Part 1:

Baal HaSulam. Shamati 213. Acknowledging the Desire

https://kabbalahmedia.info/sources/QpHrSYsP

1. Rav’s Introduction: Yes, this is truly the most important topic because the desire, the deficiency is the entire matter of creation, what the Creator created, a desire, the magnitude of the desire is measured to the magnitude of the deficiency of the lack that is felt in the desire. Therefore, how do we constantly magnify our deficiency and aim it correctly, establish it correctly, and through that also fill it with something that we choose correctly how to fill it. With what? This is what we have ahead of us and therefore even now, the most important thing after the Congress that we've been through, with the Creator’s help and in a good way for us is truly most the important thing is once again to check our deficiency how much it exists and it is correct according to quantity and quality and direction, what exactly are we learning for? According to that, once again we can continue our work. Indeed we don't have a lot of time left or more correct efforts, many efforts in order for us to start to feel the connection between our correct deficiency and the filling of that deficiency and the source of the filling. In this way we will reach a connection between us and between us and the Creator and we will be filled with the presence of the Creator in us.

In the meantime, lets’ read. You can ask questions, you can also ask whatever you have from the days we have been through, the congress we have been through, it is worthwhile to ask because if there are questions to the point it is worthwhile to scrutinize it. From today onwards we are continuing to start preparing for the next gathering. I don't know when this will be the management should tell us that, about all of these things and what the topic will be but like that from one day to the next. From one day to the next. We are coming to such congresses and gatherings, connected between us until we will start to feel ourselves certainly in a state of one degree as one man and one heart. Then we will discover within us the upper force and will be able to be the central point of the whole of reality, whole of humanity and everyone will feel that in our world there is truly some anchor, some central point, some central place, from which it is possible to learn what should we do end how do the masses advance towards the purpose of creation.

2. S. (04:25) How do I summarize and draw conclusions from the Congress if it was successful, what are the gauges, what are the right questions to ask ourselves?

R. It's not that I should be doing it, you should be doing it. Each one certainly does that according to his character, according to his nature, according to his vessels. I think that we have what to talk about. Because this always increases the importance of the gathering that we had, in my eyes also it was a very successful gathering and I'm very grateful to you. Also besides that we shouldn't let go of it, that this is something that just happened and it's gone, but rather on top of it we should build an even stronger connection between us from one day to the next. So that the Congress is continuing the connection is continuing and we are adding to it more emotion and intellect. We will learn to connect better and how with what we have achieved, we can get fulfillment not only in our emotions but also in our mind and to keep going forward. We need to see how to increase the fulfillment because this depends only on us. The upper light is in complete rest, it has no measure, it feels everything. In our deficiency, in our understanding, in our feeling we can bring it from the degree of zero where it does not exist all the way to the degree of Ein Sof, infinity where it fills everything, where it depends on our vessels which are our deficiency. That is why we need to talk more and each way each one shall help his friend about how we increase that.

S. So what is the test that attends us in order to see if it succeeded or not, what should it talk about during the day?

R. I think that we have the issue that following the holiday we have something called the continuation of the holiday, where the light doesn't immediately depart, but rather it leaves behind it a certain trail, a sign and gradually the illumination departs just like in the evening. The evening comes following the day, and the sun itself is no longer there, it sets down; however, we can still see the light, the illumination and it extends from some special time, tranquil time. But we know already that soon it will be dark and this is a sign of a new day and it's the same for us here. We need to make a calculation, what was the day about and realize that a new time is coming, this is the revelation of the Gevurot, Dinim, judgments, new states. That it's not the spirit of the holiday that is now entering but rather new desires are arriving. They begin to expand the place between us, they start distancing us from each other and this brings us the feeling of darkness. We then need to accept it correctly. Not to resist it. But rather to accept it correctly, that specifically during the darkness, we are in the light of faith. Even though it is darkness this is the posterior of the light. The light is day Ohr and in Aramaic is night that is the correct name of night. This is the posterior of the light and we need to relate to it in such a way, to relate to all of these states, that this is even more in fact the light. However the great desire that we haven't yet connected corrected covers the light and this is why we feel darkness and night, however if we relate to all of these states of darkness, night, separation, that it comes in order to provide us with even greater deficiencies so that we will discover the next day as the greater one. Then we also accept it with joy, love and understanding and this is what we have to do. Therefore what is good to do right now, following the Congress, is that we will understand correctly, the essence of time. The time that we have now that we will start to organize ourselves to it an even stronger connection from one day to the next, and what we had yesterday, what we achieved in those three days of the Congress, when we were connecting, and twice a day we were together studying, and besides that we had additional connections. Really you did it so beautifully, so correctly I really didn't do anything. I was just present in the lessons, but you did the very strong work, very important work and indeed you achieved great corrections. So let's advance. Let's advance, also to the next Congress.

S. So to summarize, each ten should do two things, summarize what happened at the Congress and also prepare for the coming states?

R. Yes, but regarding the future lessons I'm telling you all ready now you don't have to have another festival a few months from now but rather we need to think about each and every day, we will have a greater and greater action and in this way we will feel at the end of the day, meaning following that connection what deficiency and filling we have achieved, what progress to what degree of faith above reason we ascended and how do we start feel in that degree that we are coming closer and from us to the Creator. All of these things we still have to gather them together so it will soon accumulate into a Kli, into Sefirot, a Partzuf and so on. We will discover that soon and this is how we will start to advance. Each one will feel himself, that he belongs to the group and the group belongs to the upper force and the connection between the group and the upper force, is called Ibur, impregnation. How should we relate to the Creator during the Ibur? How do we annul ourselves, how do we accept him, how do we, each one, accept the friends as parts of his spiritual body? Let's hope that soon we will gather those broken pieces, those elements of ours and we will feel in that a new world, one world and one new Creator and in this way we will advance each and every day.

3. S. (14:26) There's this general summary that you do after the Congress and later on friends return to us and you friends come as a result, the tens become filled. Afterwards, the existing committees don't know how to deal with it and the small tens grow. Maybe we can talk about it during the lessons because it feels like there are many nuances and questions about how to expand the tens correctly. Sorry for approaching you but there's not enough resolution and resolve in the committee?

R. I don't know if this is relevant to all of the groups in the world Kli but I'm happy to hear that there is such a problem, especially in Moscow, maybe we can talk about it. What do you think, you know better than me?

S. First of all there are coordinators you should speak to the heads of the languages. I think that's where you should start if there are more questions, there are many elements and teams and all kinds of people who can answer.

S. For example in our ten, Moscow is speaking again, all kinds of committees approach our ten to fill up our tens with more friends, another friend or two, so new questions come up. They suggest friends who are not suitable, who are not keeping up with the pace and it repeats itself.

R. I don't think that this is a problem of the organization but rather that people go through different states and this is natural because we are constantly going through corrections in our advancement and in that advancement we go up and down up and down. Therefore as it says about the Heavenly Angels that they go up and down. The Zohar writes about these Heavenly Angels, those are us, parts of Malchut that want to reach Bina and then they come down and again they ascend and they descend. So it's hard for us to put together something that is a permanent and stable structure. But rather we are constantly in motion and also each and every one of us, and therefore we need to agree with that.

That each time this is how it is with our life until the end of correction. Until we will truly incorporate together and each one will complete every one we will always be in ascents and descents. I don't know what to say, also take into account that what we do, what we are going through, even though we have all kinds of rules that the Kabbalists, our teachers have written for us, Rabash and Baal HaSulam and even before them. However, nevertheless, these are just rules. We accordingly need to see, what can we do in our time with ourselves. Therefore, in each and every generation as it says there should be the giving of the Torah, on each and every day there is a new Torah that is given and also the writing each and every person has to write the Torah. Meaning the influence of the light over his desire, that is what is called the Torah, the way he discovers the upper light according to his desires, that are progressing towards correction or even entering correction. This is called the Torah. As it says, you should write the Torah on the tablet of your heart. So we don't have anything which is like very clear guidelines that everyone should adopt how to connect people and what to do with time when they come but you have to be concerned with that all the time according to your state and how much your heart is ready to accept them. How much out of that you, yourself can connect more and become tighter with each other. According to that you should decide.

I don't think that there can be one law for all of the groups and that for sure everyone will keep it and advance but rather it will always be such that we have questions, answers and doubts, ascents and descents, for sure ascents and descents. Therefore I don't know I'm not getting into these things, I don't get into all of these details, it doesn't belong to me. What I'm saying even though I am very concerned that it will happen and it will happen correctly, however just understand me, that this is your work. This is your work. You have to try to be as tight together as possible and through that you will understand the answer each time. Each time accepting people each time should be conditional, on the condition that they can join a ten if they are suitable for that ten. You agree to keep them later, or maybe we need to arrange new ten so it will not spoil you. Don't do it with haste, don't rush to do it, it is better if we compose new groups, new tens from the new people who come and want to join and want to be more organized. However, according to that, we need to arrange them and truly to take care of them, take care of them, take care, don't forget about that.

4. S. (22:17) Concerning summarizing the Congress, I have drawn conclusions, there is what to discuss here about how we connected with friends, how we were together in the Congress, what results we came to and how to relate it to your perspective, how do you see it with respect to the progress that you see. We also set goals for us above reason, so how do you see our progress at the Congress?

R. I see the situation like that, first of all you start to understand better what faith above reason is. How can we play and act that we are in faith? How can we get organized as though we are in faith that is in bestowal? Faith is bestowing the degree of Bina. How can we help each other and every ten can help other tens and in that way to give examples in between us and from us it will even be projected to the whole world even though they will not feel it but this is how it will influence them. I think that we started implementing that during the Congress, people understood a little bit better what does it mean faith above reason, the force of Bina above the force of Malchut, the force of bestowing being greater, more important than the force of reception. We need as much as possible to implement it in us, to accustom ourselves even to these words so that they will not confuse us, so we will not run away from them faith above reason. I remember it myself, how it was so odd, what is faith above reason? Do I become a fanatic like those religious people, people of faith who are fanatic, they were told something and they just adopted it, accepted it, no. We're not talking about facts, that this is how it needs to be, we only accept one thing, there is the force of reception and force of bestowing and that force of bestowing we wanted to ride over the force of reception. Meaning that the intention will accompany the desire. So that the desire will be managed by the intention, it's not the desire itself will operate as it is. This is good for animals and for babies, however for the degree of Adam who is similar to the Creator, we can be similar to the Creator only in our intention. To be in bestowal like the Creator and this is called faith above reason. The force of bestowal that rides controls our will to receive. The best and the easiest is when we can operate in that in the group, in the ten. Where else can we do that?

S. The state of faith above reason, and our upcoming steps towards it where do we begin?

R. This should be as Rabash says only in the unification of the ten each one shall help his friend, we need to hold each other and all of us will try to put together, by that with such relations between us. That they will be as one body, one man, one ten, one Partzuf and in that we will feel according to our efforts that there one light is revealed which is the Creator. Then we will be together with him and each one tries to be inside of the ten and the whole ten together discovers the Creator. This is our goal, this is our direction, there is no more.

5. S. (27:54) What kind of darkness will we go through, that we can draw the light to our tens, what is this darkness?

R. The darkness means separation between us. It's not misunderstanding or lack of feeling, or other such things that we are used to saying about them that this is darkness in our world, but rather darkness in spirituality is lack of connection that we discover. Because we only need connection in our vessel so that in this connection the light will be revealed, the Creator. This is why darkness for us is the feeling of separation between us. This is the reason for the darkness. That's it, so let's try to connect between us in such a way that we will feel that each one supports the other and helps the other and that those inclinations, dispositions that we have towards each other, bring us a feeling of the great giving between us, the general force of bestowal between us in which the Creator is already revealed.

6. S. (29:59) Such an amazing Congress like we had there are many gifts, so first I will approach the question, why is it that only after the present is given you feel that it is a great gift. I will explain, in the third lesson you spoke to all of the third lesson about above reason and it was super inspiring. After this Congress I cut up pieces and I said to all the friends and asked all the friends to remain in it because it was a huge gift. In the evening, after I was so inspired and joyful, but I fell into this darkness that continued through the next day. I was half dead, I couldn't move, I didn't understand where it came from, great joy to great darkness. But this morning when I got up and understood the darkness was waning so when I understood it was a great gift with new discernments but you're in the darkness you're totally dead, you don't understand that it's a great gift. Why does it come afterwards? The understanding that it was a gift?

R. This is an order to bring you discernments and opportunities to be above all of these emotions. Even though we are all an emotion because it is a desire and what is felt in the desire is the emotion and we need to be above that this is called faith above reason that the most important thing for me is to be in bestowal. Above whatever I feel in the desire in the heart and this is the most important and how can I be in that? In faith above reason? Only by truly pulling myself in the ten, that I am in the friends together with them adhered to them and then when I am with them I need to feel how much in the ascent I elevate them, I add to them and in the descents I grab ahold of them like a baby holding the mother and I'm not letting go of her.

This is how we go up and down in through that this is how we fill the group. In the ascents we add to it, in the descents we take from it the force of Arvut and this is how like in a pump, this is how we do it ups and downs, ups and downs and the group is filled from these. From those, from the deficiencies and fulfillments and if we all work in that way then very quickly we will reach a state where we reach a state and there was evening and there was more than one day.

S. This is what I told the ten, thanks to their Arvut I went through it very quickly, you really go through it and you go above reason.

R. Yes, very good.

7. S. (33:58) Today we have a very special situation. We asked our friend from Singapore to join us, so we were only four people and we needed one more friend in order to be on the screen. So I wanted to ask how should we feel the group, feel all of it from within me or should I feel each friend separately? Because it creates all kinds of confusions especially in younger groups that don't understand how to relate in general to what is happening around them.

R. I can say only one thing. That the most important for me is to feel how I belong to the group, how much I care more about the state of the group, how much I belong to it, how much I am drawn to them and I want to be together with them. It is not a physical issue it is an internal issue, and therefore this is what is important for me. To constantly feel myself where am I relative to them and even though earlier there were states when I was disconnected from them. Sometimes when something reminds me that I have to be connected with them then I start searching where can I be connected with them, that's how it was and later on I sometimes I myself recalled where am I connected or not connected to the ten? Later on even more that I start caring, why am I not connected? This is something that everybody writes, that it is necessary, why is it necessary, where is it necessary, where should I feel their importance. In such a way we begin to discover gradually that the true my true connection with the ten, when it comes as it comes gradually it actually served me my spiritual state.

This is why I need to pay attention to it. There's nothing you can do about it, this is a system, it's a machine and I need to feel how much all of its parts are interconnected and working together, each one in a different direction like in an engine let's say. But at the same time each one knows that if it will fill its role it helps the other parts also to move in the right direction. This is how we all advance and therefore no one is similar to the other, no one can do the role of the other but rather I just need to help through my example so that each one should do what he needs to do in that system, in that engine. I don't know what precisely one needs to do. I don't know what he needs to do, I can't be in his place, I have other data, other elements from within for my nature relative to the friends but I give him an example of what I do, that I work, that I want it to exist, to happen. This is how I therefore pass on to him an impression and inspiration but it's only an inspiration I can't teach him what to do, this is how we do it between us.

S. And if for example there is a feeling of inspiration in what manner can we use it in order to pull this friend, to draw him, can we punch him or..

R. To beat up friends you can do that only through love. Let's say if he felt a good relation towards him, initially and now he feels this cooling coming from you. But not blows or smacks and how can you be certain that what you think and what you decide is correct? It needs to be, mainly it needs to be working together where you incorporate him and in this way it will be clear to you how to organize everything. Besides it may be that what you think about him, that it is his fault, it is not his fault but actually your fault, who knows how it will be revealed truthfully? So I would be very careful relating to spiritual friends as to corporeal states especially with groups, with Russian groups, where the force to beat up, to organize, to force just like in the army, it doesn't work correctly. By this you will not help the friends correct, become corrected, it needs to be done by example. You want to show him something correct, then show him an example and try to explain kind of indirectly, from the outside so to speak, what you think what he should do or what he should or discuss it as if it's not about him. There are friends who cannot see or hear or understand for many months what the group wants from them. And they may be advancing and they may be behind the group, so there are all kinds of states here. What I recommend is not to go by force but anyone who is present try to give him room for work. Importance.

8. S. (41:59) From the last lesson that you wanted us to take responsibility over our development, what are we still lacking on our side?

R. For our part all that's missing is a prayer to the Creator and before the prayer we have to connect, become organized, direct ourselves correctly to the upper force so we will all be together, like in public a prayer, a prayer in the ten, in that way turn to him. This is really what we are lacking. We achieved in this Congress some sort of connection, sensation of being in an assembly, a gathering, but we needed one more lesson, maybe even two, which are a prayer about the prayer about how we become organized in the prayer and this may be one lesson, and another lesson about how do we raise the prayer. Along with yearning to be in faith above reason, we have to put the governance of the Creator above us, use different words and then we can retrieve real results from the Congress.

9. S. (44:00) A few new friends came and joined the ten but a few veterans also left our ten. These were friends who were not with us all the time, they would come occasionally, they were not involved in dissemination much. So the question is should we give a certain significance to whatever excuses they give us for the reason why they left or by the fact that they simply didn't invest in the framework that's why they left?

R. I don't think we can understand why people come closer and why they move away from the tens. These things are above us, it has to do really with every person's personal fate and our common vessel according to the root of the soul of each one. In the meantime, we are in a state of movements that we don't understand what is done on us, but all through all kinds of movements that each of us does and you see how we, even physically in the world, are in all kinds of, in this restlessness and in this motion. It is all still states that are prior to corrections, by this we are also becoming incorporated in one another in external vessels not spiritual ones becoming incorporated among us. So I think we should just let everything that is happening here give it room.

We accept all those states easily, we don't throw out anyone, we are willing to welcome everyone on one condition that people who join us don't do harm, they don't do harm. That is all that is important to us, that's it, so let's decide on these pluralistic, convenient decisions for everyone and anyone who comes is welcome, anyone who wants to leave we are not holding anyone and for ourselves we are concerned with the ten. The main thing for us is to connect into a group, and if many people come, we object to being more than a 10, 13 or 12 but that is the very top limit. Then we put together more tens, I heard in these days that many new people are coming and let's see after the Congress how what happens gradually, I think this number will decrease more and more and afterwards it will go up and come down again. It depends on many conditions. But we have to maintain our solid tens so they will persist. We add a few more people, new people here and there but mainly we can make new tens of them.

10. S. (48:45) So what are we lacking right now in order to turn to him to turn together truly to the Creator to increase his governance over us?

R. Everything is in front of you, you see in each and every language we have all of the sources and you can understand them according to your degree. So I don't have much to add. I'm happy that we have all the material present in front of everyone and if some language is missing then we compliment according to the best of our ability, just tell us what is missing and you also have to try to add to our archive, to our library more and more sources of Kabbalah, authentic sources. So let's do it but basically I think nothing is missing, the main thing is the practical work between us that's what we have to work on. We have to try more and more to reveal sources that talk about connection, about the tens about work in connection in order to attain the Creator, the connections among all the individual friends in the tens. This we need to understand better and better and repeat it because every time it will seem new to us and in this way advance, this is our work, that's it. Let's hope that along with it we will begin to study the Preface seriously in order to see there also those operations that we have to do among ourselves with each other. The restriction, the screen, the reflected light, the ascents and descents, AHP, GE, all these things. We should see ourselves that we basically are made of those things, it is our structure, it is the structure of our desire. When it is a little more corrected in faith above reason with the force of Bina that is connected to Malchut but it controls Malchut, this is why it is faith above reason. So by beginning to feel how we work with ourselves, each of us and all of us together in the ten, by this we will acquire the engine, how we work. Malchut on the left, Bina on the right, and how to combine the two and move Malchut toward Bina and this is how we perform the ascent in every single state. First we have the restriction then we come to the second restriction, meaning where we don't work with vessels of reception but only with vessels of bestowal for now, when Malchut ascends to Bina and we achieve adulthood or greatness and Malchut descends back from Bina, a meaning we use the will to receive but at the same time she ascends in her importance and greatness to Keter. So in this way we will begin to implement and feel and to realize these operations in us. In this we will feel all of creation, everything and we'll have before us all of reality transparent, truly. We will advance towards it, I just have to do it according to the pace that nature dictates.

11. S. (53:47) This Congress ended up truly sensitive, too emotional. How can we replace the intellectual approach to everyone, to an emotional one?

R. We don't need to replace, we need both, both emotional and rational.

S. Will the Creator hear our prayer that we want to feel the friends in the ten?

R. Of course, this will he will hear for sure, if we pray and ask him to give us the feelings, the understanding, the opportunity to feel the friends more he will certainly grant this, that's the first thing he is interested in because by this we correct the vessel for revealing him. The Creator is the abstract light that is interested in settling within our corrected vessels. So although we talked about it with our own language, he is interested, he wants, he does, he doesn't, but it's called the Torah spoke in the language of people.

12. S. (55:19) We do and we will do even more, a sharing of discernment and feelings that we had in the Congress, what should I focus on, what should I search for when my friends share?

R. We should try, each one to feel himself connected to his friends, and precisely through the connection with them he wants to perform some operations, some mutual operations of bestowing from among them and to the Creator. The Creator is really the center of the ten that we want to raise up.

13. S. (56:08) What do we do with everything that we received in the Congress?

R. What do we do with what we received? We have to continue, we're continuing already. I've been continuing with you for an hour now, what do you mean to continue? We have to continue to organize our vessel to understand in what way this form, this vessel is in, to reunite our ranks and position ourselves more correctly towards our goal. With what deficiency we have to have in order to attain our goal because our deficiency is the canon, it is that engine. That brings us closer to the goal. This is what we have to constantly think about and worry about it, connect ourselves more and more because to the extent of our connection we approach the goal. Another step, another step and another step, every step forward is by connecting among us some more. We haven't even started reading the article but its okay because the Congress is continuing, it is good.

14. S. (57:50) Why do they see there are serious disturbances, corporeal disturbances try to gather how to relate to it, is it all above reason, how do we work with it?

R. Of course for our women it's more difficult to be at the converse because she seemingly disconnects from the family, from the children, everything she has to do at home and it's really a problem, a big problem. On the other hand, we still have to calm the household. Because our lesson is only two hours long and if we're not performing all kinds of operations around the lesson well what can you do? Maybe you can give up some of it. Then you can show the family that you are with them. Besides, we have to prepare ourselves in advance for the Congress to prepare food, put it in the refrigerator, to arrange things and to speak to the kids that Mommy is going to be busy. You speak to your elder child, who is your husband, so he will understand me and let me at least have a few days a year to do something social. And more and more of this

S. She's referring to an accident or an illness that happened to a friend.

R. During these days of course unpleasant incidents happen, I got reports about this as well, I was sorry to read and to learn about what happened, but what can you do, that is life and life goes on and it goes on for us in far higher and more sublime ways than other people in the world think about. So we need to continue and understand that on the one hand there is None Else Besides Him, everything comes from the Creator, and we have to, the main thing is to continue. I learned from Rabash that whatever happened to him physically he continued as if nothing happened. Internally he had all kinds of thoughts and I saw and there were some signs when his wife passed away, there were all kinds of problems before that, also his daughter passed away when she was young, and then her husband passed away when he was young and two children were orphaned and other such things. But whatever happened I saw on him that he was willing to do everything that was required, besides what he has to give of himself to the Creator. This he could not give up because that was above him so he had no shame about this, no embarrassment, this he did.

15. S. (01:02:07) As a result of the Congress we had a feeling in relation to the ten that we are in the same boat, we heard a lot about it but now it is in the emotion, what is the next state, what is that state?

R. These are new states, those who are sensitive and put some effort into it, see how the connection between us should be tighter, and more organized. That's how we advance, we just have to accept it and continue. Everything we went through is for our benefit, no doubt, nothing happens not for our benefit. So we simply have to continue and not see in those things anything special, everything is on the path.

16. S. (01:03:16) The deficiency of the ten is made of the individual deficiencies of each friend or we build it out of the unity?

R. The deficiency in the ten consists of everyone together but when it comes to connection, the connection between the deficiencies acquires a different degree. Where each of us has an egoistic deficiency but when we want to unite among us to connect the essence of the connection between us, turns these egoistic connections into one desire that is altruistic, a desire for giving. This is what happened so a person is not measured according to himself, he is rather measured by what group, what circle he attributes himself to, he relates himself to. This is why we measure every friend according to his ten, his ten is kind of his passport.

17. S. (01:04:34) You talked about the need to agree with the correction, that we have to agree that we are worthy, what is the essence of this agreement, why is this agreement complicated, what does it mean to be worthy of correction?

R. Our correction is in agreeing to be connected. This is stage one and we agree for the upper light to work on us, that agreement contains within it first of all the restriction of our ego, where we don't want to draw far from one another, so the first stage is not to draw apart from one another because our desires constantly operate towards moving away because they grow from moment to moment the inner engine works. I have to constantly guard myself with respect to those desires so they don't push me away from the friends. We see that I determine at this moment that I have to be connected, with all my friends in the ten, but a moment later it's past and forgotten and fled from me and I have nothing, so what do I do? How do I work? This is how I work. In such a way that I constantly renew it and I check, and overtime when I renew a thought, a desire, the propensity. I check is it correct or not, how can I strengthen it in quantity and quality and this is how I advance, this is how my intentions and desires grow.

18. S. (01:06:46) I tried to pray for the friends and to love them and think about them but it all feels mechanical not emotional, it doesn't feel like love that fills me or makes me happy?

R. Very good, very good, love and all the feelings that come afterwards, first we have to work with our desires, without the filling in them, without attraction or rejection being revealed in them. This is given to us to feel precisely in this way so we will understand more and more the inner mechanics, or our own inner mechanics, how and to what extent we are really drawn to one another according to what desires according to what operations. Meaning our work later after we have parts of desires that we want to unite, but we still don't feel those desires themselves as a desire as an inner feeling, and in the meantime we seemingly connect these things mechanically to one another but afterwards, the desires will come emotional, and they will begin to fill these seemingly empty desires, right? Then we will be able to work with them completely. Completely in a complete way

19. S. (01:08:42) I can understand how a meeting with the friends is the best in order to overcome above reason but how can I become connected with the friends between the meetings, what do we do in those times in between the meetings?

R. I too had a problem with this so I would right here on my hand on my palm, on the back of my hand, I would right group, faith above reason, all kinds of things, these short words so that afterwards during the day I could look at it and repeat, return to them, return to the topic. Rabash, I was with him several hours a day four or five hours a day besides the lessons so he would look at it and see what was written on my hand. I would write specifically on my hand here because when I was driving I would see it would be easy for me to see what I need to think about. Yes, this is what you need to do maybe, each one according to his. Today you can create all kinds of reminders on your phones, all kinds of ringtones and I don't know. But then we had nothing, there was nothing. So that's what I would do, we need to constantly remind ourselves about the goal, each one to the others. You can perhaps on your phones, because everyone I think today has his smartphone, right, even children have it. So set up the tone like a beep, that's all you need, it's an invitation to think about what the group decided and do this, it's worthwhile. Habit become second nature. The fact that we have to constantly think about spirituality is precisely through such habits.

20. S. (01:11:23) What to do with the desire to accelerate to ten, how do I direct this desire so I don't apply pressure on their friends but also not to remain in the same state?

R. If the desire pulls you forward then you need to try to give it some expression and this can be done through all kinds of things that you do in organizational work that is the best to write, advertise, publish, take a group and teach it. In short there's much to do, there's much to do such works are certain although it is not within the group but outside of it seemingly. It's towards broader circles, dissemination, teaching but you will see how it helps you. I recommend each one to try to teach. Try to teach and you will see how it helps. Try to teach not one, but in pairs. Not alone but in pairs, it will help you keep you from becoming proud and becoming arrogant, selfish. Try it.

21. S. (01:13:14) We felt great advancement not only in our ten but great advancement in the feeling of the great connection to the whole world vessel and in this advancement will we exceed in annulling ourselves quickly?

R. It is however you use it. We truly received great help from above. I want to express a lot of gratitude again to those who prepared the lessons headed by our friends. Great gratitude to all those who participated in the Congress, in the flow of the Congress, their reward is great. We could only say thank you but their participation is already absorbed in that connection among people who participated in the Congress. It is present as a great reward for them and promotes them in spirituality and remains forever. Thank you.

S. What should we continue with now following the congress, should we continue with Shamati articles or move to faith above reason or the prayer as you mentioned in the congress?

R. The articles of Shamati we must continue as a series until we finish all of them. There are such articles which might be too early for us but I can remind you Rabash wrote Shamati articles from the words of Baal HaSulam kept with him and not publicized. But when I was with him those last ten years, only I received those articles from him. When he passed away I thought that you can't leave matters in this way but to disclose them. Then I started to publicize it and I also gave the Shamati articles to all the former Rabash students to make photocopies, and now things are coming out under their names and this is not important, the importance is they are coming out. Extremely important articles and in truth are not for everyone and that is why Rabash did not give them to everyone and that's why Baal HaSulam spoke about those things in private with his son, Rabash, that is what Baal HaSulam did and that is how it remained but I saw how I could not keep such a treasure to myself. Of course I kept the originals of all of these just like many other manuscripts of Rabash’s but I saw that I had to publish all of those things and I saw that we have to go through all these Shamati articles at least once, the entire collection of articles and afterwards we have short articles that he wrote to himself. Volume 3 we have to go through those as well, in short we have a lot to do and this part we cannot let go of because it is like our Northern Star and points us towards the goal. Other than that we have to study the wisdom of Kabbalah by itself which is TES where because we are organizing and arranging ourselves where we go from one Congress to another with all the tasks.

S. That we have, we are not so serious about it but we have to bring it closer to us, so we have to do this as well

R. With an emphasis on the Preface so at least one hour has to be Preface. We also have bigger heavier articles of Shamati so less than an hour and a half because we also have to answer questions and cannot just leave it hanging in the air. To read it without explaining is irrelevant.

S. What about the two lessons you mentioned we are missing in the congress, should we study how to organize the prayer?

R. No, these are short things, we can learn those things at the end of the week. Do you mean raising the prayer and answering the prayer?

S. What you mentioned before, you said there were two lessons missing from the congress. How we organize towards the prayer and how we raise it
R. so please prepare it for tomorrow.

S. And what about faith above reason?

R. We have to see it as a lesson that we are doing once or twice a week, Friday or Saturday. It is good that we are rushing, it is a sign, a blessing.
