Opening the locked gates - Selected Excerpts from the Sources. #

1. Rav’s Introduction: The locked gates are in the heart of each and every one, opening these gates, these emotions is possible only if we open them towards the group, the others and if each and everyone is trying to open up his heart to the friends inside his group, his personal group then through that, he begins to open his heart towards the Creator. That's why it says from the love of the created beings to the love of the Creator. It can't be any other way, so we don't need to be sad and drown in some negative bitter form. Rather, we have this mutual action, this mutual way to shake ourselves and bring ourselves closer to each other ,as little as that seems to us but in spirituality these are massive things.

Because we are the central sensitive part of creation and if we do such actions from zero, even from the opposite of spirituality and from somewhat of an inclination toward spirituality, even towards connection, even with our uncorrected intention, it still does a great impact throughout all the worlds. The lower we are, the more our tiny efforts make an impact, create a response above, so we should always appreciate our actions and multiply each and every action times the one hundred twenty five degrees there are between us and the Creator, us and Ein Sof. Only in that way, we can appreciate our actions that we were given to do, so don't waste any moment and don't be as a fool who sits in his own lap and eats his own flesh but rather a bit more and a bit more, one penny joins another until there's a great sum total and thus we will succeed. We will succeed.

Especially in the times we are undergoing now and as we work as people in some broad world and on the other hand, we are all drawn to one source, one center of the command center of all of reality. I'm happy to see you again and again every day here on the screens in front of me. I love you and I'm thankful to you for having such a serious opportunity for making such important steps in a group that is coming closer to the final correction, to the general correction of humanity. Because we are representatives of all nations and we feel how the Creator governs us and gradually transforms each and everyone of us a bit more and more in the right direction, correcting us unless we advance. There is still a path ahead of us but from day to day we have to try to see our progress and certainly relate it to the group and the Creator.

Reading excerpt # 5: (05:45) “It follows that when a person knows that he is wicked ...”

2. R. (08:03) Rav reads: When a person already knows that he is wicked, he went through some discernment already, he sees that he's thinking about himself and not others and he doesn't care about anything except for what he is going through. He imagines the next world for himself where it's him ain some beautiful positive way, so when he already knows that he's wicked and the wicked in their lives are called dead, when he has to come to realize that the fact that he's placed under the control of the will to receive, that's the meaning of wicked and that he sees everything this way. The will to receive separates him from the life of lives, from the Creator and he knocks about this and wants to repent, that's another question, why does he want the repentance? He wants to save himself from death, from blows, from distance, he wants everything to be better why does he want repentance?

That is he wants to be given help from above so he can emerge from self-love, otherwise it doesn't mean that he's asking because from above you only ask for the force of bestowal, only the force of bestowal and nothing besides that. Meaning not for myself I'm asking and only to receive the force of bestowal so that I'll be able to bestow to everyone and through everyone to the Creator. I have nothing to give the Creator himself, he doesn't have a lack, his whole lack exists in the created beings, if I take care of the created being if I relate to the created beings in the way that I want them to have it all, then by that I do good to the Creator. bBecause otherwise I don't have anything to give to him so what happens is he wants help to be given from above that he will be able to emerge from self-love, from thinking about himself at all, to not think about himself at all as if he doesn't even exist.

I'll be able to love the Creator with all his heart thus, so are we, do we really want to turn that way to the Creator and ask for that specifically? We should think about it and work on it because if not then the Creator will correct our request. So we already have something with which to turn to the Creator first of all, that we want to come to an urgency and necessity, the desire to love the Creator through the heart of each and every one and our common hearts together. With that we turn to him and ask him to give us such a desire, to give us such an ability and force, so that to ask him that he will correct our common heart.

So he feels he is wicked since where he should love the Creator, he loves himself so we will discover that we are wicked and that's already a great high degree, even though we think we are wicked. We always think about ourselves and not about the Creator or not about the friends, not about anyone and yet we feel that opposite the goal that we should achieve, which is not thinking about ourselves, thinking about the Creator, rising above our egoistic desire and only aiming ourselves towards love of others. From love the created being to love of the Creator. It follows that his knocks, we understand that he does what he can to make the Creator bring him closer and take him out of the control of his own evil.

This is called real tears, this is if he asks for the Creator to take him out of the will to receive, out of thinking about himself all the time and having no possibility of thinking about anyone and no desire, no ability and he's really placed under his will to receive, his thoughts and what does he have left? He sees how he has no means to rise above his ego and then what he has left is only to cry, crying means recognition that there's something very important to him and yet he can't achieve it. It's his true personal tragedy and from lack of strength and lack of force to come to something, to come out of this state, he cries.

Meaning the true state of Katnut, infancy, that's called real tears, it doesn't necessarily mean you need to physically cry with water coming out of your eyes. Rather that feeling that you are detached from the most important thing and you can't attain it with all your strength, you have no chance, this is the meaning of what we explained. Open the gate for us when the gate is locked, meaning this is the state where he is shown how everything is closed before him and he has no chance to reach spirituality, no chance and yet this is the moment where he can cry and ask and reach the true scrutiny and demand that the gate will be opened.

This is called open the gate for us when a gate is locked, since he sees that all the gates are closed he begins to knock it follows that at the time of the locking of the gate, when he’s already prayed and was notified the reason of the sin, which is due to his will to receive, that it cannot overcome, that he cannot defeat. Then he begins to shed real tears, meaning that he wants it so bad and he sees that he cannot achieve it on his own at that time, his knocks are regarded as tears. This is the meaning of who opens the gate to those who knock in repentance, meaning that his requests are like tears and then it's open before him,he's given connection, contact even in the lowly, far state from the Creator, he's given some contact and he begins to absorb forces to overcome from the Creator and then overcome these gates.

3. S. (17:51) We say open for us and on his behalf he says open for me an opening at the tip of a needle. What is the opening that we need to make and how do we make it?

R. With our efforts we need to reach a state where we really want to receive forces of bestowal by which we open the gate, meaning to the extent that we can demand forces to bestow, to be sorry for not having the force of bestowal then the gate opens up. It's not at once, this is the most difficult state because it's the transition between two worlds, our egoistic world and the altruistic spiritual world, the Upper world of the Creator. There are many states here, we pass through them even though we are unaware of that but the gate of tears is the last gate and it's a very difficult gate.

S. It felt as subjugation?

R. Yes.

4. S. (19:30) You talked about gates that are locked and our efforts and our shame does not enable us to enter or to cry out, what do we do when we see that all the gates are locked and …?

R. Because you don't connect sufficiently amongst you in order to achieve prayer, in order to open the gate,the gate opens if you come to a true request. A true request cannot be from each one individually but from all of you as one and of course all of you also can't connect yet but still you can try and then from above so to speak, this is received and weighed and then it's opened up. The request has to be mutual and from all of you as much as possible from each and every heart and towards a single place, which means that you're knocking for an answer, that you want to reach the Creator repentance Shuva means Tshuv Hey, the Hey is the last letter of the word of repentance in Hebrew and it returns to relate to the Vav which implies that Malchut relates to Zeir Anpin because Malchut is a Hey and Zeir Anpin is Vav.

5. S. (21:49) What is the state that I feel like hanging on the air like emptiness? I feel no pain, no pleasure, just desire to disappear or cancel, what is the state?

R. That state is that you're closed inside yourself, try to open yourself up, towards the friends and then you will see how suddenly your personal heart even opens up and you begin to feel what you lack in order to touch the Creator.

6. S. (22:44) How to really knock on these gates to influence the Creator and awaken him and not just to the quality of bestowal where you feel lighter and freer and you are not bothered by all the concerns of this world, how to make it for the Creator?

R. To reach the gate is not simple, also to face the gate is not like this moment where we come and knock and we get in rather it's a process and a very complicated process with many actions. There are many actions that we go through as we go through the gate, we have to examine ourselves, what we actually want, for whom and for what are we aimed and how we need to concentrate our efforts in the ten. Connect all the friends together to clarify between us how we're in a single direction and so on, to make ourselves like like an army force, like an attacking force and from all of us together internally and more and more to aim ourselves to the Creator if we connect between us then from from that connection we have to aim ourselves to the Creator.

If we're not sufficiently connected we have to aim our hearts more and more to be as one man in one heart and aim ourselves to the Creator Then after such a few such actions we come to a state where the Creator opens up to us and the truth is he always opens up to us a bit more and a bit more but we just don't feel these things Because we each time we receive burdening of the heart, all kinds of disturbances and it's all for us to direct ourselves even more, to aim towards him even more and that's the work.

S. If the translation is correct as written here that the gates are not locked but rather they are being locked so it turns out that if we read what is written that the prayer brings to those states that were open before, to close, what is that effect?

R. I don't know exactly what was translated there. I can't see it, I don't see anything besides the source.

S. Open gates during the locking of the gates.

R. That's a different thing, it's not what it's about, we'll talk about that, what I'm discussing is that we are facing the locked gates and by our efforts between us we force the opening of the gate so that we can enter the world of bestowal, the world of connection and so forth. So no, I'm not looking at what you are reading there.

7. S. (27:08) It comes up interesting that what beforehand pressured us and we hated and we couldn't get along with, all of a sudden inverts and we suddenly want to love it, we want to care, to bring it to correction and so on. Is that the period that we're talking about?

R. Well yes, he writes to us that is also written in the Zohar that when they begin to connect everyone seems hostile, enemies, like enemies hateful towards each other, want to kill each other and then by the study as they awaken the light that reforms, they come to connection and love and accordingly advance towards the Creator.

8. S. (28:18) How can we avoid asking for the next world for ourselves the moment we ask to exit the will to receive?

R. Repeat please.

S. We, in the prayer that we want to exit ourselves, can fall in the mistake of asking for the next world for ourselves egotistically.

R. Correct, so what's the question?

S. So how do we avoid that?

R. That's not something you can avoid. In the meantime, we still just ask only for ourselves as much as we say it's not, it's still for our own benefit. The Creator ultimately, after we make all kinds of actions of connections between us, against our ego, above our ego. That's what the Creator takes into account and it turns out that if we try to come closer to each other then the Creator corrects us and gives us a positive force, the force of bestowal, the force of connection. Before we receive from the Creator the force of connection, we can’t ask for it or we ask for the force of connection in order to benefit in our egoistic forces. It's okay, it's like little kids who do all kinds of mistakes, they break things down, they make a mess but that's how they grow.

So we can make all these actions and it is considered actions of correction because it's not up to us, it's up to the Creator who wants us to advance this way from the opposite forms, opposite to Kedusha and then gradually come closer to Kedusha. In spirituality we are really going through the stages like in corporeality, like the baby that grows and develops and then becomes a great, becomes an adult. So we're not being taken into account like adults for our actions but rather like children, like little ones, what can we do. That's how it is, we're in the hands of those of our caregivers and those caregivers grow us and take care of us and they are the forces of nature that are loyal to the Creator.

9. S. (32:20) Why is our heart closed, for what purpose is it closed?

R. Our heart is closed, this means that it's all in the force of our ego which to begin with the Creator created like that, why? For us to reveal the true reality, the true world from the opposite form and therefore we remain created beings and we're only becoming similar to the Creator. This is called Adam, from the word Domeh, similar to the Creator and we can't ever be in a will to bestow like the Creator, we can only have a will to receive that corrects itself to be similar to the form of bestowal otherwise we have no existence, if we leave our will to receive who will we become? The will to bestow is the Creator and the will to receive is the creation and if you take away the will to receive from the created being then there's no created being.

10. S. (34:10) I heard you yesterday saying that we cannot open the gates. How do you know that we are managing through the ten to open the gates?

R. We can see the gates, today you are in a society and you all hear that there is the commandant to connect to each other so that you're all as one man in one heart and if you try, you'll then feel where the gate is, that the gate is between us, between you and the resistance that's between you, the resistance to connect between you is the gate. Then when you connect more and more and more you'll feel that you also resist the Creator, that you don't want to resemble him because the Creator is already the mutual absolute bestowal between you. So it turns out that going through the stages is very difficult and then that's how you feel what you have to go through in order to reach adhesion with the Creator and resemble the Creator.

11. S. (36:09) Is it necessary to come to or go through the gate of tears when we go through states of separation each time?

R. If you will not reveal the Gate of Tears, the deficiency against the true feeling that you're repelling each other and don't want to connect then you don't have, you won't have a Kli. A Kli in which to receive the spiritual revelation and that's even the case in our world. If there is any phenomena, that the phenomenon appears through something and its opposite, how much we don't want it and yet we must and that's what becomes revealed as the spiritual Kli. In our world, we want something, that they want something. Maybe now I'm not going to be given that but I want something. In spirituality both of these forces are inside of me, both want something and to resist it and I have to be the owner of these two forces and then I govern, I direct myself to reach closer to the truth, that means that I built the Kli in faith above reason, bit by bit we will come to the establish the right Kli.

12. S. (38:27) Before we knock on the gate why is it important for us to feel the wicked?

R. So what are you asking for? Why what do you need to rise for?

S. I wanted to know why we needed to feel worse more worse than everyone else, that I love myself more than all the rest of the people in the world?

R. You want to reach truth, truth means you have to rise above your nature the first being neutral. Meaning not to belong to the will to receive or the will to bestow and then from that neutral state you choose that you want to be like the Creator that's the desire to bestow that's how you’ll go through these phases. Whether we like it or not we’re going to choose it there's nothing here that we're actually choosing rather the Creator chooses for us as it says the Creator puts man's hand on the good fate and says take it and it's only up to the person to strengthen in that.

S. You said that we need to have the force to want and what is the force that generates this togetherness that transforms this?

R. That's not understood, it's not clear what he's asking. What is the force that makes what, that makes us differentiated from that one?

S. No, you said that we need to have the force to ask for something but that, also stop ourselves from this request, so what can transform these things?

R. I don't understand I don't understand nonetheless what you’re saying nevertheless maybe one of your friends can ask in your place, I don't understand. Your question it's like you're cutting something from a sentence that's not clear.

S. When these two opposite forces there's a force that is beyond these forces. What is that force that is beyond the two opposite forces?

R. There's the desire to receive and there’s desire to bestow there's no third force, those two forces operate in a person because the Creator brings a person the force of bad. As what's written that the person's nature from his youth is evil then he gradually adds to him the force of good the force of bestowal and a person needs to discern within them what’s the force of reception, what's the force of bestowal. That the force of bestowal comes from above and the Creator chooses to rule the world because it's His force and gives a person the possibility to choose, that is our free choice in which we can choose the force of bestowal and try to ascribe ourselves to Him That’s why we were given life and then we connect between us and study and here we are already talking about prayer about the action that’re asking for the Creator to give us the force of bestowal.

S. My question is a bit different I'll try to rephrase it. I meant to say is usually we can't stop ourselves from certain desires as he said we need to want but also pluck the balance between these two things to make them as one. What kind of force does that generate, what kind of benefit, so that we can receive this balance and not fall into the desires?

R. That could be the group, study, and our efforts that's it.

13. S. (44:41) This force you talk of it exists, the more you are in unity the more you try to feel this state inside your heart and the more I try to listen to it and to feel it the more I want it the more I make actions towards this state to feel this different thing. I also have no feeling of it.

R. Excellent it's in order for you to ask more that you're really close and I'm telling you’re close and that feeling is so that you will ask more. As much as a person comes closer to the gate to the transition to in order to bestow then he has greater problems in locating himself that he’s close to it.

S. The truth is I feel like I'm hanging in the air, I also don't know how to ask.

R. You don't know how to ask because the request has to come from the ten.

14. S. (46:28) You said in the beginning that the spiritual process goes through each and every one's heart and our hearts together. I'm asking what is this collective heart? There is sometimes a feeling where there is no individual work at all because Baal HaSulam talks about a person as a ten?

R. Of course we're talking about the ten in Kabbalah, we don't talk about the individual person, an individual person is not the desire that the Creator feels therefore we are screaming from our individual heart and it's not felt above only from the ten the ten is considered one unit, so let's reach it.

S. If we say the Creator appears in the connection between us and there are two gates and everything happens there it seems

R. Right but we can't identify it in such a way to turn to the Creator from the ten to ask Him to give us connection with all that we have in the ten all kinds of people that are like this and like that and this one's this way this one's like that way, if I were asking for connection as he who makes peace in the heavens will make peace upon us so that in such a way as he's capable, as we should be, He gathered us He brought us closer and we are together in one pot or in one basket and He actually needs to connect between us such that all together one common force will emerge from us from which we will turn to the Creator Himself from here on.

S. With respect to spirituality is there even any calculation with the individual in the ten or only the state of his ten or the connection of the ten work of the ten?

R. Yes, the fact that we’re saying the fact that we say in Kabbalah and spirituality that a person bestows it means that he's incorporated with his ten and through his ten in connection with them he is bestowing to the Creator but not when he's alone.

S. If a person needs to reach a state where he melts dissolves into the ten, there’s no me there, there's just a ten and that's it?

R. Nice.

S. Is there any calculation besides what a person does to melt himself, dissolve into the ten. Does that even matter beyond that?

R. It matters because besides his annulment towards the ten he also has forces to operate towards the ten not just that he's deluding himself or annulling himself he also needs to operate actively.

S. How after a person doesn't identify himself anywhere, only sees the ten, how can he now go back to doing something that’s now me working, it's unclear what's left of the personal, of the person, of the individual that he can then ask for after he sees that the ten is working?

R. Specifically through annulling himself in the ten through the act of annulment he nullifies his ego he's annulling his ego not nothing else, not qualities, nothing, only the desire to use in order to receive and then he absorbs from the ten all the forces that are in them and then he uses from all these forces that he absorbs from them in order to bestow, also his annulment within the ten is in order to bestow it gives them his forces to use. Annulment is not something that I'm dead, annulment is where I'm willing to nullify all my intentions because they’re in order to receive, and to use all my forces and your forces and the forces of the ten if I will be able to do it in order to bestow, annulment is like restriction.

S. If there are ten different friends in the ten, they're different, let's say each ones doing the work and his personal heart each one grabs hold of the ten and nullifies before it, so the work is the individual work of the person who captures the ten inside of him where there is no individual and there's just one ten that's working?

R. There's this and that meaning on one hand at any given moment each person is a new person and he needs to annul himself again and again, that’s on one hand, on the other hand every given moment that he annuls himself he is incorporated into everyone identifies with everyone and operates together with everyone integrally.

S. I want to ask about this issue of that one feels himself as wicked. If you're in a certain state you know that all the friends are doing a certain action and you're not doing it right now, you really want to join them but you can't move, you just can't, I don't know it's like being frozen I can't even explain why. In that state where you truly want to join them and you feel frozen, how’s that different from the fool who sits in his own lap and eats his own flesh as opposed to the wicked that ultimately leads to an eruption?

R. The difference in the desire. The fool who sits and just wallows in his sorrows is not annulling anything and here you're talking about person who really wants he just doesn't know how to do it, how to nullify, how to operate, how to connect, but he wants, these are two very distant things from one another.

S. The state where you feel frozen is a very unique state, you want and you can't. What do you do in that state where you want and you can't?

R. To nullify himself towards the friends and do together with them what they’re doing.

S. You said that first we need to be in the neutral state not belonging to the will to bestow or the will to receive and then from that neutral state we choose to be like the Creator. The question is what is that in your neutral state and how do you come to it?

R. The question is right just how to how can I, there are several states in that neutral state where a person annuls himself and doesn't even want to feel or think or observe himself in any possible way all together, neutral in the fact that he wants to work and is aimed with his desire to receive as neutral meaning to be to belong to the whole group and participate in them and what they call upon him, what decide for him, they oblige for him, decide for him.

S. They're determined for him

R. And he only does the act of annulment and more and more.

S. This is a neutral state, I didn't understand. Is the beginning of a neutral state when the person canceled himself in the ten?

R. So what state are you exactly asking about?

S. The state that you've described before you said a state we need to achieve a neutral state, not to belong to the will to receive, not to the will to bestow, and only from that place we begin to choose to be like the Creator. What is that state?

R. That's considered standing in the opening, in the orifice of spirituality and opening to those who are repentant the gates to repentance.

S. How do you come to that neutral state? How do you grab hold of it this giant moment that you're not here and not there?

R. Only in annulment that's the moment in which you come to complete annulment.

S. It's a moment that you can persist in this neutral moment? It's a fragment? How does it work?

R. It's a transition from loving himself to loving the Creator.

15. S. (57:21) How do we provide the activation energy which is necessary for the inner leap that will lead ourselves toward repentance so we make this leap? Is it up to us?

R. Yes yes it depends on us it’s written about that one will help his friend, that we through envy, lust, and honor between us those forces, those egoistic forces we can come to a state in which we must rise above our ego and come to in order to bestow. The desire to receive itself helps us exit it, it's called a help against him.

16. S. (58:24) We knock and cry from choice from desire or only after we've experienced the death of evil? Can I now knock or we need to wait for the cry to be completely born within us?

R. We don't know what state we're in, try to perform the correct actions from every state that you are in.

17. S. (59:06) I always hear that I need to turn to the Creator through the ten. I want to try to turn to the Creator through the ten, what’s step one? What do I need to think about or maybe depict to myself?

R. Just be with a ten all the time the more you connect with them the more you'll go through all these states that’s it, through the ten to the Creator this is actually the way you should aim yourself every given moment to connection to them and through them a connection to the Creator, nothing but that we don't need anything else.

18. S. (59:52) You answered the friends that every disturbance every separation is the place of the Kli to turn to the Creator and keep going, so I wanted to ask in the mind I get it but the moment there is an appearance of this state or another I can never relate to it as a Kli the nature just controls you and you respond as a beast to anything, so how do you work with it, how can we actually start taking control of these two forms?

R. I don't know what to tell you, this is work  actually especially for you it's hard we need to try to connect ourselves to bind ourselves and connect to the group there's nothing to say I have nothing else to recommend or what to suggest.

19. S. (01:01:21) There's in the ten an initiative to make an action of connection now, this initiative brings up many scrutinies and frictions, how do you use this in the right way?

R. I don't know guys you are in a state which all of these writings all the guidance is already open before you just to implement try to implement it in a more and more practical way where you are and that's it, I don't have anything else to reveal, as far as the advancement on the path you received and you have before you everything, it's not like something was hidden from you or concealed from you or not written we can open it, we can open the book of Zohar and read it there in a different way in a different language the same steps that we are going through but eventually this is what we have.

S. Typically before an action of connection is it natural to have frictions and hatred and...?

R. Also after you are starting to connect there’ll be clashes because each time deeper desires will be awakened and they’ll reveal the deeper and deeper shattering and this is how it will be until the end of correction and the more we come closer to the end of correction we will discover the shattering and a greater manner.

S. Is every action of friends with a point in the heart that they initiate together and want it to bring them closer, is that already considered a spiritual action or it can just be some social action?

R. It can be both social and spiritual, truly spiritual is where we annul their ego and they connect in order to bestow to one another and to the Creator.

20. S. (01:03:50) You have said something important that in annulment it’s not that I am not doing anything, annulment is that I am doing actions of connections even though I have resistance it’s not something like I’m dead, but the important thing is that if I do not see any resistance and I feel that I do not belong to the will to receive or not the will to bestow and you also said that in the neutral zone a person chooses to be similar to the Creator but it also doesn't exist an example of the Creator to lean on. I hope it's clear but this is the question.

R. I didn’t understand what you’re asking in the end there, we didn't understand the end there and what you're asking. Well it’s not important, try please.

S. What I'm trying to say is that in the neutral zone you said about and person doesn't belong to the will to receive or not the will to bestow and this is the place of true choosing and a person chooses to be similar to the Creator but in order to choose to be similar to the Creator I have to see the example of the Creator or action of the Creator and I have to see myself and through that gap I have to choose but if I don't see example of the Creator what should I do?

R. Then how can you be given an example if you're still in your desire to receive rather you need to perform actions against your will to receive and those will be acts in order to bestow that are correct.

S. Where are the friends here in this process?

R. You will perform these actions with the friends.

S. Is it only dependent on me? So if I do everything I have to do it's okay or if it's not enough if I do everything I have to do, they also have to do what they have to do, so is my work dependent on them completely?

R. No it all depends on you, the Creator's showing you the friends in such a way that you need to see in order to correct yourself.

S. So they're inside me actually, I have to reveal this?

R. Yes

S. Also the barrier we’re talking about is my illusion of self existence?

R. Everything is correct, yes, it's all in you don't put this on anyone else.

Reading excerpt #6: (01:07:22) “We should know that of those who want to come into the work of the Creator ...” Twice.

21. R. (01:07:54) Adhesion is considered that I truly want to be like Him to adhere to His measures, His qualities.

R. (01:10:08) Like everyone.

23. R. (01:10:48) Yes in this way the Creator each time more and more makes it harder for a person, he wants to grow a person so he will move from degree to degree and acquire each time both the feeling and the intellect of the Creator.

24. S. (01:11:04) Why did the Creator send us these disturbances that are each time greater?

R. In order to raise us in higher degrees. How in our life every place that you go to acquire something a profession or something then you need to take upon yourself more and more work responsibilities et cetera that's how it is in spirituality everything is built upon the will to receive, for or against, with this intention with another intention but it's all built upon the desire to receive.

S. Is it possible that there are desires that I thought that I passed but they push me to an even stronger relation?

R. This happens all the time where it says as if it's just coming back in again and again coming back it's not coming back it's returning but in a higher degree each time, desires do not return, you go through them either you went through them well or you didn't go through them well whether successfully or not but you're finished with them you don't come back to them, it seems to you that you're going back but all together it's not because every moment a person is in a new desire.

25. S. (01:13:12) About these tests that the Creator is putting us through when will these tests be over and can you help a friend go through the test?

R. Don't confuse the friend, do what's put on you to do and when will this pass, in the end of correction and if you feel that these examinations are not taking place to you then it's a sign you're not doing anything.

26. S. (01:14:14) It is a difficult question but I will try to keep it short. About the desire that is written here and what you said a bit earlier that the ten needs to become one whole. Something like that. So in this context what is more right to calibrate myself to as a plan for life. There are two possibilities: one, is to pray for the friends everyday, maybe till the end of my life and not do anything but that or the second option is to accept this and to calibrate myself that here today I will discover the Creator and reach the final correction. How should we aim ourselves so the ten will become one?

R. To aim oneself correctly is considered that you first of all aim yourself to operate through the ten and to bring contentment to the Creator. That's it, those two stations must be before you. That is it. No more and no less.

S. There is so much of everything…

R. Don't get confused, don't get confused. There's nothing complicated here; you just need to hold yourself all the time in this direction: to the group and through the group to the Creator where the Creator is in the center of the group. You can't be aimed at the Creator if you are not binding yourself to the ten. That is the biggest problem because it disperses us. It takes us out of balance. If it's me and the Creator it's clear to me because I have inside of me this form, this picture but if it's me and the ten it is not clear to me. But if, specifically, if you associate yourself with the ten eventually you have no choice but to be in bestowal towards them, otherwise you cannot connect to them, so you open yourself up, you dilute yourself, you spread yourself, you connect to the ten in such a way where you completely lose your I, there, in such a way, you find the Creator.

S. That is exactly what I want to ask. What you have just explained it's clear. I feel it, I understand it, I have no question about it. My questions are that when the intention is clarified everyday again and again you reach the thought that everything we need for the advancement of the ten that the best thing I can do is prayer and a personal example. So according to that, why am I told that I am even waiting for these great pleasures in the upper world? Why do I need all this? This is when I awaken, when I start asking the questions or receive something very precious, so all these thoughts, what do I need them for if my purpose is to pray for the friends everyday and feel them?

R. Don't put that in your head. A time will come when you will start receiving it and accepting it naturally. It will be closer to you, more understood, more felt and then it will be absorbed.

27. S. (01:19:45) It's written “when a person knows he is wicked” how can he know he is wicked if he did not reach revelation yet?

R. He should try to examine himself and to see how much according to the same rules he heard and read in the books of Kabbalah. Who is see? A righteous or a wicked? He should examine it.

28. S. (01:20:19) Will I always have something to repent for though I know everything comes from him? Where is me agreeing to His desire?

R. You are agreeing with his desire? No one needs your agreement. You are allowed to see more and more laws of nature. You hear that? Laws of nature and you should accept them and keep if you want to exist in this nature that is now being revealed to you. If you do not accept them you are lowered to a lower degree and you are left there. Until when? Infinity, the Creator has time, He is above time and space, that is why if you want to advance you have no choice but to agree to the conditions that are being revealed to you every time more and more and that's it. You are not being asked if you want it or not. You are led to get to know it, you accept it, go ahead, you don't, you go down.

29. S. (01:21:36) What does it mean to ascribe ourselves to the Creator? How do we do it in the group?

R. When I go into the group and I annul in the group completely and then by that I start discovering my holding point in the Creator, the place I hold the Creator.

30. S. (01:22:18) The more I ask the Creator for Connection in the ten the more resistance I feel. What will happen if I keep going?

R. It doesn't matter. Whatever you feel, that is not interesting. What is interesting is what you are doing. Are you advancing even though you're not feeling good? That is what is taken into account.

31. S. (01:22:44) The feeling of happiness and annulment in the group, is it the right path to work in the group?

R. Yes, that too is correct because it comes to show us the attitude.

32. S. (01:23:07) Can I let myself let the Creator open the gates for me if I see myself flawing in every action I do?

R. Yes, asking is always possible.

33. S. (01:23:20) How does the true state of tears become a general state in the ten and not personal to each and everyone on our own. How does it feel in the ten?

R. To the extent we connect between us this already starts being incorporated between us.

34. S. (01:23:44) How practically to raise a prayer from the heart of the ten, how do you actually reach it?

R. That we all want it to be this way, our prayer, our common prayer, rising from the center of the ten directly to the Creator.

35. S. (01:24:08) Yesterday a friend asked us: what does it mean to open the hearts towards the friends? We tried to answer but we felt there was more depth. Can you tell us what it means to open the hearts to the friends?

R. That we all want one goal, to discover the Creator and adhere to Him. Adhering to Him means we are reaching the force of bestowal and this force of bestowal should be first of all between us and between us and the Creator and the truth is that from between us we don't need be aimed at the Creator anymore if in between us we are in the common force, mutual bestowal to each other then the Creator is already between us and he is revealed bit by bit in the central point of the connection of the ten. The connection between us.

36. S. (01:25:15) The Gate of Tears, is that when I ask for correction the desire that is in the middle that is causing me pain?

R. Yes.

37. S. (01:25:26) Is my ego those locks?

R. Yes. Yes.

38. S. (01:25:45) How can we in the ten recognize the will to receive that is slowing down as reaching unity in order to reach the Gate of Tears. What is the order of the work?

R. The order of our work is that we connect between us and we are looking for a common prayer and the Creator is already answering this common prayer.

39. S. (01:26:18) In number six he relates to the big chariots. What does that mean?

R. That is something we will learn in the Zohar. What are these Partzufim that are called great chariots
