Part 1:

Each Day They Will Be As New In Your Eyes - Selected Excerpts from the Sources. #9

1. Rav’s Introduction (00:22): Yes, the issue is that everyday we need to get closer and closer to the Creator to see Him as new, as the foundation of the world that becomes revealed to us more everyday and through the friends that also seem new to me and I myself discover new qualities and that's how we can continue towards the complete revelation of the Creator.

Reading Excerpt 9 (01:05): “Our sages said, each day,...”

2. R. (02:37) Basically there aren't big, new things here because in any case we are going through each day through the degrees more and more. The thing is that these degrees still don't accumulate to a new perception within us of the spiritual reality. This will come.

3. S. (03:11) What does it mean in one line? How do you establish one line?

R. One line, meaning that we are clear on who we are, where we come from, where we need to go and in order to reach our goal we have to be connected. Besides connection there is not other problem for us, just to recognise that we are from the same vessel and that this vessel needs to be re-established from all the broken pieces and that specifically these broken pieces which were deliberately shattered by the Creator, when we try to reconnect them again and again it explains to us the whole matter of the Creators' work. why he created a complete man and then shattered it in terms of emotions, in mind, in relationships and all the pieces that we need to erect and rearrange together into a beautiful connection, that is like a single man which becomes the form of the Creator, that's what we need to achieve.

4. S. (05:04) This cause and consequence is the joy and intention and then the scrutiny comes?

R. It can change, it doesn't matter how.

5. S. (05:17) Each time that we are in the lesson we have a feeling that there is something new and important, as much as something happens here between us in the lesson and on the other what if the results that slowly, gradually you are less and less in the lesson, what is the cause of that?

R. This all depends on how we look for new, new foot holds so that it turns out that as much as we look for innovations in the connections between us, in the relationship between us and the Creator, we towards Him and vice versa then we see through all these connections, through all our tendencies towards the Creator, we see great innovations, and these innovations are what enliven us, what gives us vitality and correction and joy.

6. S. (06:49) Is there a possibility to imagine, somewhere to measure the second line, this left line?

R. No, there's no place right now for the second line. We just need to work on the connection. When we begin to work strongly on the connection, then we will also start working on the forces that connect and the forces that push us apart, and then we will be able to work on both together and that's how we will advance.

Reading Excerpt 10. Twice. (07:40): “If their intention is to..”

7. S. (10:30) What is this sense, this feeling of greatness of the Creator that obligates me to do actions for the sake of the Creator?

R. The feeling of the greatness of the Creator, this is a feeling that allows a person to transcend all disturbances, all doubts, difficulties because the Creator is higher than all, than everything He created, through how He influences us. So it turns out that his appearance is above all and therefore when the Creator becomes revealed, this one, unique and unified force that is the good that does good, and there's none else besides Him, all of those discernments, aspects of the upper bestowal when they become revealed we see that we have nothing left to do. That we just need to submit ourselves, even without any reason or intellect and that's how we arrive at the purpose of creation. We begin to understand who He is, what He is and through what qualities He influences us and that we have no choice, we submit ourselves and in such a way we come closer to Him, surrender and become included in Him.

S. The greatness of the Creator and the revelation of the Creator are these different things?

R. It basically happens all at once but it is two different new discernments and it depends on the person, how much he demands it. The matter is that all of the shattering and the concealment after the shattering which the Creator wants to do before us, it is only for us to establish towards Him a desire, a deficiency that comes first and then only according to this deficiency He can be revealed to us and we according to this deficiency that we present to Him we can then and only then sense Him to the fullest. Therefore, the whole of creation in fact, which is outside of spirituality, of the revelation of the Creator, of the influence of the Creator, all that was created is that darkness so that we will discover the yearning towards the light and then when the Creator reveals Himself He can really fulfill us with himself.

8. S. (14:30) Is this greatness of the Creator and this fuel to work or like you said this transcendence, is it felt as mercy?

R. Yes and yes and in many other ways, it depends on what state we are in, yes. Later, after, when these impressions begin to connect then we begin to sort them out, arrange them according to the Sefirot and the connections between the Sefirot. That is how we advance. It all accumulates and accumulates more and more.

9. S. (15:46) The greatness of the Creator seems like there is no direct approach to this thing. Meaning the Creator is great because the friends relate to Him as great and I see them as great. Between me and the Creator there is this kind of, something that's called the friends and then all the greatness of The Creator stems from them. I don't actually have the greatness of the Creator.

R. Correct, you can't grasp the greatness of the Creator but only to the extent that you’ve prepared the greatness of the friends in your eyes.

S. Maybe there's another thing above that as well, this is what I want to ask about, it is how much they consider him as great.

R. Meaning?

S. They actually give me greatness of the Creator, it doesn’t even come from me.

R. Right, right. This means that you need to receive from them an impression of the greatness of the Creator and only accordingly you assemble the impression of the greatness of the Creator in you.

S. And will that remain meaning there is not some kind of thing that changes?

R. No, it just needs to grow and that's it.

10. S. (17:10) Can you describe the exertion we must do according to the article, excerpt 10?

R. To the extent that we want to get closer between us and engage in love of friends, in the greatness of the friends, so to the extent that we can assess or appreciate the greatness of the friends in our eyes, in the same attitude we can approach the description of the greatness of the Creator. This is called, ‘from the love of the created beings, to the love of the Creator’ and in this way we begin to reveal the Creator as greater and greater, more determining and connecting and so forth. That’s our work and the main thing is to be impressed by the friends, how much they each influence each other, if we collect all of our impressions from the friends, from that we actually assemble the Creator.

We can be impressed by the friends in an earthly manner, that means power, honor and so forth or we can be impressed by the friends in a spiritual way and that means that we begin to appreciate how much each and every friend brings me an internal impression, that he fulfills me through him, that he becomes to me a conduit that connects me to The Creator.

This is how we can fulfill each other and advance. We will understand from that, there, I don't have words here we will have to advance and understand what we get from it. Why the connection between the shattered Kelim is so important and so concealed from us. We are not attracted towards inner connection between us. We don't yet know what we need to connect and that's why we are missing this concept of the Creator that has to appear.

11. S. (20:35) I wanted to be more precise because this is building the Kli for the revelation of the Creator right, the greatness of the Creator. The quality of the greatness of the Creator, to do good to His created beings. It’s the same thing just on different levels?

R. It doesn't matter, we will work and then we will define clearly the nuances and how many.

S. If I receive these qualities like the greatness of the Creator does this quality then from there a desire starts to grow to do good to the created beings and that will help this, and that will help that, and that will help create an idea?

R. We will continue in our search, in our efforts and we will see how it all comes together. You really like building some cause and effect of actions and what we get from each action such an order of cause and consequence and I think it's not exactly this way.You still have to do some sort of creative work here.

S. I want to bring joy to my Creator, to my teacher, sorry.

R. Just move forward, it's normal. Don't be offended by comments or hints.

12. S. (22:33) How can we have strength to renew ourselves in the study in order to increase the importance of the goal everyday?

R. Only by getting closer between us. Only by getting closer between us. I suggest that every day, even several times a day, that each man or woman should write to themselves some new sentence that comes from his connection with the friends. What or where does he see something new?

13. S. (23:34) In excerpt 10, like you said in ‘The Zohar’ the husband is now at the gates, each according to what he assumes in his heart. What is this gate that ‘The Zohar’ talks about?

R. That according to how much a person goes through the gates that he assesses the greatness of the Creator and works accordingly. That's how we weigh the person and talk about who he is or what he is. Then her husband is known at the gates, meaning to the extent that a person assesses the greatness of the Creator within him, that's how we relate to him.

14. S. (24:54) It seems to me that in this passage there is an invitation to see the greatness of the Creator, not only in the evening after I have gone through the whole day but also in the morning before I even start the work. Meaning, so I always need to see the greatness of the Creator?

R. Yes, we start from the morning to the evening and we go back to sleep so that also during the night we won't disconnect from that intention.

15. S. (25:36) What prayer do we need to write from below so that we can understand the importance of connection between us and awake and the greatness of the Creator?

R. In having a deficiency to appreciate Him as great, as a ruler, as fulfilling everything, doing everything. That He is everything. Meaning that he fills our Kli with all aspects and then we can feel, understand, one by one, measure and weigh who the Creator is within us because the Creator is nevertheless Bo-u-Re, come and see. He appears to the extent that we can envision Him within us.

16. S. (27:35) Could it be that each one in the ten grasps the greatness of the Creator in a different way and if it is that way then how do we have this common deficiency for Him?

R. In how can we exactly measure that we are similar and so forth? We have to long for unity but in our connection is that we are all different but actually the connection between us leads us to, to a system that is whole because even though each and every part is different from the others but it overcomes itself, it's difference, and adapts himself to others and that's what gives our Kli such a great intensity, power.

17. S. (28:45) You said that we are not drawn to inner connection between us. We don't exactly know what we need to connect and that is what we're missing this concept that the Creator needs to reveal. You are leaving it to us to reveal, so nonetheless how can you help us come closer to that?

R. I am talking about this all the time. You have to get closer between you, in the right work between you and that is to the extent that you make concessions to each other in order to be connected.

18. S. (29:36) The state where a person has no fuel in the work but the advice to exert in attaining faith in the Creator seems like an impossible situation, especially when the Creator doesn't grant the person to raise a MAN. Should a person relate to this state as a correction?

R. I don't really understand what you are saying. How does the Creator not allow, how does the Creator not want? I wouldn't say it like that. Of course we have a difficulty in connecting, understanding,attaining, adapting ourselves to the Creator. It's like a baby that sometimes doesn’t understand it's mother and he's trying, it's looking at her mouth as she is saying things but he doesn't get it. It's the same with us but it's not that the Creator doesn't want us or doesn't allow us to raise the MAN, there is no such thing. He helps us, He builds it for us. He, Himself builds the MAN and as if He puts it in our mouth and He activates our whole coordination so that we connect.

S. Not meant like slander or reproach to the Creator but this is like my reality, my truth.It is like I have no fuel in the work but I read the advice of the Kabbalists and they tell me to exert but I don't have fuel in the work. How to practically do this?

R. How to practically do it that you are looking for what qualities of the friend can you connect with so that between those qualities you give the Creator an opportunity to enter and appear. What can you connect from yourself and from someone else of the friends that in joining, connecting you, between you, the Creator can be revealed. We are building the correction, the connection,what existed before the shattering of the Kli of Adam HaRishon.

Therefore, we have to work on how we are connecting these Kelim in some ways and then we do all kinds of actions, connections, getting closer to each other and connecting and the Creator, when it is possible, when we are trying to do something, He immediately shines through that. Even in states when we are not fully connected, when we don’t yet return to the corrected Kli, or some portion of that shattered Kli of Adam HaRishon, He still shines to some extent and we feel that we are getting closer and that we are moving towards more corrected forms. Let's give it a shot.

19. S. (34:15) When we are learning Pticha for example,we are trying to memorize the words that mean a lot to us, like Gadlut, for example. There are certain emotions, feelings and impressions associated with these words. Can we take the same impressions as a guide to interpret Rabash articles and are they interchangeable? Gadlut from Pticha to Gadlut in Rabash and Baal HaSulam articles?

R. Yes. We can do it but there is danger really that you could get confused and then wander through various definitions that won't give you results. Try it but not for long.

20. S. (35:27) The demand for the greatness of the Creator comes from this soul devotion from the heart of the ten?

R. Yes, if it comes from that form, from that need, then of course the Creator is about to be revealed.

21. S. (36:00) The quality, the greatness of the friend, this is the Kli for the revelation of the Creator?

R. Yes.

22. S. (36:24) What are these renewals, the new things that can help us towards correction?

R. These Innovations are the Kelim that we need to connect and then when they gather, to some extent, we can reveal the Creator more and more.

23. S. (36:57) It is a really subtle question here. The Creator reveals between us in the friends and our relations with one another and there are friends that are every day, very active. There are some friends that are starting to distance. Where is this boundary here that we are allowed to press but between that they are with us?

R. It is hard to say, I don't know. It is impossible to communicate in words what needs to be done. You just have to try and keep them in a mutual prayer and constant practice, sort of constant practice. Meaning practice, meaning coming together a couple of times a week virtually or physically, or to have a cup of coffee, or drink a L’Chaim or something. In short, it needs to be that if in some way it is closer to life.

That this is your way of life, that that's how you live. This is how you gather between you and do something together. You understand, you have to make it so that the meeting between you, without the study, without all kinds of scrutinies, just the actual meeting itself, that there is room for it a couple of times a week, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, it doesn't matter how long. It's just that you feel good speaking to each other.

24. S. (39:23) Does the effort to see friends is only in order to reach spirituality shows that our intention is not for the friends but for the Creator?

R. Yes. I think that bit-by-bit you are discovering it, you will discover it.

25. S. (39:59) How can I always stay in the right intention?

R. Habits, preparation, conclusions you draw from the spiritual work, your impression of the friends all of that are necessary elements in our movement forward. We have to use all of that and collect all of that. Habit is a very good quality in human beings. It doesn't exist just in human beings but also in animals, it is necessary in order to help us get to know the spiritual realm.

All of these are very necessary, very effective states. Collect them, analyze them, scrutinize them and then you will see to what extent and why everything was given to us in this way. Some things were given to us from the Creator automatically as instincts, some as half, partial instincts that appear in us as acquired qualities and other things we ourselves have to renew them each time with some effort, intellectual effort, to give birth to them in us time after time and that's how we move forward. The main thing is not to think about it or to try to make things systematic like that but just to carry them out in the group. Then they will shape up in you in the right way.

26. S. (42:30) This feeling that we have sometimes when you want to come, you get used to connecting to the lesson and something disappears. How do we start feeling flavor in some of these actions?

R. We need to delve deeper into the lesson, into the words, into the inner essence of it and then you will feel that you have something that you can do with the lesson. It is not that you're just listening to sound waves and fluctuations in the air. You need to absorb within you the meaning of the lesson. What he wants to tell you, why the author wrote exactly the way he did and he turns to you in that exact way. How you respond to him. Usually I read material for the day from tomorrow, the evening in advance. Afterwards we move forward.

27. S. (44:00) How can one open himself to the influence of friends? Our hearts are locked, we cannot open it to friends? How can we soften our hearts?

R. By examples that we give to one another. I don't want, I don't need but I know just one thing that in order for us to be ‘as one man in one heart,’ we have to do in the group connect. Then I have to give them an example of how to connect and here I have to play; act. However much I believe them and trust them and how close I am to them and connected to them, how much I really trust them and so forth and so on. These kinds of actions that we display to one another, they are very helpful, so then we really do change, we change. Try to do it and you will see.

28. S. (45:52) We were speaking about the greatness of the Creator that we have to acquire that to advance in the work and we are going to acquired only through the friends, but if the Creator created everything he created me and operates me every moment in my life I can receive His greatness in a personal way straight to me because it’s clear to me in an egoistic way. But why is it easier for me to feel it within myself rather than to hear it from my friends about the greatness of the Creator but you said that I can only receive it from the friends?

R. The thing is that we can use our qualities, these qualities that we have like, envy, this feelings of self-importance, everything that actually comes from the egoism that we have within us and whenever we use these qualities we can really correct ourselves. Like it is written, “envy, lust, honor brings a person out of this world”; It turns out that if I use them, the envy, lust and honor then I advance. It is really a wonder, by them I really advance.

S. If that is how it is from the friends that by envy and lust i can receive more from the Creator but it says that I need to receive from the friends?

R. It is really hard to give yourself the greatness of the Creator but if you raise it in the friends, the greatness of the Creator will rise in you.

S. Still it is not clear, why is it difficult to me, if He created everything and He does everything to me even the words i’m speaking right now?

R. The Creator is concealed and the friends are in front of you, and when you hear something from them you can somehow depict to yourself in practice; the Creator it is something that you have to imagine to yourself because there is no Creator in such a way, you create Him in yourself, you draw Him within yourself.

S. That is what I need to say to myself, what will they tell me?

R. It doesn't matter but they will tell you. The fact that someone outside of yourself says this, this specifically what influences you. Pay attention to that.

29. S. (49:23) Should we make sure that the friends will have an environment that they can reach an equivalence of form with the Creator, that it always renews?

R. It always renews, in general each and every moment in nature and life is this renewal; each and every moment, like it says, no moment is like another etc. We are always changing and our environment changes, all the forms are always changing and they are all reaching the end of corrections but it is only on the level of the still, that happens by itself and we need to hasten this development and bring it to wholeness.

S. By taking care that the environment will be in that direction?

R. Yes.

30. S. (50:33) Many times I'm afraid to ask a question in the lesson so it is a question from me not for my ten, let's say that in a ten we have many different friends connecting but some others friends don't come often there is no such connection, so how can we see the greatness if some of them have a strong connections and other friends don't you don't have such a connections in these actions?

R. You have to justify all the friends, you have to depict yourself in their place, how difficult it is for them to be in the lesson, because it is maybe in the middle of work and all kinds of different problems that they have and therefore you have to justify them and try to fulfill their role in the lesson as well.

31. S. (51:55) Do we need to depict and speak about it in the ten, about the next degree that we need to achieve?

R. For sure. We develop gradually, there are some degrees that we developed, and each previous degree creates the next, the following degree. That’s how it happens.

S. Should we discuss this in the ten so that we will have a common perception and a common depiction of the state, next degree?

R. That is what we say; that if we connect then our degree becomes the next degree, and the next degree whenever we connect and connect all of these elements together to the extent that we are able to we connect them then, it changes its form to the next degree. This is how it happens in each degree or each degree creates the next degree, builds the next degree.

S. If we are successful in that so it will be given to us from above, the true next more advanced degree?

R. The moment that we connect, even just a little bit, then immediately our degree becomes the next degree and then in the next degree the same thing; and the more we connect between us the more quickly we build the next degree and that is how we arise. We build in front of us, by ourselves these degrees that we will then climb. It happens through the Reshimot, the records.

32. S. (54:38) Yesterday in the noon lesson I heard you talk about the distance between the Creator and the friends, that it is the same distance and that we need to look for the friends and find them in the heart. Yes, we are going through different states in the ten and with the congress it feels that we cannot connect and there is always this dialogue with the Creator and we are on the verge of despair from searching how to succeed, and i heard what you said yesterday and somehow i tried to agree with it and I found out that in my heart there are no friends and there is like an empty room that the friends were there before but they disappeared, at the moment they are not there, so my question is if they have suddenly appeared…?

R. First of all it's not obstacles, the more you feel distance from one another sometimes from greater distances you come closer together. This is how it is, each time you renew, you discover new states. Therefore these states of disconnection and connection, disconnection and connection all the time, they Interchange and they obligate you to rise.

S. Yes but it amazed me that there was this desire that we connected in but then I felt that they are not in my heart so I wanted to ask how is no to lose them from my heart?

R. Ask the Creator. Ask the Creator to gather you all into one heart. That is good.

33. S. (56:55) What is the meaning in the faith in the greatness of the Creator and what is the difference between that and faith above reason?

R. There are many parallel things here, but faith in the greatness of the Creator it is faith that He is the Good that does good, and includes everything and prepares and arranges everything, this faith in the greatness of the Creator; and faith above reason depends on you on how much you want to receive the next degree and vessels of bestowal.

34. S. (58:04) In today's lessons and in previous lessons there was a question that if we see that one of the friends begins to move away from the group we can raise a prayer for him and so forth. The question is if I see that one of the friends is moving away it is actually me moving away from the group?

R. Yes. That is very correct, this is how they show it to you.

S. How to check if it’s the friend or me?

R. You do not need to check if it’s you or the friend, why do you care? The main thing is to come closer as fast as you can.

S. In the prayer we pray for the friend that is moving away and I'm praying for him, but if it’s me?

R. It is the same thing; if he gets away from you or you get away from him. The prayer needs to be aimed towards the Creator and turn to the Creator so that you will not distance but come closer.

S. So in the prayer needs to be such an element that is not for the friend who moves away but that we should not have any distance?

R. Yes, and in general all the rest it only seems to me; if I'm getting away or I'm not, he’s getting further from me or I'm getting away from him. The main thing is that both of us need to be connected between us.

35. S. (59:55) It says in item 10, if they want to add work they need to add in the greatness of the Creator so what should we pay attention to first the work or the greatness of the creator?

R. Work in the greatness of the Creator.

Reading item #11 (01:00:24) “Rashi interprets, each day they will be as new in your eyes…”

36. R. (01:02:04) It means that's as much as the person can depict to himself the greatness of the Creator accordingly the place that he’s in changes and the Creator is reveals, the degrees that he goes through, and all of these changes within a person according to the greatness of the Creator that he depicts to himself.

Reading item #12 (01:02:35) “Man must only commit to strengthening himself each time anew..”

37. R. (01:04:01) Meaning the main victory comes by turning to the Creator that we demand from Him as much as we can in the connection between us that He will help us; this is actually what we need to worry about all the time, that we will have connection between us and this connection we will raise to the Creator and demand help from Him, in this we give Him contentment.

Reading item #13 (01:04:36) “similarly one who has not been rewarded with his love all that he has done..”

38. S. (01:05:44) Why do we need to ask for the friends if the most important thing for us is the connection?

R. So what're friends if not pieces of your connection?

S. So why not directly ask for the connections, why do I need to think first about the friends the connection is more general that I need…?

R. I still do not get it? Who are you connecting with?

S. with the friends

R. But you are not asking to be connected with them?

S. So what does it mean to ask for the friend?

R. That you will connect with him then you will help him

S. So it is not for the friend it is for the connection?

R. What do you have with the friend if you are not connected with him? How can you feel some kind of an attitude from him?

39. S. (01:06:55) About the prayer when we compose a prayer in the ten it's always helps individually and following that you start some deficiency, some request move through the greatness of the Creator and it with gratitude and then the prayer gets canceled you stay not with a deficiency but with some wholeness, some gratitude, some comfort that you've done some good work. So where do you actually extract the true prayer from in such a cry that stays a prayer?

R. A whole prayer is that you need to imagine the entire ten as one structure and you want to see them as much as you can imagine yourself in a corrected form, and you pray for that state and this is called a whole prayer.

S. That is exactly the point that we reached in the ten but then it disappeared?

R. What does it mean to disappear? you have a ten and it is all in connection, the Creator is with them in connection and that is what you arrive to and from that state you pray and that is what you bow to.

S. After we get to this state of that request, then from that there is some Joy and gratitude that awakens and the Creator is with us and then to joy and gratitude delete the same request we just had a moment ago?

R. I do not understand what you are saying but say it again apparently it's important.

S. We are praying in the ten like you said we see each one collecting and adding to this center his part, and then after a round or two we get to a point that we see the Creator is here and then there is some gratitude about that state of the ten that is connected, that it's working, that we invested and the Creator is with the ten and then you come out of the prayer with a taste of there's no request left, there is no prayer left, you are in the place of some fulfillment so how do you maintain the prayer, how do you maintain the inner cry and not just be happy that you've done some work with the ten?

R. No, you are now with your friends connected with this deficiency for the next degree that you have not obtained yet, so that is what you are praying for, so please continue: Demand that state, you want to be a component of that same state, that the Creator is revealed in the center.

S. So after we get to that common gratitude state, now we have to tell the Creator, give us some more place to work?

R. By itself it is a place of work, why do you need more? By itself it's a place of work and you want it to end in wholeness.

S. It is exactly what I'm missing and asking about the place after the gratitude?

R. I don't understand, ask the friends, maybe they can explain it to you.

40. S. (01:10:40) In item 13, the second sentence he writes that everyday and every moment one should start anew as if he has not done a thing in his entire life and then the children of Israel sighed from the work, so the sigh, the cry, we reach it when the work towards the Creator renew every moment?

R. Yes and you started each time from nothing, from zero.

S. Right, but for a long time I have a question about the mechanics of this. When I ask for the friends when we are not in the gathering between us, it’s a preparation kind of, what kind of prayer can we ask every moment when I'm not physically connected to them?

R. very simple, take from everything that you are creating with the friends all the time, take from there. Your desire for a higher degree, a higher degree and pray; ask yourself from the Creator, turn to Him and say that you want everything to change, your attitude towards the ten towards everyone and then your prayer will be ten times stronger as opposed to asking for yourself by yourself. So turn to Him and ask.

S. When I am with my friends in a meeting I ask from my deficiency but when I'm in the work I do not feel this deficiency. How do I ask then?

R. So don't ask, just be grateful. It means that it is time for gratitude; turn to the Creator and always speak to Him.
