1.Rav’s Introduction: The time has come for us to study this. There are times for this, for that. There is a time for each and everything and even though we have a general plan, at least I have a plan according to which we need to advance. However, this plan nevertheless is stretched out over all the days of the year. There are times that dictate for us a new kind of study during those times. Let's say in Between the Straights that we now have been through, and we are approaching the end of it, to the Ninth of Av. During these times it is customary to study what is rooted to the upper root, what is being dictated for us. During these times, there is a diminished illumination from above over those who yearn for the Creator, over those who study the Wisdom of Kabbalah. Therefore, we specifically need to learn about that. Opposite that, there are actually times that are for the better, where we can learn about things that are more joyous. So each and everything is in its time and nevertheless, also in our world, has a root and branch. We have such times, such conditions and therefore it is worthwhile for us to use them also. With Rabash we were also in such states that we were studying this, even though we were not in certain events that usually are attributed to in Between the Straights and the Ninth of Av.
Nevertheless, we do need to connect to that same root because it is influencing us and the whole world. Therefore, ask questions and we will scrutinize it. We don't have a lot of time or materials left. Let's hope that we will finish it, complete it and go back to our usual track. This is actually what I would like to say and if there are no questions then we will follow the excerpts. We need to realize that these times, it is not ‘times’. it is a kind of ‘upper lights’ that shine on the people who are related to it and on the whole world. Therefore during these times, and we can also see it according to history, it was not a nice and good time. Usually in our history according to tradition, let's say, we don't have any weddings or any happy events during these times. But everything passes and in a couple of days it will pass by Sunday. On Monday we can already begin to be under a different kind of influence, a better one from above. According to that we will also study new materials and we will rise to perform actions of joy and connection. The sorrow of divinity is that after the sin of the Tree of Knowledge when the system of Adam HaRishon, the general system of the soul, the general vessel that the Creator created, this system disintegrated and then the upper light that was filling this whole system, even though it was all from above.
That is, without a desire, a deficiency from below, it was a light that, even though it was filling up the whole desire which is considered that it was filling up the whole reality, it did fill it up, but this light was small. Without appetite, without a desire, without a deficiency from the lower one, the light appears in a very simple form. That is, not with intensity because all of the intensity comes when it is being drawn and it is desired. When we pray and demand, and if not that, then it appears in such a way that it seemingly exists in a state that we call Nefesh, Ruach. Meaning that it exists until they will want it, until they will ask for it. As we are now in a state where the whole world doesn't feel that there is any kind of awakening. Even though it is coming to it, it doesn't yet discover that this is an awakening from above and that all the troubles that we feel in this world are because the upper lights more and more appear from above and we have no desire for them from below. Therefore, because of the contrast, the oppositeness between the lights, between the good fulfillment that we get from above and our opposite desires that are scattered below. In the oppositeness between these two we feel ourselves in the state of deterioration, a state of pressure. This is why in every bad state we need to realize that bad also comes from the fact that something good comes from above. From above something good always comes, however we're not worthy of receiving it from below correctly. We haven't prepared ourselves for it and therefore we feel it as bad. It depends on the desire, on the vessels, of the lower ones. This is why these times, which are called the Times in
Between the Straights (Bein HaMetzarim), we need to turn it into a time for the preparation of our vessels for the light that is standing opposite of us, in front of us or above us and it is felt in us as darkness because our vessel cannot discover it in any other way. But it in itself, is ready to be revealed in us in its full strength and in its nice good intensity.
Therefore, we need to understand that all of the darkness, the falls are a preparation for the reception of the light, for the reception of the fulfillment, adhesion with the Creator, to come closer to Him. To see all of the world from one end to the other, to feel the entire eternity and nature when we get rid of this planet. Meaning from the will to receive for oneself, and then we also join the complete full, eternal life and that we are truly among all of these forces that are filling up the vessel of Adam HaRishon. We need to do it and this is why we should understand that the exile that we feel from spirituality is an opportunity for redemption and that specifically through that we prepare our vessels and this is how we advance. I think that we will now go over these things and we will see it. I would like just to give you the general direction of how to look at the entire process. That even though we are in the worst states because we understand where it is coming from, we need to discover in each and every state the necessity for it to happen. For that state to happen, its purpose, what it is bringing us to. What we gain by being in that state and how we can use it to take advantage of it in the most beneficial manner for us. How to shorten the time that we are immersed in it and to extract from it the maximum benefit to prepare the vessel.
All in all, all of the exiles, all of the falls are in order to prepare a vessel. The more we will understand and attain the sorrow that is more purposeful, deeper. Within the sorrow, we will also reach a stage where we are blessing the Creator for these vessels that He is now awakening in us. That all of the bad is for us to attain the good through it. Then, certainly, we will bless over the bad as over the good and in that way we will advance. Therefore, a person, the more he corrects himself even though he falls into the worst possible states, if the Creator does not disconnect him all together -- and there is such state, as we saw them, so if he is not altogether disconnected, then he should try with all of his strength to thank the Creator for the revelation of the broken vessels that are now occurring in him. He already prepares himself out of the sorrow, out of the feeling of hunger to the good states, as much as he will be able to reach in order to bestow and enjoy the fact that lights are passing through him to the friends and to the Creator. We will see it in the excerpts. If there are any questions, go ahead and we will scrutinize them.
2. S. (12:45) What comes up from what we learned is that the darkness is actually very close to the light even though it seems different. Can you expand on that?
R. Because it is the same thing however it appears in us in the opposite form because of the lack of our vessels from the side of the Creator there is no darkness. He is shining to us a light of bestowing, a light of love, a light of connection and to the extent that we are not yet ready we discover it back side, its posterior and this is the feeling of distancing, of a fall, a lack of strength, a lack of desire, etc. However, in that too we should see in this posterior, the Creator’s good attitude to us. That he is Awakening in us a desire, a bad feeling and we identify with it that this is also coming to us from the Creator, Who in such a way wants to awaken within us an appetite for a connection with him and a connection with a light.
S. If we really do this, doesn’t it cause us suffering because it feels terrible sometimes?
R. Why should it be suffering? I understand we go through all kinds of states. In the beginning we may not prescribe it precisely to the Creator and to our progress. We don't understand that the progress should also be with the left, not just with the right. Then we cannot yet control our desires, our forces, that we cannot yet rise above our desire. We are still immersed in the desire like a baby, let’s say, who whatever he feels is what he can express. However, as we grow up, we already have seemingly two layers of sensation. One is what we feel inside, what we are aware of and this is the person who is living inside of himself. Also, something from the outside, whatever one discovers with respect to the environment. So, we already divide ourselves into two. What is pushing us to divide ourselves into two? The ego. The pride that develops. This ego says the following: whatever you feel, you feel it, you have no choice because this is you. However, how can you appear before the others? You need to keep the envy, lust and honor. You need to achieve for yourself money, honor and knowledge. Therefore, you need to behave differently on the outside from how you are on the inside. Therefore, we see human beings, how they feel something inside and how they are not aware exactly of what they are feeling inside. What it is for or for what purpose. Also, the way that they connect with the people on the outside. It is a whole world of whatever is outside of them. They connect outside only in a form of maintaining themselves in an egoistic form that is convenient for them. A person seemingly has two layers, and when we are in the spiritual process, we need to use both. The inner layer in which we feel ourselves, and also the outer layer where we connect with the friends in a different way, only for the purpose of the goal. What can we have here which will be for the purpose of the goal? Inside, for myself, I don't just allow myself to be under the sensations that I feel each and every moment that is happening within me. Rather, I have to arrange them properly as much as possible to be close and directed toward the goal. Certainly, when I behave with the external world, the broad world, where I need to exist for the time being, the most important for me is my existence in the group. How do I make the group so that we will be as one man in one heart, that this will be our spiritual vessel? Because for the time being I don't have a spiritual vessel, I only have some awakening of my own. To the extent that I connect with them so as to be as one man in one heart, as much as possible, by that specifically I build my spiritual vessel and there, in that common heart, that common brain, that common inclination I begin to discover the one upper force. That is, it. This is how we should try to build ourselves.
3. S. (19:04) To continue what you said about the forces that came from above, as the good forces that we are not ready, so we feel them as not good. I wanted to ask about the pandemic, for example, if we were ready to receive this force that comes in the form of a pandemic how would it appear to us?
R. We would connect as quickly as possible in all of the 10's, and through all of the tens to show the whole of humanity how much we need to be close inside so that when a certain trouble comes then as you can see it with animals, if trouble comes let's say some flood or if the forest is burning, all of the animals they don't jump on one another, they don't even have an egoistic desire just a simple one to exist and to eat, they see that they have to run away from death. This is why their instinct to devour another animal turns off relative to the instinct to live and to survive. This is how we should explain this with respect to what is happening to us. That the blows that we feel from the side of nature, the Creator, the upper force, it doesn't matter as it is the same thing. These blows should position us so that we have the right calculation how can we get out of it because in this form of the blow that is reaching the whole world that we perhaps don't feel it in the still, vegetative, how they want to run away as they want to run away from the blows because they don't have free movement, but with the animate we can see the free movement how they run away from the trouble and by that they don't harm others.
Rather, they, all of them, it is a wonder to see it in nature, that the instinct to eat one another disappears and the most important instinct is to live and survive, to be saved from death. If we would get that from the animate level then we would also take advantage of it in a good and correct way. However, we are not on the animal level, we are corrupted animals. In addition to the animal level, we are also egoists and our ego is corrupting this matter, therefore we cannot think in the direction of connection, unity, not harming one another, at least to come close to one another to be saved from the pandemic. Even within this pandemic to check out how much the government and the people want to profit from one another and they think that this is what will bring them happiness and power, but it is the opposite. They are truly doing double damage and they create double issues, problems for themselves instead of being together with the others and buy these to soften the force of the judgments, the blows, they are actually amplifying the bad force.
S. In addition to that, I heard you say to receive things in the right way, this below that we are feeling right now in Bnei Baruch is a sign that we need to hurry up and connect in the 10s because the next blow that will come if we're not connected in the 10s will be even worse?
R. We try to learn about the nature of these blows that we are going through to actualize them in the right way in our connection between us and through our explanation towards humanity with what needs to be done, we should try more and more to succeed both in the connection between us and in the explanation and this is what we have left. In the morning lesson and the two other times that you meet throughout the day if you are meeting in a correct way, meaning that it is beneficial for you to continue in this direction that we have nothing else to do. All of the rest is just work on connection and working dissemination, I see these two directions and as a result of that we will see the pandemic is for the time being happening as we spoke about it to begin with, because our is not just to make healthy people become sick or people who are alive to make them dead. Rather it is to teach us how we should behave specifically with one another. For the time being what we see is that we are going in the opposite direction, meaning in the path of suffering, that the whole of humanity in each and every government thinks that they can profit and succeed, to show themselves as successful upon other nations and governments. This is a problem but gradually we will see through all of these blows that we will decline to the animate level and then we will start to see more out of our behavior to what extent and how much it is worthwhile for us to help everyone and not to damage each other along the way as the governments and politicians and all of the world leaders are still thinking.
4. S. (26:43) The upper wants to bestow and to expect the desire on behalf of the lower one, it is simply holding you up from within and you are asking to understand that it is an egoistic desire that you are asking for the right intention upon it but nothing succeeds, what is missing here?
R. I will tell you, first of all why are you not pleased with having such a connection with the Creator, that He is giving you a deficiency and He is not running away from you, He is not hiding himself from you but rather that you can ask of him. Is this not enough? You want more however this connection with the Creator you have it, you are not disconnected from him, he does not disconnect from you. Maybe he's enjoying that you are in such a state and that you are asking, try from within that state that you are asking to find pleasure, that you have a connection with the Creator that you are turning to Him and ask Him and Him sees that you have someone to turn to. So why is that not good? What more are you demanding?
Maybe you don't deserve more, you need to reach a stage where you are grateful to him, you are telling Him, thank you for each and every state that you feel that in that state you still feel you are connected to him. If you are connected to the Creator even with one gram of power then you need to hold on to that one gram and to be grateful that you have a connection with Him. If you have a connection with Him with some thin thread and you want that it will open up for you the gate that you will come into the Creator's Palace, then this is already your ego that is working. Therefore, you should not need more than this hair's breadth as it is said. A very thin connection that you have with the Creator that you feel nevertheless that you do belong to that, say thank you for that and to be in adhesion with that and that you don't need anymore because all the rest is your ego that is pushing you to add.
5. S. (30:19) How do our connections weaken the force of judgment?
R. To the connection between us we brought in the pipeline of connection with the Creator by this we are adding to the connection between us, Mercy to the connection between us and the Creator, is called broad, we are broadening this connection and then the Creator also through this connection we are building which is called reflected light he can buy this shine more of the direct light.
S. What does it mean that he is bestowing direct light?
R. When we feel that He is coming closer, we feel it is clearer and more felt more in different manners.
6. S. (31:43) In spiritual development there are two unpleasant states: one the feeling of the shattering and when the feeling of shame can you speak about the difference between them?
R. We are not talking about this now as you said you are truly now hindering us.
7. S. (32:11) How can we connect this state in which we are grateful even though we feel the darkness and even more than that at the same time and how can you aspire to bestow in such a state?
R. Out of lack of choice. Through all kinds of different states, I need to see that if I want to receive the force of bestowing that I also have to activate the force of bestowing from myself which has to be measured for measure. Specifically in those days when we feel dead, we need to try to do as much good to others as possible. By this way open up a pipeline also to such a kind of bestowing towards us.
8. S. (33:32) How can I know that I am connected also by certain strength by the Creator?
R. If you are connected to the 10, even though you don't yet feel any changes in your connection with the Creator because the connection itself is not really felt, it is felt when it changes all the time and therefore through that we can feel whether we have a connection with him or not. How can I be in all kinds of such different connections, different variations, fluctuations with the Creator through the friends to the extent that I look at the society at each one of them at the relations between us, our goal and preparations, our study and discussion. As much as I see that all of these things are changing according to that I can say this is actually what I feel from the society and in this form the Creator is also feeling us. How can we know after we hear such a thing, how can we make ourselves such a society and state to give the Creator such an impression that he will see us as successful and great, beautiful. We have to work on that even though we cannot make such an impression. Just like children who play with something as they grow up, we help them play all kinds of games and teach them likewise we need to do this in the 10. Therefore, we need to read the articles and we need to talk between us so that it is with the hope for certain that this will advance us more towards the Creator. It is only by playing and acting in the 10, we have no other possibility.
9. S. (36:30) How to find the power of the working connection so that every lesson if we feel that we are not advancing we feel a lot worse even in terms of talking to the friends it becomes difficult?
R. We need to search for materials about what we talked about advancement through distancing where the more forces are added that we feel ourselves worse and more distant from the goal, what that is meant for and why it is done that way. He is right, that this feeling exists and is revealed to us and how we need to receive it correctly and what to do with it.
S. Specifically in states when we feel bad, we need to do as much good to others as possible and by this we are opening a pipeline for such kind of bestowal towards us, what does this mean?
R. By this, we expand our vessels because the upper light doesn't lack anything but for us to prepare in us vessels that are filled with Hassadim and mutual bestowal between us, fills our vessels with Hassadim and then we can receive the light that appears to us and brings us problems, which is the light of Mercy without Hochma in it. So, we bring the light of Hassadim and then the light of Hochma clothes in it and we reach attainment.
S. How in a state where you feel bad do you do good to others?
R. With force as we all understand this is what we have to do as you see in the degrees of the animals, they don't kill one another, that on the degree of also in regular human beings if there is a flood somewhere in some place in the world so they go out and they help each other how to come out of the flood. It is nature that obliges them to do so but we need to do this in an aimed way.
S. What does it mean to do good to others forcibly?
R. It means that me together with my friends define in what way we need to be during times of problems, times of problems as when the light comes from above light of Hochma without Hassadim, and we need to develop the clothing of Hassadim, meaning good relations between us of bestowing, connection, help. Then in such a way we let the upper light enter in the form of Hassadim and then it becomes the light of good instead of the light of bad. The light of Hochma by itself is like a knife, it cuts, truly brings all kinds of disasters. The light of Hochma on its own, because it's opposite the desire to receive but it's by the desire to receive we mitigate the judgments, meaning that we bring the good connection between us of mutual bestowing, to diminish our egos wanting to be connected like the light of Hochma to close in the light of Hassadim which we create and amplify. Then we receive the revelation of the Creator. this is what eventually happens from all of the terrible state if we can receive it correctly.
S. Are we now in a time of trouble?
R. Yes, I see all of humanity going through persistent blows not such what we had with all kinds of plagues from a hundred of years ago but nevertheless these are problems and these problems come to us gradually, they dry us up, they dry up our industry and the trade and every single person and we will feel the results from all of this. There are people who are despaired by this and there are many the other way around and there are others who don't have this yet, the big changes are to happen. When we do come out of this big pandemic as a new humanity.
S. Are we at Bnei Baruch in a time of trouble?
R. We are in a time of trouble just like Baal HaSulam explains at the end of the introduction of the Zohar because we are the transition between the Creator and humanity and in this transition, open ourselves as much as possible to all of the abundance as the Creator wants to give to all of humanity which he wants to give to us, meaning our explanation and the correct wrapping to all of humanity.
S. To go back to the principal in the stage where I feel bad, we should do good to others in the 10?
R. Yes to intensify the mercy.
S. To play in the 10 and intensify the state of connection between us?
R. And to all humanity to intensify the mercy as we are trying to explain to them in the most possible and convenient way for them to understand where we are in the process.
S. Yesterday, I heard from a veteran friend, an active one, that he is doing everything that is necessary and he feels that he is already drying out, that he has no life, he hasn't been inspired in a long time, he does everything that he should but he already feels that he's drying out. How can a person When he is in such a state where he feels, how can he go out and do good to others?
R. Contact the Creator, that is what I'm telling you immediately. Because every single feeling comes to us from the upper force and if the Creator is inviting in him such a state, then He wants to change him. So have him turn to the Creator and connect to Him, and bring himself as an active conduit, pipeline from the Creator to the others. People who feel bad are in a state that is closer to the Creator because they are receiving it from Him. He needs them.
S. How can the 10 support him and give him oxygen?
R. Simply connect to him to expand the pipeline of connection from him to the Creator and try to receive from the Creator the correct guidance of what they need to do. First of all, connect between them then the pipeline between them will be through which they connect to the Creator to the extent they connect between them, they will also be connected to the Creator. In this pipeline that would be filled with the upper force with that they will be able to approach all of humanity that really needs it. We are going through times seemingly for good, for bad, these ways that are better or worse it is not that it is coming without guidance, it is exactly in accordance with the forces and the laws that are nature to the extent in which we need to sort ourselves correctly in our correct sensitivity to the Providence and to the line. This is why we need to pay attention to what is bad, what is good in all kinds of ways that it happens and comes to us as much as we need to change how a mind, our feelings, our connections with others see, these are the things that are very delicate and sensitive.
10. S. (47:30) I heard you say that anything more than the connection with the Creator is engaging our ego. How can my wanting more than a gram of connection with the Creator be egoistic? Can you explain this better?
R. It is not important how much you demand from the Creator it is important for what you are demanding from the Creator, we in our source, in our root are from the soul of Adam HaRishon, where all of the cells and all of the parts, even though they are each individualized as far as their qualities but they're all connected to each other and supplying to one another the passageway to the Creator, and from the Creator emerges a force and this force to all of the cells fills the whole body of Adam HaRishon. Meaning there is no one, just like Baal HaSulam wrote and we read this not too long ago, that no one lives for himself as there is no such thing, that is only in our ego that we think that it is that way. But it doesn't happen that way, we rather live for the sake of the whole system, now we need to come closer to this because these are the steps towards the end of correction where we will discover a need and desire for this. Therefore, as much as all of these pandemics will make it so that we can come closer to one another mutually at least somewhat, to be at least inclined towards it in an agreement that all of humanity is all around and there is no difference between anyone but rather we are all parts of an integral system and in the integral system, each is equal to everyone. As much as we advance to words this, we will rid ourselves from all the troubles and problems. If not, if we don't advance the system itself will nevertheless put us into more and more tight connections with one another, stronger ones but then we don't want to connect and the system is pressing us and then we will enter into wars and problems, into forms that are so harsh that eventually nevertheless they will educate us to be in the right and the connection between us as there is no choice here.
11. S. (50:48) Yesterday you explained to a friend that Hassadim is comprised of the fact that we feel and we take part in the souls of others, so does this mean that I need to be aware of the hunger that is in the world, the wars and the political conflicts and refugees etc.?
R. In general we need to hear about this but we have nothing to do with these things in a direct manner, we will not go to battle hunger and natural disasters, but rather we need to understand that our work is on a higher level on the system of forces. We need therefore to explain to everyone what our salvation depends upon from all of these forces of something the hearts force is that we feel in our world, this is only in the connection between us. The purpose of all of these bad forces that seemingly operate bad in us now are to explain to us that there is no choice but that we must be connected and this can take place through wars, through the natural disasters, through the different viruses and all kinds of troubles and problems because then, we will somehow stop to use our ego and be willing to hear something about the remedy for them. How to be saved from the blows. Therefore, we need to explain to people what the reason for the blows is and how we can in a short and true way that is meant against these blows to be able to take us out of these troubles and to bring us into expansion, into a good state. So, I am turning to Bnei Baruch, first and until we are able to convince humanity that the connection between people, the mutual good connection, that are not philosophical, religious, but rather just nice connection between people only such a connection will help us to emerge from all of the problems to destroy the hatred between us to lead humanity to connection. Through this we truly heal all of the problems, Earth will supply for us all that we need.
12. S. (54:49) About bestowing, is it possible to do this and determine that I am bestowing and not in a state of darkness? Is it possible to bestow from the state of planning when I feel good in my state?
R. If you feel good in the will to receive or are feeling bad that there are problems and troubles around you and you want to bestow upon them then you discover the lack in you towards them and towards the Creator that wants to bestow to them, and you become the pipeline. When you operate as a pipeline you don't feel your personal deficiencies, you only feel the deficiency of the Creator who wants to bestow and the lack of the created beings that are not in a good corporeal state, then you become the passageway.
13. S. (56:04) If we explain to everyday people about the importance of connection, what are they then supposed to do with that knowledge? What is the first thing they need to do?
R. They need to read a little, think a little, learn a little, not about the systems that the wisdom of Kabbalah that is explaining, but rather a little about creation that we are connecting to one another, that we are dependent upon one another that there is no choice that humanity began this way and is going through stages to eventually become connected in the end. If we are going together with those forces that develop humanity then we feel good every stage along the way. If we resist this somewhat, this historical process that is happening to us, then we feel bad in it. Meaning the reason to feel good or to feel bad is in our agreement with that which the forces of nature are doing and operating upon us to develop us, or in disagreement with it. This is what we need to write about in a simple manner so it will be understood by any person. Then when it is bad for a person, or when it is good for a person, he will understand why it is good and how to make himself feel good, how to be in accordance with the force developing nature to advance towards connection with others. What is that connection with others called, how can I intermingle with the force that makes me feel good or bad, people don't think about those big things, but in the world where will be brought the plan of creation closer to them that one will enter to this whole path, altogether we want to help ourselves not to cascade, not to deteriorate it's just like Earth now it's beginning to enter into.
14. S. (59:00) Is it possible to move a donkey with a stick or a carrot it seems like we are always talking about being bad, if we don't connect the bad will come and of that comes becomes of our lack of connection, why don't we also portray the picture of the good and nice outcome that comes from connection?
R. What are you recommending?
S. To give good examples of bestowal.
R. Do that and see how it influences you. Tell me about the examples that you are doing it and the influence it is having on the public.
S. I'm not talking about the audience, I'm talking even about us we're constantly talking about descent and disasters.
R. That is not true, we are speaking about connections and where we want the forces to find in the connection. We are not speaking about disasters and all kinds of things we are finding in our descents, we barely speak about descents, only how to ascend, so it is not about us and it is also not right for the broad public. Go and explain how good it will be to you if you can, why don't you connect, be like little children, how nice it will be if we sit in a circle and we sing, go explain how good it will be if we do that, there are such stories and tales everyone has heard already, that you can't bring this against the ego. The ego only knows one thing, if I will have good for certain what you can show and that I will have it bad for certain, that is already closer. That is why also you see the Creator has no other possibility of drawing us forward except through stabbing us from behind.
15. S. (01:02:01) As we run away from the fire in the forest how can we not just run out of distress?
R. This is, by us connecting between us, to see the strong powerful connection between us as our goal, this is okay. In this way, this is what we are trying to do, to raise the greatness of the friend and the group, the greatness of the goal so that we will have forces for this and attract ourselves in this and also everyone.
16. S. (01:03:18) You said if I want to get the force of bestowing, I have to activate the force of bestowing from myself measure for measure how specifically in this that we feel bad and we need to do good to the friends what does it mean to pass the light from me to the friends, how to do this?
R. Through me connecting to my friends and feeling their deficiency for connection and for advancement, the deficiency for bringing contentment through the friends to the Creator and to the extent I am impressed by those deficiencies I raise them in my prayer to the Creator. In this way, I add my sources to them and towards then I become Galgata v Enayim, a conduit force. This is how it is in the force of the group for everyone.
17. S. (01:04:32) What does it mean to increase the mercy between us?
R. The extent to which we relate to one another in a nice and good clothes way in order to advance towards the Creator then accordingly we truly advance and come closer to the Creator to draw everyone behind us as well.
S. How is this done in our meetings in a virtual state? How to practically do this?
R. Why is it important whether you are a physical or virtual as I don't think this has any harm or damage to anything see, if I need you and you are in some other side of the world, but that I need to receive from you help, let's say some kind of financial bank support, then we connect and you wire me some piece of paper and I, through this piece of paper, received from the bank a certain amount of money that I can put together a factory and build it. Does it bother us that we are far from one another? No, it all depends on the form of connection and the quality, and power of the connection. That is what we need to arrange our connection in the 10 so they will be more and more, from day-to-day, I tried to measure my connection with people, one day to another and to the extent to which they become more connected towards one another.
18. S. (01:06:52) When we connect, how do we have the right intention against the situations that push us away from one another so the Creator can hear our gratitude?
R. We are operating before the Creator and the fact that we feel that we have forces that reject us from one another is the Creator that is doing it on purpose. So that we will overcome these forces and connect to each other. When we want to connect to each other, He drops us and doesn't let us connect, and once again we rise and again want to connect and ask the Creator for the forces and He gives it to us. But again, once more it is corrupted and makes us fall once more. This is how we advance, that we grow between the Creator and the evil inclination and the forces of connection and between them we are constantly going around like this until we begin to be included from all of these forces at which point, we know how to use them correctly. That is our entire study and when we use it correctly, we will learn how it happens as we will have a right line, left line, middle line. We will have the tools, the vessels that are less egotistical CBD HGT NHY we will have surrounding lights and all kinds of conditions that we will be able to work with impractical. We will be able to enter into practical work with the vessels and the lights in the system and through using, practically, the system, we will try to connect between us and the Creator in a practical manner. We are getting close to this.
19. S. (01:09:24) We learned that we need to act as if we love our friends, do we need to act as if we have a desire to bring contentment to the Creator, is this acting as important as the first type?
R. We need to come to a state where we have a desire to bring contentment to the Creator and in order for us to have that, we develop and build this desire so that we will have a desire to bring contentment to the friends. This is called ‘from the love of the created beings to the love of the Creator.
20. S. (01:10:20) Is it true that the light of Hochma has to first come and give us the feeling of darkness or we can organize ourselves in the 10 in the light of Hassadim to meet it in a nice soft pleasant way?
R. If we don't have a light of Hassadim then the light that comes our way doesn't have the clothing of the light of Hassadim and it appears to us as darkness. It is not even the light of Hochma yet. You can say it but it's not precise. Therefore, we need to first try and connect between us in such a way that the light of Hassadim, the relation that is good and nice between friends fills the space between us and then we will be the vessel for the revelation of the light of Hochma between us.
Excerpt 30 (01:11:57)
21. R. (01:13:24) As long as we don't bring the good right connection between us, that upper light that shines to us a little more each time, does not find the right vessel for itself so it shines from afar to the vessel that is contradicted to it, the vessel that is more and more not with the will to bestow. Therefore, we feel our development, our technological and corporeal desires are more ready. On the other hand, we feel the increase of the bad and harsh forces, more diseases, more problems, more troubles in the families. Even though we invest lots of forces and means to sweeten up these problems and mitigate them, nevertheless they increase and intensify. Now we enter this stage, which is called the end of correction, the general correction of all of humanity, meaning the general correction that all of humanity is entering and is in that system that is cared for by the upper light. Here, in this stage, we will discover that humanity is in a state where all of us are going through the same stages, the same states. Everything depends upon the extent to which we are all connected together. Only in such a way will we be able to elude the blows.
Excerpt 31 (01:15:33)
22. R. (01:16:54) If we were developing as previous generations, then we would have earthly development where we were mostly concerned about having food to eat, what to drink, what to wear, and where to live. Today we are more and more concerned about things that are not necessary for existence. It is specifically the egoistic desire that has evolved into such states and degrees that it requires us to invest ourselves and our lives into things that have no real importance. That is already a sign that we have come to a distortion of our nature and we have to start making the true calculation of what we need to do.
23. S. (01:17:58) What is the sorrow of Shechina for humanity?
R. For humanity I don't know. The sorrow of Shechina means that we discover how much the source of life, the Creator, has sorrow with regards to us as we can't yet receive according to what He gives to us. This is called the sorrow of Shechina. Let's say, now I would have to have already received a quarter of the final correction yet can’t receive anything. That is the sorrow of divinity. It is just like a mother who wants to give everything to her baby that is needed, and he doesn't take it. He only takes a very little bit and she is very sorrowful because of it.
Excerpt 32 (01:19:12)
24. R. (01:20:28) I hope everyone is listening and everyone together is trying to absorb what you are reading. That’s the correction.
Excerpt 33 (01:20:44)
25. R. (01:22:10) I don't have anything to add. The cow, which means the Creator, wants to give his light to everyone but it all depends on the deficiency of the receivers. Their deficiency needs to be in order to bestow and to that extent they open themselves up to receive the abundance according to the equivalence of form.
26. S. (01:22:39) How should we depict the sorrow? Because in most quotes it is like the sorrow of the giver that can’t give, and in excerpt 32 he actually depicts it as the receivers’ sorrow that they can't receive the abundance. Can you explain the difference?
R. No. How can I explain sorrow that is not felt? Each one can depict it to himself.
S. Why is Shechina the receiver in this quote?
R. The Shechina is all of our vessels. I am a part of divinity, as you are and everyone else. If we connect between us, and to the extent that we do, we receive fulfillment from the Creator. Then He enjoys feeding us and we enjoy receiving from him.
S. It sounds like an egoistic sorrow that we cannot be filled and not the Creator’s sorrow.
R. It depends why you are receiving. If you are receiving in order to bring Him contentment, that is already in order to bestow. The issue is the intention and not that you are receiving.
27. S. (01:24:13) What should we do when there isn't a lot of inspiration? Even when you’re listening to something there are a lot of contradictions. The Kabbalists are trying not to write a lot about reasons of why, you just see the results.
R. There are people who settle for a little and they are good with that. Other people have a heavy, large soul. You are one of them as well, with a strong, big desire. It is difficult to start changing it and start working with it. Therefore, that is how you feel. You have to invest more and more. How much? Don't ask but do whatever you can in order to advance. You, at some point, wouldn't think of dissemination and now you succeed in it. You wouldn't even think about understanding the study and today you can. You will advance. I'm actually happy with what you are doing. The situation will advance, as we are all connected to a single system. As the world will change, and we are part of it as well, we will succeed. We can't be like the ancient kabbalists who were a small group separated from the world, from time and space. No, not for us as we have to drag humanity after us within time and space. That's why our work is more difficult.
S. The aid shouldn’t be the same?
R. The assistance is there but without letting you lose your free choice. The assistance is there.
28. S. (01:26:56) Is the morning lesson the main correction we are causing for humanity?
R. Yes, that is correct. It depends on how you prepare yourself for the lesson and your hopes for it. After the lesson, you have to carry it into your meetings during the day.
Excerpt 34 (01:27:31)
29. S. (01:28:53) What does it mean not to lose the freedom of choice?
R. If we work on connection in the 10, we certainly acquire free choice because there everyone is with his nature, with his intention. That is where we find free choice.
30. S. (01:29:40) In article number 30 that we read it says, the light that shines in the Kelim, the vessels, is named Shochen and the vessels are named Shechina. Then in 33 it says the sorrow of the Shechina is that she must hide the delight and pleasure that she wants to impart upon the souls. Shouldn’t it have said “the sorrow of the Shochen”?
R. I don’t know what you're getting confused with. Just leave it alone. Look at it simply. There is the upper light that has to enter a network of desires that are all interconnected as a network. That network, in the connection between them, not in each and every desire but in the connection between the desires, understand the situation. (Rav draws) You have desires and there is the connection between them. You understand that there are numerous forms of connection between them and across everyone. This network of connection between them are forces, these forces that you study and they give you a recognition and a feeling of the Creator. The Creator is something that exists here. The desires to receive, that is the desire to receive of each and every one, is opposite to the Creator. To the extent that each one wants to relate to others in a way of giving, by that they compose a network and this specific network is similar to the Creator, it begins to resemble the Creator. Not our egoistic desires, they will never be anything they are not already, they will always remain ego, but only the connections between us, only these connections. That is what we use to build the quality of the Creator.
31. S. (01:33:44) What is Shechina?
R. The Shechina is a part of God above that we discover within the network. This network is our desires, our connections. It is called that we raise divinity as a Kli. The light, the mutual reciprocal relationship we find there, is called the light of Shechina or the Creator.
S. What is the difference between the red web and the green circle around it?
R. The green circle, we don't attain. That is upper.
S. What is the sorrow of divinity? Why is she sorry?
R. The sorrow that the Creator, the upper light, shines on us and we still can't organize our vessels, our relationships, so that He will appear between us. That is the sorrow of Shechina. It is between the desired state and the existing state, on his part.
32. S. (01:35:14) Is it possible to overcome these problems by coming to the right demand?
R. Of course. We have nothing besides correcting the connection between us and according to the right connection between us, the Creator appears between us. He fulfills these connections and then we discover that we exist in Him, within the upper light or in the next world or the Garden of Eden, it doesn't matter what you call it.
33. S. (01:36:04) Rabash writes that for this reason a person should work to be rewarded to give contentment to the Creator by receiving the abundance from Him and a person who achieved this degree is the happiest person in the world. Right now, I can't give contentment, for a thousand reasons. So, do I have to get blows all the time? What is the root?
R. If you can't receive what the Creator currently is aiming at you, then in order to awaken you, you will feel some negative things that will lead you to a solution.
S. Can we reach a state where we don't cause all of this and will be able to give Him contentment?
R. Ask simply. Can I run away from all of this to not feel bad? No.
S. We are trying in the ten and there is still trouble.
R. This is a sign that you don’t make sufficient efforts.
S. Are you saying that right away there are blows?
R. I don't understand you. What discounts do you want? You are given exactly what you need according to your development.
S. There is a connection between us and the trouble in the world is not stopping.
R. You still haven't come to a sufficient amount and quality of connection in the right way.
S. What is the right connection?
R. I don’t know, there is no number for it. If we still don't discover ourselves connected to each other and the Creator as one, then it is a problem. This is what we need to achieve, at least the first degree. We build the Kli, the Shechina, and the Creator does that. We haven't gotten there yet. This is just the first degree and we need to keep advancing more and more.
S. Except for the studies with you, what are we lacking?
R. Connection.
S. Connection between us?
R. Yes. What’s unclear? Of course.
34. S. (01:39:24) How does the connection create a vessel?
R. Above our resistance and rejection, which is called Aviut, coarseness, we put together the Tzimtzum, the restriction, on top of the Aviut, the coarseness, and the Masach, the screen, and Ohr Hozer, the reflected light. We want love to cover all crimes, thus we connect. We have hatred on the outside and on top of that Tzimtzum, restriction, connection and on top of that, there is love. That is how we correct ourselves.
S. When a friend in the ten distances himself and we as a ten feel it, is this like the sorrow of Shechina?
R. No. Of course, it is unpleasant. On the way there are such events where people lose track and fall. Kabbalists write a lot about this. What can you do? Until we reach the goal there are many people who will fall and later, they will rejoin.
S. They didn't completely leave. He is going through a state and he is distancing himself from the ten, he didn’t leave the path.
R. If someone left, he left. You need to discuss among you how to relate to that.
35. S. (01:41:50) Can we also call the general collection of the vessels, Shechina, a Partzuf?
R. If the vessels are connected correctly between them, they become a Partzuf.
36. S. (01:42:18) Is there sorrow in the upper one or is it a phenomenon in the lower one?
R. We don't know anything about the Creator other than what we feel and what we feel is based on our vessels.
S. Why do we speak in such a way?
R. Because that's what we feel.
S. Why do we ascribe it to the upper one?
R. Because the Creator wants us to feel that. You understand it is perception of reality, you can't do more than that. Also, when you feel something in the friend, are you sure the friend feels it or you feel that that’s how the friend feels it? The feeling is always a personal feeling.
37. S. (01:43:14) Is it right that the Creator always wants to put us in the state of freedom of choice?
R. Yes, that is for sure, as much as possible in each and every state.
S. A person may rather not have freedom of choice but wants the Creator to take control and not give him this freedom of choice. Is this correct to ask?
R. What you are saying is exactly right. Ultimately, my decision with regards to free choice is that I crown the Creator as the operator and He is responsible for each and every one of my actions. I want the Creator to accompany me and I am willing to surrender in and each and every sense, but more and more I do that in a practical way, as a partner. That means that ultimately, I let the Creator rule over the whole of reality.
S. Does the fact that the Creator gives us his feeling of the freedom of choice and wants us to crown Him, mean that we are annulling our entity?
R. No, we don't cancel our entity or His entity. We connect everything into one adhesion.
S. How does it connect?
R. Try it and see, and by this you have free choice on your part. You want to convey that action to the Creator, that it is on His part, it then turns out that you're doing it together. He is doing the action and you are leading Him to it.
38. S. (01:45:54) How important is the quality of the connection compared to the quantity?
R. The quality of the connection is always more important than the quantity. Always.
39. S. (01:46:25) We learned that lack of preparation of the vessels is what causes the feeling of darkness. Excerpt 33 states that the sorrow of divinity is that she has to conceal the delight and pleasure. How can we make certain it is not to their detriment?
R. We are in a state of final correction. Everything is organized, there is no cruelty in the King's palace, and everything is corrected and was never broken. It was all just imagined by the created beings to allow them an opportunity to refine their attitude, integrate into it, and to gradually attain.
S. Is attaining this state a condition on the path?
R. It is a condition on the path that we attain this falsehood that we are in. Basically, this is a game that the Creator set up for us and we are aware and thankful to Him for this game. We accept it seriously because it gives us an opportunity to justify Him, to feel Him, and to get to know Him more. It is called “playing with the whale”. You need to think about it more. A lot is written about it, that the Creator replaces an angel, one instead of the other, and so on. It is all with regards to the created being. The more the game appears on the Creator's part, the more the created being is willing to accept it seriously.
Excerpt 35 (01:48:54)
Excerpt 38 (01:50:22)
40. S. (01:52:11) In our 10 there is some sorrow, within reason we can cherish all of the abundance, all of the goodness of the Creator, how can we make it so that we don't continue for thousands of years in this state and bring the sorrow of Divinity to an end?
R. If you have a 10 try and bring them all together and by that you will finish all of the corrections, all of them.
41. S. (01:53:05) Is the corporeal world the playground and the laws for all of the spiritual work?
R. I don't understand.
S. Is corporeal life like a sandbox where we understand the laws and work of our spiritual work?
R. You're not saying a whole sentence.
S. We live our corporeal life. There are games here and in these games for life between us, does it have some influence, some implication on our spiritual work?
R. If we do it with the intention to reach his spiritual intention yes, but if we don't then we are on the degree of an animal and not man.
S. How to switch the intention?
R. By what are we doing this for.
Excerpt 44 (01:54:24)
42. R. (01:56:04) That means that us feeling the taste of dust in our work and bestowing that we have no attraction towards this and no justification. It is a good thing because if there was a taste in it, if it would shine and sparkle, how could we disconnect from it as we would not be able to because we would not have the forces. This is why the fact that we feel that it is worthless, it is easier for us to begin the work of bestowing and we must appreciate that and to try and start working from that.
43. S. (01:57:05) How does a person who feels that he is tasting rubble, that it can be work and be happy?
R. What do you want to taste instead of the rubble?
S. Some vitality.
R. What would you tell the Creator, what would you want to feel in the good connection between people?
S. Why can't we work from a good feeling?
R. Let's say that you have a friend and I, as the Creator, as the upper one and making a connection between you that you love each other, that you are connected and supporting each other. Now I am telling you that you make this connection that will really be a connection of bestowing. Not because you feel the pleasure of the connection between you.
S. So then what?
R. Not for pleasure but for bestowing, then you would need to distance yourself from all the pleasure you have in the connection, perform a restriction on your feelings and then start raising the connection from wanting to perform my commandments.
44. WSQ: (01:58:54) Let's discuss What Rav just said.
44. S. (02:07:16) How do we transform the connection between us into bestowing?
R. No, there was a complaint of why we don’t feel pleasure in the connection between us that we can add to that pleasantness, a feeling of bestowing. I don't understand how that could be even from our state that we don't feel any pleasantness in the connection between us, nothing special except for egoistic. So, it is hard for us to go to something else, meaning that we must reach a state that we neutralized all of the forms of connection between us to zero and then from this zero I can start resurrecting them towards in order to bestow. We need a restriction.
S. Is the restriction painful?
R. No, it all depends as much on as you appreciate the goal that you are attaining by the restriction.
S. So it is possible to feel a kind of pleasure when you taste the flavor of dust. Can you feel two things, the flavor of dust and a sublime flavor?
R. Yes of course, I've given you the example many times that I have asked to have an operation and every time the doctor was rejecting it and I was expecting maybe today or tomorrow and when they finally told me I'm getting the operation, I didn't wait for that stretcher to come I ran myself to the operation room and I lay down on the table, that they would give me the operation. It all depends upon the importance of the goal but the question is, can we from our good state that we feel in our connections to reach the good states that we will feel them in order to bestow, spiritually so in the middle there must be a cessation, a break that I don't receive, that I don't want to receive any pleasure from being in connection with the friends in order to receive. I want to reach in order to bestow.
S. So what is the restriction in the connection with the friends in the ten?
R. That is what I want to restrict, it is all of the pleasant things that I find, I restrict them and I want to reach different states, a new one that they will all be in order to bestow.
S. What exactly am I restricting in the 10 with the friends?
R. That we don't want to be in the feeling of a corporeal connection between us, that we want to pass to a spiritual connection. But I want all of the connection between us to resemble the Creator, that we can give him joy.
S. If the friend supports me and gives me forces to strengthen me, do I use it as a means? We don't actually have corporeal connections besides the goal, so what is the restriction here?
R. It will all be clarified in thought as we don't have to have corporeal connections that we live in one apartment or in one city it is all in thought. The systems that you are building between you as much as you are in those systems as where you want to build your new order.
S. How not to use what the society gives me in order to receive?
R. Try not to receive in order to receive, he won't be able to try right away just as now, as you are now, no matter what state to pass it to in order to bestow.
S. What is connection with no pleasure in it?
R. When you are told to give what you have to someone from a different foreign country that is bestowing that you have no pleasure or feeling if maybe I don't understand what you are asking.
S. We will continue and I will think.
45. S. (02:08:29) What does the taste of dust mean other than lack of pleasure in the desire to receive?
R. I don't feel any flavors, meaning not for the bad or for the good, nothing, like dust. So, I can't do anything as he won't give me any discernment. Lack of discernment from an action is called dust.
46. S. (02:09:39) So the lack of pleasure the Creator gives us? What kind of values we need to raise from the dust, can the value we raised before us lead us instead of the pleasure?
R. You have to connect pleasure to a value, even if it is negative, that is one thing. Second, it all depends upon what you received from the group. We learned that we get all of the values from the group; what they choose, what they appreciate, it all becomes your goal.
47. S. (02:10:37) We learn that the will to receive can't move without pleasure so what it takes is basically future benefit from the state of dust?
R. Not necessarily, as the will to receive can't move without pleasure. Let's say that I don't want to wake up to the lesson, so here I have to depict a state that I will be embarrassed towards the friends, it will be unpleasant. When I wake up, I won't feel shame and suffering so I have already gained something and from that gain I will come to the lesson. In each and everything situation we have to depict as many pleasures and values as we can in all kinds of ways, the main thing is to perform the group action before us.
S. So what is the benefit in the state of the taste of dust?
R. The fact that I feel dust in bestowing, it is something great: I understand that I have reached the truth, because the will to receive, to my body bestowing, seems like dust. Now I have to give that feeling of dust a different form. If I'm in a group that respects this dust specifically, for me it becomes something great, the group gives it importance.
S. So basically, I make a restriction over my taste of dust what I feel and appreciate what the group appreciates.
R. Yes.
48. S. (2:12:52) regarding the Tzimtzum/restriction, is it correct to say that we shouldn't fight the connection just to let the Creator, do it?
R. Why should we fight the good in the connections?
S. We feel good about connecting so not to restrict it, just to bring the Creator in?
R. I think so if I understand you.
S. We feel good in the 10, we meet. Sometimes we feel more connected and sometimes the opposite but I'm talking about the good states. So, do we have anything to restrict here?
R. You don't have to restrict yourself, you just have to be more precise that your connections will be more exalted than the simple ego.
49. S. (02:13:57) In life, in the will to receive, I'm acting according to the feedback I get. If I feel good I continue and if I get negative feedback I leave. But here, in our work I never get positive feedback as everything feels like sand, like dust, but I go left to right today or tomorrow and it's all dust. How do I make a choice?
R. According to the way your 10 is directing you. You need to annul before them and keep going, more and more and each time you will discover specifically in them, is where the Creator is, the Creator is hidden behind them- and only in such a way can you advance. Going from dust to dust is according to your brain, if you consider it according to their brain and you will see that it is not dust.
Rav Reads: ‘If one decides that he wants to work as “dust”, meaning, he is less than everybody, zero of zeros, doesn't value himself at all compared to the others. Meaning if he tastes the taste of sand in the work he says, that it is very important for him to be able to do something for the sake of the Creator and for himself he doesn't care which tastes he feels, and says, that this work, in which one tastes the taste of dust, meaning that the body mocks his work, he says to the body that in his view this work is regarded as “raising the Shechina from the dust’”. The most important work, even though it tastes like dust it is not just dust. In this work is raising the divinity the Shechina, meaning extracting the whole system of Adam HaRishon from the dust, from zero, resurrecting it. In other words although the body tastes dust in the work, a person says that it is holiness/Kedusha, and does not measure how much flavor he feels in the work, rather he believes that the Creator does enjoy this work, since there is no mixture of the will to receive here, on behalf of man. Since he has nothing to receive because there are no flavors or ascent in this work, the Creator gives him this taste of dust purposely so that the ego does not jump to receive something, that there is only dust here. For this reason he believes that this is holy work and he is delighted. The Creator gave him the taste of dust, as a mercy, as an opportunity that comes to man so he can work not for himself. Because for himself there is nothing, there is no pleasures here, so specifically in this state a person can give, and it will be true giving. Meaning, when a person has been given the taste of dust is when he’s been given an opportunity to bestow, to advance.
50. S. (02:18:26) We build a prayer of the 10 every day and some days there's any flavor in that, it's not inspiring. Is this what we can call the taste of dust?
R. If you don't feel that you have a flavor today in something so you have an opportunity to perform actions of bestowal. Because In your will to receive you can't feel any good taste, then what can you do? Perform actions of bestowal, of all kinds, doesn't matter what, even the simplest actions, things that don't have any importance to you, but they will truly be actions of bestowal. Because at that time you are not intending to enjoy; there is nothing to enjoy, it's obvious that nothing is there, so why are you doing it for? In order to perform an action of bestowal. A man can say that he can't do all kinds of things? as I don't have the fuel? Of course you don't, but something small you can do. You want to really have an ability to work on something, ask the Creator for fuel and He will give it to you.
S. (02:20:15) To clarify, what you're saying is that the same action, that more it extends and there's no pleasure, no taste in it, I still feel like the Creator is waiting for me, to build something in me?
R. You are correct, then you can perform actions and ask the Creator to give you some kind of work, some action, and in it that you don't feel any enthusiasm or taste or no ability. But each time you are willing to fall and not do anything, but you keep going, a bit more and more because in this way you enter in order to bestow. Then by these actions you start feeling, what the light of mercy is that you have nothing out of this but you still do it. Where do you get it from? From the Creator, He is giving you the taste of dust and by this He also gives you the energy and the force to perform an action of bestowal. Suddenly you discover that you are doing something and don't have any flavor or attitude, but how do I do this? The Creator gave you this force, you made an effort and decided, you're going to work above the taste of dust even though it tastes like that. Then it turns out that it is possible, and this force that you received is a spiritual force because your ego didn’t chase it. Then what happens? You perform a spiritual action; you start feeling that you are uplifting above your will to receive and you can perform some kind of action, that is the will to bestow. The next time you will demand the Creator to give you a force for this, that you will be able to perform actions with the taste of dust, more difficult actions, that are longer, then you will start feeling that even though you have tastes that are not just dust, but you can turn any state you are in and turn it into a state of dust. Because toward spirituality you don't see it, the taste as important, then you can always add an action of bestow on your behalf, and this is how you start working. You see whether we want it or not, these excerpts gradually bring us into actions that are more spiritual.
S. Generally we learned we are either in the reception or bestowal and there is some kind of a dryness or is this neutral, reception or bestowal?
R. It is not this or that, if you didn't scrutinize it and don't know how to describe it, it is not scrutinized yet. So we need as quick as possible to scrutinize it. Don't be afraid to decide.
51. S. (02:24:27) We used to say a person feels a taste of dust and you say even just a little action of bestowing and you would say when he sat in this hall to go wash some dishes to peel some onions for the friends, do something. Now I'm asking in the virtual world that we have entered, what can I do that will lift me a little bit towards the friends?
R. Anything in your power to do, do it. What I would say an action of bestowing is dissemination in any way still going towards humanity today and towards anybody is disseminating the correction to our state that we are all in.
52. S. (02:25:26) You said a person needs to agree with the state of dust forever. How do you make the check that if I agree with regards to new flavors that I turn to the Creator in the state of a very developed ego, says it all agrees with the state of dust to get something better later?
R. That is not important, a person needs to always know that he will see good ahead. Whatever he depicts to himself is not important, that is that he swallowed it and will vomit it. We can always
depict things that are good to receive them, the main thing is we will have forces to do it. Now I am going to disseminate am I going to get good or bad, no, I need to create a state that if I disseminate to humanity along with them I am going to be rewarded with a prize.
53. S. (02:26:51) What is the relation between the dust on the shells?
R. The dust is in the action of bestowing that I don't feel any taste, no attraction toward it and no rejection, like something in the middle that isn't here or there. The Klipot are what draw me to receive and that is already two great people that have the forces in order to bestow, that they start to discover as much as they also have intentions to receive, intentions, the desires that are concealed in them and surrounding them.
54. S. (02:28:06) Is this almost like a state of feeling indifference and being grateful for it so that you can turn it into bestowing just for the Creator?
R. Yes, you can say that, there is something about that.
55. S. (02:28:49) You said that dissemination can change our direction and make our vessel more spiritual. Do you recommend to think about dissemination more in teams, as not always do we have the power to do dissemination, maybe to put it in pairs or three people according to the spirit of the lesson?
R. Please do whatever you want. The main thing is to disseminate because in that action you are doing good for the general vessel and the system of Adam HaRishon and the Creator. That is an action that will always be before a gain and not a loss. That is why we should do it.
56. S. (02:29:49) Should we restrict the pleasure from our meetings in the 10 after studying that we need to restrict pleasures from the connection between us, there are states that we learn about that are not actually actions that we need to do actively like the restriction is, rather the result of other things?
R. I don't understand your questions, I don't need to enjoy being with the friends? I myself and lowering YH to the dust, where do you hear this?
S. About restricting the pleasure from the connection between us is where the question comes.
R. Where is the pleasure that I have to lower from the connection between us, why should I not enjoy the connection between the friends? When we advance in the correct connection between us gradually the connection goes through all kinds of changes, styles and then we also reach the state that I feel the taste of dust in it and it happens that each one has an experience so here is a chance where I can raise myself above this in order to bestow.
S. What is the activity we need to focus on between us?
R. Dissemination towards the outside because they are we have nothing to grasp on or we feel dust in it, dissemination outside of BB today is the most important, you can see this according to the deterioration of the world.
57. R. We have a few more days to feel that we are in the destruction, that is why try and feel the taste of dust in this destruction and in that taste of dust you can see how you can raise it and perform actions of bestowing.
