that we're all different and that comes from the source of our creation and we can never change and we don't have to break ourselves but to accept everyone the way they are. What we have to do is only to ask from above for the force of connection that specifically upon all of our egoistic desires that are just intensifying and revealing themselves, upon that we have to bring the force of connection from above and that will be our correction. That we will have the biggest will to receive between all of the shattered pieces the Creator will fill everything with his own force of bestowal this is called love will cover all crimes this will be the end of correction. Meaning we don't need to correct anybody, only the connection between us, just like we are but the connection between us we need to attain. That is all by the request for the Creator to do it, let us speak about this for a few minutes please.
