Part 1:

Selected Excerpts from the sources

1. Rav’s Introduction: (00:14) We exist in the will to receive this is our nature as the Creator created it and he says that I created the evil inclination in all of our work is to invert ourselves from being under the rule of the evil inclination to move to the rule of the good inclination. This speaks about love your friend as yourself in general this is how it is expressed and so all of our attention which we should reveal as our work is how do we come closer to the friends for the time being to the friends and later on to greater audiences wider and wider audiences until we will reach such a relation to the whole world to the whole humanity. This is our work and this is the correction of the world which we need to do.

This is how it is according to the system of creation the order among the souls this is what we have to do and until we do it we will feel ourselves as isolated from the human society that we have to bring this method to everyone and see man's freedom, each and every man in the world that he needs that even though he doesn't feel it, he wasn't told about it, he wasn't taught that, he’s not at all in such a feeling but nevertheless, he depends on us from the internality of the system of creation and therefore he also has a demand for that towards those people who are to some extent with some contact with freedom, the true freedom and they don't teach him, they don't free him up from the control of the evil inclination, the control of the ego.

We need to try between us first of all the relations between us we should try to discover how much they evil inclination is limiting us controlling us and not allowing us to leave simply and along with that how do we through each one shall help his friend how we can begin to distance ourselves, to repel from ourselves this evil inclination and come closer to the good inclination on our own and also ask the Creator. Mostly we have to discover how much we are not capable on our own of coming out of the evil inclination. The Creator is the only one who can correct it and take care of us and then we turn to Him and we truly obligate Him; we demand from Him that He will correct us. This is actually our work and we need to feel in that that we are coming out of the exile where we are under the rule of our ego, the rule of the evil inclination and we are entering the good inclination we reach a new world, new relations, a new feeling of where we are.

And to the extent that we come out of the rule of our ego we begin to feel what is the true world that we exist in and the concealment gradually disappears and we begin to feel a new system and the rule of the Creator, the rule of the good inclination over the whole world, that all the systems of nature they all work as a single system in mutual complementation of each other and we are in the center of all of these systems. We, meaning all the people in the world as Baal HaSulam writes that for the time being we must do it and this is why we are a collection of all kinds of nations and parts of humanity.

This is how we came together in Babylon and ever since then we, our special group that according to the purpose of creation we are directed straight to the Creator this is why it's called Israel, Yashar-El, and we shall see in that how do we come out of the slavery to freedom, we'll throw away from ourselves the rule of our ego that is constantly directing us towards what is good for it and we will feel its rule as a foreign rule over us and we will come closer to another rule, a good rule, the Creator’s rule over us, the rule of the good inclination, of love, connection, support, help, mutual help between us and later on between all of the people in the world. So let's read a few excerpts about it that we have gathered.

Reading excerpt #1 (08:01) “ Bina, whose quality is desiring mercy..”

2. R. (09:09) We can say that no one lacks anything but the quality of bestwal, that he needs to obtain but with all the qualities that he has to begin with it is organized by the Creator in a way that is direct and sufficient.

Reading excerpt number one again. (09:32)

3. R. (10:44) We call this state delighted in mercy. That whatever one has, it doesn't matter what it is, I'm happy with this. It's enough for me and all I want is to acquire more and more forces of bestowal.

4. S. (11:02) A person moves from one control to another control. Where is the freedom?

R. Freedom from the Angel of death as we call it, that the person bit by bit through study, through the environment, he determines his will to receive, that he thinks of himself, only cares of himself and this obstructs him from caring for others and thinking of others, this is his death.

S. And when a person is in bestowal he’s basically enslaved to society, he doesn’t have freedom, he always depends on them.

R. Of course, it depends on them 100% if he truly corrects himself and he has no will to receive for himself but only the desire of the environment that he serves only the environment.

S. What is freedom then?

R. Freedom of his own desire.

S. To the desire of others?

R. To the desire of others, in that he discovers that this is the desire of the Creator, this is called freedom.

5. S. (12:33) What's the purpose of creating a reality where you’re in the desire that you have to come out of?

R. Because we as created beings cannot feel any phenomenon if there is no opposite phenomenon only in the difference between the two of them that we determine ourselves. The Lord has made one opposite the other as it is written and therefore we need the evil inclination as the Creator says I created the evil inclination and opposite that one has the spice of Torah, what does that mean? that there is an upper light that influences the person an upper illumination an upper force that brings the person a new rule another force: bestowal, and then the person tries to bring himself to a state where the force of bestowal will control him instead of the force of reception and this is called to come out of Egypt and reach the land of Israel, where Egypt is the rule of the evil inclination where one only thinks of himself and the land of Israel, when he shifts to a rule where he thinks of others.

S. But what is the exit to the will to receive you're always in the will to receive is the nature of creation?

R. Desire itself doesn't hinder us, it's just in order for me to exist so I have a will to receive where one only takes care of one's existence, but what for?, that becomes the primary question, the intention, what do exist for? so that by existing I want to keep the uppermost law of creation, which is the law of bestowal and love.

S. The freedom is freedom of the intention?

R.The freedom is in the intention, that’s right. And we get the forces for it from above, so if we’re drawn to freedom from the angel of death from in order to receive from our ego and we want to enter under the control of the will to bestow which is called under the control of the rule of the Creator that bit by bit we cause this transition.

S. He writes: freedom from the angel of death, he’s talking about the intention to receive, you’re not exiting the desire to receive, you always be there?

R. We never exit the will to receive. We work outside the will to receive, otherwise we're not created beings, meaning that the fact that each one of us has a will to receive this is what separates us from the Creator, and it makes us like the guest opposite the hosts.

S. Then what determines how do you use the will to receive?

R. Your decision. Either you want to keep the will to receive as though there is nothing other than that, there's only one force that rules Creation, the will to receive the force of the ego, or you want to rise above it and be in  bestowal which is the force of the Creator, then you demand of him forces.You try to get from him all kinds of means so that you will also have certain forces of bestowal and by them to the extent that you bestow to the Creator you begin to discover Him.

6. S. (12:17) What does that mean that this person can always be in wholeness?

R. The Creator is whole. A person who rises above his will to receive he can't get rid of it but even to the contrary the more he is able to rise above the will to receive, the will to receive is even greater, and this is how he grows and it gives the person the possibility to overcome and rise higher and higher. By this the degree of the person is determined as much as the will to bestow he attains is more than the will to receive that is revealed in him to begin with, as it is written: “one who’s greater than his friend, he’s inclination is greater”.

S. He settles for little and he’s in holiness and he’s evolving? How do all these three things come together?

R. Very simple. He settles for little because As for himself he doesn't need anything beyond existing, Otherwise how can he keep the purpose of creation?, that is one thing, second, that he needs to rise above his own desires to desires of bestowal, for this he has to connect to his friends in order to develop towards them the will to bestow in a mutual manner and later on out of all of them, out of the entire Ten where we see how Moses following the advice of Yethro hided the whole society that came to Egypt to Israel and it’s how they divided into Tens and then they worked on the connection between them in other to feel the system of mutual bestowal.

S. And if he wants to bestow more, does he not leave the wholeness for that?

R. What does it mean that he wants to bestow more? He constantly has before him It's as it is written.That a sin is always before me, that he discovers more and more phenomena of the will to receive that it is him, the corrupted will to receiveAnd each time he has a possibility to rise above it and build instead of it the world to bestow.

S. While at the same time the new coarseness appears, the higher the greater desire, he still manages to maintain the desire of mercy?

R. Goes down, goes up, but he constantly tries to rise above the will to receive that is revealed.

S. So what is this always be wholeness, how do I realize always wholeness?

R. There’s always all these descents from below and ascents from above.

S. What is there all the time which doesn't change and what does change?

R. What doesn't change is that I am constantly drawn to be in increasing adhesion with the Creator, and what changes is that all the time the will to receive changes in me and it shows me how I need more and more to rise above it.

7. S. (21:37) You mentioned Moses and the Exodus that they were divided to camps of tens and hundreds of thousands and so on. How does it influence the system if it's in our time if it's one Kabbalist or 200 Kabbalists in attainment? how does it perhaps influence the world if it's 1, or 200 or 400?

R.The entire world is one system when the connection was broken between them This is called: The shattering and the sin and we need to try to put this connection back together with the help of the Creator, meaning that we discover how much we would have liked to be in connection between us and to make such a connection in every Ten between us so that each Ten will be as a single system as Ten Sefirot and later on we come together more and more and more.

S. This is more of a future question maybe but how does this influence the entire system?

R. Because we exist in the entire system even though we don't discover it, we don't know how it affects the system but each and every part of this integral system operates on the entire system and so if we will have a good correct connection between us in the Ten then for certain it influences all the other tens and the number of tens that we have is enough it's sufficient if we will reach a correct connection between us then it will influence the whole of humanity.

8. S. (23:41) What does it mean to go on the path with eyes shut?

R. Usually is that I don't ask about anything except for attaining connection.  That nothing else is important for me but only to attain the connection between us and the Ten or in a bigger group between 100 people or 10,000 people, it doesn't matter how many.

S. Everything depends on the connection between us basically?

R. Yes.

9. S. (24:22) You said before that the freedom of my desire is to go out to the desire of others which is really the Creator; now the power or the intensity is such that each time My will to receive keeps increasing and I'm in dialogue with respect to what's happening to me and what comes from outside which we identify as the Creator; now, where do I always determine what's right to do because the desire of others is not always precise?

R. You determine it and decide each time towards connection, towards connection that's it, upon all the conditions that are revealed you want to be connected more and more to the friends, for the time being this is enough.

S. When it's the work in the Ten it's fine but outside of the Ten?

R. We don't need to do it outside of the Ten, the most important is in the Ten, that you feel each and every day that you are coming closer in the connection between you and this is continuing and you're able to connect each and every time and in this way you can resolve all the problems that you have in the Ten and this is okay it's a good beginning.

10. S. (26:02) Is it possible to use what you have more than you need to exist for the benefit of others? When you have beyond your necessities, can you use that for the benefit of others?

R. You can use whatever you want for the benefit of others, each and everything. If it's truly for the benefit of others then there are no limitations.

11. S. (26:58) It turns out that we cannot just come out of our nature, we have to enter the rulership of the Creator?

R. We cannot get out of the will to receive because we are created beings, this is our nature but you can make of the will to receive a form of work where it will be as a bestower similar to The Creator.

S. What if I want to break loose?

R. You are welcome, go ahead but you don't need to come out of the will to receive the desire itself, it’s not good or bad it's a desire; how do you use it, for its own good or for the good of others this is what is called good or bad.

S. Not really because there are desires that are so bad that I would just like to get rid of completely

R. Get rid of them. Later on you will see that you have a state where you also have to bring them back to a certain extent so that nevertheless you can be connected with others in a good connection for the benefit of others. The question is not how do you call the desire, is it the will to receive or is it the will to bestow, the question is for whom, for the benefit of who do you use this desire. If I don’t have appetite that I cannot delight the host, that I regret it, how come I don’t want it, I don’t want to taste anything so how can I delight Him, meaning the will to receive on its own it’s neither bad or good but rather specifically through it we can bestow to others. “I created the evil inclination” that’s what the Creator says, this is creation, outside of Him, so precisely by it being the opposite the Creator we can make corrections that are for the Creator and become like Him and build ourselves from the will to receive build the same form of bestowal like the Creator who is the giver and then we will be next to the Creator out of a different substance.

S. Let's say I see qualities or desires in me that are harmful to others and we say it can be somehow used to bestow, I don’t understand, how?

R. If you will invert them to in order to bestow it will be to bestow, if you have something bad that you can do for someone else, you pray, you ask, through the society, around you, you draw the force of correction and that same will to receive if you wanted to use to harm another, now you can use it for the benefit of another, this is actually the correction. We have no choice, we’re always in the will to receive, the will to receive is not going to run away from us, the only question is the intention, how do I use it.

12. S.(31:23) What is it in that state where he needs no greatness, no nothing, but his just happy with his share?

R. That’s something else already, if I bestow, then I’m satisfied with as much I can bestow, but that comes later.

13. S.(31.50) How can I know if the desire I’m going to realize now is for the benefit of others or for the detriment of others?

R. You check it, in the society and you use the forces of the society, you’re not doing it on your own, you don’t go out and then do it like you may think now; then if it comes from the society, then for sure it’s toward bestowal.

S. Each time I need to stop the action for myself?

R. Of course!

S. How do you have the strength for that?

R. Ask.

S. From the friends, the Creator?

R. From the friends, from the Creator; you cannot do any actions on your own, there is no action on your own, the action has to come out of the Ten.

S. How do I clarify the desire before the action?

R. I don’t understand you.

S. I understand that the action, if I do an action that it comes from the Creator, but before I do the action I have all kinds of desires, all kinds of actions that I want in my ego, how do I know to clarify them and scrutinize them correctly?

R. You scrutinize it in the connection with the friends, because nevertheless you have to be connected with everyone, without the connection with the Ten you cannot perform an act of bestowal.

S. All the actions I'm going to be doing during the day are like in an auto-pilot that I live in. I always have to look from the side and see whether they’re actions I can also do through the society which will be called bestowal?

R. You’re talking in such a way that you’re confusing yourself.

S. How do I qualify this, how do I not get confused with myself?

R. You, first of all, have to connect with the Ten, and if you are connected with them, then you need to scrutinize the degree of mutual bestowal that you have within the Ten and then you can use it in order to rise higher.

14. S. (34:26) What does it mean with his share, the one who’s happy with his share, what is that share?

R. As much as he’s able to bestow, he’s happy about that. This is called: “happy with his share”. Of course, he doesn’t bestow like the Creator, but at least, to the extent that he can, he does.

15. S. (35:14) What is the freedom, is it choosing between two paths or we’re talking about freedom to love, meaning to give, to bestow?

R. The freedom to give, to bestow is only to the extent that you’re adhered with the Creator, He is the force of bestowal, so we do it through the group, when a person annuls before the group and then through it in such a way he receives the force of bestowal and he can already bestow.

S. When there's freedom, there's joy, joy in the relationship I reveal some reason that gives joy?

R. Course, there is an environment that gives you joy. You feel that you can connect with the Ten and together you can perform an act of bestowal, it brings joy. It’s called: “the joy out of good deeds”.

16. S. (36:51) I remember you said more than once that we are celebrating Independence Day. It's not the true Independence Day, it’s just a corporeal day, and we haven’t yet been rewarded with the spiritual Independence, meaning that we want to come out of the rule of Pharaoh. Do you see that we soon will be rewarded together to celebrate the Spiritual Independence Day?

R. We have to do everything in order to advance towards the concept of the true Independence Day, which is independence, freedom from the angel of death, as Baal Hasulam writes that we have to rise above our ego and this is how we achieve Independence where we are in adhesion to the will to bestow in the connection between us, so that we are connected in one heart, all of us together. This is called the state of independence, independence from in order to receive.

17. S. (38:34) Our starting point and destination are completely opposite, there are some full jumps on the path, basically it’s always gradual in the dosages of the will to receive, weaken and the will to bestow grows, but if I understood delight in He’s mercies in the one who feels good and justifies all these states?

R. Delight in Him mercy doesn’t justify as good in all of us with states, but rather, it doesn't demand anything for himself besides bestowing.

S. Meaning, in each of his states he just wants to bestow more?

R. Yes

S. Is there a phase where he does want to change; you say he is happy with his share, but he does want to change?

R. If he wants change then he’s no longer happy with his share.

S. What’s the destination because we’re still not there, what is the destination in this approach?

R. In this approach there is no destination, it’s a state, the destination is for us to reach a state where everyone will be in mutual bestowal and in the center of the mutual bestowal you will discover the Creator.

S. But we’re supposed to feel happy and whole even when we’re not there, as if we’re already there, right?

R. Yes.

18. S. (40:14) What does it mean to get rid of the desire, when I am not a master of my desires?, when a person receives a desire, not opposite to Love Your Neighbor as Yourself; how this person can delight in mercy?

R. If I’m connected to my friends and we can turn to the Creator and ask him for changes then we have no problem, of course we don’t have any good deeds, but rather, that we turn to the Creator and we ask of Him, and He arranges us. ….each and one of us that we’re not capable of doing anything good and we cannot do anything bad, we are only able within the same boundary within that same tolerance, that the Creator is allowing us to see our state to detect how much we are for or against the purpose of creation and according to that we can turn and ask, this is what happens to us. Our work is to connect in a request to the Creator to change our state and bring us closer to the purpose of creation, to the end of correction.

19. S.(42:27) It is still unclear to me, there is control of will to receive, and there is control of will to bestow which is the force of the Creator; when we are under the control of bestowal, where is man’s freedom here?

R. When we are under the rule to bestow then freedom is in our hand because we can expand the boundary of our bestowal more and more, to resemble the Creator more and more.

20. S. (43:20) In our Ten we always work to renew the connection, but it feels like beyond the framework, and there’s something more missing to really become incorporated with each friend and feel like myself, what’s missing in this transition to incorporation?

R. What’s lacking in the transition to incorporation, only that it is necessary, incorporation is necessary in order to go back to the system of The First Man, so that all of us will be as one man and one heart, that’s our goal, the purpose of our work, to cancel our will to receive, to change it, invert it, so that it will help us to be connected so much so that we will be with one heart.

S. How should I look at each friend?

R. He is a part of my system, without him I cannot reach the goal, without me he cannot attain the goal. So, we must be together; we don’t choose that but we learn that it is necessary. This is why, especially when we suddenly discover ourselves in a certain system, the group, the society which is all studying about the purpose of Creation, so we have no choice. I have to accept each and every friend as a part of my soul, and there’s no exception here.

S. When a friend lets say, still can’t hold on to the framework of the Ten, how do I accept him?

R. You have to correct him through your own correction. We learn that no one has free choice, the only choice is in the connection with the others and so as many part as we have we just need to be concerned about the correct connection among anyone, so that each one helps the others and by that we correct the system. We do not correct our mind, our brain, our liver, our hands, our legs, nor all the parts in the human body, we only correct the inter connections between them and then everything works out.

S. (46:42) What does it mean to settle for little, in what area in life do I need to settle for little?

R. That I don’t need anything for myself except to exist in order to care for others.

S. So this is about the corporeal, material world?

R. About the spiritual world, but we’ll see that later.

S. Because he writes that we have to settle for little in mind and heart

R. Yes.

Reading Excerpt # 2. (47:14) “ Covered Hassidim are called free..”

17. R. (48:22) This means that he is in a state where it is enough for him covered Hassadim. This is called the degree of the priest, Cohen, that is free, not enslaved in anything.

Reading Excerpt #3 (48:50) “If he cannot go above reason..”

18. R. (49:40) There are such cases in order to help the person to emerge from his situation he gets such a burdening with the two officers.

19. S. (50:00) How does this state of settling for little coincide with being always in adhesion, always increasing adhesion with the Creator?

R. I don't understand where is the contradiction here? I myself settle for little, I don't need anything for myself and whatever I have and each time it's even less and less.

S. And if pressures come to me from above all, kinds of things, I continue to be happy with the little I have, to scrutinize the state, somehow overcome. I can't stay where I am. What I am, I have to always move towards the Creator, the quality of bestowal that aims and directs me somewhere. How does it work with having to stay in the same state and being happy with your share?

R. I actually don’t understand, how can you explain it to me?

S. If I settle for little, I automatically put myself in this state where everything is okay, thank god like we know from other parts of the people and that yearning to increase in bestowal, to get closer to the Creator, push the friends in the ten, it's like two opposites, qualities that need to live in the person, how does it coincide?

R. Well to settle for little I'm talking only about myself but not in how I help the others. To settle for little refers to the person himself, personally, personally about the person that here if he does not demand anything more than the conditions required for his own existence: this is called two settle for little. But if he now needs the whole world in order to correct it, it's not considered that he is settling for little? Yes because he, for himself, settles for little.

Reading excerpt #4 twice. (52:45) “Even with this freedom that we have been granted,..”

20. R. (54:35) Yes, this is what is called freedom. When we see that the Creator fills the whole of reality and there is no place vacant from him.

21. S. (54:51) We say that delighted in mercy is that he settles for little, so where is the will to receive then if he settles for little?

R. The will to receive does not become refined, it remains in its place. However you might say that in what is the will to receive filled in a person because it doesn't disappear it remains, so how do we fill it up so that it will be satisfied.

S. But what is this vessel of this state that is delighted in mercy because it is bestowing in order to bestow, so where do you have the will to receive there?

R. Who is the one who wants to bestow the will to receive?

S. Where does it suddenly want to bestow, where does it come from?

R. From the Upper Illumination; from the Upper Light.

S. This illumination what does it cause? Doesn’t it want to receive anymore?

R. Yes, it doesn't want to, it prefers to be in the will to bestow.

S. How does he from the moment there is covered mercy - you don't want to receive anything anymore?

R. Not from this moment on but for the time being that is the state. I don't want to receive anything. I enjoy being delighted in mercy.

S. Why? What motivates you to that ? Why are you [...]

R. This is a state where I am similar to the Creator because I am delighted in mercy.

S. So why do you need then beyond that, afterwards?

R. Everything changes. All in all, it's one individual state out of all of the states.

S. Because delighted in mercy is not the goal of creation ultimately, so how from that state, how do you develop to something beyond?

R. The will to receive develops it becomes revealed more then I search, how can I work with it while equalizing with the Creator? It is like Bina, she doesn't want to receive anything but later on a greater desire develops within her and she becomes ZA and then Malchut.

S. What leads the person to want to be delighted in mercy because again it's not the goal that you are drawn to?

R. It's not the goal but without this quality I can't keep advancing. I must have such a state that I have to go through it that I am delighted in mercy. Why? I don't want anything, whatever I have that is good.

S. What do I acquire in that state that I have to go through it?

R. Besides the state itself, nothing. Otherwise it is not delighted in mercy.

S. And this is called bestowal towards the person. Is this already considered an action of bestowal if it isn’t delighted in mercy or not yet?

R. No, it's not yet bestowal.

S. Then what is it?

R. It's a part of the degree of Bina or GAR of Bina. Let's put it that way. We will talk more about it, we lack discernments for it but for the time being we go over all of these things a little bit, it's actually nice.

Reading Excerpt #5 (59:22) “What is freedom from the Angel of Death in the work..” Twice.

22. S. (01:02:32) How with the ever increasing evil inclination can we settle for little?

R. In the same form, that we don't want to be under the influence of the will to receive that becomes revealed.

23. S. (01:02:55) What does it mean the person rising above his will to receive?

R. That for him, it is more important to be in the will to bestow.

24. S. (01:03:05) And when you say that as long as we use what we have for others there are no limitations, what does that mean?

R. No limit for bestowal, you can bestow as much as you want.

25. S. (01:03:23) How do we clarify the quality of bestowal in the ten?

R. We cannot yet measure the extent of bestowal in the ten or in a person, it is impossible but now this is already in the degrees.

26. S. (01:03:44) So how do we identify the readiness or lack of readiness of a person's intention?

R. Lack of readiness or correctness in the intention, we can see that because our intentions do not bring us any revelation of Godliness.

27. S. (01:04:12) What's the difference between mercy and Lishma?

R. Well, mercy it's more that I don't want to receive anything for myself and Lishma is more generally that I want to perform all of my actions in order to bestow.

28. S. (01:05:22) How can one think that he's free when we learn that There’s None Else Besides Him? What state or what points do my thoughts and actions become separate from Him so that I feel that I am free?

R. Free means that I can be similar to the Creator and perform such actions; in that I feel myself as free.

29. S. (01:06:30) In item one, it says that man can feel wholeness because he is happy with his share. So with his share that we are talking about, is that the quality of bestowal?

R. Yes, but it's not complete, it's on the way.

30. S. (01:07:10) In item three, the guards take the person to a vacation, so I understand that they are taking from within reason to above reason, is that it?

R. Well, perhaps.
