1. Rav’s Introduction: We say that there is none else besides Him, that there is only this force that from our perspective, we call it the upper light, the upper force and it exists, it is all that exists. Its desire is to create the created beings and it created the created beings and gave the Creator according to the law of equivalence of form, to the extent that they can acquire His qualities or its qualities, to that extent they feel like it. Then they will discover it and get closer to it according to their qualities. That gives us the whole of the wisdom of Kabbalah, in other words the revelation of the Creator, the spiritual ascent, the wisdom of Kabbalah all of it is only a change, a correction in our qualities to the point where they become identical to the qualities of the Creator. The quality of the Creator, from our perspective, when it is revealed, we can't talk about anything else, but what we can reveal what Kabbalists have explained about, those who have already attained it, the quality of the Creator or it's us is that he is good that does good, bestowal, love and this is what we need to attain.

This is what the wisdom of Kabbalah deals with how to receive from the Creator all the good that He wants to give us and fill us with. We for our part need to understand that we attain all these things when we emerge from the framework where we exist now necessarily. This framework is only what we call the perception of this world, when we feel ourselves basically, we are living in our own quality, our own will to receive which is opposite to the Creator. We receive a very limited reality, external false reality but for the time being we exist in it and all this was given to us so that we would establish, arrange the counsel's, the advice of the Kabbalist that will be able to emerge from our perspective which is called the perspective of this world, to the perception of the real world. This is why the whole wisdom of Kabbalah is in order for us to change our perception so that instead of attaining phenomena within our will to receive, to attain within the desire to bestow. This allows us to come out of our situation, our life, our world which is bitter in dark and narrow and to begin to feel the Creator. Besides this what we want to acquire is the form of bestowal, resembling the Creator so we emerge from our perception of reality to a broader, true reality that really does exist.

Therefore, we say in the wisdom of Kabbalah that there is only light, the Creator the force of bestowal and do we created beings who were created and exist inside of the will to receive, we exist and feel only ourselves. As it is written in the Book of Zohar that our eyes are looking inwards into ourselves and the wisdom of Kabbalah is about perceiving the wisdom, meaning inverting our vision, not inwards but outside of us and outside of us there is only the upper light, the Creator, the power of bestowal. The wisdom of Kabbalah contrary to other teachings, religious, psychological, you name it, it talks about only one thing about the perception of reality that is outside of the will to receive which is the Creator. It is a wisdom. The wisdom of Kabbalah is a wisdom or science about the revelation of the Creator to the creatures in this world but we need to invert our qualities from reception to bestowal. So, it turns out that the revelation of the Creator or spiritual ascent, the revelation of the wisdom of Kabbalah are one in the same, a transformation of our qualities into the quality of the Creator from reception to bestowal. We must prepare ourselves correctly to perceive to grasp the wisdom of Kabbalah and for this purpose we need today we need to speak about the perception of reality, the right perception of reality because a change in the perception of reality is actually what we need to happen to us, so that instead of feeling the present reality that we perceive, which we perceive only inside our will to receive, inside our qualities. We need to change them into the qualities of bestowal and then as it is written I will see an opposite world so accordingly we will begin to discover the world of the Creator which is the real wisdom of Kabbalah. And then we will be learning the qualities, actions and operations that happened in the operation of bestowal and this is really the wisdom of Kabbalah so let's start reading the excerpt, interpret them, learn something from them.

2. S. (8:30) The perception of reality, the other perception of reality, is in the quality of love to the friend?

R. Yes but not only. We begin to practically approach the desire to bestow and the means, the instrument for acquiring the desire to bestow instead of the desire to receive is done by performing activities within the group. Then the group is the means to change my qualities of reception into qualities of bestowal.

S. So when I feel the love towards the friends, I discover another layer?

R. If you really come to love others, by this you will immediately begin to discover a different reality from the one you feel in your natural egoistic sense.

S. What is this additional layer?

R. This is called the spiritual world.

S. How is this perception of that world expressed?

R. In that everything that you feel there and discover is only in the perception of bestowal outside of yourself, outside of your will to receive in the desire to bestow. And a change in this perception can happen only through the influence of the reforming light so that the upper light, the force of bestowal will come, mainly from the Creator, and will change your perception of reality.

Excerpt 1 (10:58 - 11:24) 2x

3. R. (11:26) Everything depends on and is included, present in my perception. How I feel reality is how I feel it. It all happens within my desire, even though it seems like there are galaxies and there is planet Earth and billions of people, it is all happening only inside of my desire and outside of my desire I don't see or feel. In my desire there are all kinds of changes so that's why it seems to me like some phenomena are closer and some are farther, and everything is divided into still, vegetative, animate, and speaking, in different times, distances, kinds of forms of perception but it is all inside of my will to receive. If I change my will to receive, I actually change reality and I don't need all kinds of corporeal means to happen in the will to receive. I can influence my will to receive using the upper light. With it, I will change reality and, in this way, I will govern the world.

Excerpt 2 (12:56 - 16:08) twice

4. R. (16:09) We would feel something inside but we would never be able to study these things, to try to change them and learn from the changes, to be in some objective manner toward them. It’s not objective but it’s somehow from the outside, we would only feel it from outside of us. You know, we can compare it to a baby. A baby feels only itself; it doesn't feel anything outside of it. It doesn't go into its perception of reality. What it feels is only itself, good, bad, it's all that it feels. It doesn't grasp that there's anything outside of it. It is present, within itself, so the fact that we are built in such a way that we can have a broader perception of reality outside of ourselves, and it is in the degrees of still, vegetative, animate, and speaking, and the speaking can seemingly disconnect from itself to feel the reality outside of it, to that extent which is why even egotistically we have psychology and others, well it's not a science because we understand that we cannot be objective in this, but we can still learn something as if outside of us, by seemingly ostensibly disconnecting from ourselves. Of course, it is unrelated to our science but still there is some way to compare me with something outside of me. Although it's clear even to professionals in these teachings that it is not really so, but that's the way it is in the wisdom of Kabbalah as well as Baal HaSulam says. We feel ourselves; we feel the world outside of us, the world outside of us is depicted inside of our will to receive. And the will to receive can be greater, broader or more confined. And accordingly, we perceive reality. In this way, we study, relate to and research it and this is the reality where we exist.

5. S. (19:07) In what we see, what is not real about it? What is that imaginary point?

R. We have nothing that is real because even in our desire we see everything egotistically, opposite. And we can't even quite research this oppositeness or see just how opposite it is from the Creator.

S. What does it mean, unreal?

R. Not real, meaning it doesn't really exist.

S. How come I see it?

R. You're seeing it because it is depicted inside your will to receive.

S. Why was it created like this?

R. So that you would come to your real vision with your own power, understanding and attainment and you will study and attain it on your own.

S. So this lie will serve the truth, seemingly?

R. Yes, correct. This is called ‘a handmaid who serves her mistress.’

6. S. (20:41) Continuing this question, on the one hand he says, “all the upper worlds are in man,” on the other hand, all of reality that we see on the outside does not exist in the upper world. How can you connect these two ideas?

R. We cannot connect these things. We see what we see in the will to receive in order to receive. If we make efforts between us in the society toward the Creator in a prayer to receive reforming light so it builds for us new qualities, true, spirituality ones. Then we will begin to gradually identify our reality that exists in the quality that is in order to bestow. And in this way, we will arise above our perception to a spiritual perception.

S. So what does it mean that all the upper worlds are in man?

R. That then, too, it will happen in our will to receive but it will be corrected. The will to receive is in us and outside of us is only the upper light, if you can even say it about this, the light of Ein Sof, infinity.

S. But the corrected will to receive is only through the connection in the 10, right?

R. We come to the corrected will to receive through the 10, yes. And outside of a person is only the upper course, the Creator, of whom we cannot speak because He is outside of the perception of our vessels. We have to -- within us, within our boundaries -- change our qualities from reception to bestowal and in them we will perceive the Creator and the upper world.

S. Is it the individual quality of each person or is it a quality that we reveal in the connection in the 10?

R. No, each one's personal quality but to the extent that he connects to the 10. It is the opportunity that the Creator gave us by breaking the vessel of Adam HaRishon and this is why when we connect among us, we can resemble the Creator, the quality of bestowal. And accordingly, within us, in our will to receive, there will be the ability to grasp reality in order to bestow meaning like the Creator.

7. S. (23:48) What does it mean to check myself when I check or examine my internality? The internality of all of the perception of reality?

R. Only towards the 10 can you check yourself. When you try to completely confine and restrict yourself to see in the 10 to what extent you can be incorporated in them according to what Rabash writes to us about connection in the group. We have nothing else to talk about.

S. Nevertheless, I have to examine myself. I have to incorporate myself in the 10.

R. Yes.

8. S. (25:03) Does it mean that if we are able to achieve equivalence of form with the Creator then we see the true reality?

R. Yes. The true reality is a reality that we discover in the quality of bestowal, outside of us, outside of our ego which limits, confines us within it. The quality of bestowal helps us grasp the reality which is outside of us which is the Creator. It turns out that a person can grasp only two forms of reality: either his ego or the Creator, outside of himself. There is nothing else besides those, either this or that.

S. If this world is created for us only in order for us to understand what we truly need to be corrected, inside of us, in order to resemble the Creator?

R. Yes, of course.

S. And as long as we see the reality of the world around us through our corporeal eyes that means we see all the problems and headaches that we see right now. And the more we correct, the more we become closer to the Creator, His attributes and qualities, the more we see a perfect world?

R. Yes. You are seeing the world with your qualities. In your spoiled qualities you see a spoiled world, in corrected quality, you see a corrected world.

9. S. (27:22) Is the connection with the friends real?

R. The connection is a connection to the extent and in the character, in the way that you depict it. And you can make this connection more, more qualitative or of higher and higher qualities and accordingly through it, with the friends, you'll be able to discover the Creator more and more. To the extent that the 10 becomes more and more as one, then you will receive. It's called ‘one receives one,’ you will receive, reveal the Creator.

10. S. (28:17) We are feeling creatures. Feeling, is it something personal or is it a quality of the Creator that He's passing on to us?

R. Our feeling is what we feel in the perception of reality, of course this feeling comes to us from how the Creator governs us.

11. S. (28:57) How do we measure the quality of connection between the friends?

R. Well, that's according to the extent to which we are rejected from each other and the extent to which we exert to get closer to each other, above it, nonetheless. This is how we measure it according to the levels of rejection, coarseness and the levels of connection.

12. S. (29:44) So everything that happens here in the last 24 hours and in the world, generally, is because of me? Because of us? Because of what we’re not doing?

R. Yes, that's correct.

S. What do we have to do? How do we correct it?

R. We have to see what's written in the books and do it.

13. S. (30:08) The state that happens in the 10, it's a great opportunity to scrutinize it. The friend, we’re sitting in the workshop, and what he's talking about is only love, only friends, only love and friends. Whose reality is he creating-- eventually he left the end but that's not the point -- whose reality is it, mine or the 10?

R. It is what he creates for himself either artificially or naturally.

Excerpt 3 (3055 - 33:06) twice

14. R. (3312) That's clear, right? That although it seems to us that there are changes in the world, changes in the upper world, it doesn't matter where. Even in friends, in the 10, it doesn't matter, we need to say that these are changes that are happening in me. And this is why I see reality as changing this way. Therefore, if I see all those things happening around me in all kinds of ways, I have to say that it is all out of the changes in me, only I changed and around me nothing changes. Of course, this is not for the day-to-day behavior in our world but this is what we will discover in the spiritual reality.

15. S. (34:09) The question is, if everything is in me, does it mean that the center of the 10 is also in me and also the Creator? Does it mean that the will to receive has the ability to bestow?

R. No, you are confusing many things here. First of all, you can say so the Creator is in me, the world is in me, everything is in me. What do I need to do then? You need to distinguish between what you discover now in your qualities and if you change your qualities, how will you feel reality then? Your relation to it and how you need to operate yourself in changing your qualities in order to discover a truer and truer reality each time. This is what is important for us. In other words, we need to understand that what we are saying now is a result of our internal qualities. The world is a projection of my qualities, this is how I see it, this is why it is written that ‘he who sees faults, faults in his own faults.’ And if I change myself, I will change the whole world. Why? Because the world is a projection of my qualities. If I correct myself completely, now, I can't correct myself because the rest of the people are also the result of my qualities. I seemingly need to correct the whole world but if I correct it, then I will correct the soul completely and the whole world will become the world of Ein Sof. Ein Sof meaning no limitation, no end to the revelation of the Creator in it. This is why we need to understand that if we want to change the world, we can't change it from without. We have to understand it already and stop playing around with nonsense. We only have to correct ourselves and then outside of us, we will see ourselves corrected and this will be the good, corrected world. This should be the right, true, realistic approach to changing reality, to changing the world, to change in our lives. Only by changing A person who changes from within, by this he changes in the world outside of him. This is why it's written about it, ‘’all who fault, fault in their own fault’ meaning to the extent of the corruption and correction in me, I see the world as more corrupted or corrected, that's it. It’s a projection of me. This is why the wisdom of Kabbalah is so important to us because through it we learn how to change our qualities, how to open them up, how to arrange them correctly, organize them correctly, learn who we are and how to change it. Meaning the wisdom of Kabbalah is actually the wisdom through which I actually change reality, myself and through it, I change the world that I see. This is why the wisdom of Kabbalah is the only means for changing MAN and changing the world.

16. S. (38:48) From a friend in the 10, how does it help us when we live in this egoistic, false perception, how can we come out of it?

R. The fact that we live in egoistic, false perception is because the Creator did it on purpose, it is written I have created the evil inclinations moreover, it is written, there is no joy before Him, He had no greater joy than in the day when He created Heaven and Earth. These two are perceptions, the Heaven is the perception of bestowal and the Earth is the perception of reception. This is how we have to perceive reality, precisely between the two is where we can exist because if we didn't have the egoistic conception of reality, we would be able to locate its opposite. The perception of reception in order to bestow, the altruistic. Without hate, there is no love. We cannot love without having some grasp of what it means to hate. The advantage of light within the darkness. You cannot have one without the other because we are created beings, we exist only within the gap between light and darkness, this is how we exist.

17. S. (40:43) If there is a certain reality besides my perception, what can I gain by rejecting what I see in my perception?

R. You don't need to reject, you need to acquire the actual perception, the real perception. This doesn't make you forget or the corporeal world doesn't disappear from you. No. You can speak to us and at the same time be in the perception of the highest world. These are two forms of perception: in order to receive and in order to bestow. For this, you don't need to get rid of your egoistic perception, except it won't be egoistic anymore. You'll be with us and you'll be able to understand us and see us at the same time along with it. It is we who can't feel or understand you beyond, outside of our qualities, this is how it works. Let's try to change our perceptions and feel the upper world, and in ourselves, the eternal world. To feel what it means to be outside of life, within the body, what is our corporeal, beastly body? These things we should reveal them very, very slowly, gradually, otherwise it is very confusing. There's a reason why they are naturally hidden because the perception should come to us to the extent that we can govern it, control, manage it. To reveal something from the beginning, outside of our perception, just like that, would only confuse us, would only harm us.

18. S. (43:23) Can we say that a mistake in this area is the egos, the perception is that we see the physical form separate from spirituality?

R. Yes, you can put it this way. Yes.

19. S. (43:50) Where is the picture coming from that is in the back of our brain when there is nothing outside of our brain?

R. I can explain this to you, it will get clear. We don't have a brain, we don't have the hindbrain, there is no us, there is no body, it is all what we do in our ego, it is our perception of reality, it is some kind of desires to receive that give us this feeling of reality and within them we get this perception of reality and that's it. The hindbrain in the back of our brain that he was trying to tell us that I see you in front of me but am I really seeing you in front of me, no, I'm seeing you here, there in the back of my mind there. There is seemingly this monitor and, on this monitor, the rays of light seemingly come there and then I see within me your shapes. This is ostensibly how the perception of reality happens but it is just an allegory it is not real.

S. Is the picture made special for each of us?

R. Yes, each one perceives reality differently, just as each face, each one according to his will to receive in whom it is individual and personal and a separate part from Adam HaRishon.

20. S. (46:19) To what extent should we use our perception of reality for our corrections?

R. Our perception of reality constantly accompanies us through ourselves, we feel ourselves alive in a certain reality so to the extent that I advance more and more towards the true perception of reality outside of me which is really the Creator outside of my will to receive. Accordingly, according to the feeling and perception of reality, I can say that I am advancing.

S. Yes, but in the meantime during our preparations, should we be using our thoughts because since that quantum theory, scientists have been talking about the subjective way that we create reality, should we be using it?

R. We also said that our perception of reality is subjectively that what everyone sees, he sees it inside of his will to receive, yes? Even before quantum theory, Kabbalists have been talking about this for thousands of years.

S. Kabbalists talk about it first, of course, does it help us to use these thoughts?

R. It helps us greatly because then we understand it's only our will to receive that we need to change in order to achieve the true perception of reality and the entire perception of reality will be in our will to receive and as much as it will be corrected the perception of reality will be more real or true.

21. S. (48:25) We have to contain what we're learning now about the perception of reality. Do we have to apply it only to the 10 and there look for the reality that I feel?

R. The main thing is in the 10, later will learn about the entire reality as well.

S. It is said that a Kabbalist achieves the bestowal in spiritual attainment and continues to live in this world and actually lives in the same reality as regular people?

R. Yes.

S. So for an example, when a Kabbalist is in this attainment, in the situation of rockets and war, in reality does he see the same missiles but sees the Creator's intention behind it or does he not see the missiles?

R. Of course, but there's no need to talk about it. Of course, it's like the difference between a baby and a grown up, that's a very different, nevertheless.

22. S. (49:42) You told one of our friends that everything I see is as if it's a movie. This perspective I'm looking from, is it the precise perspective of my will to receive in this general film?

R. Yes.

23. S. (50:28) How can we use this imaginary reality to attain the real reality?

R. We use this imaginary reality which for now is our true reality, seemingly and we're trying to change the connections between us, bringing ourselves from an individual perception of reality to the group's perception of reality and through these efforts we change the perception of reality. Then we are in ten Sefirot, we can begin to grasp the upper light in the form of the light and then we have a spiritual perception of reality.

24. S. (51:34) Should I first calculate in my brain and then go to work in the heart to be more in spirituality?

R. No. It has to be in parallel as much as possible, in parallel. The perception of reality is a part of the wisdom of Kabbalah, if you can even call it a part, that is more intellectual. Seemingly it appears to us to be more intellectual but it appears this way because it's more distant than our feelings. How do I connect, tie together with my qualities, my characteristics, with the perception of reality, this is a problem we are not working with our mind, we have to understand that our entire vessel is a vessel of feelings. It's a desire and the mind we sometimes use to connect several desires, certain desires, to measure them but not more than that.

25. S. (53:22) The hindbrain, where is the screen that is abstract but we are seeing something completely different. Everything we see in our eyes, is it like a dream because when we sleep this reality disappears so there's like a projection of a dream? Does it mean that we are living in a dream?

R. I cannot explain it exactly. Either when we wake up and will understand where we were and where we are, but first we have to wake up first, meaning we have to reach a force of bestowal and then opposite to that we will see what the force of reception is we used to be in.

26. S. (54:41) What level of dedication does it require towards the 10 in order to attain actual perception of reality in it?

R. Levels of the soul’s devotion are spiritual degrees that each time above the will receive each time awakens in you, you can't say which Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya, Yechida or the coarseness of Shoresh, Aleph, Bet, Gimmel, Dalet and so on for us 125 degrees, these are all degrees of one's soul devotion, when you go above your Nefesh and the degree of Malchut in you.

27. S. (55:43) How does one go about changing their qualities when the Creator is the one responsible for these qualities?

R. Man can only pray, ask. Ask. And by asking a person, I get closer to the Creator, I am tied to him and that's what it's all about, it's not about asking or wanting to perform various actions or corrections. The problem is that when he is asking from the Creator, he connects with the Creator and by that gets closer and closer to me that's it.

28. S. (56:46) We have reached the threshold of the real world by this lesson. What should we do now to enter into this real world?

R. Let's continue to learn the verses. You want to ask more and more and I'm telling you it is wrong. It's not that we should hold ourselves, write those questions down and then later if we did not get to scrutinize them during the left and then you can ask, otherwise you are stopping the flow of the less we can't quite move forward.

Excerpt 4 (57:47 - 58:33)

29. R. Meaning the important thing for us is to understand that the reality where people exist is a temporary one, extremely limited reality, is a false reality and we need to get through it and prepare ourselves for a new reality and try to open it up and reveal it, disclose it and this is something within our strength to do if we, all the inventions that Kabbalists give us we'll see ourselves as the worm that comes out of the radish, will leave the protection, we don't leave the world physically rather we change the perception of reality from an egoistic perception of reality to a spiritual perception of reality, an altruistic one and in that we see a new, enlightened, beautiful world.

30. S. (59:55) If there is only me and the Creator, did I create the still, vegetative and animal level or did the Creator made them?

R. Of course it comes from the Creator. You need to read more material on the wisdom of Kabbalah and they explained to us where all those degrees were formed and stem from the four phases of direct light in the world of Ein Sof so on and so forth you need to read more friends, I cannot give you all the material during my lessons but it exists, it is available in Turkish, Hebrew and English most languages obviously. So please give it a read how the world was created and is and where it's coming from everything's explained there.

31. S. (01:01:21) How can we help each other focus our perception of reality?

R. If I will grow accustomed to look at the reality, the Creator, the reality through the ten, then I aim myself at the spiritual perception of reality, the correct one and that's what we need to do. Because if not for that I simply have no way of changing my reality, I am going to stay in this world. Therefore, the most important thing for us is to change our perception of reality, otherwise we will constantly learn about the upper world, that it will seem to us as if it's there in the lower world and eventually we'll get instead of the spiritual world, a corporeal world, a physical world.

32. S. (01:02:59:) How can I claim to know the perception of reality of Kabbalists and the teacher?

R. Do what you are told and that is it.

33. S. (01:03:15) How do we acquire spiritual senses so as to reach the actual reality?

R. By doing what Kabbalist has to do, what kind of question is that you have to see what Kabbalists started saying and do it, that's it, be good students.

34. S. (01:04:01) Is our world imaginary, why do Kabbalists after all go through all the corrections and still live in both worlds in the upper world and this world, why doesn't the corporeal world disappear from them?

R. How do you know if it disappears or not? They need to be in this world in order to carry out their role towards us only for this reason.

35. S. (01:04:43) In the work with the ten I normally depict the images of the friends. Where should I put these images within or without? Outside or inside?

R. You need to connect your friends with the force of bestowal between you, the way you imagine it and through this force of bestowal between you, you need to relate to the Creator and that's really from love of the created beings to love of the Creator.

S. To the extent of building this connection they are still outside of me. My friends and I tried to shift them from the outside inside?

R. No point talking about it because what does it mean to grasp them within my egoistic will to receive, it's the other way around I have to come out of myself towards them getting incorporated in them.

Excerpt 5 (01:06:03 - 01:08:45) twice

36.S. (01:09:03) How can we draw lighter so that way he writes right here will actually happen?

R. Only by incorporating with the friends there is no other way.

S. When we read sources or certain sources that we read together can that make a bigger impact?

R. Yes, the sources will become more real sources accordingly but where are you taking this desire from in order to extract more from the sources by connecting more to the Friends everyone they will clash.

37. S. (01:09:54) How will all of reality be expressed in our spiritual vision?

R. I can't explain it but it will be expressed in such a way that we will see it in the light of bestowal and not the light of reception and this is probably what they refer to when they say I have seen an opposite world. since instead of the perception of reality in the form of reception, it's a form of perception in the form of bestowal. This is called I have seen an opposite world.

38. S. (01:11:07) He says that those who are immersed in the shells of the will to receive who does it depend on that they didn't try and what does he mean by try?

R. It all depends on a person.

S. On his Reshimot records?

R. Of course on the Reshimot, but afterwards how does he realize the Reshimo.

S. What are practical Torah and Commandments?

R. That he will do everything the Kabbalists write relative to the ten as far as he can do it.

S. What are the Commandments?

R. They are actions by which I correct my will to receive to be in order to bestow and I do this with the upper light called Torah.

S. You don't do this alone but with friends?

R. Of course, I have to do it alone and with the help of the friends, everything depends upon me.

Excerpt 6 (01:12:34 -01:14:53)

39. S. (01:15:00) Why is the labor and reward in the imaginary world where we are receiving the real reward?

R. Because by that we rise above our will to receive. That is already true labor, for exertion that I want even when I don't understand like a baby who is making efforts he doesn't know why, what exactly. From his efforts he develops similarly with efforts to rise just a little bit above my will to receive, I develop, it's enough in order to awaken the reforming light, not that it's enough that I can do anything about it, but I awaken the light. Those are the exact same actions that a baby does, this is how we develop.

40. S. (01:16: 07) Is the receiving device the ten, the connection with the friends?

R. I wouldn't get confused, there is a ten through which I bestow to the Creator because the 10 is 1 in spirituality, he feels that, so I am connected to the ten and through this I bestow to the Creator. If I cry out to the Creator alone it's called a cry in the desert, a person standing alone in the desert NS he is crying out from the 10 and no one can hear him. But if I turn to the ten and from the 10I cry out to the Creator He will hear it even if I whisper it.

41. S. (01:17:31) Do you say instead we shouldn't study by intelligence but if my feelings are not certain how can I clarify my study?

R. We also learn with our mind but we have to implement it, actualize it, realize it, in the feeling, but we learn with the intellect and implement it with our feeling because we work with the desire and the desire is a feeling.

42. S. (01:18: 37) Free choice, does it depend upon our ability to perceive reality and rise to the degree of man?

R. We work for that in order to rise in our perception of reality to the degrees of man who resembles the Creator, the more I am included in the 10 and I turn to the Creator, by that I approach Him.

Excerpt 7 (01:19:27- 01:21:50) twice

43. R. The whole difference is with the receivers, the ones who feel and what they feel and from that we get all the wisdom of Kabbalah where each one grabs a form of his own and the Kabbalists write and are able to connect each one of them according to what they perceive and understand and discover from that that we get to complete wisdom. Eventually it will come to a stage where we will see all of reality and this reality will appear to us ultimately and everyone will know me from the littlest to the greatest, this is how it is written.

44. S. (01:22:44) How long will we stay babies in the spiritual work?

R. For a long time, until you grow up, here is where you decide as there is no time in spirituality you decide all of the degrees of the development.

45. S. (01:23:13) When a person goes on the internal correction correctly more and more, how does he perceive reality differently each time?

R. Of course, in each and every state he accepts the ten differently with greater intensity, with greater scrutiny as much as there is different from one another and above it how close they are, how according to the level and degree of the distance of connection, this is in total the level of the group that can approach their Creator and, in that gap, the contrast between the separation and connection, that they can grasp it. They can discover, reveal the light above the darkness, this is the craftsmanship of the Kabbalist.

S. The internal, a transformation a person undergoes does this always influence his perception of what is necessary?

R. Necessity is a negligible thing, a Kabbalist, the more he advances the less he requires, what is corporeality? Corporeality he needs for his animal, it is filled with everything that is needed and not more. You don't give a horse or a cow a box of chocolate, they need hay and grass, water, some wheat or seeds, something that the donkey must have, grain and nothing more than that as the normal beast doesn't need much. This is why necessity is neither condemned nor praised as it should be for each one of us and this is the healthiest thing.

46. S. (01:25:39) You say our eyes are turned inwards and on the other hand it says everything is the clothing of the Creator's, so how do we reconcile this?

R. It is not reconciled if we can create the clothing or garments of the Creator, we can't grasp them, the reflected light is called the garments of the Creator.

47. S. (01:26:17) In order to advance in spirituality can we ask the Creator to change the perception of reality of the friend if he is suffering from something?

R. We have to give examples to all of the friends that it will not interfere with them more than what they can take in their prayer to the Creator. I am to be an example and not more than that.

S. To bestow contentment upon the maker?

R. It means as much as we can rise spiritually, by that we can give contentment and the more that we can next between us this is how we bestow to the Creator, it is simple.

48. S. (01:27:48) Can it be said that the restriction is on the corporeal perception of reality?

R. No, we don't need to restrict our corporeal perception, we have to restrict the use of in order to receive.

S. What is the difference between restriction and not using?

R. Because if I will be able to see things in order to bestow, I can look at this world as well, the Kabbalist lives in this world as well and it doesn't interfere with them. How I cannot explain as I will try to answer you but I would confuse another thousand people and I can't do it.

49. S. (01:28:44) Is there any way to know the scrutiny of your spirituality without knowing TES?

R. The writing of the Kabbalists is a mean for coming closer between us and from us to the Creator, this is why we don't have to learn TES or the Tree of Life, but if we learn it correctly, if we wish to portray everything, we learn there spiritually in our prayer. Our study becomes a prayer, that we wish to be in the right place, in the correct perception. This is why we need to turn Torah into prayer, the study into prayer, a request for the correct perception. As it is written in the book, of course, to just learn as you would from my textbook in school, this is how you would learn the wisdom of Kabbalah, this is completely wrong and is disqualified. This is why the Kabbalists don't draw people into the study, but only those whose heart worries within them, worries about reaching the revelation of the Creator, meaning the force of bestowal.

Excerpt 8 (01:30:54 - 01:34:13) twice

50. S. Does this mean I have in me Moses, David, Rabash, if so if we pray are we praying to the Creator measuring the Rabash prays to the Creator?

R. We don't need to be in place of all of those Kabbalists like Moses, David and Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and so on. We need to be us, however, try and come to our realization each in accordance with his route of his soul to realize oneself and to resemble the Creator each in accordance with his desire and no more than that. This is enough for you, because in that you are observing your soul and are connected to all the rest of the souls to attain everything. But from within your soul, you also can't do it any other way because only that is a given. Through the connection of your soul to the rest of the souls you attain them all. By this you become similar to the Creator. Clear?

51. S. (01:36:11) Why was time created in our world, and in the excerpt, it was written, there is no past or future from the perspective of the upper light, what do we attain when we skip over time?

R. We are in a certain very important axis of time, space, and motion where you can be in reality and depict reality outside of time, time changes, what changes? Outside of a place that is all together is the perception here, so time and space, place, is the main thing, other than that motion, movement also has to do with time. So, the changing in the perception of reality establishes in us the feeling of time and this is how we grasp reality. This happens through the R that are revealed in us each time more and more, from the lighter to the heavier, after the shattering of the vessel of Adam Ha Rishon and this is how we develop. Now we want to develop and then we rush and hasten these Reshimot and develop in a pace and good feeling that we want this development, in order to bestow. If we don’t want to develop, then that development happens to us like, through the press of development and we feel that we have no choice but we have to change, just like humanity till this day. Therefore, Kabbalists say we can hasten times and let's ask the hastening of development.

S. (01:38:26) Why do we say that the perception of reality in the will to receive is not real and in the will to bestow the perception is real, because in both cases we perceive reality in the vessel and not outside of the vessel, so what’s the difference? Why is it not real in the will to receive and it is real in the will to bestow?

R. The will to receive you only feel what’s taking place in your will to receive in a small individualistic way, and it’s not the perception of light, the perception of the actions of the Creator, but rather it is the perception of your desire, only itself. Whereas the perception of reality, the true perception of reality, is where you rise above the perception of the desire to receive which you have and you want to grasp in contradiction to your desire to receive and in order to bestow and then you perceive the upper light, the Creator. That is the great difference between and it is a change in your perception of reality, it is not the same thing at all. As in the perception of reality you grasp yourself, your will to receive and that’s it and in the spiritual perception of reality you grasp the acts of bestowal of the Creator.

S. (01:40:10) You said we have to set an example of connection to the friends; how can we avoid harming through the example you might give?

R. You need to constantly be concerned as much as you are capable to be connected with the friends, to be connected with the Creator and to improve that connection between you. You, the group, the Creator and this mutual connection is something that you want constantly to bring good to it and to ask the group and the Creator for this, to pray through the group to the Creator and then don't worry it will work out well.

52. S. (01:41:10) According to the perception of desires and Israel, it’s true and it is affecting many of the friends who have to go to bomb shelters and they can't be at the lesson. How do you connect this point in our Reshimot, in our records that we have to rise above what is happening, so what is happening in this reality will not affect us or should we relate to things as they are?

R. I'm not sure I understood your question but we need to continue as usual to constantly feel ourselves more and more dependent on one another, also because it influences our spiritual advancement of each and every one and also since it influences the general correction of the whole world. This is how we will advance. I don't see any difference between all the different states that we stood before the pandemic, after the pandemic, before the rocket attack in Israel or now that we are under some bombardment. I don't feel that it is so different. Our work is the same work and it needs to be aimed truly just to the connection between us and the Creator. Also, in the corporeal world and the spiritual world, don’t worry, it's the same thing in this world and the next,

S. (01:43:37) Does this signal anything to be, or should we simply continue?

R. To continue. Already today before the lesson, I was several times in the shelter and not far from here in Petach Tikva, a rocket fell, there was fire and all kinds of things, it was just a few hundred feet from us, well so what? This is what we can’t yet correct along the way, on our path in the right time, so we're inviting upon us, these unpleasant events upon ourselves. Maybe from this we will all awaken, if not through the right actions, then through suffering, what can you do? You don't need to pay attention to this so much but you know this is our life and let's hope that it will pass and hopefully we'll do conventions and meetings together and so on and so forth. I look at these things as corrections as well, they are also corrections even though it is intermingled with a lot of suffering. But if you can’t invest in the correct way, then invest in not the right way, but nevertheless the calculation is a calculation.

53. S. (01:45:31) Does the stretching of time happen in the Klipa, that we have a day, a month, a year?

R. Yes.

54. S. (01:45:56) It is not clear, he says in his eternalness, the past, present and future are as one. The future is as the present, what does this mean? Are we in a correction already, has it happened or are we reconstructing it?

R. I'm not certain what you are asking.

S. He says in his eternalness the past, present and future are as one. The future is as the present, what does this mean?

R. Because there is no time there, if you look at another person and you already know what will happen with him for certain, and he doesn't yet know, then for him there is past present and future and with you, you don't, because you already know what is going to happen. The end of the action is in the initial thought.

S. When we are doing work are we already reconstructing something that has happened before?

R. We need to put forth our efforts in order to reveal the end and the difference between present and future is only our exertion, as much as we put forth exertion, we will shorten the time, we will also bring now what can happen in another thousand years from now as long as we put forth our efforts.

S. When the Zohar was written two thousand years ago, as I understand it, they knew everything that would happen in the future according to this formula?

R. Certainly of course, a Kabbalist is in the future depending which Kabbalist and what degree he is in, but certainly for him the past, present, and future are not what it is for you.

S. So I probably can see the future according to what you say?

R. In general we understand the future and we know what needs to happen in the end of correction, you can ask, but does he also know all of the stages towards the attainment of the future is the question, is it dependent upon him or is it dependent upon the free choice of hundreds of millions of people? And if they have yet to realize their free choice and therefore, they are responsible for this to take place in one way or another. A Kabbalist knows this as well, and does he attain this or not? This is a question and I don't want to solve it. Then you will discover what it means that permission is given and nevertheless, we will get to it as much as we are free in our scrutiny, and our choice and as much and through this we are actually not operating, and not activating everything but that everything has been dictated in advance.

S. So it's all about perception of reality this whole movie?

R. We will live and see, you just be concerned with finishing your personal war with the wicked in you.

55. S. (01:49:50) Past, present, and future, should my perception to agree that everything is the best because it's coming from None Else Besides Him and if so, how do I pass this feeling on to the friends?

R. We need to try to be both in this and in that.

56. S. (01:50:27) We have the obligation to explain the wisdom to the world and it is clear that we are still not successful in doing this in the best possible way, what kind of exertion do we need to do and what do we need to invest in the ten in order to do this in the best possible way so the things that are happening today will no longer happen?

R. All of reality is divided into the inside and the outside. Inside it needs to be me, the ten and the Creator together as much as possible to bring closer these three discernments together into one discernment and besides that I have humanity in addition. Then I need to disseminate as much as possible the ability to correct and reach the end of correction in a short and pleasant way, this is all for us and depends upon us. We have our internal work, I, the ten, the Creator and there is the external work of hours which is I, humanity and the Creator, that is external. To the extent we will be able to correct both the internal and external vessels they will come closer to one another and there will be correction.

57. S. (01:52:06) When Baal HaSulam writes about the perception of reality that we are like an ox with openings that is able to perceive in a certain way what is the difference between spiritual perception and that picture?

R. Spiritual perception is the revelation of the Creator to the created beings.

S. What does it mean the revelation of the Creator by the created being?

R. I don't know how to explain that. You should know that this is the main thing and this is what we need to constantly be drawn to and how to explain it in accordance with equivalence of form. I can tell you a thousand words, but what is it? I cannot say because you are asking about the phenomenon itself, I can tell you the topics of that phenomena, we need to be in order to bestow, to connect between us, to come to the sum of exertion called the quotient, the Seah, and from this effort He will be revealed.

S. It is just that we say, let's say now I see the friends in my ten with my egoistic qualities and now we say that everyone gets together, we connect then what? My egoistic qualities and a screen or add it and that's how I perceived the Creator?

R. Let us say yes.

S. So it turns out that this is some feeling that is added to my ordinary senses?

R. Yes of course you don't get rid of your five senses sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, but in addition you add those five senses that are spiritual which are called coarseness in your desire to receive that you can use in order to bestow and the sefirot would you make into sapphires, into Illuminating ones.

S. What does it mean sight, hearing, the spiritual ones?

R. It is called qualities in the will to receive that became similar to the Creator, to the desire to bestow.

S. What is the difference between the coarseness, what does that mean?

R. The use of the will to receive is opposite.

S. According to the degree?

R. Yes according to the power and the intensity of It.

S. Force of the desire that is in its corrected form is called sight?

R. Yes, the attribute of wisdom is sight and the attribute of understanding is hearing.

S. We build them between us?

R. They are built by the reforming light from our desire to receive that I want to work in in order to bestow.

S. This means that it turns out in us, in the ten a will to receive is revealed so how inside of it do we build spiritual sight or hearing?

R. It is very simple as I want to bestow and then I received the ability to bestow.

58. S. (01:56:22) Does the physical world exist like the rock and the tree today?

R. Of course it exists as we feel it and see it, that is why it exists, what is the question? Does it exist outside of my perception, no, I cannot say that. I can only say at the time when it is in my perception. We need to think about this, but this is actually the perception of reality which will be revealed as we see the spiritual world and it will be clear to us the gap between the perceptions and all these discernments. This is when they will be revealed in a lighter and simpler way.

Excerpt 9 (02:01:03 - 02:02:40) twice

59. S. We are born in a single reality with a single perception of reality then we study the wisdom of Kabbalah and we acquire it like a second reality so we live in two realities, when do we get to the final reality and only have one reality?

R. When you become worthy of it, when you make yourself worthy of it.

60. S. (02:03:13) Baal HaSulam says that there is only me and the Creator, does this mean that this world did not exist, or that this world exists only in my reality and if I wouldn't exist in this reality also doesn't exist?

R. Certainly, and the spiritual reality would this exist or not, tell me? Meaning until we attain the truth, we can't say anything, but about our reality we can only say one thing. This reality exists within the desire to receive, and if we correct this desire to receive and invert it to be in order to bestow then this reality, meaning this world as we call it, needs to disappear. All of its matter will become in order to bestow and from that it will become the spiritual world.

61. S. (02:05:04) About excerpt 8, the past, present and future, we are talking about six hundred years until the end of correction that he has to bring us to the end of correction as he writes here and this is the only true reality. So, this means that our concept of time, of past, present and future, all we have to do is just change it in our values as it's unrelated to time?

R. There is no corporeal time, it is all imaginary time just like this whole world is imaginary, there is no such thing as this corporeal world and all of those discernments of time, space, and movement are all inside the imaginary world also, all is imagination. It exists only so that we will be able to emerge and rise above this imagination, this is why it is written that we were as dreamers, that we need to rise as if from a dream to say, oh what a dream I just had, it was horrible, what a nightmare, When I see that thank God I am awakening and that the light that shines to me is eternal and perfect, that I am amongst the eternal complete souls and that we are all connected to one another in a complete way. The upper light, which is complete, fills us, that's how it is and as long as we are in this dream, we feel ourselves as being in this world with the concept of time, motion and space.

62. S. (02:07:21) There's no one else besides Him, is this from me or like I don't exist?

R. There is None Else Besides Him is considered that there is but one force just like Baal HaSulam writes in his article there is None Else Besides Him in Shamati 1, that there is no other force, there is no other control, no other desire that could do anything against the Creator. But rather one force that operates in reason, the Creator only. What is man? Man was created in such a way that he is opposite, different from the Creator and he needs to do all kinds of efforts in order to bring himself to identify, to resemble and be like the Creator, meaning not to be different from the Creator but that the Creator nevertheless controls and there is None Else Besides Him. Meaning a person needs to detect and locate in himself where he seemingly does not agree with the Creator, where he is breaching the uniqueness of the Creator and this is where he needs to cancel himself and from that notification to do some other action for the Creator, meaning restrictions, screen and reflected light, the Partzufim, until he completes his complete row which is truly the correction of the soul of Adam HaRishon.

63. S. (02:09:18) Has all of reality and all of creation always been in their full glory and perfection?

R. Of course nothing changes, there is no movement or change in the light of Ein Sof, in the Creator, God forbid. But rather it is all in respect to us, in respect to our perception as there is this kind of concealment of time more or less, that we have to work on this concealment and bring it into revelation of the Creator specifically through the concealment.

64. S. (02:10:09) How can we properly take what we have learned in this lesson into the study of TES?

R. We are advancing towards the study of TES and the perception of reality that we are studying today. Should they specifically and how to approach TES correctly, because what are we studying for? It is all in order to change our perception of reality so we will see the true world which is the Creator who is dwelling in the whole of reality and this is how we want to discover Him through our efforts and by that we learn the whole of reality which is really the study TES. How do we correct our vessels gradually, restriction upon restriction, screen and upon screen, all of these spiritual actions. What is the study of TES, it is a sequence of actions of the will to receive which ones to perform on itself in order to resemble the upper light. This is called TES and this is the topic of it.

65. S. (02:11:52) We are talking today the whole lesson long about how the ten is our spiritual Kli for this spiritual reality, in the ten, spiritual qualities of the 10 Sefirot is where we begin to perceive spiritual reality. When does a ten become the 10 Sefirot where we reveal the spiritual reality?

R. Doesn't have to be 10, 10 people, but rather it has to be a connection between them, and effort in the connection between us, between them, such an effort that they truly want to be as one, truly want to resemble the Creator in spite of the ego and the disturbances that they are given. They need to try to connect, that is it.

S. All the friends in the world Kli, we gather, we do zooms, we are in the lesson all of the time so what is missing in this effort so that we will truly be revealed as ten Sefirot?

R. What's missing is concern for the inner effort to be as one man with one heart, it needs a lot of prayer and request for the light to come from above and to shine from us and to show us as right now we don't even feel where we are mistaken.

S. What prayer does there need to be now that we are going out towards the day?

R. I cannot compose a prayer for you because it doesn't emerge out of your heart, out of your pressures and your searches, out of your feeling, lack of orientation, if it doesn't emerge out of that then it won't be a prayer. It shouldn't just be pretty words that I will now dictate for you, it has to emerge from your heart, from the frustration, from the helplessness. It is not that you sing nicely or you know how to say beautiful words, these words have to emerge out of the great frustration. This is why you can't really teach it. I can name you and remind you about this but to teach you how to pray, well you can do that in all kinds of places where the people pray, to go there and you will see how much these things are dirty and untrue.

66. S. (02:15:38) Do we need the ten to make efforts to act or to play, depict that we are ready in the spiritual world in order to develop a deficiency for it?

R. Do whatever is in your power to do.

67. S. (02:15:59) What moves a person from understanding the perception of reality that is correct, we learn and understand that in her frustration from the inability to get there.

R. When you look at the friends and you're envious of them then you make efforts to reach the same state as them, this is what brings you the deficiency, the pain, the sorrow.

.

Excerpt 10 (02:16:35 - 02:17:03)

68. R. We live in that sensation, why? Because as much as the Creator is concealed then I can determine things with my egoistic will to receive, to control and manage if the Creator would be revealed I would be completely nullified, canceled and have no reality in the world. I would feel myself not even like a crumb. This is why we exist only because the Creator is concealed, is not revealed and only on the condition that His revelation will not influence us for the worst, will not cancel us then he can be revealed. This is why He cares for us to have a reality in His world so that we can acquire a reality so that His existence will not cancel our reality, too that the degree is revealed and we need to think about these words. If you will ask then we can talk about it also.

69. S. (02:18:17) This feeling of coming closer to the Creator, is it connected to the perception of None Else Besides Him?

R. Well of course it is, it stems from there is None Else Besides Him to the extent that we can restrict and seemingly we do not exist and then there is None Else Besides Him. The Creator wants us to exist with our full ego as well as him, that he will also be None Else Besides Him, meaning that we will correct are you go in such a way that the ego will even amplify the existence of the Creator 620 times more. Then we reach such great corrections where the Creator truly becomes king over the whole of reality, over the entire will to receive and this is our entire work. Just to make a restriction over the will to receive is not, how should I put it, out of that no benefit comes. The benefit is in us making the will to receive in order to bestow and then we actually amplify the Creator as present in the world, this is considered that we are making Him a king.

70. S. (02:20:28) In the previous lessons where we learn that we need to depict ourselves the future corrected states of ours, but where we perceive and grasp our future corrected states will we be correcting? Because even the current state is imaginary and not correct and real so where do we get the foundation to build the future states that we seemingly need to depict between us?

R. Between us we need to build the right relation in order to bestow and out of that when we prepare such infrastructure the Creator will follow in them and He will be the king over the Earth, over the entire desire.

71. S. (02:21:28) The Creator can be revealed only to the extent He doesn't harm us, what does this mean?

R. The Creator is willing to be revealed in the created beings on the condition that they will have freedom of choice and that they out of their own will ask of him to give him the force of bestowal and then he will fill up their entire will to receive with the force of bestowal and the Creator will be revealed in that force of bestowal.

Excerpt 11 (02:22:09 - 02:22:45)

72. R. In the end we attain whatever enters into the will to receive, it needs to be with the intention to bestow in that, this is obvious otherwise we won't feel the Creator. Our whole ability to attain something is to attain the Creator according to the degree of our intention of an order to bestow, so this is what we do. He says here we cannot attain any reality in itself, but rather reality as it is in Ein Sof, we are created beings, we can receive something only according to our sensations. In reality as it is in itself it is of no interest to us, so we are not capable of it, we have no approach to it, we do not grasp it at all in any sense. We do not attain the Torah which is the light which is outside of us. We attain only our sensations, all of our impressions or from our sensations. Whatever we attain, whatever enters into our vessel accordingly is our attainment, accordingly, is our sensation or feeling of life, our vitality.

Excerpt 12 (02:24:20 - 02:25:48)

73. R. We will continue with 13 tomorrow, I recommend to you to go over the materials that we had today and this topic the perception of reality is very important and very much related to what we want to be revealed in us, look at whatever questions that you have and I think that the questions you will ask if you seriously go over these materials, they will be worthwhile for us to answer them. Because nevertheless it will expand even more our vessel. We are done, we are finishing the lesson with this and we will continue discussing the lesson and tomorrow to come with questions about the perception of reality, whatever you see here according to the excerpts, even in general if it's not according to the material. There are a lot of materials according to the perception of reality in the archive, so go ahead and read and with this you will discover it.
