1. Rav’s Introduction: You know that in our course we learn the process a person who wants to rise from the degree of this world who understands and feels only what is happening to him through his five corporeal senses, called the beastly senses, which is the body remains as a beast, the degree of the animal. .When a person wants to rise above this, to understand what he lives for, what is the benefit, what is the purpose, what surrounds him? Where he just doesn't think about the regular things but that he wants to rise above these corporeal desires. So he thinks accordingly to develop in himself certain instruments and vessels which are called spiritual, from a higher degree than that of an animal or a beast. Therefore, these people who are ready for this according to the root of their soul meaning if you look at the general system called Adam HaRishon where there are certain parts in the system in the degree of a certain coarseness that they want to return to their corrected place in this system, which is to develop their desires, correct their desires and connect to the Creator in this way, to reveal the Creator. That He would be revealed in each and every one of them. With such people according to their nature their original conditions after the shattering of Adam HaRishon feel that they have a tendency to return to this previous corrected state, which is what we call returning to their route, those people need to go according to their correction, program which is called the Torah or the instruction, the guidance. They begin to feel to start with just like Abraham asked the Creator how shall I know that we shall inherit, meaning how do we come to the inheritance of the land, to the inheritance of the desire which is a spiritual one. How do we come from a corporeal degree to a spiritual degree?

The Creator said I have a gift for you, I will give you this spiritual desire, gradually, which will develop in you and then each of you and all of you together can correct this spiritual desire because I will give it to you in a corporeal egoistic way by increasing your ego which is called the exile of Egypt where you will feel bad in your life but the bad will be some form of illumination from a spiritual degree, that, the bad itself will be like a stimulus with which you will be able to overcome and feel spirituality through it. Meaning the feeling of disconnection from the good life, the spiritual life from the attainment of the upper force, from the attainment of the purpose of life is called exile of Egypt, the exile from spirituality and we actually feel, those of us who yearn to reveal the Creator, the purpose of life why we are alive and for what we are living. Those questions that we started to begin with when it comes to free choice that Baal HaSulam explains in the giving of the Torah (Matan Torah) and the mutual guarantee (The Arvut) articles. It turns out that we are the opposite, that we are in the state of darkness not knowing what is going on, not wanting anything, opposite all of the people around us who are living and enjoying just like Baal HaSulam writes about the king's son who lived throughout his life in the basement, the dungeon where he is given a little feeling of life but it is of corporeal life and then they bring him a little taste they put him back in the basement. This is our life and it is to awaken within us a seeking force, a search for the empty vessels that we will be able to advance through them, to the revelation of truth.

This is how we feel ourselves through the ascents and descents, the searches that each of us is confused and in a process that is very unique and very special. Each of us doesn't know at any given moment what is happening to him, what he is drawn to, what is wanted of him, all of these states are certainly very special states as it is a revelation of spiritual degrees but in the form of concealment. We don't understand what these states are and we don't understand the benefit of having them. We are not in good relations between us and the Creator or with ourselves. All of this is the revelation of the shattering because all of the light and good that can be revealed only through the connection between us and here what is being revealed is the shattered vessel Kli, we find ourselves as the worst of all the people in the world and this is a good state. This is a state as it is written to us in the relations between us as well, just like between the sons of Jacob that were in a great quarrel between them and sold Joseph, meaning the force of connection, Joseph the one that collects them together that they didn't want him. That they dispelled him and this is something that the greater of person is in his soul feels even more how distant he is from everyone, that he rejects everyone, the force of individualism operates in him by distancing him from everyone. This is what is called anyone who is greater than his friend, his inclination is greater than him. What happens next?

After we somewhat feel ourselves in these states and begin to define the states as the Exile from spirituality as all the descents and the arguments, the clashes between us all of this comes to us in order for us to understand that this situation is opposite to holiness, to connection, to in order to bestow, to love. The fact that we are in it is in order for us to discover everything and it's opposite because otherwise one cannot attain any state, even in our world when we achieve or attain something it is always through the difference between two discernments that we achieve it. Discernment between them is what we call attainment. After we feel our life as truly being included within the force of evil, that is not enough but rather this force of bad is foreign and it rules over us. When I start to feel it as Pharaoh, meaning this for in control, this for enforcing, the cruel king that rules over me and I can't do anything about it. That I am trying every day and I am telling myself every day that I am certainly doing all of the efforts to leave him, to exit him, nevertheless I see again and again that I surrender, either forgetting, or put my hands up and give up. It depends upon the coarseness of the problem which is being revealed, the ego.

I see myself in a manner where these states are not leaving, they are not passing as there is no end to them, then as it is written the people of Israel sighed from the work, you see that there's nothing to do here that we are capable of our own to leave our ego, two exits, do you ever understand what it means connection and love and one vessel, one heart. From this inner outcry we get an understanding and a special force which takes us out. The exit from our ego is called the exit from Egypt so although this is prolonged and divided into many stages although it is an exit above our ego. When we rise above our ego, through the upper force where it is clear to us and felt in us that it is not us, but rather that there is an illumination from above which takes out, raises us above the thoughts that are only for oneself into thoughts of the friends, the group this, the world and that threw them all of that to the Creator. When we start to think that way this is called that we already are in the process of the exit from Egypt until we come to a state where we decide that we are disconnecting from our ego and don't want to use it at all. This is called the exit from Egypt, Pesach, Passover where we moved from, passed from thoughts for ourselves to the thoughts and desires for the spiritual vessel, the general vessel through which we can come closer to the Creator to give Him through this a revelation, to bring Him contentment through this. This is called Pesach, Passover where we exit where we exit our individual personalities and enter towards connection. Then we need to instill this connection between us meaning to build out of ourselves a system of connection between us and it is not built immediately and not through one action.

But rather through many actions, many gradual actions which are called the days of the Omer count (bundle of sheaves) where we begin to discover through the upper illumination through us begins to reveal in us the desires we can already connect between us through them, to come to a state in which we will all be connected, as it is written to be as one man and one heart as this is already in the reception of Torah. The rest for the time being from Passover to the receiving of the Torah, to Shavuot, where we count 7 weeks in which 7 x 7, 49 discernments as we count the desires that are being revealed within us, different desires each time greater and bigger. Through them we try between us to connect this is called the Omer correction, it is a collection of reeds, we are collecting from the field, a field that is blessed from the Creator in a way the sheaves that we can collect together that we can usually make bread out of. This is what man can eat and not the sheaves themselves which are basically straw.

2. S. (16:43) How do we arrange our nature with this principle that we find ourselves with this growing coarseness, how can we make our donkeys swallow this in a good way?

R. That is all the work that we are trying to do, I am just trying to go through the plan in short with you, what we have before us. That we through the daily study open before ourselves the path that we need to go through and to understand it theoretically that we can't really implement it yet as it's not something that we can say we are exiting Egypt. But that it would be very clear to us what we need to do in which path we need to pass until the end of correction. This is how we want to spread out our plan with you. So today for the time being we are in a state which is seemingly a place where we are rising above our will to receive called Pharaoh. That we are seemingly no longer dependent upon him as it is like there has been a restriction that took place upon all of the egoistic desires. So, what happens to us now?

Pesach is considered that we have exited Egypt, from the will to receive in order to receive and we have entered something new, what is this new thing? That we don't know, we don't understand as it is already spirituality. Imagine to yourself that something opens before us but that we are not yet familiar with it whatsoever, how can we discover where we are? A time frame comes which is called the Omer count, where we count the desires which are revealed in us in the connections between us with the group which we make, Omer in English is sheaves, a collection of many of the sheaves, the stalks of wheat when we collect all of these desires that are revealed in us and their correction is that we collect them, that we bundle them together. After we come to gather them, to collect them together then the group comes to a state in which it is as one as they are all connected as one. Then this structure is ready to receive the upper light. It is considered that we have reached the Giving of the Torah, Matan Torah, the next station which is called Shavuot. That we are counting 7 pure weeks that you will have, that we will be connected together and, in this connection, we are ready to receive the upper light according to the connection.

The upper always illuminates, according to our correction we come to the knowledge that we are similar to him and in accordance with the equivalence of the form he is revealed to us, the revelation of the Creator to the created being which is what happens to us in the state which is called the standing of Mount Sinai. This process that we are learning together we are going through together as well, just like what we went through during Passover, during and now after Passover. Meaning the connection between us and the group, to the tens that will strengthen themselves and one another in order to be truly as much as possible as one and through this we will come to such a connection that they will resemble the light and the light will be revealed in us. All together this is the condition of the reception of the Torah, the reception of the upper light.

3. S. (22:20) We want to escape our egoism because we feel bad from it. How do we replace this feeling and wanting to escape the egoism because we want to bring contentment to the Creator?

R. Excellent question because this is all of our work. I'm glad you can say that in a clear short way this is the whole point, the intention, the meaning is to change it not to think of ourselves, not for our own benefit but to think of the Creator and the benefit of the Creator. For the benefit of the Creator, we can think and yearn to carry out the intention only under the condition that we are connected. The Creator is revealed in the connection between us and practice. If you want to bring him contentment you need to reach connection with the friends and then you can have the ability to be revealed in you. His whole pleasure is being revealed in the created beings and to feel that they are enjoying his revelation. It is just like a mother, what does she want for her kids? Just to be healthy, happy no more than that. Same thing with the Creator you cannot bring Him any other contentment unless you give Him the possibility of filling and delighting you. This is the way that you can delight the Creator, from your delight in Him.

4. S. (24:22) Our friend is asking by including in ourselves the importance of the purpose our ego and will to receive is growing, how do we overcome this and make an attack?

R. From day-to-day we are growing our ego as much as we advance towards connection and the Creator. Our ego in each of us and all of us together is more and more growing and being revealed. It grows and is discovered according to the intensity that the upper light can illuminate in it in such a way that we will start to feel him, to feel the upper light. If you have a small vessel the light in it only gives the feeling of life this small animalistic form of life. A bigger desire is greater light and also in an egoistic way it is like that and also in order to bestow. Therefore, certainly day after day we feel ourselves in ascents and descents and each time anyone who is greater than his friend his inclination is greater than him and this is how we grow. This is why there is no way to elude being in descents in being an altruist to be in order to bestow in your essence, anyone who is greater than his friend his inclination is greater.

5. S. (26:28) We come out of ourselves in connection with the friends in the 10. What does it mean, we begin the counting of the Omer?

R. We are not quite in the exit of Egypt like I said and we are not yet truly in the Omer count, but the count is considered that in us, desires are being revealed that each of those desires that we correct becomes a count, meaning of desire that can receive the upper light in order to bestow this is why the upper light fills the desire in accordance with the measure of equivalence in bestowal in between the desire and the light, the light illuminates inside the desire and this is how we need to go 7 x 7 = 49 desires that we have Malchut to Bina. These are seven Sefirot and each of them is included this is why we have 40 Sefirot from Malchut to Bina, when we come to Bina, we discover this light and its totality which fills the attributes all together which is the revelation of the creator, the Creator is called the collective, the inclusive one. The state is called the holiday of the Giving of the Torah, Shavuot because we counted seven weeks. This is along the way our corrections.

S. What are these desires that appear in between Sefira?

R. By correcting the ego in the connection between us we overcome those desires and correct them in order to bestow to one another and between us and the Creator where we begin to compose and make our desires to be connected in such a way that the upper light according to a certain adaptation will be able to settle in.

S. These are desires for spirituality to discover the Creator but for ourselves?

R. No, those are desires not for ourselves they are desires for connection between us in order to give a place for the Creator to be revealed. By this we can bring him contentment in practice and when we connect in our corrected desires the Creator can be revealed. We are connecting the system of Adam HaRishon which is shattered, the same desire that is in us and between us, if we correct the upper light we can illuminate in it and we can reveal him this is called the revelation of the Creator to the created being.

S. Say we discover the general desire for connection in the 10, what does it mean to correct it in order to bestow?

R. When you work as being as one man and one heart to reveal the general force of bestowal called the Creator where you want to reveal the state where each bestows to others and you all hold on to this bestowal in connection which is called the spiritual, upper world. Through this you are discovering your initial spiritual state.

S. What does it mean to rise to the level of Bina?

R. That through this day to come to a mutual level of bestowal and become a vessel of bestowal between you this is called that you have reached the degree Bina then you feel this quality revealed in you which is already a spiritual state.

S. This counting of the Omer, can we define this and divide it into 7 x 7 = 49?

R. After we try to bring every state between us in the 10 to mutual bestowal, we begin to feel there is a method here. That there is a certain continuity that desires are being revealed in us which reject us. States of darkness, states of lack of connection, not a desire to overcome them and so on. These are states in which nothing illuminates this is why they are called states of smallness and then in the states we try to correct specifically from these being revealed in us as these egoistic desires are being revealed. We start and try to correct the states between us until the power of connection will be adapted to the power of the light that needs to be revealed. I'm willing to answer all the questions just to understand that here the first time we are talking about a spiritual action that if we do we will succeed if we don't it will be done with time. This is truly what stands before us where we will rise above our ego and connect between ourselves.

6. S. (33:38) In exile we are in a state where we don't even understand our confusion, how will we know how to work correctly in collecting these sheaves in the 10?

R. It is simply that we discovered that we are in a connection between us but in that connection between us no form of bestowal is being revealed, no spiritual force. Accordingly, any light being revealed by the upper doesn't shine to us so it is a fact, a proof that we have not come to connection and that we need to work on this. The work on connection is what we need to do according to what we learned and in prayer up words to the Creator so that He will correct each of us as much as we need to correct in a personal way and connects between us so that we will all be as one man in one heart. Our corruption is not on Earth it is on us to ask and demand for it to happen, this is the point that we need to make a connection with the Creator in such a way that we turn to Him, ask and demand correction. This is the beginning of the revelation of the Creator to the created beings where the Creator awakens to the creature and says you have to correct us, you need to connect between us, we want you to be revealed between us. This is called my sons have defeated me from the side of the created beings and this is what we need to stand upon.

7. S. (35:57) When you spoke about the sheaf, I thought about an optical fiber and these fibers are the 10, what causes all of the ten to be connected in a way that the light shines in them quickly?

R. This comes from above the force of connection that is not in our hands. We just want to ask and we can only ask for it but the force of connection is not between us we just want to acknowledge the fact that we are not capable of connecting and when we try to connect and we can't. Beyond all of those efforts we turn to the Creator with a request, with a demand for Him to connect between us, this is called he who makes peace in the heavens will make peace between us. This is how, until he does this it is all a change through the force of prayer. We need the prayer to be as much as possible from the heart, meaning to try in the connection between us until we will really want for there to be connection then to the extent of the desire for having connection between us, we turn to the Creator for him to do the connection. Then He connects between us and we begin to reveal what spirituality is, this is revealed in the correction of the shattering of Adam HaRishon and then we feel in the connection between us the spiritual state.

8. S. (38:18) Our first point when we enter the counting of the Omer that we exited Egypt rising above our nature of reception, so during those 49 days, the 49 Sefirot that appear is a clear state from 1 through 49. Is this clear, one by one each desire appears in the new and different way?

R. This process is very precise because we're entering into a spiritual system, and upper system and therefore we can count each and every time, this process which is revealed each and every Sefirah being revealed, this is how we throughout the 49 days discover 49 desires that are different ones which are in 7 Sefirot in ZAT the seven lower attributes of the soul that's the seven included of seven because we're all connected between us into one connection. Therefore, we counted in a clear way, as it is written, that we will bring the text to translate it so you can see how it is written. I correct in the attribute of kingdom until we correct seven and another seven and this is how it is 7 x 7 = 49 connections through those desires where each and every new desire is revealed, through it we connect through all the rest of the Sefirot. Until all 49 are connected together, combine desires into one desire, to the number 50 we call it which is altogether at which point we come to the degree Bina, the general Bina which is called day of the giving of the Torah where we receive the upper lights. This is because we made the vessel in order to bestow that we receive in Italy that can be revealed, this is called the Torah, the light that can be revealed.

S. Every additional desire that appears, 7 and another 7 and another, we understand clearly that it is a certain desire and not another one?

R. I think we need to bring them from the prayer of the Siddur, where it is written about each and every desire that we have a special day, meaning with every 24 hour days as we call it, morning day and evening for each and every desire that is being revealed that you have to work with it in darkness and in light. Also in discovering this and action from the beginning to the end. We need to reach this in practice. We can bring the prayer order we're not supposed to read. It was supposed to implement it, and realize that where you're correct a certain new desire that is revealed until it shines in the upper light till we reach every Sefirot, like a sapphire that illuminates. This is how we compose and put together the Partzuf of the soul where we start to reveal the relationships between us and the Creator, how to reveal Him fully. Then the whole of her life that is revealed in this soul, in our connection this way until the end of correction, this is the actual process that we need to go through. You will find there something that is suitable to read.

9. R. (43:54) It's time that the upper light is revealed that we need to enter into our vessel. We need to correct a vessel and then what do we do?

S. I will read one sentence, the translators follow my words, every day that we count we say thanks to the counting of Omer which I made today, the flaw that I made in this specific Sefirot may it be corrected and that I shall be sanctified with the holiness from above and by this that great abundance will be bestowed upon all of the worlds.

R. Meaning day after day, the desire that is released in each and every one needs to be corrected and all of the rest of the desires, the friends and all together we then reveal the special lights, the individual private light, that this is how we collect these corrections, the lights until we come to the special light called the giving of the Torah.

10. S. (45:20) In our 10s is the work of counting Omer practical for us now?

R. No, we have yet to exit Egypt. We just need to learn the process this year that we need to go through from the beginning to the end of correction. That we are learning as much as each of us can implement and realize that we will see. I can't say it all depends upon all of us. As much as each of us and all of us together can connect between us and bring the vessel to correction and this is how it will define that we are truly advancing otherwise this whole study is truly theoretical as we are not rising above our egos in order to begin to correct the Omer. Meaning to correct our desires in order to bestow, we are not performing a restriction upon them, the exit of Egypt is a certain restriction upon the wheel to receive in order to receive and the beginning of the work in order to bestow.

S. What should we focus on beyond intellectually understanding the topic?

R. Those states that we have yet to go through we need to be in such a connection that each of us wants to rise above one's individually go into a connection between us. When we come to those states in practice in the connection between us then we will be able to start counting the extent in which we are collecting our desires for connection which is called the Omer account. Until they are bundled together in a connection in order to bestow. The mutual bestowal between us at which point we are ready to receive the Torah. You cannot receive the Torah alone but only when a person is connected with others to an extent which is called the 49 days of the Omer count. That way add up seven times seven of our desires not knowing exactly which those are, it is still in a state which we are correcting them but then the result of this correction needs to be that we receive the Torah, on the 50th day it is called, Matan Torah, the giving of the Torah. Then we understand and feel more of what we have come to through the process is the same process nothing has changed as we were just talking today about the friends that we need to in practice come to a state that each and every desire that is revealed in each of us wants to rise above this desire and to bestow to his friends and this is how when everyone connects between them in mutual bestowal they come to a state where they reveal the illumination from above that is revealed through our connection between us. There is nothing new here just in a more clear way.

11. S. (49:20) Sometimes a person can experience a rebellious reaction to warrant experience of the ego, what does it say about a person where he is in his state of correction because sometimes it appears that this rebellious force is more in the belly and the resistant force is more in the heart so if there is rebellion how does it relate to words the revelation of the vessel?

R. We need to understand that all of these states also beginners and more advanced students go through this each in his certain intensity of it, there are more descents and ascents but eventually it is belonging to everyone this is why there is no one wiser than one with experience just continue with what you understand and feel and can do. Then there is no one wiser than the one with experience because when you go through that state you can somewhat say something about it, but to learn it in advance about those states that is impossible, not something that you can do to simply be as much as possible in the preparation of the environment and this way you very quickly find the connection with it, you establish and stabilize yourself to understand that situation.

12. S. (51:20) This whole process is done by the light so what remains for us is actually through the study, persistence to understand and to work and go through this process out of awareness in patience?

R. This is correct and we spoke about this that most important is patience but that we have to assist what we are going through, we have to help that to happen. This is where to help means how much we can support each other to give an example to each other and by that we hastened the times. Israel meaning one who yearns toward the Creator, Yashar- Kel, straight to the Creator, is one who hastens, speeds up his development and doesn't just flow in the general currents of the world. But how does one discover himself as yearning for the Creator, by making efforts and life to achieve that, to reach this direction to reach the corrected states where he is connected to the Creator. This is why we study, it is not going to help us to sit and wait. We have to do actions and the Kabbalists explain to us, what are the actions we can do in order to speed up our development. This is what is up to us and that is the whole purpose of the wisdom of Kabbalah. That it enables us to speed up our development, then what others go through in many life skills over a lot of time we can do this very quickly.

13. S. (53:34) What is exactly the meaning of the sheaves?

R. It doesn't matter, Omer just means that we collect the stalks of wheat from the field and then we can collect them into the sheaves to get bread from it. It represents the action where we take the food of an animal and turn it into the food of a human. This is the issue that from the will to receive with His fulfillment we can shift to the will to bestow with its fulfillment. This is the symbol of the gathering of these stalks of wheat and this is what has been done everywhere in the world for a long time. We have to understand what is the difference between the level of an animal and the level of the human, the animal exists for itself, it doesn't have any concern for others so it only connects to others in a simple direct egoistic way. What is the food of the human? The one who connects himself to others and finds food, not nourishment by just getting something from others but what that he can get from the connection, the actual connection to others. This is a different essence with regards to the animal degree. One who works on the egoistic level is called a beast one who works on the altruistic level, the spiritual level that is in order to bestow for the benefit of others, for the benefit of the Creator is called a human, Adam from the word Domeh in is similar to the Creator.

14. S. (56:20) How is the work process in the Omer account different from all other times, every day every morning less than all together at any given time we're collecting the desires in the field, we are assembling the desires from the field that bless the Creator. How is the Omer count any different? Also on Tu Bishvat, we work in the field. What is the difference in the work process specifically now?

R. Our whole work is the work of the field whether it is the field with animals and beast who eat whatever is in place or it is the field that has been blessed by the Creator where we collect what is on the animate level, what is in the field but that it is not for no reason that it is a field that has been blessed by the Creator. By collecting the stalks of wheat and processing it we turn it into the food of a human, meaning we make ourselves Adam, similar to the Creator and then we bless for the bread not like eating the stocks. So that is the difference. Our work today, our study today more accurately is to better understand what is the process that we still need to go through, we need to go through it. We are not there yet, I stress that. Of course, we would like to go through the states as we learn about them, but we still can't. However, if we connect correctly between us and this is the correction of the counting of the Omer that after we come out of Egypt, come out of the exile, rise above our ego and begin to connect between us then we gather ourselves to a state where we can receive the upper light called Torah. After the 49 corrections, seven times seven. In the seven lower active Partzuf that way and then we already discovered the Creator even though it's already not discovered directly as it is said from Mount Sinai. Meaning that went below we become as one man and one heart, this is the connection between us and the Creator appears at the peak of the mountain.

S. The process of collecting the desires is the same process all the time that way?

R. Yes, only now we're learning about it more practically.

15. S. (59:46) The study process that we're going through in order to collect these desires I understand that it depends a lot on the prayer that we will carry together in the 10 towards the Creator so the question is how do we want to be precise in the prayer for it to open the gates?

R. This is something that you need to clarify in each and every one and you can even discuss it between you but it is impossible to just explain it on my part. The prayer is the work of the heart and this work needs to appear in each and everyone's heart and each and every one's heart needs to be as connected as possible to the right action to reach the purpose of creation through connection between us and so in practice what we need to do is to connect. There is no other way to discover the Creator here in the truthful way and not what we can find in our broken vessels. This is the work ahead of us and the only thing that is given to us.

16. S. (01:01:14) Do you recommend that in the 10, for us to read the prayers of the Omer count to get the special force for the prayer in the 10?

R. I didn't say that, why are you bringing in things I didn't say? I don't want to talk about that we just need to understand what is the process after the exodus from Egypt until the reception of the Torah which is 50 days of the counting of the Omer where we count these desires that appear within us egotistically that is why it is called the days of Katnut, infancy and then we correct them and bring them together this is called the Omer until all of these desires that appear are in order to bestow and as these desires are connected in order to bestow then we can discover the Torah, the light that reforms and the giver of the Torah to some extent, this is already called the reception of the Torah, Shavout, the holiday of the giving of the Torah which is still ahead of us. Until we connect all of these desires together and then above them appears that wants to correct them and fulfill them. Don't try to read these sources that will only confuse you. Just leave your wisdom aside.

17. S. (01:07:05) And a bonus before number one. I was sent a little verse here, from Rabash, from Letter 59. It says like this, I think it’s Baal HaSulam: “By a person connecting himself to the Creator he is rewarded with the revelation of the light of the Creator appearing upon him. It follows that by a person gathering, tying all of the desires and one knot, meaning to one purpose for the Creator then that Omer shines, this is the meaning of the Omer count, the gathering count where the light illuminates in the light of the Creator.”

R. This is about the desires that one connects to the Creator, we are more talking about the connection between us, but very good. We should add this excerpt as well.

Excerpt 1 (01:08:32 - 01:10:50) twice

18. S. (01:10:54) What does it mean that ‘he binds in that tight connection their desires into one place?

R. From the desires, we discover the broken intentions that it is all for oneself benefit. That you want to exploit the whole world for your benefit and not to connect to the friends in a proper way, but only thinking about how you are going to rise and succeed. That all means that you are after the shattering of the soul. Now the question is how much does one feel that the rulership of Pharaoh, as it is called the ego, and how much one wants to rise above and to detach from the ego, run away from the ego, this is called ‘exodus from Egypt’. And after that, how much one starts correcting gradually the desires -- from smaller to greater, bigger desires -- in order to connect with the group. Then to the extent that one can connect his desires to other desires, to the friends, so that they are all connected into a single source, a single intention, action in the connection between them to bring the Creator a result from this connection, this is called the ‘desire to bestow to the Creator’ by each one nullifying himself towards the others in the group, by this each one connects to everyone in order to help everyone in the group. And by that they correct their desires as they each exit themselves towards the friends, and above them a common desire emerges in bestowal.

Of course, they can't do it on their own but based upon these tendencies, gradually the light that reforms influence them, the Creator helps make that happen. He works behind the scenes to awaken their desires and also works to bring them together. They come to such a connection where all of the friends in the group can somewhat form an initial connection between them so as to bring contentment to the Creator. Not in order to receive the revelation of the Creator, that is egoistic, but in order to bring contentment to the Creator through their connection, that is their altruistic desire on their part. According to this inclination to bring contentment to the Creator and the Creator's desire to bring contentment to the created being, there, we start discovering each other, the Creator starts dressing in the created being. This is called ‘the first day of the Omer,’ ‘the second day of the Omer’ and so on until we come to the complete degree of Bina, meaning each friend rises above himself to a level of bestowal towards all of the friends opposite him in the same kli. This means that they have reached this level of bestowal between them and this is called ‘the level of Bina.’ When they achieve this level of Bina, the general degree of bestowal, they are worthy of starting to work with the upper light, itself called the ‘revelation of the Torah,’ or the giving of the Torah and then they work in receiving in order to bestow. This is after Shavuot holiday, the giving of the Torah.

S. What does it mean that we finish one day in the attribute?

R. The desire in the person that he can relate to connection with the friends, this already is the first correction, so 49 corrections have to happen according to the structure of the soul, 7 X 7, ZAT of the Partzuf, HGTNHYM, 7 Sefirot, each consists of everyone else so it is 7 x 7. The counting means that we count our corrections until we come to the level of Katnut, infancy, Bina.

S. It turns out that only in this moment, everything that's being revealed we can correct. This is called ‘one day?’

R. The revelation of the light in the Kli that is corrected for now, this is called, ‘a day.’ The preparation for the revelation is called, ‘night.’

S. The 49 days are not necessarily connected to physical days. Can we do this all in one day?

R. Completely unrelated, completely disconnected. What happens in our astronomical days and nights in this world have nothing to do with what happens in spirituality.

S. The new states that arrived, do they come with an addition of coarseness? Is this what enabling us to connect?

R. Every degree is coarser, meaning 1st, 2nd, 3rd day. We're talking about additions of Aviut, coarseness, in the person. Accordingly the greater revelation of light.

S. How to hold on each time to that goal that we are advancing toward Bina so it doesn't throw us from the process but only grow each time?

R. It is that we are in the inclination to connect between us, this means that we are correcting our kli each time. There is no other correction. From here to the end of correction everything is the correction of the shattering.

19. S. (01:18:17) It is written in the text that ‘a person is mute and doesn't open his mouth with complaints to the Creator.’ What does it mean that he becomes mute, why is it considered getting rid of complaints?

R. It's not that the person has no complaints to the Creator. He has big complaints and one who is greater than his friend his inclination is greater than himself, in terms of the egoistic desire that appears to him. He has greater demands, a greater claim to the Creator each time. But, as it is said, ‘one who can keep quiet during the fight,’ meaning one who can stop himself and not want to continue these thoughts, restrict them, rise and work above the Tzimtzum, the restriction. Even though he has complaints, doesn't understand, he doesn't feel, he doesn't want to connect with the others. He has enough against that and knows all of those things come to him from his evil inclination and he now needs to make a correction over it each time a greater desire appears, he needs to make corrections. And he is no longer in Egypt but he is in the exodus from Egypt. After the exodus where he can demand corrections with the friends and this is why they pray, ask the upper light that ‘He who makes peace above to make peace between us’ meaning to bring wholeness, connection between us. This is what we asked and the Creator does it. Now the work is up to the Creator to do, the request for it to be done is up to us, as we discuss a lot, everything is achieved by prayer. On our part, prayer; on His part, the execution, so to speak.

20. (1:20:46) S. Prayer comes from the heart, from the desire, so it turns out I have a desire that the Creator put against Him and on the other hand, the point in the heart that wants connection with the friends. It doesn't agree with the Creator which is distancing me from the 10 so the prayer comes from the point in the heart from the 10?

R. A person who advances in spirituality has two forces: one is the egoistic forces that the Creator awakens. And by that, a person is sometimes baffled, sometimes he is against spirituality, against connection that he has complaints to the Creator and so on. Another force that the Creator awakens as well from what we call the point in the heart, from the source or the place of this person in the kli of Adam HaRishon. A person has to start seeing how does he work with these forces, one force that attracts him to the Creator and another force that pushes him out of the connection.

We need to unite these two forces into a single goal, otherwise we will be immersed either in our will to receive and just forget about the goal, which happens, potentially for a long time, for many days even. What we need to do is increase the importance of the connection at all times. Not the goal, the goal is far. I still can't see that I'm already connected to it, but the action is right in front of us, especially with these actions of the counting of the Omer, corrections of the Katnut, the raising of the Malchut to Bina through the 49 Sefirot. So here we need to know exactly what we do. We each time increase the necessity for connection. Only in our connection are we going to discover the Torah, then discover the light in the corrected vessels. Without the corrected vessels, we can't discover any lights. The difference between human and animal is in the animals there is no connection between the desires, and in the human, yes, there are connected desires at least somewhat, a little bit connected desires between friends.

S. To be precise, for the friends who are in this state of complaints, on one hand, one the other hand, a friend wants to enter the 10 so what should he do? Focus more on the 10 to exit those complaints?

R. We will always have complaints to the Creator and we will always have to rise above them until we come to prayer, to the request of subjugating ourselves to the group and making the corrections. Once again we fall to an even greater will to receive where it seems when we were in that already but it was a smaller broken desire and now it is a greater broken desire. The work seems to start anew, but we mustn't fall into despair from that. This happens until a person collects these desires into a complete measure called Omer. From that moment on, we begin to be in contact with the Creator in mutual connection with Him, but not before that. When we receive the light that is called ‘the revelation of the Torah to the person’ -- the person remains we who are connected in the 10 -- so then what appears in us is already the revelation of the Creator, the revelation of the Torah. Then we continue and what follows is according to the same rules but a different kind, different degrees.

21. S. (01:26:09) In this excerpt Rabash says that a person is called Omer when he has one goal to bring the contentment to his Creator and prior to that he writes that this is possible only when we bind the Omer, feel the sheaves and feel that everything was done in good. To hold on to this goal of bringing contentment to the Creator without the goal is a meaningless connection, there always needs to be double work -- holding on to the connection and holding on to the Creator?

R. The goal is to bring contentment to the Creator, the means is to connect between us in order to reach that goal. The goal happens by connecting between us and the Creator fulfilling us and we received this in order to bestow. By that we have equivalence with Him, connection with Him and this is how we basically bring Him contentment, in receiving all of His goodness.

22. S. (01:27:39) If a friend has a difficulty in converting his egoistic desire into altruistic, how can the group help him?

R. The group should set an example, as we have learned many times. I truly don't understand the question. We have discussed that one shall help his friends, how each one should support the others and how we're all dependent upon each other. The group has to feel that the people in it are somewhat stubborn, sometimes weakened and that they have to help each other because this is a common, collective kli. If there are people who don't want to connect or can't achieve connection then the group needs to support them. Then we will feel how each one depends upon the others. The Creator doesn't want each one to be a successful, ‘hot-shot,’ He wants all of us to succeed together by each one nullifying himself and helping the others. This is the correct connection in the 10. This is why there's no such thing as some who are successful and others who are not. Everyone has to feel that it belongs to everyone. If there are people in the 10 who can't be connected then the whole group can't be connected. Don't relate this to one person or another person but to the whole group. Why can't the group influence them, help them, support them, attract them? It is said that the group has to throw a rope or a life buoy to the friends. Meaning the calculation that the Creator does with each of us is through the 10. He doesn't relate to a person individually but to where he is in the 10 and how much he helps the others. This is what measures his greatness and his spirituality, only that. If we are in the 10 and each one is thinking about how do I try this, to succeed, then each one has to see how does he help the others and how does he reside in the others while nullifying himself completely and that’s how you measure your success. Here we run into the actual source and foundation of the spiritual work, these are two opposite worlds, corporeality and spirituality.

23. S. (01:31:25) Can we say that my connection with the Creator, the way I'm describing it, I can exchange it?

R. Correct. If I succeed in finding connection with the friends it is certain that by this without an addition of work and labor that I find connection with the Creator. This is why it is written from ‘the love of people to the love of the Creator.’ The Creator is inclusive and the friends are the ones with whom I can work individually.

24. S. (01:32:26) To ask practically, when he says ‘that by this a person not opening his mouth with slander towards the Creator.’ So to ask practically, in our group we have people in a very bad state. Should they have to give gratitude to the Creator that now they’re getting blows to advance? What to do, how should one think?

R. This, too, is a state the Creator gives on the way to learn from every situation what he should be like.

S. How do you have to behave, say if someone is in real trouble? What should we do towards one another in such a state?

R. Help, support as much as possible

S. How do you support such a thing, how do you help him?

R. I don't know. There are many such states, to really help. The main support is in raising the spirits, as Rabash writes. Because in terms of high spirits there are no limitations and you can always do that.

S. Helping each other is called Gathering the Omer?

R. It's not there yet but it's on the way. The main thing is to raise the spirits, the confidence, upliftment, high spirits. It’s what you can give to each other as a society controls each one.

S. The Kabbalists wrote the prayer of the Omer after Passover. What do they mean by writing all this and that we should read it?

R. Reading I don't know, I know by doing.

S. Yes, doing it.

R. Some read me the instructions but are they executing? This is the whole point.

S. What does it mean to do this after Passover?

R. Pesach, Passover means that we come out from the control of the ego, Pharaoh, and then we have to start correcting ourselves, the broken vessels. Although we came out of Pharaoh's control, we still don't know how to work with him and this is why we come to the correction of the broken vessels. When Pharaoh is gone already but the Creator is also not in them yet, the force of bestowal is not in them. We have to try to get closer to each other to draw the reforming like from above and by that to connect, and by this we assemble ourselves, gather ourselves together. We become a gathering of our 49 qualities then we can begin on the 50th date, that day, to receive Katnut, smallness or infancy, complete Katnut, after which we can begin to be in Gadlut, in greatness, in reception of a light after 49 days. But the days of the Omer count are days of smallness where we receive only small lights in the vessels that, for the moment we correct them, and in each and every correction, we receive more light of correction, lights of filling. This is called the ‘days of Katnut, smallness or infancy.

S. This is called, in the 10, that we're doing good towards each other?

R. We should believe that all of those troubles are from the upper force who wants to get closer to us in feeling the trouble and not the other way around, depends on our vessel whether it is ready for the revelation of the light or it is opposite from the revelation of the light then of course, our work is to as quickly as possible connect among us in the right way that the light will be revealed in us correctly. Then we will feel within ourselves complete and good and well as the light wanted.

25. S. (01:37:42) What is the first day of the Omer?

R. We don't know what it is yet. It is just we want to rise above our ego and the same desires that appear in us at the moment and connection between us. Then to that extent that we can connect among us, we have to see if we are making progress in building the vessel. Accordingly, we will begin to feel phenomena, they might be worse than before, but they will still promote us to understanding our way to connection between us. Right now, we can't count the first day, second day, third day. A person experiences many desires. He doesn't feel that he is in his will to receive governed by Pharaoh or in the will to bestow. Even when he somehow rises above his will to receive, he still doesn't feel this, He is still in the will to receive but the disposition to connection between us, this in general is already the beginning of the corrections. Try during the day and through all of the states to be connected together in the10's as much as possible. If you see someone failing, weakening, help him out, even without talking. Pray for the friend and likewise each one for the others. Such prayers the Creator accepts. A prayer from a person for himself, the Creator doesn't accept because it's egoistic. The Creator has no interest in anything except to correct man. But correcting man is in His good relation, in relation of bestowal from person to person. This is called ‘correction.’

26. S. (01:40:33) Is the exercise of keeping a diary in the 10, is this the Omer?

R. It has nothing to do with it. That is your personal work that you are writing there. We are saying Omer count is. The Omer count is when you feel the desires awakening in you and how much by that you can bring yourself to connect in the society. This is called ‘writing a diary,’ that every thought or desire that appears in you, how can I use it for connection in the group, nothing else. Everything has to be sharp and to the point. Until we really discover, in the connection between us, various feelings in sensations that are clear, stronger, for or against, it doesn't matter, as long as we feel more of the power of connection or separation and according to this, we will be able to understand that we are advancing.

Excerpt 2 (01:42:32 - 01:43:33)

27. R. By a person connecting himself to the Creator he is rewarded with the revelation of the light from the Creator, the upper light. It turns out that by a person becoming Omer, a sheaf, connecting all of the desires in one bundle -- as we do in the field where we gather the crops -- by that he connects himself to one goal for the sake of the Creator. Then this Omer, upper light, shines and this is the meaning of the Omer count, when a person shines with the light of the Creator to the extent that he connects himself to the 10, to the group, and in this connection specifically in this connection the Creator, the upper light, is revealed.

Excerpt 3 (01:44:40 - 01:46:30)

28. R. Rav reads: We count 49 days to the days of the reception of the Torah from the Exodus from Pharaohs governance the governance of our ego on my way to 49 specific corrections until we come to the day when we receive the upper lights, the Torah. Omar comes from the word barley or measures this means, it comes from measuring the greatness of the Creator, to the extent that the Creator is great in our eyes, to that extent we advanced in emerging from the control of our ego to the point of being controlled by the Creator. To the extent that one assumes, measures the greatness of the Creator to that extent the upper light is on him. This is called Faith, Bina, the power of bestowal. When a person is rewarded with faith in the Creator, the power of Bestowal, the power of Bina then he is regarded as a beast. This is why the Omer, which is barley, animal food means he has not yet been rewarded with the view of Torah but on Shavuot meaning on the 50th day after the exodus from Egypt when he has corrected, all of the vessels with the light of mercy he is rewarded with the reception of the Torah. Then one receives the view of Torah, the light of wisdom and therefore we offer the offering of wheat which is food for man who is regarded as speaking. This is the different vessel that he has. Before one is rewarded with the Torah which is regarded as speaking it is regarded as an offering of barley which is animal food. At that time, it is called Gathering sheaves which is regarded as being mute which is only animate and not speaking. Only by the Torah are they rewarded with being speaking in other words emerging from the Exodus. This is done by the upper light, the great light that shines upon us. It is not something that we draw, it is just how it is revealed according to the degree. Afterwards, we come to a state of smallness infancy, this is the Omer count where each time we reveal between us the lack of connection, the lack of the light of Mercy, the lack of bestowal, simple bestowal between us for greater connection to rise more and more above the ego. The degree of Bina means we rise from the degree of Malchut to the degree Bina and on that level where we rise to the degree of Bina, we are on the level of the Bina where we continue in correction to receive in order to bestow. This is how we work on the smallness of the vessel and on the greatness of the bestowal.

29. S. (01:50:37) What is the difference between the desires of Egypt and the desires we discover in the Omer?

R. The desire is to receive both here and there, there are no other desires, everything else is desires to receive. All of spirituality is to correct these desires to receive so that they work in order to bestow, but in Egypt great desires appear, all the desires to receive are revealed in, a time called Egypt even though a person doesn't feel it but he should still see that he is in the will to receive and can't do anything besides that until he cries out, help! I can't be in these desires to receive and then the Creator pulls him out of Egypt. Let's hope that we will finally feel we can no longer be in the desires to receive, that we have to rise above them. That our ego doesn't control us and that we want to be free. Maybe I don't want to bestow upon the Creator and good to everyone, to love everyone, this is something that's still far from me is I don't want to think about it, but I don't want my ego to control me, I don't want to be under the governance of this foul-smelling nature is the main thing. If I decide that I don't want it, this is regarded as being able to emerge from the control of this ego to come out of Egypt and then once I am out of it, gradually small desires appear in me and greater and greater desires of which I can create connection. In Egypt we can't create a connection between us. We only understand that we have no choice but to come to resemble the Creator to resemble the Creator we have to come out of ourselves and into the desire to bestow but we can't. That decision to disconnect from the ego, from the will to receive completely and forever in every possible way, is the decision to come out of Egypt, to escape from Egypt. Afterwards there is already a correction, how to receive small egoistic desires gradually which the upper light allots to us to each of us, these desires. By correcting these desires, by constantly thinking about the connection between us, we correct them practically and this is why we are in 10s and we connect in the tens, after the Exodus from Egypt more and more tightly and in this way we move away from the egoistic usage of them and move from not wanting to use the desires that are revealed to us egotistically and by this we build the days of the Omer, the days of smallness when we only have the intention to bestow.

Where I don't want anything other than to be above my ego and to somehow do everything for the sake of the friends. When we come to the end of this work this is called the 50th day. After 49 Sefirot that we have to transcend, we don't know exactly but we begin to see these things. We even bless for the desire that is revealed that we can correct in order to bestow among us, so the desire that separates us is revealed and we correct it into connection between us. After 49 such states we come to a state where all of the desires that are revealed in us, that separate us, we correct them to connect between us. Then we come to a state where our vessel is connected. That day is called the giving of the Torah when we start receiving lights to work with them in reception in order to bestow. We will talk about it later. In the meantime, we have to see that our whole vessel is built only on the revelation of the forces of separation which we want to turn into forces of connection.

30. S. (01:56:51) The state of smallness, is 49 days for the receiving of the Torah?

R. Don't try to be too smart, you can have a thousand questions, just learn the order of correction, now we're not in the 40 Years of the desert, now we are in the transition between the exodus from Egypt to arriving at the reception of the Torah, Mount Sinai. The rest of your questions, drop them. If you don't know what are the corrections there, then how can you ask from there to here? You learn gradually to the point if you want to understand as we said, we have to turn all of the forces of separation that are revealed between us into forces of connection. If we come to that, then we will be standing at the foot of Mount Sinai as it is written, “As one man with one heart” in the connection of the heart. But in the first connection of the heart, we can begin to receive the reforming light called Torah and begin to continue. In our connection we will be able to reveal the Creator in the connection between us. We will feel our states not in the connection from this world but in connection to spiritual upper forces. Ask about what we're learning now, not anything else, you don't know anything else, otherwise you'll confuse what you don't know more with what you do know less.

31. S. (01:59:25) In the process of connection is it only proceeded from rejection?

R. Yes. That is a question to the point, correction can only happen through the recognition of evil and rejection is the clearest way of recognition of evil, of rejection.

32. S. (02:00:03) Why is smallness in faith above reason called beast and considered lowly?

R. It is still not the degree of man, you have degrees in our world where we say they're all like beasts, that’s different. The spiritual degree of a beast is when a person uses his will to receive only in order to maintain himself, to sustain himself and he doesn't want anything else for himself but it doesn't have the strength to bestow above that state this is the degree of a spiritual beast. Afterwards he rises from it and to the degree of man, someone who is similar to The Creator who bestows from himself to others like the Creator does it.

33. S. (02:01:14) Can you give an example of what kind of desire to receive is revealed?

R. We are speaking about something disrupting you about being connected with the friends in a way your heart is open and you are thinking only about that, you are worried only about that and the friend’s success and for you it is everything if you have such desires, it is regarded as having an open heart to others.

34. S. (02:02:02) From the lights of Passover to the receiving of the Torah are there more lights or less lights?

R. Of course there are more lights.

S. Every day there is more connection or less connection?

R. According to the connection it is regarded as a new day.

35. S. (02:02:36) How can we experience or go through those 49 days, 49 states correctly in the 10 to be rewarded with receiving the Torah?

R. Only through increasing the connection between us when we ask for corrections on it and when we connect more in practice, we feel a light of bestowal that is present between us and in this way we come to a state where we are all on the level of Binah the level of bestowal, where no one wants anything for himself but only for others this is called Katnut, smallness of Holiness, greatness of Holiness is when I can create giving to others by myself. But here the only correction is in the vessel not in the light this is called smallness.

36. S. (02:04:02) How does a personal state corrected in the Omer count rise to Bina?

R. You raise to a spiritual degree with your friends, but you're not ready for it yet.

S.

R. By the light helping everybody, otherwise you think of your purpose as an egoist.

S. If I don't have the quality of bestowal in Binah how can I become included in it?

R. You can ask the Creator. You will have that force of bestowal and connection, you can pray without having a heart, you don't feel it, you look at them and you see the faces that they are here, but you don't have the sensitivity to them, so pour that prayer out to the Creator, why don't I have the heart to feel my friends in a way that I can help them that I will be included in them and be concerned and I can learn what the form of bestowal is and to reach you.

S. The Creator answers me by giving a chance to do this?

R. Of course, start with this and you will see, you are already speaking about the summary, where is everything that I did and I exerted? First, I give it.

S.

R. Only connection with the friends and for the friends. That is your goal. We are starting to discover the truth here. I am teaching this, the rest is religion and that is not the truth. It is not reality, it is not the wisdom of Kabbalah.

S. What we’re learning now, the Omer count, is this connection?

R. The process is gradual from the beginning to the end of corrections. The process of correcting the shattering of the vessels in the fact that they didn't want to connect and enter Egypt, all of the enslavement under the will to receive in Egypt. Afterwards, this whole process is a gradual process of revealing the disconnection, the shattering and the correction and connection. We need to speak on behalf of the vessel not on behalf of the light, the light is the result. As much as it is far from our ego, from our mind, from our feelings. It is the opposite and this is why it is not a wisdom for everybody, in the end everybody will need it but it is like a pyramid. We are somewhere there, close to the top and the rest, they will advance like the common people. So after revealing the simple things like the pandemic or all kinds of troubles and problems, they will be cleansed from their ego, they will be given an opportunity to be connected because they have no choice.

S. In the 10 we try to connect, how do we connect to the process we are learning now?

R. Prayer, only the request to the Creator to help you, all of you together, your group in each and every state just to turn to him and don't let go of him. If you let go of Him, you'll fall into your ego.

S. We ask Him to admit us into this process we are learning?

R. It is open for you here, no problem to start the process of correction, go for it. We learn about this, start implementing it.

37. S. (02:09:59) If we practically implement the meaning of the Omer the way Rabash explains, we also do the count physically, the way it is done. Should we add to it?

R. No, we don't need to speak about all kinds of nice sentences that are written in all kinds of places, we need to say what we have in our hearts. We are turning to the Creator and the Creator reads our hearts, he doesn't hear your words only what is in your heart. This is why it seems to us that we are asking but how much you are asking your heart is what the Creator feels and according to that he responds. This is why if there is no response is because the heart isn't really asking, all of our work is to change our heart so that it will want to be just a bit more connected to the friends and to bestow more. Not simple.

38. S. (02:11:43) This works sounds very familiar as we are always collecting foreign thoughts and admitting them into holiness. During this Omer time we are learning, is there something about the quality of the thoughts or is there something about the work that is different from previous?

R. You can say that you are right as we have been talking about it for a long time how we can turn the desires that distance us, that reject us from one another by prayer, by the mutual work and the mutual request between us towards the Creator that he will give us the force of connection, that he can connect our desires from rejection into connection, this is our work.

S. So what is new here?

R. What is new? We want to locate those desires specifically that distance us from one another and we want to aim them towards the Creator to connect us and buy that we will see as much as we are going and we can count these desires, meaning that we don't make mistakes on the path but that everything that is revealed is evil, we inverted into a correction into the good. This is how uplifting from our ego we have to see our corrections. I rise above the ego, disconnect from them, I want to be connected to society and I am looking at my desires, intentions, thoughts and connections that we have between us and I see what is corrected and what is corrupted. I take these things that I can correct them and raise them to the Creator and even more, if we do this together this is the work when it connects and we get corrections from above. All of the forces of rejection become forces have connection upon them greater forces of rejection are revealed and we are asking for corrections, we are connecting even more, more forces of rejection are revealed and, in this way, we acquire forces of connection between us to reach degree of Bina and we want mutual bestowal, only that and in this vessel, we want to reach the Creator, we want to give him contentment by this.

39. S. (02:15:37) Are the corrections during the Omer days done usually through the corrections Rabash mentions in the social articles?

R. There is no additional work until the end of correction. What Baal HaSulam wrote has enough for us to reach the end of the path.

S. The desires we collect, the barley, are these the vessels that we borrow from the Egyptians to correct?

R. All of the vessels are from the Egyptians, from our ego, from Pharaoh.

40. S. (02:16:39) What is the difference between connection for the friends for the sake of the friends in connection with the friends for the sake of the creator?

R. Friends for friends is prayer, for the best of all of the public you can maybe see this in a lot of places in the world but prayer for connection, for the Creator to be revealed in there, is a different prayer because it's not prayer that says, let's just be connected between us, but that in the connection we can also come closer to him, from the degree Malchut to Bina and not that we will be between us like good children, we want to reach the degree of the spiritual Bina and bestow contentment to the Creator. And then from Bina to Keter.

S. Through connection with the friends for the sake of the friends I will come to a degree of connection with the friends for the sake of the creator?

R. Truth is at the end of the action, begins with the thought. We have to connect all of these things together because if to begin with, I'm not thinking of how to reach contentment, to give the Creator then I don't see the group as the means also my attitude towards the group will be different, it won't be enough.

Excerpt 4 (02:18:52) Twice

Excerpt 5 (02:22:15)

41. R. (02:23:53) What does it mean to raise Malchut to Bina?

R. The way he works is the Keter but his quality of bestowal is the degree of Bina, the quality of Bina.

S. Are we saying we're not working Malchut but only incorporating with the friends?

R. We can't come Malchut we will always remain the created being, but to correct our will to receive we raise that quality to the degree of Bina meaning we take upon ourselves on our desire a quality that is supposedly the will to bestow, called bestowing in order to bestow receiving in order to bestow but that we are still talking about the will to receive, from that we can never come out.

S. The process we are learning is exactly the process of raising Malchut to Bina?

R. Correct.

42. S. (02:25:22) Concerning the previous excerpt what is hidden between Harut and Herut, carved and freedom?

R. To reach freedom we do it in a way that the term will be on a person's heart and he will feel that if his heart receives the form of freedom bestowing meaning above his ego. What the Creator means, what spirituality is. Bina is called freedom and Malchut is the opposite, it is prison.

43. S. (02:26:29) In the process of Passover we had a big enemy, something you could feel and recognize, here it sounds like subtle corrections?

R. Not correct, if you felt Pharaoh as the evil force so it is very easy for you now to disconnect from him, no more. You are not demanding more than that, to want to disconnect, not even to disconnect but just to want to disconnect. Constantly ask the Creator to turn to him and ask for help to rise above the degree of Malchut to Bina. This Is called that you are correcting the desire that is in you now. Raise that from Malchut to Bina.

S. How is that request different from the Passover request?

R. In Passover we disconnect from Pharaoh in general and then we start discovering our desires in a private matter, different ways like how they hold us in Egypt but that we can look at them from the side of the group that is connecting and overcoming, this is why our attitude towards it won't be from Egypt but from outside of Egypt. We can already turn to the Creator and work in the connection between us and in this way advance.

S. About the work in the 10 I don't feel what mercy is or what judgment is?

R. You don't need to and you don't until these discernments come to you from above.

S. How can we work if we don't feel these degrees?

R. You work with what you have, maybe understanding the force of connection, the force of disconnection, your ego, some kind of relation towards the Creator through the friends in the group, start working with what you have in your hands and this is how you begin.

S. Is this the general work?

R. How do you reach more complex or refined work if you don't start with this?

S. When we write excerpts that talk about specific corrections and on the other hand the request is a general request for connection?

R. Start from there of course, do you think you can jump to the middle of the path?

S. Why did we read about each day being a different request?

R. Every day means a new state, a new light shines and reveals a new ego in you to raise it for connection, correction. After the general exodus, now you have to correct all of these desires that want to hold you in Egypt, supposedly.

44. S. (02:30:07) The excerpt number before we read about the incorporation of the Sefirot, is there a difference between friends incorporation and incorporation with the Creator?

R. When the friends themselves will discover they can't correct themselves as Sefirot then we'll talk about it except for now it is a fancy.

45. S. (02:30:49) In excerpt 5 it talks about Malchut in two ways, as kingship and glory, is this before and after the correction of the desires?

R. Yes.

46. S. (02:31:10) How can I feel if I am walking the correct path?

R. I can feel myself walking the correct path only according to my annulment before the 10.

We started a delicate topic today, people are asking when do we come out of Egypt, when do we reach the Omer count, and reach the receiving of Torah? This is the time we are in now, let us hope we will know how to relate to them correctly. We have to uplift above our ego and it is only if we switch our goals, if it is aimed towards you, now your goal will be aimed towards the 10. By changing this goal we come out of Egypt. Write it down, it is a very simple clear format that has to be. If I exchange me to we, it means I am coming out of the control of my egoistic will to receive and entering freedom from my ego. This is what we are coming to. Let's hope with a few lessons we will feel and advance towards these corrections that are between us and we will discover spirituality.
