1. Rav’s Introduction:

In truth, it’s hard to differentiate between prayer and raising MAN and with Kabbalists, it's mostly the same thing, the raising of a deficiency from the lower to the upper. We are, only, the correct deficiency that we need to raise to the Creator, the Creator is always a higher degree from us, where we can touch it through our deficiency, BoReh, Come and See, and if you want to reveal it, you must rise to it. How do you rise to it? If you ask, to be given the forces to be able to rise and be in the place of the upper. Therefore, we have no more than raising MAN. Only the correct order of our request to the upper degree arranges for us all our relations between us and the upper degree, the Creator. It’s always, the created being is the current degree, and the Creator is the upper degree and we’re building before us this upper degree as it is written you made me. From our correct deficiency where we process it correctly and reformat it correctly, from there we come to the state in which, yes, the Creator, come and see, the Creator is revealed to us in that way.

This is all from the force of the deficiency that we arrange, and this initial deficiency is the most difficult one because we need to make it from an opposite egoistic desire which is all aimed towards ourselves so much so that we're not even aware of it. To the extent of which our thoughts and desires are all aimed towards ourselves and we need to somewhat, somehow even though it is egotistically done so, but to aim it towards the Creator. This is also a question because the Creator is concealed and we don’t have any inclination towards Him and only when we start to discover that we want Him, that we want to turn to Him, that we are connected to Him, then that also takes a long time and efforts just like the Kabbalists tell us only the work in the ten is what formats, aims us, helping us to turn correctly to the higher up degree, the next stage which is called BoReh, Creator. The next state is always additional connection in the 10 and adhesion to it, in everything that the Creator presents before us. We need to understand that there is also a revealed part and a concealed part in this, the revealed part is my friends that I know and understand and that which the Creator arranges for us in such a way that He reveals to me seemingly the reality, the spiritual reality, in the form of corporeality in the form of a 10. I try to come closer to them, to adhere to them, to somewhat connect to them subduing myself before them. Just like Rabash writes in all his Social Articles as this is the collection of councils of how we can come to such a 10 through which we can already bestow to the upper degree from us which is called BoReh.

As if we will implement these conditions correctly then the degree, we reveal BoReh, that we will come to it and see it as the quality of the bestowal that will be revealed within us, inside the mutual connection between us. This is especially now while we are the last generation, this condition of being connected is the necessary condition for each 10 and everyone. All together it will be in the whole world that we will feel how all of the events that we are going through day after day are all aiming us towards connection, towards a mutual connection and if not, connection not only do we not advance but we will descend in order to recognize our state as bad or even worse and this will obligate us to discover ourselves in a very terrible way. This is what we need to understand about the state and to try to stabilize it correctly to implement it. This is why we have a prayer in our state in which we don't quite know how to connect to the upper, how to turn to the upper. Therefore, the prayer is, let's call it like a folk prayer, that anyone can imagine to himself what he could ask the Creator for, how to yearn for Him. Of course, there is an egoistic force that is involved in this, a person's egoism being involved with not just a desire to connect with his friends to give the Creator the possibility, the deficiency to be revealed which is what we can do for Him. This is all He is missing is a vessel for Him to be able to fill out of His desire to bestow which is all His.

Therefore, we need to understand that only the connection between us is needed and before we come to the true desire to connect in order to give the Creator by this the ability to be revealed and to delight from us, then certainly we have a lot of work, we have a lot of exertion but nevertheless, penny after penny adds up to a great sum. This great exertion, even the little bit that we are doing to sometimes catch ourselves that we want to be connected, that we must in order to bring ourselves back to the corrected vessel of Adam, only correction we ask from the Creator to do. The inclination towards that must be from us on our behalf. We can divide this in such a way that there is a request which is still not completely stabilized correctly, it is general for beginners. The form of that request we can call prayer in general. If we are already talking about our desire which we do want to obligate him, to aim it towards the Creator and even obligate the Creator to help us which is called “my sons have defeated me”. Then that address which is arranged and formatted correctly and stabilized, established correctly is called MAN, Mayin Nukvin where we raise our deficiency, and we raise it to the higher degree to the Creator which is called “make your will like His will” so that His desire will be like your desire.

But first us and then such an appeal where we can truly obligate the Creator to arrange the correct deficiency for us and to fill it, that appeal is called MAN which is the prayer which is precisely arranged between the degrees of the lower and the upper and is meant to correctly awaken the upper, obligate the upper as it is written that “my sons have defeated me”. Where He the Creator, the upper degree from us, will take care of us, arrange for us the correct deficiency so that already in that corrected deficiency that he arranges for us, for Him, because He can also partially reveal Himself which is called to fill the deficiency that was raised. There for both the vessel and light we received from above. However, we receive it from the Creator only as we proceeded with the correct deficiency on our behalf which is called MAN. As we learn from the Torah this MAN is the food, the nourishment of the people of Israel as they left Egypt in the desert. That point was the only thing that they enjoy, the only thing that they are filled by was by asking, by raising the deficiency to the Creator is what fills them, and this is truly the correct spelling for them, in the time of correction.

Throughout all of the time that a person corrects his vessel until the degree of Malchut to the degree of Bina is considered that he moves from Egypt to the land of Israel, 40 years meaning 40 degrees it is called Malchut to Bina, this is where he constantly raises MAN and from this he is filled. That is what fills a person, meaning he doesn't want anything and can't satiate himself in any other way but by turning to the Creator. Where the connection with the Creator, the appeal to the Creator is for him all of the fulfillment. It turns out that although it is called raising MAN, prayer, deficiency but he is filled and enjoys this lack, where he has nothing greater in life than that which he expects to have, rather only to be able to turn to the Creator and to ask from him. He knows in this request that he is bringing contentment to the Creator and afterwards we no longer call the appeal to the Creator raising MAN, then these are already greater things. They are also following the same style, but it is just like Ibur, Yenika, Mochin which are forms of bestowal which are greater, and this is how we will advance. Today we are in the last lesson of establishing our correct desire to the Creator and let us hope that if we conclude this correctly then tomorrow, we will already learn how we really exist, in order to receive to in order to bestow and the whole process of the Exodus from Egypt.

2. S. (14:42) How to balance, on the level of thought, that transitions between corporeality and spirituality and vice versa, how to stand with the feet on the ground and look up to the skies?

R. That is all established by persistence. Continue doing this seeking how and above as usual, not through our direct efforts but when we try like children, later it gets stabilized.

3. S. (15:30) Why is it so difficult to pray? Why is there a feeling that you're walking around it and that you won't reach the result because of the disparity of form from the Creator?

R. No, disparity of form from the Creator has nothing to do with that, actually it’s the opposite. If you were to feel the disparity of form from the Creator, then you would really have a foundation to pray from. Rather it is hard to pray because you don't see, feel, believe and you can't believe and understand the Creator prior to having the vessels with which you will reveal Him. Meaning, vessels of the bestowal as in accordance with equivalency of form to the Creator, the way He bestows you also feel some part of that. The quality of the bestowal that is revealed in you is called a “Godly part from above”. But if you don't yet have such a quality to bestow and even somewhat, then you can't be connected to Him. what can you be connected to Him if you are completely the will to receive and He is completely the desire to bestow? Only through the environment. But the environment is also like you, let’s say, that’s not important. Even if the environment is all egoists, but if they want to have to play, to act in order to bestow then by this they can stimulate each and every one, to heat up each and every one to come closer to the force of bestowal. Then even though they don't want, we ask. We yearn because the environment operates on us, that’s why we are in this world, in an egotistical environment, but it can aim us -- not speaking about the whole environment of the world -- but the ten. If the ten operates correctly, it can aim me towards the correct appeal to the Creator. Where even though I don't want to be able to bestow, I nevertheless ask Him for that.

4. S. (18:20) Before the lesson in the tens, we wrote a prayer. Now, how do we turn this into a true MAN in the lesson? What should we do with it?

R. MAN from a prayer comes in the brewing of the prayer. When the prayer is cooked for you where you can arrange it in such a way that it emerges from the true connection between the friends. If you don't have a connection then that also you can ask for the Creator to connect you that you will be able to turn to Him from the center of the ten and from this, you can already begin to awaken Him, you are truly asking for the whole action. Where you can awaken Him, for Him to give you the force of bestowal, the quality of bestowal and in this way, you can begin to feel Him to enter with Him into a mutual connection.

S. You said that when you raise MAN, you recognize that you bring joy to the Creator. Where does that insight come from?

R. The tendency of bringing contentment to the Creator must be prior to me turning to Him before I turn to Him. Otherwise, my appeal is egotistical, and it can only be a prayer. Crying like a baby, like an egoist. Of course, the Creator responds to that as well and to that also He continues to care for us. But if we want for our request to be a request to receive the force of bestowal which is the only thing that we can receive from the Creator then we turn to the Creator only to receive the force of bestowal which is why the whole world is not connected to the Creator and cannot ask or yearn for the force of bestowal. Therefore, what they're doing we call “a cry in the desert.” This is why we need to at first stabilize ourselves that we do need the force of bestowal. Where do we want this from? From us being in some form of connection between us and learning from one another as if there is such a deficiency for bestowal. And then we address Him. Otherwise, it wouldn't be there. We need to establish ourselves correctly in several points in the connection between us in what each one wants, how he learns from the others in the ten, and how we turn to the Creator with our common desire where we all want to have the mutual force of bestowal through which we can bestow to the Creator.

Because we can turn to the Creator not from what each has but from what we establish between us, and only as a result of how we relate to the friends. As a result of this, I can relate to the Creator. This is called “from the love of the created beings to the love of the Creator” and it only works in that way. That is why the main thing for us is to stabilize this foundation, this base of connection, the correct connection between us towards mutual bestowal, towards mutual connection, as much as possible. Then between us all together from each of us wanting to bestow to the friends, we build from this the image of the Creator where He's not there but that we build Him. It is written that “you made me,” and then from us connecting between us, establishing before us this image of the Creator, this image becomes the image from our sharing. The Creator becomes, BoReh, Come and See, that we want to reveal Him as a common force we have which cares for us all, which sees us as one body where we become for Him something that He gives birth to. That He does like a baby who takes care of and we go through those stages of conception and suckling, birth, and this is how we advance.

Meaning, we need to establish ourselves in such a way between us and to ask the Creator for that. So that from within us, we will be able to depict ourselves already correctly, Him, meaning the two degrees of the lower one in the upper one and to turn to the upper one in a correct way which is already called raising MAN. Raising a prayer is called that we have a desire. Our desire from the side Malchut and that we want to connect to Him in the form of Bina, the form of bestowal, and then we want to create a connection between those two degrees, the upper and the lower one so there will be bestowal from the upper to the lower, in this way that we will be able to advance. It turns out the Creator does all these actions, but we need to know how He does this, how we asked from Him, so that in our appeal to Him we can actually learn the Creator's work.

Therefore, in that which we engage, we are learning the actions of the Creator. Even though we are not doing anything on our own, and everything is done by the upper force, but that which a person engages in is called that he engages in the Creator's work. Every step and every place along the way he asks the Creator to do this action and we will see the extent to which our prayers, our addresses to the Creator will be very detailed. As specifically by us -- upon every detail -- to ask Him to do this and do that, to help here, and help that. Through all these things we will discover that we are bringing Him specifically contentment through that.

S. You said that from the common desire, from the Malchut, we rise to Bina. What is the Bina? There is the connection, that is clear but what is the Bina?

R. The quality of bestowal that can be revealed in us. Sometimes we describe it as the nature of the Creator. Sometimes we describe it as that the quality is already in the created being. We will work on this but for now, it is not worthwhile to get confused with it. Bina is the force of bestowal, the desire, and the force to bestowal. So, it is either outside the creature or inside the creature. The Creator is also something that is apparent or appears before the created being. Therefore, it is called Come and See, BoReh and this is why it is not a true upper force but rather that we call it BoReh. This is the force of Bina.

S. This is our attempt to bestowing to Him?

R. We will get more precise on that.

5. S. (27:47) Can you explain the meaning of 40 years of reaching Bina from Egypt?

R. Not yet.

6. S. (28:10) May I examine this unique emotional state that on one hand, we ask, and we do not want anything in return but at the same time we are giving with this. How can we manage this seemingly paradox that we are asking but we are giving?

R. I don't understand exactly what you're asking about or saying but let us continue and you will see. We are asking for the force of bestowal, the force of love, meaning how to relate from me outwards. That is what I am asking for. All of the forces to receive and fill oneself, I have. I don't have anything to ask about that. But what I am asking is the opposite way. As much as I want to give, to come closer to the other, and to fill him, and to be a partner of the Creator by that. To pass on all of the bestowal from the Creator through me to all of the created beings where each and every one of us turns as a pipe to fill the whole vessel of Adam. That is how we do it.

7. S. (29:55) I understood a moment ago what we received from above the request is the MAN. the MAN, is it a deficiency for the correct deficiency?

R. Yes, MAN is a deficiency but not necessarily for the correct deficiency. It could be for a filling. Anything that is connecting the lower one to the upper one in awakening the upper one for bestowal is called MAN. It is written, “the people of Israel in Egypt are the haters of MAN.” What does that mean? That this is what filled them. Only the yearning to the upper. To come closer to Him, to bestow to Him, for Him to be able to bestow and return to them. But it is not a matter of what he bestows but it is important to them that by this they fill the upper. This is why it is the raising of a deficiency from Malchut to Bina which is a filling to Bina, even though it is a deficiency. But there is no greater pleasure for the upper than to receive a deficiency from the lower. It is like the mother who when the baby wants now to suckle, to receive from her, then she has no greater pleasure than she can give him when he suckles and enjoys. Meaning there is a matter of bringing pleasure to the upper by this and it all of course depends upon the intention. In the action that we always receive from above, our work is how this act of reception is changed from the intention to receive to the intention in order to bestow.

8. S. (32:25) I am a bit despaired. It is like when the car doesn't start, how can we ask for bestowal if we are not first given the connection, which is like the fuel of the car?

R. You were given everything, you just need to arrange all of these things and to see what it is that you need to do and to activate it. The whole problem is that you are confused. We need to slowly scrutinize, mostly through the work in the ten, as much as you learn it will not help, only when you care for the ten and want to bestow to them, even from the force of your ego. Then you will advance towards understanding and the feeling of what you are lacking. To raise complaints like you do is nice and good, please do it. But there is no place for it, there is no place for it. Meaning if you do not receive advancements yet, then it is a sign that your request is not correct. That is how it is.

9. S. (34:12) It seems that there are two kinds of requests: a personal request to connect from the person, and the tens request to bring contentment. What is the tens request, exactly? How do we raise this request as a gratitude to the Creator?

R. Only through the ten can you begin to scrutinize what is exactly being spoken about, here. The intellect does not help here in any way, it is not the wise that learns. Only those who want to realize these actions within the connection. They begin to understand what is being spoken of what the inner content of all of these Kabbalistic advices are.

S. The shattering of the heart that comes from the request, this leads to connection?

R. Yes, if it is the correct breaking of the heart, not the egoistic.

10. S. (35:31) To continue the question, to what Creator do we try to bring contentment - the force of the bestowal filling up all of reality or the connection between us?

R. That is not important. We turn to the effort force that is made up of all of the actions and abilities of bestowal. I do not differentiate between how many different matters are in Him and start to discover I have this kind of Creator and that kind of Creator. We do not divide those things otherwise we will get religion or something.

S. What to focus on? How to focus the connection on describing the Creator or that all of reality is filled with the Creator and to bring Him contentment?

R. Yes, that is more correct.

11. S. (36:39) Would it be correct to say that the relationship between a ten working correctly and the friends that make up the ten is like between the desire to bestow and the will to receive between the upper level and a lower level?

R. For the time being you can depict that way as well.

12. S. (37:07) In order to raise the right deficiency through our questions to you, should we not expect an answer that will fulfill us? How to build more deficiency through your answers?

R. I do not give too many answers, I give directions. The answers come up from above for each and every person. I am just aiming you a little bit more towards the source of the answers.

S. We also hear many recordings from Rabash that you would ask a lot of questions. How did you advance to grow your deficiency, what is your advice?

R. I do not think that it is really something that advances a person, although it is all built on questions. But those questions are like raising MAN. Those are the questions and answers that we need, MAN and MAD. The connection between the desire to receive and the desire to bestow in order to receive bestowal from the desire to bestow, to receive the qualities to bestow from the qualities of the upper. This is exactly what we are standing upon, these connections between the upper and the lower. It will come. It is good that you are talking and from these questions and the confusion, relative confusion, it will all come.

S. Sometimes we come to the lesson from a scrutiny and preparation that you already come with a question. Is it better to come with a clean slate?

R. That is also okay.

13. S. (39:22) In order to raise MAN, do we first need the feeling of the host or there has to be faith above reason?

R. You cannot have the feeling of the host because “the Lord before you built this.” BoReh is called, Come and See. You need to build first this forms according to your vessels as your building the image of the Creator and then you reveal Him -” you made me” - only in such a way. Therefore, each and every one has his own image of the Creator, and in any given moment the image of the Creator is established in a different way, just like Rabbi Zushya says “that every day I have a new Creator.” Not that he is a heretic but that in each and every moment, he is in spiritual ascent.

14. S. (40:35) Should we have a uniform decision from the ten to raise a prayer or that it could be just a part of the friends, say, a minimum of two for the whole ten?

R. We need to be connected to the whole ten. Of course, we have some differentiation, here, with these more and those last because we are not yet corrected and cannot truly be above our ego, truly. To relate to everyone equally, nevertheless, we are not allowed to make from the ten some sections and only be connected in certain sections of it. That is not good, it is against spirituality.

15. S. (41:44) You said that the MAN comes from the brewing of the prayer, what is that?

R. A correctly scrutinized prayer that you can already awaken a stimulus in the upper. That stimulus is called MAN, the connection between Bina and Malchut, Mayin Nukvin.

S. You said we enjoy the deficiency that we eat the MAN but to take food as an example, how can I enjoy being hungry? In the end, the enjoyment comes from the food.

R. Not true. You enjoy from having the deficiency for bestowal and that is what fills you. That is what you live from. You do not want more than that, only the deficiency for bestow. Because then you turn to the Creator and He goes with you as a partner, and you are incorporated in His desire to bestow. This is how you come Dvekut, adhesion with Him. How do you reach adhesion with the Creator if you will not be in a desire to bestow, meaning in a deficiency for bestowal?

S. So the food example is not a good example?

R. Just like Rabash used to say, “throw that over there and that also.” We will see.

16. S. (43:32) Is it good to make a list of the friends in the ten that want to work together to make a prayer and by that, inspire the friends who do not want to participate?

R. What do you mean respect?

S. Meaning to work between those who want to work and not those who are not interested, not pressure them.

R. Do not pressure. Create a friendly atmosphere and slowly, slowly, each one will advance at his own pace. Therefore, give each one the possibility to advance. Even if a person sleeps the whole time, he is in the lesson as long as he doesn't bother and that is his form of participation.

17. S. (44:45) We say the Creator is the connection between us. What does it mean?

R. There is an upper force and there is a force that relates to us so the upper force, can be disconnected from the creatures as just a force, the upper force that bestows to the created beings created the creatures and fills them, advancing them is called BoReh, the Creator because He is connected to the desired to receive that He connected caring for this desire to receive. That I can then in return to be connected to Him and then towards me He is revealed as BoReh, come and see. This is how we need to divide things. Baal HaSulam writes a lot about this.

18. S. (46:01) When you care for the friends and you are trying to care for the connection in the ten it becomes truly a concern like thoughts that are unpleasant, the unpleasantness where does the joy come from in this place?

R. When you advance towards the goal?

S. Is this not egotistical to say I am advancing toward the goal?

R. Sometimes along the way on the path not knowing exactly what you are talking about, but sometimes you have to do disconnections and such treatments, every correction is usually against the ego and therefore it is felt as an unpleasant thing.

19. S. (47:00) We are awakening one another together into envy but most of the day I am finding myself in concern about how to take care of the deficiency of the friends we are not together with?

R. There is no counsel, try to be in this all the time that this concern will accompany you guiding you each time more and more.

Excerpt 1 Rabash Reader (47:40 - 50:14) twice

20. S. Can you explain the excerpt?

R. No, you cannot explain the excerpt. That is not a question.

S. It sounds like it is not connected to everything we've spoken about, that it is an emotional thing?

R. So you already answered that this is not connected to you.

21. S. (50:52) In the Kabbalistic writings, Baal HaSulam usually has the word soul devotion. What is this meaning?

R. Devotion cannot be if not towards the Creator, that the created being with all his desires as much as he can is inclined to bestow contentment to the Creator with all that it can, and this is called devotion.

22. S. (51:39) What is the spark and how do we work with it and how do we revive the vessels and receive it in order to bestow?

R. That is our whole work, what you are saying you're asking something so general that I can't respond to it?

S. So what is the spark?

R. The spark is in our general desire called heart that this desire is completely egoistic in order to receive, that there is a single desire out of all of the desires, very little which is not exactly in order to receive. It rather has a connection to the will to bestow which existed before the shattering of Adam which is why we feel from it and the inclination towards Kabbalah and the search for the meaning of life. The search for the Creator as it depends upon how that spark is greater or smaller in each and every person as it is essentially the root of the soul. That spark is tied to all of the systems that a person will ultimately attain if he begins to develop this spark. From this spark Creator needs to receive all of the corporeal and spiritual deficiencies to write a book, rise above in order to bestow this is called realizing the spark that it comes to the final correction and without this spark we are just animals, beasts. What is the difference between animal and human, that in the human there is a spark that attracts him to the Creator?

23. S. (53:54) Does the vitality from the prayer have a built-in ability to create a screen?

R. From the correct raising of prayer is to ask for a strength to build the screen and with that to bestow to the Creator.

24. S. (54:34) What is Rabash describing here with the connection of the prayers within the ten?

R. That together, with the ten, we need to raise the deficiency to the Creator and the more that you can connect your individual deficiencies to one common deficiency. This is called the prayer of many, the prayer of the public and this is what the Creator answers.

S. From the friend’s prayer I need to take it as it is or from what I identify as being the prayer?

R. By the work between you, you need to feel that you share a common and one deficiency.

25. S. (55:30) What is the meaning of the sin of Adam?

R. The sin of Adam HaRishon I do not know what happened but the will to bestow to the Creator became a will to receive for itself in the broken created being. How exactly did this happen we will get into it later on as it is not that simple. It is a spiritual action and if we are not in spirituality, we can't even say how the shattering took place.

26. S. (56:39) Sometimes a person can remember when he was a child before puberty that there was already a spark, something called raising MAN. Why did the Creator make it like this? That everything vanishes and later on he learns through Kabbalah to a more directly this spark, what does this add specifically in life that he was wondering all of his life and what does it add now specifically with the request you can make with his friends?

R. In our childhood more or less all of us feel the question of who I am, what am I, why do I live, a person discovers himself in this world as having entered this world, it is as though he was not in this world but now enters. This is why he looks at this world with wide-open eyes, wanting to understand what is going on, that children go through that and then gradually that we can settle, to calm down and we also start absorbing pleasures in this world of all kinds. That is why this question of why I am alive and why do we live. These are questions that we no longer have the strength and make efforts to get answers for. Besides that, we do not see where to get the answers and then only a handful of people, a small portion of the people of the world continue to develop this deficiency because that spark is alive in them even though it exists in everyone it is quenched in most people. In those in whom it is still on they are in for knowing the purpose and the meaning of life. They are the people who come to the wisdom of Kabbalah. This is what I can say, and we are those people who have that spark that does not turn off, that is still alive and that we need to realize that spark, it is called a part of God above. It exists in everyone but in those whom within it awakens, these people by developing this spark they can come to discover while living in this world that their life in the next world. If they do not, then they get another opportunity ultimately again to discover the spiritual life while living in this world.

27. S. (01:00:14) What is the fundamental difference between praying to the Creator and praying for the friends?

R. Only by daily study and discussion among the friends while scrutinizing the quotes that we learn in the morning during the day between us and also between everyone who reads them separately on his own and this is how we will advance. No more to say. The questions are such that the answer will not be clear to you.

28. S. (01:01:20) MAN is a scrutinized deficiency that we scrutinize the shattering and then we are looking for the next deficiency?

R. We need to learn what prayer is and there is more than one definition in Baal HaSulam and Rabash and other Kabbalists, but MAN is actually my deficiency that rises through the ten to the Creator connecting with the deficiency of the Creator, this is called to make your desire as His desire. What the Creator wants to bestow to you, if you feel that, raise that deficiency to Him and He will bestow to you. When you raise that to the Creator this is called MAN, Mayin means Bina and Nukvin Malchut, this is the connection from Malchut to Bina.

Excerpt 2 Reader (01:02:55 - 01:06:17) twice

29. S. What is the foundation to establish ourselves in raising a prayer?

R. Think what the upper one wants from you and make your desire as His desire as it is said.

30. S. (01:06:43) If the filling covers the deficiency, it is a sign that a person entered in order to receive?

R. No, if you received what you wanted and you got nothing more to do now, continue the labor in order to have more deficiency to bestow to the upper one. How will you do that? By greater connection with friends. Where will you get the deficiency of a higher degree? To begin with you have no way to acquire a deficiency for bestowal unless you are in a ten and then through the right connection with the friends through the envy, lust and honor you look at them and you want to be like them, at least then this egoistic desire that you find in you, you asked for corrections from the Creator.

S. When a person wants to renew his deficiencies, what is the prayer, to ask for the connection of the friends and the importance of the Creator?

R. What can he think about the importance of the Creator all the time? What will this give him as he has no access to it, he can think about it, but it is rather quickly. Only the ten can awaken in the person the correct connection to the progress, there is no other choice we do not discover it yet or feel it yet, but you will see what is happening and then you will understand what Rabash writes in the meantime we don't think about it as important, but this is what we will discover.

31. S. (01:08:51) I feel the deficiency outside the ten instead of inside, so how do I go out to ask?

R. I do not know what kind of question that is, on deficiencies outside of the ten what are you talking about?

S. That they are suffering, lack of connection in the world.

R. So go fix it and go clean that, I do not want to listen to these questions, you are not in the place that we're talking about at all. You are in this world with all of its garbage and that is where you are, this is not what we are talking about.

32. S. (01:09:46) If we succeed in raising MAN will the deficiency disappear?

R. Of course, if we raise the correct MAN, we receive MAD and this that we receive fulfillment for the previous MAN and deficiency for the next MAN, the deficiency also comes from above. The fulfillment comes from above.

Excerpt 3 Rabash Reader (01:11:02 - 01:13:20)

33. S. Do our demands get sharper if we advance in the right way whether we are in the ascent or descent?

R. Of course, clearly the demands, intentions, our ego is growing, everything is growing and good things, bad things, one who is greater than his friend his inclination is greater than himself, everything grows. The difference between the degrees is the growth of the will to receive which grows both in order to receive and in order to bestow.

34. S. (01:14:13) Why does the connection with the upper only happen through a deficiency?

R. The other one is complete bestowal, how do you connect to the upper one if you do not have a desire to receive, then who do you come with? You are coming to an office that only gives it only gives so it is waiting for people who are in deficit and then how do you come without a deficit? You have no access to it, the Creator is only bestowal, the force of pure bestowal so that what do you have, so we always need to prepare just the right kind of deficiency, will receive from the Creator this is why it is called the wisdom of Kabbalah, the wisdom of reception that we are engaged in. How to want to receive what the Creator wants to give? The Creator wants to reveal to us all of the upper light but that this light comes through the equivalence of form with it, so we have to try to establish our identification with the desire to bestow.

35. S. (01:16:11) How can you learn to identify what efforts the upper demands of me in every state?

R. The upper one wants from you always just one thing that through the friends you will learn how you can connect to him and then to that extent he can fulfill you.

36. S. (01:17:01) You said that for us to raise a prayer we need to think what the upper wants and to come closer to that, how can we do this so we will absorb better what he wants of us?

R. You're right that is why I said MAN, that there is a prayer and there is MAN, Mayin Nukvin is where Bina and Malchut connect together, these two qualities in the created being and the created being knows what he needs to activate in the upper one. By that he also fulfills himself and by fulfilling himself he fulfills the upper one. How does he fulfill himself? By having the deficiency for the upper one and by that he fulfills the upper one not wanting anything else, he only wants to bestow to the upper one and the upper one to enjoy that is a created being is in his will to receive and in a desire to bestow to the upper one which means receiving in order to bestow.

S. When we develop the deficiency of giving to the upper, we know exactly what we need to do?

R. Yes, this is through giving to the group and if we think that we can be connected to the upper one without the 10 we are still making a mistake at that we are not raising ourselves to the upper one even just one bit.

37. S. (01;19:46) Is the prayer before the prayer MAN?

R. Typically no.

38. S. (01:20:03) Is it possible to rise from degrees from the lower to the upper in joy without suffering?

R. Even more than that by suffering you cannot ascend because identifying with the upper one can only come out of joy, reveal the Creator with joy, serve the Creator with joy.

39. S. (01:20:40) The deficiency and the filling of the deficiency does this create a new state?

R. A new deficiency each time is a new state.

S. When you connect our deficiencies do we increase the lack and it becomes a prayer of many?

R. I do not know what you're asking. Scrutinize this on your own. We have thousands of questions here. I want to answer every question but when the questions become, whatever awakens right now that is not a real question, we can't spend everyone's time on this as we need to take everyone into account.

Excerpt 4 Reader (01:21:43 - 01:23:16)

40. R. We also talked about this yesterday that if I wish to bestow to the Creator then what is the fulfillment getting, the desire to bestow to the Creator and that to me is fulfillment I do not ask anything from the Creator it is just to give me the deficiency to bestow to you so that I will have a desire to bestow to you. I am asking, truly asking the Creator to create a deficiency in me but that right now this deficiency that I want to receive from the Creator is actually my fulfillment that I want to feel that it is in me as a fulfillment.

Excerpt 5 Reader (01:24:16 - 01:26:04)

Excerpt 6 Reader (01:26:05 - 01:27:19)

41. S. It is written here thanks to the Torah and Commandments he receives MAN and then raises it?

R. Deficiency also comes from above, the prayer that we raised over the deficiency is also organized in a way that everything we do and rise above still comes from the Creator, it is all done by the Creator. We just need to do something of what the Kabbalists tell us, mostly even mechanical things meaning connecting in the 10, organizing ourselves in such a way that we allow the Creator all of the forces that emerged from him to us to pass through the 10 to us and that from each of us to the 10 back to the Creator. Not that we think we have to do many independent actions here as there is no such thing, only let the Creator work with you. This means have a plain faith, the more you nullify everything will work out.

S. When we go before each other in the 10 and in the end, we have to ask to be given the deficiency for bestowal in the work?

R. Yes, we still need the deficiency to come from us even though it is clear to us that all the thoughts and desires also come from above.

S. Is it important in our work in the 10 that we will focus on this as there are different states?

R. We go through many different states, the Creator organizing it for us and through this we advance, just as if you have an animal with 10 or 20 legs, because everyone has a pair, every leg makes one motion but there is only one head.

Excerpt 7 Reader (01:30:15 -01:33:25) twice

Excerpt 8 Reader (01:33:26 - 01:35:16)

42. S. The fact that we have the right prayer does that mean we are connected now.

R. No, if you have it then you already have the vessel, MAN before you have a vessel it is before you raise the cry, if you have a restriction, screen and reflected light, everything is prepared for the upper light because the upper light is in complete stillness, that you already have connection with it, you have nothing to ask for as you have everything.

43. S. (01:36:08) In excerpt eight it says we must force and coerce him until he says I want what are the actions to convince him?

R. By our constant cry as a child that we nag and nag banging on everything it is called the opening for the ones knocking for the redemption that we keep demanding and demanding even though they're not right and they are egoistic, all kinds. The Creator still corrects us because we are constantly wasting ourselves and turning to him even though we are turning to him egotistically. Still in every egoistic cry there is still something that we want to reach him for. It is not like religious people of all kinds. It turns out that eventually by this we succeed in having the Creator being obligated to help us.

44. S. (01:37:27) MAN Is it a request for vessels of bestowal?

R. Yes.

S. What is MAD

R. It is a request for the screen.

S. What is the difference?

R. Because the difference could be that it's not for bestowal but four vessels to receive in order to bestow.

S. The MAD is what we receive but only in vessels of bestowal?

R. They returned it MAD is against our correct cry, there is much in our cry there is a part that is correct.

S. So why isn't it the purpose of creation, the Creator didn't want to give us the vessels of bestowal or he wanted to give us the feeling?

R. Exactly what he has he wants us to have, that is the filling, we don't feel our vessels of bestowal, they remain the way they are, what we are filled with is the desire to bestow.

S. That is what it about were told the Creator wants to fill the will to receive as he created it.

R. Yes.

S. The will to receive that is restricted in the end we are not fulfilled with the feeling that the Creator wanted to give but with something else?

R. Of course, if he created the will to receive and we don't want to use the will to receive directly only in order to bestow meaning that we want to be filled in the action of the stuff and not the action of reception so already we reject everything he prepared, this is called my sons have defeated me. I give them the will to receive the vessels of reception and they want to and do invert them in order to bestow. They use it according to what they decide. Even more than that they obligate and bend me that I will make that change upon them.

S. It is as if we had something ourselves to the purpose of creation.

R. Of course, this is why the Creator created such created beings that they can resurrect creation from anew.

45. R. (01:44:21) Let's hope that you will be able to come back to this in all kinds of ways, individuals within the groups and that tomorrow we will wake up to a new day.

Excerpt 9 Reader (01:44:51 - 01:46:28)

46. S. Today I understood something new from within the 10 that man is a deficiency raised through the 10 to the Creator which matches the Creator's deficiency.

R. The deficiency of the Creator to give the ten.

S. According to what we learned about Israel, Torah and the Creator are one, does that MAN actually become the Creator is that one being, one entity?

R. Of course, the Creator awakens the deficiency within us organizing everything and behind-the-scenes he spins us around and does everything, of course. This is the work of the Creator, the fact that we constantly try to do and do something. It is in order for us to discover that there is none else besides Him and that he is doing all of it.

S. So my corrected 10 is the Creator?

R. If you discover that the way it should be then that is what you really discover, you're adhesion in the Creator is in the end in the 10 that is where you completely annul yourself incorporating with them discovering that you are in that adhesion with the Creator and the Creator, the 10 is the vessel and by that you format your desire and you and the Creator are together.

S. What is the difference between the Creator not being revealed in the 10 which seems to me revealed when I see it as corrected?

R. In what is it revealed it is revealed corporeally that you have a few friends, and you are given the ability to do all kinds of actions so instead of them you can see spiritual qualities that each one is a bestower, that each one yearns for the Creator, meaning expressing some kind of desire to bestow to spirituality, into connection, this is the work. In that way you can be presented with a spiritual work even though you are still in your egoistic desires. Look what is going on, look what we read in the Torah, what do you start from? Until you enter Egypt what preparations do you have to go through until they start arguing between them only in Egypt the spiritual work starts.

S. When the 10 is corrected we become one spiritual unity. What is the difference between this and the revelation of the Creator?

R. Towards a man it is the same format as the 10 is the vessel that in it he discovers the Creator this is why he connects with him. his is why it is not for no reason that we right from the created beings to the love of the Creator, it's not two separate degrees as one clothing in the other. From tomorrow with God's help, we will start studying the Exodus out of Egypt from the ego.

S. I got confused in the exercise yesterday as it speaks about a person who takes it upon himself the burden of the Kingdom of Heaven who is this person and what are the organs?

R. I don't know where that was written, send me what you're talking about.

S. Here Rabash speaks in excerpt 7 who is the person me are the 10?

R. Each one, the homework is through the 10. It is not stated everywhere all the time because it is clear that if I want to connect to the Creator the pattern, the mold where I connect through is the 10. Go and see where Rabash writes about the ten, it comes before everything.

47. S. (01:51:48) Is the correct MAN only when we have a common deficiency?

R. Of course more or less we need it. We can't always be in the same desire with the same intentions but that somehow when they are and that we want to connect them all together they're even in the smallest way, that we aim towards the Creator with the main thing being together. What is more important is to really want to adhere to the Creator or to want even more to adhere between us so that between us is more important. This is why it is called from the love of the created beings to the love of the Creator. Here exactly is where you bump into your ego and you need to start skipping over it.

48. S. (01:52:57) The strength to work for Lishma you must receive from the upper one because the lower one cannot begin the work. What will make the upper one gives us the strength to work Lishma?

R. Even if you don't understand and even if you are not really asking for it gradually it comes to you because the Creator is changing, the times every day is a new day everybody is changing, and your egoistic desire still is developing in a way that can't stand the suffering anymore or the problems. You see the world and what is going on, in that way the Creator is gradually pressing on us in order to take us from this world out to the upper world.

S. He told us that Lo Lishma, not for her sake is also a spiritual state so what does this mean not for her sake?

R. I said it because not for her sake is also spirituality you can't say about a person living his life like an animal that he is in Lo Lishma, not for her sake, not for her sake is a state that he is in order to receive and wants for himself but that he would want to reach for her sake understanding that he is still in Lo Lishma. There are a lot of states and degrees within here, we are many years in a state of not for her sake.

S. So why does not for her sake push us and give us the first push?

R. Because I feel that I want to reach Lishma but I'm not there, yet this is why my state is called Lo Lishma.

S. It pushes us for Lishma?

R. Yes, of course.

49. S. (01:55:31) Should we aspire for results or is scrutinizing the 10 also the act?

R. Yes, the scrutiny is also the deed.

50. S. (01:56:00) It is written there specifically by praying that there will be a desire above our desire which becomes a real desire as a fitting vessel to receive the abundance. Why is it specifically by asking to have a desire above do we get the real desire?

R. Because I am asking of the Creator and by asking even incorrectly but that every time, he changes towards me and according to my request and I also change when he changes towards me and in that way, I gradually reach even though I didn't really mean to begin with in order to bestow, I reach thoughts that are in order to bestow that I want to reach bestowal to him. That I turn to him that I want to bestow to you, but I can't if I don't see pleasure in this. For now, give me pleasure by bestowing to you and now is the question either I bestow because I get pleasure from it or I understand that this pleasure has to be otherwise I won't think I'm bestowing to the Creator or I can even bestow to the Creator without pleasure, but the fact that I am bestowing to him and thinking about it, that is already the pleasure itself. Meaning the pleasure does it come with my cry or is it separate or completely disconnected, there are a lot of things and a person that advances he paces on that path reaching the right state. Don't worry about it as the Creator is still organizing all of this and will succeed.

Excerpt 10 Reader (01:58:13 - 01:59:19)

Excerpt 11 Reader (01:59:20 - 02:00:38)

51. R. The ladder of degrees you continually come MAN and from Ein Sof comes MAD all the innovation and every person comes from Ein Sof.

52. S. (02:00:56) You gave us many exercises about prayer, and it seems that this is accumulating into the raising of MAN, whatever exercises can you give us?

R. I think you need to go to the articles again it needs to be clear what is written here in the Zohar, Baal HaSulam, Rabash to clarify what is written in the excerpts by reading them you awaken great light and specifically those who belong to the upper lower MAN and MAD working on us in a way that is most beneficial this is what I recommend.

Excerpt 12 Reader (02:01:59 - 02:02:35)

53. R. Then it rises and not before.

Continues “therefore the prayer which is regarded as the soul ....” (02:02:38 - 02:03:34)

54. R. The synagogue is the center of the group where everyone connects. It is not a physical place; spirituality has nothing to do with it. It is a physical place but where we can connect all of our desires as much as we can to connect them in order to aim them towards the Creator so that is called the place of unity: Beit, home, vessel, that is created by the connection between the friends and in this place is what we call the pillar of the prayer meeting our mutual intention towards the Creator. That around this we pray, around that pillar around the intention to aim ourselves towards the Creator. The main thing is as he writes here in the book of Likutei Halachot that we must do that in order to connect between us and from that then we can activate our cry towards the Creator from there for certain we will get a response.

55. S. (02:04:56) What kind of scrutiny or trick should the 10 do when we discover a lack?

R. By the burdening and the raising of MAN we have to raise our prayer to see how we can add to it even more forces and by this we advance. I guess the upper one is not satisfied enough that he wants to give us MAD so that the MAN it's not awakened enough to give us MAD and this is why we must pressure ourselves more, to demand from the upper one to help us. It seems to us like the prayer is our praying because we are asking but, in the end, it is the Creator who does it.

56. S. (02:06:07:) May I ask about excerpt 10?

R. No.

57. S. (02:06:) If I understand correctly the concern for connection needs to come only from me, I praise and I raise MAN to connect the whole ten, is that general success?

R. It is regarded as you are being able to pray to the Creator if you can connect the 10, even without them knowing it because in this way you could confuse each other, rather that I need to organize and arranged within me a connection of the whole ten, not that I lied to myself but as much as I can that I must connect them all together within me and my heart. Then out of my heart where all the friends stand in my heart, I raised the request for our request not mine but our correction. I raised that request to the Creator and then the Creator gives us the MAD, the power to be even more connected, truly, not as I was trying to do and in this real connection it is called receiving from him the reflected light and in that connection, he then reveals to us himself the form of unity, the essence of the unity. Attaining the unity is all that we need as there is nothing more, one unique and unified this is how the Creator appears to us as it is all the time and only in the connection.

S. Does he answer the whole ten?

R. Generally it passes through the whole ten to awaken them generally, but it is directed especially towards the person who raised MAN. This is why each one should raise MAN from the whole 10 to the Creator and then everyone will benefit from it but that mainly the person who performed the action.

Excerpt 13 Reader (02:09:40 - 02:11:00)

58. S. What is the connection between shame and fear in building the connection in the 10?

R. I cannot say as shame has to do more with a person missing out on the opportunity to connect to their friends and then he is ashamed, ashamed of what? Of having a chance, an opportunity when he could connect them and he did not, so he feels it as having caused some loss and that is where the shame comes from.

59. S. (02:12:02) Press on yourself does that mean to add the right intention as the awakening from below?

R. An awakening from below means that I asked the Creator to connect us together to such an extent that the Creator will be revealed between us, we need to understand that there are two things here especially important. One is the connection between us and two is the power of the connection between us, the intensity. I need to worry about both and not about anything else. I do not need to worry about the manifestation of the Creator or about anything, I need to worry about the connection in the 10 so that it will be an internal connection so much so that the Creator will be revealed there because the Creator is the afterlife that fills all of reality and we need to be the detector that reveals the upper light. Therefore, we need to worry only about that as the light is in complete rest, infinitely and any problem is in me, in the vessel depends upon how connected we are in this is the only thing that we need to worry about, to wash our brains increasingly more with that we need only the connection between us that reveals the Creator between us. By this we build the detector.

60. S. (02:14:03) In the work we must get closer gradually to a definition more detailed of the deficiency, is this a movement from a confused state to a state more confused?

R. Yes, you are right it is a correct and good question.

61. S. (02:14:45) You said I must connect the 10 within me and to raise a mutual prayer, can I understand better?

R. We already said what we need is the power of the connection between us and to the extent of this power of connection we specifically reveal the upper light. What does it mean to have a complete vessel, a 10? What is a strong vessel? To the extent that the connection between them even though they are all different, but they all want to reach the same goal and they constantly examine themselves, do we have the same goal? The tighter that they make their vessel the more they ask to be tighter inside and we still do not feel what it means to be tight. We do not feel yet where the contact should be between us, we still don't feel it in us, but this is what we have to pray for as the power of the vessel is measured by the level of connection that they are in and pressed inside the connection. Along with it the power of the ego that pushes them away is revealed so they push even harder to connect and the power of the ego pushes them even further away, more intensively and in this way when opposite the other the power of rejection and the topic the power of connection, they start establishing a state where you have coarseness, the screen, and the reflected light. Then the Creator is revealed. The greater the coarseness that they are in and the greater the power to separate that they are in and correspondingly a greater pressure to connect, they ask the Creator to keep them together to not let go of them but to connect them. Basically, the Creator keeps them in a state where they want to explode from one another and they asked the Creator to help them hold on to each other, to connect to one another and to the extent that they hold onto the Creator it is revealed in them as inner light more and more on top of a greater coarseness. This is what it is about, try to build this image and you will see that it is already ready for our work.

Excerpt 14 Reader (02:18:04 - 02:22:10) twice

62. S. How can we know if my desire of my prayer is aimed specifically to the Creator and not something else?

R. If you connect to the friends and you want to pass everything you want to tell the Creator through them then you must be certain that this is the right prayer then it is directed correctly for now. In every situation as you advance your direction will be more accurate but that you have no way to direct a cry to the Creator unless through the 10. The 10 is like your matrix, through which you aim, through which you are certain to get to the Creator and without the 10 you are searching that you are not getting to him. This also helps if you are still in states before the real work and even though you are praying alone or trying to organize yourself by yourself, it is still somehow promoting him. But if you want to be mutually with the Creator then you have no choice but to connect to the 10 therefore it says society or death, it is spiritual society.

63. S. (02:23:52) What is longing and how do you reach that feeling?

R. Think as much as possible that only through the 10 as you ascend through them, but when you connect through them and you through that connection you imagine yourself as connected to them through the connection you send your cry to the Creator and this is how it should work. Try to picture this all the time and then more each time it will position and build you.

S. How can I know in the 10 that we have reached the correct connection?

R. You will know it according to the result and if there is no result the connection is incorrect.

64. S. (02:25:06) Can I ask about the quotes from the work in the lesson during the day.

R. Of course.

S. Were you meaning something like using a mutual document for the sharing of the prayer during the day?

R. I think it is very good to become more connected to know each other.

S. We want to thank you for insisting that we study about the prayer, it gave us a strong feeling that the Creator and prayer is not as alien as it was before.

R. Thank you but keep going in this as this is the point through which we come to spiritual recognition and it is right before us already and only through the 10 to the Creator although the will to receive does not let us do it on purpose so it will come with the right deficiency, but it is already right in front of us.

65. S. (02:27:33) You have been giving a lot of importance to learn the excerpts that we learn in the lesson.

R. Because I think it is not enough to go over them after the lesson.

S. The question is I personally get more inspired by things that you say than the sources not that I do not get inspired by the sources but what you say is more exciting and closer to me as it is in my heart more than the language here so what is wrong with me?

R. It is not that there is something wrong with you. You got all the wisdom of Kabbalah through me of course but still we need to get from the sources. There is a lot of light in a lot of spiritual power. Those who wrote it are still not me, but they are souls who are so much higher than I, that we cannot skip them. When I get these excerpts, I get them for example at noon, I hope that I will get the excerpt for tomorrow’s lesson then I will dwell on them reviewing them for several hours to read them and understand them. I also review them by going over and adding all sorts of punctuations, abbreviations and that this way I connect to them better understanding the text. After a few hours' work with the text, the one who wrote it becomes closer to me through these excerpts and in this way, I become more ready to both explain them and answer questions, but it is after working on the sources, on what we are reading this is why I highly recommend reading it. If you want to listen to the lesson, listen, if you want to listen to what I said, of course it's worthwhile but the sources still have a hidden light that is great.

Now let us do a summary of all of this lesson because tomorrow we will begin a new day as we are going into learning the Exodus from Exile, from Egypt from the will to receive to the will to bestow and how each person who Reshimot how he goes through the stages and how he should connect to the others which is why it is considered that Mitzrayim, Egypt is like a reactor as it warms us together and fusing us. Through the will to receive which has helped us against us pressing us, not letting us run away on the one hand and on the other it doesn't let us connect as well in the state that we would like to connect in this way. It brings us into a state where we are able and ready and are agreeable to that special connection called exiting above it, exiting the ego and tomorrow we will start learning this. Up until now we have done the preparation to understand this matter of passing over, where we passed from one spiritual state to the next. Thus far we have had preparation for spirituality and now we are exiting from corporeality to spirituality, let us hope that it will happen. Let us have a few more minutes to talk about what we have achieved today and what we hope to get tomorrow. Good luck and all the best. WSQ
