Reading #30 (00:22) “The second division is from thirteen years and on..”

Reading #31 (03:09) “It is written about the verse, ‘The leech has two daughters..’ ”

1. S. (06:57) is he comparing Lo Lishma to hell? I did not understand.

R. Yes. All forms of receptions are considered hell. That is how it is revealed to a person.

S. But the purpose is to have a sufficient will to receive necessary for Lishma, still it is not punishment but part of a process?

R. You are right. You are right. But you need to collect your will to receive and to discover hatred towards it, that you do not want to remain in it in any way and then you reach corrections.

2. S. (08:15) He is talking about the fact that there is a degree of Lo Lishma and then afterwards the person has passion and love for the Creator when you think of Him day and night?

R. That is the higher degree, that is even higher than Lishma, that he does everything only out of love.

S. How can you imagine such love for the Creator?

R. Why do we now need to depict this? It will only confuse us. We will be in states where we will be able to depict this. This is more important. The main thing is to be realistic in identifying these degrees.

S. So what is worthwhile for us? What state should we depict that is described here?

R. We will discover it according to it. It is a kid who is in the first grade, and you are going to explain to him what he's going to learn in the sixth or seventh grade. Everything will come, don’t worry.

3. S. (10:02) It is written ‘a tree of life it has passion in it.’ What is it talking about?

R. About the will to receive. It is talking about the will to receive.

S. But he is talking about that love is awakened. What does it have to do with the tree of life that he's talking about here?

R. Tree of life is the entire structure of the will to receive that comes from above all the way down to below.

4. S. (10:47) Can it be that he is talking about a situation, a state, that person does not go through ascents and descents? How can he be constantly adhered to the Created? What the Creator does not throw him out anymore?

R. He is in ascents and descents, and he tries in every state and every place to be adhered to the Creator.

S. Is it called that he fell in love with the Creator, that even in the descents he can sustain that connection?

R. Likely yes.

5. S (11:29) The question after these words is how to intensify the desire for spirituality without airing?

R. Only through connection with the friends we have no other option there's only one means. why would we go back to the structure of the soul of Adam HaRishon, we stabilized all of the forces and possibilities.

S. And another question, how to not fall to seeking wisdom or feeling or other things but truly yearn for bestow?

R. We need to constantly bring ourselves back to the path through what do we attain the goal. The goal is attained only by stabilizing back the structure of the soul of Adam HaRishon in full. How can this be done? Through connection between us, How can this connection be made? through the influence of the upper light upon us.

6. S. (12:46) He talks here for the first time about work of Lo Lishma for which becomes Lishma and the later he says there's another state that you can be in the work of Lo Lishma and not enter to the Lishma. What is the difference between the first and the second states, how to be cautious here?

R. Between two states Lo Lishma and Lishma?

S. No he writes at first in the beginning in thirty-one he writes after we attain the whole big will to receive for spirituality, we start to work in Torah and Mitzvot for that from Lo Lishma we enter to Lishma. Then he comes and says that although he has to make all the efforts to come to Lishma because if not if he is not an effort in that God forbid he could come to the default state of the world default made in which he won't be under Lishma later from Lo Lishma. How to be careful and not work how to work Lo Lishma correctly to not enter in the correct work that we have to ?

R. It is only through connection there is nothing that will give you another path to reach correction.

S. That's clear but how to be careful to work in the connection and not think, imagine that I'm working in connection and go around somehow?

R. Work on it. There's nothing to do.

S. Is there some point that I can check that I'm truly working on connection, and I am not in some illusion?

R. Yes, The friends that's your examination point to the extent you are drawn to them to the extent they are drawn to you.

S. How would I see their attraction towards me? How can I check their responses to me?

R. You said you are in contact with them, you are in contact with them and even there are states of mutual hatred there are states of mutual love and that's how it is from ascents and descents that's how you reach these corrections.

S. Last thing is the distance, the hatred, and the love that I have for friends shows me the closeness or the distance from Lishma to Lo Lishma?

R. If you truly come close to connection then you actually need to feel this disconnect and distancing.

7. S. (15:36) It's written here although he needs to use all the means to come to Lishma, question how to relate to this correctly to this law because a person is doing calculations he sees opportunities he's not using and missed opportunities. what can he do with that?

R. To try and add more and more of course if a person seriously advances then he sees how he didn't do anything but alongside with that he needs to make an effort. Nothing you can do.

8. S. (16:22) What is the spiritual meaning of 13 years of age?

R. There is none. I say this over and over again. He wrote 13 years that is what is the custom to say that 13 years is seemingly the amount of years until the person becomes grown up. Bar Mitzvah.

9. S. (17:06) He mentions in the text that there's a state that a person can fall in love with the Creator. Do we come to that state the whole ten together or is it in an individual state?

R. Individual, individual but still it’s mutual influence on one another.

10. S. (17:46) He mentions in the text the state in which the confusion comes to a person and from that confusion he can't come from Lo Lishma to Lishma, what confusion is he talking about?

R. I cannot hear you well Jacob

S. In the text he talks about the fact that there's a confusion that brings a person that doesn't let him go from Lo Lishma to Lishma. What confusion is he talking about that prevents the person to coming to Lishma?

R. Sometimes people take upon themselves such actions they think through which to reach Lishma and these actions are unrelated whatsoever from rising from Lo Lishma to Lishma, that's why he needs to thoroughly check to be in a group connected to a group in order not to make a mistake. Otherwise a person takes upon himself all kinds of roles and he determines to himself to advance in the path of Lishma instead of this path which is completely unrealistic.

11. S. (19:07) Can we say that Lo Lishma is when we justify the Creator? When we love it’s Lishma?

R. Yes

Reading Item #32 (19:24) “The third division is the work in Torah and Mitzvot…”

12. R. (22:18) Okay so I’ll ask you: What is the difference between working before the revival of the Dead and after? Okay who can answer it, it's not so bad we haven't been through these states?

S. (23:22) Before the Revival of the Dead, there is restriction on our will to receive and after that it is received in order to bestow.

R. Okay

S. (23:49) That first I bestow to the friends nullify before them and bestow to them and afterwards I can also receive for them for their pleasure and for the pleasure of the Creator.

R. Okay

S. (24:08) At first we run away from innovation and they're as obstacles to us, later we'll look at these novelties and develop a desire for those Innovations and it creates connection.

R. Okay

S. (24:32) Before the Revival of dead it is the regular corporeal life and the desires and after the Revival of the Dead is when we start to work when the spiritual desires begin.

R. Okay, we hear.

S. (24:57) In the beginning we work and bestowing in order to bestow that is the Hassadim and the Klipa can adhere there and only when we receive the whole NRNCHY, and we will have the forced to work with the desire of the fourth phase then we will be able to emerge in the Revival of Dead.

S. (25:30) The Revival of Dead is the regular person that has yet to awaken the point in the heart then the Revival of Dead is when the person begins to receive and the Creator brings him to such a society in which with the books and the great Rav he can then not be dead but he is ready to work serving the Creator with the friends.

R. Almost complete

S. (26:08) In the beginning I run before the Creator in the garden and afterwards I run after the Creator and nullify before him in the garden.

R. Nice, Nicely spoken

S. (27:04) Probably before I am certain with my own forces before the revival of the dead and after the revival of the dead it is faith and request to the Creator.

R. Okay

S. (27:30) Before the revival of the dead, the will to receive is egotistical and no compromises after the revival of the dead the will to receive wants with the desire of spirituality to receive it.

R. Nice, Okay, fine more or less it's accepted.

Reading Item 33: (28:27) “Now remains the clarification of the sixth inquiry,...”

13. R. (30:32) Don't we get from this that the Creator created us just like we sometimes see in younger people that they have kids in order to play with them because then they feel that they have some purpose in life, some importance in life. They have what to care for. Who cares so the Creator created us from his boredom supposedly?

Reader continues: (31:20 ) " observe these words carefully.

14. R. (27:20) In short we don't really know. It says that's essence of knowledge is not knowing that we don't know, but here and there we see that Kabbalists give us some explanations. No questions? In truth there are no answers beyond what we are reading here. The more we rise in degrees, the more we will recognize the love of the Creator towards us and then, it will be clear somehow how we need to understand this, how we need to treat it.

15. S. (33:22) It is written in Item 32; it says he will not let anyone near his mistress which is the holy Shechina. Does it mean there is no love above the Creator's love?

R. There is no love other than the love of the Creator towards us. There is none. That is the greatest force through which all of the world was created and even the shattering and created for us Heaven and Hell and all of that comes out of love. We don't yet know that but that is what happens and that's what governs the entire process.

16. S. (34:52 ) They will be revived with their shortcomings and faults; can you explain this a little bit?

R. Yes, they do come to correct what it says and then the world begins in you. Then we start correcting. First of all we locate these corruptions and then we agreed to the fact that they are dead in other words they're not able to leave in any form of connection with the Creator and then we decide that we want to get up together with them end to come closer between us and the Creator so nevertheless correct its and although this cannot be done by us but by help of the Creator we will be able to reach that.

17. S. (36:36) How can you explain, what is written here, the history has looked very well and you will be able to get to know they're great joy and delight of the Creator be rewarded? I'm not holy yet, how do I relate to these joys and delights?

R. Do you have grandchildren?

S. Of course I do.

R. Good.

S. I have a grandson who was a pilot?

R. Already?

S. He's 24 years old

R. I didn't know you were that old

S. I am old.

R. Ok so…

S. I don't have attainment yet. Why is he writing this for me? Why do I need to hear that He is delighted with joy only with those who attain it? How should I relate to this personally? It causes me envy that I hear that there are those who truly what way do we receive?

R. You get the delights from the Creator by Him being delighted to you and you give him opportunities to take care of you.

S. Yes, but this joy and delight that he's talking about sounds like a lot of fun and my life is not fun. I'm suffering.

R. It all depends how you receive it. How you receive his care, if you see that he takes you to care for you, and He puts in front of you all kinds of obstacles, degrees, and steps. You need to climb up on them and find ways to pass them and overcome them, like what is done with little kids. Even though they don't understand and they're doing it with effort and they're sweating and you're doing these actions, that the grownup that to these kids he enjoys the fact that the child is developing, even though the child doesn't know why he's doing it. He advances through that and the child does that for the time being, and in the meantime being and in the meantime he learns how he can advance and be like the grown up and then when the child grows up then to that extent they both are in connection and unity..

S. Tell me if there is such an option we studied for years instead of an option that we will also feel that delay and now this choking, I feel like we're being choked and choked. How can I change that? I want to also enjoy it a little bit, to feel joy. I don't just want to feel like you're saying that I want to.

R. The difference is either way you will work either way you will reach the final correction. The question is are you doing it in order to receive it with joy because you received it from the Creator because 'There is None else Besides Him', it is all from Him and through that you want to connect to the Creator and that is what you want to happen. Try constantly to think that through these actions you come closer to the Creator.

S. It's called in haste and not in haste. Now that I am studying it, it's called in haste right?

R. I don't really think it is Akheshena because you don't want this work. You agree out of lack of choice.

S. Of course because this narrowness I feel it in my throat how can I also enjoy my work how can I succeed to enjoy it even when I come to study the wisdom of table and not for me to be pushed into troubles I want to feel good I am a normal same person I want to feel good in the study how do I do that? How should I really do this? How do I obtain the fan when I study on the path? How do I achieve this?

R.I think they need to have some self-scrutiny I have nothing else to do, life Is life you are given a great addition in this life to find connection with the upper force, to discover it, to come closer to it, to feel it to be partners with it, so of course you need to make corrections upon yourself. All kinds of corrections but nothing you can do, each and everyone to some extent is annulled and then gives up on something or advances on something that isn't important. That is how one advances.

S. Do this work in joy. It's written to do work in joy and you will offend a lot of people. How do we also have joined the path not just sadness and heaviness in difficulty?

R. Why other than you I don't see a person that's worse than you, that you're constantly accumulating everyone.

S. I'm humiliating myself. I'm asking how they can get joy from my work?

R. You're a bad example. You're not thinking of the friend. How do you uplift them? How do you make them happy? How do you insert the spirit of life in them? I try to do it every day. Of course I don't want to make myself into some magician in the circus but still to give people this livelihood and spirit, especially in our times.

S. Mean hope to give hope?

R. Yes of course not only hope near goal everything that we have.

S. I need to think about how we really make friends, give joy to the friends, and then give me joy and go as you said with joy to find joy from the Creator. along the way you need to delight the Creator, that's what I understand.

18. S. (44:48) The fact that a person in this world wants to have children you said that the Creator did that in order to have joy and delight, so the fact that we want to bring children to the world is not interfering with the equivalence of form with the Creator?

R. Yes.

19. S. (45:32) We make a decision to work indefinitely out of pure love, can we work out of pure love and not worry about anything just having the ability to work in love?

R. We have to work only in order to attain love. That's for the time being as much as possible; in fact, the purpose of creation is to reveal love that is in every single detail of creation.

20. S. (46:41) Can I ask a question about the Unity event that we come close to?

In truth lately I did not come with excitement to the Unity events, I feel this in the ten also, we would rather stay between us, and study and the question is really am I not harming when I don't come, I'm all together maybe a half an hour drive to Petach Tikvah, am I not harming when I am in such a state?

R. I think we have to everyone that is in Israel at least to come to the Unity events physically, and I really hope that we will have such gatherings that we'll get together around the table thousands and thousands as we used to be. Gradually we are becoming more distant from the covid and hopefully it will completely disappear. Hopefully, we will enter the correct trajectory of ours, for the time being we expect all of the adjacent countries to come. I'm not responsible for registration but of course we're happy to receive everyone so please come, we will know each other more and that is how we will advance. You saw we were one day in Turkey, maybe a day and a half and to the extent it influenced our connection with Turkey, our influence on them. It is a true example for connection and really we don't need any more than that. From that salvation will come. That is all.

21. S. (49:54) Do we have to reach in the group at least part of the joy of having children?

R. Of course it is preferable, that we beget these little children through our connection between us these new vessels in which we start filling the additional life, the additional livelihood, the additional light that the Creator shines upon these vessels. Of course this needs to be our work, our joy; our goal.

22. R. (53:55) we will see you at the Unity event. We have a few more days, we will advance, prepare ourselves. I'm happy they are people who are responsible for it, and I really hope we will have a convention of success. This participation always gives us a boost forward and although we don't always feel it in practice, it totally does. It gives us a boost a little more towards the final correction.
