The ways of the Lord are straight - Selected Excerpts from the Sources

1. Rav’s Introduction (0:27) The ways of the Lord are straight. In order to advance on the path as straight as possible to the corrected state of each one that is prepared, we need directions, we need scrutinies, we need that there will be the drawing force, the force of repulsion, he has to push from the back and from the front, the pulling from the side. That we are like in this space and so we need directions, scrutinies. In order to explain to us how they do so Kabbalists wrote to us all sorts of advice. Let us read.

Reading Excerpt 1 (01:30): “The ways of the Lord are straight…”

2. R. (01:46) Each thing in spirituality is incorporated from all the discernments and thus in each and every one of us there is the aspect of the righteous and of the wicked and all the descendants, to bring them to the path of the righteous so they will be straight towards the Creator, towards the purpose of correction. Those discernment of ours that participate in this they are called straight, righteous, and those that are still incapable of being corrected currently they will be going through these checks and they will be called criminals and so thus each time we will sort and arrange within us, from all our qualities, we arrange them, which are righteous and which are criminal. Thus to begin with it is not clear where we are from but by the Creator placing before us all sorts of conditions and tests we can arrange, sort our qualities and divide them into righteous and criminals, wrongdoers and thus we correct ourselves more and more until we reach the whole correction.

Excerpt 2 (03:29): “For the ways of the Lord…” Twice

3. S. (06:07) Both the righteous and the wicked they are still in vessels of reception but the wicked are those that still didn't decide that they need to go on to vessels of bestowal and the righteous, although they are still not in vessels of bestowal but that they want to go on to that. That is how it is. Read what is in the parentheses: “wicked should be interpreted as those whose heart is still not set on obtaining vessels of bestowal and righteous means those whose heart is already set on obtaining vessels of bestowal but are as yet unable; meaning, according to their decision and not according to the state that they are already in.

4. S. (07:14) What you are explaining right now I have a question. It is not enough to make the decision that from this point onward I want to pursue the vessels of bestowal but the decision needs to be made in the heart. What else do I need to add?

R. A person decides that he is going to be righteous, meaning that he is going to bestow to everyone as much as possible, to bring everyone closer to bestowal as much as possible, as much as he can and then according to his intention he is already called righteous.

S. Just Baal HaSulam, in the first and second article, it is written that the righteous are those that walk on the straight path of the Creator and the transgressors are constantly falling and even if I want to be the righteous, I still walk as a transgressor.

R. It is not important. It is not important that you fall and get up. A thousand times the righteous will fall and get up but your intention, your direction, is entirely that after you fall and you do not know, you get up and do not despair and continue on the path and nonetheless you continue on the same path. Do you understand? Do not think that the righteous are someone who is traveling inside a car or wagon and reaches the purpose of life directly; rather, he simply, constantly makes an effort all the time to straighten himself with the Creator and thus it is called a thousand times the righteous will fall and get up again.

He falls all the time, he is all the time looking for how to get up again, in what direction and that is how he's on the path. Thus it is called straight are the ways of the Creator. Straight is called that you are constantly checking yourself and aiming yourself directly to the Creator each time, from each fall, all sort of disappointment and confusions. Thus it is written: “many troubles for the righteous and from all of them the Creator saves him”. Meaning, those who want to get closer to the Creator, he’s called righteous, that he wants to justify the Creator in all of creation. He has many troubles, disturbances and he is always in worries and by this he scrutinizes all of the generalities, all the disturbances that he has along the path and by that he corrects everything and advances.

5. S. (10:49) What is a person that feels the Creator is really sitting on him and doesn't allow him to, in short, he is feeling his desire to receive, what does he need to do? Turn to the friends or turn to the Creator?

R. One does not belong to the other. I need to turn to the friends in order to receive strengthening from them because I am weak now, I'm in a fall and with the friends I need to activate the prayer, the request, the demand to the Creator to strengthen the connection between me and the friends. To show the Creator that I want this but that I am incapable. I demand his assistance and after he brings me closer to the friends, then I begin to feel more where I am and already make an effort to reveal the Creator in the connection between us. So first of all I worry for the vessel, for the Kli, in my connection with the friends and afterwards for the Creator that he will be revealed in this connection as light, as the filling, as correcting us and thus like this each time from connection between the friends to the Creator and in this I'm closing the circuit.

S. Is this address to the friends and then together to the Creator does it need to come from a state where there is no strength at all, that he feels that in short there is no strength?

R. There is no power, no force, that is very nice. That is good, it means you must request from the society, from the Creator that you will have forces. The worst thing is the state of apathy. That you do not want anything, that you're not missing anything, that you don’t feel a lack in this and then you sit and do not do anything, as if there is nothing to do. You feel that it is not in your power to do anything.

S. I will say that the state of helplessness has increased, specifically after our afternoon lessons. I started, and I am not sure why, I cannot explain it, I feel like I'm in a constant congress, constant chasing after everyone and I am not able to bridge the gap.

R. First of all that is a good sensation and correct and the best thing is that we operate from lack of time. It is written about that. That we are all the time lacking, lacking and it’s better than sitting and doing nothing as if we have time and nothing to do. So continue like that. All these lessons that we began let us say 2 weeks ago, they are very important and I recommend going over them more and more.

S. Can a prayer to the Creator come out before a person feels that he has completed 100% of the efforts that he is capable of?

R. Again.

S. Does a person need to feel that he has completed 100% of the efforts that he is capable of otherwise he can't raise a prayer?

R. Let’s say.

S. But you never are at the feeling where you completed 100% of the effort, you always feel that you could do more.

R. Good and that stops you from requesting?

S. Yes, let's say I miss an afternoon lesson so without making more effort to be in the afternoon lesson, I feel like I don't have the strength to do the full 100%.

R. Like you're saying, you're not in the afternoon lesson but you can hear it later but to miss it entirely, not to hear it, that is not good. It will be missing for you, you will miss it.

S. This is just an example: the question is can a true prayer come out if you still feel like you could do more yourself?

R. That depends on how much sorrow you have over this that you weren't there, that you didn't connect, that you didn't tie yourself to it. That all depends on the extent of sorrow, suffering or let us say the extent of the lack, deficiency. That is how we need to see the matters.

S. Should I be getting used to a certain automatic address to the Creator, yes I did or no I didn't?

R. That is not important, not important. You have a lack in your heart, you don't have a lack in your heart, put an alarm clock on. The main thing is to all the time be in adhesion, in tendency towards the Creator.

6. S. (17:24) In the beginning you said that the transgressors are those desires that we are unable to correct. What are these desires that we cannot correct?

R. I feel that I cannot correct them. Look at what he writes: “Wicked are those, meaning under the control of the vessels of bestowal, they must fall and crouch under their load when they come to that state. People understand that they are still weak and if some state will come to them as there was, that they will once again be under the control of the ego and once again they are called wicked.

Meaning that wicked here are people that understand how weak they are, how much they are incapable to stand up against their ego, how much they can be manipulated in every direction and thus they themselves call themselves wicked. That the will to receive can control them and manipulate them in every direction. Rather he writes, the righteous, those that are in a state of bestowal that are elevated by this that we are brought to all sorts of failures and requested forces and participate, let's say in lessons.

All sorts of other means, the main thing is our lessons, the first part of the lesson. The morning lesson and the afternoon last. So whoever was privileged by this, and were imparted with vessels of bestowal, they are called righteous but those and those are the same human beings just before corrections and after correction and also after he determines, that he sees that he is wicked, that doesn’t mean that he remains wicked, rather today in the meantime his state is like this and then later on he will come all sorts of new phenomena and he will be able to request correction and overcome the wicked in him and he will be able to receive some illumination and he will be able to be righteous.

First of all righteous in that he justifies what the Creator does to him, that the Creator incerts a person into all sorts of failures, problems, disappointments, transgressions and the person, at the time that he does this, that he is in it, he feels that the Creator is doing this to him and he cannot request, he cannot exit the state and therefore he calls himself wicked. Afterwards he receives assistance and he sees that he can put up with the same states that he couldn’t put up with before and then it is called that he raised himself to the degree of the righteous. What is the difference between the wicked and the righteous? That he justifies the Creator, that did such states to him. That he brought him to the state of wicked and to the state of righteous.

7. S. (21:41) To pray to the Creator that he will correct our heart, is that part of the righteous?

R. Yes. Of course. That is already an advanced degree. From the wicked that wants to turn into the righteous.

S. Why are there states in which we fall and we do not ask and we try to continue without the help of the Creator?

R. First there are many states where we want to exit our state, but on our own. There isn't in us, yet, the push, the urge to turn to the Creator, we still do not feel the sufficient connection with Him in such a manner that we will request from Him. We still do not have the force of connection with the Creator, that we feel that we are dependent on Him and we must return to Him and only from Him can we receive assistance and that is the problem, we need to work on this.

That is it. There is no state that can be solved all at once; rather, we always need to be in it and connect from it to the Creator, to see how much we do not want to connect with the friends and to also see that we do not want, or yes, we want. Each time we need to go over all of those same states that we are in, a person with the group and with a Creator and how he scrutinizes everything and cooks everything until he reaches in sum total the force of intensity of connection with the Creator and the Creator corrects this connection.

8. S. (24:07) Practically how now in this very given moment, how can we choose in one of these paths to be a righteous or a transgressor?

R. The most correct is that you are aimed at the Creator and you want to reveal Him as the same root, cause, that brings to you each and every state in your life. This comes from above to below, and this is how you want to determine that you are tied to the Creator and He from above below brings down to you each and every state that you are in.

Now, what is dependent on you, that you from your part begin to awaken towards Him? You request from Him that He will show you how to correctly connect with the friends in order that you will reveal,I would even say in a center of the connection with them, they will reveal Him the Creator and how you can bestow to Him, connect to Him, through the group, that the group will direct you, will aim you; it will be as a vessel from which you grasp the Creator and always aim to adhesion with Him.

S. It is written in the second excerpt something very interesting that: the righteous are those whose hearts are already set to attain the vessels of bestowal but are unable to.

R. Yes, because we are talking about people who have not yet attained the correct states but are yearning to reach them.

9. S. (26:33) When there are difficult states it is simple to pray to the Creator but in the heart it's not as easy to reach a big sorrow where you are able to justify the Creator As The Good Who Does Good. The question is is it even possible at this degree to justify the Creator?

R. You cannot, but in the next degrees the next states, yes.

10. S. (27:22) Is the righteous always sad because he falls or in joy because the Creator elevates him?

R. Yes. That is correct. That's correct.

11. S. (27:50) What does it mean that it has been set in the heart of a person that he needs to bestow?

R. If we won't reach vessels of bestowal we will suffer each time and we will simply not be able to continue to exist really. Vessels of bestowal are what saves us, what raises us above the vessels of reception. Really to feel only vessels of reception, we will feel death. Thus the Creator awakens in us again and again with a bit of lights from the vessels of bestowal and against this we see the lack of light, vessels of reception, even though we are not aware of this but we feel how much more and more we are in the dark world.

There is ahead of us, a period in the whole earth that we will begin to feel how much we are with everything that we have attained in technological development, scientific development, we are going to see how much we are suffering and it is all from a lack of connection between human beings. There will be blows of cold and heat, famine and what not and all from lack of connection between human beings. We will soon need to feel that the whole world, everyone, doesn't matter where you live. Then, we will be able to understand that the connection between us, it is not that it brings us water crops and all sorts of things that we are lacking but rather we will feel through the connection between us, we are inviting a blessing, we are inviting the upper force that He blesses us, connects us, advances us to good; He brings us abundance from above. And this in the shorter term will begin to feel that.

12. S. (30:44) How is it possible to be in such yearning all the time? How can you describe a person that is constantly in this?

R. we are simply need to understand that “a person will not live only on his bread”, meaning that we are all dependent on one force that encompasses us, surrounds us, hold us, maintains us, and this that we are feeling suddenly we are lacking sun, water, crops, agriculture, all sorts of things and the whole world suddenly with pandemics and all sorts of troubles that all results from a coming closer to the force of good and distant from the force of bad. And we need to grasp this. How do we get closer to good and distance from the bad?

Only that we do it within ourselves that we get closer to the good, that we understand what is the good, and distance ourselves from the bad and thus by this we will manipulate ourselves, turn ourselves around more towards connection, more towards support truly around the whole globe, then we will begin to feel in such a manner how we can manage like with a steering wheel in a car that we will be able to manage our life. And it will be clear soon to many people: That now the Earth is becoming smaller, we are feeling the connection between us more and more, that we are dependent on each other and tighter. And that is how it will be.

S. To continue from what you said, through the connection we will feel the blessings: Will this connection be as a result of the upper force or will it be through our efforts?

R. I don't think there really can be any connection that is driven by us, maybe we can sweeten something in some manner, but the main thing is that it comes from above. I wouldn't say by blows but rather by revelations of the lack and efficiencies in the connections between us.

Because in total what the Upper Providence wants to reveal is how much we are not connected sufficiently between us in order that the upper light can be revealed between us, the upper force, the Creator. The Creator is the result of the connection between us. As much as we are connected between us then the Creator is revealed more, that is it. That's why the Creator is called ‘come and see’, by connecting between us, by coming closer between us we are building Him just like He says “you have made me” and if we do not connect it’s as if there is no Creator, there's no one to turn to. We need to make an effort to connect and make an effort to reveal the connection between us. This mutual force of ours, that will be the Creator. We turn to Him.

S. To simplify a bit let's say, God forbid, there is a famine, countries will need to work more together and the efforts to work together will draw the blessing?

R. Yes, surely. But do not think it won't be so easy and It will go smoothly. You will see how many countries will not want to go along with it and they will raise prices and even burn their crops and so on, you'll see. We are entering actions of Nature, Elokim in Gematria is Nature: When you see actions that are very direct and aimed in a certain direction and we will need to understand Him and stand opposite of Him, that He demands correct behavior from us so we must stand in front of Him and respond.

S. As you said Bnei Baruch, our capabilities are only in sweetening?

R. We need to manage this entire process. We need to manage the whole path of correction. Not just to be passive present in it. We can manage more the left, more the right, connection between them, to explain to everyone what we are doing. We are really like a captain who is standing on a ship and he is yelling to the shipmates what to do in every moment, that is how we need to explain to all of humanity: Where we are? and by what we can be saved from the blows and come closer to safe shores that are calm and good for everyone.

13. S. (37:13) If I can continue to ask about it, if someone looks at the forecast and what people are saying right now a lot of things that are being said like poisonous rain and…?

R. What is so interesting is that there’s no justification for this, It is simply happening. There is no reason, no cause, seemingly. That is why we need to take this development and ask what is the reason? The reason is us, human beings, that they are in the lack of balance and thus we lack balance also in nature, in still, vegetate and animate.

S. Exactly in this context I want to ask: How do you see this perception that all we have to do is change our relation between us and towards nature? How will it happen in the world? Can you give us a little bit more detail on that?

R. You do not think it will bring us so much to war. I think we will go through it rather more correctly and good because there is nobody here really to blame, rather everyone is at fault, all of humanity you could say. But you could say that maybe these nations are more at fault and these are less but of course surely everyone here is in lack of balance, and is causing lack of balance to all of humanity and all of nature. The main thing is that we will understand it.

Understand the lack of balance that we have reached is from the side of nature we are becoming more connected and we are seeing how it is happening, the connection between the countries and Nations not just in development and such things but rather we are coming really closer to one another but along with this, how we are not connected correctly? We need nonetheless to be connected by business, markets, but it's not really for our benefits because all that comes from intentions to benefit, by competition, it does not add to us a connection for our world, it only adds more revelation of the separation and we don’t grasp this. We say look at the whole world, we are in business with one another and we understand things more this way, no no. It is bringing us only more separation and the attainment of more separation and thus we need to explain to ourselves that connection between us must be revealed.

The connection between us is first of all in minds and feelings, that we are all tied and dependent on one another; that there is no person in the world that is absolved from the good connection with all the people in the world. And our future is entirely dependent on the extent that we are aware of the good connection between us that will arrange everything for us and nothing else. The strongest weaponry is the desire of man because it is at the height of the Creator, the desire: If we want to be connected, want to be balanced, want to be as one that we will feel the mutual dependency then of course everything will work out. Everything will work out.

S. If you are explaining that this entire framework was built of international business and trades, you think it is all the result of exploitation and not something good, we are connecting through this but in a negative way?

R. Maybe. But it seems to me that it is not quite like a mercantile relation, It feels like a completely different relation; a connection that we need to feel everyone and everyone has to feel connected with everyone, that all of us together are as one Humanity one desire, one Kli searching for the single Root, to the extent that we are striving towards Him everything is getting balanced and coming together in a good way to us, and nothing is missing.

S. Every person needs to feel the whole world and begin to feel that he’s the world and the world is his?

R. Yes, he needs to feel that. And we are prepared for it. We are ready for it. I will tell you that people that are in the world, even in the most rural or wherever they are, all, are prepared and ready to accept this idea that we all depend on one another. I feel that it is enough for us the blows that we are receiving and feeling now and everyone is able to feel that he is relying on something that only Nature can help him with.

S. Really it is not so far from the heart and mind of the person today?

R. Not far. Through the stomach, through the heart, through the kids, through all sorts of things that are close to a person you can very fast reach a state that a person understands that he is obligated to be connected with others to save himself and what is near and dear to him.

Excerpt 3 (44:31) “For the ways of the Lord are straight . . .”

14. R. (46:11) Who is the criminal here? Rabash tells us whoever isn’t asking clearly from the Creator that he needs help. He cleaves himself only to the Creator, and in that he is called a criminal. 

Continues 3 (46:30) The righteous does not despair . . .”

15. R. (47:31) This is precisely the same point where we are able to receive the vessels of bestowal. Yes, we are able to enter spirituality precisely, precisely here. Please read again.

Excerpt 3 (47:45) Again

16. R. (50:26) The Torah is also called the entire system through which we correct ourselves, which is called a gift, and this is how we advance.

17. S. (50:43) This prayer, is it in a conscious manner that a person scrutinizes this descent to reach that?

R. Maybe yes, and maybe no. It is possible that, even if he does not feel and doesn't quite need the help and isn't quite sure who to turn to and what's ask for, if you connect to the friends in this way as we see in many cases in our life, if we are arranged in such a way that we follow others, and by joining others we also are included and receive what we are due. In many cases, in many situations in life, we are not sure what to do but we do however what others are doing, and this is because we aren't managing life. And this is how we are, we are turned, we look at others and we do as they do, okay?

18. S. (52:17) Everything you said is for us to attain the intention to bestow to the Creator, we have to come to the fear of not being able to bestow to the Creator. What feeling will affect us the most and how will we…

R. No, no, it does not matter for us if we have enough fear to give to the Creator, first of all we need to try to tie yourselves from our end to him at least egotistically, we have to receive help knowledge, explanation, who are we, where are we why and so on. That is why first of all we have to develop ties, connection, at least egotistically, this is what we need and I am talking about not to be confused with the connections that are developed and humanity where they pray and other traditions. This is our first grasp of the Creator, so let it be so.

19. S. (54:12) How can we find the power to accept each pain that comes from the Creator as medicine, as love?

R. Repeat.

S. How can we find inner forces to receive every pain and trouble which comes from the Creator, as medicine, as a help.

R. We have to understand that this is how it is. Tell me, you see that all of our medicines aren't tasty, except the ones you give children with certain sweet things, but medicine itself is not sweet. When you hear explanations from the experts. who explain that all medicine is a sort of poison, just in small doses so, it heals us in that way, that we are all a desire to receive which is the biggest poison and if you add a small certain poison over the larger poison than a little bit you correct it. You align it, adjust towards the correct form. This is all of our healing. Meaning all of the cure is in the evil by a certain evil, by certain evil you correct the larger evil. and then it continues to function properly. What is your question?

S. I don't know, I just remembered your example when you were in the hospital, when you are in so much pain and you just get up and walk to surgery by being a volunteer, so here, how can we be a volunteer to correct and accept all the pain?

R. We have to ask of the Creator to do upon us whatever is necessary, whatever is necessary. We are in a group and we are all asking, it doesn't have to be that we are like kids in kindergarten sitting around the circle holding hands and we are all asking something similar for one another, we ask for the Creator to connect us, in a way that we are able to bestow to one another and to feel how much we are connected to one another, and day by day, for this feeling to grow and for me to feel, day by day, how I really disappear within the friends. And entirely I enter them and disappear there, just disappear. You connect with them so much, I do not feel a difference between myself and them, and to that point I want to come, if I come to that point, there I feel the Creator. This is where I need help. Connection connection.

S. It seems to be like freedom because,if I melt inside the friends and come out of my own sensation of pain and pleasure, I am free right?

R. Yes, but I'm not asking to become free egotistically. I am free because I get rid of the ego and I serve them as much as they need me and I ask only of their desire, this is called to be free.

20. S. (59:01) The point of determination, we need to attain it more than once right? In every descent we need to reach this point?

R. Every step, instead we have to acquire these points back.

21. S. (59:29) Where we completely surrender and accept everything that the Creator gives us, what do we pray for? How do we pray? What do we do in those stages? To be dissolved in the friends?

R. Yes, and then, as we are inside friends, we begin to feel the spiritual vessel and it is no longer me, rather it Ten Sefirot, that are able to be filled with the a light, and in such a way we begin to work with the Creator, to the degree that we are together, all of us begin to identify with him, we from the side of the vessel, and him from the side of the light, and as much as we are able to be dependent, connected, supporting one another, in the Partzuf of 10 Sefirot, in the reception of the light in order to bestow, everything is expressed in the Partzuf, us towards the Creator and the Creator towards us, and in the Partzuf we meet and fulfill one another in the direct and returning light.

S. We completely dissolve in the Ten?

R. In a certain way, but no no end smallest degree until more and more. Yes it is a dynamic process.

22. S. (01:01:34) What can I do when I feel that I am above my friends?

R. Love the friends and there is no question here. If you are about the friends then you understand more how you can help them, all of them. To reach a higher degree you need a connection with everyone. You cannot be higher by yourself. You must understand that you need to connect to them to pull them up words towards the degree that you are on, and once they are on a higher degree you connect together and receive the revelation of the Creator and a much more advanced form. Let us go. If you are leading.

S. Let me explain to you one thing, I don't feel myself as higher. It is just that the ego was telling me that the only thing I want to ask is what can I do, what can I do? Because I feel that this is what I'm struggling with. Do you understand what I mean?

R. Yes, that I understand well. These things I understand well, how the ego works on us. What to do? You need to ask, to pray. There is nothing you can do other than asking up a Creator to help you see yourself that you are really the lowest of all the smallest of all, depending on all, this is the true state Kabbalah start telling us about to the degrees that they rise on the level of attainment of the Creator they feel themselves, also students, friends. towards everybody. They feel themselves as lowly, a zero. Like Rabash writes, constantly depick to themselves that they are a zero towards others, but only in the group.

S. Where is that zero?

R . The zero is you. That you asked of the Creator that He helps you to see your true state.

23. S. (01:04:46) We said earlier that we need to go from a state of being passive and just observing to a state of being active and passage from being wicked to righteous.

R. Continue to turn to the Creator all the time. Develop more and more conversation and address Him and see how it takes you from one state to another, from active to passive, from revelation of the good, to the revelation of the evil and this is how you advance. Try but only in constant incessant address to Him.

S. In the state in which a person is falling and cannot bear the load you said they continued, that it is all a part of the process and it is clear that we have to go forward and continue. Now we are right before the entrance of spirituality. The matter is critical and how can a person, a friend, fall from the work and consider leaving the path. How can we draw the wholeTen towards this. How can we hold on and grasp everyone to this?

R. Very difficult. Many many times in the 45 years that I am studying the wisdom Kabbalah I see how much a person exists in the doorway to where he is transitioning to the spiritual world and he falls and returns to the corporeal life like the rest of the people, and it happens at the last moment we're all he has it's just take one step forward. Here in this last test, he leaves and he turns away and leaves. What do we need to do? We just hold on to one another. In this way we will pass.

S. Once again the state of a complete fall, what comes first? Do we need to pray to justify the Creator or to justify the Creator, I need to pray?

R. Both. That and this. You need to have time for this and time for that.

S. Each time, the path is clear? He's giving us the opportunity to justify more orto  pray and we do it or otherwise just disconnect and ask to overcome?

R. This is from the side of the Creator. This is what you get from him as one side and you want to interact with him it is another. There is nothing to do, this is how we work.

24. S. (01:08:37) He writes this and surely he will receive this from the Creator he sits and waits for man to give him the Kli , meaning the need for it. I need to give the Creator the Kli meaning of the need for it? Can you help explain it?

R. You are connected to the ten you can ask to turn to the Creator in any state you may be You are connected to the ten you can ask to turn to the Creator in any state you may be in because you are tied to the ten and even if it is bad you are tied to the ten you can turn to the Creator.

S. Each one privately?

R. Each and a personal manner the most important as the person… and then he doesn't lose himself in the ocean of problems or

S. The Creator is just sitting and waiting for us to do it?

R. Yes.

Excerpt 4 (01:09:57) “One cannot exit self love by himself..”

25. S. (01:12:08) This we need to remember not forget that we are unable to rise above our ego and only the Creator needs to do that, which is why the successes as much as the Creator is able to help as much as I can ask demand for the Creator help me to rise above my ego.

Continues (01:12:42) “This is not a matter of understanding…”

26. R. (01:14:16) Meaning that despite us receiving blows, obstacles, disappointments, disrespect, all of the things that we feel on the way need to bring us only to to turning to the Creator to addressing the Creator from which we can help, that we can ask for the help the investment to progress in spirituality not to correct the obstacles that yell at us, talk to us, talk about us, diminish us, this is actually good this is for us not to get closer to people and circles that we don’t have any connection with and we will be able to be confused with them and lose the entire way, the Creator guards us this way and it is written in many excerpts. Rather we need one thing, to have the opportunity to turn to the Creator to help rise above all of the obstacles that’s it, that we are unable to exit our ego hence it acts on us, influences us, everything that happens around us, but in essence our purpose our goal is to rise above and reach the Creator and this is what helps us and so it is written if the Creator doesn’t build the house you will not be able to build it. A house, Bait, is called a house of bestowal.

27. S. (01:16:14) There are so many states so many prayers needed to annul the evil inclination, help me annul the evil inclination, to attain vessels of bestowal then give to the friends, what prayer is needed?

R. A very simple one I'm asking for connection between me and the friends and then connection between us between this group and the Creator that's it without starting to scrutinize all the things that we have or don't have or lacking and so on and so forth but only connection between us and with the Creator.

28. S. (01:17:20) How do I bring together the mind and heart so they become one complete prayer?

R. If you think about the one goal you imagine this goal with a single picture you have no problem you want to reach what you are depicting for yourself, if you are speaking to the friends you establish between you the future form you wish to be in, internally, emotionally, then you ask for it and that’s how you get there.

29. S. (01:18:19) How do we quickly attain that the mind and the heart who will recognize there's none else besides Him that is all comes from Him?

R. This depends on everyone’s efforts, if in the group you try more and more to be inside to be inside the group inside the connection then it will happen it will happen.

30. S. (01:19:16) Baal HaSulam writes that you can give a true prayer and the evil inclination brings you to despair and the path of the Creator is straight and the righteous will walk in it and the wicked will fail, who is the righteous that he mentions what is it?

R. Those who consider themselves such, are they righteous or wicked?

S. Yesterday at noon you said something interesting that we don’t connect sufficiently and that’s why we don’t have a true connection because we pat each other. Is that called wicked?

R. No this is simply the state, that’s a state.

31. S. (01:20:21) The descent will come from above, it’s inevitable but do you mean to say that you have power to work and work despite this feeling or the power is just taken from the person?

R. There’s no such thing and there's some power in a person the Creator gives him the power with this power He also gives him all the questions and problems everything the Creator gives and the Creator twists everything inside a person, a person is merely a vessel, it’s like a cup and inside this cup or the spot, the Creator cooks or He needs to cook so nothing depends on the person except for the person to ask the Creator the direction he wishes to reach that's it. So try to think about it and to ask, turn to the Creator and ask for the state you wish to reach.

32. S. (01:21:39) If I ask the Creator to give me the intention to bestow then am I wicked or righteous?

R. If I'm asking for the intention to bestow then I wish to be righteous.

33. S. (01:21:57) What do you mean when you say blows? Does that mean discovering how detached we are from the Creator in a true sense, or does it also have to do with corporeal suffering from humanity?

R. Both really but in truth the true blows are spiritual blows.

34. S. (01:22:26) What does it mean that the Creator’s path is straight?

R. Because they straighten a person on the way to the end of correction.

35. S. (01:22:37) How can a ten receive discernments about whether the prayer they raise is a correct prayer and not an egoistic prayer?

R. Slowly even an egoistic prayer is gradually getting corrected from above we raise to the Creator all of our desires they all rise to the Creator even we don't turn to Him but if we turn to Him and we ask for something incorrect nevertheless He corrects us, He teaches us, He corrects us.

36. S. (01:23:20) If we are aware in the ten of us being wicked and righteous and the most egoistic in the world, if we’re so successful at being wicked how can we demand a gift? What do we give to the Creator in return?

R. Look there's the process here, we see it on a baby a baby doesn't give us anything in return he exists and by existing he constantly demands and we have to fill him, fulfill him, give him what he demands, more and more, until he grows and then we can diminish our giving and even start demanding that he will do some things, so in the spiritual process when we grow up there also such things, nine months of labor and then two years of suckling and then the time of infancy and so on and so forth. They don't demand of us anything but only according to how we are, today we can make mistakes, we can ask for the wrong things but nevertheless we advance because for above they consider our degree our state, later if we ask even a tiny bit for something that is wrong then we receive corrections such that we might feel unpleasant things in them.

37. S. (01:25:09) The Creator loves us and so why doesn't He help the person who stands at the threshold of spirituality and leaves him to fall into this world again?

R. No no He's giving us all the possibilities He doesn't leave a person. The question is the person typically doesn’t want to add an exertion he doesn't try to be with the friends he's constantly full of criticism about the path he does not participate in teaching others being together with them, he remains an egoist throughout the entire path and he thinks only of himself and this way he keeps moving farther away from others even if he doesn't feel it until he’s thrown out.

38. S. (01:26:13) What depends on us as aTen and what depends on the Creator?

R. On us in the ten depends how much we hold each other together, how much we try to turn to the Creator, each one from his heart. To raise MAN,as we call it. This depends on us. MAN means not that each and everyone writes his own deficiency. This is a very slow path for correction. Rather as much as we pray together this is called a prayer many. A prayer in public and we raise it to the Creator. This is called raising MAN. That each one should find what is missing in his heart relative to the connection of others and in this way each one of us and all of us together raise those things to the Creator. If you can't do it, take these social articles by Rabash and read them together. Thus will be a true prayer.

39. S. (01:27:39) We barely talked about it but you also mentioned about yourself that what saved you is that you always had some role in dissemination, you always did something and you never let it go.

R. At least I wrote. I used to write many books. I used to go to the radio to give talks. I would l appear before different audiences. I would give you lessons.

S. We barely talked about it in the last few years. We are very focussed inside the ten and we barely talked about the importance of dissemination. Why? It seems trivial, it seems to be self explanatory as part of our life but it's not because if you don't raise the importance of something then you let it go. Then when a person falls he has nothing to hold on to because he doesn't have a role in dissemination that he's committed to.

R. You want me to start taking care of it again?

S. No, not that you will do it but how do we raise this importance all the time?

R. I don't know. There are people who have been with me for decades and if they can't run this work in my place I can't do anything because I am already old. I don't have any strength left. I have the power and the desire to give lessons twice a day and do a few more things. I would have to speak in between. to talk to the content team and so on and so forth but no more than that. If you cannot wake up then that's how the end will be. You shouldn't wait until the creator gives up. He will not give up. He demands a deficiency for which he can give what he wants. Everything is ready but if there is no deficiency then what he wants to give will not be revealed.

S. Does the deficiency come from dissemination or only working in the Ten?

R. No it's not enough. Baal HaSulam writes about it as well. Baal HaSulam writes about it. The problem is that we are in the last generation and we must be in the general dissemination . We must take care of the correction of the world. The main thing is the correction of the world. We are going to the next part of the lesson.

40. S. (01:30:49) What does it mean that the Creator builds the house?

R. He connects us, between us in order to build a complete vessel called the house.

41. S. (01:31:05) When will the Creator agree to build our house?

R. The Creator will be the house when we have a deficiency for it. I guess women do not want to connect enough for this to be built.

42. S. (01:3:26) What does it mean, wicked and righteous? Is it about the same as two in the same person?

R. Yes it is two in the same person. As much as we would like to connect we are the righteous, and when we don't want it, when it's already time for us to want it then we are wicked.

S. Is that what I used for people to describe man's inner forces?

R. I didn't get it.

S. When we talk about righteous and wicked, is it about inner forces of the same person?

R. Yes.

43. S. (01:32:10) When the righteous advances he feels more lack of confidence. What brings back this confidence each time?

R. His connection to the system, through the system he connects to the Creator and this is how he acquires strength but if he's not connected to the system then he almost has no chance of recuperating or waking up.

44. S. (01:32:48) To leave, to flee the campaign, does it mean to leave the path altogether or to miss one step, as one degree?

R. It could be one way or it could be another. The person may leave for one day and the Creator makes you leave for the week, and it could be even more.

45. S. (01:33:14) What happened with those opportunities that we missed?

R. Nothing, they disappear, you miss them. We are done. It is all written against your balance.

46. S. (01:33:30) How can I run the dialogue with the Creator

R. Simply, turn to Him, talk to Him and ask. You need to imagine that He is listening.

47. S. (01:33:50) What exactly do we need to ask the Creator to unite us to correct us. What is the right request?

R. What should we ask for? Only connection, between the friends and from within the friends turn to the Creator. This is the safest, surest request.

48. S. (01:34:21) How to obtain the deficiency for bestowal, if our ego hides the right deficiency from us..

R. No, if we are together in connection between us then this deficiency passes from one to another and it connects between all of us and we have enough and plenty of deficiency to which to turn to the Creator. This correct deficiency.

49. S. (01:34:54) I just heard that the wicked understand that they are still weak and if

another state will come to them, they will be under the rule of the ego. Can you ask the Creator to not fall again for the next state?

R. Yes, just ask.

50. S. (01:35:16) From experience I know that the Creator will soon show me how great the friends are and I will feel ashamed in everything that I think but sometimes he does it to great an intensity. Is there another way to prepare myself so that the Creator will not make it too intense for me?

R. The best thing is not to ask for more or less of something from the Creator in his attitude towards us  but rather ask about our vessel to be more and more connected between us. Then we'll always feel they are the attitude of the Creator correctly.

51. S. (01:36:06) How to cope with this power of shame?

R. It too will disappear when we connect everything and solve the connection.

52. S. (01:36:18) Annulment towards that Creator in gratitude to the Creator for all the corrections. Is that a single state or is it a cause and consequence?

R. It is one state.

53. S. (01:36:34) Are we managing humanity through the connection in our tens ?

R. We are managing humanity from within the connection according to our state? Yes.

54. S. (01:36:56 ) What is the connection we ask for humanity for the simple average person on the street? What is he supposed to do to participate in balancing the system?

R. He needs to come closer to us and enter our system, one of our systems and then we can do something.

I want to say something about the questions I'm feeling today. There are questions that someone twisted them a little bit. Maybe it is a new person who is prepared them, but they are not the way that they were before. Keep going.

55. S. (01:37:43) What is the difference between corporal and spiritual suffering?

R. No answer. No answer, suffering and suffering. When a person feels it he determines whether it is spiritual or corporeal. Spiritual suffering is typically about our spirituality.  Why can't I connect? Why can't I be in bestowal? Corporeal suffering is what I'm lacking in corporeality.

56. S. (01:38:15 ) We are not used to turning to the ten and asking for help for ourselves because we don't want to bother the friends, it is unpleasant. We do everything on our own even though it is inefficient, on the other hand my distress could be a good opportunity for connection. What is the right way to turn to the group with a request for help?

R. I wish to be in connection. That's what I'm asking for an inside this connection I don't have to be afraid of anything, I don't have to ask about anything. Only to be in greater and greater connection

57. S. (01:39:01) It was hard for me to answer the preparation question, that every friend is to awaken the friends to see the Creator as the good who does good. I found myself giving intellectual reasons and not emotional. I feel like it undermines my faith. Are there questions that we should stay away from?

R. I don't want to answer these questions anymore. These questions need to be processed properly and responded to correctly. I don't know what's going on with the question today. I guess they did not prepare the woman's questions correctly so I'm asking them to prepare correctly, clearly, concretely, on point and then we will try to answer them next time.
