Part 1:

Baal HaSulam - Shamati 54. The Purpose of the Work – 1

1.Rav’s Introduction: This morning I received a question where a person wrote that he is confused and doesn't remember anything, doesn't know anything, truly in a state of despair, of helplessness. More than likely also at night he had such thoughts. I wrote to him that this is actually good that he is confused and altogether every state is good but a state of confusion is good, meaning now he needs to purify what he has in his head and in his heart so that he will have a clean and pure vessel. To rid himself of what he had before and it is a nice sign that now he will have a new state, a new degree. That is how it is. We see this also in our life that I can't write on a piece of paper that is already written on, it needs to be a clean piece of paper. I can't pour a drink into the cup that has some liquid beforehand because it will spoil the flavor that I want to taste now. We need pure clean vessels and the fact that we are confused or come to the morning lesson and our head is not clean or pure is a sign that we need to become accustomed to cleaning our vessel.

Do not wait for it to happen on its own and then in the clean vessel I can examine myself, what I am receiving, what I am feeling it with and to advance. We need to be sensitive in the way we examine and fill the vessel, the results of the vessel, it is written they shall be as new in your eyes wear every day a person needs to feel himself as new. Maybe yesterday I had very nice feelings, some brilliant thoughts and I understood all kinds of things that I could not even understand before, that is not important. It already took place and if I am working with what was that is a Klipa, I need to try to emerge from what I had yesterday even if there were attainments and feeling both in mind and heart that were very good, I want everything to be empty and every day they shall be new in your eyes, that I want to start all over again. That is what I wrote to him, maybe in a shorter way but this is what I meant that if we reach the lesson not empty then it doesn't matter what we had before, it is not good if it remains in us. We need to begin every day with a clean slate even though I am standing in the middle of the field that I don't know what is going on, what to do or where to turn, what do I get from it and why am I here? It is good if you start from that state of zero and you have ahead of you the true correct work all over again. This is how we come to our article as well, the purpose of the work where you cannot approach the correct pure work if you are dragging behind you things from the past. Start like a child, truly from zero let us see what is written for us.

Shamati 54 (05:47) It is known that servitude is. …”

2. R. (06:47) We are the will to receive and we have no possibility of wanting to give or to give we also don't understand what it is to give. As far as nature is concerned, from the side of nature we are one directional, to receive for ourselves, even if I were to want to ascribe something to someone in me that is receiving and not giving, never. Therefore, what we learn, we also learn also the wisdom of Kabbalah, how there are possibilities to use only the will to receive that we have only and to attribute it to something outside of us, to giving, that's why it's called the wisdom of Kabbalah, reception. Meaning the reception that we use, according to our nature each within themselves there is nothing but that. The wisdom of Kabbalah is how by receiving I give but besides that I have no other possibility.

Reader continues: (08:15) “this is because it is impossible that one will give….”

3. R. (08:41) Meaning first of all we need to discover love for something, for someone and then by the feeling of love we can use the same vessel I have to receive and it is already going to be and its content as bestowing, as the desire to bestow. Meaning that we must connect here the feeling of love.

Reader continues: (09:17) “If one shows love and the other shows no response….”

4. R. (09:32) Because love has to be in a partnership, a connection between one and another. It can be from an upper one to a lower one even without the partnership of the lower one but that is in many specific cases where the lower one is not capable. But when you grow the lower one and he is capable to enter into a mutuality with the upper one then what is demanded of the lower one, to disclose his love to the upper one just like the upper one discloses his love to the lower one and then they enter into connection between them.

Reader continues: (10:21) “Our sages stated about the verse and say unto….”

5. R. (11:06) The fact that the lower one receives from the Creator it could be that it is giving on his behalf because he is working against his nature and adapts himself to the desire of the upper one. If the upper one wants to give, then our partnership with the upper one is in our receiving and therefore our attitude toward the Creator is called the wisdom of Kabbalah. It is not simple to receive from him, you need to prepare yourself, to correct yourself in order to receive.

Reader continues: (11:51) “However the will to receive should crave to adhere….”

6. R. (12:15) Meaning we need to want to receive from the Creator what he wants to give and to desire to come closer, to ask and to be willing to know in advance what he is giving in a precise way to develop our desire for it. Then it is called that we are in partnership with him.

Reader continues: (12:45) “However because of the breaking that occurred in the world….”

7. R. (13:19) Now we can understand what the Creator gave us these preparations for, from the world of Ein Sof through all kinds of Partzufim and worlds, the word for world is from the word HaAlamah, concealment where he conceals the world and the light to give us a state to exist where we are not before the light of Ein Sof, then we are in joy with no personal action to be done. There is truly a great descent from the world of Ein Sof down where everything was prepared for us that comes from the side of the Creator to us, both in the feeling and in love that is unlimited and also in the filling that is unlimited. This is how we learned that the Creator prepared us and we ourselves need also to come to that same state, that our attitude to the Creator will be similar to His attitude to us. Therefore, in order to give us free choice, in order to give us the possibility of coming closer to adapt and to resemble Him, the worlds were created, the concealments, the 125 degrees of concealment through which we can gradually slowly rise in these degrees and adapt ourselves to the Creator in measures of bestowing, to come to a state of being like Him.

Rav continues: (15:20) The will to receive needs to desire to adhere to the Creator to receive His abundance, desire and goodness, and that is the purpose of creation, to do good to his creation. From the side of the Creator, we need to receive all that He prepared for us, although we need to use what He prepared for us in order to also on our behalf, give Him in return the same attitude, both in quantity and in quality. That is why the breaking of the vessels was given to us and he writes, however because of the breaking that happened in the world of Nekudim the will to receive fell into the domain of Klipot by which two discernments were made on the vessel. Meaning the fact that the will to receive fell from the degree of bestowal to a degree of reception, in order to receive, which is called Klipa, then He gave us the possibility through that, we were given the possibility to be able to perform efforts, and according to the quality and quantity of our exertion we can take our qualities out of the will to receive into Holiness, the desire to bestow that we will be similar to the Creator. He wants bestowing and we want bestowal, how does that appear?

According to our efforts that we emerge from in order to receive to in order to bestow, which is the building of our vessel. It is like the Creator created us existence from non-existence, from absence. We build ourselves seemingly in an opposite manner, from Holiness, from giving and love and therefore we correct ourselves through this. And by this, we attain the Creator, establish Him as it is written “you made me.” Meaning in this work that we have, the complete work, just like the Creator births us from absence to existence, this is how we in our work, although we don’t recognize this yet, we also come to equality with him in the fact that he ruins the world's and we correct and stabilize the worlds. This is how we come to equivalence, to identification with him. To the extent in which we perform this work, we understand what preparation He gave us so He says it like this. That the work was done here, it was very special that the Creator prepared the state of Klipot, the worlds of the Klipot, which we will learn later, and therefore our work is to come to the love of the Creator, to identification with Him. It is divided into two parts. That one is it developed a relation to the separated pleasures and where we do want to be in the Klipa and love it and are willing to remain in it, as that is our nature in which we discover ourselves as existing in a reality that is called this world.

The work of exiting the authority of Klipa, from in order to receive, to purify ourselves from the intentions for ourselves is called the work of purification. After we do this then we come to the second stage, to different work which takes place by the shattering, by the breaking, in a way which distances ourselves from spirituality and has no desire for spirituality. This is for our benefit how the Creator lowers us from the world of Ein Sof to our world, the lowest of all and this correction is called Kedusha, Holiness. The fact that we correct ourselves as we want to emerge from the authority of the Klipot is called to purify ourselves, take ourselves out of Klipa. But that is not enough, let's say that we reach zero and from zero we need to reach the height of the Creator to the world of Ein Sof, so this attainment is called Kedusha. The order of the work is to crave for his exaltedness for then the Creator shines for us in these vessels, to desire, crave and reveal the exaltedness of the Creator. What is the exaltedness of the Creator I don't know, but I want the Creator to rule over me, in those feelings of the Klipa which was always controlling me in my mind and my heart and in all of my calculations, in all that there is. Truly in that, in those places I want now for the love of the Creator to reign.

If I desire exaltedness of the Creator then by that I developed my correct will to receive. This is what he writes, the order of the work is to Crave the exaltedness of the Creator and then the Creator shines for him in these vessels to the extent he craves for the exaltedness. At first, we don't feel he's shining to us because it can stop us, it can confuse us and we don’t have the vessels to feel the exaltedness, then it slowly comes to the feeling. But we need to know that to the extent a person has the vessels of purity which is called that he is purifying himself from the will to receive which is called the matter of hate evil, to the extent that we hate our ego, hate our will to receive is how we rise above it. This is called that we come to purify and to that extent he can work in holiness as Holiness is already beyond the purification, the purification is where I'm taking myself out of the will to receive, when I am purifying myself. Then I still acquire the qualities of Holiness in order to bestow. To that measure he can work in the matter of Holiness, as it is written those who love the Lord hate evil. That besides me rising above my ego, above my will to receive, I also need to move to a state where I love the quality of bestowing, I hate the quality of reception is part of my work.

This is called you who love the Lord hate evil and then I need in addition to come to the love of bestowal. It follows that there's two discernments, 1 Purity and 2 Holiness, as I just spoke about right now is to emerge from the will to receive and the Holiness is to enter in order to bestow. It is called the vessel which is the preparation to receive his goodness by way to do good to his creations. This vessel is attributed to the lower one, meaning it is for us to repair, for the lower one to correct it, for us to crave for the good. But I desire for bestowing, to desire, to crave this means to engage extensively in the exaltedness and his own lowness to rise above the will to receive and reach the measure of bestowing. Whereas the abundance that should appear in the vessel of Holiness is in the hands of the Creator as he imparts the abundance upon the lower one. The lower one cannot help at all in this as this is called the secret thing belonging to our God. That I have no possibility in any way to bestow on the abundance, you could say that we are entering into a sea of abundance, the upper light is incomplete rest it fills everything and what we need is just to discover a desire for it, and equivalence of form, a closeness only. Because the thought of creation is called to do good to his creation and it begins from Ein Sof, so we pray to Ein Sof, meaning the connection that exists between the Creator and the created beings from above down is already the ladder of connection of the Creator with the created beings.

This is the meaning of what is written in the writings ARI that we must pray to Ein Sof because to the Creator itself there is no connection with the creatures, The Essence that is above the contact with the Creator, above Ein Sof because the beginning of the connection starts and infinity where his name is the root of creation. His name, meaning the first revelation of the Creator to the creatures where he discloses his name. This is the meaning of what is written in the Talmud that one who prays will pray in the name, meaning that is where his name is and his name is Ein Sof are called in the words of the legend a tower filled with abundance. This is why we pray to the name which is to receive the benefit that has been prepared in advance, what does it mean to pray to the name? That I need to clothe in those changes that the upper light is clothed in and then we enter into one another, into an adaptation as much as possible one inside the other. This is where it is written, one that prays to the name which is to receive the name and the name and Ein Sof are in the name of the legend a tower filled with abundance this is why he prays to the name to receive the benefit prepared in advance.

This is Keter is called the desire to do good to his creations and the benefit itself is called by the name Hochma which is the abundance itself. This is why Keter is called Ein Sof and the emanator, how Hochma is not called emanated yet because in Hochma there is still no vessel and it is considered light without a vessel. For this reason, Hochma is discerned as the emanator because it belongs Keter because there is no attainment in the light without a vessel and the whole difference between Keter and Hochma is the root of the emanated is more disclosed in Hochma because the thought that is Keter of doing good to his creatures have already been revealed in the light of Hochma as a benefit to do good to his creatures. We can read this several more times and understand it slowly throughout our study, it will be stabilized in us and as usual every one of these Shamati articles are such that they are meant for one who is advancing.

This is why Rabash did not let any of his students read the articles, you can find out as only I received this and after a few years that I was with him in truth I gave it only to my friend from that time who traveled with me to America. Then I took a few of these articles like this and there we learned and read it but in truth no. Only after Rabash passed I thought what I would do with this as it's truly a treasure as in all of this world there is nothing more important which brings a person closer, connects a person to the Creator. What to do with it? then I gave it to photocopy for everyone the writings of Rabash that he wrote so they don't say that I am advertising whatever I feel like or making changes, I let them photocopy the original and today they themselves are publishing their Shamati books and let us hope they're not making any changes there.

8. S. (33:44) Why can't we recognize and enjoy the process of purification?

R. We probably don't have enough of a desire for it, we are not yet yearning for the pleasures that don't belong to the Creator, for in order to bestow but rather in order to receive, to purify ourselves from in order to receive from enjoying reception is called the work of purity, of purification that is what you are asking about. So how do I come out of that, I must truly it is like jumping in the water and to be completely immersed in it, inside the upper light and let the upper light have an influence on me and purify me. This is how it is on every degree that we rise in the degrees of the attainment of the Creator, in coming closer to the Creator, in each and every degree we have work in purity, this is the first stage. The second stage is already Kedusha, Holiness where we are already in connection with the upper light but first, we have to rid ourselves from the ego which that also is by the upper light cleaning us, it's like I'm entering a whirlpool in the ocean and want to clean myself, first that. Then already to clothe the pure clean clothes on that is the restriction, screen, reflected light.

9. S. (36:15) You opened the lessons saying about this state of emptiness that we don't need to remember everything that we have gone through until today but how to relate to it?

R. We need to do exercises where I don't want to receive anything from the past. If I now rise to the new degree, it begins from zero. It is 10 new Sefirot where I don't want to receive anything from yesterday because it could be that yesterday I was mistaken. That is truly the nature of the degrees that every next degree cancels the previous degree and builds itself in the opposition to it just as we learn even in the ascent and descent of Partzufim each Partzuf if it wants to build the next, it has to purify itself from the previous Partzuf to evoke new records than those that were not going back to what it was. From the new records it builds a new Partzuf. This is indeed to descend from above down to this world and also in our ascent from below upward, each time we need to make certain what was yesterday was burnt, that there is nothing. Let them be as new in your eyes and this is how we will succeed. Slowly we will agree with this principle because every state begins from 0 to 10 anew.

S. What is Zion?

R. Zion is the point of exit, we say that the land of Israel is the land of Zion, it is one of the discernments of the land of Israel direct to the Creator. Land is the earth and the place, direct to the Creator where we aim ourselves to the Creator. Then it is called that we are in a land, in a desire, a desire that is direct to the Creator, Israel. This place is called Zion, which is from the word Yetzia, where we exit the will to receive and rise to in order to bestow and how we do this is from the inner point of the land of Zion is called the point of Jerusalem that means Yirah Shlimah, complete fear, which means that we have a complete desire that we wants to exit, it is even a fear of wanting to exit in order to receive and go to in order to bestow. That is the inner essence of the word Jerusalem. There are many more such terms but they all originated in spirituality and have nothing to do with corporeality.

10. S. (41:44) About the first discernment we understood about the purification, the second discernment we are not in that state whatsoever but you mentioned that we pray to Ein Sof does that mean that we are building or trying to build a vessel to a state that we have yet to enter?

R. We are always that way, we are always wanting to advance to a state that we don't yet know, we don't yet recognize or sense, we don't even have the records from it yet. From the descent from above down there are records and all of the Partzufim and degrees happened consistently but in the ascent from below upward, how do we know where to go? That is why we have to become incorporated and connect with the friends and as a result of that we pray that we attract a light that reforms and it does that for us, it's not that we build our degree. We need to know how to nullify to the next degree and then it lands on us.

11. S. (43:34) It Was written in the text many times if a person discloses the love alone in the other doesn't respond then the love has no right to exist and if so, the question is between the friends many times while we are working there's a certain phenomenon where there is where we call it one-sided love that we don't receive the response immediately. Does one sided love have a place of preparation to words the mutual love?

R. Yes, that can happen.

12. S. (44:33) What is for his name?

R. For his sake means in order to bestow.

13. S. (44:57) We say that we need to come to the recognition and hatred of evil and according to what I understand the hatred of evil is something that is a cumulative that I received many impressions, how immersed I am in my will to receive and working in order to receive, how does this work out with the fact that I need to each time in a lesson to start from zero?

R. I don't know what to tell you but I try in the morning, when I wake up, which is midnight. When I wake up, I wake up like an animal that I have nothing, that I don't understand and I don't feel anything and then I begin the day anew, from nothing as it says that there your days will be new in your eyes. At first, I used to be afraid of what is going on but I can't remember anything, where is everything that I had, but it is like we learn with regards to Baal Shem Tov that his helper would start saying words to him and then he began to recall what these words were and then other terms until he came out of such a huge descent where he was like an animal and knew nothing until he rose the whole ladder. We have no way to achieve new states if we don't agree to start from zero.

S. How do I come to the hatred of evil, the accumulation?

R. Think about it more, it is not going to come by itself, connect more to the friends.

Reader reads Shamati 54 again (48:12)

13. S. (55:45) It is not so clear the connection between the first part of the article which speaks about the order of the work and the second part where he suddenly starts to talk about that you need to pray to Infinity explaining the whole structure of how from Ein Sof.

R. How will you do the work if you don't know how to pray, if you don't know who to pray, so you need to have some connection to the whole diagram, the whole depiction from the world of infinity to our world. Our world is first to rise above this world and enter the ladder which means to acquire some vessels of this table to begin to further acquire them to rise.

S. If you could expand a little on the matter Ein Sof.

R. There is nothing too elaborate about, Ein Sof we have no attainment of it is our source, what comes from there is the light that builds the vessels and at the end of the vessels we begin to feel ourselves existing in some reality we call this world and from this world we have to try to emerge from it and rise to higher levels. This doesn't mean that we leave this world all together and detach from it, rather we only rise from one degree to another and another but in each degree, you have Malchut to Keter all the Sefirot where you actually describe the whole of reality even if you are on the highest level you are going to have 10 Sefirot from Malchut to Keter, having the whole of reality in front of you at all times.

14. S. (58:11) I have a certain confusion relative to the article, seemingly, it is said the first thing we need to do is in our feeling of hatred to our ego and only after we reach the zero do, we begin to work on the greatness of the Creator. But we always say the main work has to be in the greatness of the Creator so I'm not certain of these two works?

R. You can't take from this short article which Baal HaSulam spoke on some occasion, you can't take from here the order of the entire work. According to our degree we also have to understand where we are, you say the sensation of the Creator, knowing the Creator that you're not there yet. What can we do? What is up to us to do is to make actions that will bring us closer to entering the work of lights and vessels, screens, restrictions, working on our nature in a way that is just like we work with any other discernment of this world. I still don't have the forces for that and I can't even distinguish in my reality where all of these things are, so your question is a little bit from the future.

15. S. (01:00:07) What actions should we make today so that tomorrow we assure that we can start our work from 0?

R. If I go to bed and I don't want to remember anything and I wake up after a few hours of sleep I am also confused so I don't remember anything, or I have nothing, this is called a good son. That I have switched a certain state, no new state replaces the other state but rather there is a cessation between them like darkness or disconnect and so we don't need to be afraid of those states where we just don't know where we are. We don't, so what? I am still under the governance of the upper force, the Creator, so good, let it be so. That is what we have to get used to and see these things as good. The fact that I have nothing in my mind or heart, that means that I am as if born anew and now I am like a baby in its mother's hands and similarly I am in the Creator's hands so what do I need to do now in order to assist the upper force in nurturing me? The more I devote myself to him, give myself to him, the more I get closer and start a new degree so we need not be afraid of losing what we learned, of course we lose it. Look at Baal Shem Tov, he didn't even remember the letters and then it will come back but on a higher degree. This needs to be in front of us as something necessary and you are going to see the surprises that will come from this, literally new revelations.

16. S. (01:03:14) Could you please tell me again what work to do to purify, to come to purity?

R. Practically to desire to love the friends and ask, turn to the Creator to help us achieve that. To help us achieve love of friends, that is the practical sense of what you're asking about. This is the Practical thing we need to do all the rest is theory, fantasy or whatever you call it. The problem is that we become, I'm also saying this about myself as this is how it was, we come to this after many years as this is what the Creator sets up. Everyone who is greater than his friend, his inclination is greater than himself, so until the person finally understands what is important it takes time, but it does not depend on us, we just have to bow our heads and do the right actions.

17. S. (01:04:47) In the first aspect it awakens an attitude, a pleasure to the separation, can you explain?

R. You think about this well. I hope you are getting the translation and find a better translation that way or ask for some explanation. I'm not going to go back into the article deeper because I know in order to understand it the way I understand it today I read it maybe 40 or 50 times and even now when I read it again, I am going to see some new connections and new states. New relationships between the terms. it is great that I should see them as new as if I didn't see them at all before, this is the best.

18. S. (01:16:00) According to what you just said now, what is the meaning of us not having anything to be like a baby? Is the meaning of not having any desire or only a desire for the Creator?

R. It doesn't matter to me what desire I have because desires are in the Creator's hands, what is important is that on top of all of the desires I want to be connected through the group to the Creator. That is what is important. I don't really look at the states that he is giving to me, that he orchestrates for me, I'm not looking at that because I don't know how exactly it comes to me, what it is dressed in and supposed to lead me to. I don't understand all of that, I am like a child who doesn't understand everything that is going on, what is really required of him. What I know is what I need to do based on what I understand from my little point of view in life. That is the main thing in each and every state is to connect to the group with the aim for the Creator and through these actions I advance.

19. S. (01:07:52) Every morning in the 10 we build a prayer for the day and now in the article that was written here and I want to ask if we need to take into account this demand that we need to pray for the measure of infinity, the connection that exists between the Creator and the created beings, what does it mean to pray?

R. I don't know, each and every one has to depict to himself how he addresses the Creator as the Creator's something undefined, infinite and I have to turn to that concept of Ein Sof that I am under. Of course, I cannot attain it or understand it, or even my connection to it as I don't really attain it, it is just bit by bit through the rungs of the ladder we come to connect to it more and more but still as much as we achieve you get closer to Ein Sof and it becomes more like Ein Sof to you. I do what I have to do, because in order to bestow is the special patent here, why is everything done this way? Because if I am in order to bestow that means I am in complete attainment and understanding, a complete world because I don't want anything more than what comes out of me to the Creator. I don't want to attain him, this is what is called to send my hand to him, but I want to extend out of myself to ascribe to myself the relationship of love and bestowal so I have no other calculations here.

20. S. (01:10:24) How can there be a state where the desire goes down to zero, I won't have the ability to work?

R. Of course it can be like that, there is no desire. What should I do? It says “envy, lust and honor, take a person out of this world.” I have to connect with the friends and by the connection between us, see through these qualities I awaken the egoistic desire within of course and that helps me come out of my state, out of indifference. Otherwise, I am just going to sleep and I don't want to wake up. Only the connection with the friends when I look at them and then through envy, lust and honor I am ready to do the work.

21. S. (01:12:06) Could it be that we are these poor, despicable 21century people deserving of studying the Rabash articles in Shamati, that was too great for Rabash students?

R. Of course we are more worthy of the articles of Shamati then all the previous generations before us. That is because there is what’s called, the decline of the generation, so the next generation will be even worse and they will need the Shamati articles even more. So today it reaches and comes to everyone as we spread it and disseminate it, as much as we can. Specifically, because the more there is a decline of the generations; the worse the generations become the more they need correction and the more they are worthy of correction. Specifically, the worst people, the filthiest people are those who reach corrections and the highest degrees, according to the rule “one who is greater than his friend,” meaning that he goes higher than his friend, his own inclination is greater than himself, meaning he has to be at the minus of the level of which he will be at the plus. If he reached plus 100, he also has to be minus 100.

S. So can you say these articles of Shamati and the book of Zohar are waiting for their time to be revealed?

R. Of course. Yes.

S. The fact that we feel this immense height when we read these articles, that seem like it's written not from this world, is that because we are not ripe?

R. Because we are not ready yet of course, but in Shamati you literally have the light of Ein Sof.

22. S (01:14:55) It really feels like it's an ocean, a deep ocean, and every day we are just putting our foot in and we can't even get in there, Into the depth of it. This work of the purity is the work of connection between us and diving into these deep waters of the article?

R. Yes. We need only to think of how we draw upon ourselves the light that reforms that influences us and do what we need to do. Even if we understand or don't understand, even if we are right or wrong. How can we even check this? We simply need to draw upon ourselves as much reforming light as possible. And to what extent does it light upon us? To the extent we come closer to it. How can we come closer to the light? only through the action, and the only action that we have is to come close to each other. That is, it. There is nothing more. You want the light to shine upon you more so you need to come closer to the friends. That is, it. Even though it is repulsive and you forget about or don't want it and you prefer anything but this; but there is no choice, that specific action is the only action that can help us.

S. So how during the day can we remind each other about this because after the lesson we forget?

R. No, it is not possible that you don't remind each other. It is impossible that you get tired from it or that you get used to it. The habit should become a second nature and not that the habit removes any flavor in it. You need to have connection representatives, there is no choice. So do it in such a way that every single day you will have someone that will put together five sentences of a prayer, from the group, from your 10, to the Creator; Three of those five sentences will be for the friends asking to connect, and two sentences about how from this connection we reach out to the Creator. That is, it. Do that. It is impossible that you go through the day just reading articles or talking about stuff. There has to be a prayer here. Reaching out to the Creator, ok?

23. S (01:18:19) Can you explain the part where he talks about a secret that was mentioned there, I don't understand what he said?

R. It doesn't matter, just talk about it later with the friends and they will explain to you, it’ll be better than whatever I explain.

S. They're cheap and they don't want to explain anything to me.

R. Ask them. Beg them. Maybe buy them a gift, some chocolates, that’s it. They will do it. I think for a box of chocolates they will tell you anything you want. And if that won’t help then get back to me. But it is preferable to get an explanation from them.

24. S (01:19:20) There are two states here, one that the Creator always gives but there isn't a feeling that He gives. I understand we need to build a vessel together. The question is how to reach a state that we can feel that He is really giving?

R. That is all over work. That we want to feel our connection with a Creator in our vessel. The vessel is the feeling. The mind is only helping us guide ourselves but the Kli [vessel] itself is a desire, the desire is a feeling, a sensation. So how can we reach that? We have to first build such relations between one another so that we will begin to feel one another, in the way that from that we will get to feel the Creator. Imagine that you are with the friends and you have a good strong group; each one should try to feel the 10. Try it, to that extent you will be ready to feel the Creator. The Creator is revealed in the 10. We spoke about it many times. The center of the 10 is where you will reveal the Creator. That’s it, there's no problem here; only exercise and exercise and exercise in trying to feel ourselves connected together.

25. S. (01:21:27) About this partnership with the Creator that you explained in the beginning, is still not clear. Because you always explain that in this period of concealment is when we give great commitment to the Creator, so in this I think we can feel partners. But the moment we attain spirituality even in the smallest measure, I don't understand how we become his partners? It's like coming to a billionaire with $1000 and saying let’s be partners.

R. No you cannot come to Him if you’re not connected. You can't connect with Him if you’re not connected, meaning with the friends. You can't identify Him. You can't even make a single step towards Him if you are not first connected, prior to that. With what vessel are you coming? Even with the smallest vessel it has to be built by everyone, from all of the parts. 10 and not 9, 10 and not 11; It means, not the 10 but it means that everyone needs to be connected and no one is left out.

S. So when can we say that the created beings are starting to become partners of the Creator, even in small percentages?

R. When they will be able to give Him something or more so to receive something from Him. In order to do these actions, to give to the Creator or to receive from the Creator we need to be in some kind of form a connection between us, to the Creator. We reach a state that we reveal the Creator, we connect to him to give to Him or receive from Him; to give Him meaning to bestow in order to bestow and to receive from Him is to receive in order to bestow. If we already have such relations with the Creator; that is already that we have a ten, a group and the Creator in front of us and we are all set.

26. S. (01:23:52) Working in purity and in holiness, can we say that purity is bestowing in order to bestow and Holiness is receiving in order to bestow?

R. Yes, that's right.

27. S. (01:24:18) You said that we need to learn that every day we will be as new. From this should I understand that we do not need to do a summary beyond the day that has passed?

R. Every day with its own summary. Every morning, every afternoon and every evening has its own summary: In the morning it is how we start the day, at noon we meet about what we worked on and what we need to work on till the end of the day, and at the end of the day a summary. That's how it has to be; It is like 3 prayers.

28. S. (01:25:15) It is clear that every day has to start as new, that is clear. What is the means that can cleanse our vessel?

R. Only connection between us; that we draw upon ourselves the upper light in order for it to help us to connect. That is, it. That is how we clear ourselves, is by the upper light as it is written “Mikveh [body of purifying water] of Israel is the Creator” meaning only the upper light can cleanse us from in order to receive, from all those thoughts, and by that we come closer.

29. S. (01:26:18) In what is the work of purity different from the correction called holiness?

R. Tahara [purity] and Kedusha [holiness] are two things. Purity means that I purify myself, also by the upper light but I cleanse myself, that is purity; that I cleanse myself from my ego, from in order to receive, that I relate to everything without any self-regard. It is as if he doesn't relate to me, belong to me, connect to me. That I'm doing it completely objectively. That is the work of purity. That we purify ourselves from any thoughts and intentions in order to receive for ourselves. Then later there is the action of holiness. It is after purity when we come out of this cleanse from our ego then, we add to ourselves additional intentions, thoughts, actions for the others, in order to bestow, to give. That we are entirely in Him, in the others, in the friends, in the Creator; outside of ourselves. Then we truly begin to discover what is in this place that is outside of us, before that we didn't even feel that place. Before that we had a feeling that that’s it, this is the world. No. We begin to discover that we are truly in a different world, in the spiritual world, and we reveal it; the worlds, the Sefirot’s, the Partzufim and all of these are ours. They are in us, and outside of us. Only the infinite light fulfills all of reality and that is what we are gradually beginning to reveal and be fulfilled by it. Well, however it came out, maybe next time it will come out better.

30. S. (01:29:24) What is this process of cleansing and correcting in the ten?

R The cleansing is made by coming closer to the friends. To the extent that all of us together are included more and more in order to build above us, meaning outside of our ego, mutual bestowal, which is called building the Creator as it is written ‘You have made Me.’ The term Bore, Creator, is Bo, come, and re, see. Come and see. We build Him between us

31. S. (01:30:22) How to quickly come out of the state of Klipa that you spoke about at the beginning of the lesson?

R. Quickly, there's only one way. I begin to serve the friends. Very simple. I start doing something for them whatever they need, no problem, I am willing. It is the most beneficial and the fastest.

32. S. (01:30:53) What does the Creator want to give us and what should we want to receive from the Creator?

R. The Creator wants to give us everything, to fulfill the entire desire of ours that He created. Only we need to prepare that desire in a way that we will be able to receive from Him all the fulfillments, all of the benefits. That is why we have to do the work of purity. When we do that, we need to engage in holiness so that we will be able to receive from Him in order to bestow. We are willing to receive it from Him, but in order to bestow.

33. S. (01:31:53) What is love? What does it mean to reveal love toward someone?

R. To reveal love towards someone means that I want to fulfill all of their desires. Like a mother towards her child. That is called love, simple as that. A mother towards a baby has a natural love, but we have natural hatred and rejection towards one another. We need to first of all detach from the hatred, from the separation. That is called the work of purity, that I purify myself. I then do the actions of holiness that I am willing to bestow upon the friends.

34. S. (01:33:06) Why is it written that the lower one has a desire to bestow and the matter is their desire to bestow into the lower one, into the will to receive, is included there?

R. So how will the lower one work if not by using his desire? Without the desire there is nothing. Our matter is the desire to receive. If there was no desire to receive then we would not exist. That is why the upper light does many actions in four phases of direct light in order to build the Malchut. That is the desire. This desire will be in order to receive in order to bestow but is still a desire. That is creation. Then we only need to learn what is a good desire and what is a bad desire in the eyes of the Creator. How can we transition from our desire that is being revealed in us as an evil desire, if we discover it this way, to a good desire and then we understand why the Creator created this world as He did and why we are among the friends and what we can do in changing the connection that is between us.

35. S. (01:34:40) Does everyone developing spiritually feel the feeling of shattering? What is the difference between that and the feeling of the descent?

R. First of all, we need to feel the corruption on every degree. Kabbalists tell us that we all came after the sin of Adam HaRishon. As if we were driving in some car and the car completely broke down, every single part of it from the wheels to the steering wheel, to the motor. All kinds of things. Everything is malfunctioning and besides, it malfunctioning it also broke down and fell apart. We have this little pile of the car. What do we do? We need to scrutinize every single detail and to know how to connect them. We check every single detail in order to bestow. Is he even willing to connect to the other parts in order to again be in the corrected car? The pieces that are willing to do this or are willing to or worthy, we start with them in building the car. That’s how we see what fits and what doesn’t fit and how we can reach connection. That’s our work. It is not complicated. It is only to look at all of these things from a practical point of view.

36. S. (01:37:22) How can a ten erase the previous day and everyday start anew?

R. I think the best is for every person to do spiritual work when he wakes up. It could be in the middle of the day for him, in the middle of a workday, at night, morning, or evening. It depends on what place on the planet he is in. That person needs to start the preparation for the lesson by turning to the Creator, by turning to the group and connecting to them and writing a few sentences together with them. Five sentences, three of them are turning to one another and in the last two sentences they reach out to the Creator. That's it. Asked from Him and thanked Him.

37. S (0 1:39:041) Do you mean another friend has to put the daily prayer together?

R. Yes.
