Excerpts from the sources: “Work with Faith Above Reason”, #43

1. Rav’s Introduction: This is our work to acquire the force of faith above reception and this force will change in quantity and quality according to its essence and many modes it is not on us it is on the Creator as he says He who renews everyday the act of creation. What is the act of creation It means He created the evil inclination and above it we need to reach the desire to bestow and this is how we progress, the Creator adds the desire to receive everyday each moment we can feel it and we need to respond to all the changes by wanting in its place the desire to bestow. Not that He takes away the desire to receive because the desire to receive is good but only on the condition we can cover it with the desire to bestow this is love covers all crimes and this way we ask together in the group, each in his group and all together in the larger group until the whole world together with us will ask the Creator for the end of correction.

This is our work it, is called the work above reason because our reason, the desire to receive is like everybody says, in my view according to what I can reason, according to what I feel so the work is to rise above reason. Exactly set up the force of bestowal to be above the force of reception which we received from the Creator every moment. They also spoke about it in the Congress in that to the Congress which we had, in my eyes it was very successful. We received much closer to this Kli called faith above reason and we will try practically to reach a state where each friend individually and all collectively will acquire this degree of faith above reason, this force of bestowal, which will dwell among us and also from us to the Creator. In this way we will try to get closer to Him as he is a merciful, so are you and so on. I am very moved by how we went through this attack, this connection between us where people feel and understand and even if they don't feel it that much or they don't understand it, yet there is already fact within them, that this is the path and this is how we are going to the truth and this is what is important. So, let us follow the quotes which we have from the sources and move forward you can ask questions, we can discuss and let us continue, let's continue, good luck with God’s help.

Excerpt 43 Reader (04:30 - 06:43)

2. R. These are thanks which will later become more clear to us but in the meantime when we have to get used to our new Kelim, we start from the most simple initial fact that we have to reveal to ourselves that the effort which we need to put in is not an intellectual effort, as it is written it is not the wise who learns spirituality, the spiritual path, it is not an intellectual path. So nobody can say that they do not have their mind or that they do not understand, it is said that the heart understands the more we open the heart to giving, to connection the heart opens up and begins to feel what is going on. Specifically, among the people who come to the wisdom of Kabbalah, who are initially not so sensitive, not so prone to embracing and connecting and it is not so clear to them that we have to open our hearts to each other. That we have to embrace each other, cover each other with a single blanket, we each are complete egoists and we are going to discover our ego in even greater fashion at the point where we can't even tolerate each other, we want to kill each other like the students of Rabbi Shimon. The will to receive created by the Creator gradually revealed to the extent they can work with it with a correct manner therefore the effort should be not intellectual but emotional and the intellect is needed only to aim the emotions. The emotion needs to open up, this is where we need to feel that we are blocked, this is where we have to find where we can make contact with each other and to do that we also need that mind but it is there only as an accessory, as an assistant to the emotions because the desire is emotional and we need the desires in order to connect to the corrective system of Adam HaRishon.

It is not the same system as it was before before the shattering before the sin, it is in a much more complex system now and here we need to work with the mind so first it is the Rosh of the Partzuf where we use the mind how to calculate with the emotions the Tzimtzum, Masach, Ohr Chozer, Zivug dHakaa, all these happen emotionally, in our emotions with each other and with the Creator. But in order to manage these emotions how they connect and how they direct themselves to the Creator for that we need the mind so we work with faith above reason meaning not according to the reason as we had before which is the desire to receive but according to the desire to bestow. This is how the aim ourselves to work and connect with each other and here we need both an intellectual effort but it needs to be such that will direct our emotions to each other and then we gradually are beginning to understand what did correction of the system of Adam is depends on how we connect ourselves to be particular vessels of the collective system. All the vessels are then working together in a uniform way just like in the body we are not yet aware of it and the doctors and so on don't know but in more or less we recognize that any change in the system of the body even though we don't always identify it but it has to influence the whole system of the body. The whole system of the body has to adapt itself to every change that is happening in the system. We have to feel the same in the group that we will begin to see all kinds of changes in the friends, in the group and accordingly, I will feel how I am supposed to change so to maintain the increasing balance today more than yesterday and tomorrow more than today.

More connection between us to the point where we feel in the connection who sustains and who revives this connection the spiritual life which is the Creator. Therefore here we have to always bring ourselves back to the state where it is not the smart who learns as it is written, meaning that our study is about how we connect our broken desires and these are desires which are in opposition, in conflict, in distance in miscommunication with each other and there that is where the make the correction to the extent we correct ourselves and we reached the first degree of correction we already start to sense the system and the force which unifies the system which becomes revealed. That is the Creator on small degrees, on the Nefesh dNefesh dNefesh and so on. The most important thing is that we want changes not in understanding rather we need understanding only to ... ourselves to aim to connect and support our desires, that our desires will be connected and not connected by way of dominating each other but complimenting each other into a single system and that puts us closer to the Creator. Let's begin to do that. We have a good preparation for this we went through an unprecedented Congress as much as I remember the congress as a birthday celebrated in which I participated in the last 15 years. I do not remember that we had such a fundamental Congress in the sense that it gave everybody a change in progress in understanding the spiritual degree which we are facing. We need to be thankful to the Creator that He gave us this gift and in the meantime, let's look at a few questions and then we will continue.

3. S. (15:50) The point of faith above reason which we reached at the Congress through the attack at some point ii becomes reason we begin to understand and there is a point of connection with the friends which we have attained, what from here is the point of reason?

R. It is not the effort in quantity but it is an effort in quality, you each time you will feel that you need to go for connection despite various resistances that the force of bestowal has to be greater and more complex than what it was before. This way you will all have to appreciate it on top of the separation, appreciate this force of Oneness which you achieved as opposed to the individual force and your individual force will always increase the Creator setup in that way, that the ego with always grow and you don't want to connect to them you don't want to do this. You suddenly you say such words which if you saw them from your connected state you would think you have gone insane, that you lost your mind but this is how you are thrown from this work from love to hate, from hate to love and the more, the faster you go through this transitions, the more and faster we will get to the goal. So do not be overwhelmed by going through this states which are completely opposite to connection, to the point that there is no person I hate more in the world than my dear friend who was precious to me before in the group. But I forget it I cannot believe that this was so today I see his true face and I hate him. Here there has to be the work of the group The Creator does this deliberately that we should set up the group to throw us the rope the lifebuoy so we can come back to the connection and if it happens through the group, then it is as if I do it on my own because me and the group are the same and when I fall it is because both me and the group prepared these states and then specifically from the gap between connection and disconnection the place for the Creator's revelation is there according to the coarseness which is the power of the ego and the Zakut which is the screen and the reflected light which we want to install.

4. S. (19:19) Do we have to realize our work through our free choice in the group or in the imaginary world when we are not aware?

R. Our work is only in the group. The spiritual work is only in the group and with the external world we just have to disseminate to them, what we decide what it is appropriate for them, what to pass on to them, but our spirituality is only in the group. As we want to bring the entire system of Adam HaRishon to correction, we are obligated to disseminate outside of the ten, but in practice we are basically doing the work in the ten, and the more I connect in the ten, the more I prepare the ten to connect with other tens in Bnei Baruch so all the groups prepare themselves in this way. Hopefully our next Congress which we will do as we are already one, where we will be as we are a single ten there. We are in a gathering, like in a time where we are now as if we are in some assembly room, it will not be just an assembly anymore, we will then feel that the Congress is not an assembly and simply a state which we have achieved. That we are one single group that is comprised of hundreds and thousands of tens. I really hope that this is what we will achieve next time, and if not next time then the time after, but it is very close to us, this is what we are facing. I think it is within our reach.

5. S. (21:45) So we start with reason and we discover it is not correct, and we ask the Creator to rise above reason?

R. Yes.

6. S. (22:09) What is the importance, what does it mean that adhesion obligates one to work?

R. I want to reach the system of Adam HaRishon, where the whole humanity becomes connected, meaning all the souls, because the bodies we won't feel any more, we will feel more internally, the desires, the bodies are just the imaginary world, the desire is what the Creator created and that is what exists. So we will start to feel how our desires can be in connection and in their connection, though there is an ego in everybody, a rejection to the others, then despite the rejection we nevertheless we put together the connections between us and start discovering in these connections that there is a resistance to the connection and above the resistance there is a force of connection which we ask from the Creator, and He gives us this force and this way we will come to a state, where we will have this inner Aviut, coarseness and resistance and above that we cover all this resistance with connection between us, and this is called faith which is covering the reason, so we go to faith above reason.

7. S. (24:04) The Congress is finished, many meetings, many lessons and the connection was expressed in the forms of meetings and reviewing material and suddenly we had the technical problems, the internet dropped, and then we are aware and we ask ourselves whether we are also truly connected and whether we are truly integrated in the Kli with the friends, so how to behave, how to measure ourselves in this new feeling?

R. I would not measure all these things, accept how the Creator sets up these things and the main thing for me is to be as much as possible connected to my friends, to my group, to my ten because all of those emotional communication channels and the intellectual channels where I am somehow with the others. Only renewing the connection between us is essentially what takes us to the right state where the Creator is revealed, only that, so do not work with the mind too much but the emotions instead. However, to awaken the emotions it can take many years but we do not have a choice, we have to keep more and more looking at the others, being envious of them that they are emotional, they can sense each other and I cannot feel, why can't I sense them. I remember I was very much blocked and to this day I am very blocked emotionally, I am not good at sensing the others, I am very stiff, I am not easily impressed by others. I have criticism, resistance, this is my nature, what can I do. When I hear that, “one who is greater than his friend, his inclination is also greater than himself”, that I have a greater inclination than others perhaps it tells me that it is the right preparation from the Creator’s part, so I justify it.

Still they advance they feel some friends are already sensing a spiritual feeling and I just understand, I hear that this is what they talk about with each other, this is how they understand the material, they already sense the Creator somewhat, and I just look into the book, look into the TES and there I study because that's where the intellect is like the friend from Moscow who demanded that we study TES, of course we needs to study it, but to the extent it doesn’t hinder the main work, as I do not want to die with my intellect, that I studied 2000 pages of TES. I want to come to a feeling before I die, I want to feel that I have similarity with the Creator and for that I need the force of bestowal, I need the articles and the direction that Rabash and Baal HaSulam gave us. All I want to say is that “what the mind does not do, the time will do,” we need more and more connection as much as we can and even if we do them without any flavor in the ten, even though the Creator detaches us and does all kinds of exercises with us, still anything but leave, anything but leaving the group, even if I just sit there like a chair, the chair is there and I am there too. I bring myself to the study I bring myself to participation as much as the Creator lets me, and I keep asking Him to give me the opportunity to better and better participate with the friends.

There are people between us with a very strong desire to receive and they have the desire to receive which is not sensitive, not subtle, not built to sense, for intellect yes, but the feeling no, even though is very egoistic will to receive, so egoistic that it would not hear anything from what happens from the outside only from the inside, and what happens on the outside it can barely barely identify, it lives within itself. These people actually perhaps they progress slowly at the beginning as opposed to their friends, but they advance lot farther later on, so the most important is anything but leave and the feeling will come, it can come within 10 years or 20 years but it will come. It is said that the wise student is tough as iron because specifically the great Kabbalists were very stiff, very tough, very egoistic, very much inside themselves, they could not feel anything outside themselves. They were such that that they were devoid of any emotion, and bit by bit as the upper light works on them time after time it cleanses them, more and more to the point that ultimately they begin to feel more, and through the feeling they begin to understand and just as they discarded the understanding at first then they come to a point, where the heart starts to understand, so they begin to understand again through the emotions. When the emotions change from time to time, through the differences of emotions they feel the new mind that arises from the gaps between the emotions, that is already a spiritual mind, and we will come to that.

8. S. (32:09) About 10 years ago you gave us an exercise to pay attention during the day to our emotions and to our attitude, to our thoughts and desires and that gave us some opposition to work with during the day, is it valuable to go back to that exercise to try to feel and the pay attention to the states we go through?

R. Yes, the exercises are all aimed at the states we are going through, we have to be sensitive to what we go through in the heart, and our mind we need to use only to relate to what the heart is going through, what is going through the heart, how the heart is aimed at each friend and connecting the whole ten together. This is why I need the intellect standing behind the emotions, understanding what is happening to the emotions. What the Creator does first is changing our emotions through the upper light that influences us, it changes our emotions and then we see a changing world, receive it emotionally, through our emotions for example the physical world, but after that comes the mind and begins to feel in the mind, that is what I felt yesterday that is what I feel today how did I change and so on, and that it gives us the sensation of flow of time. Really the mind stands behind the emotions and it is given to us in order to decipher the feelings, so we should always think how am I connected to the friends right now, how the friends are connected between themselves towards the next, future state we need to achieve in our connection, in our emotional connection to the point of emotional connection that will be the place for the revelation of the Creator.

9. S. In the absence of the sensitivity, feeling to the friends we have a method called faith above reason what kind of sensitivity does this method conceals inside, what should I feel within this principle?

R. I heard from Rabash for a few years that I have to go by faith above reason and for me it was only a mantra or a slogan, like a code, like abracadabra. I did not understand what does he want, I looked at him like a baby looks at the grown-up trying to tell him something but the baby you know knows nothing, opens his mouth and looks with his eyes but does not understand. The same happened with me, and when did I start understanding what he was talking about, what did he want? When I started investing a little bit in connection and even when I started investing into the connection with the friends it was only because I had envy, I was jealous, I was envious that they had such a relationship, they had a system of connection and I was not in it. I didn't know what they wanted from each other, why are they connected ok, studying I understood as I used to be a student so I understand the studying together. But what is in this connection, what is needed there, what is the kind of feeling that is needed, some kind of a love between people? What kind of love? Between man and woman I understand, between children and parents I understand, that is love I understand, but love between a few men? Where do we have to go, we have to go up to the sky to the Creator? So it was very very difficult for me to understand how our connection is a connection of desires, of emotion, so the development emotions between one person to the other, why is it so difficult? Because this is where the shattering took place and the higher the person's soul is, the shattering was even more powerful and that makes the person farther from understanding that specifically in the connection where he finds his place, his corrected place in the system of Adam HaRishon. I remember myself I was just opaque, I looked at the other people that I was studying with, the veteran students who studied even with Baal HaSulam, who remembered him and I did not understand I did not understand what was going on.

But bit by bit, I am telling you let the light work on you and then you will begin to feel that, this is how it works, after years you will feel this is how it works. The entrance to spirituality is what we need to be doing throughout our life, and whatever we do is never lost, it does not go away, each effort joins and integrates into the sum total and this is how the advance. But the main thing is to try to find to look for in the emotional contact with the friends in the ten this is why the ten is so important, and it is not happening through words, the words you are talking you can even be talking opposite words, where you do not show the good attitude of love and giving, it could be some form of disregard, we will read at some points about those Kabbalist from Kotzk, a place in Poland where they lived. They treated each other with contempt, with a kind of disregard, not with care, and specifically through this wild behavior they gave each other the place to overcome, to do inner work there. How he tells me that he does not want connection is to give me a place to work so I overcome this external impression and specifically connect with him internally. This is how it happens and there are many stories how Kabbalists behaved in that way, but that's already for people who can tell the difference between the true attitude and the game attitude, to awaken the friends to add more effort and to judge each other to the scale of merit, even though when one see that the other is completely disrespectful to the others and so on. Slowly slowly you will see how these methods of connection between us unfold, that we will have to go through the whole process and the Creator will reveal for us the evil, will instigate different arguments between us like between the students of Rabbi Shimon, and we will learn it until we come to the right connection between us.

10. S. (42:26) There are 17 people in our 10, but what should I consider that it all depends on me so we will be all connected?

R. The connection in the ten depends only on me, that everybody will be connected depends only on me, nobody else. Like now I see them far from each other, even hating each other, I see like this through my own eyes and I cannot say what is the true form of relationship between them. Maybe they are in love but I see it as rejection, as hatred. So, one judges through his own faults, so I need to correct my own flaws until I see them connected in the same way we will see the correction of the world, that the correction of the world depends on my own correction. Until I start to see where I think that they are all connected, and it seems to me that I come to the revelation of Divinity where I see them all connected and the Creator fulfilling all of them. This means that one judge's through one’s own faults from here until the final correction, so I cannot say what the others are feeling, I can only say from my viewpoint what I see, what I feel and how I judge the world.

11. S. (44:25) You say that the earlier Kabbalists behaved initially without emotions because they had to work with the reason, when and how can we go from the emotionless state to the state of love?

R. Only through envy, only through envy, this is a very special thing that I look at the others they seem to me worse of on one hand, on the other hand I see that they are connected and they are closer to one another, and I begin to envy them for what the Creator is doing to them and why I cannot do it, why is it that I don't even want it, I forget about it that I don't want it, I cannot, just leave me alone, but later I learn more. I hear again that the most important is to be together, that I cannot have the revelation of the Creator which is what I want. Why am I alive for, only with the conditions that the Creator is revealed in me, and this is only with the condition that I connect to the ten, so envy is the most important thing we have, and we need to quietly between us in agreement between us to do such actions between us, that grows this envy, to awaken the envy in each and every friend. Even Rabash used to do this intentionally, when he would give from that wine he was drinking to someone special, and something else to somebody else who was special, and then I was looking at him, asking when will I get something and he said no, I'm not giving you anything. Do you know what it feels like to hear it from your teacher that he is not going to give you anything in front of everybody, why am I not getting anything, am I doing something less, I try my best at all the lessons, but no I'm not getting anything.

To awaken envy, to awaken these things we need to do, each friend has to do it to the others, this is the meaning of each friend helping the others, when we say help, how can we help, in what I can awaken the force of envy? This is the greatest thing that exists in the person and by that he can progress, this is called help against because envy is a great force in the ego, but that specifically helps us to come out of the ego. This is called help against as the envy is inside the ego as the greatest force, and then it gives us the impulse to come out of the ego. So do not forget about the envy, try to work with it so the friends would be impressed by the envy and each will want to advance.

12. S. (48:42) What is the quota of spiritual effort built from, what should be more emotion or intellect?

R. Both, I cannot say but first I have to care about the feeling and I have to use the mind to advance myself to emotional development, that the mind is needed to develop the feelings so much so that we would feel this as the Creator.

S. How is it possible to work more with the mind and the heart, what is the exercise I can do?

R. We have to give importance to the feeling, how much we can develop the heart, because the Creator seeks the hearts.

13. S. (50:15) We just finished an intense and powerful Congress, how do we need to feel that it’s light can affect our work properly, that the light of the Congress can affect our work properly?

R. We need to do summaries, we need to create summaries of the congress, you can write it down you can talk about it, but there should be a summary, recap of the impressions, what did they got from the Congress and by that how do I move forward, what was before the congress, what I got during the congress, and what state am I in now. I think there is alot to talk about. You can summarize the result of the congress you should write about it in different languages and we will summarize it all, let's say in English which is a general language to everybody, what new things we received. We need to summarize it, and we will continue, it is worthwhile to do, it is always worthwhile to do it because it means that we are attaining the collective conclusion so try.

14. S. (52:19) If you think the summary should be done collectively, it can be sent to the well-known email address boardworldkli@gmail.com should it be an individual summary or through the tens?

R. Through the tens because less than ten it is irrelevant, the person has to summarize it in the ten write it down preferably in English and send it to the above email address and we will process these things and we will do a general summary out of it. It is for everybody it is for everybody to do, there is the mailbox you write to it is open everybody can see that everybody can participate and we will think how to do it because this can brings us together so we need to look at it and we need to take it not as the work of summary of the congress but as a work of connection, it helps as to connect more our brains and hearts and this is why we have to do it.

15. S. (53:48) A part of our study is dedicated to workshops, we do workshops in the Zoom as well and it is really a unique device through which we can find some reflections about how much we are different or close. We talked about heart and mind, sometimes the workshop appears as some sort of intellectual speech, sometimes we run away from the question. So the question is about the workshop, how does a connection workshop look like with regard to the heart and the mind?

R. I cannot correctly tell you, first of all I didn't hear very well what you said because the connection you have is very bad. I do not know what to tell you so let us go back to this question after some time when the connection will be better. I could not hear you very well.

16. S. (55:14) How is it preferable to play towards the friends to awaken emotions?

R. Just like that, as much as you are capable but this game needs to be real!

S. About the importance of envy is it important to advertise who was at the lesson and who was on the zoom to awaken envy?

R. Of course it is needed in the ten, this is necessary this is a must, you come to some connection between you twice a day and you cannot see who is there who is not there? How many are you after all ten more or less.

S. Those who aren't there, they do not know who was there.

R. Are they not curious, do we have to announce it to them, how do you do it with someone who is not in the ten, so you do not call him immediately to pull him in, maybe something happened to him?

S. So in the middle of the day if someone is not coming to the Zoom do you recommend to call them?

R. Of course, otherwise how come you don't call someone, how can you be indifferent, if you knew that without this friend, without this friend you cannot reach your spiritual goal, if he's not there at the meeting you cannot reach the level by which you can come close to the Creator, so you just leave it like that? Ok let it be, I am not calling? When I called so I am even more proud, because I am in connection with the Creator. But it is not a positive connection it is a negative connection, it is not for creating the excitement for everybody to come to the meeting, and also it needs to be a true care and concern in each heart to know why did the others miss it.

S. What to do with friends who have a habit, they come once a week, once in two weeks and you mentioned in the congress that there are friends who are less than friends, what to do with them?

R. You must come to the state when everybody is there always, you have to call all the friends, what are you doing when you meet twice a day, what are you doing there?

S. First of all there are Gabai and Shatz, they prepare the article from Rabash we read including a question for the Zoom meeting and everybody is answering the question sometimes one wants to add something from the heart.

R. I recommend to read Rabash articles from beginning to end, however many articles you have even 400 it doesn't matter, I recommend reading those articles. First of all, so you see that you are advancing even physically, you are reading an article one after the other, even if you stop in the middle does not matter, you are eating it and you work together in the ten. The ten that goes over all the Rabash articles has certain assets, gets an impression everybody together from what Rabash wants to say and then you can read from Baal HaSulam as well, the articles or his letters which has to do with the society especially, not so much about the intellect but about about the emotions, when he speaks about the correction.

S. This we do at 17.00pm when we take out the principles from the writings of Rabash.

R. I recommend to read the articles, read them.

S. Not to ask questions?

R. Just read them that's what I would recommend do not ask anything there is nobody to ask anyway just read and get integrated mingled with what Rabash is saying, don't waste time on asking questions from each other but listen to what we have to go through. Give importance to the fact that we are all hearing the same thing that we are all included, integrating it in what our teacher Rabash is telling us.

17. S. (01:01:14) I heard you say, speak of TES and the question is what needs to happen so that I can finally understand something in TES?

R. In order to understand the study of TES you need to read the articles of Rabash and Baal HaSulam on the articles of how to open the heart and then the wisdom of Torah will enter the heart and the heart will understand. This means that I am learning the wisdom of Torah and not just any old wisdom.

18. S. (01:01:59) Yesterday there was a good connection, now a friend doesn't come to the lesson again. I have a feeling of anger towards him, someone remembers that you said the one who doesn't come is a traitor. How do I relate to this state to cover it with love or don't treat him as a friend?

R. Call him each and every one of you throughout the day separately and start asking why are you not showing up, what is happening, what is going on. How many are you ten? Each one should call the person who was not there as he should feel how much everyone notices it and how much he is missed, let us see what is happening there with him.

S. How do we cope with the negative emotions like anger or suffering, do we try to control or suppress them?

R. We need to talk about them more, if we have such states of anger in the group it is like in a family that we have every once in a while, we need to have a scrutiny around it, a short scrutiny. How without an eruption of anger of the ego that we won't be able to advance, yet we need to know what practical way we have to relate to all of the phenomena.

19. S. (01:03:59) We talked about how first the emotion appears and then following that comes the mind, if we talk about a feeling of mutual hatred that awakens in the group what is the right way to activate the mind because this feeling typically activates the mind. Is there such a way of mutual mind and what is the right way to activate it in the group?

R. I am not a psychologist to enter all of those things, I think it is redundant to pick into all of those discernments that are still within my egoistic desire and if I engage in that that I only fill my ego that wants to work in this, whether it's how much this way or how much that way. I want to be in faith above reason and for that I need to aim all of my labor, meaning how much I want to belong to the force of bestowal compared to the force of reception, to raise myself above everything that is revealed in my ego. To make it analysis, a synthesis, the work of my intellect of how much this is like this or opposite of that, this is wrong in my eyes because I am in my will to receive and my corporeal mind and I am now trying to investigate what is happening to me, what for? Am I a scientist, a psychologist, a science my psychiatrist, if I want to be a Kabbalist, I have to raise myself to the force of bestowal and then as much as possible to be in the force of bestowal to keep myself there.

S. In answering the previous question we need to dedicate five minutes in the group to scrutinize if we caught ourselves in a form of hatred, what do we do in these 5 minutes?

R. We will explain to one another that the ego that awakens in one another evokes the feeling of hate and rejection, misunderstanding, division all of those expressions of a person's egoistic desire towards others and we need to understand that it is the Creator who awakens this in us, the Creator only as there is None Else Besides Him. He is sustaining our will to receive, our evil inclination, awakening it to give it an opportunity to rise that we grow above it as much as He changes the will to receive, I want to be above the will to receive and this is how we grow up. The spiritual ascent is always above the growing ego and I'm trying to be above it, to explain to the group above it, inside the group how we can ascend this way, to give examples.

S. So let us say the group sits down, we are six people what does everyone say in those five minutes if we discovered hatred?

R. I thought each and everyone is a lot, talked about how the Creator awakens that hate between us and how we need to strengthen each and every friend in the connection between us so whatever comes to the group comes from the Creator intentionally in order to advance us towards the goal that we must rise above our growing ego which grows in each and every one in different ways. That we have to each time raise ourselves above it. Like on a flying carpet, we sit on this flying carpet and this is how we are holding ourselves and down below the ego is growing but we are above it, the carpet is the screen and we are above it, this is how we are building the society.

20. S. (01:09:21) We are talking a lot about envy, what is the right way to work with it, how to learn how to advance the friend because when I see that a friend wants to impress and give inspiration, besides rejection it doesn't awaken anything me and the same thing when I try to inspire, I see the same response. How to learn to work with envy?

R. The fact that you are looking at the friends with a critical eye, it is clear, but when you wish to show the friends a form of bestowal from you try to do it in a subtle way that they will have fewer opportunities to criticize it. Everything else you will learn from life.

21. S. (01:10:34) How does envy work in a current virtual environment like the one we find ourselves in and how do we awaken it correctly to share impressions with others?

R. Do it as gently as possible, you need to tell them as if to say I truly need you, I can't succeed without you, this is why I come to you and I draw you into participate with us together because we are a small group people are weak and you, if you connect to this group you will truly add a strong and powerful, high-quality force, so don't leave us, we believe the Creator is giving us all an opportunity to come close to him. We asked for your participation. not full of pride but subjugation, one where it is clear where it stems from, that we can't come to any spiritual achievement alone.

22. S. (01:12:41) Is all of the distance in the ten hatred and how do you work against this lack of connection?

R. As usual as we spoke about this lack of connection what we have to do, I spoke a lot about it and it is nothing new.

S. I see lack of connection in the ten is this for me the wicked that are becoming revealed?

R. I don't know why you are looking for the wicked that are revealed, speak plainly, it is mutual rejection that is revealed, what do we do then? We need to discuss, connect and discuss how we are covering this hate with connection. Yes, that we should talk about it like doctors who sit down and discuss a patient, what to do with the patient, so should you connect between you and speak about the disease that is among you, the outbreak between you. This is the attitude.

23. S. (01:15:05) In spiritual work are there more tools for us besides mind and heart?

R. None, only the mind and the heart, Mocha and Liba, what else do you have, the vessels that belong other than the mind and the heart, we simply don't have any. Not only us, all of creation you won't find any, there is the will to receive created by the Creator which is from the outset in order to receive and we need to gradually turn it from in order to receive to in order to bestow this means to raise it from the shattering to life and this is how we move towards correction. Our work is only on the desire, in order to correct the desire we need to have next to it a system called mind, the intellect that will help us approach the correction of the desire correctly. In this system of intellect there is memory, many subsystems but they all belong to the mind, the brain, but it is in order to correct the desire from the evil heart which is the will to receive in order to receive, thinking only of itself. Then it closes itself off and it's egoistic circle to bring it to a state where the desire opens up and he would feel all of the rest of the things outside of him that he will attain in it the complete eternal spiritual world.

24. S. (01:16:06) The emotion comes from the effort that we make in the 10 to feel the Creator?

R. Yes, the correct feeling comes from the efforts to delight the Creator, effort, we need efforts nothing else, we don't succeed but as a result of the effort we receive each time a spiritual ascent. Our effort never brings us the desired result rather we put in labor and when it reaches a Seah, a certain portion of labor than the Creator brings the power that corrupts this labor into in order to bestow and we discover this corrected labor another part of the attainment of the Creator of the force of bestowal this is how it works. We never come directly from the exertion to the revelation, rather we only come within a certain level of exertion called Seah, a portion, then the Creator corrects it and fills us.

25. S. (01:17:58) We have a very active friend who studies with us he is also active during the day in dissemination but he has a problem waking up for the morning lesson, he turned to the group many times and we try to help him to awaken him but even now it didn't wake up how can we help such a friend?

R. I don't know how you can help such a friend if it's still been going on for years and he can't get up. It is a problem, he doesn't understand where is the exertion. The exertion is first of all to rise in the early hours of morning, Kabbalists used to get up and study at midnight although back then people used to go to bed early as there were no TVs, no electricity, rather 5 or 6 p.m. everyone went to sleep. If you ask me when am I going to sleep, 7 p.m. I'm asleep or at least in bed for certain. That is why I have time later during the day, I have the energy, without rising to the morning lesson a person cannot advance, simply does not advance. Whatever you tell me there's no such thing. If he wants to advance spiritually, he shouldn't make the wisdom of Kabbalah into the wisdom of dissemination, this is all negligible, he has to participate in the morning lesson, the amount of knowledge, the intensity, the inner filling that he gets from the morning lesson with everyone and with me he will never get throughout the day. It is a certainty. It is recommended to be together with us when we are in the morning lesson, this is the first condition for spiritual development.

26. S. (01:20:39) After the Congress there is a great descent in the spirit and sensitivity to what the friends say. What do you do with that?

R. Work on it, it will pass, there are many states that we have to go through until we begin our hearts a little bit, our feelings and that they begin to work according to the spiritual states the group is going through. For the time being the heart is blocked, that is why I don't feel that I need to get up and participate, on the contrary there is the burdening of the hearts that I fall asleep, this is how it works, I understand it. I used to also go through these things. You understand that I've been in it for 40 years, also with Rabash and six or seven years prior. I cannot say that it is possible to do it any other way.

27. S. (01:22:16) About reading the articles during the day it is that the tens are having two or three meetings a day and among other things they hear excerpts from the during these meetings, the question is whether now when we are reading the Rabash articles which is our new recommendation is there no point or what to do with the excerpts from the lessons?

R. Maybe it is better as you said to stay with the excerpts, taking them out and discussing those but it has to be very practical. I am not and can't really scrutinize it to feel what is preferable and what is less.

S. Another meeting in the day is usually also dedicated to the summary of the day usually the last meeting of the day, so friends are asking

R. I don't think we need to summarize the day. I don't think you can get something intense or practical out of it, it is better if we read and study a source.

S. About the summary of the congress for instance, now if we are reading the articles then still can we do one meeting for a summary of the congress and the ten?

R. Try, but make certain it is not just talking, make certain what is more beneficial as there is not a lot of time, what is most beneficial then you can choose.

S. So who needs to decide what is more beneficial as you said also from the lesson?

R. You should have meetings on it and decide what is more beneficial, this is how it always works out.
