Lesson on the topic of "Winning the War (against the evil inclination)"
Part 1:
1.Rav’s Introduction (00:30): We win the war not on the physical battlefield but on the spiritual one. This is why we have to see what the Creator does in our world and accordingly we see how it influences all of humanity. There is hardly a nation and a country that is not connected to this war, and we need to put order in these things and connect as much as possible everything that happens into feelings, into a prayer, into a response from below upward. From us to the Creator. We have work to do. To learn and to carry out such operations in these days, in these times that will complement the work of the Creator which we will do from below upwards by raising man, our deficiencies, our requests, our pleas. In this way we will be able to advance along with this whole great flow correctly and the world too, will go with us. We will turn the bad forces into good forces. Therefore let’s read what the friends have selected for us, excerpts that pertain to our situation and let's try to recognize in them the spiritual actions that we have to do and in this way unite around them, solidify ourselves and by this we will actually win the war because all of us are in all kinds of contradictory states, towards everyone else, so let us get closer and closer to the center of the connection between us where we are all incorporated as one man with one heart.
Excerpt #1 (03:24)
2. R. (04:30) It is from the words Tzeh and Bah, going out and coming in. Meaning we emerge from the will to receive and rise to connection, to the will to bestow and we fall again into the will to receive and once again we emerge from it, through our efforts and connections and after we achieve something we fall again. In this way, through these excursions, through these going outs to connection and to fall to connection and to falling in this way we correct all the pieces which the Creator has prepared in the breaking of Adam HaRishon.
3. S. (05:18) What should we fight for?
R. For the connection. We constantly fall off from it. This is why it is called Tzva'ot, Tzeh ve Bah, going out and coming in. First, we have to exit. We have to discover that we are not connected and we can discover it through our work and then it is not considered war, it is just the regular progress, we reveal our lack of connection and we try to achieve connection, in this way, but sometimes it happens as it is happening now when we see in corporeality what manifestations of separations there are and then we all have to fight to bring this separation into connection, into unity and here we need to understand that the winner is the one who is fighting for connection. So that love will cover all crimes and we do not want to be under the governance of anyone but that the good connection will win.
4. S. (07:13) How can we fulfill this change between this difference, between what is happening now and the effort we put in like the prayer and the relationship between us spiritually, what we do every day. How can we complete this gap and not feel that we are so little opposite this big thing that is happening?
R. There is no problem here if we know only one thing, that love will cover all crimes. No one is right and no one is to blame, it is no one's fault. We just have to rise above these elements. I am talking about the inner war and the physical war, as a result of it, it will be over too. If it doesn't end spiritually first then these battles will stop, and these problems will stop but then they will light up again. This is why our work is to fight in such a way that love will cover all crimes meaning that there is resistance, there are conflicts and collisions, but we have to understand that there is no one here that is right or wrong because although it seems to us logical, reasonable and that each of them speaks correctly and reasonably but we do not get into it we just do not get into it. The point is to connect the extremes by rising above both and you can do this only if you understand that all of those troubles come, all these bad forces, these conflicting forces, come from the Creator and therefore by rising to Him that is the only way we connect to them. Only by rising to their source because it may seem to you like one side is right and we have to subdue, defeat the other side but we do not approach in this way. No one here is right or wrong. We have to think that it has to do with the Creator and there is none else besides Him. He awakens these problems and only by uniting correctly the two contradictory forces we can win. How do we win over ourselves? We win by not following what seems to us, that these are right, or those are right. We do not belong to the two lines, we belong to the middle line, that the Creator is a man of war. He is doing all of these things and there is none else besides Him and this is why only by turning to Him and demanding that he will make peace over the conflict, He makes peace in His Heavens, He will make peace on us. This is how it will happen and not in any other way.
S. I wanted to refine the question. I'm talking about feeling small with everything we do with our prayer and our efforts as opposed to what is happening in the world. It just seems like huge dimensions. How do we not feel that we are too small opposite something too big?
R. We are not small, and we have to start uniting among ourselves more and then we will understand how much we can incorporate huge contradictory forces, spiritual ones, until all the worlds are revealed in the connection between us. We are not small; it seems to us that way but in truth we are the greatest that can be in the reality that the Creator has created. It all depends on the extent to which we assume this task of bringing the whole system of Adam HaRishon into correction into mutual complementation.
5. S. (12:48) It is very clear that the common systems complete the two and that it is an illusion and that the reasons are imaginary. How do we connect these two internally?
R. We connect the contradictory parties and in general everything that is in disorder, it is in disorder because we cannot connect them together and to relate them all to one source. This is why all of our work should be in some way above reason. That it came from one Creator, and He demands of us to attribute everything to Him and to connect ourselves, relate ourselves, also to that connection and in this way we come to spiritual operations. We are gradually approaching it.
Excerpt 2: (14:00)
6. S. (15:51) Why does man think that this descent depends on him?
R. That is the whole meaning of the concealment. This is how we have to, from the beginning, accept all of creation and then we gradually scrutinize opposite from our ego and our intellect, opposite from the confusions in our mind and heart. We scrutinize the unification, the unity, and the uniqueness that only one force operates and activates all of creations. Everything begins from confusion. The Creator created a complete system which is Adam HaRishon prior to the sin. Afterwards he deliberately injected into the system the evil inclination and because of it the system broke and now we are scrutinizing in every element, where is the force of separation and where is the force of connection and by scrutinizing it, sorting them, and positioning them one opposite the other, we come to a state where we scrutinize our place, our source, our origin, and the Creator, who is revealed through our scrutinies, and this is really our entire war. Ok?
7. S. (17:45) At the moment all of the additions of efforts in connection stem from fear of the situation, that it will deteriorate, that the war will spread to here and it is not the purest intention. How to work with that? When the fear goes away, the effort goes away.
R. Keep demanding connection all the time and then you will discover how all of those problems, all those wars are artificial and really only the revelation of the uniqueness, the unification, is the main thing. That in every act the Creator begins the act and completes the act. This is what we have to do.
S. How to work with the fear being what motivates me towards connection and not the benefit of the Creator or humanity, how to work with that?
R. Connect with the group.
8. S. (19:11) Rav, I hope I can ask this correctly. For a long, long time we worked on trying to feel the friends and caring for them, working towards them, and placing the Creator as sort of the remote goal and it seems from this crisis that it kind of succeeds. You feel the friends as your children, you care for them, you try to think of them, but I noticed that we seem to forget the Creator in this whole thing. How can we connect these two concerns, these two directions, both the friends and continue to aim to bring Him contentment? I can’t hold these two things together. R. You can’t keep them together. You need to be once in this and once in that. It’s like the Tzava, Tzeh ve Bah, go out and come in. You always have two parts; you need to connect the two and therefore don’t dream that you will be able to immediately come to connection to the truth. Connection is already the Creator, it is an element, a facet of Him so we always come from incompleteness to completeness.
S. What does it mean to do it one time this way and another time that way? What do you mean?
R. What do you mean from this way or that way?
S. You said we cannot connect two things together, we have to come in and come out, so how do I one time remember that I have to care about the friends and then remember that I need to bring Him contentment, how to connect these two?
R. We have to scrutinize the shattering that we are in and on top of the shattering we will scrutinize the connection. Just as you do it with Lego bricks. You have to sort out the pieces you have, see how different they are and in what way they can be connected in order to create some complete form or shape, and this is what you do. Except it is done not mechanically but internally within a person to the extent that he relates to friends and to the world.
9. S. (22:02) What does it mean that the Creator is a man of war, and the Creator is a man of peace?
R. He stirs up the conflicts because there is none else besides Him and He stirs them up in a very special way and it gives us a possibility to scrutinize how different we are and where we have to make corrections and then when we come to Him after feeling all the confusions and troubles, if we come to Him, then he puts order in it for us and shows us how we could be together. This is called love will cover all crimes and then we see the beginning and the end of the operation, why He did it this way and what we achieved precisely from going from the incomplete to the complete.
S. If He makes peace and He makes war what is our role exactly?
R. To make the connection between the two. That is the main thing because out of this we learn the essence of the Creator, we become Incorporated with this operation, and it puts order in us. The beginning and the end of this act, this work and then we grow up, we become wise, united, and inclusive as He is. By this He teaches us what it means to be the Creator.
S. What does it mean to fight the evil inclination?
R. All the forces of separation on every level and manner are the evil inclination.
S. How do we fight it?
R. By asking the Creator to connect and then I see the evil inclination as an angel. A higher force that performs such operations that bring me to need the help of the Creator.
S. Can you try to explain what exactly is the goal in that the Creator does actions that he separates and on the other hand you have to ask the Creator to connect.
R. By this you study creation. How separated it is, broken, dismantled, broken and to what extent precisely through the upper force it can reconnect and become united but by mutual complementation. It is not like the Creator created a rock and this is all that exists but rather those myriad pieces of that rock when they, when you know how to connect them, how to compliment them in a way that they are all contradictory, but you know through the development of your good force, the bestowal, the force of Bina, how you can connect all those pieces of Malchut. By this you study the profession of being the Creator, where through connecting you attain His essence with respect to us.
S. What ends up being the role of man?
R. Our task, our role, is to turn to the Creator and ask Him to put order in things. Like a child asking grownups to help him. When he is playing with his Lego bricks or something.
S. What exactly are you putting together? With Lego there is like a picture I'm trying to build and in this case he keeps messing it up for me, every moment.
R. No, He doesn’t break it on the same level you put it in order.
S. But on a higher level He messes it up.
R. Yes, of course.
S. So what am I arranging if He keeps messing it up?
R. By this way He promotes you because you understand more and more of what destruction is and what is connection and in this way you study creation, the operations of the Creator in creation and then you actually attain Him.
S. So it turns out that the human we develop is our ability to ask the Creator to complete what we see as disconnected?
R. Each one, each person must do this because each one has a task only in this to connect to others and together with them become as one man in one heart. Asking the Creator to connect all of the broken pieces which are us. Just imagine that you are just a broken piece out of thousands and thousands of pieces and you, who is connecting to other people and to forces of nature you are connecting only on the corporeal level which doesn't even count. It counts only for the purpose of your initial existence but what you need to do is to demand, to ask, to plead for connection, for what we call the connection of the hearts. For all of us to connect in such a way that we will all feel as one. There are no words for it, no words for it.
S. It turns out that all of man is your ability to pray that is basically your power how you can pray to the Creator to connect. How do we crack this and develop the ability to create a prayer for connection?
R. Normally it is through the group when you learn from others. The Creator after all brings us to a state where you do get an explanation for what you ask for.
S. How can we help friends who are in distress finding suddenly such great hatred that they cannot overcome, and they are just helpless and cannot listen to the lessons, cannot hear you or other friends, cannot overcome the hatred. What can be done to help them?
R. Help them nevertheless in any way you can. Over and over and over try to connect them to us. What can you do? We all know that there is a limit to the pain, the joy, or another state and after that we can disconnect and it is hard for us to return to the connection between us, so we nevertheless need external help.
10. S. (31:23) The shattering between two nations is very clear now. The question is whether the reason for the shattering depends on the shattering within each of these nations?
R. That too of course but the main reason is not this. The main reason is the desire of the Creator to show us, to show us the shattering in the vessel of Adam HaRishon. Now this shattering is being revealed in this way and we must continue to perform Corrections. Do not think specifically about nations and all kinds of physical operations. Think about how we do it on the spiritual level, there is where we can perform corrections and these corrections are great and very powerful and contain what regular people cannot do, only we can. So, let’s focus on what we can add to the corrections that the world is trying to do. Precisely through our intentions we can put order in all the corporeal operations in the entire world in such a way that they will be directed, these operations, in the right direction towards connection. Okay?
S. It turns out that we are then working with what is revealed now?
R. Now we are working with all the efforts of all the people in the world that are doing so that their actions will acquire the right intention. That’s it. This is our work.
11. S. (33:50) The correction in the world begins from us right? Do we have to think about this first and not try to guess why problems happen in the world?
R. Yes, of course.
S. Why is there always a desire to distract yourself to look at someone else besides yourself?
R. Well that is on purpose so we can make the corrections from the lowest degrees because all of the corrections begin from the degree of Malchut the lowest level from our ego and then in our egos, first of all we come with our egos and we want to destroy everyone and kill everyone and arrange everything, afterwards we have to position ourselves correctly and think about how we perform the right action and rise from corporeality to spirituality. Where there are both the reason and the result that should be.
S. You give an example many times comparing the relations with the Creator like to a mother. Now it seems like the mother has gone mad, yelling at us and we do not understand what we did wrong.
R. Initially we did not engage in corrections. This is why these corruptions have accumulated and now they are bursting out like an illness that wasn't treated. This is what is happening for years I would even say decades and centuries these corruptions have been within Humanity and here and there they burst out like an illness. Here and there you can see the symptoms of the inner illness and we have to understand, as Baal HaSulam writes, that if it is revealed it is a sign that that corruption was already there and we have to even be happy about these corruptions because it is precisely through these corruptions, when we correct them, that we come to the end of correction.
S. At this point where I'm afraid and I do not know what I'm guilty of and I'm trying to ask Him what I did wrong.
R. You did not do anything wrong. It is the wrong approach. The Creator prepared the shattering, this is why from the very beginning, to begin with, nothing is our fault. We received a broken world with an egoistic force that is in it, controls it and we must only discover it and ask the Creator to correct it because by this I attach myself to the Creator. I have to arrange our thoughts with relation to the Creator correctly. He does everything, not we. We should only, on top of all the problems that are revealed, we need to turn to Him because we understand that He did it and He did it on purpose so that we would turn to Him and demand of Him corrections. This is called my sons have defeated me.
S. It is hard to overcome the offense, the insult.
R. There is war in the corporeal background about which it says that if someone comes to kill you kill them first. That is true because that is on a corporeal level but in a spiritual sense we need to ask of the Creator to make peace between us, peace between all of us. In what way? That is already what he is going to do. So there are two levels of our actions here: on the corporeal level I have to fight, in corporeality we have examples of this from King David. He fought for forty years, all the time he would fight. Alongside that he wrote what we have from His writings which indicates how much of an eruption of love he had towards everyone. That is truly called spiritual work. Here we see practically what the Creator did and how bad is the world that appears between us, and it is not to the full extent yet and we have to correct it with our relation to it.
12. S. (40:29) I just heard from you, I even wrote it down, that the main reason for the wars is that the Creator is showing us that the Kli, the vessel of Adam HaRishon, is broken. Why am I so stupid that the Creator has to show me in this way that the vessel of Adam HaRishon is broken?
R. That's not a question, which is the only way that he could show it to us. There is no other way.
S. How long do I have to understand that the reason for the war is the shattering of Adam HaRishon until all the participants in those events feel it and come to me and ask this question?
R. Try. Try to digest this as quickly as possible but again we are inside creation here. It is not planet Earth or some part of the universe. We don't understand where we truly are, with what we are actually dealing. So take this seriously and most important for us is through your actions we know you. Meaning that we do all the actions of connection and as a result we will discover the essence of creation.
13. S. (42:13) We say that the war, the physical war that is happening, is happening because we did not work enough on connection and it awakens even more hatred between the Nations, the sides fighting each other and that in order to correct the result of this hate, this war, can be done only though connection but this hate, it throws the nations even further from each other. Why is the Creator making our work more difficult? Because to correct this huge hatred as a result of this war through the connection in the tens and the world Kli, is becoming even more difficult. Why is the Creator making our work more difficult?
R. The Creator doesn't make our work more difficult, rather he is giving us work according to our ability to do it, according to our progress. It is like in our life, the more you advance in some work the more important tasks you are given according to the level of professionalism that you are at and then accordingly also is your salary and so forth. So there is no question here with regards to the Creator. We have to correct what is already in creation and all of it opens up to us to the extent that we are capable, to the extent that we are organized based on each and every one's root of the soul. In each and every one of us there is an inner desire through which he is connected to others and he has to correct his connection to others, and everyone in doing this work of connecting to all the other souls, he has to connect all of the desires from his perspective and he has to be towards the Creator a representative of all the souls, all the vessel of Adam HaRishon and that applies to each and every one and that is how we achieve corrections. Each and every one achieves his correction so by that one corrects his root in Adam HaRishon.
.
S. So if it turns out that we did not perform the correction on the spiritual level and this question became a war on the physical level.
R. No, no, no, that is not correct. It’s not that we made a mistake, we haven't done this or that. It is not correct; it is not right. We can’t make these calculations. It is not correct, that is not right. We do everything we can, we try to do what we can and about this it says every day is new to you. Meaning you can’t really make calculations based on yesterday: we haven’t done this so now we are not getting that, that is incorrect. You each time must acquire a new attitude. This is what I am facing, this is what I'm doing. Every day shall be new in your eyes.
S. What is this ability that is revealed to us now that you said that through this war the Creator is emphasizing that we can correct the shattering. What is this ability that is revealed in us now that the Creator gives a war on the physical level?
R. That is because we are advancing because the Creator keeps shining new and different lights on us and by these lights we become corrected, and we connect more and become more interdependent and then the feuds appear on a level that is unlike it was before. It is not because we made mistakes it is because the light shines on us to a greater extent and then we discover how disconnected we are and before it seemed as though we were connected so we have not seen what was so strongly standing between us. The depths of the shattering are becoming increasingly revealed and that puts us in new wars and new conflicts and what we did not correct before we could not correct. It was not clear at all. We just lived the way we lived. Now something appeared that we cannot stay calm towards. That is always the case the Creator adds light from above and that light clarifies. It is like when you turn on a light bulb and then you turn the light stronger and stronger and then you can see, this is dirty, this is broken and so one. You can see. The light clarifies the vessels: the deficiencies.
S. You said we have advanced to the point that their Creator revealed to us the shattering on the physical level but if we interpret these words directly we might understand that the more we advance in spirituality the worse corporeal states the Creator gives us?
R. Not necessarily, not necessity. That is not true. Well the fact that spiritual and corporeal troubles arise and whether there is a connection between them we will have to learn that it is not so simple, but we see we've read, heard what the Creator said. That if we come to the revelations that are before the final correction that means the war of Armageddon, Gog and Magog, the wars of the Messiah, there we are talking about huge troubles, plights that appear but these troubles will already happen with us having the right inner weapon for each of us and all of us together to fight these troubles. I hope that we will go through these wars in a correct way and part of them we are already present in. Part of the wars of the final correction, the wars of the Messiah, we are already there. So let’s hope that we will go through them quickly and spiritually and thus move into the illuminated world.
14. S. (50:24) You teach us the entries and the exits are all holy and come from the Creator. I’m very troubled by the question: when the light exits, is it an opportunity? Is there a way to bring contentment to the Creator when it exists?
R. If a person tries to always be connected with the group and through that receive the light that performs and each time connect stronger and stronger and if you try, as a result of that, to aim at the Creator then you work correctly. There's no more to add here. All the rest think about it more and you will understand it better.
15. S. (51:35) At the end of this article he says, hence after the redemption the Creator is called lord of hosts. What is he referring to, hosts? Lord of hosts?
R. I’m not sure. Where does it say?
Reader: At the end of excerpt number two it is written: The Creator does everything. Hence, after the redemption, the Creator is called “Lord of Hosts.” He is asking what does this sentence mean, what is Hosts?
R. Tzevaot, or hosts, means that in all the exits and in all the returns the ins-and-outs the Creator does it all and we were just present there so that he builds the correct vessel for us for the final correction. This is called that the Creator is actually the King of war or the hero of the war or the instigator of the war. He did it all, he made it all happen so that we will get an impression from all those ins and outs, all these entries and exits and from that we will achieve such an impression, such a sensation of this concept called Tzevaot, that comes from the words Tze and Ba, come in and come out, and from that we can understand all of creation, all of those detailed pieces of creation within us can come together and then we can understand this whole construction.
16. S. (53:49) A question concerning the prayer, when we build a prayer as a ten we ask Him to give us the power of connection, bestowal, love, but in the examples of Psalms by King David it is as if he doesn't shy away from complaining to the Creator. You left us; you broke us. How important is it to say that we do not feel that the Creator is with us?
R. I already mentioned today that King David is really the man-of-war, the man of Yesod because as long as he was a King for 40 years he would fight. The Creator setup great corrections for him to do during his Kingdom so that is essentially what he expressed in his Psalms but what do we see him saying in Psalms? He is always blessing, he is always praying, he is always expressing his love towards the Creator but he himself is actually suffering huge problems and troubles. That is why Psalms received such a shape and familiarity of all the people in the world, they include the whole relationship from Malchut to Keter, from the common man, all of humanity, David refers to the whole attitude of Malchut towards the Creator. It is worthwhile to read here and there and see what we can take from it, what we can be impressed by and somehow relate to it.
S. There is a feeling that we are going through states, but we are afraid to say in our prayers that the Creator is leaving us, like David, he was not embarrassed to do it. Is it something we should do or something that is obvious that the Creator feels our problems?
R. Look, it is worthwhile for us to read psalms and absorb a little bit from what David wrote. Even though it was written thousands of years ago it is still relevant to all times.
S. In Psalms besides David thanking the Creator and praising Him there are many states in Psalms.
R. Like why have you left us?
S. Exactly so can we also complain to the Creator, or can only King David do it?
R. Of course it’s permitted. King David is just the collective Malchut, the collective Malchut of all of Adam HaRishon so he expresses all of that relationship between Malchut and Keter. That is why we can take anything there and relate it to ourselves. That's why I'm saying all over the world this Psalms is so common, so popular, because it includes the whole relationship of Malchut from Keter. It is really like light without a vessel.
17. S. (58:39) I wanted to express great gratitude to the friends from all over the world for supporting us ,actively, so much. You can't imagine how much it helps and also you Rav thank you very much. The current state especially at night, it's a lot like the expression we learned in Kabbalah that there is no Torah, no learning, without bread. There is this feeling of fear, a feeling of absence of safety, security, confidence, there's this hunger of the egoism and I think perhaps many friends are feeling it now in Ukraine. I just wanted to ask you, maybe you can recommend how to deal with this hunger of our ego so as to nevertheless engage in Torah?
R. There is only one action that can help and it's really a correct action and action of correction. That you will feel that you are together with all the friends and knocking at the Creator, clinging to the Creator. Adhesion to the Creator is what we need and that's what he expects to happen and that's why he awakened such states within us. That's why he awakens these states within us. I'm telling you also that here in Israel we feel these things quite often being under rocket fire and bombs that fall on you from the skies. You can't say anywhere that you're completely safe about what will happen to you in a moment including your family, your kids, we understand you and so we all need to pray together but to pray for coming closer to the Creator and that is the most secure place, the most correct place and don't forget on the other hand that the Creator awakens all of these states so that we return to Him.
Excerpt 3: (01:01:48)
18. R. (01:02:19) Well that's what we always learn. That the foundation, the root, and matter of all creation is the will to receive and therefore our whole work is how to arrange the will to receive so even though it's opposite to the Creator's will to bestow it will be shaped similarly to the Creator. Like the Creator. The will to receive that takes on the shape of bestowal is called Adam from the word Domeh, similar to the Creator.
19. S. (01:02:52) What does it mean to go through the war in a spiritual sense?
R. To go through war in the spiritual world means to format oneself, to shape oneself in a way that you are similar to the Creator, and it all happens only through wars. There are such wars that ordinary people don't feel but a person who's in the spiritual process, he always feels himself at war. This is what we have to understand and feel and get used to, that's our constant work until we correct ourselves completely and then in the final correction we will feel that we are adhered to the Creator and in a constant way, above all the worlds, which means above all concealments and thus we come to the complete adhesion. That is the goal of our development and specifically through such states, these wars, we come to that.
20. S. (01:04:35) What should be our main action in this war situation so that we can advance in the way of Shechina?
R. Connection between us and from our connection prayer to the Creator. That is the action. Each and every ten must be connected and each and every one in the ten must feel that he connects everyone and elevates everyone to the Creator by the deficiency.
Excerpt 4: (01:05:22)
21. R. (01:06:17) Until we all connect together with intentions, desires, and action, as much as we can together.
Excerpt 5: (01:06:32)
Excerpt 6: (01:07:05)
22. S. (01:08:28) I feel like these last few lessons, these last few days you've told us exactly what it is that we have to do, what kind of prayer is left for us to do and that's the only thing that we can do and at the same time I just feel, for this time for right now, it's too late. At the same time that I say it's too late I feel totally ignorant to be saying that so I'm in a really weird place that I'm feeling, I know I'm mixing the spiritual and the corporeal, but I can't help it.
R. This will pass, it will pass, you will rethink this, you'll think about it differently and you'll absorb this better. A person can't make any final calculation in his state. He needs to make calculations just to learn that it takes him to new calculations, new scrutinies, and that's how it evolves but to think that, yes that's it, I'm finally right and I decide, and I know, that's never the case, you're not in the final correction yet. Even if you think that you're in the final correction, let's say you'll discover that it's not there yet. So we are all on the path and there's still more to do and there's no complete connection between us yet, and complete revelation of the Creator in our Kli so we still need to wait.
23. S. (01:10:51) What's happening now, does it depend on us, on Bnei Baruch, on the work we're doing, or does it depend on the Creator, and he is giving us a sign of the direction he wants to give us?
R. Everything depends on the Creator, and everything depends on man. To the extent that man awakens the Creator to make the action of correction. If one cannot awaken the Creator to make a correction, each and every person that is, then the Creator has to add a bit more problems, troubles to awaken the person to ask, to connect. Through his request to the other human beings and that's how it works. But everything ends with all of us connecting and demanding the Creator to correct us. Until we ask correctly we will have problems, plights, and that's the way the Creator awakens us, He only has one way. If we don't do it correctly by increasing and preceding the remedy to the blow, that we ask for it in advance, then he awakens us to ask. He doesn't have any other means, only to make us feel pain so that we ask for more correct things.
24. S. (01:12:55) In all the books we read there is a power. How do we make it the most pertinent?
R. That's what we try.
25. S. (01:13:22) In this excerpt, Rabash talks about peace and the Creator. Should we come to that state, what is it exactly about?
R. Read it a few times and then we will see.
26. S. (01:14:06) In these ins-and-outs that the Creator gives us, how is the state of connection in the ten different from another state in the ten?
R. The main thing is the connection that's what the Creator demands from us, that we connect to the same Kli of Adam HaRishon. So all the other states outside of connection are uninteresting to us. We only have to see what hinders our connection right now, what stands in front of us. That's what we need to do.
27. S. (01:14:59) Is agreeing, is that peace?
R. Agreeing it depends on between whom and what about.
S. On everything and anything.
R. Complete agreement?
S. Yes, total
R. Total agreement that means peace and peace comes from the word Shlemut, Shalom comes from Shlemut which is wholeness.
28. S. (01:15:36) What is the spiritual root of war? We see this in our body there is a constant struggle.
R. War is a natural condition until all of the evil inclination until our entire ego is corrected on all levels, both in our corporeal body and in the connections between us, between people, between countries and in general between us and the forces of nature and between all of us and the Creator, there's all kinds of state of war and this state, this condition, helps us better scrutinize what else is it that we need to correct. All in all we are under this mountain of collisions, wars, problems, and we feel it only according to our spiritual development the measure to which we really have a problem, so we need to awaken the upper light as much as possible for it to work on us and give us a feeling of where do we still have disputes, problems, and ask of the upper light to correct us. This way we will reach the general correction, but war is until the end of correction, including the really final corrections, this is the condition, the state of the world, therefore we should arrange ourselves so that we can turn to the Creator and ask him to turn war into peace on all, on whichever level it becomes revealed on, the war itself, this is our work. He who makes peace in the heavens, he makes peace upon us. We have no other way to win the war in all aspects: the inner wars within a person, outside of him, between countries, but only to turn to the Creator. That's the only way and therefore the more we turn to Him the quicker we reach peace, Shalom in Hebrew from the word Hashlama, completion wholeness and perfection and that's how it's always going to be if we will draw the force of the Creator that connects the ends and it's the same with this war. It's not a war between Russia and Ukraine, it is a war of half the world against the other half. It is very, very serious and it’s very interesting the way in which the Creator eventually, through us, will correct the situation. Like we can see from the writings of Baal HaSulam that there could be a third and fourth nuclear world war. Let's hope that we will correct things and there will be wholeness and completion without needing to reach these disputes.
29. S. (01:19:18) what to do with the burden in the ten that appears in such a period, usually we can wake ourselves up but now we're in indifference. Why has that happened now especially when we need to be in attack?
R. This is the difference between mind and the heart, and it’s good that we are discovering that even though the states themselves are so serious, the situations are so serious but still we are not awakening towards it. It just shows us where the ego sits and what we are capable of doing, let's take a break.
30. S. (01:23:15) We are asking for the Creator for peace and love to cover all crimes, but I feel inside a voice that tells me it's impossible, that people will never reach that, this voice doesn't believe in the Creator and its power to change it, maybe because of that the prayer won't work? How can I change this and raise a prayer that he does want to hear?
R. It's one hundred percent certain that the prayer is not working because we are unconnected with each other, especially women because they're actually the internality of the world. And, therefore what I'm asking is to try to connect with each other and in your common hearts that's above all the differences, all the hate, all the so-called crimes above all that to turn into the Creator from one heart. This is actually what will give us a victory, a victory in terms of the good inclination defeating the evil inclination on all levels.
31. S. (01:24:50) Is the Creator ruining the feeling of Himself in us, should we connect our sensations to the Creator is that the connection between us?
R. Our connection is a result of us rising above everything that exists in each and every one of us. I'm not taking anything into account in regard to others, who is right, who's not, why do we have these or those qualities, the difference is between us, just leave it all alone and let it all be. This is just as if the Creator awakens in each and every one of us and in order for us to be in dispute. He's the one disputing us, He's the one making the war, we only need to ask Him to be able to rise above all these states to a spiritual level where we are and the force of bestowal. The force of bestowal is the force of connection, the force of love but we're not taking into account who's right, who's wrong or who's doing what, no, it's all the Creator turning us on. He is the one that is awakening us and therefore we need to understand that the evil inclination was created by Him as well and he's doing everything in order for us to demand of Him to rise and to elevate the force of good and these two forces of good and evil need to be one above the other and then really there will be a whole and perfect state. Where the evil subordinates to the good, yields to the good, surrenders to the good and in this way we reach a state where they complete one another; there is no good without bad and no bad without good. It's written in many places, so it is not something new for any of you.
32. S. (01:27:05) Who are we fighting against, the Creator?
R. We're fighting against our own foolishness, stupidity. That we, in mind and heart are still deaf, foolish, not being able to understand and arrange the correct picture for ourselves that everything comes from the Creator and He is as if disputing us, giving each of us this spirit of foolishness, of pride, of ego but this is what we need to rise above, and when we asked Him to raise us above it by that we begin to see the true, real, whole and complete world. That's how we will advance toward the truth, otherwise we will not have the ability to come out of this entanglement and the wars will become ever greater and there will come more and more complicated plagues. The world is on the verge of a very unpleasant situation if we will not learn how to correctly relate to it. That, all these are forces of the Creator that by that forces us to look at the world correctly. That He is the source for these two forces of good and evil so that we will ask Him to rise from the bad to the good state, meaning that love covers for all crimes. The crimes don't disappear, the problems, the wars; but only we cover them with a Sukkah of Peace, we cover them with completion and wholeness.
33. S. (01:29:11) How to deal with the contradicting feeling that we feel in these states that on one hand we see a blessing and a revelation of evil and the means to correct ourselves and on the other hand there is sorrow and sadness?
R. If we attribute everything to the Creator who is good and benevolent to the good and the bad, to the good and evil. In general there is no good or evil but it's all for our scrutiny in order for us to be able to scrutinize His uniqueness, the uniqueness of the Creator in the world, then we will reach a common consent. Don't look at the bodies, don't look at people, look at the general situation and the connection between them called the soul, Neshama.
34. S. (01:30:11) On one hand we hear that we're not guilty of anything that's happening and on the other hand it says that all evil comes because of Israel so it seems contradicting. Can you explain it?
R. There is no contradiction. That which is revealed in the world is the lack of correction. The luck of correction is revealed because those that belong to the correction of the world disregard it, aren't performing the corrections in the right time, and therefore Israel meaning those that by nature are directed Yashar El, meaning straight at the Creator. Today it's no longer those people, like in the past that these are Jews. Today it’s not Jews, today it's those that say about them “that their hearts are concerned” that they are directed towards the Creator; that the Creator pulls them to Himself. So, those people who do not perform the desire for the Creator has instilled in them, they are truly transgressing. Therefore all of us, first of all Bnei Baruch and globally, we need to see ourselves as the reason for which the world is still having it bad, that's how it is. So, let's try to better connect and turn to the Creator in order for Him to correct the world through us.
35. S. (01:31:57) I heard in the lesson that the Creator is giving us work, corrections according to the root of our soul, and it seems that if we can locate the root of the soul in every individual in every ten, the precise place the work will be revealed. How can we find the root of our soul?
R. How to reveal the root of the soul? only by connecting, there you have the root of the soul in the center of our connection we will discover the root of the soul. Suppose each and every person is all in all one of a ten, he wants to reach the root of the soul, please; soul means the light which is received in the Partzuf and if we connect with one another in a general annulment toward each other, in mutual completion and supplementation with one another then, in this way with the help of the upper light that shines on us, we build a Kli, a Partzuf and then the inner light that's revealed in the Partzuf is the revelation of the Creator to the created beings, and the created beings it's not one person but it's a ten, a group. Even two are already a group, by annulling towards each other they can already start feeling spirituality to some extent.
36. S. (01:33:38) Why is humanity yearning for peace, because what's the meaning if we go from one world to the next?
R. Because by that we don't correct our hate which is the form of the evil inclination that's revealed and therefore what's the use that will be in hate all the time and lack of peace, shalom in Hebrew that comes from the word Shlemut, means wholeness, perfection. Wholeness and perfection, Shlemut is the quality of the Creator and if we don't head toward then we will never ascend spiritually, we will remain on the beastly level.
37. S. (01:34:25) How do we know if one correction has ended and the next one has started?
R. In the meantime we can't exactly see that. Usually it is seeing when we finish using one desire we correct it, fulfill it, connect through it, and then get a descent to a new desire.
38. S. (01:34:56) It seems the first two excerpts are directing us to the process of leaving the evil inclination. What is this process of coming out of Egypt?
R. We're in this process where the nation of Israel needs to connect with each other and then they come out of Egypt. That in the meantime they're connecting because of the problems, the troubles, the force of Pharaoh as it says that “Pharaoh brought the children of Israel closer to their father in Heaven”. That’s what's revealed in the meantime, that we are running, connecting, and trying to escape evil. But soon when will rise above the evil in our connection then as a result of our growing connection we will start feeling ourselves outside of Egypt. Mitzrayim, Egypt comes from the word Mitz Ra, meaning the concentration of evil; so we will already come out of it and start advancing towards the good, towards that force that will push and pull us forward to the Creator.
39. S. (01:36:20) What does it mean that we’re in the wars of the Messiah?
R. We're already under the force called Messiah, which pulls us from our ego that we will rise above it and once we connect with each other more and more then we will feel this force called the Messiah, in Hebrew means pulling; that pulls us in a clearer and clearer fashion.
40. S. (01:36:56) You said that the Psalms show the general relation between Malchut and Keter. When we read it there's a lot of complaining about other forces like requests to destroy our enemies. How do we understand Psalms correctly and how to ask for the right things when we read it?
R. Psalms were written by King David and King David is the general Malchut; it is a very high exalted soul that comes from the Malchut to the Keter and therefore he wrote about the relations between the Malchut, the created being and the Keter, which is the Creator. He described the relations between them in this way and therefore when we read Psalms to the measure to which you can understand it, and you can read it in any language, it's something that's common in all languages for all religions, all nations; so by that we can seriously draw the force of the Creator closer to us and this is something that I really recommended for women. You can open it wherever and read a bit. We probably also have it in all languages.
41. S. (01:38:49) Reader repeating the last question for clarification: In Psalms we have King David that turns to the Creator and there are David’s enemies. David turns to the Creator with a request that He destroy his enemies.
R. Of course.
S. So what about us?
R. What do you mean about us? But these are his inner enemies. Man’s inner enemies. Regardless of whatever you destroy or whoever you destroy outside of yourself it seems to us in our egoistic force that we can end everything with that, and nothing will end, and in the next round more and more enemies will come to nonetheless wipe us out. We need to see this world as a theater, like a stage on which the entire process of creation is taking place and therefore it will not help us to fight by sword or nuclear bombs, it won't help us. By that we will not destroy anyone either, because our world is merely a copy of spirituality, understand? and anyone who gets up and wants to destroy the other and to show that the other he is wrong, he does nothing by it; by it he does not perform any positive action. But only through connection that all of us rise above our ego, only this way can we really succeed. Your success is that you do not leave an enemy and it's not by killing him physically but by reaching a mutual consent together with him about, what does it mean to be together? It's not by one wanting to rule over the other, control won’t help anything; pride, ego, all these things won't help at all, by that we will never stop wars, troubles, or problems, it simply won't happen. Therefore only through mutual annulment of nations toward each other; that I do this towards them, and they do the same towards me and everyone else. Only this way can we reach a connection, that we subjugate ourselves and then we can connect. Then it will really be to the benefit of everyone. Therefore now, they want to have some talks or something and we need to understand what kind of talks they can do. That each side wants to convince the other, who's right and who's not. Of course they can't bring any peace, Shalom from the word Shlemut, wholeness and perfection. Therefore we have no other choice but to bring into the world more and more forces of completion, connection, a force of good.
42. S. (01:42:30) When women read Psalms it is on the account of Rabash and Baal HaSulam reading or in addition?
R. Reading Psalms is something very common in the world, widespread. I think that any woman can read something from Psalms and the more the better, if you have a free moment open this booklet or on your computer or your mobile, wherever you have it. We need to check if we have a kind of application that you can download to any device? Really so it will be easy. When I have time I will look it up on my mobile and I have it there so that it will be convenient.
S. Also about this, if I understand, they’re asking: Each woman when they have personal time to read Psalm, understood. When they have general assemblies and these days women have a lot and in the tens and all, they usually read Rabash and Baal HaSulam. The question is now when you recommend reading Psalms, should this come on the account of the other reading? How to balance them?
R. To add, at least two add to it. If it's to the point because Rabash and Baal HaSulam’s articles can be long and can take a person on a long trip whereas Psalms is something that directly reaches the heart. I recommend and especially for women to be more connected, tied to Psalms. It is very deep, Baal HaSulam used to say about Psalms that it is a light without a Kli, without a vessel, it is truly so.
S. Usually when the women don't read a whole article. They just read a few bits that were chosen.
R. Okay. They should choose for themselves what's better but nonetheless add a passage from Psalms to awaken the heart, which is always good.
43. S. (01:45:30) We raise a prayer daily and we're expecting the war to end, doesn't our expectation ruin the prayer?
R. No. We don't need to praise the war that awakens us to prayer. We want to come to a prayer without war. We ourselves need to disclose the evil between us without any wars or corporeal disputes, and then to immediately ask for a correction over that revelation. That is the good state.
44. S. (01:46:16) What should be the key to our message at this time in our dissemination?
R. Our message needs to be that: Through our connection we can draw such a big light that “He will bring peace upon us”, upon the entire world. We are capable of it. We need to be certain that we are doing it, and that we know how to do it, that we're capable. So let's try, that's the main thing. Meaning we need to try to get closer to the Creator, to demand it of Him, as much as possible for Him to be close to us and shine the light of peace upon us. We don't have much time left.
45. S. (01:48:20) On one hand we learn that we have to obligate the Creator to fill our Kli through the connection, on the other hand we know that we are advancing gradually. So, what is that limit that we need to reach to force the Creator to combine these two forces, that we obligate Him, and He answers so that humanity advances?
R. We want the Creator to give us an opportunity to bestow to Him, that we will be bestowing correctly and by that He will cause wholeness and perfection to the whole world Kli and be able to be revealed in them and enjoy His created beings. That is actually our plea. Eventually we want Him to get joy by us becoming the corrected vessel for His revelation; that's the form of joy that we can give Him.
46. S. (01:49:55) Are we supposed to feel awe, in fear that we're not reaching it or are we supposed to feel completely confident about our connection? Which should be our approach?
R. One doesn't cancel the other. Obviously, we need to have spiritual fear that the Creator will answer us. with fear of asking for Him correctly, without this we can’t organize our Kli correctly. On the other hand we need to have confidence that if we turn to Him, He understands us, He hears us, no matter which way we turn to Him; and that He we'll organize this prayer in such a way that He can answer.
47. S. (01:50:50) In the current state it turns out that we need to feel the sorrow of divinity. What does it mean that the Shechina is suffering?
R. Shechina is the sum of all souls in Adam HaRishon that still cannot include the Creator in the true revealed open way. That's why this common collective still suffers, and us too, all-in-all we're suffering. There are times that we suffer more, there are times that we suffer less, and we are advancing to a Gmar Tikkun, the end of correction and we need to advance in a good way or in not such a good way. So, let's hope that we advance in a good way. We have to discover the lack of connection between us on the advancing degrees and that's a very big problem that can even be like Baal HaSulam writes, a World War, the third or fourth, nuclear wars. We can do it by the revelation of evil in a simple way, not by suffering but by the light that reforms.
48. S. (01:52:26) In excerpt number six, there's kind of a contradiction in how to reach peace and a covenant with the Creator if a person is constantly…?
R. You have to organize everything and present it to the Creator even if you don't understand it correctly. Start asking Him, turn to Him and raise a request to Him until it gets clarified. You have to see him as a partner, a teacher, a friend, everything you have to see in the Creator. Then in the connection with Him you'll have to scrutinize everything you're lacking.
49. S. (01:53:22) It felt from what you emphasized today that there is no one to blame for the dispute, it’s like the war is an engine pushing humanity towards connection.
R. My goal, from day to day, is to raise our world group to a truer state, that’s a bit distant from the corporeal feeling and closer to our spiritual feeling, to our roots. And, gradually I try to do it because if you do it at once, it won't be absorbed in our feelings, desires, in our minds.
S. So we need to really try and permeate?
R. Yes, through such examples we see in the world. Through the connections between us and the friends; through these discussions we need more and more to enter our inner engine of nature, to see how we organize ourselves in there, that we feel we are included in there and how it's working on us. That's what we actually need to do.
S. So, if we do not look at the bodies but only the Kli of Adam HaRishon, the dispute, the friction that's the Aviut of the Kli that’s revealed?
R. Yes, of course.
S. And, our efforts to make a correction is the Masach that we need to fix over the Aviut that is the revealed all the time?
R. Yes. Our efforts eventually take some part of Adam HaRishon, some slice, and make of it something that resembles the connection, which resembles the Creator, to raise MAN from it; to organize it in a way that it can receive the form of a Partzuf. That it will be a corrected part of the general soul.
S. If we make the effort on time when the Aviut is revealed, can we feel the dispute in this world like a small sting instead of an extensive war?
R. Yes, of course, even a little sting but even less. We can jump over many actions on the way by engaging in connections, “love will cover all crimes” we can skip over these crimes.
S. But the feeling of separation needs to appear at least…
R. Yes, everywhere. First revealing the evil. But what happened, that's enough, we don't need more than that. I didn't think that it was going to take so long but I guess the correction has to go a lot deeper and be more actual. We see how the Creator is making a fundamental action here, by this He is changing all relationships in the entire world, between east and west and these and those countries, and everything. He changes people's attitudes toward creation. We will see how the world will start recuperating a bit; It still didn't descend to the lowest state but when they start recuperating we will start seeing how much it changed. It will never come back to being the same form it was, even though people think that soon we're coming back.
S. Actually there are no more local blows, it’s all global?
R. Yes, yes, of course. We are a global world already. This pandemic that we went through it's also a sign that we are global. It's a good state. It's a nice state. We are in the advanced state of correcting the souls.
50. S. (01:58:58) Can we say that the connection needs to be external, and the prayer should be internal?
R. Yes.
S. So what happens when in the externality, we reveal separation, how is that in relation to the previous state?
R. We'll learn that we don't see it yet, that it's like when we see the cascading of the Partzufim from Galgalta to AB to SAG. How a new coarseness is being revealed and new lights. This is also when the previous state, when it departs and the next state comes instead of it, we just do it in ascent from below upward and increase in corrections. That's why every next state has a greater coarseness and the light that is revealed in it should also be greater. Meaning more understanding, more feeling and so on. We are in that same order of Partzufim that are being corrected.
S. In our state where we say that we feel the separation on the inside, but we always need to keep the connection, awaken the friends, do what Rabash tells us to. But then when the separation is revealed externally. What do we do then?
R. That’s not clear yet, what to do when the separation is revealed? We have to awaken ourselves to connection.
S. External connection?
R. Also to the external connection.
S. Rabash writes that there is nothing to give but prayer.
R. Okay but that is also a means to connect. Everything has to end with connection.
51. S. (02:01:34) The women they're meeting already three days in a row more than 1,200 women for a common prayer. The question is what can they add today in order to open their heart even more in order to deepen the prayer?
R. I cannot say. I think we have to add these excerpts that they just gathered for us by our friends that we just started reading and let them read Psalms. Let them read Psalms. That is good and if there will be any questions on reading Psalms I am willing to answer. That is something very important.
S. This is what they read but in terms of their attitude, how do they approach it?
R. In the right relations and connection, if they read it together it helps, it connects people, people in the world. It is a custom that you read Psalms when a person is sick and there is trouble, it really helps, and it really is that way because by that we draw the light that reforms.
52. S. (02:03:12) Thank you Rav, it says in excerpt number five that he who fights, he who tries to take the path of faith, is the man of advice. What is the advice that he talks about?
R. If he sees that he can add something in connection, he does.
53. S. (02:03:39) About the war on the spiritual level and the correction on the spiritual level. There is one force in me that loves the ten, wants to connect with them and the other force hates the ten and wants to burn them. Now the correction is that for one force to win and for the other one to disappear or for both forces to connect?
R. Exactly, that the forces connect.
S. But they are complete opposites.
R. That is the correction, that we don't erase any force, we bring it for the good. All the evil is brought to the good.
54. S. (02:04:30) How to read Psalms with the common heart in the ten and ascend from the Malchut to the Keter in the ten?
R. Incorporate in what is written in the Psalms and I am happy he is asking and I'm wishing him all the best and that is how we keep going. We will keep being together, try to pray to the Creator and understand that our prayer is not just a prayer, by this we are awakening the light that reforms. Meaning that we want the upper force to give us the force of bestowal that we can connect to Him, come close to Him, to connect between us and ourselves become, including the upper light, that the Creator will be revealed between us and we ourselves will be the source of the light.
55. S. (02:05:52) How to relate to states where your sympathy disappears?
R. We have to do all kinds of external actions. This is what the Creator also does. He has all kinds of causes and opportunities that through them we will return to spiritual actions.
56. S. (02:06:25) I don't want to ask anything bad; I hope. The people of Israel they suffered too, they were in bomb shelters etc. Then the nations of the world that are suffering in such quantities and the Creator he kind of prepared this kind of trap and many countries are starting to unite around us. The question is how not to lose such an important part?
R. It is not a simple question. The nation of Israel is an external cause for the correction of the world, the nations of the world, when they start gathering they become an even more internal part than the nation of Israel because the nation of Israel is like a reason like a cause for connection of the world. That's why here we see that even though all nations are uniting and gathering around the people of Israel, eventually they are the center of connection that needs to happen but again, their connection is revealed as much as they bestow, if they influence Israel and Israel them. We will feel it on ourselves, on our flesh because Israel today is us, the ones yearning for the Creator and not the nation of Israel in externality that is living in the country of Israel. So there are things that we always get confused about for now, but it will soon be clarified. The main thing for us is to speak about the connection and to yearn for it and to realize it. In the end this connection will bring everything that belongs, to the internal Israel, the connection between everyone. We need to feel ourselves as the center of this sphere and that this sphere is the soul of Adam HaRishon. It is the spiritual part in each and every one that connects into such a spiritual part of everybody, and this is what we have to resurrect.
57. S. (02:09:37) This is a conflict that exists in each and every one of us. How can we find it, examine it correctly inside ourselves and ask for its correction?
R. Man needs to look at himself on the side. If he wants to see at least somewhat who he is and what is happening to him. To see from the side, we say it nicely right? Each one hears it, many times, that we don't see ourselves from the side. To see ourselves from the side practically means that only when I incorporate with society then I start feeling in the feeling of society who I really am, what I seem like from the side and that for us is the main part and I can check myself, I can see myself, can ask for correction upon myself, only under the condition as much as I am connected to the society and from this I get an impression of myself. That is actually what is happening. That is why I recommend, also practically, for all sides in this conflict Russians, Ukrainians to see themselves from the side. Not to remain inside yourself who is right who's not but to see themselves on this side, how they appear from the side. Then, in somewhat, you might be able to understand the other side and the main thing in this is to lower the pride. Which is actually destroying everything.
58. S. (02:12:10) Before the pandemic even began you said that we are going to see difficult situations in the world and then it started and you said don't stop asking Him, turning to the Creator, so the Creator sends us a remedy or a means by which to correct the entire world and that's how we accepted it even though that a friend of ours, from our ten, died as a result, and other people, and you said that nonetheless other things will happen too and now there's this war. Something that you have talked about as well. We are ready to do what you have said but the question is, how does a Kabbalist add? There're wars, disasters, hunger is expected. Everything that came from above, isn't it enough already? How can a Kabbalist hold himself focused so that even if the external conditions calm down that he stays in demand that he stays with his demand?
R. Whenever we want a child to not run away from us, so he won't go far right and go into a dangerous situation. So we scare him and then he comes, and we take him in our hands, and he grabs onto us, and he won't let go. Same thing, we have to understand, this is what the Creator does. If we are not adhered to him in the way we should be, after a few actions he will still need to bring judgments upon us, we have to go through difficult states in order for us to stabilize a bit and feel how we have to be aimed towards him. That's why as much as we connect ourselves together between us and from us to the Creator by this we will be able to annul all the difficult judgments there are, and it’s desired that we do it, that each one calculates on himself and every side of the war on itself. In what they are, can they still correct themselves? The main thing is working with pride to stop being proud. There's nothing to be proud about. It is the biggest evil force in man. That he is proud, about what? So if we fight against pride we will succeed in overcoming our ego and very quickly discover the world in its true way. Our ego is concealing the ability to see the true world from us.
S. Fighting our pride, so we are supposed to do it when we wake up or when the ten meets or when?
R. Throughout the whole day, all day. Constantly, all the time try and have inside someone who is checking, a policeman that will be inside and you constantly have this criticism. You are an expert for yourself.
60. S. (02:16:58) Questions about Psalms. It is common to read specific psalms for specific states, should we choose?
R. Whatever they feel is right for them, let them do it. Better than they choose it themselves a small part, maybe even a few lines and no more. You do not have to read a whole text. What is close to the heart.
61. S. (02:17:37) Reading Psalms is something that common people do and it kind of rejects me. How do I relate correctly to our common reading of the Psalms, making it spiritual?
R. Look, people also read the Torah and they pray and everything. Each and every one according to what they understand. I can take books and see sanctity, spirituality, ability ascend with it or just read it like a donkey.
S. How to actually be inspired by the Psalms and change my attitude toward them?
R. So you speak about it. You try to scrutinize what is written there. Psalms, Baal HaSulam used to say about Psalms, that it is light without a vessel, it's just like that. It's light before it was clothed in the vessel, to such an extent it is something exalted. So don't disregard it and look at the masses but the way we can connect to the expressions of King David. It symbolizes the corrected Malchut.
62. S. (02:19:22) The feeling is that we have reached the finish line of the last correction of the world and the world will never be the same again. What should we talk to people about now in our dissemination in general?
R. We have to keep going in our dissemination as usual because everything we are speaking about are above all these small changes the world is going through and we, by this, don't really have a problem. We do not have to change anything. Our dissemination remains the same. That is why there is nothing new to do here, just keep doing it. The main part of the work and the change has to be between us. The more we connect and the more we are concerned about the whole world then we can change the world. We can change the world in such a reality that the world won't need dramatic corrections, sharp ones.
Excerpt # 7 twice (02:20:50)
63. R. (02:23:35) From day-to-day we are rewarded with more friends connecting to us and also today we have a big addition of connections to us. It makes us very happy because by this we get an additional force and by these forces we bestow to the Creator, which will shine more, that will help more, so let's hope that by this we will be rewarded with changes for the good from day-to-day, internal and let's hope that soon we will feel these changes externally too because it's not possible that it won't also take place externally. Let's be confident in our prayer and in our connection in each and every moment throughout the day. That we will be rewarded with great Mercy that the bestowal of the Creator will be revealed in a good, nice way to all the created beings and bring us closer to Gmar Tikkun with his work, with our prayer and we will reach his revelation quickly in our days, Amen.
64. S. (02:25:18) We have technical problem for several days we're willing to say that our ten is very sad our hearts are broken hearts with Kiev, and I want to ask you we learned that there is no time space or motion in spirituality so what is there in the six millennia that we have all these twists that there is correction there if there is no time space or motion how come there's six millennia all together?
R. I don't know, all the time we are speaking about the states, and we have to go through the states as much as we can as quickly as we can towards the corrections. That is called speeding up the times.
S. There is also the seventh millennia?
R. These 7000 are all good and then we rise to the 8th, 9th, and 10th.
S. What is a kind of preparation for the seventh millennia?
R. Yes, of course, there are more degrees, every degree we go through is a preparation for the next one, anyway it will be good. The main thing is we understand that all the evil we can turn it into good by the connection between us.
S. So what are you saying that this nuclear phase is nonsense?
R. It's not nonsense, Baal HaSulam says there could be a nuclear war. Why are you saying it's nonsense?
S. So what do we have as a result of all our work we did?
R. With our work we have to be confident that we can turn it into zero.S. If so then what do you feel is going to happen?
R. I feel that if you do good work it will not happen.
S. Are we doing good work?
R. Ask yourself, I don't have what to say. It all depends on each one of us. We have not finished anything yet. Everyone, have a good day, stay strong so that we will be able to connect and discover the connection between us. In the connection we have direction towards the Creator that will correct this in order to illuminate his upper lights on us.
