We are continuing to study the matter of exile and redemption to make it clearer to us that we are all in those two aspects of our path. First, exile from spirituality is how we understand it not in any other shape, specifically exiled from spirituality. There are long procedural processes here of the still, vegetative, animal, and speaking and then the speaking also goes through stages of still, vegetative and animal, of all of the human level until it recognizes that he is under the control of his will to receive and this will to receive truly controls him and does not let him to be free. Then the human himself defines his state as exile from the state and force of love connection and bestowal, individuals come to that gradually increasingly more until in our time we enter the phase of the last generation whereby there are awakenings from nature, we all have to awaken, all of humanity discovering we are in exile from the will to bestow, from mutual love and this is the horrible rulership that we are under and when we feel that as our state, we will have no problem to discover the exodus from exile that is by demanding, crying with all of our strength that's the upper force which position does in exodus well also give us salvation, this exodus and redemption.

The difference between exodus and redemption is only the letter Aleph which refers to the revelation of the Creator in our life and then we will feel that we come out of the exile of our ego, that stops putting us into a dark corner of reality and we can finally feel that we have emerged from it. At first it is important for us to acknowledge that we are slaves to Pharaoh, slaves to our ego and when we want to do anything with devotion and love, we then recognize that we are not detached from Pharaoh, where actually that us and Pharaoh are the same thing, we are that much dependent on Pharaoh. Only after we suffer blows from associating ourselves with Pharaoh from relating ourselves to Pharaoh, only by that do we begin to recognize that he controls us for his own good and not for our sake. That can be attained only by an illumination from above of the Creator who awakens with us, within us a feeling that there is another kind of governance in the world but there is also a rulership of connection and love, bestowal. Then we begin to be between these two forces that struggle between these two forces begins and we gradually develop ourselves through efforts that we make as we wish to belong to the forces of bestowal, the good force.

The bad force that controls us even though it doesn't seem as bad we begin to identify that it is in order to receive and therefore it is not related to the upper force and so we come to a state where instead of enjoying our ego, the forces of the ego we begin to recognize it as a bad force, as a negative force, to the point that we asked the positive force, the Creator is forced to let us a merge from this control of the evil force and we ask and we demand until He does that. This is how we come out of enslavement to the bad force, the rulership of Pharaoh, the evil inclination. This is how we advance to a point where we acquire positive forces until we come to the state of complete faith that everything depends upon the request, the demand upon learning how we can demand it. The demand can be especially when we connect between us even though we can't really connect but as much as we can we do and when we demand to be together which is the main way to overcome our evil inclination. This is how we gradually emerge from the rule of the evil inclination, the rule of the ego and when we go under the rule of the good force, the force of bestowal and love.

There can’t be a state where it's neither this or that it is either this or that if one falls the other rises and vice versa. If we look at the whole historical process that all of humanity and nature is going through, we can say that we are going through a process in its entirety is referred to as Egypt even from before there was a human being, the will to receive is in control even though there is still no one who identifies it, wanting to replace this control. But all of nature is basically a will to receive as it is said I created an evil inclination and then when it comes from the degree of still, vegetative and animal to the speaking degree then the human begins to discover that he goes through states of still vegetative and animal in his ego. We just cover ourselves as having to gradually come out of the rulership of our ego and then we start the next stage, which is outside of Egypt, it's called the land of Israel there's no more than these two states, it's either Egypt or Israel. We are exactly at the stitching points, the transition point between these two states, these two desires Let's hope we discover it quickly that we no longer stay under the rule of the evil inclination, defining it as evil, define our ego this way and that we come to the good inclination.

This is essentially the process that we have to go through. Historically there are only two states, the land of Egypt or the land of Israel we were in the land of Egypt from the dawn of days until now. Not taking into account the unique individuals who have already emerged and they light our path but in general as a whole we are all in order to receive and in our time in our days we can come to you in order to bestow. That is essentially what we have we should see wherever we are that we are under the rulership of the will to receive, Pharaoh and that we cannot agree with it and we want to escape it control by which we come closer to the exodus from Egypt ultimately all of humanity will have to discover itself in that and recognize the evil, the rulership of the ego that makes our lives bitter for all of us, together and each and every one of us personally. We will come to a state where we all exit the will to receive for itself and let's hope it happens soon in our days.

2. S. (12:49) How is it possible when we're under the control of love?

R. I can't explain that. It has to be felt. Just like right now we don't even feel that we're under the rule of the evil force. Our will to receive which is embedded in every thought. Every cell and action that we have in every inclination we have towards each other there is only a will to receive in various forms, shapes and degrees. We don't feel it as bad as this is our nature. We have nothing to compare it with, to actually call it good or bad. There are people who live in much worse states than ours. Like in some deserted Islands or some countries in Africa, let's say, but they don't feel that their life is bad because they don't compare it with ours or with a different kind of life. They might feel they have a great life with great things in it. But put them in our lifestyle and you will see that they won't be able to go back to where they were. It is the same with us. We don't know what it means to live under the rule of the good inclination, of love and connection of embrace. We have some examples from our lives but it wrong examples even though they still indicate some better states. I don't have the ability to tell you what it means to be under the rule of the good force, of the rule of the Creator, to see the whole world to the other to see how everything is possible that you are like the Creator, you are with the Creator. These are words and you can't do more than that.

S. Can we at least check in the 10 that we are somehow getting closer?

R. See what Rabash writes, try it out and see.

3. S. (15:43) How is it the will to receive comes to correction against its desire?

R. The will to receive is not our nature. The will to receive is what controls us. Our nature is a desire to enjoy. Now what we enjoy, good or bad reception or bestowal, that is already determined by the state that we are in. So, when we are under the rule of Pharaoh, which means under the rule of the will to receive, it necessitates us to enjoy your reception. When we are under the rule of the Creator, the will to bestow, it will necessitate us to enjoy bestowal.

4. S. (16:52) In your opening words you said there are only two states, Egypt or the state of Israel, is this relevant to us?

R. No, everyone is either in a state of Egypt or Israel. Meaning under the rule of the will to receive or the rulership of the will to bestow, one of the two there is just nothing else in nature. So, what we need to do is to only determine what rulership we want to be under. Now, by nature we are first under the rule of the will to receive which is called man's inclination is evil from birth. Then we gradually, consciously move to the rulership of the will to bestow and as we do this, we don't feel so good. Suddenly things feel bad and we don't know how to get along in the world as the world becomes uncertain, confusing, complicated. We are then forced to look for a different kind of life and that keeps pushing us to develop where we want to adapt ourselves to life each time. Why? Because we begin to feel that there is a force that dwells in us, ruling us, changing, how do we bring ourselves closer to states higher for our state is changing. Unconsciously where you want to change so we start developing science, culture, technology to somehow come closer to the other force. Now, we're not aware of this, we don't know this but this is how it happens. Even though we are unconscious of it.

S. You also said in the introduction in order for us to see and feel the real picture we are in we must have great illumination from above. Is that illumination achieved when we yearn for unity or when we raise a prayer for the Creator?

R. When we raise ourselves to a prayer to the upper force, the force of bestowal then we receive an addition of illumination and connection between us and through this way we advance.

5. S. (20:11) From what you said, it seems that we can't yearn all together but rather only to aspire to run out of Egypt.

R. It depends upon what state we are in.

6. S. (20:41) How does the 10 need to work with the bad? Is it right to focus on the bad all the time?

R. Never, ever do we need to focus on the bad. We don't need to turn to the bad or fight the bad or relate ourselves to the evil in any way. We just need to do one thing to be drawn to the good, to connect to the good. To be as much as we can wanting to connect with it.

7. S. (21:42) What is the meaning that the development of man is between the force of good in the force of bad? What ‘man’ are we talking about here, a Kabbalah student or a person in this world?

R. All people of the world. All human beings are in a system and in that system, they go through various states and degrees, levels between the will to receive, the egoistic desire and the will to bestow, the altruistic desire. The force that is anti-Creator and the force that is the Creator. Now, it is all the upper force but it manifests itself in two ways. Either Pharaoh or the Creator. This is where everyone is. It depends upon what level of connection with that force that they have. But everyone is in that, there is nothing more than that. There is only one upper force that plays with us this way in order to advance us into correction. Everyone advances eventually, he advances, develops and awakens everyone to the point that “they shall know me from the greatest to the littlest.”

8. S. (23:34) The state of despair of a descent is this a state which happens with the whole ten together?

R. Yes. Of course, the spiritual states can only happen within the 10. The corporeal states a person feels within himself.

9. S. (24:11) The ego constantly keeps us in the dark corner of reality. How can we stay aware of this?

R. We can't be aware that we are in darkness under the evil rulership if we don't discover against it the good rulership. Until the Creator begins to be revealed, the Pharaoh is not felt as a bad force. It is not felt as an evil force as we also see from the story of Egypt itself. First of all, there is a good Pharaoh, seven years of satiation everything is great. Only when it starts appearing in a deeper way do we start discovering that its rulership is negative, a bad force.

10. S. (25:57) How does a person need to be relative to his 10, his group, when he feels that the world has darkness for him, that he has no strength or ability to overcome?

R. A person needs always and especially in a state like the one you're talking about to incorporate with the group to be included in them like a little one among the great ones. Read again what Rabash writes.

11. S. (26:06) How does it work in the correction of the connections between us that we influence the whole world?

R. We are the central, inner part of the world and we want to come to a connection between us. That puts us in a cord with the general source of connection that runs all of reality putting us in a central inner part of reality.

S. Meaning in every active connection we do we take into account we are towards the general correction?

R. Both the general correction and to bring all of the world to come with us.

12. S. (27:01) How is the burdening of the heart expressed in the 10?

R. The burdening of the heart in the 10 is expressed as the Creator wants to raise us to a higher degree, he has to increase our general will to receive in the 10. Then each and every one accordingly feels a difficulty in doing anything, connecting being closer to others, feeling the group. This is called the ‘burdening of the heart.’ It is all about the connection. All the discernment we are talking about are only with regards to connection.

Excerpt 116 (29:00 - 30:47) twice

13. R. A person needs to self-scrutinize and see how much he is under the rule of his will to receive. How much does he surrender and succumb to it? Not caring, just continuing in this biological life until he dies. Here, he must do just one action, connection in the 10. He has no other way to do anything against this rule of the negative, the evil force on him. There is nothing else to do. Only by connecting more with the 10, and with them, ‘one shall help his friend.’ He builds in the 10 those states, conditions, those steps that he wants to happen within him. He carries them out in the 10 externally. This is one shall help his friend and then they cry together to the Creator for help. That is the whole implementation, realization of the state that we are in, realize where we are, and how we can come out of this state. We have to realize the state that way is in, to see it as slavery and that exiting slavery is only by the inclination to connect between us.

Excerpt 117 (32:40 - 33:34)

14. R. Meaning, the fact that we go through all kinds of states, good states, bad states, states where we can't do anything, this is called enslavement. Where we can't actually connect and study, to do anything with regards to the 10. This literally means to be in Egypt. Then when I have some states where I can think of others, and somewhat be above my ego and connect with others, then it says that ‘you shall remember you were a slave in the land of Egypt.’ Meaning I have to remember those states of being in Egypt, in the will to receive where I couldn't think of anything else and I was just immersed in that. So, in those moments where I come out of the rule of the ego and I remember what it meant to be inside the ego, this is called ‘and you shall remember you were a slave in Egypt.’ And what does this give me? I can now look at these states of being under the evil rule, to look at these states, correct them and bring them to good. Even to the point that I can see that's those evil states come to me directly from the Creator. In order to build the right discernments in me between Pharaoh and the Creator, Egypt and Israel, reception and bestowal, He gives me those two opposite discernments and I have to very well acknowledge and recognize them and try to rise above in order to receive into in order to bestow. Then it means that I have a great benefit from the shattered vessels that appeared to me in Egypt where I couldn't control that and I only saw how much I am ruled by the ego, ruled by my will to receive. Specifically, by that, I can now raise them higher and correct them. This is called exiting Egypt and going into the land of Israel. Land of Israel means land, Eretz means desire, and Yashar El means straight to the Creator. This means ‘you shall remember.’ To take the vessels from the rulership of the ego and raise them above to correction.

Excerpt 118 (36:50 - 38:19)

15. R. We have to tell the difference very well between these states of exile and redemption, how I was under the rule of the ego and couldn't do anything and I just surrendered to it, couldn't move. My mind or in my heart, my ego and laziness would control me and this is how I would live. How could I start seeing that specifically when the light shines on me and I can see myself exiting from the exile?

16. S. (39:08) A question about despair. We know in Egypt we are under the control of our desire and we know that it is bad because we are distant from the Creator within reason. How is it possible in the 10 to come to despair in order to advance towards the exit of Egypt?

R. We don't need to advance towards despair. We don't need to look ahead to a bad state ever, there's no such thing. We just need to aim for, aspire to reaching the final correction. This is the one thing, the one certain thing that we all need to look towards. On the way there we don't know what we have to go through but we go through it and whatever way we have to go through it. I have to be always aimed at the final correction. That the force of bestowal and love will dwell in my reality, in my world. That is what I need to work for.

Excerpt 119 (41:02 - 42:27)

17. R. We used to be little kids and we enjoyed all kinds of little toys. Then we started growing up and as we grew, we started getting pleasures from greater things. And that is how we advance. The same process happens in spirituality where we begin to notice what kind of will to receive and will to bestow are working on us, to what extent and intensity. When we lose more pleasures in our corporeal life, that is actually a good sign. It’s a sign that we are advancing towards spirituality. The fact that all of humanity resists it. Running to psychologists, medical experts looking for antidepressants, or other kinds of self-medication. But really, instead of trying to look for how to treat our despair with medicine, we need to understand why we are seeing that life becomes empty. This is part of the program of the process of creation. Just like how we grow in corporeality from being children who play with little toys to start playing with bigger and greater things. Similarly, in our spiritual development, we have to understand this process to know that if we move towards more meaningful, purposeful fulfillment then we have the ability to advance in life.

18. S. (44:36) What’s the significance that in a descent you cannot speak of it? From the last excerpt we read, it says in a descent there is no one with whom to discuss this state, only in an ascent can a person hear him.

R. Because in a descent a person is like a beast. He loses his livelihood, even his corporeal livelihood. And he becomes like an animal that only takes care of its corporeal bodily existence.

19. S. (45:37) Only after we overcome our ego, can we enter bestowal. We need to come to the exit from Egypt, is it only after we overcome our nature?

R. Of course. What does it mean exiting Egypt? Egypt means the rule of the will to receive over the person. Now, the rulership of the will to bestow is called ‘the land of Israel.’ In the meantime, we are in the land of Egypt. Even to the point that we are not aware of how this will receive in order to receive governs us. We have to discover that. How can we discover that? To the extent that we try to establish between us a desire to bestow, a relationship of bestowal. To that extent we discover that we are not there. We always discover the qualities of reception between us and then I don't know what to do. I'm fighting and I want to do something but I can't until I start crying and asking. Then I begin to identify that something is in my way. There is an evil force that keeps pressuring me and injecting into my mind and heart qualities and thoughts of reception. This is called the children of Israel sighed from the work. From this cry which reaches the upper force, the Creator begins to arrange our forces of bestowal.

20. S. (48:17) The flavor of bestowal comes from above so what is up to us then?

R. What depends upon us is what is to come, the prayer, the request. There is but one force, the upper force that either bestows in us the evil inclination, egotistical or it bestows in us a good inclination of love and bestowal. It all depends upon our request. What depends upon us is how we demand from Him. Convince Him to bestow upon us the force of good in place of the force of bad.

21. S. (49:14) Did Rabash have descents or in the state of being a teacher, you don't feel very descents?

R. Of course he did until the end of correction. Until the very last action including the last action, you have descents and ascents. And the greatest descent is in the greatest ascent towards the end of correction.

22. S. (50:03) How do we rise above the force of the river of fire?

R. I don’t know about the river of fire, I only know the force of good and bad and that I need to get along with both of them. I don't know the force of the river of fire and all of those names I don’t pay attention to them.

23. (50:42) S. What is the state Rabash writes about that a person is in Egypt and he knows, and trusts that the Creator is the only force in reality?

R. That is what a person reveals. We will advance and you will reveal it as well.

Excerpt 120 (51:09 - 51:23)

24. R. First, we need to achieve this, attain this, feel it and understand that this pleasure is what controls us. And until this force controls in a different way, we are called “slaves.”

Reader continues: “When people's pleasure comes from reception ....” (51:41 - 52:04)

25. R. We are constantly drawn towards the pleasures; it only depends on which form of pleasure I am attracted to. Whether it is a pleasure for reception or bestow. On behalf of nature, we are built in such a way that we want pleasure from reception, that’s close to us, it’s understood to and felt in us, the desire for this we have. Whereas this pleasure from bestowal we don't understand what that is. We need to build in us through our request to the Creator for Him to shine upon us the upper light and to create in us a new creation, for us to want to be and live from the pleasures of bestowal. As much as I bestow, I enjoy.

Reader continues: “a person cannot break the pleasure only the Creator can ....” (53:01 - 55:08) Reads 120 again.

26. S. (55:11) We heard a person does not have the power to break the pleasure. Why would a person want to break the pleasure?

R. First of all where's your microphone?

27. S. (55:48) Lately I feel I want to sit and pray for the friends and listen to the lesson, to work, when I get into that state where I want to think about the friends, there's always something that takes me out of that thought of sitting and focusing on asking for the friends.

R. That's fine, it means you're advancing, it means that Pharaoh is bothering you well.

S. But I asked the Creator to take me out of that state, to let me think of the friends and I can't.

R. Why don't you succeed?

S. Every time I'm taken out of the ability to.

R. Why do you think you deserve to get an answer immediately?

S. Because I feel a great desire to ask for the friends.

R. Ask yourself, why you are not being considered? Ask yourself why you are crying, you are requesting and they are turning their back to you as if they're not paying attention to you, you're crying out like a little baby that's crying who even notices he is crying.

S. Who does I ask if the friends are the Creator?

R. Yourself, why you are not receiving an answer, either you don't want to receive it or you don't know what you're asking or you don't deserve or you didn't create the proper conditions in which you can receive the answer.

S. What do you mean by conditions?

R. Meaning if I'm asking for water, I have to come with a cup and not with a basket, yes. If I want to receive something solid, I need to come with a basket. In other words, it needs to be suitable to the feeling that I'm asking for.

28. S. (58:22) He asks what is the difference between being a slave to Pharaoh and a slave to the Creator?

R. A slave is called that he has one desire to attribute himself to someone. This is called a slave that he has no other desires and all of his desires are canceled and only one desire remains to associate himself to someone who said he wants to be his slave and that's it. Pharaoh put such pressure on people that they are all his slaves, we are all under the egoistic will to receive wanting to observe this egoistic desire, Pharaoh is in us, convincing us, bends us so that we will constantly observe our egoistic desire and we are not aware that this is our desire that this is a foreign desire. When we start to understand this is a foreign thought then we are advancing towards the exit from Egypt as we start to feel that Pharaoh is a foreign force against us that it only operates for himself and then we are on the way to the exit. It is very important for a person to depict who is operating in him whether it is Creator or the Pharaoh and who the person wants to operate him, under which upper force does he want to be a slave to and there is no choice for us in being a free land. We cannot be free we can either be slaves to the Pharaoh or slaves of the Creator, to prefer to be the servants of the Creator instead of the servants of the Pharaoh is entirely where our free will is expressed, this is done through the work in the 10. You cannot work from one to the other rather from the control under my ego, individually or to the control under the Creator I do this in the group. Only these things in the group as in the group we have both this and that both I am in the 10 even though I'm an egoist, I can be in the group even though I am all in order to bestow, in the group I am this world and in the group I am in the next world, in the beginning of my path and also at the end of correction at the end of my path, everything I can find in my group in the relations between us, there is no such thing we're another example of such thing in any way.

29. S. (01:02:42) In this work during the day of trying to come out of the will to receive, what is the role of the daily lesson and how to use it more, to treat it more effectively?

R. We must all be in the morning lesson and to prepare for it all the other hours other than the morning lesson because there is nothing more important than those three hours, those three hours I'm also in preparation prior to the lesson and also the lesson itself. If you have other actions after the lesson also it all enters into the morning lesson and then after that I recommend repeating the morning lesson what times throughout the day to read the source materials, the verses, to hear what we spoke about and then again to repeat the sources and in this way, you can somewhat absorb the material and it might start working in you, that is why we need to do so. Morning lessons need to buzz in one's ear and one's heart and mind all day long.

S. In the preparation before the preparation we do every friend needs to bring the deficiencies that he requires during the day to try to come out of the will to receive?

R. It needs to be in each and every one but we don't need to hear it so much but the main thing is for us to prepare our deficiency for advancement, for the next step in the exodus from Egypt a little bit more each time, steps in Egypt somewhere we are on the border of the exit from Egypt and be on there as well. It is not just in one leap that it happens.

S. How do I know I use the lesson correctly?

R. When you forget about yourself and you are incorporated in everything that you hear from your group.

30. S. (01:05:23) How do we know when the Creator breaks the pleasure from in order to receive to in order to bestow?

R. To the preference of being with the friends first of all and then all the rest of the things but first of all, everything needs to move to the connection of the rest is philosophy, it could all be empty words.

S. For that we have the whole wisdom of Kabbalah as the whole system.

31. S. (01:06:11) You said the desire, that the light wants to fill us in every way and it is similar to trying to give our son something he doesn't want so we are waiting for him to understand that we are giving him the right thing. The question is why when we define evil, the light doesn't connect us in the right way, helping us instead of hurting our will to receive more?

R. He is constantly pressuring us and sometimes we feel this in ascents or descents, that is how we exist. You can't enjoy the food if you're not hungry, so you have to be emptied from your previous portion to feel the hunger and the appetite meaning that you don't have a filling and when you depict to yourself what it needs to be this filling to arrange yourself organizing yourself for this and then you come to receiving the filling. Only in such a way but each time you are under the influence of the light only it influences you in waves, also awakening and appetite and fills it.

32. S. (01:08:46) To the extent that we connect with the friends, to that extent we go in and out of Egypt during the day?

R. We don't enter and exit. We constantly reveal we’re in Egypt or not but it's not that we're exiting. The fact that now we are in Egypt, when we are in Egypt or not, each according to their feeling, as much as he agrees with the control of the ego upon himself or not. If I don't agree with the control of the ego upon myself then it's called that I am in exile of Egypt, if I agree that I am in the control of the ego upon myself then I am also in Egypt only in the seven years of satiation, constantly until we come to the will to bestow, we are constantly in Egypt.

33. S. (01:10:04) There are some people who feel they are a master of the world rather than a slave. How can this distortion happen?

R. It is not important in what qualities, corporeal qualities a person is in, the path is the same for all, it is just like in our life that life goes by not mattering in what way that you are in what qualities are things, everyone is born, everyone lives and everyone dies. All of our corporeal qualities, attributes don't really have to do with our corporeal life, with our advancement to the end of correction, it has no influence there. Meaning we need to see how we aim to the connection two there's nothing else besides him, through the center of the connection.

34. S. (01:11:36) In the 10 the friends are participating in everything, the daily lessons and meetings, when we connect there is this feeling that you only feel the friends now what does it mean that you come out of Egypt, to what extent does this feeling need to develop?

R. Exit of the Egypt means we're coming out of the control of in order to bestow, the connection between us and from that moment onwards we can develop the desire to bestow. When we are in Egypt the force of evil, the ego doesn't let us connect and the exit from Egypt is considered that we can develop the force of connection in practice.

S. What is the force of bestowal and connection between us how can we define it to yearn for it in the 10?

R. We can load this by what connection is and what coming closer is.

35. S. (01:13:01) In excerpt 118 Rabash wrote that exile style is felt according to the pain and sorrow into that extent we can feel ... the more, the greater in the happiness from exit in Egypt?

R. Yes but we don't need to work on suffering in Egypt, there's no such commitment, there's a commandment to come fast as possible.

Excerpt 121 (01:13:47 - 01:14:05)

36. R. Jew comes from the word Yehudi the word Yichud, unity, one who yearns for connection; therefore, in Egypt of course there can be no Jew, in Egypt whoever is there is called Egyptian as much as he wants to exit that he already comes close to a Jew, from the word unification as one can already receive from above such forces that give him the possibility of above his egoistic will to receive to begin to connect and then it is called that he comes to be a Jew.

37. S. (01:16:27) How do I lead my friends to make an effort to get out of Egypt so we can get through this phase together and help the people of the world?

R. Only by example, only with an example and that is a very powerful means, envy, lust, and honor, only that are in us, operate in such a way that constantly awakens them.

38. S. (01:17:23) Yesterday during the day we sat and talked about the excerpts and we spoke about Moses being a servant of the Creator, what does it mean to be a servant of the Creator, if a person is willing to give the friends what he can but he doesn't understand what it means to be a slave to the Creator?

R. A servant to the Creator is one who receives the Creator upon himself after many requests, prayers, the quality of bestowal which he can operate and bestow with from himself to others just like in the previous quality he had, he wants to where he only wanted to receive from everyone to himself now, he wants to bestow to others from himself. This is the difference between the servants to Pharaoh and the servants of the Creator.

S. What is it that states that a person feels he wants to serve the friends but he has no idea what it means to serve the Creator?

R. You don't have anything to give to the Creator, he doesn't have a lack, the lack for the Creator is for you to bestow to the friends. There is no more than that all together the Creator is inclusive as much as we bestow to one another coming to connection, a perfect one as much as possible this means we are bestowing to the Creator.

S. So I need to engage, how - do I serve and care for the friends?

R. Yes.

S. The feeling of the Creator will come later?

R. You do for the friends and you will see how by that you come to the Creator.

39. S. (01:19:33) What do we need all of corporeal life and desires for our spiritual work?

R. There is no corporeality, this is what you feel in the egoistic will to receive of yours.

S. So what?

R. To the extent that you grasp then perceive the will to bestow and establish it within you discover that the holy Divinity clothed in the whole world and there is no difference between this world and the spiritual world it all just seems to you.

Excerpt 122 (01:20:33 - 01:23:15) twice

40. R. That's how we need to see our life and our state's as it is always just like in our life here that it has to be hunger, appetite and filling, darkness, a feeling of a need for light, and the light. Therefore, the whole exile in Egypt is altogether existing in order for us to feel how much we need redemption, redemption is considered that the Creator is revealed, in the exile which is considered redemption. Where Pharaoh instead of being the king of the bad, he is known as the king of good.

41. S. (01:24:18) How can we come out of Egypt to be with the 10 when you have to be involved and working in a corporeal life, how to be a hundred percent working with the 10?

R. The spiritual work is not with our hands and our feet but rather only in the inner desire of a person which has nothing to do whatsoever in any physical action therefore with all of the physical actions also without stopping, with spiritual actions.

S. How to combine two things, one that we shouldn't focus on the evil but only the good and yes remember the evil in order to correct it and come out of the rule of Pharaoh.

R. We need both either alternatively or together.

42. S. (01:25:29) A person has a lot of desires, why isn't it possible that one desire will be servant to the Creator and the other to Pharaoh?

R. It is not possible to have two kings in one body, you can't have this and that there is no such thing, two desires that nullify one another, when one rises the other falls or vice versa.

43. S. (01:26:03) The feeling of the lack of light and Egypt, they sound like two different things, are they?

R. Egypt is revealed in all kinds of forms from the best possible way to the worst way so don't succumb to saying that this is Egypt, it is the Exile from in order to bestow. In the beginning a person doesn't feel that he is in the exile from in order to bestow and doesn't want to in order to bestow and slowly he developed until he begins to discover that he is in states that confused him and he can't be given the possibility to change feeling that he has the control of Pharaoh. His nature his ego advances him only two in order to receive. He must come to a stage where he feels that Pharaoh controls him in every possible way and in this whole one hundred percent that he can cry out to the Creator to be helped and saved.

S. The state that I discover that Pharaoh rules me is it my personal work or the whole ten?

R. We are talking about this because a person needs to invest forces in it and then discover,

S. The state that I discover that Pharaoh rules me is that my personal work or in the ten?

R. If we're talking about spiritual discernments are only from the 10.

Excerpt 124 (01:28:05 - 01:29:11)

Excerpt 125 (01:32:37 - 01:33:27)

44. R. To really appreciate redemption, we can only do this after we go out to redemption as much as we see the gap between the exile that we went through to the redemption but before redemption and we can't know that the exile is that bitter because it is one compared to the other only in the discernments in between them can we understand the difference.

Excerpt 126 (01:33:58 - 01:35:19)

45. R. What is the light of redemption when we start seeing that there is no difference between the Creator, Pharaoh that it is all one upper force playing with us in order to shake us up, to awaken us above the evil force and above the good force and to cling on to a source.

46. S. (01:35:39) The vessel created in the exile, is this out of our work in despair or the Creator who creates the vessel to comes out of exile?

R. The vessel created in exile is necessary, without these vessels created in the exile we cannot reveal a spiritual state, without Egypt you can't reach the land of Israel, without the land of Israel you can't reach the Creator. Egypt is called the big will to receive, the land of Israel means the great intention to bestow and the will to receive with the intention to bestow we can discover the Creator to a full measure.

47. S. (01:36:47) Baal HaSulam writes in letter number 14 that the light of redemption stems from the fact that there is none else besides him, how does one feel this so it becomes the light of redemption?

R. That is really under the control of one force, Creator, Pharaoh and all of these things are the exact same thing just that man needs to overcome above all of this and connect can try to adhere to his root. That it doesn't matter to me whether it's the will to receive or the will to bestow that it is all relative. If I don't describe my own pleasure to this so there is no difference between Pharaoh and the Creator. That I need to uplift above my desire and there I can determine what the Creator wants, he wants this I will do that if you want something else, I will do something else that is called the servant of the Creator. The first of all I lift above every personal interest.

48. S. (01:38:10) What does it mean to serve two kings in the 10?

R. I'm not certain exactly what you mean but maybe it is part of the art of working through the good and the evil force together that how can we be in two lines and in the middle line between them.

Excerpt 127 (01:39:08 - 01:40:46) twice

49. S. Can a person serve the Creator while he is in the bad force?

R. How can that be?

S. You just said that it doesn't matter what state of person is in as long as he identifies it comes from the Creator?

R. It depends on what he identifies with, it could be that he is entirely to receive, by that wants in 1% that he has to come out of that in order to bestow so by that he serves the Creator.

S. This percentage is called redemption?

R. As much as you can yearn to the Creator, by that you serve him.

50. S. (01:41:47) How can we feel the demands of the Creator upon us?

R. by working in the 10, you need to depict the best state and the worst state in the 10, what it could be in between those two states that constantly try to see where you are.

51. S. (01:42:23) Does it mean the real war is only on the importance and we don't need corporeal problems to disappear?

R. Correct. The true battle is who is in control. the Creator or Pharaoh.

Excerpt 128 (01:42:55 - 01:43:09)

52. R. In the entire big will to receive.

Reader continues “we feel the exile and the Creator redeems...”

53. R. That is called as if you feel that everything is only the will to receive controlling us.

Reader continues “and the Creator redeems on the 50th gate.

54. R. (01:43:49) That we must feel as much as we are under the control of the will to receive and that we have no ability to escape from it and only if we reach that final endless, and state that we are in the will to receive without any chance of coming out of it so what that last forces we cry for help and then we truly feel that if the Creator won't do it that we are lost. Then he saves us, a very critical special state from all the states.

Excerpt 129 (01:44:38 - 01:45:04)

55. R. From the lack of mercy

Reader continues “meaning gives him vessels of bestowal....”

Reader 129 again

56. S. (01:47:18) A vessel of bestowal is this the power to bestow?

R. No, it is a deficiency to bestow, it is not the force to bestow, it is the deficiency that I will have the force to bestow.

S. So why does he say it disappeared as he says in the excerpt because the vessel is only a vessel, so how does he feel the feeling of exile was removed?

R. Because by this he is already not in exile by feeling that he wants to come out of exile he is already not in exile.

57. R. (01:48:43) There is nothing to explain, I want you to demand an explanation from above, I'm doing everything I can.

Excerpt 130 (01:49:00 - 01:50:30) twice

58. S. To ask for help, what conditions awake in the Creator's so there will be an awakening from below?

R. The fact that we ask for advancement towards correction, meaning advancement in connection when we check ourselves are, we connected now more or less from today or yesterday, until the next day? If we advance correctly so we demand from the Creator to advance and he agrees. If we are in a descent and we ask him to awaken us, to help us uplift to an ascent, it all depends upon this is why it is called and they sighed from the work, that we must feel that we can't succeed on our own this is the first thing that has to be. That if we feel that in our powers that we can't do anything but only with the cry to him, as much as we obligate him to help us as a child demanding and bugging from his parents to give him what he needs and then they feel that they have to do it. It comes from the force from the source of creation and then by all of these cries we obligate the Creator to help, but these cries must come out of the group from the center of the group and in the right direction of what we're asking for. So, there are two conditions to organize the vessel, preparation that is on one hand and on the other we need to ask for the right thing. From the shattered state, from helplessness, weakness that we feel lost and what state we want to get to. We want to have the forces to bestow, the force is to connect, the forced to bring correction to the whole world that the Creator will be able to be revealed in everybody by that we are bringing him pleasure. This is why the work in Egypt is so important and that we have no better states that we can cry out from Egypt to the Creator.

59. S. (01:53:32) He writes in the excerpt about the limitations in exile we see there have been many limitations on humanity lately, how do the limitations in this time relate to redemption in the last generation?

R. Connected but in a very weak way because he's limitations are on our corporeal life that we don't really see the connection between that to our egoistic nature that we have to correct. This is why, limitations so I can't go outside I can't do this or do that. okay, not too bad except for that a problem of the many is okay that the whole world is suffering, it is still not real suffering or real limitations. Before us there are a lot of worse states if we won't use what we have now, real tough and difficult ones will be before us. Imagine to yourself that now you can't go out for a walk let's say today and tomorrow not only that you can't go for a walk but that you won't have anything to eat at home. Those are limitations that are serious.

S. If we limit ourselves can we stop these limitations from coming from nature.

R. Of course but what does it mean to limit ourselves we're going to limit our ego from using it to treat each other in an egoistic way. So obviously by that we will mitigate and sweetened the state correcting it, clear? What could be otherwise, this is the only reason that it comes to us.

60. S. (01:55:57) Why is it not enough to have vessels of bestow all but that way also has to expand them?

R. The vessels of bestowal in us don't exist, we only have vessels of reception, vessels of bestowal mean we have the intention upon the will to receive, the intention to bestow, we don't have a desire to bestow that is the Creator. We only have a desire to receive whether more or less and upon this we can put the intention to bestow. That intention is what we received from the Creator to the extent that we ask of it from him, that we wanted and then we can reach it. This is our work to ask to have the intention in order to bestow and it doesn't matter in what actions, actions in reception and bestowal but the intention to bestow already determines the quality of our actions.

61. S. (01:57:30) What is the feeling of connection in the 10? Is it my personal feeling towards the friends that I feel close to them?

R. As much as you can include in you the friends to feel that they are really in your heart and to aim your heart towards the Creator then this is called that you determine the friends towards the Creator, this is how you organized the whole group and bring them to that determination.

62. S. (01:58:29) How to distinguish between the vessel of reception and the vessel of bestowal if it says don't believe in yourself until your dying day, also how to check what suffers in me?

R. We are always in the vessel of reception the will to receive that is what the Creator created and that is who we are and that does not change we can only use it either for reception or for bestowal but we are always in the will to receive this does not change. That is why the intention is so important and that is what we have to stabilize in the 10.

63. S. (01:59:35) A child or a baby sees things in the corporeal world and demands them from the parents, where can we see an example of bestowal?

R. In the 10 we can see as much as we are lacking desires to bestow to one another and with that to turn to the Creator, no more than that. Just that. Just like children play with one another if they are good kids, they ask from their mother to teach them how to be good to one another and with that they turn to their mother and their mother is giving them forces teaching them the laws of bestowal. This is what we need.

Excerpt 131 (02:00:47 - 02:02:19)

64. R. We must reach a state that we can't even for one moment anymore to be in the will to receive that we are so sick of our ego that is just dwelling in us, controlling us and bending us over to each and every direction at once and that we cried to come out of it. More than that we don't need anything just to get rid of it. If the Creator does that for us it will be called redemption.

65. S. (02:02:50) When we are in a descent is this called the state of Mitzrayim?

R. Egypt means we really want to connect but we can't, if we don't want to connect, we don't discover that we are in Egypt, that we are enslaved, that someone is controlling us. Egypt is a foreign governor, a foreign control over us meaning that we want to be connected among us and someone interferes with it, this is called Egypt.

66. S. (02:03:58) Today we read there are many distinctions on how to turn to the Creator, to cry out, groan, pray, demand is there a difference between these or all one request?

R. There are all kinds of differences of turning to the Creator through the states but generally we want only one thing to give us the strength in the power to bestow if I have the power to bestow it covers everything.

67. S. (02:04:43) In this war with the will to receive we often fall into the will to receive, if we fall how do we fall correctly so we can get up quickly?

R. I don't know what it means to fall correctly, we have to constantly want to rise and not to fall, meaning to come to bestowal, connection and if we follow it is the creative that sets it up, not that I prepare for myself a place to fall. I want to always get up and rise and if the Creator trips me and I fall, it happened, it's not my fault, it is that he tripped me into a bigger, more cruel will to receive and that he also will take me out of it. It all depends on my preparation that I don't fall, but that I grip him not letting go but only to rise.

68. S. (02:05:58) The force to bestow what is it when a person reaches Lishma, this is also in order to bestow?

R. To bestow in order to bestow is already a force of bestowal. it is our whole process in the desert in the Exodus from Egypt.

69. S. (02:06:42) Why is it not enough to determine none else besides him on everything else that happens to man why is he asking for the addition to bestow?

R. Because by this you determine there's nothing else besides him, how else to determine there's only the power of bestowal in humanity?

S. A person can be in a bad state and say that the Creator?

R. Of course it came from the Creator, who else?

S. Is that enough or should we ask for something else?

R. When you're in a bad state you have to ask to come out of this to a good state, to detect what is good and ask for it. We're in a good state today, we feel better and better increasingly more that we are in exile as we are preparing ourselves for Passover.

70. S. (02:07:59) Our prayer that we will right after the lesson how to cry like Rabash writes?

R. It means that there is lack of mercy, lack of mutual bestowal among you, this is called the depths, or the abyss and the Creator will answer me in the expanse, in the expensive place meaning he answers us expensively with great mercy.

S. How to ask from that narrow place?

R. Ask the Creator how to ask, how do I know, ask him how to turn to him. What another group does won't help me, you have to come to your own specific request, this is what we want that it will come out of your desires, your scrutiny is and specifically this request will be your own personal one. You can't take a book and read it from there.

S. How to scrutinize that?

R. I don't know you will find it but without it you won't succeed.

Excerpt 132 (02:09:46 - 02:11:02)

71. S. How can we exchange the intention to receive in order to receive for the intention to receive in order to bestow, what are we receiving that we can bestow with?

R. We have to receive the upper force called the upper light as he needs to influence us and invert our intention to receive to an intention to bestow which is done only with our requests and also through the Creator’s answer to us. This is what needs to happen, let us hope that we will do this and succeed.

Excerpt 133 (02:12:08 - 02:13:18)

Excerpt 134 (02:16:40 - 02:17:56)

72. R. All we have is the will to receive and how we accept that, look at it, establish this will to receive, what markings do we give to the will to receive. If we suffer from it is regarded that we are in a sort of exile perhaps it is exile from in order to receive, excel from in order to bestow it all depends upon how we relate to the will to receive. The will to receive is all that was created there is no difference here between Egypt the land of Israel all the places in the world, all of the desires, it is a song from the perspective of the attaining individual and therefore if we want to be in Egypt if we want to receive in order to receive, this is our world today and we feel that we are not in exile, that we enjoy this life. When hunger begins, we're not so happy anymore and we begin to search how we can run away and, in this way, we change our relation toward the situation that we are in and this is how we call these states Egypt, the land of Israel, the desert, exile, redemption it all depends upon how correctly we position ourselves with respect to the reception or bestowal. We should be less connected to geography, history and the whole story. It should be connected to the desire that a person wants to live.

73. S. (02:20:04) What are the results of not reaching redemption in the 10?

R. Not reaching redemption, we can't. The Creator will play such tricks on us that against our will that we will want to reach redemption. He has all the powers in his hands, all of the light, all of the darkness, the will to receive, the will to bestow, this is why he doesn't have any trouble turning us around any which way, whether we want to or not. Our work is that we want from ourselves to want before he does anything with us, this is why the correct work, our correct relation is expressed through the prayer, that even if we have nothing of bestowal, of love, of connection but we do want it and we ask for it to be. This is called “my sons have defeated me” and in that way we advance towards redemption. This is basically our work but there is no such thing as not coming to it of course the Creator will set it up so that we will come to it. Just like to know where there's no such thing is not living and not dying, everything is in the hands of Heaven, the Creator, same thing here so let us bring ourselves to the situation where we demand to cure before the blow.

74. S. (02:22:04) How do you reach the force of adhesion to the Creator if you are in exile and you don't even have the forces to ask or ask from the friends?

R. We asked from the Creator because we get the strength from the Creator, we receive the awakening from him and then we connect and try to come to him. You can't turn to the Creator alone, you need at least two, two is the least plural and when we ask in this way, he hears it and answers.

75. S. (02:22:51) It says in the excerpts coming out of exile, we know they go out to the desert so why are we ignoring that part of the desert?

R. We still don't feel it and that is the problem, it's not a problem, it's that we don't need it we need only to feel bad in our current state that we are controlled by the will to receive, by Pharaoh this is what we have to discover is bad and that it is so bad that the children of Israel sighed from the work, we had cried out to save us from this even from the desert, from the Red Sea is better than being in the Exile of Egypt. We are willing to drown in the Red Sea just not to be in this exile.

S. So the request needs to be to understand what the; and of Israel to bestow is or ...?

R. We don't want to be in our current state.

76. S. (02:24:21) How can we convince ourselves that it is Pharaoh not answering our questions and not the Creator?

R. It doesn't matter, it depends what you want, do you want to achieve connection and bestowal then you turn to the Creator if you want to run away from what is bad for you and it doesn't matter what and how then you are turning to Pharaoh. It is the face and the back of the same force.

77. S. (02:24:50) We know we have to ask of the Creator to take us out of the bad state to the good state, what is a good state?

R. It is really a problem but the good states can be only one, that we are similar to the Creator although it may not see it, we may not know what it is exactly but the good state is when we are similar to him and then it is good if we connect, if we are closer to each other. Then it is certain to the extent that we connect and above our ego despite our egos then the upper force, the Creator is over us operating on us, connecting us enveloping us, wrapping us and then we feel that we are under his governance this is the most comfortable and best thing.

Excerpt 137 (02:26:33 - 02:27:10)

78. R. In other words, there is nowhere to turn but only one source to which I can turn, this is the Creator and then my prayer is real and to the real place.

Excerpt 138 (02:27:25 - 02:28:02)

79. S. He wants to bestow only for the sake of the above but there is no ability.

R. You can say it this way, it is the beginning of the will to bestow, the desire to bestow upon the Creator, but still we can't so we cry out because in Egypt we can't so this is why we cry out, meaning Egypt, the will to receive, it can't be done this is called the Exodus.

S. There is an exercise every day that we're going to do connection exercises between us how do we aim this to bestow?

R. Today we can intend for the group activity that we are doing together in the direction that we spoke about and for this we need to connect and to influence, to bestow the most important is to be together with everyone not that each person will be a wise guy who pulls the country or the world to what he thinks is right with his own base intellect.

80. S. (02:29:52) It feels like the lesson went by in 10 minutes and then there's a feeling of happiness and excitement but sometimes you feel the lesson doesn't end so is that some kind of way we can measure if we work correctly?

R. The time of Passover is not a simple one we get the hardening of the heart, the burdening of the heart we become more sleepy, heavy eyed, we have to detect our situation more clearly who were turning to how do we tighten our ranks, all of this has to do with Passover so let us try. Especially as we said with the group activity that we have today that is hope that we do it together at least on the physical level.

Excerpt 141 (02:31:18 - 02:32:45)

81. R. With this week include the lesson, what can I tell you about all the best to you, do your homework and we will continue tomorrow morning with a new song in our hearts.
