Part 1:
Each Day They Will Be As New In Your Eyes - Selected Excerpts from the Sources. #6
1. Rav’s Introduction: (00:25) Yes, all of our work is to correct the vessel which is called the soul of Adam HaRishon, the general desire that the Creator created and crashed into many pieces. In each and every one of us there is a small part of that vessel, hence we are called Bnei Adam, the sons of Adam. As we emerge from that desire called Adam. Adam HaRishon and all of our work is to connect back through all of our efforts our desires that are scattered disconnected, distanced from one another to one desire and which there is certainly great work because these parts were separate and our distanced from one another in disparity of line between them and how can you adhere them meaning let us say the desire for coffee and the desire to know and read something.to hear, to feel something.
Meaning completely different desires and we need to connect them according to their characteristics, their properties, even the characteristics towards and according to all kinds of discernment we are learning along the way by which discernments we can join to this desire, to that desire, to this desire, to that desire until eventually we receive one desire in which all those desires are assembled as one desire and the desire to the extent to which becomes more and more united, congealed, unified it discovers more and more of the upper force that created it, the Creator. That is why it is called the Boreh, Creator who created him and that is our work. Let's hope that we will soon feel this in practice but the fact that we are already on the way to it, we can understand that, yes.
Whereas our intention needs to be more and more aimed towards connection, as we will nevertheless see in each and every action what I'm about to attain the goal as my purpose, my goal relative to everything in my life, to friends, to myself, to the state that I am in each time I only think about the fact that by the action, by the thought, by the desire I want to push forward these different desires so that they will be more and more connected more and more united such that they will be one desire, this desire will only be a desire for bestowal mutually between all of the souls that include this one desire, shattered desires are opposite from connection, they do not want connection, the Creator did it on purpose in order to give us the opportunity to feel the difference between the shattered desire and the unified desire, and by this we speak in to attain him. As the advantage of light out of darkness this is how we come to the attainment of the Creator and the entire desire that he created to begin with this desire helps us and includes also it's shattered state which the Creator disassembled all the way into thousands and thousands of pieces that are contradictory to one another.
This then helps us according to our request and to connect and complete one another, Then it turns out that we are Incorporated in both the minus and the plus. Then in assembling the plus and minus together we feel the extent to which there is this power in the connected desire relative to the weakness that is in the disassembled desire. That is what we need to reach and in the difference between plus and minus the desire of connection and the desire of the shattering we will feel all the power and depth of creation relative to the desires and the disassembled desire. The difference between the work of the Creator, the work of the Creator and ourselves. Well actually all the rest we will talk about only it is good that we already have our first question which is from Kiev. More than likely that is our friend.
2. S. (06:40) How is the separate desire able to be connected with the general desire, with a general system?
R. To begin with all the desires were one desire, this desire was a desire to benefit His creations; the desire of the Creator. Now what the Creator did, He shattered it. He brought it to the shattering of the Kelim. In the shattering of the Kelim all the crumbs, all the pieces, even the tiniest, smallest ones distanced in this plane, where they are, according to the extent of separation that was in them revealed during the shattering.
Then it turns out that there are those Kelim meaning desires that are more distanced to one another and there are those that are more close to one another. Such that we see, for example, in the sky we are explained by the wise people that there was once a big bang and our entire universe was as some one point, or one body, not big and it exploded. Its remnants, its parts flew in all directions until they found or didn't yet find.
Meaning this process until they want to find to themself a place of balance, balance between all of the forces that operate upon each and every article in the system. It turns out that nature is drawn to this. We are still in this process where everything is distancing from that place that was once the center of connection between them and we are in the process of dispersion still but scientists say that this needs to end and then we will maybe be in a different process. Just like there was a dispersion and in nature there are many such processes.
Then we will be in a process of connection, unification, of consolidation. We will actually come into some form of balance along the way where according to the extent in which we can influence all of these great forces upon some big masses in space, in the space of the world, we thus, will be able to also with our thoughts, influence them and they will begin to come closer, back to their center and then we will see the extent in which we ourselves influence the billions of stars in a way that they will be closer, connect and will maybe once again consolidate into one body which carries within that desire that the Creator created.
Well that is astronomy, that is not Kabbalah. Although, there are many parallel lines between them. Between us, the thing is everyday, every night we influence what is happening in the heaven and what is happening with us.
Certainly we saw and maybe you saw on TV, how it appeared to us like there is some empty space in the void of the sky and now with this new, big, powerful telescope, they opened it up and they start to see and all of a sudden they started to see that there are billions and billions of endless stars and all together that it’s another universe that was opened up before us. It appeared to us as if it was an empty void, an empty dark space and it was nothing.
Meaning this points to the extent in which we are truly in a world that is eternal, also spiritual and also corporeal in the corporeal perspective. We need to learn how do we come closer between us, which is actually our time. We will come nearer between us in our hearts and our desires and accordingly it could be that we will also see responses even in the skies. Why am I talking about that? Because it is also very interesting to see these things.
3. S. (12:52) Scientists say in recent years that they discovered that the universe is not just separating but constantly more and more. Is it like this also in spirituality, that it is accelerating and the gap between us is becoming greater and greater?
R. I think that that is according to the process we are going through, yes. That there is an adaptation to it, to one another but I cannot say for sure because I have not investigated this or that. I am too small to enter into such investigations but it could be that we can take certain things that are parallel and talk about them.
S. Kabbalah is talking about us, not the stars really. This gap that you say is increasing and accelerating between us. What’s the force that can stop this action because it sounds like the separation between us is just increasing?
R. Yes we can see that for the time being we are coming nearer, closer, as we develop by our intellect becoming greater, more powerful and it defines what we will do and not our feeling and that is a problem. Yes, that is a problem and let us hope that we will nevertheless be able to change the means in the future so that our feeling, the emotion, the need for coming closer, the necessity for coming closer will come to our hearts, our minds and we will think of how we will nevertheless become closer to one another. It is a problem. That is work on our measures.
S. The solution for this distancing is increasing. Will it come for us in the mind or sensation because it seems like the sensation and feeling they are getting further apart. Maybe in our mind we are starting to understand how to come closer?
R. I cannot say by what the change will truly come. It seems to me that this will complete that but no matter what the solution is close: the solution is close. We will discover that we have no choice but we enter ourselves, we bring ourselves to a state in which there is no other solution but rather to change the nature of man and then to change the nature of man the only thing that can save us is only by us performing these exercises that the wisdom of Kabbalah brings us.
S. Meaning that when we will be at the edge of the abyss we will understand that we should do something else?
R. Well the abyss is something that each of us depicts to oneself, when it appears to him that way or when it appears that way. Yes but we will start to understand that otherwise we have no choice that all together we are getting lost.
4. S. (16:28) In the Turkish Congress you spoke about this that the Creator created a dark world that's not revealed to us and the illuminated world which we see and the connection of the force of bestowal and this additional sense we need to develop will give us actually the ability to discover everything He created or will we still remain in the dual state?
R. In the end when we reach Gmar Tikkun, then according to our understanding today, we could say that we come to a complete Kli, where we are there in “one man in one heart”. Meaning all the desires of still, vegetative, animate and speaking are included in the highest degree of the will to receive and this will to receive operates in order to bestow which is how we adhere to one another and to His will.
S. If so, in this we will connect and acquire an additional sense. Can we say that this is for the entire Kli?
R. Yes, of course. Then we will see where we really are. You are going according to how you see now with your five corporeal senses that is not at all us and not our nature and not our place. Rather, when we begin to enter the spiritual plane and connect between us, to build a spiritual Kli. Then we start to see who we are and who we are connected with and what things altogether we won’t feel that we are connected to the matter which is around us. Look, you'll see.
5. S. (18:35) I heard that in this shattering we need to work, to unite in love, to reach this black point and raise the spark. How do we work so it will be out of joy and not a work that distances us from spirituality?
R. This depends on the connection between the friends and the extent to which we see before us the goal which is first of all at our reach, with the Creator’s help of course. That we are already in the final stage of the work where we are truly assembling the final force, the last generation in which we will see the whole process and how it is complete and what it presents to us. Yes, that is how it will be.
6. S. (19:58) Our thoughts, we can influence each other to come closer to one another but what is this force of thought?
R. The force of thought? It is a force that exists in us, that comes to us from connection and distancing of the desires to receive from one another. Where there is a certain movement between the desires and accordingly there is an impression from the different states and from this comes to us the feeling called wisdom. Then we become experienced and we will talk about it.
S. You spoke about this direction of connecting all of our desires into one desire, that this is the direction that we are entering.
R. Yes.
S. When we are connecting two desires into one does the contrast between them annul?
R. No, no, nothing disappears it only enters in the correct order, in the right connection with one another. Matter cannot sustain itself together if there will not be in it poles, meaning parts that are contradicted to one another. Specifically the contradiction and the connection together build a strong, powerful system and we too, ourselves even in our intellect must be also in desires and thoughts which are different and contradicted. Then if there is a mutual completion between them, then we can hold them, work with them and develop.
S. So what does it mean to connect two desires into one? There's not one desire here, there are two desires that we have made into one greater desire?
R. Different desires which are always in splitting, dividing and we just need to work on the complement between them, so that all of our work will be in completing them; how to connect contradicted things. Then we can see the extent in which creation is in completion and wholeness and adding, connecting, coming closer to one another, which brings us the feeling of unity, wholeness; Arvut.
S. What connects two desires into one?
R. The goal. Whereas only by us connecting the desires and altogether the different parts which are contradicted we attain our source. Even in an atom, in molecules, in anything you want. What is the force that connects? There’s some external force which pushes everything towards connection. Why? By this we can attain the Creator.
7. S. (23:46) Rav, you mentioned that astronomy and the wisdom of Kabbalah go in parallel and that the learning of Kabbalah is on a daily basis. When will astronomy give something to the wisdom of Kabbalah?
R. That I don't know. I think that that day is not that far, the day in which we understand that all of the wisdoms that we develop need to nevertheless receive something from the wisdom of Kabbalah. Otherwise they are lacking the beginning of the wisdom and the purpose of the wisdom, the end of the wisdom and that we can compose these wisdoms together into one mechanism, one system, one wisdom, of the upper force. I think that will be not far. Humanity itself is advancing towards this in very harsh and un-persistent steps because it doesn't know exactly where it is going. Whatever is revealed is revealed, whatever is not revealed it is not revealed. It is not operating in the research towards a safe, clear direction and that is why we develop as we develop. Whatever is revealed on the way is revealed. I hope that will end soon and that we will discover a more illuminated path.
8. S. (26:05) Do the differences between the men and women help to construct the new state? The new state of Lishma?
R. Certainly, yes. That is why we are created this way, that is why we are this way, organized, it is not from our intellect and I really hope that we will soon know in what need, we need to exactly complete one another, compliment one another both men and women together.
S. Differentiating the men in one group and the women into one group so that we can help each other while we are not sitting in the same place?
R. We need to advance the way we advance and of course the relations between us will change gradually according to our inner connections that are in each and every one of us. Then we will know and discover who exactly we are because for the time being, right now, none of us knows ourselves.
S. Going together as one in the ten supports the women's group and the men's group into becoming one in Lishma?
R. For the time being it is prohibited. The men's group advances, the women’s group advances and they can be connected between them only in external jobs, in dissemination, in writing articles but no more than that.
S. That's very informative for us so we keep treating our ten as one and just focusing on our friends in the ten and the rest will take care of itself?
R. Usually, yes. That is how it will happen. But the women tens can connect between them and the men's tens can connect between themselves and that’s good. Whereas in the mixture of men and women that is not good.
9. S. (29:27) How can we combine all egoistic desires into one desire to bestow?
R. Specifically because we have many desires which contradict one another, egotistical in each of us we can begin to connect between us in such a way that in each of us there is something that can complete the other. Soon you will feel how possible this is and how good it is that we are created this way. For the time being we do not think that it will help us at some point but soon you will see how it is to the contrary. These contradicted desires and thoughts which are distanced from one another that will all help us in our connection.
10. S. (30:45) How to correctly use all our qualities including curiosity? How can curiosity help us advance?
R. We will practically feel these things in our lives.
11. S. (31:07) When is it possible to know or to feel the desires of my friend and to take them as mine; to ask for them?
R. You have to accept the friend in such a way that you are justifying him. Meaning that all the desires, intentions, thoughts, actions, inclinations all that one has is all aimed towards the purpose of our connection together. Then to such a form you just turn to him and complete him.
12. S. (32:00) You said in the beginning of the lesson that we are in the world of Ein Sof corporeally and spiritually. What is in that in corporeality?
R. It seems to us as this world, this universe which also appears to us as Ein Sof. What we receive in our five senses, our bodily senses, is a certain special reflection of the five spiritual senses and therefore this appears to us as Ein Sof for the time being. You’ll look at some dot in the sky, take a bigger telescope and you'll see that it's not a point but another universe there and more and more. It’s Ein Sof, Ein Sof meaning because in our Kelim we cannot grasp the boundary. If we start investigating all of the borders not according to our desire, our very linear superficial one that exists in the framework of this world, then we will begin to start working with Kelim with a different ruler.
13. S. (33:49) What does it mean to come closer or get farther from one another? Are we using measurements of this world to know if we are getting closer? That when we feel good together we'll be closer? When we feel bad they're really separate. How do we measure if we are advancing correctly?
R. According to the attainment of the goal. If in order to attain that goal I need to feel how distant I am from the Creator from the friend and then the attainment of the distance between us will be to my benefit and I will be glad about it. It all depends on the goal.
14. S. (34:35) What are the means by which we can develop and deepen our feeling?
R. Only nearing to the friends. You have no other means even though it is unpleasant but to the extent that you can come closer to the friends and come closer not on the corporeal plane which our life and our bodies is, but in the plane of our feelings, in our life and our nearing and our connection spiritually. Then through that you will develop your new feeling and you will advance.
15. S. (35:20) Related to this, what to do with the attempt to combine all of the parts into one and we feel a great opposition in the group?
R. It is natural, it is natural. I remember myself that until even this day I have resistance to nearing until this day I still have it. This will probably extend until the end of my correction. Otherwise what will Gmar Tikkun be called? Upon what will the correction be? Meaning we will feel the resistance to connection in all kinds of ways, degrees, all the way to the end of the path. Until we will all be, ‘as one man in one heart.’
16. S. (36:20) How can we use our contradictions, our contrast, to come to mutuality between us?
R. By rising above the disturbances and understanding and forgiving each other and understanding that this is how we were created by the Creator and we need to specifically with all of these contradictions that are intensifying we need to go forward and ask for connection; to ask for connection.
17. S. (37:16) If I see opposing qualities in friends or negative qualities in a friend should I speak to her about it gently?
R. No, that is not desirable. Who knows how she will take it. Try to overcome alone over the form that you see in her. To search specifically for points that are similar in both of you.
18. S. (37:46) Coming closer corporeally helps us to come closer spiritually?
R. Of course, yes. Of course that is a means, not that it truly contributes itself there is no connection between corporeality and spirituality but there is a certain connection that helps, adds.
19. S. (38:15) Is the Reshimot incorporating only corrupted desires that need to be corrected?
R. The Reshimot contains shattered corrupted Reshimot. It has also parts of the corrected corrections as well but that depends on who we are talking about.
20. S. (38:48) In corporeality, why do we need five senses and in spirituality only one?
R. No, also in corporeality we have one sense, the will to receive all together. Also in spirituality, this desire divides into sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch, in corporeality. In spirituality: two Keter, Hochma, Bina, Zeir Anpin and Malchut but it is actually the same sense of the will to receive.
21. S. (39:38) You said that men and women will come to balance at Gmar Tikkun?
R. We will reach and we will connect beforehand in mutual work together but not for now. When it will be for our benefit, then you will know, you will reveal yourselves.
22. S. (40:16) I heard you say earlier that from the shattering of Adam HaRishon different desires were created like a desire for coffee and a desire for knowledge. Those desires need to be connected on the plane of the desire or is it impossible?
R. No, they need to be connected in their goal to bestow contentment to whom, and by what, by what means that the desire already determines.
S. Every desire remains with its character in the way it's connecting?
R. Yes of course.
23. S. (41:01) This moment in this world we have our five senses here in the world, in the corporeal world and then we talked about in the spiritual world, Hochma, Bina, Zeir Anpin and Malchut. Is there a parallel between the corporeal senses and one of those?
R. Not for now. There are and we will learn.
24. S. (41:29) Thank you very much for everything. You supplied us now with work in the completing of the different desires and I wanted to ask about two different examples that I am thinking about. If I am now in the lesson and I also want to listen to the Rav and the questions, and in parallel I have a desire for connection with my friends in the ten of course, which I do sometimes connect and sometimes yes and sometimes not. These are two desires that are positive. How in this example, can I complete between the desires to jump from one to the other? Can you give an explanation on this?
R. I can't really give you an explanation. Soon I hope we will enter such states that there you will also work in both together because in each and every action, corporeally, you will give it spiritual weight and then accordingly you will weigh.
25. S. (42:53) You said that for the time being no one knows himself, herself. How can we enter into contact with a root of our soul? Again, you said that no one knows ourselves and that is right. How do we come into contact with our root?
R. How to come into expression? We will reveal that later on.
26. S. (43:51) Can you explain what the development in our feeling is? You said the main thing is to incorporate in feeling.
R. Development in feeling, look at the difference between a small child and an adult. How different they are developed. How much feeling, how much sensation are in a child and in the adult. What do you see in the child? He screams and cries, laughs, things like that, the small extreme, emotions, one way and the other. What do you see in an adult? There is a plethora of sensations and their expressions; that’s the difference.
S. It seems like the development, if we are talking about the development and we are comparing children and adults that it becomes limited.
R. We feel that they are limited but we feel that they are limited from the side of nature and by adults, it is as a result of their own lack of development, there are differences. In this we will learn.
27. S. (45:44) About uniting our desires, what is this individual desire if we need to work and exert in this?
R. To work with desires like this in general or not I cannot really say there is a lack of. There is a lack of elements in the question.
28. S. (46:13) If we take the example that the ten is like a molecule that is made of atoms and on one hand they do not disperse and on the other hand don't come closer than a certain balance between them, a certain energetic balance and when you try to pressure them and make them tighter together beyond the gaps between them in this balance, they start to return to their state and they do not permit that. That is how it happens to us also after the conventions. We see that later we want to return to those convenient comfortable states, we do not want to spread too much and we also don't want to come close too much, so we come back to some interim balance. From that point of view the connection, the unity, is that about people, about their desire?
R. No, connection is a process that presents to each one, that shows to each one, how much coming closer is beneficial, is effective and to the same extent everyone tries to come closer; to work together.
S. This closeness causes that beyond a certain level causes suffering, like you are entering a bus together with people and then later you want to get out of there and distance from them, to get to some place where you are comfortable?
R. Yes, correct. It is naturally like that, that is how our ego cares for our worries in such a manner but along with this we are gradually drawing the light that reforms and it gives us a sensation that the good future, that our attainment, understanding, is all specifically in coming closer between us. That specifically we find that same point, that same field in which it clarifies to us our entire micro universe within everyone of us.
S. Meaning in a certain moment beyond that force that rejects these particles from one another, we also need emotionally to locate that point which draws you to connection with the friends?
R. Yes, yes. It is either that it will come out of envy, out of desire for honor or intellect, glory or that you will hear it, you'll find it out of this that you attain some great goal, that everyone comes closer to it but one way or another you see before you everything that happens in the world, despite that it is an an anti-egoistic emotion you are still going in the direction of connection, with all of the suffering and hardships along the way but it is going towards connection. And we hope that nonetheless it will be a quick process and good for everyone.
29. S. (50:28) Why do we have such states that the degree of a person and closeness to the Creator is not revealed to a person?
R. You cannot measure this nearness or distance. If you would live, let us say, as some small, tiny cockroach like inside an area of a millimeter, you think that this was your entire world and thus, we cannot see our true state. You understand that nonetheless it is the scale of the measure here, of distance or gaps, differences, it is really unknown to us. Thus, as much as we grow it has opened up to us more and more in accordance to the correct perception that we develop. Don't worry, the moment that you will be able to see something more suitable, it is like with a small child, if he is really, really small, he is in his small corner and nothing really interests him. He doesn't really see them, he doesn't identify them, only his toys and afterwards as he grows, he has more and more and more desires and it's simply, he's already grasping all sorts of new things and so on, that is how we are. Everything in time, everything according to the upper force that cares for us, to develop us, up to His degree; the highest possible.
S. You said that everything happens according to time that comes from the upper Force but I don't know it is, I feel that I am putting effort, I'm exerting but I still don't feel myself in a desire at the internal level. I still feel that I didn't reach my potential spiritually. I'm not satisfied with the result that I have out of the work. Yes I have something but.
R. Excellent as much as you will advance you will have more desires like this because otherwise you will not advance. You will advance only out of lack.
Excerpt 6 twice (53:55) “The descent he has received is for his own good..”
30. R. (58:10) Meaning that we need to in every descent, need to reach this sensation that we are more and more needy of the Creator and this first of all is the benefit of the descent. That we feel how much in the distance from Him we are lost.
31. S. (58:37) How can we build a deficiency that is intensifying and growing day after day?
R. Lacks or deficiencies can be different. I think that the correct lack we receive even if we are drawn artificially to come closer to the friends and then as a result we are awakening the light that reforms. It illuminates on us and then we feel the additional true lack. Meaning, as much as possible to come closer to the friends. That awakens a new, true spiritual desire between us.
32. S. (01:00:10) How does the Creator help in the state when a person asks, what is wanted of me, what do I need to do, how can the Creator help here?
R. I think the most ordinary thing in such a state is when the Creator throws him from his place, makes him fall, and then the person feels an even greater fall, and then he feels that he must.
S. In what does he understand?
R. He sees that he is getting farther away from spiritually then he begins to ask.
33. S. (01:01:02) What do we need to understand in the concept of between heaven and earth?
R. What needs to be understood in this term, between heaven between and earth, between the desire to bestow and the desire to receive, the intention to bestow and then intention to receive, that is the difference between heaven and earth
34. S. (01:01:33) Sometimes thoughts of separation come to a person, he overcomes these thoughts with prayer and all the actions, but it is all done in our thoughts and nothing done practically, externally expressed. Is such an action called renewal?
R. How do you know, first of all, that you are not influencing the world, you do not see it but you are influencing, you are bestowing. It is like babies, let's say I have 100 babies, and so for them we need to open up a place for doctors and caretakers and schools, and to print books, and to sew clothing. Do they know about this, these babies, they know nothing about this, but around them the world is engaging in many things in order to provide them what they need, and the same thing with us. We advance in spirituality and we do not know, and we do not understand how we’re advancing, we don’t feel our actions but the upper forces, in accordance, are organizing between them, and they advance us. They advance us. So let's not judge things by what we feel or understand, but rather believe the Kabbalists and what they say, that there is great work in the forces of the Creator, in the upper forces, around us, in order to bring us to gradual development. That we will truly be privileged to resemble the Creator, to be Bnei Adam, human beings.
S. Yes but my question is whether our work is only in thought, is that considered innovation?
R. Yes, yes.
S. Even though it was not executed externally?
R. I don’t know what practically, actively means, everything is in thought, all will be clarified in thought.
35. S. (01:04:09) What is the condition by which a person will get to see that he is distanced from spirituality?
R. That he should work hard in spirituality as much as possible and then he will see how much he did not attain yet what is needed.
36. S. (01:04:45) How do we ask friends for help to become stronger when we are between heaven and earth?
R. If all of us will hold one another, even if we are hanging between heaven and earth, we will be able to determine and the heavens will be with us. It all depends only on the connection between us.
37. S. (01:05:32) He writes in the text that he agrees to remain in the current state all the days of his life, so if I agree to remain in my state all the days of my life, is that good or not?
R. On one hand, it is good, because it turns out that you are not demanding anything of the Creator and the righteous one is happy with what he has.
S. In what is it not good?
R. There are things that you still need to arrange and ask for and request that they will work in you.
38. S. (01:06:19) In a meeting this week we didn't attend in the evening, we experienced a great connection and joy, but then a friend expressed his fear that if we will be too filled with joy we will draw the opposite force, it will actually lead us to a descent, is that fear justified that if we demonstrate too much joy can we draw upon us opposite states?
R. Yes, yes the joy must be only as a result of good deeds, that is it. Kabbalists warn us about this.
39. S. (01:07:10) In our work in the ten we noticed that we are hearing the same lesson, the same advice, but we are receiving them in a different way, what does this absorption and perception depend upon and how can we come to that perception unified?
R. Not necessarily.
40. S. (01:07:46) What is replacing a force?
R. Meaning that there was one force and now there's a different force.
S. What enables us to do this transition, change?
R. That I see that I have a better opportunity.
41. S. (01:08:09) What is a descent, a fall, called in this excerpt?
R. It is in relation to man and he determines what a fall is.
S. Let's say I tried to incorporate with the friends everyday and I see that it does not work out, or to the contrary, this incorporation enters into me and it awakens in me rejection and all kinds of other unpleasant states in our work, is that considered a descent?
R. The fall or descent, it depends on what state you’re in.
S. Let's say I feel that the forces leave me as a result, is that considered a descent, if we add forces, is it considered an ascent?
R. It’s personal so only you can decide this.
42. S. (01:09:18) How can we use the state of descent in order to advance the ten, should one tell one’s friend the condition he has been through?
R. For this you need to read Rabash’s articles where he writes about this. Find these articles and turn to the friends that need to take care of you, they will explain to you where it is, read the article together, and there are many articles that talk about such different states.
Excerpt #7 (01:10:19) “Wise who sees the future since he can come to a descent..”
43. R. (01:11:59) Meaning anyone who really wants to advance, directly, quickly, incessantly, then he cares for progress in each and every state, even in the state of ascent he's searching for what more can I add in order to advance from each state of mine.
Excerpt #8 (01:12:28) “Our sages said, each day, they will be as new in your eyes..”
44. S. (01:14:33) I would like to refine what intentions should we enter the lesson with?
R. I’m going to tell you about it now, how many times you've heard about it, what should be the preparation before the lesson. Open the articles of Baal HaSulam or Rabash, typically Rabash, and look in there what he writes. You ask me such questions, it’s like a tenth grader asking what you study in the first grade.
45. S. (01:15:29) I feel myself and my ten as like a small child towards the friends, I feel like a sort of shame, how can I get rid of this shame towards the ten and the world group?
R. I think that the best thing is to serve them somehow. Bring them candy, prepare some coffee for them, and that is how you will get closer to them and with women who are close to one another, there is no shame.
46. S. (01:16:27) You answered about the matter of happiness to the friend from Italy, that it needs to be only a result of good deeds, but I heard from you more than once that even Rabash, that he awakened himself to be joyful though dancing for example, so it does not really clear how do we need to act in comparison to his happiness, do we need to awaken it directly, or do we need to act to do some actions?
R. Both ways you should act, meaning on the one hand, you need to jump and dance as Rabash did, in order to force yourself to change your mood and your thoughts. He also had such states, on the other hand, you can do it thanks to the influence of the friends on you. So both ways, physically and according to the mood.
S. [no translation]
R. I don't know what you mean, just listen to my words and don't add any meaning of your own.
47. S. (01:18:05) How to learn to work constantly without any stop and to see those pauses as opportunities?
R. Only if you are connected to the friends, you can quickly go from state-to-state and constantly be in an ascent.
S. What other deficiencies can be found in the state of an ascent when perfection can be revealed?
R. Many, start ascending and you will find out, all the deficiencies are revealed specifically during the ascent.
48. S. (01:18:58) It says in the excerpt that every day every will be as new, in every single state what does the prayer towards adhesion, inner adhesion need to be, not the prayer in words, but inner prayer, in the emotion.
R. I do not understand.
S. In every new state, what should our inner prayer be towards the inner adhesion between us be, without words but inner feelings?
R. It has to be based on your inner feelings. You want me to make you a drawing of your inner feelings, you need to extract them by yourself and try to determine, feel and arrange them.
S. It's hard for me to phrase it.
R. No one will do it for you.
49. S. (01:20:01) It says that thanks for the habit and for that reason he's not rewarded with the purpose of the creation and we need to make our habit a second nature, so how can we combine the two?
R. You should always and in everything and as much as possible, put everything into a habit, on the other hand, you should always add to it, each day new feelings and new analysis.
50. S. (01:20:47) The question is about work and habit, how to reach a state that the work will not be out of the state of habit?
R. If you are looking for additional, greater connection with the friends each day, you will see how each day you will get a totally different kind of work.
51. S. (01:21:34) How can we build a greater deficiency everyday?
R. Through mutual effort.
52. S. (01:21:49) What are ascents from the explanation of the wisdom of Kabbalah?
R. Ascent is how much I need the help of the Creator in order to reach the next degree of connection.
53. S. (01:22:15) How do you see every day as new?
R. I try to prepare these things from the evening before, when I wake up in the morning, I wake up as a baby who wants to see the world through new eyes, everything is new and he wants to play with everything and the whole world is before him.
54. S. (01:22:52) I heard you say that when there is a descent, we need to dance like Rabash or to turn the ten, what are the laws of connecting to the ten if I hate them, should I speak to them about my lowly state or stay silent?
R. Read about in the articles, about the society, in Rabash’s articles, you have a ton of material, I don’t see that you actually know it.
55. S. (01:23:29) How can we be ready to receive Torah everyday to achieve Dvekut with the Creator?
R. I said it already, that you have to prepare the day before for today, and also write down certain questions that awaken without answers, and this way you will always have what to think about and what to yearn for.
