Part 1 Rosh Hashanah
Reading Excerpt 15: (00:32) Kol Simcha, Letters " One should awaken one's heart….” Twice.
1. (05:30) Rav Intro: In other words, Rosh Hashanah, the beginning of the year is a special day when it is possible to establish, to position yourself, each one in the general public, and then he will see from this good results. Let's think about it, strengthen our hearts, and connect to everyone.
2. S. (06:03) It was written to accept upon himself the burden of his kingship with great love. What is that?
R. What is that? It is that everything that the Creator wants from us, all that the Creator wants from us to do, we will try to do it with all of our goodwill and by this, we will achieve the connection between us and in this way achieve correction.
S. How is that connected to immersing yourself in the collective?
R. Because that's the main thing: What do we need to do, only connect between us. Because the force of the Creator is present in everything and everyone not in one, not in a few, but as much as we are incorporated in the collective the power of the Creator the force of the Creator is upon us.
3 S. (07:24) When we're talking about the collective, what picture does there need to be for us as we want to incorporate in the collective of Israel?
R. Being incorporated in the collective means we want to be connected between us in order to discover the Creator who is present in everyone together. This is really our goal, this is what we should yearn for.
S. When you say between us, who do you mean?
R. Between us, between all of those who feel they have a tendency toward it.
4. S. (08:23) He writes that a person needs to awaken one's heart and the heart is not under the control of a person even the advice that he gives he should put it in the collective. Still, the heart is not under your control you can sit in the collective like a log and not understand a thing.
R. But still you wait and expect for the heart to be connected with everyone.
S. The sensation is simply that our heart is not under our control. Meaning even if you do actions there's a sensation of the heart, you all of a sudden receive a feeling or not?
R. Correct.
S. What can we do in order to say yes we're always talking about breaking the heart and expanding the heart?
R. This is why the breaking of the hearts, the connecting of the hearts is our work. This is why this work was given to us.
S. I don't understand what the work is.
R. That although you don't have much of a tendency to connect with others you do everything possible to be closer to them, and awaken them to come closer to you, and then through this mutual nearing you will feel that the Creator is actually pushing you toward connection and he expects this.
S. Is there some kind of advice for refinement in the work that if I feel myself in the collective and I feel that my heart is not under my control. What can I do?
R. You can with all your might try to come closer to the friends, awaken them, and awaken yourself to be close to them until you are as one, really, embraced in everything possible.
S. That's exactly my question. He says a person needs to awaken his heart. You said you need to push yourself to come closer to them.
R. Yes.
S. But I can't do that.
R. But you can feel how much you don't want it.
S. Right that I do feel.
R. Good, so do what you can against it, that's it do the opposite. This is possible, it is possible for you to from dawn to dusk search for such states, and possibilities, to be connected with the friends more, and more, and more, without any end, unbounded.
5. S. (11:50) What is unbounded?
R. What is abounded? More and more, without any limitation, without end. You just want to be connected with the friends as much as you can even imagine and it's not a question of time, of strength, or of energy, just try constantly, ceaselessly.
S. Endless to what?
R. Endless efforts, no end to the efforts until you see that the Creator is coming with you and pushing you toward it.
6. S. (12:46) How do you know that you are really putting forth effort?
R. Putting forth as much as possible all the time.
S. Is there a way to check that you are really?
R. No, no way to check. You just keep trying to be closer and closer to the friends and to help them and push yourself.
7. S. (13:33) In order to receive His burden of his kingship, we need to want to have his kingship over us?
R. I don't understand this sentence.
S. In order to receive the burden of the kingdom of heaven we need to want to be the vessel of the burden of the kingdom of heaven?
R. We should try to be, oh let's say, in the kingship or the kingdom of heaven.
S. Is this the disclosing of great love?
R. I don't know. I don't know about these wise, smart words, what you understand is enough for you.
8. S. (14:48) He writes that Rosh Hashanah is a state of being distant from Israel from the form of sentencing and a person due to separation. What's the connection between this and that?
R. We need to try to depict to ourselves how much we can be incorporated in the Creator, in him without any differences between us, that's it.
S. How is the separation between us connected to the separation from the side of the Creator?
R. To the extent that we are separated, we are far from the Creator.
S. Distance, meaning the separation between us you can measure?
R. How?
S. Let's say I don't feel the friend I feel myself.
R. Still I don't know about measuring, well okay, let's say that we can.
S. Not measure, black or white.
R. To that extent you are far from the Creator.
9. S. (15:34) What's that mean distance from the Creator?
R. Far from him, meaning you can't be an adhesion with him.
S. He's saying that it means to be distant from Israel from sentencing and from the person due to separation?
R. Yes, that to the extent we are far from one another, but you can say that we are likewise far from the Creator. You can say it's the same distance.
10. S. (16:11) What does it mean that the Creator loves the created beings, the love of the world, and extends mercy over them?
R. The Creator loves the created beings without any boundaries, without any measures. He is always interested in bringing them closer and coming closer to them, and if not for the purpose of creation where he wants all of us to come to connect between us and then with Him, then he would have done everything a long time ago.
S. What does it mean he extends mercy upon them?
R. He's drawing toward us the light of Hesed, what is called the thread of grace or the thread of Hesed because he wants to help us by this.
11. S. (17:25) If our effort is to raise the friends and to rise to them and then to rise together with him after that?
R. Yes, but the main thing is that we raise the friends above everyone.
12. S. (18:00) It's written in the excerpt that if a person is incorporated in the collective of Israel there is danger in this. What does this mean to be incorporated in all of Israel?
R. Again?
S. He says that in the excerpt that we just read, if he does not incorporate himself with the whole of Israel this might be in danger, God forbid, what is the meaning of that?
R. That he will not be able to come closer to the Creator because the main thing is that when we connect between us, from the whole of Israel, with the intention to reach the Creator, who is called Yashar El, straight to the Creator, then we can reach the goal of adhesion with the Creator.
13. S. (19:09) It is written if he subjugates his heart, subdues his heart before the Creator, and receives the burden of his kingship then the Creator appears to him from afar?
R. This is how it's written and the Psalms too, that the Creator comes closer to a person from afar, in order to show a person an example of how they are moving closer to each other.
S. When does the Creator appear to me as close?
R. He's close when a person forms the action, the act of drawing closer.
S. Nearing to the Creator through the friends you mean?
R. Yes.
S. How can we do this in a way?
R. We are constantly talking about it.
S. This means if we are constantly talking about that then the Creator is close to us?
R. No, speaking is speaking. We aren't speaking about how to be closer to each other so that out of this we will come closer to the Creator.
S. Okay, so this means that out of talking we're doing certain deeds and from that, we come nearer to the Creator?
R. By speaking we aren't doing anything.
S. I didn't understand, what?
R. We're only lying to ourselves.
S. What do we practically need to do?
R. We practically need to get closer to each other.
S. That's how we bring the Creator closer to us?
R. If we do this to that extent then the Creator too will come closer to us.
14. S. (20:59) Is the breaking of the heart and experience that causes our egoistic desire to die because of that, or does it come from our desire to come to a more advanced and superior state?
R. The breaking of the heart is when a person feels that his heart is really broken and cannot be a vessel for revealing the Creator, for feeling Him, within the heart. This is one of the stages of internal development of a person after that he comes to the correction of the heart. There is nothing as whole as a broken heart.
S. That's an act of the Creator?
R. Both the Creator and the person. When both of them yearn for one another they discover how far they are and how much they don't want to be far anymore and they have to work together on drawing closer.
15. S. (22:48) As far as we are from the Creator, we also discover how close we are to him, so how do we connect these two opposites, these two distances in that middle line? What needs to be that onset point here?
R. To the extent that a person feels that he's far from the Creator to that extent he has that inner drive to come closer to ask, to cry, and to connect.
16. S.(23:36) How can we practically connect if the conversations between us can take us someplace else?
R. If we study together and try to come closer according to what we learn, then we will not veer off from the path, we will not be mistaken. It takes a while but we are getting closer.
17. S. (24:15) The questions and scrutinies in the lesson advance us. If during the lesson there's no question, does it mean we're in faith above reason, that we are reading and believe in the material that we're studying? What does it mean that there's no deficiency? How can we scrutinize that?
R. We have to with all of our strength, with all of our means, depict ourselves as close to one another.
18. S. (25:27) How to connect and come closer to each other practically and not lie to one another?
R. This depends on a person's heart, nothing more than that.
19. S. (26:02) What is the foundation of every new connection in the ten?
R. To be closer to each other than before.
20. S. (26:25) We are happy to see you healthy and we want to wish you in this New Year and to all the friends, lots of health, and fulfillment of all your desires. Our question is that we've come together with the friends with a feeling that all are confident is in the Creator and besides Him, no one can help us we can rely only on Him. Is that the right feeling?
R. Absolutely right, an absolutely correct discernment.
21. S. (27:26) My question is with the broken heart of a friend. Do I need to do something with this broken heart of a friend or do I need to just pray to the Creator to help her with her heart or do I need to pray for her for Him to give me the opportunity to help her with her broken heart?
R. It's the same thing, I need to pray for the friend that he will be healthy, and strong, see the path correctly, and will be incorporated with all the friends in order to come to, in order to reach the goal.
22. S. (28:38) Our question is how can we in the ten connect, open our hearts toward one another, and be connected between us and connection?
R. Only through the connection between us, only through the connection between us.
23. S. (29:00) Why is spiritual work the burden of the kingdom of heaven? How can it be joy if it is a burden?
R. It is both a burden and a joy and in truth, the more this burden is difficult the more joy you have as a result, just imagine the situation and you will feel that the more you get work from the Creator, the happier you are that you got it. Okay
24. S. (30:01) It is that way then how to nevertheless intensify the joy that we received?
R. Through connection with the friends when you work together on what you receive from the Creator you increase the joy.
25. S. (30:31) Could you explain the matter of the removal of the boundaries between us and the disclosure of our hearts? Can we explain it in such ways, so that it will be clear to us?
R. We don't do that, the upper light does that.
26. S. (31:31) It is written if we're not included in all of Israel a person can enter into danger.
R. Yes, so what's the question? A person cannot reach the purpose of creation if he's not incorporated in all of Israel. All of Israel are many people who connect among themselves in order to reach the purpose of creation, which is to connect with the Creator, to reveal Him. This is why they are called Israel, Yashar El straight to the Creator.
27. S. (32:08) Please tell us why the Creator needs to break our heart first and then heal it?
R. Otherwise a person will not feel that he must collect the hearts together with everyone and then present them to the Creator.
28. S. (32:50) How to understand the measure of connection in the ten. Sometimes it seems like we have come to it, like a complete connection, then the next moment a person sees that is truly not that way. How to understand the measure of connection?
R. We cannot measure it, we have to aspire every moment for the complete connection.
29. S. (33:26) What does it mean to open or present our hearts to the Creator?
R. Connect them and present them to Him so he can fill them.
S. What does he fill them with?
R. With himself.
30. S. (33:54) Rosh Hashanah is like a new degree that starts with judgment. Is it right to say that without connection the world will remain in a state of judgment and will not approach mercy and grace?
R. Of course, he will advance, but not in as good of a way.
31. S. (34:29) How should we precisely feel the breaking of the heart in order to want to connect together?
R. You have to feel how necessary it is in order to attain the purpose of creation. If we do not attain the heart-to-heart connection between us then we will not do anything in this world in this life.
S. Do we need to have yearnings or longings for the Creator or for one another?
R. You don't have to do anything. You can't command yourselves together, you have to aspire together, to come closer between you in order to reveal the Creator.
32. S. (35:40) The connection of the hearts and the coming new year, to feel one another, do we enter through that into a new world in which everyone will feel the Creator?
R. Yes.
33. S. (36:14) What is the sign that the ten is ready to include itself or to incorporate itself into the collective?
R. When it feels that without incorporation it achieves nothing.
34. S. (36:44) Is the Creator revealed according to the exertion in the ten generally?
R. Yes.
35. S. (37:05) Is all of reality not advancing towards the purpose of creation and if it's so where's all the mercy of the Creator? The Creator is not giving us. We are paying for every piece of recognition on our own and the Creator doesn't give us anything by gift we're learning by the suffering so where's the grace of the Creator here? Do we truly have some kind of mercy from him?
R. The Creator's mercy is 100% from the beginning to the end of creation in all the states we go through except we attain it in the end, because otherwise we would slide it we would not appreciate it and we would not obtain the goal.
36. S. (38:41) We read in the excerpt to the extent that the illusion of a person in the society is actually a very magical manner, and it's not that each in the ten goes towards this awareness he measures according to his effort the greater reward according to the extent of his exertion. We sit and are happy that we are together, and then we discover there's a wall before us. How do I need to ask myself correctly and the Creator what am I doing incorrectly?
R. What exactly is the wall?
S. The wall is as if there's this feeling, not hostility towards one another, but some feeling of emptiness between us. Each is sitting in his own shell and I understand that he is great, but he's making the effort inside his own self. I can't free myself from my own self, and I don't feel it's like we're working inside our own self, with ourselves, with the Creator, the goal, how to come to the lesson. That's all clear to us, but what's next? How, or maybe we should just leave it as it is and then we'll come on its own, and in the end, we'll fall in love with one another. I don't know altogether maybe I'm completely wrong or mistaken?
R. We must, each of us, take upon ourselves a commitment to come closer to the friends so that the ten, in the end, will become something common and then in something common, we will discover the upper worlds. Depict this to yourself, keep depicting it to yourselves, and you don't need anything else.
37. S. (41:46) Do we find ourselves in Rosh Hashanah at the most distant point from the Creator is that sentencing from the Creator in a deep descent?
R. Rosh Hashanah it's a day when each one should inspect himself and judge himself and commit for today and for tomorrow what he wants to achieve in this life and depict to himself that this depends only on Him. That's why it is also a day of judgment.
S. From what I understand Rosh Hashanah is not a day of sentencing and trials, it's actually a good day so do I need to ask to enter this state of judgment and sentencing?
R. Yes.
38. S. (43:43) Sometimes the Creator puts you before a very difficult choice where you need to put your entire life into choose the path of bestowal.
R. Yes, that's the way it truly is.
S. You truly need to give up all the principles you lived according to and what people live?
R. What is so special about that?
S. It's a difficult choice and it's hard to follow.
R. Every minute, every day you have to choose anew.
S. My question is about each of us having his unique path.
R. There's nothing special in anyone. I'm sorry to say this, but there is no one man here or one woman who is special. In what are we special?
S. Meaning each makes his own choice?
R. Let's say this is really so, what is the question really?
S. Many times we bother one another.
R. Absolutely incorrect. You cannot bother or disturb each other because the Creator runs everything, he is the one that mixes you up, and he does everything.
S. He does this so that we will make this effort every day to take on his control, his rule?
R. Let's say he does.
39. S. (46:02) The glory of heaven would be something maybe if I had or my ten or if everyone I feel like the Creator has much mercy and grace in our tens, my Ten is here, and in order to overcome we brought the desire, but the Creator did a lot of wearing down on us and I feel like the annulment this subjugation the Creator helps. I truly feel how we are rising from one state to another thanks to the grace from above, on one hand, and on the other hand, it's a concept I have no idea what it is. I can love, and I can want for the friends to pray for them, this to dwell among my people, I feel it every day the pain of my people, the pain of our society, my desire for them, but I feel like in order to rise to another state we need to be more precise in a request because when we want to connect we feel exactly the ten and how we help one another no matter even.
R. I'm not hearing a question.
S. The question is how do we rise to the next degree in which we have a grasp on what the glory of heaven is? Maybe we can connect better if we do that rise a degree if we feel from above.
R. When all of you connect in order to respect the Creator, to raise him above your heads, then this is called reaching the top of the sky, that's it.
40. S. (48:19) From the excerpt that if he does not include himself in the collective he can be in danger. What is the danger for every single individual soul or for the whole ten and how can you identify those moments of danger?
R. The main thing for us is to be closer in our hearts and then we will succeed in everything. I have nothing more to add.
41. S. (49:19) I hear many questions from friends that they cannot soften the friend's hearts. I have had no complaints to any friends for a long time. If there's a problem I understand that the problem is that I cannot annul myself and I have to work only on self-annulment. Am I correct Rav?
R. You are right.
42. S. (49:57) Tell me please if a friend lost the taste for spiritual work in the ten. What should she do and what can her ten do to bring her back in the general circle?
R. Cry, cry everyone together, sit and cry.
43. S. (50:34) When our heart is broken, we want to be incorporated in Israel to feel the friend's hearts. This I understand, so what are the stages we need to go through in order to be incorporated in Israel, because Israel is something very big, too big to be incorporated in directly.
R. Israel is direct to the Creator, so those who are aimed towards the Creator and want to reach him it's called Israel every single person black, white, red, yellow, upon earth, men, and woman, if one has such an inclination to come towards the Creator he is called, or she is called, Israel. It's not a matter of nationality it's simply what it's called, that's it. We're yearning to eventually come closer to the Creator and to connect to Him, then we are all called Israel. All right?
44. S. (52:13) You said that the Creator controls everything when he takes a friend out of our ten. That's also his thought. How do we overcome it, how do we work with it, and not despair too much because according to the feeling our ten got even closer. But we still have tears in our eyes.
R. It's good that you also have tears and also the recognition that it is necessary. It's good.
Reading Excerpt 16: (53:00) Rabash, Letter No. 34 "It is said in the Rosh Hashanah prayer…."
45. S. (55:43) One society, one bundle is that the measure that we all have to come together the whole world Kli?
R. Yes.
S. Is that connected to the incorporation of all the people of Israel that we read in the previous excerpt?
R. First of all the people of Israel and then in the whole world.
S. What is this measurement I want to imagine and ask the Creator to bring us there?
R. Wholeness, the perfection that we are all included in one another, we all hold on to one another, we are all in one another, understanding that without the complete connection, we cannot reach it, that's it.
S. Now each of us has her own perception of reality and understanding and feeling which is unlike anyone else and we have to come to a state where all of us feel the same?
R. No, we cannot feel the same.
S. How do we know when we reach wholeness?
R. When we get there we will know.
S. Is it correct to ask if I'm really asking the Creator to bring us to complete measure even though I don't know what it is?
R. Yes.
46. S. (57:49) I cry a lot. I pray for the ten, on the other hand, I hear that it is forbidden to show sad faces in the society, so what do you mean when you tell us to cry?
R. To cry means that ache in your heart that you want to carry out an act of connection, but you're not capable, and I'm asking the Creator to join me or me to join Him and that's how we do it.
S. Sometimes you tell us we need tears, what do you mean?
R. That's how I mean it, that the desire needs to reach a state of tears.
Reading Excerpt #17: (58:55) Maor VaShemesh, Ki Tetze
47.R. (01:00:43) Meaning in short, in other words, we constantly need to be in one heart and one mind for one goal, to pray each for the others for all, until we reach our purpose, our exalted upper holy goal.
48. S. (01:01:06) What does it mean to work for the Creator, to serve the Creator?
R. To serve the Creator means with all our might we want to reach the purpose of creation and the benefit he wants to give us will be poured upon us. it will reach us.
S. What is the work?
R. The work is to connect. It all depends on the connection.
49. S. (01:01:47) They all write that we all have to come to one point. In 2 weeks we have a big convention coming up. How can we from day to day come closer and closer to one another, adhere and connect, and really be one bundle at the convention, to feel as one?
R. We should try to do this every day from the morning to the night and from the night to the morning.
S. What is the addition we should give each time?
R. Because each and every moment we have desires, and thoughts, that are new. Then we need to try and connect them together and to aim them to that one same state, to be as one man in one heart.
S. What can we elicit from the congress?
R. At the convention we are capable, in essence, to take out everything, to elicit everything. Our connection, our general connection in which we will all connect together and for us to feel the extent In which by this we make room for the Creator to feel us, that's what we need.
S. Connection is our constant tendency. What is our next phase as a world Kli to focus ourselves more?
R. There is no more than that. There's no more than us with all our forces wanting to come to a total connection. There is no more than that.
50. S. (01:04:05) What level of connection does the sentence have? Is that the minimum level or the complete level of connection?
R. Connection takes place from the degree of zero to the highest possible degree. In all those degrees we need to rise and realize the connection on each and every degree.
S. The question is about the sentencing. What level of connection does society make the sentence come true, at the minimum level or at the most complete level? What is the sentencing taking place? We read before that on Rosh Hashanah there is a sentencing?
R. That's in each and every sentence and each and every degree this condition takes place.
S. What changes in us as a result?
R. From one degree to another, in all these stages of the ladder we become closer and more similar to the Creator and closer between us until to the extent in which we come close more and more we unite and become as one man in one heart.
S. You said we have to cry because we don't want to perform the action of connection, no sorry cry because we do want to perform the act of connection, but can't. So when we come to that point when we discover that we can't, many times instead of crying to the Creator about it we run away because we can't tolerate the sensation of the oppositeness how do we not miss out on the opportunity that the Creator is giving us?
R. Just to be with the friends together and try to connect in such a way that they're holding one another.
S. Without words can we actually share the feeling with the friends?
R. Of course yes, I heard already that about 400 want to come, more than 400 people want to come so besides those that we have here in Israel. There's still time for more to come, so I think that this is a strong, immense powerful force that is capable and that we need to hold ourselves and to come to being as one man in one heart.
51. S. (01:07:57) So if we as a ten in a society want to receive because of his greatness more and more each time, in order to bestow contentment upon Him, to build him a bigger building every time and in this, we can do with the friends by exalting them above reason because in reason he is concealed, so what happens then as a result a person feels great shame and the only answer to the Creator is he can cover this shame with love, so when the feeling of love Is born inside the ten is this called the view of the upper one between us among us?
R. Yes.
S. And this spreads to the rest of the Kli as well?
R. Yes.
S. When I try to connect deficiencies with my friends each night into one prayer I feel that their deficiencies include or contain deficiencies of the whole world, and gradually they become my deficiency because I feel the yearning for the root and then what appears is great fear.
R. Why?
S. Because it seems very powerful to me, the light that will come too big for me to grasp it.
R. Don't be afraid we have nothing to fear from the light.
52. S. (01:09:44) You said at the beginning of the lesson that it's important to incorporate specifically today because that's a special day at the beginning of the year. How can we really, how can a person just come out, let go of himself, come out of himself, out of the shell, and enter the friends?
R. Well what's the problem?
S. The problem is that there are guards, the ego doesn't let go.
R. What is the Creator there for? To pray to ask, to cry.
S. Concerning what the friend said that she is afraid of, isn't it frightening to let go of yourself and shift to another place?
R. No, try and you will see you have nothing to be afraid of there.
S. When a person already melts and dissolves in the society what should he do there?
R. He needs to be like glue between everyone.
S. Shouldn't he feel the friends too much but simply be with the intention to bring them all together?
R. Yes.
53. S. (01:11:32) Sometimes the Creator gives us many options and possibilities in the corporal life and I want to use all of them and see the results. What should be my approach with respect to all the possibilities that the Creator is opening up to me?
R. Only connect through the friends to the Creator and nothing besides that.
54. S. (01:12:12) You told us that we should be in a state of annulment in the ten. How can we avoid that state of annulment reaching the state of settling for it, and it becomes a state of powerlessness and tastelessness in the ten?
R. That will come, don't worry as long as he wants to connect with all of his heart.
55. S. (01:13:11) If I choose the ten and I come to a place of doubt again, if I have the right understanding, and then I'm going to get confirmation from Rav for this. Should I let go of it and ask for faith? Meaning is it more correct to be mistaken with a ten in doubt rather than to get Rav's confirmation for my understanding?
R. You don't need Rav’s permission. The main thing is to be connected in the ten. Okay?
56. S. (01:14:20) Wholeness, connection, It's not the final state it's a process. How do we know we are complete enough, whole enough for the revelation of the Creator?
R. You will operate as you should and ask nonetheless.

R. Open your heart and let them enter, that's it.
58. S. (01:15:36) Today you gave wonderful advice. You mentioned making a commitment in order to come closer to friends. What is the difference between commitment and mutual responsibility?
R. Arvut is where we are all guarantors toward one another, and commitment is where I commit to something, it could be something else, that's it.
59. S. (01:16:19) You said that there's no end to our efforts and connection we brought together in the lessons and meetings and the workshops, that’s clear. What efforts are there that do not end when we are outside our common work?
R. I must include within my heart all of my friends and sustain them there so they don't fall from there. That's everything. You didn't complete what I said?
60. S. (01:17:34) What does it mean not to agree to the control of the Creator? What does it mean to agree to the control of the Creator when all of my desires and actions are…?

61.S. (01:20:48) I wanted to ask about the convention. You mentioned the friends from the World Kli who want to come, more than 400 friends and women. I wanted to ask about this qualitative force that they bring with them when they come because you can feel that every time the friends come from the world Kli everything suddenly changes and a person's ability to be with an open heart, to dedicate himself, to annul himself, and to implement the method, becomes very open revealed to him, so I wanted to ask what is this qualitative force that the world Kli brings with him?
R. It's a good desire, attendance for connection, for closeness, for approximation touching inwards and outwards and it's very important. We see that our world is built this way there's no more coming close between people than when we make our bodies close to one another. Thus we feel ourselves as close so we need to hope that even more and more people will come and for us to receive them well and reach a true connection.
S. What does it mean for you to have this meeting with the World Kli?
R. For me it's an opportunity to nevertheless push everyone toward connection so much so we will feel the inner adhesion heart to heart and the Creator dwelling between us.
S. We spoke among ourselves and we said that there is really a feeling of a great opportunity, and there's always this feeling that we have a great opportunity but this time it's very palpable, so on what does it depend if this opportunity is realized or not?
R. Only upon the heart of each and every one. We want to see everyone, all our friends from all around the world will come for two, three, four days as much as they can to the convention and we will embrace them and just hold them between us and pass to their connection and I really hope that we will be able to implement it in the best possible way.
S. If you could just summarize, what is the work that each one needs to do with his heart so that this opportunity is realized?
R. The work is on opening the heart and to draw each of the friends into it, that's it.
