Morning Lesson August 5, 2021 Transcription
1. R. (00:21) This material is very important for us to understand where we are drawn to even though each and every one of us has his tendency to reveal the Creator, we can't distance ourselves from the collective as we are in it, we depend on it and this collective should reach in the final correction, equivalence with the Creator meaning the general force of bestowing to be in a state where it controls it or want it or not we depend on the process of the whole world Kli, it doesn't divide into parts as it is all one vessel, all one soul and this is why we should see how Baal HaSulam describes this to us.
Subtitle: (01:21) “The Attribute of Singularity in the Egoism….”
2. R. (03:06) How good it is to be connected when everyone is connected and you are drawing everyone to connection and unity and so it is in the opposite way, when we are not connected yet and our tendencies are in various directions this singularity, this quality destructs.
Reader continues: (03:36) “Indeed there is not a single person in the world that is free from a….”
3. R. (04:52) The greater a person is he may be a great criminal or a great righteous one compared to the other it can appear within a person and everything depends on whether he is corrected or not, a great desire can act, and appear in both directions.
We read about each one having an individual desire, in each and every one of these desires distinguish among us if we correct our desires to use them for one goal and it doesn't matter in which desire each and every one of us is. You can be certain it is going to be different than the others. The main thing is the goal that we want to attain and then each of us as he connects to others acting the same goal, we all profit and vice versa if we are not connected all of the destruction and singularity that each and every one has, acts in destruction and we are separated and ruining each other. This is why he tells us the attribute of singularity affects ruin and destruction.
4. S. (06:46) We see from the past in history that a lot of people that are outstanding did a lot of good things, they discovered science, in our times can individuality bring good?
R. In truth nothing good was made from any action that was revealed in humanity after the sin of the tree of knowledge if it is not in the direction of correction, meaning if it is not by the Kabbalists. All of the qualities and the revelations, all of the laws that we discover by science for instance are only to develop more and more means to control. We have nothing that comes from a broken desire to receive rather than with the purpose to control others that is why he says that the attribute of singularity in the egoism affects ruin and destruction. This is why the entire humanity from its beginning until today all that it discovers, all that it shows is forces of ruin and destruction. Don't start telling me about the medicine that we are having, everything ultimately if you look at it, it all inverts to become forces to control each other.
5. S. (08:44) We, the Kabbalah students, also have to go through this process of being criminals to become righteous. How does our process affect the whole world?
R. We also have done this in the past, now you try to be the righteous.
6. S. (09:12) When I try to adhere to the singularity of a friend, what can I understand from that about the Creator?
R. To the extent that you try to be connected to your friends through these attributes of singularity that each and every one has you come closer to the Creator and in no other way, we think that we can come closer to the Creator in all kinds of other ways. No, only through the connection with the friends, there in the connection with the friends do we find such new qualities that you cannot attain them neither in the study nor in any other place. This is where you find the quality of connection to the Creator, understanding, strength, that is where you do it.
7. S. (10:20) He says each one invents for himself according to his direction because the desire is the root of the intellect?
R. The main thing for us is to correct the desire.
S. What is using the intellect?
R. Using the intellect to correct the desire itself, the intellect works in all kinds of directions, this is like a baby, like a small child who doesn't understand it has a bit of a strong desire according to what he feels but without the intellect, it's dangerous.
S. So what's going on is that each one invents his own directions that he chooses?
R. Of course, if we don't give all of the desires of humanity the right direction you see that everyone comes closer to wars and problems.
S. So how to affect them, that it will really happen?
R. The fact that we discover that the floods, the fires, earthquakes, volcanoes, this is all a result of the imbalance between us because the desire to receive is in control of us without our correct care and this is why it is erupting. In the meantime in lower degrees than us, the degrees of still, vegetative and animate, the pandemic is a blow on the animal degree. Try to imagine what is going to happen that we are going to become even worse and we are still not going to connect and the trouble on the speaking level is war.
S. You said we depend on the whole general Kli, all of humanity?
R. The whole of humanity.
S. Just like that?
R. Because your goal is to pass light to the entire humanity.
S. It doesn't matter if they understand?
R. They don't need to understand anything, they just need to respond to the light that through you will pass on to them.
S. How do you feel their response?
R. I feel.
S. Their response?
R. Yes, they are responding.
8. S. (13:30) What is the connection between the four attributes to the four spiritual worlds?
R. That is something we will learn, there is a connection but it appears only in one line, we have to learn about this as it is a broad subject in itself.
9. S. (14:10) If everything comes from the Creator and He stands behind everything, what is our individuality?
R. That is when you need to attach all of your desires and thoughts to the Creator and then he will understand and feel that everything is really drawn from him, extended from him.
Subtitle: (14:53) “Using the Nature of Singularity as a Subject….”
10. R. (22:34) We are not going to go into the depth of what he writes here because it is many words and who knows how we accept them and understand them all.
11. S. (22:54) What is the breaking point between the vessels of reception and the vessels of bestowing on the first degree?
R. The point of the conception is where the first connection between the vessels of bestowing and the vessels of reception, that both the vessels have reception and the vessels of bestowing are both bestowing and this is why they may connect, they want nothing besides being connected. Who and what and by whom is not certain because there is not the 0, no flesh, this is where you start developing.

S.
(24:22)
You
explained
a
few
minutes
ago
that
humanity
will
react
to
the
light
that
passes
through
us.
How
will
that
response
be?
R.
That
depends
how
successful
we
are
at
being
the
transition
as
Baal
HaSulam
explains
in
the
articles
Matan
Torah
and
The
Arvut.
If
we
are
successful
in
our
role
humanity
will
come
closer
to
us,
it
won't
oppose
us
and
it
will
feel
that
what
comes
from
us
is
true
good
bestowing,
a
good
method
that
helps
it,
helps
them
to
come
closer
to
the
good
source
but
if
we
won't
function
in
a
good
way
then
what
we
are
going
to
get
is
hatred
from
all
of
humanity.
Instinctive
hate
just
as
today
you
can
see
anti-Semitism
from
the
whole
of
humanity
towards
the
Jews
this
is
how
all
of
humanity
will
hate
us.
They
will
feel
how
each
and
every
one
of
us,
not
necessarily
the
group
but
that
each
and
every
one
of
us
is
a
harm
doer,
harming
humanity
because
instead
of
bringing
something
good
to
them
that
they
are
getting
something
opposite,
something
bad
then
there
is
a
question,
why
are
we
getting
bad
things
from
them.
Is
this
my
enemy,
is
this
my
hater,
then
the
hatred
is
awakened
and
the
negative
relation
towards
us
appears.
This
is
why
we
need
as
fast
as
possible
to
take
care
of
the
dissemination
of
the
wisdom
of
Kabbalah
to
entire
humanity
as
much
as
we
can
as
it
won't
do
to
run
away
from
that
because
it
is
already
in
the
souls,
it
is
written
this
way
and
we
are
going
to
discover
from
humanity
either
the
good
relation
towards
us
or
the
bad
one.
Running
away
to
someplace,
hiding
will
not
help.
13. S. (27:21) In the past there were also floods and volcanoes and pandemics. If I tell a person that it is connected to the lack of connection between us, he'll say it was like this in the past as well. The question is, was it also connected back then to the lack of connection between us and what is new this time?
R. Yes, that was also because of the lack of the right connection between human beings as everything is determined only according to the human beings but the difference between the past and the present is that today we can correct the connections between us. In the past we could not but rather we were only in states that the disasters and troubles connected and accumulated until we reach what we have today.
14. S. (28:36) A lot of times you say we have to disseminate to everybody the wisdom of Kabbalah, the wisdom of connection. What do you mean everybody there are eight billion people in the world so if one explanation reaches 8 billion or 1000, what does it matter, what is everybody?
R. As it says everyone will know me from the smallest to the biggest and my house will be the house of prayer to all the nations is how we have to realize the Creator's address to us.
S. Practically in numbers?
R. I don't understand, I'm not as wise as you are, I know this is what is written and so I have to try to do that. That is all. In my attempts when I tried that I see I'm drawing you toward that as well so don't be wise, you can be wise in the end.
S. So the effort and the desire for it to happen is what determines?
R. Yes, of course we don't need to discover, just a desire that we go hand-in-hand with the Creator in the same process and in the same goal that he discovers and that is the meaning that he is the Creator’s servant and I don't make these calculations on the path. He determines it and places it this way in this is what I'm going for, how will it help you that you go into it with your brains?
S. We are trying to find the right channels to reach as many people as we can.
R. That is something you can research, in which way you can reach the public and bestow these matters to it, that is correct but not beyond that. You cannot research the purpose of creation, the essence of creation before you have the vessels for it, the tools for it. These vessels, meaning that you have the good and the bad forces, the desire to receive and the desire to bestow and both the corrupt and the correct way and leave between the two, by these two we scrutinize all the parts of creation. How can you, we are just babies.
S. Where is the limit to speak of dissemination as a corporeal issue or where is it a spiritual issue?
R. I need all these people on the corporeal level to try according to their intellects, to their approach I need to bring an explanation to them about how the world is working and where it is heading to, what is the final result from the existence of the world. This is something I have to explain in a simple way so that they can understand more.
S. This is confusing me because before they asked and you said they don't need to understand.
R. It depends what, I don't explain to them beyond us all having to be connected and according to our tendency to connection is how we also succeed in each and every part of our life.
S. It is important for them to understand that because that is their form of participation?
R. Yes, because they are going to understand that when they take part, the way they understand the process by the Creator they will feel good and if they don't, they will feel bad. This is all that I publish to them. I don't go beyond the height of their desire and intellect.
15. S. (33:20) Baal HaSulam writes that each one will find his singularity to bestow to others, can we say anyone in Bnei Baruch has found their singularity?
R. Not yet, we are now speaking about conception, impregnation, that is each one's unique point in the general system of the soul of Adam HaRishon and then each one will find himself and from starting to work he will discover what exactly his unique role is, and what he is different from the others and with what he can help the others.
16. S. (34:15) If the transition to spirituality by entrance into the state of embryo, does that open the passageway for humanity, for the lower vessels?
R. It brings them closer on behalf of these surrounding light, the surrounding light through us becomes internal and for them it becomes external, then in an indirect manner it gives them some kind of ability to come near, to feel and to understand.
S. For us it gives us a better ability to explain?
R. Yes, of course we are very dependent upon the MAN of humanity as much as they are desiring the same goal even though they don't understand, their desire opens the ability for us to demand and ask of the Creator. Then the upper light comes from us to them and we reach the true role to become the conduit from the Creator to all the souls.
S. Does the systematic interdependence between us and humanity affect the entrance into Ibur?
R. Of course, what do you go into Ibur for, what do you turn to the Creator for, yourself? Not even for the group, the true cry for the Creator is that you want to get the forces of correction to correct the entire AHP which is 99.9% of the general vessel of Adam HaRishon of all the souls. This is what you want to bring Him that He will correct and fill, this is His pleasure. Without you bringing this to him he won't enjoy it and this will be bad for the Creator and for the AHP, the created beings and you in the middle will be guilty towards the Creator and also towards the created being and then it is no wonder what is happening to you, what has happened to you throughout history.
S. The coarseness that grows in the embryo, in the flesh, is out of the desires of humanity or the 10?
R. Both this and that.
17. S. (37:27) In the excerpt it seems that Baal HaSulam gives philanthropy as an example for others, for giving others. Can you relate to that?
R. That's not important and it is not our work.
18. S. (38:05) How should we use this quality of individuality, singularity if not for destruction?
R. You are pulling everybody into the correction not that you are connecting people in their egoistic desire, you are connecting people in the intention to bestow between them and then it will be for the benefit of everybody.
S. How does that practically happen in the 10 with our different individualities?
R. It doesn't matter the individuality of each and every one because our work is to aim everybody towards the same goal and if we don't do it, the Creator pulls us in all kinds of unpleasant means like now, He is pushing humanity forward and it is worthwhile for us to hasten ourselves.
S. What we learn in the first part as well is that we have to annul ourselves so it turns out that now we have to annul our individuality?
R. Yes, of course. That is called that we are restricting ourselves in order to find a point between us which is not yours or mine, it is the Creator's, that in Him we want to connect, to Him we want to adhere. That individuality we want to restrict it and not to show it, to not feel it as if it doesn't exist. Then we adhere to Him and after we connect to Him: that is called that the seed has reached the wall of the womb, now it starts receiving nourishment and is growing.
S. So it turns out according to what you say that using that individuality, as it is written, not for ruin but for a different kind of individuality?
R. In order to bestow so you are working for everybody, otherwise it's in order to receive and you are destroying everybody.
19. S. (41:10) We have been praying for the friends and we understood that through our prayers towards the friends, through that we will reach the world, now it seems like there is something new that somehow we have to incorporate in this operation, where do we fit the rest of the world?
R. We can't, you are right, we talked about how we connect between us that is actually what we were saying here, we were speaking about the connection between us. The connection between us is called GE: they are the vessels from the general soul, vessels of bestowal that is what we were talking about. First of all, let's connect in the 10, let's connect between us in Bnei Baruch and afterwards, now we are speaking in this article, in a general connection that we have to reach a state that we are connected to humanity. Connecting ourselves to all the vessels of Adam HaRishon, these vessels are completely, not able, not in thought or desire to be aimed towards the Creator, you look at them and you see. Those who are above, called Israel, Yashar-El, direct to the Creator, they are aimed there, they supposedly have an inner tendency. Those who are in the AHP, they don't have this inner tendency, they don't know, they just see and feel bad that there is a big minus in them and they don't know what to do, fires, floods and all kinds of other problems, you will see that it will happen in the world. They're saying within 20 to 30 years that you won't be able to live life on Earth, they say what they say. But the conditions are going to be much worse as who thought 3 years ago or even 2 years ago that we wouldn't be able to fly? That we will need to walk around the streets in a very isolated way from others and to not come close 6 feet from each other? Who knew or thought of it? We would laugh if a person said all that. So briefly, we are in a state that we can connect to the Creator but, if we from connecting to the Creator and organizing ourselves in some way, whatever we can if we won't let the AHP connect to the Creator through us so it will be very bad because the problems that will be revealed here in the AHP, will be very great and they will destroy everything, they will bring a world war and all kinds of problems. This is why we need as quick as we can to connect between ourselves and connect between us to the Creator and we need to spread the method of correction, but not the way we do it but only knowledge of where we are advancing towards, because today we are allowed to explain all of this. You see such conditions in the world that whatever you say there is no problem, you can say whatever you want as, whoever listens - will and whoever won't - won't; and from all the problems and troubles that are revealed in the world, they can absorb these things. The main thing is to promise some good future for themselves. This is why it is time that we need to publish the method of correction, to explain it in general, about where we are and to bring the whole world into it as much as possible and according to that we connect the Creator through us, to all of humanity.
S. Can we say in the 10 is only prayer and towards AHP it's only dissemination?
R. Yes, in the end that is how it is. Even more than that, we receive from the AHP the minuses, deficiencies from them and we raise it through us to the Creator that is called Man / prayer. Then we receive from the Creator the force of the light and bring it through us and fill the vessels of Malchut of the AHP, this is our work, to receive the deficiency towards the Creator and to receive from Him the force of lights, to humanity. That is why we are called the ‘passage’ that he says to us in Matan Torah / the receiving of the Torah.
S. When it says that we receive deficiencies from the AHP, does that mean we received problems like the floods, fires, economy?
R. Yes, they can't discover these deficiencies in any other way, only in this way, to their level of suffering, they don't feel more than that and we need to translate their deficiencies, their suffering from the deficiencies of pandemic, fires and so on. We need to translate it to a lack of correct connection between us, between us and the Creator, and that is what we have to raise to the Creator. Give us the ability to connect between us, by this we want to connect to you, to bring all of humanity to you, this is what we need to do and by that, by us, developing this plea for all of humanity, we will keep our destiny, fulfill our destiny; why do we even exist? Because the group is separated and if we won't do it, the Creator will pull us one by one through all kinds of suffering and force us to perform this role.

(50:46)
In
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic
in
Moscow,
friends
are
coming
back
to
the
group
and
we
thought
we
should
build
a
10
for
them;
there's
not
enough
friends
to
be
a
whole
10
so
they
are
joining
other
tens
that
have
experience.
Should
we
move
them
to
a
different
10
or
should
the
10
decide?
R.
I
wouldn't
build
separate
tens
for
them.
To
the
extent
that
they
participate
you
will
decide
where
each
one
of
them
belongs.
The
materials
we
are
studying
are
for
everybody
and
it
all
depends
only
on
the
deficiency
in
a
person's
heart
and
there
is
no
difference
between
a
veteran
or
a
new
guy.
I
would
merge
them
in
all
the
10,
I
wouldn't
make
a
separate
10,
unless
they
think
it
would
be
good
but
I
think
it
is
an
egoistic
demand.
We
need
to
reach
a
state
that
we
are
all
together,
in
one
heart.
21. S. (52:22) Tell us please, what should be the right prayer that we turn to the Creator for humanity?
R. Thank you for asking that, so today we will speak about that and we will try to write it and tomorrow we will ask you, so what prayer, short prayer, no more than five sentences; how do we pray for humanity? For us we already talked about it, we need to pray for us to connect to the Creator but what do we need to connect to the Creator for? That we receive humanity and want to bring them closer to the Creator then it is justified that we exist. That is why we need to connect these three parts together. As we see in the drawing; the Creator is above, humanity is below and we are in the middle, GE. That is why we need to think about the Creator and humanity and only serve them.
22. S. (54:01) Can you help us be precise about the state of conception / Ibur, the main thing is self-annulment?
R. Completely the seed annuls itself, it wants only one thing, to adhere to the upper One in order to receive forces of bestowal.
S. When I want to completely annul myself and attach to the upper One, it turns out that our point, the most important point, the will to receive, that is connecting us with the upper force, that has been given to us to be thankful about the connection and hold on to it despite all the disturbances. Can this point disappear?
R. It is written simply, the will to receive doesn't disappear, you can only use it more or less according to your intention to bestow and how you want to use the will to receive. So don't be afraid that the will to receive will run from you, it won't escape, only keep your intention and add all your desires as much as possible but first, the intention. Like the sperm, you want to adhere to the Creator. So do it and then start feeling yourself by growing and bestowing to Him. This is how it takes place.
S. If it's the opposite, will the connection grow?
R. On the contrary, you can't be connected to the Creator on more than one point, after that one point all the rest when you grow it is according to as much as you grow in your body meaning, as much as you receive forces from the Creator you pass them to the others, otherwise how do you grow? That edition, where did it come from? You only have an ability to adhere in a point, you can't get fatter because that fattening only comes by you, connecting more and more friends, earth dwellers, everyone to you, that you passed to them what you have received from the Creator. So according to the quality and quantity that you give them it turns out that you, from the degree of conception, move to the degree of Nursing / Yenika and then to Gadlut / greatness, and so on, only in such a way does it work.
S. What is the difference between the sperm that annul itself and the billions who have not?
R. There is a lot to it. They come out as ‘blood of birth’, those are the Gevurot, judgments; the desires to receive that were not corrected, they go out with the embryo/Ubar when he is born, as a waste, let’s say, you can read about it but I'm afraid you'll get confused. It’s written in the tenth part of TES, maybe the 11th, we will get there, it is close to us, soon we will learn about it.
S. Is this the closest example of annulment? You give the example of the womb, what is the difference between one who is able to annul and enter and the billions who stayed outside?
R. Man feels the whole world as a womb, it is all the Creator, and he needs to connect to Him. This is why in every place where he is, in thought and in action, what he does, he feels that he has a connection with the Creator and he wants to expand that connection. That is how he feels himself in the world, the world is the womb and he is in that womb.
23. S. (59:26) Tell us please what should we do if the evil inclination is revealed in me that I feel I can't be an example for anyone, what is my prayer?
R. You try to lower yourself to the degree of a point and then in such a way you can glue yourself to the 10, that is it. Do what they are doing, learn and talk to them, listen to them. As there are states that a person needs to go through that is called ‘he who shut his mouth during an argument’, meaning that if you have problems with the Creator and you feel yourself in such a way that you're having a contradiction then, close your mouth and shut up and in that way you can go through this time. This is called ‘he who shuts his mouth during an argument’’. You will see that you only gain from that.
S. This is also if I eat myself up a little bit, because I feel it's not really the way I am?
R. It is a completely wrong way to observe your state, it all comes from the Creator, He gives you this feeling, He gives you these forces, do not describe something to you as if you caused everything. Everything that happens in the world is None Else Besides Him, but from now you do it as if it depends upon you.
