1. Rav’s Introduction: All the more we're going to learn from nevertheless we have to go over them so they would establish clear lines in our hearts that the entire complex of these excerpts and that we would get excited moved by them again. Let's read soon, one flow until there will be an impression left and then we will discuss them for those who want to understand them and feel them and absorb them correctly.

Excerpt 15 (01:43 - 02:45)

2. R. Meaning because our souls are constructed in such a way that it includes 10 parts, this should be the path from entering the soul until it receives, absorbs in the 10th part. We are also built this way, we have to create a similar copy in the connection between us in a group of 10 people as we call it a congregation, a group, a class, it doesn't matter what we call it. But it is recommended to be 10. A congregation is no less than 10. It is also recommended that it be no more than 10 because it becomes malfunctioning. We can't even count more than 10 according to the number of fingers we have. So we have to give importance to each and every friend and if we have fewer or more in a group, it will work itself out, they'll arrange it for us from above, all those changes. But as Kabbalists explain to us, we have to be in accordance with the general structure of the soul which is entirely made up of these 10 parts. And specifically in the correct connection between these 10 we built this place where the Creator is revealed.

3. S. (04:48) The Creator is revealed in the first nine friends?

R. If there aren't a complete 10, look there's a different matter here. It's possible that as many as friends we have 5, 7, 8 in the group. Nevertheless it is divided into 10. It's not us who divided it but it is important to reach the form of 10. Also corporeally it’s simpler, it's more correct, we will learn how spirituality is divided or distributed into corporeality. And the upper light arranges for itself the place where it can appear, it decides but it is recommended that we decide as well.

S. But we're not talking about a physical number of friends, right? What does it mean ‘the first nine’ and where is the Creator revealed?

R. We're not speaking a physical number, it's true but the upper light will divide and distribute it. Even if you have six or seven people, the upper light divides them into 10. How it is doing it, we will see later because each one of us also includes 10 and that comes to us from the structure of Adam HaRishon so however we distribute it that's how it's going to be.

S. Yes, but where is the Creator revealed? In the whole structure of the 10 Sefirot or only in the first nine?

R. The Creator is revealed in the 9 upper Sefirot where from my will to receive I wish to adapt myself to them. Meaning if I have 9 friends before me it doesn't matter how many exactly but let's say in my attitude towards them, when I care about them where I wish to reveal the Creator, I want everything to happen in them and not in my Malchut in my will to receive, which is the egoistic desire. But if I restrict it, this Malchut, the will to receive and I wish to deliver, reveal everything to the friends then the Creator is revealed there.

S. What is the Creator who is revealed in the friends?

R. The force of love and bestowal, the force of connection, the force of attraction, concern, care, all those things that are not typical for the will to receive.

S. My concern for the friends, that's clear. But what does it mean I am concerned for the friends and therefore to the Creator?

R. The sum total of how you care about your friends, this care and concern reaches such a complex called the Creator. This complex, this mechanism, in it you are disconnected from yourself. You deliver yourself to them with concern, with soul devotion and you wish for your whole life to be felt in them. This means that you are coming closer to your connection to the Creator.

S. There is a feeling of each friend in this and the general feeling so the feeling of all the friends? Is that something additional?

R. This is called the congregation, a group as one. As one man in one heart. This is called the general Kli, the spiritual vessel. When you feel the entire group as one, then in that, you are ready for the revelation of the Creator.

S. And what can I give?

R. When I disconnect from myself and I am incorporated in them and I feel them instead of me. I feel myself as serving them, as giving them, providing them. That's it.

S. My role is to disconnect from myself. Is that all I need to do, is that my whole role? To feel everyone together and then begins a life in the friends?

R. Yes. And this life where you are depicting yourself correctly in the friends are already spiritual life. It only seems to be in the friends, you discover that this is the true you, the true spiritual you. It's not that you are disconnected from yourself and connected to the friends and now you are in them, and where is the true you? You discover that this is the true you. You discover it as you are the part in you that resembles the Creator. In that you discover the spiritual self and the Creator that fills me. This is all revealed when you are incorporated in the friends.

S. My corporeal physical self, egoistic self - is it needed only in order to disconnect from it and be incorporated in the friends?

R. Yes, only for that. If you would be created only in your will to bestow, you wouldn't feel those things. Every feeling that we have, we are not included in the Creator but we are independent, because we come to each and every feeling through the connection. Our egoistic desire doesn't want it and we are building this process, this occasion where we fill the friends and by that we fill the Creator. For this, we are called creatures unlike the still, vegetative animate and people of this world.

5. S. (12:46) What does it mean to ‘build a place made of 10 parts’?

R. When I have to feel their deficiencies, their spiritual deficiencies as my own. It is truly my own deficiencies, I don't have a deficiency for spirituality except for when I begin to be incorporated in them and I wish to help them, to fill them. Then I feel their deficiencies. I feel it. I can't say that’s what's in them. I'm always the creative being, I only discovered what I feel, what I discover in them. But I reveal it in then and this is called my soul. Meaning there isn't a soul in me except under the condition that I disconnected from myself and am incorporated in the others. And then the desires of the others become my soul.

6. S. (14:08) In the last couple of days while we are working on the articles on the Shechina, it gives me this feeling of heaviness, is this correct. This feeling that these excerpts bring heaviness?

R. The articles about the Shechina bring heaviness, confusion, disorientation because this is the only thing we have to build by ourselves from the connection between us. From the attitude to the other from these efforts, these exercises, we’re trying to come out of ourselves towards the other, here is the problem. We don't quite have the feeling, the mind for it, the inclination, disposition for it. We have to try to somehow continue until we begin to feel. We don’t feel in the beginning, especially. There's a great rejection from connecting with the friends. How come I need to connect with them? How am I going to subjugate myself? How come I need to accept their desires as greater, more important than my desire? Everything works against the ego. So it's not simple. There's also a scrutiny here: what do I need to show the friends, what do I not show their friends? The extent to which I need to protect myself in order to not expose everything that's in my heart. On the other hand, I wish to reveal what's in their heart and maybe I don't. What's important to me about their heart? Meaning the work here is work against the will to receive. That is becoming with each passing day according to a person's efforts but it becomes more difficult. Here we are building our desire. Ultimately, we awaken the reforming light and this light comes and influences us in different ways. Our efforts both on wanting to connect and not wanting to connect, nevertheless the light influences all of our efforts. Also what we don't want to do -- that also enters the work of correction -- in the end, it turns out that the important thing is the connection. From these connections, we will be able to come to a state where nevertheless we are beginning to feel. This takes a great deal of time, months, years, even years depending on the size of the soul. If the soul is great, it requires a long time before a person understands. Although he hears and he reads but before he understands in the heart -- because the heart understands that he has no choice -- he must include the heart in the friends inside his heart. This is called the connection of broken parts, the parts that broke in the sin of the Tree of Knowledge and put them back together. In this way, he's preparing the vessel for the revelation of the Creator.

7. S. (18:45) What is the role of the 10 in the Partzuf?

R. The 10 becomes a Partzuf. Soon we will begin to study TES and it will be felt and understood, let's hope, understood. And more than that, felt. That we are doing these actions in our 10 as written in the TES and TES will become as a guide of what we need to do each time in order to receive and see results. So we will read what Baal HaSulam explains and inside of us, goes through us, like we are that system where he explains for us what to do. And if we do it, this is what we should feel and we will feel it.

8. S. (20:01) The friend who spoke now, spoke about the burdening. In our 10, it is to the contrary. For us, we feel extraordinary relations. All the excerpts that we read seem so clear to us, it's never been like that. In general, since we started learning about the Exile, it feels like we have moved into a different level or quality-wise. Not just in our 10 but all over the world kli there’s this impression. You can't compare it to the past.

R. We are going from state-to-state, from degree to degree. There is going to be difficult states, great fusion, misunderstandings, lack of feeling, this is called a time of building the vessel. And then the revelation of the upper light in the vessel is the time of receiving the reward. This is how it works. Day and night, night and day. I am happy that you are familiar with both. Try not to forget that there is always darkness and light, and the darkness and light come to us intermittently, one after the other. There cannot be any light except after darkness. It shall be evening and morning, night and day, that's how it is. Therefore, if you feel yourself now as if everything is clear and understood, when you're advancing there will be other times. You have to be ready for it and understand you can’t have one without the other, and accept and bless the bad as the good. We're coming here to build a vessel to reveal the Creator. To give Him contentment, that's it.

9. S. (22:36) When you talk about the Shechina. In some excerpts it talks about the Shechina as the vessel and other excerpts as the feeling, is this how it is?

R. Yes. You can talk about the Shechina from the side of the vessels, it's us when we connect between us and when we do we build this place, this common desire that's made of our individual desires that make concessions over themselves and wish to be connected to reveal the Creator. And the revelation of the Creator inside the created being is called the Shechina when the light is revealed inside the vessel, yes both. The Shechina from inside the vessels are the broken vessels that made efforts to make concessions and when they connect they reach a state where they are like the light -- the light is one and the vessel becomes to some extent one -- to the extent it can reveal the light.

10. S. (24:06) In the last line in the excerpt, it says to connect to an important thing. What is an important thing?

R. The important thing is the connection between the friends, the congregation, yes. What does he say? He says the 10, Malchut is called a congregation and it is considered important. If there is no 10 there, then it is not a congregation. Meaning if we connect between us, in truth it doesn't matter the number according to physical headcount, we don't even have specifically 10 people, men, and then you'll have a congregation from that. Our group, we do it that way because it's recommended. The intention is not for that, the intention is for us to connect as much as we try, it's best to have around the number 10 for the connection between us called a congregation would be very important. This is the main thing, the main thing is the quality of connection, the level of connection.

11. S. (25:48) We’re fighting very hard for the connection between us on top of all the troubles that surface. We're asking together so what more can help us succeed?

R. First of all, what can succeed is a thought of our entire world Kli, it has a huge power, we just don't know how to use it, that's on the one hand. On the other hand it's recommended to speak among the friends, disconnect from the trouble and try to rise above them and then decide how much you are capable of being as one, and speak about it. You'll see how these troubles disappear, dissipate, it all depends on the connection between us. There is no other reason for any trouble. It doesn't matter which, in what form, as it comes only in order to awaken us towards connection. There are no other actions on our part relative to the end of the next correction except connection. Try to see examples from others. Envy is very important here, to be envious of others and for us to advance. Tell the others, it's not a problem. It's very good that we speak from one group to another about the troubles. Just be precise, make sure you're not confusing anyone. Rather only if there is a huge need and you are certain that you are helping your groups and you're helping another group when you are sharing that with them. And you'll see how well it works.

12. S. (28:16) When I work for a connection, I try to be connected to the friends and sensitive to them. What should be my approach to the Creator? Should I await His appearance in the 10 or should I act towards Him?

R. I don't know, what is the dweller?

S. What should be the right approach to the Creator, should I wait for Him or should I do something active?

R. You can bestow to the Creator only through connection. If you wish to bestow to the Creator, if you wish to ask of Him, to receive help from Him, you can pray even when you're not connected to anyone else. But to actually bestow, for that you need a vessel. A whole vessel and then you need connection. You cannot receive from the Creator more than the tiny light it comes to correct you, the reforming light. And if you want bigger lights to reform you, you need first to be connected to friends, the prayer of many, that's what saves everything.

S. How can I be active towards something that is concealed from me?

R. If you can connect with the friends and turn to the Creator, we need to understand that this concealment is only to our own benefit. We can then relate to the Creator like a baby. What does he know about his mother? He knows that there's someone he can cry to, call on, ask and receive and we are the same. Although we don't have such a feeling as babies naturally but we have to develop it between us.

S. After we get close in the 10, there are new disturbances immediately in corporeality and in spirituality. Is it really so or should I only see it as I have changed and there's not really disturbances?

R. No. Each degree has its own disturbances and we need to get into your vessel more and more additional vessels. And they appear more and more of them and you discover them. That's why it's good, it's natural, it's how things should be. ‘He who is greater than his friend, his inclination is greater,’ he has greater disturbances and ‘there is no righteous person in the land who did good before sinning first.’ All the sins appear, all the problems that you correct them. Everything moves from corruption to correction. When the corruptions appear, there is no problem with us, we didn’t perform any corruption, the system did it. The Creator shattered the system. He created all the corruptions.

That's why it says “I have created the evil inclination,” we simply receive these desires and we filter them, sort them correctly, arrange them properly and raise them to correction. We shouldn't feel that these corrupted desires are ours. It all comes to us from the sin of the Tree of Knowledge. If I relate to it in this way, I determine the correct attitude to all of reality. I am not the one who sinned, I am not the one who will correct it. Rather I am only asking the Creator to correct what He prepared and along the way I am between the two, all the time. Such an attitude is very healthy. It disconnects us from the sins of guilt where we constantly torment ourselves. Those who torment themselves, they're not terrible, they are not terrible, they're not bad. Sin appears, that’s true. All those sins, all those horrible forms of ours, such desires that we are ashamed of, we suffer from, but in truth, it all comes from the shattering of the vessel, there is nothing that appears that didn't come from there. So we have to be more open, more honest and with our mutual help, to help each other out of this pit we are in, this hole.

13. S. (33:55) You said that what depends on a person is what he feels through the friends. How do we direct ourselves correctly to the friends, so that we feel?

R. I need first of all to go over the verses we read in the morning lesson again, then try to see how those verses are implemented on the friends and my attitude towards the friends that's it. All the rest you will see from - how should I - put it from the development of these inner scrutinies.

14. S. (35:02) You said I'm incorporated in the desires of the friends and discovering a new reality. This new world, new reality, am I incorporated in the desire of one friend or just reality? Does it just change depending on how much we participate in this situation?

R. Eventually you have to include the entire 10 in you, you incorporate in the 10, include them in you and include yourself in them.

15. S. (35:59) How can the 10 focus on the goal being to delete the Creator?

R. I understand this is still concealed from you since your problem is your ego, it sticks, there are troubles, still determine what you want and what you do. This is true but nevertheless we need to help one another. Each one needs to show the others how much he is thinking of the 10, of the Creator, even made this into a duty of sorts where I know I have to take turns and holding the right intention towards society two hours a day and their two hours each time like the rotation of friends who need to try every two hours, there are friends who need to remind the friends without using them or bothering them but reminding them through all our social activities that we wish to enter contentment to the Creator through that. That is the final goal and even if we can't say that it is burning for us that we suffer from our inability to get to the contentment nevertheless we need to speak this way and gradually it will be revealed this way, like in all of our study first and coercion and then by desire.

16. S. (38:40) Perspective of broken desire, the Divinity is a broken in the wild, the corrected desire, it's a light where the Creator is incorporated?

R. Yes.

17. S. (39:15) How can we know in the 10 that we have begun to build the vessel you talked about?

R. To the extent that you feel a connection between you and you wish to be so to one another when you feel like your future depends on the extent to which you are connected. This is how you check your progress to what extent we feel that our future depends on them, the measure of degree of our connection later you will have different kinds of measurements according to the coarseness reflected light, screen revealing the Creator later will be like in the Partzuf, but for the time being we are in such stages where we wish to reach simply the arrangement of the Partzuf.

S. So the minute we begin to build our vessels we will know that we are correcting them?

R. Yes, it will all felt in practice but between us.

18. S. (40:31) The effort to feel the friends in the 10 like the general structure of the soul, what should add in our discernment about this concept when we study TES about the structure of the soul?

R. We will feel what TES is speaking of and we will scrutinize what is the meaning of the Partzuf, what is inner light, surrounding light, various things, we will feel how these are in all of us. Each one will feel in it his participation, in his influence, his activities, that's what we will have, we will what TES will try to realize what we're reading about, who implemented otherwise what benefits are we deriving from it? We can read it, even if we don't understand what we are learning as it is written but because we have this great yearning to understand, what we're learning, we will awaken the lights so we need to imagine that, I want it, I want to feel what is inner light, what is surrounding light, what does it mean that the screen is purified, what is the screen? It is the connection between us, what does it mean, this purity, it gradually disappears and then we return to that state where we have no common body and we can't discover the Creator as before who is filling us, to some extent filling the Toch of the Partzuf. So we shouldn't be living in the illusion try to incorporate in it as much as possible, this is the meaning of the wisdom of Kabbalah in practice where building these exercises from within our soul the connection between us brings us back to a certain connection of the soul of Adam HaRishon. We are building our soul and we grow it more and accordingly we discover the Creator, both as our surrounding and our inner, come and see, BoReh is the inner quality comment see is the inter quality and outside of that is the one who stands around us is surrounding.

19. S. (44:07) Why do I need to incorporate the desire of the friends in me?

R. It seems to you that there are friends and there is a great big world around you. It is nothing new, is happening in truth, it's what you begin to see you are living in an illusion and the wisdom of Kabbalah shows it to you and revealed to you. That it seems to you that there are people around you still vegetative and humans speaking bigger 8 and when you connect to the connect with them you wish to be connected with Him and you don't want to be together with them those are all exercises to build and you a true correct send where eventually you discover the whole world, all the world's, all the parts in 15 everything that exists in reality all belongs to you. Then you begin to attain your soul, the true form or eternal form that you exist in. Right now exists for a very short time we talked about the number of years that you live in this world, that's it and there's no more after that it disappears, it departs and doesn't return. When you are in this world you need to try to attain at least your own true spiritual level and continue to exist, it's not and those concepts of time when I speak about continuing but I have no choice, I can't talk about it in a more correct form, meaning the fact that you are connecting with others by that you are reaching the structure of your very soul. We are not speaking of that anything else, don't you have nowhere to run to very simple. If it's not now, then later, you need to know your true structure, your soul and to discover it and exist in it.

20. S. (47:30) Can a 10 become a Partzuf if it is not homogenous as an active part, as a passive participant, parts in the 10, it's not to do with it, it doesn't depend on the 10 only my perception of the 10?

R. The 10 can become spiritual 10 by each of the friends for now, doing as much as you can do for now in connection with the others each one as much as he can some more some last some people seem to us very strange that they have no desire to connect. Some are so egoistic and individualistic that they can't connect to others. I am like that too. There are those who the Creator created that are like a bowl, they like to hang out in society with friends, they are willing to hug the friends and even in their corporeal life this is how they always behave, so there are all kinds. We need to understand what we received from the Creator, the command to create a 10 out of ourselves, it is the right command and there's no chance here but as He says to us in The Freedom and in The Arvut, mutual guarantee, we have to come to a state where each one complements the other and as much as I complement the other and how much the friends compliment we don't know but we should nevertheless try to be a group.

S. Can the active part in the 10 be the part of the friends that advanced 100%?

R. Yes that's how it should be, each one should complement the 10 as much as he can with all his might.

21. S. (50:09) Can we say that when you bestow, you give more pleasure to the friends and the Creator and you receive more resistance in the will to receive?

R. Sure he is greater than his friend, he's inclinations greater, the greater you are in connection, the more you get disturbances against the next and that's how you advance, of course, that's how it should be.

Excerpt 16 (50:53 - 51:19)

22. R. It's in addition to what we had before, It is written there should be 10 parts, how should we then discover that we should connect into 10 parts although we may be fewer than 10 or with a little more than 10 but that's how the upper light divides us. It's not according to the number of heads or the structure of each one fat or skinny, veteran or more knowledgeable or less, no, we'll see how it all falls into place through the reforming light it creates a structure out of it and in the structure we will feel like we belong to parts of 1 structure and within this desire we will work. That's why it is written in the Zohar wherever there are 10 the Divinity dwells meaning the upper light the revelation of the Creator is always in the 10 in a place where there are 10 men, there is a place for the dwelling of the Divinity there's a place for connection and the more they connect as one man with one heart accordingly the power of the light is revealed in them.

Excerpt 17 (52:45 - 54:42) Twice

23. R. In other words the one who annuls the most before the society is the greatest because he is the one who gives the force to the society so it can exist. According to this the upper light is revealed to the extent that he is an egoist and annuls himself only in order to be connected to the society. Therefore it is important for us to do as much as possible for as Rabash writes about it, everyone, all the Kabbalists - the more a person dimensions himself in the connection in the society, the more he tries to be in this and at least he tries to set an example of it maybe he is not really so inside but on the outside he tries to set an example to others. The others look at him and begin to really be impressed with him and beginning to really bestow and connect and that influences him in return, the one who started it all, so now the friends influence him back and he is impressed by what he actually started. He started it kind of jokingly not for real but when it comes back through others he accepts it as real and then through envy, lust, and honor that he is in, he begins to feel that others are better and that I am behind. As a result it pushes him forward and that is very important for us to really feel how the friends help each and every one. You cannot be impressed by the Creator, you can't be impressed by regular people only in the 10 and we find the right examples for inspiration for advancement.

24. S. (57:04) Inside the 10 we tried to create this common prayer. How should it be my personal attitude towards the friend, towards the prayer, how to approach it, serve it from what we read?

R. First of all I have to see what the friends want and try to be incorporated in that desire and check if I agree with it or not? I don't erase myself from the beginning of the priority, I don't erase myself. I want to check if they are thinking correctly or not. I may show them I make sure then that what I think they're doing is not correct and that the desire they want to reveal seems as incorrect. I need to scrutinize it so I tell them that I think it should be; otherwise, this is how we try to scrutinize perhaps in this we can help each other also and come to a common desire that is stronger and more internal. This is how we work. You will get all of them through the process of your advancement without any problems.

25. S. (58:46) Not long ago you explained that there are exercises that allow us to build the correct attitude, how can we turn our corporeal senses with spiritual senses?

R. We cannot, one is unrelated to the other, the physical senses are physical senses, that's it and each one, according to how he was born, according to his childhood, according to his life, that's where he is in the sense but the spiritual senses we have to develop. The spiritual senses work in the opposite way, its orientation is opposite compared to corporeal senses. In corporeal senses I'm always aiming for my will to receive, tastes, is suited, comfortable, and convenient and so on. In spiritual senses I use completely different senses, my direction in how I bestow, in what I envy so what can I do to bestow upon others? That's how I advance then, only in this way.

26. S. (01:00:40) How can we show an example of diminishing myself before society because most examples we have is to advance, organize and lead the way?

R. Yes, this is why if we are not arranged in this way, we have to take a roster, let's say each one is responsible for awakening society 2 hours a day within an hour a day, because besides the morning lesson and other times we have say maybe 10 hours so each one tries to think during this time about how I waken the society. Sometimes we can even connect among us that already exists. So the thought about society, a person should grow accustomed to thinking about the society, thinking about the group, thinking about the benefit of the society. Habit becomes second nature, we have to get used to it, to look at the friends and to get from them a good example and you look at the friends each of them works according to his character, according to his ability and all kinds of ways, towards the society. I have to look at all those forms, be incorporated in them and see how I personally can bestow as well.

27. S. (01:02:50) Each 10, each one of us has a different part that preserves us individuality. Is it like that or we are like drops of water in a river where you cannot distinguish one from the other?

R. As much as you may want to be similar to each other externally or internally it won't help, you won't be able to change yourself each one is built however he is made. Instead, we have to try to get an example from each other. How much each one according to his nature bestows upon the society and then to see how much I can do you spell upon the society according to my nature. In this way to be corrected, one may do something other things and another other things. I look at them, I envy them and I want to participate too, otherwise how do I advance? Only by my participation, so I need to see what I can bestow upon them and that's how we advance and complement and as so by a complete vessel by which we reveal the Creator. Then by all kinds of conflicts are revealed between us this is called the coarseness that is revealed and we on top of the coarseness should connect to one another once again and maintain the structure of the 10, the complete vessel where we all compliment everyone, everyone and when we come to a connection to the Creator. The Creator means come and see and thereby reveal Him.

28. S. (01:05:33) We need to make a decision in the 10 all before all the tens but all the friends have a totally different opinion so what would be the correct answer? With so many attitudes seeing the same state.

R. You need to show them how you see connection out of all those views, don't go in there with your view, rather try to show them that you see how it is possible to connect all those contradicting views that's it, give them an example. Each one should be different from the others but in this difference they don't breach the connection, they do not disturb the connection with one another it's like when you build a house, some people work with concrete some with wood some with glass some with electricity, all kinds of things one does not disturb the other, they work together so that in the end they'll have something common, collaborative. We don't need to see the differences between us, something that interrupts or interferes, we just have to know how to connect them correctly. If it isn't like that we won't be able to reveal the Creator because the Creator means, come and see. When different elements connect into different elements, into some depiction and then we say, come and see, He is revealed to us before us out of the darkness, out of concealment, out of contradictions, out of questions, then He is revealed. So we need to know how we connect on top of all the differences precisely in this way we have the power and form of the revelation of the Creator. This is why there is a complete vessel that is not sure anything and the Creator breaks it and when we begin to resurrect this vessel out of all the shattering, out of the remnants, the residue, the shreds by this we begin to know Him precisely when the broken vessels can this way or that way, we tried to build out of them some sort of a mosaic, sort of a shape and this is called studying the Creator, you have made me.

29. S. (01:09:08) The connection in the 10 is necessary through the connection 10 which is the foundation we're going to expand towards connection between. If I see that certain tens are stuck on different problems because of their place where they're going through around us into 10 where we perceive reality can we add them to the prayer can we ask for them?

R. Of course you can pray for them for sure it is very important. One who prays for his friend is rewarded first, if you can absorb the deficiency of a friend and pray to the Creator with that deficiency you receive from the Creator the light first, the filling, the answer and then we can pass it on to them. If you know how to do this in practice, it is still not so much but in the future we know that this is how it works. No one can turn in the end, to the Creator for his own sake, only for the sake of others. That is the secret of the connection between all the broken parts and the vessel that is corrected, that no one asks or reveals his own trouble, his own shattering, only others feel and ask for Him. This is called helping one another that is the meaning of mutual responsibility within the vessel. Do you understand how important and great it is? No one can correct himself.

Excerpt 18 (01:11:35 - 01:13:57) Twice

30. R. To the extent of the connection of the friends in the group, to the extent they are drawn to be together above all of these disturbances in them, according to that power the Creator is revealed in them. Is it clear, correct? Now we are moving to the next part which is called craving for the Shechina.

Excerpt 21 (01:14:29 - 01:16:39)

31. R. According to our sorrow a reflection from day-to-day the more we want the revelation of the Shechina and the revelation of the Shechina is the revelation of the connection between us to bestow upon each other which is called the revelation of Divinity. So the more we yearn for this to happen between us, according to this feeling, we can say that we are advancing even though we feel distressed, because we really want connection so as to out of the connection to bestow upon the Creator. So we are seemingly in an intensified deficiency and a deficiency is never pleasant, we are deficient. Because we work hard to give to the Creator, to pleasing Him, for this reason this deficiency is similar to one who is lovesick. A lack for love that is actually sweet, it is called the pains for which there is no cancellation of Torah that we continue and extend with them.

32. S. (01:18:23) What does it mean no more than 10?

R. The problem is that we think that in spirituality we count everything according to our bodies. The flesh and blood bodies, it isn't like that. In spirituality, the division is different from corporeality where each one takes up a certain volume in the air. This is why we say this is a body, this is a person I, etc. corporeality. In spirituality it isn't like that. In spirituality we will learn how we divide and how we connect, I can't really express it now, and it will only confuse, but just think about it. It will give you more freedom to think that as you are now in corporeality, in spirituality you don't exist this way that will make it easier on you.

33. S. (01:19:57) What does it mean the expected desire, the deficiency, how is this expressed in the 10?

R. I don't know what the expected deficiency is. Where is it?

S. It is what you yearn for and expect, that which you hope for.

R. It is when I want through this desire to achieve a certain state. Where does he write about it?

S. I think in except 22, that's why he hopes the creator will light his eyes?

R. What is his expectation? For the Creator to open your eyes so that he will see that there is None Else Besides Him, that He fills up the whole world and that is it.

34. S. (01:21:28) Rav said earlier that no one corrects anything in himself but only in the other and you have to identify the shattering in the other and pray for that. The question is what is the shattering in the other? What do I see there? What is it that I am looking for?

R. This already we need to scrutinize, basically if I work in order to bestow and I put a restriction on my deficiencies, on my problems and I am incorporated in the others and feel the others, and the others problems become my problems. Then I pray for others, and in this way I correct them. The others see the deficiencies in me and pray for them and in this way we help each other and this is how we achieve corrections. In spirituality this is how it works. No one can correct himself. Just imagine if you are broken, how can you correct yourself? Unless you ask the Creator to correct the friend.

S. Broken means he has desires that cannot be fulfilled. What does it mean to be shattered?

R. Broken means that my desire works in order to receive. Try to be impressed by others and to ask for them and then you will see how you, when you begin to ask for others, correct yourself. The other exists only for this. It is actually imaginary that you have others in front of you. It is just that he who faults, faults in his own fault, all of the corrections are your own corrections.

S. Every week we need to see if the other is shattering? We need to ask?

R. Every shattering you see in the others is your own shattering because it is impossible that you will see something bad in another and something bad does not exist in you, otherwise how could you see something bad in the other.

Excerpt 22 (01:24:13 - 01:25:02)

35. R. The more we ask for friends, for others, for the world, this is the prayer and this is what is heard up above. I don't ask for myself because my whole self is spread out across reality therefore when I pray for everyone it is me praying for myself, it is my soul. So if we look at things correctly and everyone can be incorporated with all the problems and all the troubles at least of the 10 and then of our common vessel and then with the whole world. The Creator is bringing us, especially now in the last generation, in the era of the pandemic until we discover ourselves as having to belong to the common Kli (vessel). We don't get rid of any problems. You should have already seen this tendency, the disposition throughout the world, the Creator is exhausting and confusing us that he will do everything to make us understand that in the end as he writes here, that each one will feel that he is dependent upon everyone else, to such an extent that if I want to be happy, I want to make everyone happy otherwise I will not be happy.

Excerpt 23 (01:29:47 - 01:30:45)

36. R. WSQ (01:30:51): How can we constantly remind each other that we are in front of the Creator and the more we are together the closer it is to the Creator with a greater intensity of bestowing to Him, how can we do that? That is my question. How will we do this practically during the day? How can we remind each other that we are constantly in front of the Creator and each one reminds the other and this is how we feel ourselves always in front of the Creator, it is a kind of an art, a very subtle work. What should we do? But you can be sure that if we establish ourselves as a 10 standing before the Creator we will succeed, we already forced Him to be revealed to us. It is not such a big effort, but if we do this the Creator will be revealed.

37. R. (01:39:37) We will continue the last step of this subject is the revelation of the Shechina.

Excerpt 24 (01:39:42 - 01:40:31)

38. R. Meaning the more a person is in bestowal this is called faith so accordingly he expands, he broadens his vessel and he discovers more and more the presence of the Creator in him which is called the revelation of Shechina.

Excerpt 25 (01:40:57 - 01:41:55)

39. S. (01:42:03) What is faith? Is it an emotional state or intellectual state?

R. Faith is neither mind nor intellect or emotion. It is the quality of bestowal coming from above, from the upper light. The quality of Bina is called faith.

40. S. (01:42:28) During the day we connect a lot in the 10. How can we obligate or demand from a friend since I can only do this from myself, hence only doing actions from myself?

R. You don't demand anything from the friends, you only give them an example.

S. If everything is just an example, so where is the mutual commitment, Arvut?

R. By that you are forcing them, by giving them an example; when they feel they don't have it is the way you force them.

41. S. (01:43:18) In our community in Moscow, a group was chosen from a few tens and they are organizing an event in nature (a picnic), men and women. I don't see it as a beneficial action, but some other friends do want to participate, so how can we choose?

R. I'm not over there. I can't integrate in all of you, but I can say that we used to do these things in the parks, with the men, women, children and families coming as well. Where they used to eat something, read an article, I used to answer the questions and it used to continue for 2 or 3 hours. We would keep some distance between the men and the women, sitting in the chairs, men on one side and women on the other. If this is the way that it is happening I don't think there is something bad in that, also as you probably saw before this virus, that this is how we were eating together. Some men and women were sitting together in the same place with the children as well, it depends how you organize these things as it has to be in a way that no one puts pressure on the other or influences others the way he feels like. But rather that each one thinks how he can give the others a good spirit, a good warm place, correct and smiling. That this can really help but under the condition that this is how it really is.

Excerpt 26 (01:46:06 - 01:46:47)

Excerpt 27 (01:47:00 - 01:48:15)

42. R. Meaning the whole thing is a person thinks about himself he doesn't feel Shechina (the Divinity), he doesn't feel spirituality. When he starts thinking of others he immediately starts feeling accordingly, feeling spirituality, feeling the Creator. Everything depends upon how much he is adhered to this vessel of the others.

43. S. (01:48:52) I'm not asking for myself almost at all, I almost got used to it so what is the next thing, what is the inversion we are waiting for?

R. When you are asking for others this should bring you to a state that you will truly discover how much you cannot do that. There is no such thing in spirituality that a person makes an effort and he succeeds. On no action that a person does, in the most clean pure way to bestow, to connect, he does it and succeeds, it is impossible. Where can he succeed from if all of his vessels are broken? Now I will be successful at being a bird, so can I fly like a bird? No. Meaning I am trying to do something and succeeding is still that I'm being played with, like a child you know when children do something that we help them as if they succeed to strengthen them so that they will do more and more but in truth, in spirituality especially, ‘There is no righteous in the land that has not sinned’, all of our actions in spirituality have to begin from failure. Maybe it seems to us in the beginning that we were successful but is that we are not discovering our true success and when we do discover we discover the mistake, the lack of success, unsuccessfulness, that leads us to a prayer, to an outcry and all kinds of things in the work that are truly opposite of the Creator, why isn't working, through all kinds of stages we eventually reach a prayer. Then we try to be wiser and we understand that we can only succeed to the extent that I can perceive the Creator like a smaller one who grabs the older one by the hand, bringing him to a state that the bigger one will do something, telling him that this is what I want and that the older one, the bigger one will do it for him.

S. Of course there is a lot of work before us. I want to understand what is the next stages, what is this inversion that has to happen after we start praying for others?

R. Me? I'm not preparing for you anything except for the excerpts that we read to learn together, to awaken the light that reforms, I don't prepare anything for you. All of the work is yours, all the questions are yours. You will get the answers eventually from the Creator as I am only just a small assistant. That is way I'm not preparing anything for you except for the excerpts I prepare, that is true. According to the sequence that I see, which logically should come, one after the other until we start going into TES. We will only go into TES for maybe just half an hour and then an hour and later maybe even more. There are other materials besides TES that talk about more internal work. But I myself do nothing, so again what is your question?

S. It is just unexpected that we stopped asking for ourselves and everything is towards the 10 and the connection, what is that inversion that is coming from you, maybe something stronger?

R. No, it won't happen, you are the ones who are going to have to feel that the prayer for the friends and for the 10 is the real prayer and the real request that the Creator is expecting that and He answers that. All of the personal things that are less of the 10 when someone asks for themselves, one will get nothing, best case scenario he will get disappointment that will eventually lead him back to the work in the 10 again, that is how we learn.

44. S. (01:54:42) How can we awaken the connection in the group constantly? Is this through actions or prayer what comes first? What is more important?

R. The right work in the 10 is when I locate that my whole spiritual future is in the 10, depends on the 10, according to the intensity of the connection between the friends that is how we can demand help from above from the Creator, until He connects between us truly and later in the connection He has done, it will be revealed. Meaning to scrutinized that I must have the connection, I must have the vessel and when this vessel is made of 10 egoist, that each one has to annul himself to a certain extent to let go of himself and to that extent he can incorporate in others without a concession that he makes over himself he can't integrate with others, because he doesn't have the vessel, an empty vessel, he has to clear a way the vessel from his ego, to move out of himself, to clear some empty space for others and to that extent when others enter his desire, we call this qualifying the place (vessel), wherever he cleared from himself and the friends entered. That place where the friends are, that is where the Creator is revealed. To the extent that the friends entered in him, to that extent the Creator is revealed. Ask, call that He will qualify this place by the light of Hassadim, by being ready to accept guests, that is how we call it and that is how it works.

45. S. (01:57:40) As much as we discover the term prayer in the group, we build a prayer. So we see more, that one of the friends expresses himself more like being a part of a cult, that it's something fanatical.

R. We should try to explain to him that the law of love, what the Torah requires of us, is the general law of the entire reality and there are no sects here, there is no restricted organization, this is the general law of the entire reality. Without this general law of the entire reality would disintegrate into small pieces, into crumbs. Only by mutual incorporation of all the parts of reality our whole world and all of the upper worlds exist. This is why these are not called sects, the Judaism, the wisdom of Kabbalah is built over the general law of nature, the mutual law of connection, it is not that someone invented it or made it up. It comes from nature itself and if a person doesn't agree with that first of all he doesn't agree because it goes against his ego and that is clear to us. Come out of your ego and look at this whole creation objectively and you will see that you are incorrect. What all in all are the conditions of the wisdom of Kabbalah? It explains to us the general law of reality, love meaning connection between all of the different pieces when it cannot be in any other way, that every part takes care of other parts this is why, ‘love your friend as yourself’, is the rule. This is how we have to advance as I haven't seen things that truly relate to true love, being said about it that it is a sect. Love of others cannot be a sect because sect is a closed thing and love of others is open for everyone that's why we have to explain that, we will talk about it. We will take it as a subject to study. Now I will leave you, keep on going with the lesson on your own with whatever you decide, I thank you for being in the lesson and let's hope that tomorrow I will join you in the lesson from my regular place. Until tomorrow all the best and good luck with the Creator's help.
