Concealment - Selected Excerpts from the Sourcers  , #7

1. Rav’s Introduction: So, concealment what do we need this concealment for, the study together in the wisdom of Kabbalah that several actions are done by the Upper force, by the force of the Creator and how many actions it is performing to build the system in which we exist to begin with and we start from zero in the bottom most states to develop. It goes through all the worlds, Adam Kadmon Atzilut, Beria, Yetzira, Assiya down to this world and breaks the desires, connect the desires in order to build a single system which will be able to absorb the created being called Adam. Then later on, this Adam that the Creator creates on the level of Atzilut, how this Adam is a prototype which gets broken and then after the shattering, falling and the many descents, finally it becomes revealed in some small animal form like us on the degree of this world. From that we have to build ourselves in the form of Adam, human not everybody, but those in whom the point in the heart awakens. All the others, they all seem like beasts. 

Those who have an inclination to attain the Creator which means that they were revealed in such a way in Babylon they are called Yashar Kel, Israel and they build from themselves, the form which is similar to the Creator, which is the form of Adam. All the others are like animals, they exist on the animal level, they only feel whatever is happening inside of them. That as The Zohar says that their eyes are turned inwards and they do not feel what is happening outside and only those who are ready to come out with faith above reason, to come out with their own sight and feeling to what's happening outside of them, they are called Adam, similar to the Creator. This is why the entire level of Adam starts from us acquiring the quality of bestowal or we can call it faith above reason, a spiritual vessel. We begin to be similar to the Creator in that we exist in the vessel of bestowal. If we cannot come out from our egoistic vessels then we are still on the level “they all seem like beasts” even though nevertheless, we get a certain desire because the Creator wants us to come closer and to be similar to him. 

He performs all kinds of games, exercises, awakenings with us and we learn how much the Creator created all kinds of special conditions in order to give us to create the possible conditions for us where we would be able to become similar to Him. It is not simple as He broke and created and arranged all the desires and thoughts in special interconnections between them in order for us to be able later on to sort, to scrutinize them so each out of oneself and later on, out of those who connected to Him, close to him. So on one hand they are opposite to him on the other hand he brings them closer and from this attitude between them builds an image of bestowal and connection, the image of the Creator. This is why the concealment was given to us especially by the Creator he broke himself which means that he broke the system of Adam he created, he broke it in order for us to put it together. By us assembling it, we build him as it says “you have made Me”. In the system of Adam HaRishon, in those relations between the broken parts while hating each other, rejecting each other each one wants to be proud, above the others, to control the others but specifically the opposite when we want to reach a state where each and nullifies towards the others, each is willing to do that the others wants even thought, the ego doesn’t allow him. 

More and more they scrutinize each and every detail how much they don't want to nullify, how much they have to nullify, how much specifically he can connect to the others. and them to him this way each and every person out of the point of shattering, which you call the point in the heart, builds out of himself the Creator. Each one can be called Adam, as it says you are called Adam, men and this is what we need to attain and also says “you have made Me” that we make the Creator, we make from ourselves through all the actions, our thoughts and desires to the others we have to make out of ourselves the similarity to the Creator. Here one needs to think how can I do this in each thought, in each action, in each deed, whatever one has whether he is performing an action so the Creator is hidden and the person is acting so he is seemingly operating instead of the Creator. That is that the concealment exists deliberately around us so we could determine our relations between us in such a way that it is like each one is the Creator towards whatever is around us, each one to everybody else and by this according to the plan of creation, we have to reach a similarity to the Creator, each one of us and all together. We are beginning this path resembling the Creator each one of us today, we try to start to implement it and this is why we see how much reality is already feeling itself as broken, incapable of doing anything on one hand, on the other hand how much it must have this. 

Therefore, nothing else can help us, no success with the vaccines or other things, none of it will help as the success has to be in the correct connection between us so each one relates to the others like the Creator, each one wanting to be like Adam, similar to the Creator and this is actually our work and we have to understand, and we started to understand already, that this is our work. Nothing else. The Creator values each one of us according to how much we understand this whole path which he paved for us so we can resemble him and our success in reaching the state of Adam to become similar to Him. We need to understand today according to what is revealed, we are beginning this work on the scale of the whole humanity. There is difference, of who understands it, who doesn't understand it and how much we can advance on this path until we resemble ourselves to the Creator, to become like Him completely. By this each and everybody and I am talking about as Bnei Baruch, each and everyone has to show himself as a representative of the Creator. Each should show himself to be similar to the Creator and provide an example in something that he is similar to the Creator and then if we will depict ourselves, each towards the others this way then each one will be called an angel that he wants to resemble the Creator in this way, in such a way. When we build from ourselves more and more forms of the Creator, we will reach equivalence, identification, adhesion. This is why we have to see in the concealment which the Creator created in those degrees from above, from Ein Sof to this world where he created these degrees, the stairs, how much these degrees are calculated precisely and builds in a gradual manner in order for us to rise and resemble the Creator reach Him, each and every body and all of us together reach the degree of Adam, the similarity to the Creator. Therefore, each and every moment in my life I have to think in what do I want to resemble the Creator and then it will be clear to me what it means to work in bestowal in faith above reason, in connection, in love all, in these things which are necessary. These are the qualities of the Upper force that I must constantly see more and more how I build myself in such a way that I arrange myself, assemble myself in order to carry out such actions in relation to the whole reality which is broken on purpose to show me where I am, who I am, all the worlds as world, Olam, means concealment. 

This is how I see myself inside that is the world and to the extent I correct my attitude to the world, I can see how much this world is becoming more and more corrected and it all depends on my correction. There are many words here, many sentences we could add but the idea is this that we exist in our situation in order for each of us and all together to build from ourselves the image of the Creator. Simply to play this, to act in this like little children playing with dolls and all kinds of things they build, this we need to build between us, relations that by them we intend to be similar to the qualities of the Creator.

2. S. (15:05) You said that every thought and state in life I have to resemble the Creator, what does that mean right now in the lesson?

R. I am now under concealment, the whole topic is concealment for a few days, we have been studying it all in all this is about the Creator prepared for us. This concealment precisely matches in quantity and quality all the different manners for us to gradually discover and discover him that we exist in the same form as the Creator, that we relate to one another like him. That we should feel and think like him more and more, this is what we need so the concealment only awakens, it gives us conditions that out of them we will be able in the most correct way to discover the Creator.

S. But what does that mean that I think or feel like the Creator?

R. The study the actions of the Creator which is the actions of bestowal and love, in general, so I have to depict to myself in my relation to the friends in what forms of bestowal and love I have to be towards them and to the whole world in order to resemble the Creator more, that's it. There is the matter of commandments, we will talk about them later. There it stems from this, also that in order to resemble the Creator I can perform all kinds of other actions in relating to every element of reality so that also somehow advances me in a certain way to the image of the Creator. For the time being what is important for us and where we have to build ourselves is the ten, that I relate to each and every friend in the form, that this is how the Creator would relate to them. Can I do this as I imagine how the Creator would relate to my friends, can I relate to the friends also in such a way, try this out look what is missing, talk about this and by composing such forms of relations you will see how you are advancing and you will truly discover that the Creator is living between us, that we build him, we give him life and the spirit of bestowal and love which is the Creator starts to be sought after and later on he is revealed and he becomes alive and he determines in everything we have between us.

3. S. (18:41) The topic of the lesson is concealment we talked about how the Creator works in relation to us out of concealment so if we say that we have to build an attitude like the Creator has to us so what is the state of concealment in my action to the friends into the world?

R. I need to depict for myself from the state I am in how to build a relations from me to the friends in the group and later to the whole Bnei Baruch and the whole humanity in a way that I have in me, I develop in me, I cultivate in me the qualities of the Creator and buy this I am called Adam.

4. (19:46) We learn that what is the correct work in the ten of the various Reshimot determine our actions?

R. In our preparation in the ten you will discover what it is that you have to do in order to truly resemble the Creator. You have to think how the Creator relates to the friends, this is how I need to try to relate to them how does the Creator relates to the whole Bnei Baruch this is a more external circle, how should I relate to them in such a way, how does he relates to the whole humanity or in general to the whole nature which is the matter of today they are talking about nice attitude to Nature. So this is how we need to relate to everybody to the ten which is my minimal circle, my soul later on my soul expands more which is the worldwide Bnei Baruch, later on the whole of humanity and later on the whole of reality. I need to determine my relation to all these circles like the Creator with love with connection with a good, nice attitude, so everything that is important for me is one thing for them to exist in connection in love with mutual relation between them in such that love covers all crimes and in that I have to see that all these crimes that I discover between them, I can cover with love. Then all these crimes become connection and that they advance from hatred to love and I am the one who is advancing then in this way the whole world according to my perception reaches the end of correction. It is ahead of us, this is the work ahead of us but the most important is that I have to realize that I have to become Adam which means to be similar to the Creator to resemble the Creator and that is the work and this is the problem which I have before me in each and every moment to everything I see before me.

5. (22:54) If in a friend a strong hate awakens does this mean that he is in concealment and how can we cope with this to reach the goal?

R. The relations between us we need to see them, all of them, that they come from the Creator, from the general force, however in the relations between us there are such relations that are positive or negative that I can cope with and there are those I cannot cope with. So according to this I need to position myself in a way that it is closer or further away from the friends from these relations from everything I see or read and accordingly in resembling in relating to everybody with love as much as I can or as much as I cannot more with this one, less with that one and that are those I cannot cope with all, this is not yet for me, I cannot cope with this one. This is how we build our relations to reality in a sorting over the whole reality how much we can be closer or farther. Look what we get from our Kabbalists, from our teachers, first of all we have to make a ten have to build ourselves in the ten later and we can expand the ten into a wider circle to the worldwide Bnei Baruch men and women. 

Later on, we have to relate like this to the whole world then later on to the whole nature seemingly to ecology and all those things start with this but the main thing is to feel that in each and every moment I position myself at the center of reality and I want to relate to the whole reality like to the Creator to the Adam, to develop myself to be each time determining it more and more. Maybe it is seen on the outside maybe it is not so evidence on the outside and it is the wisdom of the hidden, it is hidden from us and also from each one towards his friends maybe, but we need out of ourselves to be constantly concerned am I similar to the Creator or not, am I similar to Him or not, in each and every moment. 

By this we will see how much we are constantly testing, checking ourselves seemingly through the pages, as I check myself of what am I composed of, how can I arrange my attitude to everything around me and to aim myself to come closer or distance myself, to relate this way or that way. In all of this inner work I am actually calibrating my vessel, my soul, my inner violin. I am celebrating it, tuning it so I can be good and doing good to everybody and by this I become Adam, similar to the Creator this is a long way but gradually we can begin to do this. We have reached it, this is why I start to talk about it like this and the whole world in the state of confusion they do not know what to do, so let us in this work, also gradually when we have some experience, let us start talking to them that we have no choice this is how we have to relate to each other and this is the correction of the world.

6. (27:30) I heard from you that I need to be the Creator for my friends?

R. This is what it says “have made Me” and then means that Adam, becoming similar to the Creator there are many verses about it you are called men, Adam, what does it mean that you want to resemble the Creator? This is our work practically we are not saying anything to you, I am just emphasizing more our work so it will be more detailed, clear before our eyes. I need to determine my attitude to each and everybody even to the still, vegetative and animate as the Creator relates to them with love, but there are different degrees in love.

S. In practice I have to become the reason for a life for the friends, I cannot understand how this responsibility can suddenly happen?

R. I need to feel that the whole world depends on me, I have to feel that I am responsible for the whole world from one's point one relates to the Upper force and he is passing through himself life to the whole reality, to the whole of humanity, to all the souls. So of course, everybody is responsible and then more we grow the more we expand that pipeline which is a passing through us to the whole world to all the souls so we will become even more responsible, more important. This is why it is called the righteous is the foundation of the world, the Yesod, meaning all of the white light passes through him to the whole of realty

7. S (29:40) The image of the Creator, is it the same for each friend?

R. No, it is not, each one has his own according to his degree, to his character. Nobody knows the image that friend has and nobody can compare his own depiction with the depiction of the friends. Even the Kabbalists when they write about it, they write about what they attained, what they depict, and not something general everybody feels similarly. The attainment of the Creator while it is groupwise, it is in the group according to our nullification to others, that we have to perform in order to organize the Kli for the perception of the Creator, because we cannot perceive Him in a single point only through 10 points, not 9 and not 11. This is how we build Him, but for each the attainment is one’s own, and we cannot compare the attainment because in each the point in the heart is an individual point, and even if everybody says that this is the Creator and everybody points and says “this is our God”, however for each inside it will be his own impression.

8. S. (31:32) How can we go through these pages during the day and look how am I similar to the Creator?

R. In each moment to look at the friends, you look at yourself, look at the world and you have to imagine to yourself in what way you relate to everything outside of you like the Creator, as being good and doing good, in the form of bestowal and love.

S. How to see the friend who plays the Creator, what do you see in him?

R. We are not talking about it, but we are talking about how in our lives, in every moment thanks to the concealment, which we have been studying recently, how thanks to this concealment we reach a state where we build out of ourselves, each and everybody, to build the Creator in his relation to whatever is outside of him.

9. S. (32:37) In the concealment all of us have a certain level of faith and we always ask the Creator for help, the action of concealment, is it basically the first stage for the work of the human in similarity of form?

R. The concealment is the condition under which we can build the image of the Creator and this concealment will never go away, it remains and it intensifies and on top of the concealment we build out of ourselves the image of the Creator, this is why to that extent we are called Adam..

10. S. (33:29) The concealment is one thing and the revelation is the other and this is the Kli and from these two we build our Kli and in it we pray for the light to come and connect everything?

R. Ok, let us put it this way.

11. S. (33:51) The crimes and the hate that appears between us, is this the concealment?

R. The concealment means that I do not see that in the world love dwells, the fact that I cannot discover that love exists in the world, this is actually the concealment. Because besides this what is hidden? Can I discover the Creator now with my physical eyes? I cannot discover Him yet. To the extent I am building Him I discover that he exists, that He appears and it is me who built Him, “you have made Me”. This is how we assemble the Creator in the world, and you might also say that the Creator actually does not exist, in that form in which we assemble Him, we crown Him, we make Him the King and this is not the force that was residing, existing before we make Him. So we will discover what form of the root this upper force appears in order to give us an opportunity to build Him, we will talk more about this.

12. S. (35:38) What is this hidden love, longing in us for the friends?

R. I do not know what is a hidden love, we are not talking about the love that is hidden, we are talking about the fact that each and every one, in each and every moment tries to make out of himself the image of the Creator in his relation to the others, which is good and doing good to the good and the bad, with love and connection and all this for him is the most important. First of all in the ten this is how we have to behave to each other, at least inside my ten, I have to show myself this way to the others. Of course, in that, there are many questions, how to depict myself that I am good and doing good. How to disclose it to the others, should I give it to them as an example or some kind of a hint, or I have to behave in a completely different manner, because by me showing them this example maybe I am chaining them, so they will not be able to have a free choice to be good or bad. There are many questions in this but we scrutinize all of them by being drawn, each and everybody in his behavior to the ten, like the Creator to the created beings, as being good and doing good. What does it mean to be good and doing good, how to do it, where, so we have to scrutinize all this, this is the life of the ten, the inner life of the ten, so let us engage in this, not to play in this but to truly engage in this so much so, we will feel indeed the Creator is with us in all of our efforts until we will feel He is clothing in our efforts and we are building within us such relations you would call it the Creator, good and doing good, there is none else besides Him. We want to have such relations and we will feel that each and every time the relations between us are corrupting we will accept though these as opportunities to bring ourselves to a degree of connection and a warm attitude which are more and more, Higher and higher and by this we will become partners with the Creator, he corrupts creation and we fix creation this way we feel ourselves as partners playing together in a single game.

13. S. (39:12) It seems that in order to build the vessels of bestowal something revolutionary has to happen in the ten, or we can build it by little actions which each of us is doing in the ten?

R. We today are starting a new stage in the relations between us, in the construction of our soul, so each one is obligated to relate to the others with love, there is no innovation in this, besides the fact that we are not waiting, we are not expecting anything for ourselves. Instead, we are constantly checking where can I relate to everything I hear, I see, I feel, when I am in my world how can I relate to my world, that it is a humanity, the tens, the worldwide Bnei Baruch, everything around us, so how can I position myself to all reality like the Creator, so I want as quickly as possible to reach the degree of Adam, being similar to Him. In all the variations, in all the different forms that the Creator is showing through reality to me and He's showing it to me specially so I can make out of myself the similar to Him, out of love, out of appreciation to Him, I want to relate this way to the full reality, starting with those who are close to me in the ten and then those who are farther in worldwide Bnei Baruch in a general, then later even more to expand to the whole humanity, and this is what we need to do from here on, to try to engage in from now on.

14. S. (41:55) We are told that we should ask to see the greatness of the Creator, but not to ask the Creator to reveal Himself, can you explain the difference between the two concepts?

R. This is the opposite of our way, we have to build out of ourselves the image of the Creator and not ask Him to reveal himself. We need to discover Him, we need to build Him and that there is nothing else to discover. The Creator cannot be revealed before we discover Him, when we discover Him, if we do that correctly, then in the same mould in the same form that we discover, we will begin to feel that He appears. This is considered that we created the right form, that we discover Him, we build such a vessel and He is revealed in that vessel. That means that from you there has to be the right attitude to the friends, to Bnei Baruch, to humanity, to the whole world and in the end you are presenting everything to the Creator, that you want to build Him, you want to resemble Him like a little child who wants to resemble his parents, this is what we need to do.

15. S. (43:48) You said that our work is to become a similar to the Creator to develop to be Adam and to work through the concealment which concealment stays, so in what way does the concealment change, does it reduce, what happens, what is the relation between our work and the concealment?

R. The concealment becomes more sophisticated each time, it becomes more complex, it includes within all kinds of forms of concealments, because we have to build the image of the Creator in more and more complex, intricate manner towards all the created beings, and these forms are numerous, infinite. That's why accordingly I discover new qualities in the friends, they become worse. Humanity becomes more complex and broken and on top of it I have to reveal a good attitude to everybody, with love and connection, with a nice attitude to the correction, softly, as I imagine the Creator who relates to everything in such a way. Also I never relate to them in a negative way even though we might depict different blows we are getting from the Creator, but it is not like Him doing it, but we are made it so not Him. We are responding in an incorrect way to the Upper light and this is how we turn light Into darkness. The most important is to understand this lesson in practice, that this is what we have to do in each and every moment in our life, this is the purpose of the concealment to give us as seemingly the Creator moves away from the world and gives us an opportunity to fill that place by ourselves, he dresses in each and everybody so giving us the right form for His appearance in the world, but we are providing that form and He is giving us the fulfillment and the power

16. S. (47:08) Why do we need to create the image of the Creator when the writings say that we shouldn't do any graven image?

R. We are not creating some image or idol before us which would truly confuse us, we are making out of ourselves Adam, this is considered that we are making Him, as if the spirit of the Creator dresses into us and operates through us, then we are considered Adam to that extent.

17. S. (48:03) How does concealment affect our development?

R. Without concealment we wouldn't be able to develop, how could it be without concealment? Imagine to yourself that you are now in a system and everything is wide open before you it is all clear and you necessarily perform all kinds of actions, you have no question before you that is all of the actions it is not you that is doing them but rather the system is doing them so you have no thoughts or no desire that precedes the act. Then there is no you, it is like an engine let's say where all of its parts are moving in accordance to and in harmony with each other that no part has any thought of itself or any decision so without concealment there would be no possibility to build ourselves as Adam considered similar to the Creator. This is why all of that development from above downward from Ein Sof down to this world is to build the concealments, the world's going to give us the possibility down here to begin our development in resembling the Creator, degree after degree. More and more similar to the Creator and according to that we will discover the conditions, the environment, each time it is different this is why it is called degrees. Each time it would be a new world, new degrees, new conditions in which we will be able to resemble the Creator, to be good and doing good in a warm mutual relation to everyone that is revealed before us.

18. S. (50:06) What if it seems to me the Creator towards my friend doesn't let him get close to the ten for a long time do I agree with the Creator and continue to let the friend continue acting the same way?

R. if I feel my friends are falling behind in their development in terms of resembling the Creator I hinge this on me not giving them enough examples out of myself. That they will see in me the correct examples for how we need to act and I need to show them that how I am trying to act so I will resemble the Creator and bestowal, in love and participation, in any way possible. I need to behave like the Creator towards my friends, that is first of all. That is the form of concealment that should help me in this way and therefore by that I am justifying the Creator who created the concealment in such a way that I can complete it so instead of him being concealed I reveal myself as the Creator. This is how it is with each and everyone.

19. S. (51:50) When I resemble the Creator in my relation to the friends do I need to want to fulfill the friends desires or influence them in a way they want to and change their intentions or both?

R. Read Rabash’s articles first of all, then you will advance according to how he writes and he writes along the entire path that we have to go through, don't think that this is just for beginners.

20. S. (52:33) With what sense do we turn the concealed into revealed spirituality?

R. That you want to relate to the whole of the surrounding reality like the Creator, you want to be Adam, similar to him, that is all.

21. S. (53:05) Concealment, revelation of hatred and anger towards the friends does this help in awakening?

R. No, again I'm saying after we talked about it saying that we need to relate to the whole of reality like the Creator and like that I will be called Adam and by this I was giving the feeling of concealment then there are no such questions like you are asking. Think about what we spoke about before then you won't have such questions. That you are relating to the friends in a bad way or in some such form.  We feel a negative attitude of the Creator towards us to the extent that we don't do it, that we disagree with the good and doing good, only in such a way.

22. S. (54:13) The Creator at first begins to be revealed as a part of us and then becomes revealed in us, are these stages that come one after the other?

R. The Creator is revealed in us only to the extent that we want him to be revealed in us and we make efforts for him to be revealed, when we make out of ourselves the image of the Creator and with that image of the Creator that we establish out of ourselves if it resembles him then we discover him. This is already light that dresses in the vessel. If in the relations between us in each one of us, we have restriction, screen and reflected light towards for friends and all together we connect through these actions, by that we are giving and creating the condition giving permission for the Creator to be revealed in us.

23. S. (5:38) There is a Creator that we need to build, discover, make and then there is the Upper force from which we asked what do we call the Upper force that we pray to and what is the Creator?

R. You said it very nicely, it is indeed true, because what we build is only a degree, similarly a partial form of the Creator, whatever we can imagine to ourselves and try to resemble. The Upper force from whom we ask for forces, a feeling and understanding, guidance that is the general force, that is the difference. So, as we learn there is the structure of the world of Ein Sof and all of the worlds that exist above us and there is the matter of the Partzuf where we exist and we need to build it and it has a concrete and well-defined form of internal and external 10 Sefirot with all of its components, this is what we are. However, when we ask for help, we need to turn seemingly to the surrounding light, the Upper force.

24. S. (57:16) How can we thank the Creator for creating the created being similar to himself and pushing them outside of himself?

R. By you wanting to relate to your friends as the Creator, full stop.

S. That means that I will love everyone?

R. Right.

S So I want to love everyone including you, thank you.

R. Thank you too.

25. S. (57:53) The artistry of resembling the Creator through the attitude to the friends how is that compared to the love of friends Rabash talked about?.

R. Love of friends is the means that helps me build the image of the Creator to relate to them, the friends just as the Creator relates to them. By that, we remove the concealments, we expel the concealment because this way we bring our warmth, our relationship and our love to the place of concealment so the concealment is not there anymore. The Creator starts shining within us, it is like we create reflected light between us and our relationships just as the Creator does and he dresses into that reflected light as direct light and there are more actions there that we can learn from the construction of the Partzuf but this is essentially what is happening.

S. Seemingly the love of friends is the vessel and resembling the Creator is the clothing already?

R. Right.

S. This is to give an example to the friends or this is the work of Adam?

R. No, this is my work, by that I give an example to others, sometimes more sometimes less and this is something we will clarify along the way how we need to play with that, there is a game there to play, how much you hide, how much you reveal. Not in everything do you need to be open completely towards the friends sometimes the other way around just as the Creator treats us he does it in different ways of revelation and concealment. But we will get there later as these are more complex and sophisticated forms, like with little kids you can't show kids the complicated forms of relationship between everyone they don't understand. Same with us right now we are just learning the first step to determine between us.

S. The emphasis is on the work in the ten in Bnei Baruch?

R. Yes right of course, but we will see how we can also extend that to the whole of Bnei Baruch and the whole of humanity, but the most important is the ten. We are now until the big Congress that will hopefully happen in February, we need to compose ourselves in a way that everyone feels that the group is a field that is similar to the Creator. How everyone resembles the Creator in his ten.

26. S. (01:01:32) A few days ago you talked about life that was meaningless unless you worked for the ten, what you said, it really works between me and brought me to fear. That I was using... desires does this mean that I'm coming out of concealment or starting the act of correction?

R. You will begin to show your love to the whole ten, that is it without doing too many calculations and by that you will see how much it influences you and all of the friends I keep doing that all of the time and you will see and each and every situation and state where you are, you will see how you need to resemble the Creator. The force that does good, as that force how do you behave to the friends and each and every moment.

27. S. (01:03:01) What kind of revelation of my love towards the friends would I see as a result?

R. It is not that important what I see as a response of the ten to what I'm doing, I perhaps will not see good correct things or what I expect to see, what is important for me is to always examine and research what does it mean to be good that does good to the bad and to the good to all of my friends in the ten and to relate to them that way. How to advertise that I love them because the Creator is ultimately the force of love, so how do I show them that I wish to resemble the Creator and that they will know that I am doing this with effort that I just decided to be that way, it's not like this is me, it doesn't matter to us who we each are each and every one of us is just a piece of ego that doesn't take anyone into account, but everyone needs to make himself into the image of the Creator, the human.

28. S. (01:04:45) Parents tell their children out of personal examples how to relate to everything, why is the Creator under concealment so he's not demonstrating to us they act of love and bestowal so we can know what it is?

R. Because then we would be angels, we would certainly do what we do like him, that means being like an angel. However, we are built to be a man, Adam, not an angel, meaning that I myself choose the different ways in which to resemble the Creator, I sort them out, I clarify them and compose out of them my soul. Just like a puzzle, like pieces of a puzzle the shapes in which I gradually resemble the Creator.

S. How do we see an example of how the Creator is operating if he is concealed?

R. Imagine to yourself what the Creator is and thus you will see what to do, the good that does good to the bad and to the good, what is the meaning of the good, read the articles, are you reading every day, how many articles are you reading everyday?

S. If in short or intermediate articles it depends, but on average an article everyday.

R. So you are connecting for 15 minutes?

S. 10 minutes 3 times a day.

R. That's not good.

S. What is good?

R. Good to connect for half an hour twice a day, even though most of the Rabash articles can be reviewed in 20 minutes for an article.

S. We will try, what does it mean to be like a Creator towards the ten and like the Creator towards the world?

R. For the ten that is clear the good that does good for the ten and doing all that they expect the Creator to do for them to give them direction to give them forces and everything this is what I should try to give them as much as possible. In regards to the world as much as I can explain to the world what needs to be done, Show an example then I do that as well.

S. Because we see that the Creator is giving blows to the world so what kind of attitude and example can we take from that?

R. The Creator doesn't give blows to the world, that is how we say it, how we say it in our language and I agree that we should continue to say that because it awakens us to turn to him more. Because the egoistic world doesn't expect anything it is the only thing that can push it forward. If the world feels blows by the Creator then it will start relating to the Creator. However, we need to be on a degree in such a state that we don't care. It doesn't matter to us whether we suffer blows or feel an attraction. It is for us an opportunity to resemble the Creator in our attitude to the friends so everyone sees himself towards the friends as a small creator.

S. Does the whole ten need or do we need the AHP to pressure us that we will be GE for them?

R. I am not yet using such terms because we don't have that you are not yet GE to have the AHP.

S. Do we need something else besides the friends in the ten to pressure us to reach connection, another force that will pressure us?

R. Let us build ourselves first, don't jump, if in the meantime you don't have any structure of your own.

S. That is my question?

R. No, the question is you can't build an additional part to the soul before you have the primary part, that is not how correction works. When you at least have a foundation, vessels that are in mutual bestowal towards each other then you can build and turn to an external part that will pressure and awaken you. It is like giving birth to children that will shake us to be more active in life so as to provide them with livelihood.

29. S. (01:10:31) How is concealment integrated to the integrality of the world?

R. The concealment is connected to the integrality of the world as a whole world is in concealment and we can't yet connects the whole world to us but on the condition that we work within our small framework above that we are connected to the whole world and afterwards when we can determine our form in the ten then we can come out of the ten to a broader circle in a way that it is within our control and then we can begin to expand further and further.

S. Can we say that freedom of choice that a person has because of this freedom of choice, because of the integrality that is in the world that the Creator also has freedom of choice? That the Creator's freedom of choice is related to man's freedom of choice?

R. Yes to the extent that we are in connection between us we allow the Upper light to work in that connection that is correct.

30. S. (01:12:07) What does it mean to relate correctly to the whole of reality like the Creator from where we take these forces?

R. From the group, what is Rabash talking about, how do we relate to the group, how can I relate to them as being zero or as being higher than everyone, it is all because of the group turning to the Creator and over all of these crimes we asked for strength.

S. What does it mean to relate to the whole of reality, all of the different degrees like the Creator

R. We're not talking about all of the degrees we are talking about the ten, I don't want to hear about all of the degrees, I said it in advance. We are talking about the ten how everyone towards the ten shows with all of his power and opportunities that he wants to resemble the Creator, that is why the ten and the concealment in the ten was given.

S. Sometimes we see when we encourage the friend even when he doesn't come up to the meetings or to the lesson it doesn't necessarily encourage him, sometimes it has the opposite effect, what does it mean to relate good to the friend who doesn't show up for lessons or the meeting?

R. Then you need to take care of those who take part in the ten regularly because from them you build the soul and those who don't come don't come, if they come sometimes they come sometimes and let it be so in the meantime. Later on they will see that either they come closer or the fact that they don't take part sufficiently it throws them out. They themselves are sorting themselves out.

31. S. (01:14:21) Does the Creator take pleasure in us looking for him through the friends, is this the most efficient way to please him?

R. To search for the Creator means that I look for ways in which I can resemble the Creator, that means to search, how else can I resemble the Creator from the state that I am in? That is called searching for the Creator. Because he's not there, what are you looking for, the light of Ein Sof, something that is concealed and never revealed? You have to look within the Kli, make yourself the right vessel and then you will start feeling that you build the vessel and that he can dress into.

32. S. (01:15:27) Is my criticism on the friend can it be out of love?

R. Better to set an example, the best thing is to show a good example to the friend and not to criticize him.

33. S. (01:16:06) I myself choose different forms, these forms depend on our efforts and our states in the connection between us??

R. Let's say so and this will be further clarified.

34. S. (01:16:24) To resemble the Creator and practice in the ten towards the friends this is that we connect and we try to find deficiencies in the friends to fulfill them or are there additional forms by which we practically resemble the Creator?

R. You're not looking for faults in others, where are you coming from looking for faults in the friends, did you read anything from Rabash talking about the ten in this way?

35. S. (01:17:03) Is the principal if I'm not for myself who is for me, does this actually talk about making Adam out of myself?

R. Yes.

36. WSQ: (01:17:25) What is the general action for each of us to resemble the Creator in the ten? So that is in the ten each and everyone does this action then the ten is already in the first spiritual degree. What does it mean to be in the action of love, bestowal, connection just like the Creator inside the ten?

37. S. (01:23:08) Suddenly there is a question but what is an act of bestowal am I capable of it, what really is an act of bestowal?

R. The fact that you want to resemble the upper one, the Creator that on your part is an action of bestowal towards him. So you need to try to relate to all of the friends and all of creation really as you can imagine to yourself the Creator's attitude toward that.

38. S. (01:23:41) What does it mean in each one there is a little creator inside?

R. That a person needs to describe and portray the Creator to himself it doesn't matter in what way and what intensity, but as much as he can. That shape is what he wants to clothe himself with and essentially that is how we relate to the friends.

S. How do I establish this image, how do you establish this thing called the Creator and begin to act from it?

R. It's the restriction, screen, the reflected light, that way we build from ourselves this image of bestowal that we are capable of that is the image of the Creator.

S. Let me ask differently, I hear this lesson that each time we have to search how to resemble the Creator?

R. To resemble means to love.

S. To love so in this moment what does it mean that I was able to resemble the Creator?

R. All the time yes you just continue to succeed in it more and more looking for how in every state the Creator sets up for you, how in you through all of these changes you resemble him?

S. What is the action of resembling him?

R. To relate to the friends just as you think is good that does good relates to them, you as if discover his attitude towards them, even though he himself and his actions are not apparent.

S. Do I have any indication so I can see if I acted correctly?

R. Later you will see that yes. Are you seeing something new and what we discussed today, I just brought this story in order to further explain what the concealment is for and that is the topic of the lesson.

S. At least for me this whole matter of resembling the Creator sounds as though it is a lot closer than how it was.

R. Excellent very good now do it each and every moment and then you will see how many confusions you will have against that and how many states in favor and against, do it because all and all that is our work and our final mission. By that you build the human within you.

S. That is clear it's just I have no clue how to begin to act in the right way.

R. Simple just like you are in the ten start relating to them from within with as much love and connection as possible, start doing that and you will see how many disturbances you will get as opposed to that. Then you will have a question, why am I doing that in order to bestow in order to receive, what do I get out of it, what is he get out of it, am I doing it for the benefit of the friends or my own benefit or the Creators benefit. You will start engaging and that and then you will see how many questions you are going to have. It seems to us as though this is a simple action, it's going to awaken many disturbances.

39. S. (01:27:59) We learned now that we have to learn from the Creator bestowal and absolute bestowal and love, on the other hand we learn that we must not erase the left line so how do we do this because the Creator doesn't have enough line so how do we maintain that?

R. You in the meantime do what we're talking about today and then we'll see what to do with the three lines.

40. S. (01:28:43) How can we manifest outwardly?

R. What do you mean?

S. How do we express this?

R. I don't understand what you mean outwardly.

S. So that the criticism will be corrected.

R. In order for the criticism to be corrected you have to say it outwardly, you're going in the wrong direction.

41. S. (01:29:28) If I discover the Creator's concealment through a negative thought towards the friends then I need to act, what if the friends are demanding for me to show them the truth?

R. I don't understand your questions, it's like you're in a new story. You need to show each one towards each other and Rabash writes about this, you have to show that you are in love and mutual support for one another this is what we are speaking about. Not about anything but that. By this you are already doing an action that in some what you are resembling the Creator afterwards we will see two lines, three lines, all kinds of other components but for now in each and every state, I before my group only towards my group need to see myself that towards them I am in love in a good and positive attitude in connection between them in order to show that I have to be less than them and also more than them. In everything that Rabash writes he explains what the state is made of for the ten and today we were speaking only about relating to the ten like the Creator. For us it is divided into a lot of actions.

S. We read the article several times a day, but I don't feel them and we don't discuss them.

R. Keep reading, you have to go through a state where you won't feel anything in them that they will be completely tasteless like there is nothing and then you will start feeling them, it will come from inside, a demand from inside to understand in our life what we have to do. Then you will start seeing Rabash’s writings specifically about that.

42. S. (01:32:11) How to relate to a friend who constantly says that he doesn't feel the friends love for him?

R. Okay there's some that don't feel, some do some don't, so he won't feel it doesn't mean that now he has to do everything that he wants to or that he feels like, he has to perform from himself actions of love to the ten and maybe from that he will start feeling how they love him. Only from that. Until I don't perform such actions, I don't feel if the friends are doing it or not.

43. S. (01:33:00) Love towards the friend is expressed differently by each friend so what kind of intention do you need to have behind this love?

R. That depends on the friends, they have to see that I love them, that I am revealing my love towards them, that I am not acting and concealment but that I am really in this in making efforts that I might not have such a value of love like I am presenting to them but by that I want to awaken such a response to them. In this way we exist and we advance.

S. What is the proper feedback from a friend for a display of love?

R. I'm not searching for feedback, obviously I want it but if there isn't any there isn't, do understand? If none, so none. The main thing for me is to show it to everybody, that I am in love towards them.

44. S. (01:34:23) In what world is concealed the corporeal world or the spiritual world?

R. There aren't a lot of worlds, only what I feel and what I feel there is a corporeal part that for now is revealed in my senses, in my beastly senses and there is a part of it which is concealed from reality, the part of reality that is concealed that I don't reveal it yet because I don't have the senses for it. That now by bestowal in love when I am trying to attain it, by that I am trying to reveal it.

45. S. (01:35:16) How to truly be in love and bestowal towards the friends and to not get confused just acting cordially or nicely?

R. We are going through such inner states that are always changing and specifically the effort in bestowing in love awakens forces in us and desires that are more egoistic and deeper, another layer and another layer deeper. So it can't be that we will reach some kind of relationships of mutual love in the ten and it will remain. Every time it will always go up and down. we are being taken care of from above.

46. S. (01:36:20) Can I ask about the articles Rabash that we read every day? 

R. Yes. 

S. So as you said we get to read one to two articles a day, so the feeling is that these articles are like a lesson in the day and I feel that they are very influential as it affects me very greatly, I come with them to the morning lesson as if I feel like I forget the Morning Lesson but I have the articles in influencing me throughout the day.

R. That's great, what is the problem, Rabash is above us?

S. It's not a problem but what is so great about doing just the reading?

R. Right that's how it should be.

S. It clothes in you, how does it really work?

R. It goes in and it works, you just have to read it together in the ten that one reads and everybody listens and it works on everybody, I'm very happy to hear it.

S. Why does Rav also read Rabash articles are they not for beginners?

R. What's the question, I also read the articles?

S. Rabash wrote for the beginner ten....?

R. This is for the Gmar Tikkun that he wrote it is so deep because every time we scrutinize new desires that are corrupted that arise from the depth of the shattered general soul, that is why every time we are standing before these articles Rabash and Baal HaSulam in a way that we have new discernments and it doesn't matter that we had it yesterday. Everyday it should be new in your eyes. Everyday I see something newer and deeper that activates me that I get inspired from it more, specifically from day-to-day until this day. Even though more than 40 years have passed. Rabash started writing them in ‘83 or ‘84, so soon 40 years Every time I see something new in them, so it's no question in it that for me I also have friends that I am with them and they read and I get inspired by what he writes and for me every time it is a new article. I don't think it's good that you read half an article and then another half of an article, maybe it is better to have a meeting to go for 5 more minutes to finish.

47. S. (01:40:02) I felt that throughout the whole lesson there is great responsibility that is expected of each one of us like the Creator demands so how can we feel this responsibility to where the whole of reality?

R. By you wanting to display love to your group you will start feeling more and more of a responsibility and by that you will grow specifically according to the measure of your responsibility you will grow.

48. S. (01:40:36) You spoke about how it might be better to hold two meetings of half an hour each day so I'm trying to see the boundaries as we don't want to harm the necessities of the friends during the day as they work?

R. I don't know, to me it seems two times a day, half an hour and nothing more than that, that is enough for us to go over the Rabash articles and along with that we have the Morning Lessons and in this way we can build ourselves. Still you see that everyday I can't give you more than the morning lesson, I have a portion that I open and I present it towards you and that lives in you in addition to the Rabash articles we fill ourselves in a good way.

S. I'm asking, in our reality we have friends for whom it harms their necessity, the work, so what to do?

R. I don't think that twice a day half an hour each time that it will take all the time that they are devoting to their life. You don't pray you don't do all kinds of other actions.

S. The meetings are at 12:30 p.m. and 5 which is work time.

R. So don't do it at those times I'm not telling you when to meet, the main thing is to read Rabash.

49. S. (01:42:52) So if we meet at some time that the ten decided and we're done reading the article, can we have it for less than half an hour if we're done with the article

R. So maybe put that time later on or read a short article there that isn't according to the order, the main thing is to go from the beginning to the end, all of the Rabash articles.

S. If I can ask also about the evening lesson maybe this is a possibility can give us more time there?

R. I'm not teaching an evening lesson.

S. Right now there is a recorded evening lesson with a workshop afterwards it is possible if you think it's proper....?

R. Who gives the evening lesson?

S. It is a recorded lesson and friends who conduct workshop.

R. What is the topic?

S. A recording of 1 hour from the Morning Lesson and the half-hour workshop that the friends conduct.

R. Everything is important and that is also important but still the fact that we will fill ourselves with Rabash articles, that is important.

S. So in your opinion we can cancel the evening lesson?

R. The evening lesson is an hour and a half so at least slice a little bit out of it, look friends, I don't know, all in all we are advancing.

50. S. (01:44:36) We meet in the Morning Lesson, we read Rabash articles you have this Saturday lessons and the Congresses, the Assembly of Friends, but actually we don't have any opportunities to openly display our love. You remember we had the Congress in Piter where we looked into each other's eyes giving each other compliments, things which the ego rejects but it is very effective, now we do nothing like that. Everything that Rabash writes remains like dry knowledge, First I am ashamed to talk about love and give compliments and I guess we all are and we do nothing like that, so how do we express love?

R. It's not with words, all of these exercises that you look into the friends eyes, it all depends on a person's character and as much as he knows how to act. I don't think that we have to do that. I didn't see any Kabbalists do that. You have to feel that the friends, that we have to do this without any words just that the friends are relating to one another each according to his character to his ability that he is relating in love, that they want to do good to the others because they want their society, they want to resemble the Creator, they want to give contentment to the Creator. This is how we need to see it.

51. S. (01:46:35) Can we say it will come by itself and we just need to do what you say?

R. If you want to relate in love to one another the friends will feel it, sooner or later it will be felt and quick. It all depends on the intention in your heart.

52. S. (01:47:02) Regarding the articles we in the ten do what you recommend yet it happens to be that we read almost three articles a day but we have friends who cannot read, so the burden falls on a few friends who came.

R. It is not a burden, it is a Mitzva.

S. Exactly, so we want to know what intention the reader should hold during the reading?

R. Part is reading and part is making intentions, it could be that we only have one reader which is also ok and if we all agree and let that one person read so let him read it doesn't have to be in rotation.

S. These meetings where we read, is it good to record them for the friends who aren't present?

R. I don't know maybe, yes, the fact that they can't and that they're not there, for me always awakens a question.

S. So that's why we want to know if to let the friend exert himself letting him know that he missed out?

R. It's two ends of the stick, on one hand you showing him that you love him and all the other hand it depends on your attitude, you could be awakening a disregard from him that they could listen later on and they don't have to be in the meeting.

S. Is it worthwhile to hold global meetings when we read or to be intimate in the ten?

R. In the ten.

53. S. (01:49:19) You said everything depends on the intention in the heart and that we simply need to want to love the friends and then everything will be good, everything will be sorted but love not for yourself is something that is completely opposite to my nature, completely. So the question is in what way do we come to love the friends?

R. If we want to reach love towards the friends just as I want to reach love of the Creator and it shouldn't be one more or one less.

54. S. (01:50:08) Previously you said that while we read the reader doesn't have to emphasize any special phrase or words?

R. It has to be in such a way that it is good and understood by everybody and not by that that he is giving his attitude to the text.

55. S. (01:50:36) So what to do about the noise that exists in the world all of the time?

R. That is why I said today what you have to do in each and every moment in life, you need to awaken love towards the ten and even to all of reality, to all of humanity. Just as the Creator is actually relating to everybody in unconditional love, this is how you have to organize yourself in such a relation to all of reality and then you will have something to do throughout the whole day.

56. S. (01:51:42) Great gratitude for the privilege of reading the Rabash articles twice a day, there are tens who do what you say who read for half an hour and three articles a day. The reading is sometimes when a person has to do actual earthly work so what should a person do if he can't listen fully?

R. If you can't be connected with them in a group action, so in his desire to record it and send it to him.

S. Even to connect to the meeting but to be silenced because he can't actually partake?

R. As much as possible to hear or not it turns out that it's not this or not, that but try. 

57. S. (01:53:03) Sometimes a mother relates to the child with apparent anger to awaken him, how does it work in the ten?

R. We need to show each one to the other signs of love and how it works is that sometimes we're in a state that we can't get these signs of love that they aggravate us, that they awaken hatred in us because we can't, because we're not with them in this, we are not adapted to them. So we have to understand that these states also go on the friends and that time will come that they can change. That is how it is.

S. If a friend in the ten displays his love towards me I don't feel comfortable with that so what is the right way to respond and react?

R. You have to show the same thing to him then afterwards you will see that these signs shouldn't stand out, that you'll see instead of love that hate will come and this or that, that hate and love will switch between each other because it is the face and the back of every state. No problem.

58. S. (01:54:48) By relating to the ten as we do to the Creator is it also an act of annulment towards them?

R. I don't understand the question.

S. When we treat the ten as we do the Creator do we by that also perform annulment towards them?

R. What do you mean towards them?

59. S. (01:55:30) Should we listen to recordings of the Rabash’s articles instead of reading?

R. Actually yes if it is a good recording you can listen to it especially if it's not in Hebrew but in the different languages that you need to have them translated into they should be in the archive in all languages, I'm really all for that.
