Part 1:
Winning the War - Selected excerpts to reinforce the World Kli and for peace in the world. #27
1.Rav’s Introduction: Our path is when the Creator is concealed from the beginning because the vessel was shattered. The desire which was entirely in revelation of the Creator on the degree called Garden of Eden before the sin. This vessel shattered, starting a feeling in this vessel that it is disconnected from the Creator and according to the disconnection that exists between the broken parts the goal was for this vessel to perform all the necessary actions to reconnect and to reveal the Creator and reach a state of good. This new condition that was revealed, it is not so clear, it is not so convenient for the vessel. Connection which brings us to the good state has to be for the sake of the Creator and not for the sake of the vessel, the parts of the vessel. They need not yearn to connect because it will be good for them but in order to give contentment to that force that will then clothe in the vessel which unites its broken parts. In this way through the correct direction, through the correct advancement the parts of the vessel build a state for the Creator to be revealed as it is written you have made me and in this work, in this effort there are two things here, the broken vessel and the Creator. The goal of the work is to discover that there is None Else Besides Him. That at the end of the day the state that is revealed is revealed for the sake of that created being to discover himself as broken for the sake of being whole, and to be whole for the sake of giving the Creator the ability to be revealed and to give Him contentment. This is the entire reason. Hence we have to be Incorporated in this work, to try to feel those states that are going over us and the more we review them internally, purposefully to that extent we will be incorporated in the purpose of creation. We will be Incorporated; we’ll connect with that force “there is None Else Besides Him” that works in creation. Let's see what’s written.
Excerpt 27 (04:41)
2. R. (05:55) We have a few things here. First of all, that everything is intentional, and it’s not for the Creator towards him, that he’s whole and above everything, but towards the created beings. For them to feel the concealment and for every stage in the concealment they will want to reach revelation and then in the relationship between concealment and revelation they will be able to build the correct feeling, how and in what way the Creator is concealed and how and in what way He’s revealed. That concealment and revelation are what builds in the creature the feeling of reality, the upper reality, the correct spiritual reality. In this way the creature comes from a feeling of complete disconnection from the true spiritual reality in existence, in the imaginary reality, to the point where the person discovers through his efforts the true reality which as our current reality is also incorporated from concealment and revelation and only from these two things we include in our feeling, in our reality. In this way we discover that there is none else besides Him starting from completely not feeling the Creator, completely not having an awareness of Him until it gradually reveals and fills all of reality down to the last detail. All the parts of reality, all the details of reality are in total revelation of the Creator, revelation of there is none else besides Him. This is the main thing. There is none else besides Him is not the Creator. It’s a fact that other than the Creator there is nothing. But the Creator himself is already a more internal attainment. This is how it’s revealed to us. It is relative to the creature. It appears as there is none else besides Him and beyond there is none else besides Him we attain the Creator. Just like a name that we used to call a person or a friend. We don’t aim for the name but the person himself. Similarly when we call the Creator none else besides Him we aim at the internal essence that is revealed beyond this concept.
3. S. (09:36) I heard you say that we don’t connect so that we will feel good, but we connect in order to bring the Creator contentment. Can this be so that we also make the soul feel good after we bring the Creator contentment? What part of us do we look at to make it feel good to be able to do the work, or is it only to bring the Creator contentment?
R. If I can aim myself at the Creator, and of course this is through the other because I do not know how to aim myself at a state that is outside of me. So I have around me a reality, and if I aim at something that is outside of me, if I aim to benefit that I can also aim at the Creator. This is why it says that behind every friend there is the Creator. So in this way I can check myself, I can aim myself, I can accustom myself truly to turn to the Creator as much as possible, more and more. I relate to a person like this because the Creator is always concealed, but I turn to people and want to establish with them that same attitude above my ego, above my rejection. The forces of separation, those habits are where I only want to feel myself as existing, getting and what do I have for everyone? If I nevertheless truly try to connect with at least a limited number of people that are outside of me then I wish to connect with them in spite of the forces of separation. The forces of separation are established and my tendency for connection in spite of that is also arranged and it’s growing stronger. I come to build a special force where my coarseness, my rejection is great and above it the tendency and inclination towards connection with others grows and then I reach a state as it is written that love covers all transgressions. But in truth I am connecting the broken parts where the force of shattering exists between them, repulsion, separation. To fit them together by believing the Creator arranged for us the meeting in the ten and that He will also be able to glue us to one another and reveal Himself in this form of connection.
S. Do I see that this will be good for me, for the friends, for the soul of Adam HaRishon? Who do I see that this will be good for?
R. In truth it has to be good for everyone. Maybe it is not apparent to me yet or maybe in some parts yes and in other parts no, but the good we are talking about is the general good because it is covered by the force of bestowal that has to dwell over everyone.
4. S. (14:15) What does it mean to feel none else besides Him in the ten? What does it mean to feel the Creator Himself in the ten?
R. We have to reach a state where each and everyone in the ten, well in the group, we call each group a ten, this is the optimal form but if less or fewer friends than ten that is also good. We have to reach a state where we are drawn to the connection and in this connection we complete one another. We do not understand what it means to complete one another but we have to believe that the Creator has gathered us and is connecting us in such a way that we are truly made to complete one another into this complete puzzle, this complete form, to such a degree that in this form we discover all of reality. Upper ones, lower ones, all the world, everything can be revealed inside the ten, absolutely and this happens when in the ten we can later detect other tens, then hundreds and thousands and all of reality, humanity, all the worlds. Everything is revealed in the ten or through the ten. It’s hard for us to express such states where we lack the correct impression in our senses. We need to see how to connect ourselves in a maximum way until we connect into one structure. This one structure will give us the feeling of the true spiritual reality, where there are no shatterings, no parts, where we are all connected the way many drops of water connect to bigger and bigger drops until the entire big sea or big one drop. We’ll feel how everyone requires everyone else, needs them, how we complete one another. Specifically according to the degree that we complete one another we discover the one force that appears and grows into ten. A small ten, a big ten where the Creator is revealed from come and see, BoReh, where “come” are the forces of separation that connect and complete one another until they are called “and see.” From “come and see” from these two states, two actions that are opposite to one another, by that we will feel the wholeness. The revelation of the wholeness of general reality through our own efforts is called the revelation of the Creator.
5. S. (18:13) Is None Else Besides Him where we discover the inner part of the Creator? What does it mean?
R. We can’t explain it. Those things, they do not belong to our feeling and understanding in a way that we can pass it to one another. Rather as much as we try nevertheless to be connected, to increase the connection, accordingly we’ll be able to reach the revelation of the truth and then we will be able to talk. We can’t convey spiritual things through words or in writing. We can only help one another by giving advice, do this or do that. Then from doing you will come to feel it because it is all a matter of feeling.
6. S. (19:30) How to feel the Creator? Is it somewhat possible to feel the Creator behind every friend but behind every person this is more difficult?
R. This will come later. We do not have to exert in that, it will come later. First work on those vessels, qualities, feelings that appear in us. Let's take care of those first and gradually more subtle feelings will be revealed and in them we will be able to feel more and more details and the more we advance the more we’ll discover even more subtle details. But specifically those details add to us those exalted special discernments.
7. S. (20:47) We can justify the whole world but what about myself? Should I also justify myself and say that there is none else besides Him? Sometimes a person feels that he is causing damage to the world and his will to receive it is opposite to the force of bestowal. How do we relate to ourselves?
R. We need to divide this into two. On one hand There is None Else Besides Him, it’s not me who is doing anything and so much is written about this very clearly. The Creator created the evil inclination, He caused the shattering in it, He makes everything in the world, there is none else besides Him. So where is the person in here? There is nothing of the person. The evil that we cause to all of creation is to the extent that we don’t demand from the Creator to correct those things. He starts creation, he finishes creation. There is no other force that works here. But He works, He operates according to our need for correction. This is our free choice. All of creation is suffering because people do not demand wholeness, a complimentary distance of all the forces.
S. So the feeling is that a person stands against the Creator and the whole world is fine and the blame is on me. I cannot say that I am working correctly. I seem to be working in the opposite way, I need correction. So how can it be that I’m not working against the Creator here?
R. I don’t understand you but it’s not so important that we are working for or against Him. What does it mean, work? It is only in the thought; everything will be clarified in the thought. Hence all of our work is how we discover every moment what is missing in creation. For the time being to advance to a more complete, more whole state and nothing is lacking except the revelation of the Creator in a creation, from side to side, in each and every degree, in each and every state. So we have to keep it so that in each and every moment we will need the revelation of the Creator more and more and how do we express this lack? In the connection between us and in this way we advance.
S. Baal HaSulam writes that there is no other force in the word that has the ability to do anything against Him. But my will to receive I feel it as working opposite to bestowal when the evil becomes revealed. From these points can there be such a thing that I am working against the Creator in reality?
R. No, it works together with the Creator so you will reveal the Creator as There is None Else Besides Him. Without this force that works against you, you would not be able to discover Him. Hence they work in harmony. It’s like an alternate current. All kinds of things that work towards the same goal but one after the other. You can’t discover one without the other. If not for the Creator there is no created being, if not for the created beings there is no Creator. Both of them have to pass over the will to receive, the matter the Creator created, and to program the will to receive to feel the absence of the presence of the Creator and the presence of the Creator. Then from two, the absence and the presence, you get the created being that has only one point in it, the will to receive. But this will to receive when it receives light and darkness, light and darkness all the time, by this it grows in different ways, in different forms, until it reaches such a degree of revelation. Meaning in the relationship between light and darkness that it discovers the concept of the Creator that equals the light and the darkness. He discovers this concept of his root fully. Then the creature feels how it comes to adhesion with the Creator specifically in the feeling of light and darkness and the darkness always precedes the light. This determines the reality of the creature.
8. S. (26:46) I wanted to ask what it means that the created being needs to dress into the upper force?
R. The created being needs to dress in the upper force as a force that is opposite. The upper one creates an equivalence above its opposition and according to the degree of equivalence to the upper one it comes to a state where he copies the upper one onto himself and he becomes like the upper one. He remains himself in this matter that is opposite the upper one. That’s why he has a right to exist, that’s why he is called the created being, the one who is standing before the Creator on one hand. On the other hand he is completely similar to the Creator. Also in his similarity to the Creator it will come to a state where he’s opposite the Creator and that’s why they have a relationship between them like a couple, one completes the other. There is no creature without the Creator, there is no Creator without the creature. But specifically when the creature grows and arranges himself correctly through this work, through these actions he reveals the Creator to all of creation. There are many things in there, but we’ll feel it. There aren’t that many words here because such actions don't take place in our world.
9. S. (28:50) You said before that we are in a time where everything that we are doing is to bring contentment to the Creator but on the other hand it is something we do not understand that it is not convenient to us, why?
R. Because it is against our ego; everything that I want to reveal always comes through effort. Either the effort of my beastly body, it’s still an effort nevertheless, an effort that comes from the force of life in me which is what the Creator created and arranged. The effort of, how to say, When I do it intentionally through a certain arrangement called ‘doing it by exertion’. So what we consider, we only consider the force of our exertion, our labor, because the efforts that come to us from nature, it is not considered effort, nature obligates us, and we do it. We do all kinds of actions in our lives during our lifetime, and these are many actions and many efforts, but we ascribe it to the animate degree, why? Because we do them unconsciously maybe consciously but not through a kind of effort called ‘spiritual’, above the ego. Because I know that if I wake up in the morning and I go to my home; after work I take care of my family and all the things I do in order to maintain my beast. Is this not considered effort? No, it’s not considered because in this work you’re not pulling the Creator into this, hence there is no correction of creation in those efforts, none, none whatsoever. You keep it, you do something but it’s all the animate degree. The ‘speaking’ degree means that you wish to perform actions that are similar to the Creator, and this is why you seemingly replace Him, take His place in creation, we’ll talk about it.
S. But where do I take this motivating force? Because I’m doing something which is basically inconvenient to me, against my nature. So what motivates me to get this thing that is unclear to me?
R. On that it says, “envy, lust, and honor take a person out of this world”, envy, lust, and honor. We have such qualities that do not let us rest, they simply do not let us rest, relax. We have to do them because our will to receive, our ego, feels himself harmed by them. I am harmed and damaged through envy or lust or honor and then I cannot remain indifferent. Rather, I have to perform actions against my nature since according to my nature I would not move, not in my brain, not in my heart, not physically, not at all. I would remain completely still, but, reluctantly, on different levels of these forces awaken me: envy, lust, and honor on the degree of still, vegetative, and animate until I get to the speaking degree. Then I awaken myself in this inhumane form like the whole world but in the spiritual form and we see that corporeally, the whole world is doing it, you can go to the other side of the world and see all kinds of people how they exist, how they, how they sustain their families and their kids, and work and they suffer, they toil and do everything. All of this on the animate degree, the animate degree. Animals do the same except, we as people, as humans, we do it in a more complex way. But when we come to the spiritual level, there, we have to activate ourselves without the need for nature to awaken us to be in the family, to care for kids, and so on and so forth. Meaning nature puts in all these desires and forces and thoughts; rather we have to awaken within us the desires, the forces, the thoughts in order to connect, to build a special structure. Not a family because it comes from nature but a structure of the group where we would connect between us not as a family, naturally. But rather, in a way that we understand that this form is what is closest to us and is necessary for us to reveal the Creator.
10. S. (35:15) It says in the text that “man needs to have a true and complete need for the Creator to help him”. What is the difference between a complete and incomplete need?
R. In the beginning we discover that we want something, we lack something, we have to scrutinize if it is the correct deficiency. After we check it and it is clear to us this is the correct deficiency for our spiritual advancement, we need to see, then, how to carry out that deficiency and then we have to scrutinize more and more how much all these deficiencies come from above. If we do not discover that it’s coming from above, we are not working on the desire correctly; but if I discover that the desire comes from above, I turn to the source of that desire. Then I turn to that same place of the desire, the source of the desire and then I can demand to turn this desire into a means because the desires in me that are revealed are revealed only so that I would reach a certain goal. So I am asking for the scrutiny of the goal, incorporation in the goal and the realization in it, and so on and so forth. Meaning working with the desires that appear in us each and every moment correctly that brings me to the understanding that I have to do this in a group. That if it is not for the group, I will not be able to receive the connection with the upper force to guide me, my desire. Meaning there is a spiritual root, here: the Creator that reveals a desire in me and I need to again turn to the ten that the Creator created and arranged for me and through that I need to ask for another desire, a higher desire that helps me to connect with the ten, and inside the ten to discover the inner force in the ten which is the Creator, and this is how I advance in each and every step. In the revelation of the darkness, a deficiency and then the day, day time, light, connection. This way I discover my ascent from degree to degree.
11. S. (38:13) It is clear that a person has to feel joy and gladness in every moment in bestowal. But apparently I cannot succeed in being happy. So I want to ask what can I do when I feel exhausted and I do not have any deficiency to do any corporeal or spiritual action; the moment I just want to sleep until everything becomes good, what can I do?
R. First of all, the fact that you feel this way is a good thing and you may ask all the friends you see before you and outside of all the screens, everybody in our network, many thousands of them, they too feel, more or less, the same as you. There is no strength, and the goal is not clear; and we don’t show any energy, any desire on the path and all of this because each time we have to overcome and climb from degree to degree until we start to discover the Creator. It doesn’t happen on the first or second degree, it takes a few degrees, and we really need to advance in this way. The way we are in the beginning of our corporeal life when we’re small children, do we understand why we are alive? No, do not we understand what we are doing? Also, no, we are like small animals. I used to hear from families, “look I have a small dog and a baby”, so the dog after a month is already a smart animal. It knows what to do and has its habits, it knows how to play. But a baby, a month old, is nothing. He cannot move by itself, cannot care for itself, nothing, only has a few instincts: to take in the food and expel the food, this is what we see his body can do, nothing else. So if this will continue, from the dog may come as the Baal HaSulam writes, “from the dog may become a new Napoleon”, and the baby even a year from now is still nothing. So, in other words, we cannot look at the process we are going through with such eyes. Rather, reluctantly, we have to believe the Kabbalists and we see this from our lives. It is not for nothing that we are given to see this world when a person even when he advances, as he grows it is a very slow and confused process. Eventually he arises as a human, as a person, he’s the strongest and smartest, and controls and rules over everything in our world. In spirituality it is even more pronounced where we grow in such a way like small kids who understand nothing and develop very slowly compared to animals. Later they become smarter and greater, and they dominate the entire world, this is how it will be. So when we are going through these stages, you feel yourself as zero and nothing and you have nothing and ‘what will happen and what will come out of me’? We’ve heard such complaints already, the important thing is patience, the main thing is patience. It is written, “anything but leave”, meaning to leave the path, no. To continue: sometimes you continue, sometimes you crawl, sometimes you run, sometimes you are carried on a stretcher, other times you help them, you pull the others, and this is how we advance. If you are connected with the society that is nevertheless moving toward the goal, then a few more years and you will come to it. Good luck.
S. How are you finding the power to pray? I am asking you: in each and every state in this disgusting reality, how can you find the power to pray for your students, for humanity?
R. I cannot explain it but when I was next to Rabash and I saw such states that a Kabbalist like him was going through then I cannot be impressed by anything because the higher we rise, the lower we fall, and “he who is greater than his friend his inclination is also greater”, and he falls into the big ego that is revealed; and again he rises and again he falls and this goes on until the end of Correction. So we do not have any choice but to continue because it is all corrections. You are correcting your connection with all the souls, with the entire vessel of Adam HaRishon. So only to continue, close your eyes and keep going.
S. When one has a bigger evil inclination, the Creator is performing a bigger restriction to hold the evil Inside the cage. So actually He is giving that power, He is helping us on the restriction. So what can I do?
R. Of course, it is like that. “What can I do?” Ask, demand, pray. That’s what you need.
S. I am crying like a baby, Rav, day, and night, I am crying like a baby. I was a proud man, I was really a proud, strong, young person but then I am crying day and night for bestowal.
R. Good, Rabash would come to me, put his hand on my shoulder and say, “well, now you are rag like me!” So good luck with that.
12. S. (47:48) What are the things in the world that focus on the fact that the Creator's desire and how does it affect us the ten? About the sentence, “when a person sees that there are things that deny the upper household”. What is the meaning of ‘the upper household’ in the ten?
R. We cannot understand how everything is done by one field called the Creator, and it determines everything except for one parameter, one detail: that we can obligate Him to bring us closer together inside this field. Then to that extent we feel Him, we discover Him to the extent that we want to come closer to one another, that we discover the Creator that is between us, and to that extent He works on us more. We invite this work, obviously, this means that ‘you have made Me’ because the Creator is that force that we invite through our mutual inclination toward each other and then the Creator is revealed more and He builds between us new connection, new form. This is called, “the revelation of the new world”.
13. S. (50:29) Following what you explained, we complement each other in the ten like a puzzle. So how important is it that each friend knows how much he is needed in the ten?
R. Each and every friend is needed in the ten more than the Creator. This is how we need to see the importance and the greatness of the friend as more important than the Creator. Because first, I have to reach this contact, connection with the friend, and only through these connections I can discover the Creator. To the extent that I am connected with the friend I can bring contentment to the Creator. According to the level of connection with the friend, I reveal the spiritual world to everyone, to all of humanity, and I bring them closer and so on and so forth. The closeness between the friends, with the friends, although it’s the most difficult and the most neglected aspect, the most rejected, the most confused aspect, in truth only this is important for us, only this.
14. S. (52:15) We see differently all the corporeal events; we see differently the intention and purpose behind what is happening. Maybe we should not, then, discuss that and only pray or discuss it and reach agreement?
R. We are now in a special state, our world is undergoing great, fundamental essential changes. In sociology, in communication, you can't even imagine such a transformation that exists in our social fabric called humanity. We still cannot grasp what is happening to us, it is not the pandemic that was here for a few years, although it also played its part, but what is happening to us now is very special. We are rising to a new, a different degree of existence and it is not happening, it is not for nothing that it is happening through such critical, acute states so it is worthwhile to talk about it, nevertheless. We need to be together with all of humanity; it is also written in many places that, ‘do not remove yourself from the public’ and ‘a person has to see himself with the public’, as much as possible together with the public and extract deficiencies from there and raise them to the connection between us and the Creator. After all, all of the deficiencies that are revealed in humanity, all the problems and troubles, we have to be incorporated of it. That’s why I am saying this again, Rabash would listen, we would turn on the news once an hour, why the news? Meaning the practical news, not explanations or commentaries by someone, why is that? Because we need to be incorporated of all the deficiencies and bring them to the Creator to complete them; so it is worthwhile for us to do the same, nevertheless. Because we are in such a big world, global vessel, we can be incorporated of all our friends and all the impressions that exist between our friends. We have from the Russian side from the Ukrainian side, and we need to be somehow included of both of these forces, to take these deficiencies, to take these desires, these thoughts and raise them to the Creator so “He who makes Peace in His Heavens will make peace on us”. Meaning complete us and we will come to a state where it is good for everyone. This is the meaning of ‘peace’ Shalom, from the word, Shlemut, wholeness. Although we cannot see how there can be any wholeness between all the people and nations, but the Creator will do it and then we’ll see how much the nations, it’s so clear what is happening, what was happening in history, what’s before us. But nevertheless we see that according to the will to receive of each and every nation we see that it is impossible to fix the connection between them and this connection can be there only when we rise above one nation and another nation to the third side, the middle line. Only there can we come to, until the third writing line comes and decides between them, only the third writing, the middle line, the third line. Although it is incorporated of these two lines, by incorporating the two lines it rises above the two to the Creator, and there, they have the solution that is going to be acceptable by the two.
So let's hope we get to this, and that the world will see that there is a solution, and we can use it. Otherwise the wars would not stop, and we are not looking only at this local conflict, seemingly, but how this conflict can erupt , evolve into a world war. Such things that we did not think how it can be, but it can be. We do not understand how at each passing day, more and more countries are getting into it, seemingly. What is going on between Russia and Ukraine? It is not even between the people, it is between the governments, the government of Russia that wants to determine something relative to Ukraine. But it can deteriorate in a heartbeat into states where they start to use more serious weapons. So we must find the middle line, we must discover how to go in faith above reason; there is the solution. But the solution cannot be otherwise, but only when we rise above the ego on one side and the ego on the other side, and the rise to at degree which is above the two, the middle line.
S. In the beginning of your answer, you said that we have to talk about it when we incorporate in one another. But there are very polarizing views here and there is a danger of separation. How do we avoid this since we cannot connect these views together?
R. We are not going to connect the two, this can never happen. You can only calm things down for a while like in a family. In any situation you can’t make a connection that holds water, that has a continuation. You’re not going to be able to do that. You can only do this by faith above reason which means that they absorb a little bit of the force of bestowal, the force of Bina. This is what we call faith. Then through the power of Bina they will be able to participate, to connect between them. This is the only way.
S. Between the friends perhaps we shouldn’t talk about it. Each one has his own impression and his own deficiency of the state.
R. I think that specifically between the friends we need to discuss this in order to clarify these things and at least between us make it clear what we need to achieve. And we need to achieve a state where between us on a corporeal level on the face of it there is no place between us where we can connect. The place where we can connect has to be above where we are. Where each one rises above himself by making concessions towards the other and thus we reach a state where we connect. But also this doesn’t happen the way we do it here through earthly treaties and agreements in this world, no. Again by faith above reason meaning we have to add this component to humanity. They don’t have that, and they can’t have that. Only from us, from those who study the wisdom of Kabbalah, those who have contact with the upper force. We have to bring them the consciousness, the awareness, the ability, the understanding of connecting with the upper force somewhat, and to that extend rise above the surface where they argue with each other. Above that surface they’ll see that it’s possible. To the extent that you rise above the egoistic surface then you can make a connection, and there they can find their coexistence, their connection which is already spiritual, that it will be the correction of the world. Thus we rise and rise and rise. Each time we discover our ego is greater which means greater feuds, conflicts, and then we try to rise higher. This is why specifically now I am saying that we have great work to do all of Bnei Baruch. We have to see these things correctly. Where is our participation? In bringing from ourselves without even talking to all human beings. We have to bring into the world the understanding, the feeling of the middle line this third line where love covers all crimes. That we don’t just cover everything with love and tomorrow everything falls down again. Rather we have to add the force of bestowal above the forces of reception that appear in us, and it all appears in connection between us and raising the MAN, the prayer from us to the Creator. You will see how it works when we begin to do this work between us and Him in a mutual way. Me for my beloved and my beloved for me, this is how we’ll work. The Creator will keep inciting as against each other again. The situation will become more threatening from day to day. Not like today, not like today but that if we don’t finish the day with the right conclusion then we can easily fall into an atomic war, the kind of level of threat that we will live in. This is only to necessitate us to connect with each other.
S. It turns out that this collaboration, corporation is designed to reveal our inability to connect. Meaning we have to reveal our inability to connect?
R. The world needs to discover that you cannot cause this conflict to end correctly. And that is how it's going to be, it's not going to go away it’s going to calm down for a while. But in truth everything is built in a way that the solution is only in attracting the Creator. The Creator becomes the force that scrutinizes and holds together and keeps responsibility over the peace, as his name is Shalom, wholeness.
S. We do not explain it to people, we just realize it between us?
R. Yes, we need to do it on the side between us, and whatever they do they will do, and we have to work on our corrections.
15. S. (01:06:30) My question is now in the lesson you can feel the unity of the world Kli. A few days ago there was an opposite feeling. The Creator revealed the hate between us, the inability to think logically, we lost it. Our animalistic instincts awakened, and friends are currently involved in this conflict, Russia, and Ukraine, and it turned out that our women part was more connected for this state than our man part. Potentially we could have disconnected from the Rav and gone into an unplanned situation. It took us a few days for Rav to bring us back to one intention, one yearning. But this state has become very serious potentially for us potentially for the world Kli, for Bnei Baruch where in effect the Creator can disconnect Rav. and how will we be ready for such a state?
R. We talked about it a lot. You have been given all the directions how to connect correctly. In the right connection you connect with the Creator and then you can do all actions of corrections required of you. There are not so many words to say here, there's just one thing. If we can connect we can connect with the Creator and then make all of the actions of correction required of us. That’s it. Good luck.
S. There was no translation…
R. You have everything you need so don't complain and don't cry.
16. S. (01:09:59) How do we know the Creator's between us? What is the feeling that needs to give us an indication of that?
R. When the Creator is between us we feel ourselves connected together in a good, beautiful way where everyone is willing to do what is needed to do for the sake of the others.
17. S. (01:10:25) Two short questions, if I may, what does it mean to be connected to the society that I dwell among my people, what does it mean in this time? Let's say about communication there is never any real news only, there is no way to get reliable information. How not to fall into that to be connected to the society?
R. I don't even understand what you're getting confused with. You have your society which is Bnei Baruch, you have your ten, you have your group, you have many other groups. This is your environment. Try to connect with them and through them connect with the Creator, that’s all. What else do you need? You will never get any correct information about what is really happening in the world. Only through the friends as you feel closer to the Creator. That’s what you need. Because through that you come to the source of power that guides and does everything. So what do you need to hear whatever commentators or pundits?
S. It's clear, but just like Rabash who would turn on the news once an hour.
R. Rabash when he would listen to the radio he would only listen to the facts of what happened, and he would avoid all the commentators about how it happened and why it happened. That already comes from people. He just wanted to know what is happening without any additions. That is what I wanted to say.
S. We don't have such information these days.
R. If there's nothing to watch then turn it off.
S. We have disagreements between our beastly part and our spiritual part which are always in adhesion. How to correctly use all kinds of corporal disagreements, beastly disagreements in order not to harm but only to add to the connection?
R. You don't need to awaken lack of understanding, lack of awareness, lack of connection between you. What Creator awakens is sufficient. You do not get anything from awakening the left line. This is still early for us this kind of work. So what is up to us is only to achieve connection as strong as possible and if we achieve this connection to somewhat bring the Creator into that connection and when we attain some point of contact with the Creator and mutual fulfillment then we have to also come to a state where we help our entire Kli and maybe even the entire world to go back to balance.
18. S. (01:14:15) We understand that connection is everything so what is the perfect connection in the ten?
R. When I am ready to do all the spiritual work for the whole ten. This is what I have to feel.
19. S. (01:14:55) The benefit of the rejections is that a person gets a real need for the Creator to help him because otherwise he sees he's lost. The friends from Ukraine already have that need for a complete desire. Why doesn’t the Creator help them?
R. I'm not sure they have the correct desire, I’m not sure about it. If there is the correct desire, the correct need in the ten and they know how to use it, then of course they already have a special connection with the Creator and the Creator helps them.
20. S. (01:15:44) How can we justify Naziism? I'm trying to avoid these things I can’t cover with love but that is just impossible. The Creator’s just throwing this question in our face.
R. We still cannot understand what the right line is. What is the left line and all those arguments? Each one feels that he is right, that he can look with his eyes open at everything that is happening. But to understand the situation truly we have to come to the middle line. Meaning only by connecting with the Creator by revealing even the smallest revelation of the Creator to a person, to that extent a person can understand what the truth is. We have to be in the middle line. We are still under the governance of our own egos, each and every one of us. Although we have in our minds all kinds of theories that we imagine what spirituality is, it is only in our minds not in our hearts, not in our desires. Therefore we have a problem that we still cannot see the truth.
21. S. (01:17:35) What should a person do if he cannot cover the crimes with love? What should he do then?
R. To make an effort to incorporate with the ten, with all the other tens and truly be inside of them. Be incorporated in them like an embryo in his mother's womb, like a baby on his mother’s bosom. In this way try to connect to a stronger and bigger body.
22. S. (01:18:10) What does it mean to clothe in the Creator? If we were playing in it now, what would we be doing?
R. If we now today were incorporated in Him we would feel that one upper force is over us, connects us, governs us, and leads us every single moment toward being more and more connected in all kinds of ways that He would reveal in us. On one hand He would reveal in us forces that push us away from one another, create conflicts, and on the other hand He would give us the understanding, the feeling how we can be connected among us. And then we, out of the lack of connection we would turn to Him and ask for correction. In the connection between us we would discover Him more and more and more out of every single state, and this way we would shift from every state. This is called climbing the degrees. This is how we would advance.
S. You described the place that you can find a way in that place but what does it mean I am acting in the ten? What should I act towards my friends?
R. I am not sure exactly what she means but I need in every single state to show my friends wholeness, adhesion, confidence, confidence. And in this way advance toward more connection between us, revealing the embrace between us even when we are in some sort of a mutual misunderstanding.
23. S. (01:20:18) even though we know that connection will bring us to the purpose of creation why is it so hard to remember and ask for it?
R. Because we cannot overcome it. We can't. What can you do? This is our problem.
24. S. (01:20:47) In this conflict between Ukraine and Russia can the forces working in the system influence different parts of nature like the still, vegetative, and animate? How can we balance such forces of nature that the next state won't be worse than this current state? What should we do at this point onward?
R. We need to understand that indeed this conflict is a very deep conflict. It’s not a conflict between nations, it stems from a special point in the vessel of Adam HaRishon. It’s one of the foundations of the world Kli. It is a very sensitive point in our civilization in general. We see how central it is and how it influences everyone. What we need to do is only increase the importance of complementation, of peace, of connection between us, and it all depends on the prayer. There is no one to blame here more than the other or to blame at all, everyone is involved here. If we don’t raise our deficiencies to the Creator, that we want to be more connected, not that He will pacify the war, this is incorrect. We don’t pray that he would pacify, that He would calm the war but that he would connect our hearts. This is what we need to ask, to connect our hearts. To calm the powers of war is not a problem, this is what we need to do. Let's hope we can do this. The situation is very difficult, dangerous. We see that there is a very big problem here. These two forces have been revealed and when these two forces are revealed as conflicting we can’t cover it, we can’t blur it. It's the nature of two nations that are in collision, and we need to understand that here on the corporeal human level we cannot solve it. Only He who makes peace above in His heaven can make peace on us. Only to turn to the Creator, in Him there is a solution, and the real solution can only be when the Creator comes closer to everyone.
25. S. (01:24:30) What is the difference between ascribing to mutual connection or equality in the ten?
R. I didn't quite understand what you meant.
26. S. (01:24:49) How to come closer to spirituality in the ten and not just a corporeal closeness?
R. We have to constantly demand internal connection among us in our hearts. Otherwise we don’t achieve peace, even in our corporeal life we won’t be able to achieve anything. We might end up in such states that today, tomorrow, the whole world might suddenly find itself like those people in Ukraine who are fleeing from collapsing houses and don’t know where to go with their children. They are without any food, any water, any medications and with children on their hands and nowhere to run. Nowhere to run. God forbid but we could see that situation happening all over the world, all over the world. We do not even need an atom bomb. If this new Chernobyl goes off the reactor it is 6 times more powerful than Chernobyl, 6 times more. Do you understand? It might cover all of Europe and the Middle East and in general. So it doesn’t take much. It all depends really on the upper force. We have to understand that each one could make the slightest mistake. In Ukraine you have several more reactors like that. We are in a very precarious situation.
27. S. (01:27:14) How to take advantage of every moment in life for the Creator?
R. Relate or attribute all the moments we have in life to the Creator.
28. S. (01:27:32) Last is not a question but a wish from the women of New York. They’re thanking you for your work and for balancing the different opinions that we all depend on. So thank you.
R. Thank you and I hope that with the help of our women especially, men too but mainly thanks to the women we will be able to be saved from these blows that are facing us. Meaning to shift ourselves, to lead ourselves to the end of correction in a good and short way instead of a long way filled with torment. It depends on you women so please pray more, ask more, search more for connection and also help the man connect more.
Excerpt #28 Zohar (01:31:41)
29. R. (01:33:01) Very powerful words. Look what he writes. It is a law that the creature cannot receive disclosed evil from the Creator, can’t. Where it is a flaw in the glory of the Creator for the creature to perceive him as an evildoer. For this is unbecoming of the complete operator. Hence when one feels bad, denial of the Creator's guidance lies upon him, and the superior operator is concealed from him to that same extent, and this is the Creator's punishment in the world. There is no greater punishment than that when the Creator disappears from a person. Thus the sensation of good and evil in relation to His guidance brings with it the sensation of reward and punishment. For one who exerts not to part from faith in the Creator is rewarded even when he tastes a bad taste in providence and if he does not exert to feel the Creator in everything he will have a punishment; because he is separated from faith in the Creator and the Creator disappears from his world.
30. S. (01:34:27) Hatred is awakened from the resistance but it is not unfounded hatred. There is a reason and it’s clear.
R. It’s because you don’t understand where it came from. You have to overcome the hatred in whatever it is, and if you can't, and it’s good if you can't, then you need to turn to the Creator and ask Him to help you rise above the hatred. Because he awakens the hatred by increasing the will to receive more and more in each one and we in order to rise above this will to receive from degree to degree, we have to constantly turn to Him every time and ask Him to help us rise above the will to receive. Always instead of hate, bring love.
31. S. (01:35:37) What does it mean to pray together? Because we're praying in the evening, we have a mutual prayer but then we separate. So how can we make that mutual prayer to be constant also when we are not together?
R. We have to be connected in our hearts. It’s enough for us to connect some short time every day, ideally every day. We should be connected to each other in order to equalize ourselves. The rest of the time we act as if we are together in that same connection. This is our work, not to leave the connection with the friends, not to exit it even for a moment. Because to that extent you are already not directed toward the Creator.
32. S. (01:37:03) You said that the Creator leaves a person, let’s go or is concealed of a person?
R. A person doesn’t feel the Creator, that He’s directing him and He's in him. A person doesn’t feel that there is a Creator in the world. It’s because the Creator moved away. Now the question is what is the reason for the Creator moving away from a person? Is it because the Creator wants the person to take another step toward the Creator and in this way come closer and closer and closer to the Creator? Or the Creator disappeared from a person not because the Creator created a person's moving away from Him, but the person slighted the connection with the Creator and therefore caused his departure from the Creator. Here the question is who is the cause? If the Creator is the cause then in everything the Creator hits or beats by this He heals, it’s in order to draw the person after Him. But if the person creates the distance, if he forgets or slights the connection that’s a problem. Because a person then has to overcome what he did and also truly come closer. Okay?
33. S. (01:38:48) We see how there are all kinds of Ministers or Prime Ministers that have a lot of weight in society. On the other hand a nation that is very developed don’t have an ability to stop this craziness. What is happening with people? What are these forces? Is it forces of the ten?
R. All those people in all those forces have no force, have no power, nothing. Even if millions or billions of people connect they have no real power. Only those who unite have real power. Even if they unite in the bad way they still have powers. If they unite in a good way they have more power because they have the power of the Creator among them. This is how we have to see humanity. So we need only try to connect among us in the good force and draw into our good force the power of the Creator. Then we’ll be able to direct the Creator to operate the way we ask of Him. It is like a little child pulling the grown up to come over and help him do something. This is what we need to do with the Creator, and He expects it.
34. S. (01:40:38) What does it mean that it’s considered a blasphemy if he receives the evil from the Creator?
R. If he thinks that he is getting something bad from the Creator that’s heresy, that’s denial, it’s a lie. Because nothing bad can come from the Creator. But what he thinks is bad because he feels the bestowal of the Creator toward him as it passes through his ego, this is why he feels it as bad. But in truth, in reality it is all for his sake.
35. S. (01:41:28) Since we started this new movement it seems that there is something that we never had in our organization. The women are leading. Yesterday more than 1,600 women met for that mutual Zoom and men had about six hundred to six hundred and twenty in attendance. That’s about quantity but also the attitude towards it. Is something new happening because it’s more internal more sensitive? Why is this happening?
R. First of all I'm very happy that it’s like that because it’s written, by the merit of righteous women the children of Israel are delivered from Egypt, and the children of Israel are us. We who are directed toward the Creator, we are Yashar El, straight to the Creator. We are the ones who want to emerge from the governance of our egos. In Egypt the whole of our will to receive that we are in and Pharoah dictates to us what we should do egotistically. So we hope to emerge from the governance of Pharaoh and that can be only on the condition that we grow stronger, and precisely with the women more than with the men. This is why I'm happy that there were almost three times as many women as men. But let’s hope that the women too will grow and not stay passive. So let's hope we grow. Good for the women, and there is also women's day approaching. So I wish you all the best and first and foremost spiritual success.
S. Is there a reason that specifically in this event they're leading? It was never really like this.
R. Yes. The reason is that we are approaching great corrections. This is why the feminine power is leading, and they are stronger and have greater need and are more organized, and I’m very happy that we have it. Because without this power we can’t do anything. The women are the foundation of the world, we can't help it. We have to support them in every way and not stop them, God forbid. Sometimes I see men that seem to slight or don't appreciate women. They don't give them enough power or support to operate.
36. S. (01:44:25) Baal HaSulam says that he who makes efforts to not part from the faith in the Creator even if he feels bad he receives a reward. So what is the reward and what is this effort?
R. This effort brings him to the revelation of the Creator.
S. The reward?
R. The revelation of the Creator. Even here he writes that when the Creator is hidden it’s the greatest punishment in the world.
S. Yesterday I had a great happiness. Suddenly we saw Israel participating in connecting the two powers. So how do you see that? Is that something positive that happened? Bennett with Putin?
R. I didn't see it, I don't know about it.
S. The whole world is talking about it.
R. The whole world can talk.
S. Is there a role for Israel in this whole story?
R. That is the problem. Israel has a role in everything especially in these things. You see how we are suddenly pulled into the middle of everything that is happening. So how are we involved in this? We are because it's a group, it really is a mutual group that was created with the intention to correct the world. It came from Babylon. Thirty-five hundred years ago no such thing existed as Israel. There was no nation there was no group. There was Egypt there was Syria, Libya and whatever you want already existed. We’re not an ancient people, we are a relatively very new people that 3500 years ago did not exist as a group as a nation. There was simply no such a thing. Suddenly we see that yes, this group started when humanity rose to a certain level of development that required the existence of a group that’s basically made out of all the nations that were in Babylon. That was the origin of all of humanity at that time. So at that time a group emerged out of this mess, out of this Babylonia. And that group said development should be only through connection and as internal as possible among everyone. And that group started to exist. So of course this group which came from Babylon and in the meantime all of Babylon dispersed but this group nevertheless maintained itself. So today whatever happens it is on the sites of all the nations and the whole world. It is obliged, it must do its vocation, must carry out its vocation. It’s not something historic it’s an internal force in all of humanity. We have nowhere to run. We have to cause connection among all the nations and peoples in order to bring contentment to the Creator. This is our addition. But we have to cause connection so whether you want to or not you will always be in the middle among everyone, even if you are nothing. On the corporal worldly sense everyone has contempt for you. You will still be among all the nations so as to in the end bring connection among everyone.
S. I feel that personally. I feel the prayers are helping and really advancing us. It's unbelievable how the Creator also answers. That’s the feeling. A lot of friends are saying that they feel we are advancing, that Israel is participating.
R. A prayer advances us a great deal. Besides prayer I can’t say that anything pushes us forward. We have to connect among us several times a day and ask for corrections. Ask for connection. This is basically our entire prayer.
37. S. (01:49:42) We cannot say that there are people that don't see there’s a war but there is a wide range of feelings, all kinds of feelings. So, how can you ascribe all the feelings to the Creator specifically?
R. In this whole war, in all these problems we have to divide them into two. First of all, the reason is that we are not asking for connection. We, those who have some understanding who hear that connection is the main thing. We have to demand connection among everyone, Russians, Ukrainians, you name it. Demand connection not by turning to those peoples and asking or demanding or forcing them to connect. This is impossible, it will not happen. Rather we turn to the Creator and ask Him who makes peace in his heavens to make peace on us. Peace comes from the word complementation, complete. He should make us connected, well, among everyone. This is what we need to do. It doesn't matter for us who is to blame and who is not to blame. The Creator is creating conflicts between us so we will ask of Him to connect us, and by this we approach Him. Just listen to what is happening. In order for you to want to be close to Him He awakens in you all kinds of problems, up to the point of disasters. So you just have to recognize that all the problems and disasters, wars, deaths, hunger, everything is only because the Creator awakens us to turn to Him. Not just with outcries, requests, and curses, but only in order to connect us. Love will cover all crimes. This is what we need. So we hear about battles, troubles, problems, mutual hatred, how each of the sides takes pride in how many people they killed from the other side. We have to ask for connection above everything, connection above everything. Not that one will rule over the other. Connection above everything means that the power of connection governs and manages all of reality and the power of connection is the Creator.
S. One person feels fear and turns to the Creator. Another person is totally indifferent, and he seems to have no connection to it.
R. We are not speaking about corporeal impulses that push us to turn to the Creator, one from fear, one from hunger, from blows, problems, all kind of things. We turn to the Creator and ask him to complete us, to correct between us, because that's how He reveals himself. We want His revelation. To the Creator is called Shalem, Shalom, wholeness, peace. It’s one of his seventy names. That's why that name is what we want to be revealed in all created beings, the name of the whole Creator of the peace. That's what we are asking for. Not that someone will win or not, that we are expecting there won't be hunger or blows or bombs and so on. We are asking the Creator to be revealed because that is what we want. The rest are just reasons that awaken us to ask for it. But we want along with that to be above these reasons.
S. So why is there revealing of reward and punishment as he writes here?
R. Yes, reward, and punishment. It depends on which reward and which punishment. You always exchange them from one degree to the next. That's it.
