1. Rav’s Introduction:

We will continue because we have no choice, we only have two forces in reality, the force of bestowal and the force of reception. We are all made of the force of reception, our whole world. What do you mean - the world of reception? There's a force of bestowal in us, there's plus and a minus. But our giving is also because at the end of the day we want to profit. We want to succeed, and that's why it is called reception. In spirituality everything is measured according to the intention and not according to the action itself. And I may be giving, giving, giving to thousands of people every day, yet at the end of the day it is reception and not bestowal, as our world is made of two forces reception and bestowal, plus and minus in practice. But according to intention we're all in reception, the will to receive, the intention to receive, the tendency to receive, the goal to receive; as it's written everything they do they do for themselves”. Everything we do to bestow, we bestow to ourselves. And there's yet another level of existence, which is the intention to bestow. And there it doesn't matter what I do in practice, whether the giving or the receiving. Everything is measured according to the intention. When I think of the other, how important the other is compared to me and if that's the case, then I'm bestowing to him. So, my entire work is to increase, to raise the importance of the friends and the Creator in my eyes to such an extent, that they come first and later I come. It's like a mother relative to her baby, first him then her, that's how we need to work. Everything depends on the importance of everything is it about me or everything outside of me, if it's I first, it's this world, if it's he or them first, it's the upper world and the difference is huge, because the inclination, the intention becomes our perception of reality, instead of this reality according to the intention to receive another reality according to the intention where the importance lies outside of me. To go from importance to myself to importance to that which is outside of me is called moving from this world to the next, crossing the barrier and going through the restriction. We, each and every moment, need to try and build this attitude between this world and the next world where everything depends on the intention, the importance, what's more important. What's more important today and if that's the case, let's go to our excerpts as they write exactly how to aim ourselves to in order to bestow, to faith above reason, the quality of the Creator, where we will see the second half of reality under which we are activated, we work, we come from there and we return to there.

*Excerpt #38 Reader (04:44 -06:54)*

2. R. What's going on here, typically when I work in the wisdom of Kabbalah with the friends, in the study, everywhere, I feel I'm in concealment, I wish to remove concealment, I want everything to open up before me for things to be clear. If I'm not so aware of the fact of what I'm doing now that I want things to be clear, to open up means that I wish to receive spirituality inside of me in my reason and within reason if I receive it there it will a Klipot, so they'll never let me receive it this way there's a law from above only according to how much I want to be in spirituality above the will to receive there I can discover spirituality to that extent. So instead of asking to cancel the boundaries and feel spirituality inside of me as I am, only to ask to rise and be in spirituality, to bestow to give and then I will discover everything, that is there.

3. S. (8:26) He writes here about the thoughts that strike a person in trouble, should I ask to be above these thoughts in bestowal and connection with the friends?

R. The fact that I get a certain attitude towards first spirituality and I want to receive it inside of me in my will to receive, within reason, this is what the Creator gives me the condition is preparation, this kind of data, the parameters above which I need to yearn to be the opposite to the contrary to these inclinations of mine, to reveal them more than reason. To be above reason that I need, that I want to be in bestowal I want to rise above my ego and I don't want to know and receive and feel in the way I normally do in my vessels. Rather in giving, in connection above my ego. this then will be called spirituality in order to bestow and I will discover what truly exists above my egoistic desire. It will be the Creator of the attitude of the Creator to the created being. That is what I will discover.

S. What vessels does the filling above the screen happen?

R. The intention to bestow, not in the vessels of the will to receive but in the vessels of bestowal, in the intention to bestow just like yesterday we learned in TES, the study of Ten Sefirot there's a desire and there's an intention, we will learn about it today probably continue it.

4. S. (10:45) You said in the beginning that instead of asking for the filling inside of me I have to ask to be in spirituality, to give to bestow and then it will be there, then who is me, I won't be me anymore?

R. From within me, from within my desire, for the time I'm not discerning who I am so I don't want to just get spirituality in my desire, I first want to be in bestowal, in giving, on the other side of spirituality. Adhered to the Creator, into the friends, disconnected from my will to receive, that should be my inclination. For me to rise to a higher degree above the level of this world, otherwise I'll stay on the end of the level.

S. Does this confusion I want to disconnect from me, it's confusing?

R. Yes, there's two of us, there's a point in the heart and there's the desire. I wished to work from the point in the heart and I wish to raise it above my egoistic desire. That point in the heart that I have this is why I rise to spirituality, this is a Godly part from above, I want to glue it to the place from which it came from. and then when I try and I ask through the friends to disconnect from my ego and cleave to the upper one and then I'll be able to start working there with the desire, in attaching the point in the heart to the desire.

5. S. (12:56) It's written in the text that the Creator enjoy just ....why is this specifically what the Creator enjoys, it's not said that he's enjoying when the man overcome, he's specifically the striking between the thoughts that he enjoy, why?

R. Because these blows are the kind of blows that don't come to a person but to the will to receive the Creator created. We need to distinguish, we need to divide ourselves into at least two parts, there's the “I”, the Divine part from above. This is called Adam in me and there's the will to receive which belongs to the animal in me and I want to be above my animal. I need to ride the donkey, the Chomer, the matter and advance in this way, that's why in many instances in the Zohar, in Kabbalah we hear the story about a person riding a donkey. The donkey, the one who leads the donkey, we need not to ascribe ourselves not to the body but to the soul so the Divine part from above so its bestowal.

6. S. (14:37) What is the meaning, what do you mean, when you say work above the vessels of reception?

R. Let's say a mother who cares for a baby, she does it because her desire or her nature obligates her to do it and we see it. We don't need to say to a mother tell my mother to love her baby, to care for it, rather her nature obligates her. We need to come to a state where we care for what is outside of us felt as friends, all of humanity, the Creator. We need to come to it without our feeling, feeling an inclination towards it, we don't have any inclination for it, but we have to develop such love as an attitude like a mother towards her baby. Where does it come from? From our attitude to the Creator, from the point in the heart which draws a student, pulls us, it pulls us egoistically, and we need to turn it into an altruistic form and this is the work, we have preparations in us because we gather in those people who have some connection with the Creator. One point of correction what does it mean the point of connection, what does it explain to us the kind of connection we have because this is something we have received from above Kabbalists give to us in order to give us free choice you want to come to the Creator, resemble the Creator, go ahead, you need to develop your will to bestow on top of your will to receive. Gradually educate ourselves, towards acts of bestowal until we come to the Creator and we are called Adam.

7. S. (17:32) It's written here that a person has a screen and he also supports it, so the feeling of the screen is as real as the hands of the movement?

R. It's simple, a screen, what does it mean? A screen means that I have a screen by which I can bestow to you, what does that mean, very simple, that in my eyes you become more important to me than myself. That means I have a screen, that's it, importance. If you are more important than me like a mother who's obligated by Nature. It's not only with the mother, also with animals, the beasts, why everyone, the entire animal world cares for their offspring, because nature obligates. With us nature does not obligate, I have a point of interest in the Creator only that I wish to discover him, but not in order to bestow to him, to love him, that I don't have this. But with a suitable environment I can bring myself to such a degree of importance that the Creator is important, the friends are important. It's worthwhile to disconnect from the importance of this world and enter the importance of the spiritual world, enter the importance of bestowal, more than reception this is the meaning of establishing a restriction in me. I don't receive because it's more important to be in bestowal. This is done with the help of the environment and the reforming light, this is our work.

8. S. (19:57) From your experience, it's difficult for us to understand that split between coming out of ourselves, do you have any recommendations that will make it easier on us or the new friends to get this point from which we have to rise above the will to receive and work above reason?

R. First of all at least one more time a day you need to re-listen to the lesson because from one time hearing the lesson, right now you can't really absorb it. So I recommend take a piece of paper or those who are not used to writing at all, can use a computer, those as well and listen to the lesson and write down the important things. What did you write, do you see a certain connection between them, between logic cause and effect, why is it so and so on. Then it will become clear to you, you made the lesson. In Hebrew lesson is not a lesson, Shiur in Hebrew is also a certain measure, a certain portion, a quota that you swallow, it enters you and it gets digested. So try to do it like that if you're asking, when will we have it, what will happen, you'll see according to the way you absorb the lesson, what do you have and what are you still lacking and then we'll be able to advance more tangibly from lesson to lesson.

9. S. (22:09) Until we get a Masach, a screen, can we work from within the point in the heart towards the quality of the soul?

R. The point in the heart exists in each and every person, in all people. those who develop or who didn't develop it doesn't matter if they belong to the humans or not animal, donkeys horses it doesn't matter, if he belongs to humans even the most primitive who lives in the jungle somewhere it doesn't matter he's got a point in the heart. The question is to what extent it awakens in him or not. In our times today it awakens many people around the world and then gradually they all discover it and we'll look for ways to fill the point in the heart to develop it and then we'll come and for this we need to publicize ourselves all over the world in all the languages. So we're advancing those who have more points, everyone's advancing this is our entire asset we've accumulated from this life here within the framework of this world.

10. S. (24:05) Can you explain why it's so important to get to listen to the morning lesson again to get the portion in the morning lesson?

R. In the morning lesson I need to be connected to the ten, with the ten and from the ten I wish to draw the reforming light so that it will connect us a bit more than yesterday. Throughout the actions which deeds will come to a state where we will be connected internally between all the points in the heart into one point and then we'll begin to discover that we're connected with the Creator will have one point with the Creator attached to it. This will be our drop of semen, spiritual semen from which we will begin to develop from an embryo, a spiritual embryo all of us together with our 248 organs 365 tendons. That's how we'll develop and will begin to feel in various changes and through these changes, through these parts we begin to organize between us we begin to discover between us the Creator, BoReh, come and see how the connection system between us this field is revealed the connection the all inclusive piece this is the Creator that's how the revelation of the Creator should come to you, to me, to us

11. S. (26:06) It is written in a text that I asked her building the screen, it's important to strengthen the screen, how do we do it?

R. We constantly yearn for more and more connection between us to give the Creator a place to be revealed in order to give him contentment through that.

12. S. (26:35) In this excerpt Rabash calls the Masach, the screen, the trial, why?

R. Every spiritual attainment is the test they give a person because they need to pass this test in order to bestow not in order to receive each time the tendency grows farther. In spirituality cannot stand in place, you cannot rest or sit down, although you constantly move forward, that's why it's called a test, but there are many tests and we will learn in the Torah, wherever it's learned about those tests that all receive, all the protagonists in the Torah.

13. S. (27:40) Regarding these thoughts that strike the screen, how should I relate to that should I silence them, overcome them, strengthen the screen?

R. I need to overcome all those thoughts because they are sent to me like all other instances in life so that I will rise above connections to the friends and to The Creator. This is called that I'm going above reason, my reason is my state, what I see, think and feel and I need to constantly rise above reason for the sake of the Creator and for the society, and bestowal, everyone outside of me in short. This is the correct reaction to everything the Creator is arranging in me each and every moment.

*Excerpt #39 Reader (28:47 - 30:38)*

14. R. Very interesting thing what he tells us here, Baal HaSulam writes, first of all he says a spiritual vessel is called faith above reason. It’s not the will to receive, the desire cannot be a vessel, it is a foundation over which we build the vessel to resemble the Creator as possible only if we build a force of bestowal above the desire, faith above reason, reason is desire and faith, the force of bestowal, above reason that is what we need to do. It is not simply a side principle, faith above reason, but it is the essence of the spiritual Kli bestowal above reception. Now what does he say? Purification of the screen which occurs in the Partzuf causes the departure of the light and when the screen gets purified the light departs, after a restriction then a person is after the restriction, the light is captured only in the vessel of the screen, which is the rejecting force. This is the essence of the vessel meaning the rejecting force that comes from the screen towards the upper light, a nice good that is felt, that is understood, that it needs to be rejected I don't need to receive it when it arrives like the guest receives various things from the host various tasty morsels from the host, he does not receive it. When the light departs to this means that the vessel is considered faith above reason and then the light appears. if there is rejection and that rejection when I reject it from receiving directly, I build the vessel from that and then the light appears according to my rejection, meaning the reflected light I make in that I can receive the Direct light that it clothes in the reflected light and when the light appears, then it is nature, the nature is to thin out the vessel to cancel the vessel of faith, Why? How come I work so hard on being in the vessel of faith, not to receive only to bestow, not to reject and now the light comes, clothes and appears and by that it cancels my force of faith, my force of rejection. Because this is so, meaning that it comes in the form of knowing in him, the light immediately departs from him thus we should see To increase the vessel of faith, meaning the screen over the knowing and then when I started to receive something I need to immediately think how can I more and more develop this reflected light, this vessel of faith in me. Since I want to bestow more and more otherwise the light comes and clothes in me will cancel the force of the screen, the force of restriction, the force of bestowal. Then meaning it's like one sitting in front of the host and I'm starting to eat for the sake of the host and then these flavors grab me and obligate me to eat for myself for my own state. Then the abundance will not stop from him if I relate to it and this way where I constantly think of the host and I demand the reflected light and this is the meaning of each vessel being deficient of light. That it is not filled by the light it lacks, every place the lack becomes a place of faith, meaning of if I have the feeling of emptiness, the place of emptiness, I need to raise it in the light of faith, the light of Hassadim however if it were filled, this place, meaning in the light of Hochma there would be no possibility for a vessel and a place for faith and everything departs

15. S. (36:05) He seems to direct this less the labor and more to faith?

R. We constantly have to worry about faith, reflected light, bestowal.

S. So what does it mean know the Lord your God?

R. Know the Lord your God, you will get to know specifically when you develop a vessel of faith of bestowal, since when you're doing the act of bestowal you will know what the Creator does towards you, adhesion happens not according to how much you receive from the Creator but how much you make yourself similar to the Creator, resembling the Creator as in faith above reason.

S. So if a person wants to know how the Creator tends to him, he needs to bestow all the time and by bestowing he learned his ways?

R. He needs to think constantly only of bestowal if the fulfillment comes his way, fine he doesn't reject the fulfillment, but he thinks only about bestowal tendency toward bestowal will accompany him and will correctly teach how to relate to the fulfillment and the fulfillment will be clothed in the force of bestowal and the direct light is clothed in reflected light.

16. S. (37:45) From what is faith made, what does it consist of?

R. Faith is made of the egoistic will to receive over which there is restriction a screen and then reflected light and to the extent that the reflected light comes, this is the height, the size of your faith.

17. S. (38:16) We connected in the ten we want to build this reflected light what does it mean in what way?

R. The light that comes from the Creator, direct light appears according to reflected light and to the extent the vessel has faith above reason, meaning it rises in bestowal to the Creator in that tendency to bestow to the Creator the upper light comes and clothes in it. The host understands that the guest rejects, keeps himself from receiving, then he helps the guest to be in bestowal, let him receive only for me, he's asking the Creator do me a favor, take it look how Good this is, give me pleasure. Give me pleasure in this and in this and in that eat a little bit it will be very pleasant for me if you do it, then the guests does it for the sake of the host, he is certain that he is doing it for the sake of the host. He has to check himself and to the extent that he's taking something to his mouth, oh I have something here, if I take it I have something here, from a few weeks old, let's say this chocolate and I eat it, then I know that I'm not tasting the taste of chocolate no. I wish to taste the taste of my bestowal to the Creator how much the Creator enjoys when I do it for His sake, so first of all it turns out that the inner light that enters the vessel after the reflected light mating and the striking and the clothing of the direct light inside the reflected light and you get the inner light. When the guests feel it is made of many parts, many components, that is the rejection of the host above what the Creator wants to give him. To the extent to which the rejection of the host rejects the Creator let's say restriction and he understands how much he has to receive from the Creator and bestowed to him and not himself otherwise it will seem like a Klipot, a shell. How he develops his attitude in order to bestow and to give. How they clothe one another, direct light and reflected light before the reception, this is called the Rosh of the Partzuf, there the reflected light from the guest clothes with the direct light from the host, how much I will receive from the host to know I am giving to the host and by that I give him contentment. I also need to be in joy from what I receive as their is dual pleasure here, pleasure from giving to the host and the host receives pleasure from me and the host can receive pleasure on the condition that I receive from him and enjoy what he is giving so after the restriction I open up my will receive joy that which I received from the host let's say that piece of chocolate. I need to enjoy it otherwise the host will not enjoy it but I am now enjoy it in this wrapper that I have around the taste of the chocolate the greatness and importance of the host and it turns that I taste of chocolate but 620 times more than what's actually in it. I am tasting the spiritual flavors in it, I feel the host my attitude towards him in adhesion, it's all done as a result of a correct action to correct calculation between the guest and the host.

S. You just said amazing things, but the question is how when the pleasure comes you see, to the importance of the host?

R. A person is under the restriction that he creates and maintains it and he develops an attitude to the Creator from within the restriction.

18. S. (43:58) If in the preliminary thought are we capable of holding an attitude until the end of the result which is to give the Creator pleasure or how can this affect or how does he relate if we hold on and how do we hold on to it?

R. We need to try and perform the action as we just discussed, we make mistakes or we don't, it's like a baby who's shown how to eat properly. You seen what's happening, he pours, spills everything on the table and starts to eat from the table, put it back into the plate and eat from the plate and we are the same in spirituality and worse. But it's nice because we wish to resemble the Creator we wish to connect to him through that and that's why it's so pleasing to him, this is called bestowing contentment to him. Whether our actions are spiritual either way nevertheless we yearn, this yearning, these actions are extremely pleasant and dear to the Creator as we see the baby who was trying to look at us and he's trying to emulate us, so try to do it. We will see just how much contentment you give the Creator how much good you gave him.

19. S. (46:01) From what we've heard in terms of an action without an intention is an incorrect action and it's truly happening on the egoistic level it's not aimed at faith above reason. The question is, when I perform an action against my reason, it's not an action above reason, so what is it how to check the intention since it's always egoistic?

R. Let's say I want to do something and then I decide to do the opposite, what for, why? Who compels me? Who benefits from it? I have to answer this. I often, many times in life I do things I don't want to, but I have no choice. I have to go to work, I have to do all kinds of things at home, in life, toward people. It's not regarded as doing it in order to bestow, it's what everyone does. It’s because we all have to exist. So, we relinquish a small ego before a greater ego. When I act towards spirituality, there's no benefit here towards my ego. If I am calculating now, it means I am still what it's called Lo Lishma, not for Her Sake, but I'm still approaching a state of wanting to do it in order to bestow, without any connection to me and then I have to imagine what it means that I work for someone or something or not at all, for no one. This will be called for the Creator, we learn how to do it through the group. This is how we will gradually approach and see.

20. S. (48:29) It says that if the place is filled with light there will not be any place for faith. Does that mean that the guest has an incorrect intention for receiving the pleasure for the host?

R. No if I were in the right action and wanted to do it in order to bestow and I made the restriction and I only want to work for the sake of the Creator and I really exerted that it won't be for my own sake. I checked it, in the group that I want to do it through the group, with the group together. Now the question is, let's say I get some response from the Creator so how should I continue? What exactly were you asking, repeat the question.

S. The question is, in the article it says, if the place will be filled with light there will be no room for faith. I want to understand if it means that the absence is the correct intention?

R. No. If I perform the right operation through the group to the Creator and I received from Him some light. That light that comes to me cancels my vessel because I am already in knowing, even though I received it with faith above reason, it impels me to develop higher faith above reason. That way the light comes and cancels my vessel. This is called, causing the refinement, the Hizdakchut of the vessel. There was Galgalta, it was refined, AB it’s refined, SAG it’s refined. Where does it come from? From working in order to bestow correctly and receiving Inner Light and the Inner Light cancels the screen and it creates a lesser and lesser screen each time. This is what we learn about the cascading from above downwards in the building of the worlds, in building the souls we will learn how to rise from below upward. We will learn it. Good questions. Correct ones.

21. S. (51:21) I understand that the guest is getting close to the landlord through faith so when is the role of Hassadim starting?

R. Hassadim, Mercy and Faith are one in the same. Hassadim and Faith are one in the same. It is the same force of bestowal.

22. S. (52:05) The restriction is that an action by man or a result of the work of man on the importance of the friends?

R. The restriction is a result of work with the friends, the Creator is within them and gradually it operates on me and compels me, explains to me, shows me how important it is to restrict my desire to receive for myself. Meaning thoughts for myself, desires for myself. They are mainly thoughts for myself. So I will not think of me but only of the group and the Creator. This is a result of the influence of the Creator on me through the group and this is how I come to it. I come to it through many desperations, falls, helplessness, disorientation. I don't know where I am, why it's like that. After a long time, a long time. That's the way it is. It's as Rabash tells me, Baal HaSulam was very happy that he found the book that talked about the spiritual world. With his teacher, where he went to his teacher's house he saw that there was a book there. He picked it up, looked at it and saw that it was the ARI's Etz Chaim, Tree of Life. He didn't know even such a thing existed. He wanted to know so much and then all of a sudden his teacher walked in and said no no no, put it back. But he already knew what it was about and quickly went to town, his teacher was living in the village, so he went to town, he went back to Warsaw into a store and bought this book and thought that this is it, now everything will open up to me. And Rabash says, when he told me this, he said he didn't know that it would take him 20 years before he would see and feel and understand what he is reading. That's the way it is, it is building, it is the construction of the Soul, it's a very complicated structure and therefore it takes time.

23. S. (55:10) It's written here that for that we needed to increase the vessel of faith, a place of faith above reason, what does it mean, screen above reason?

R. It means above knowing we want to spread over it the force of Faith the force of bestowal we don't know what it is yet, it seems to us like labor or something like knowing is something that we can keep it certain and faith is something that is blurry and kind of disappearing in the air. It is not so. We have to feel once what faith is and how that force, it's the force of the Creator, it is the force that is higher than the force of knowing because it is unlimited and then we will understand that our relation to the word faith to the power of faith stems from our beastliness in this world.

24. S. (56:39) How in the ten can we constantly worry about developing faith?

R. Connection between you only. There is nothing else you have all the literature translated recorded and arranged and organized. It all depends on you. Try in the group mainly in the connection of the connection between you to build the condition for the revelation of Godliness

25. S. (57:17) How are we receiving this opportunity above to go to the Creator is it possible is it personal work?

R. It will become clarified bit by bit the more you connect among yourself and feel that you can cancel, remove the partitions between you and the Creator that are yearning for the Creator in the ten, we want these yearnings and these inclinations to connect them. We don’t annul before each other, it’s like a bouquet. We have many kinds of plants there, and we only put them together. That's why, this is how we need to connect to strengthen one another and it will happen, but what's important is to cancel the partitions between us, okay?

26. S. (58:55) On the one hand we learn that the spiritual vessel is reflected light. It's the intention to bestow, my tendency to bestow above my reception for myself. On the other hand we learned that reflected light is not a true vessel, it's only the roots of the vessel?

R. The reflected light still needs to connect to the will to receive. For now it only rises above the will to receive to the host and the real vessel when the reflected light returns and dresses in that vessel, in the desire of the vessel and the desire of the vessel with the reflected light that covers it within becomes the place of the revelation of the Creator. What is called Inner Light.

27. S. (01:00:02) If you can tell us what is the difference between the test and the vessel of knowing and how they work together?

R. What is the difference between experience and knowledge? Through experience when we want to increase it, to intensify it we come to know, but this experience is related to bestowal to connection to all kinds of states we go through until we get to the right vessel of knowing. The purpose of creation is to know. Know the Lord your God and serve Him. That’s what it says. In other words, a vessel of faith is a condition for us by which we can resemble the Creator, reveal the Creator but when he's revealed we come to know, and Adam knew Eve, his wife. We come to a Zivug de Hakaa, coupling by striking, to the Creator, it's a connection, a mutual connection “I for My Beloved and my Beloved for Me”.

*Excerpt #40 Reader (01:01:38 - 01:03:14)*

28. R. Something very special happens here. It comes in order to elevate a person to a higher degree. He made the Kli of faith bestowal above his ego, it's called above reason, he wants to be in bestowal like the Creator to Him, he the Creator as well and he discovers his relation to the Creator and the Creator’s relation to him and here the question is does he want to receive it in his vessels or not? If he receives it in his own vessels it means he is lowering himself from above reason to within reason, from faith to knowing. Not knowing in faith, but knowing in his own place, in his vessels of reception. Then of course a person must remain on the level of faith, that is to say, I am in bestowal upon the Creator, although the Creator gives me every possibility to be in vessels of knowing. Say, with that example of the thousand dollars in the envelope, I received these thousand dollars in the envelope because the Creator wants me to receive it. I receive it so either I don't check it, completely or I do check it, or what do I do with it? If I check and see if a thousand dollars it's called faith within reason, reason and faith are the same. If I don't check it I remain in faith above reason but by this I didn’t advance. If I open the envelope and I see that instead of the $1,000 there's for example $1 there and I accept it as if it's $1,000 and I raise myself to the level of they have eyes and do not see. By that I am rewarded with a higher degree. Meaning to the extent that I'm constantly between reason and faith above reason, I constantly rise higher to the form of bestowal and adhesion with the Creator. Right now we don't understand it, I feel this on you. But really, this is the means, the lever that can elevate us higher and higher to higher and higher degrees each time.

29. S. (01:06:28) When even a small illumination comes there's a feeling that you simply fall into it, can’t overcome it...How do you correctly realize this experience?

R. I'm very happy to hear this from you because you're always confident of your intellect and now you already experienced that you can't deal with it, can't cope with it. That’s correct. Now what you need is only to be included with the environment, the influence of the environment is still deficient. Try to come to the morning lesson in a way that you are uncertain, you don't know, you don't understand, you don't feel and you don't know what to do, and start being included, mingle with the friends in the half hour of preparation that you have before the lesson. You will see how much power you get from it, how much understanding and feeling you get from it. Suddenly something opens up to you, to feel differently, to think differently. It's not some sedative or tranquilizer, it's something that opens your mind and your heart. Where does it come from? From being included in a bigger vessel than your own. This is how we should advance. You will see how it will help you. You can do it.

30. S. (01:08:15) I want to clarify about the difference between the desire that is filled before the restriction and the screen and the desire that's filled later with the reflected/inner light, what's the difference between these two vessels? Is it the same vessel or a different one?

R. It's something completely different, completely different. A vessel in which I already enjoy for myself, to receive something according to my desire or a vessel in which I want to satisfy and to feel the Creator, that's according to His level. To the extent that I expand my vessel in terms of height, to the extent that you respect Him, bless Him, exalt Him in your eyes, to that extent you fill Him and also to that extent you also become filled, yourself. What does it mean to be greater than 620 times? It is when you prepare this Kli that you prepare to feel the Creator basically from zero.

S. Is there any point when we need to overcome direct light? Is there any point in increasing the importance of the pleasure that could be received after the work or simply to grow the importance of the Creator and the friends?

R. You said it right, of the friends. Try it. You are sitting together with the friends, if you become a little bit annulled before them and feel their importance, how they are important to you to attain the Creator to feel the Creator, you will see that you have a bigger Kli. Only by this do you grow from 1 to 0, from 1 to 0, that's how you rise each time.

S. So, don't look at the difference in the pleasure that could be received between before and after but to look and to work only in the greatness of the friends, the engine is not the difference in pleasure...

R. Look at the difference in the pleasure and how the pleasure was corporeal and with the friends, it's spiritual. You’ll see each time and it doesn't matter what degree we’re in, pleasure alone is always corporeal, with the friends it is spiritual.

31. S. (01:11:13) What is the calculation a person has to make now in the lesson, you're giving so many gifts, how do you make the calculation?

R. You repeat them afterwards in the group. Even if it takes an hour or two and thank the friends because if you weren't connected you wouldn't feel anything new. I'm totally serious. I, too, if I didn't give it to students, to the group that connects and that wants, I wouldn't be discovering anything new. Now for me each lesson is also innovations, new things because we have all kinds of groups connecting new ways between them and these new connections reveal the presence of the Creator each time in a new way. It's called, the righteous sitting and enjoying the brightness of the Shechina, divinity. The brightness of the Shechina is like waves in the ocean where the connections between them change all the time and bring you new colors

S. Reject something in the lesson?

R. Only to connect. Everything that disrupts connection, reject it. I don't think you need to reject it, because if you need to be gathered together more and more, meaning you still don't have real Klipot yet they will come later, but you still don't really want to kill each other, it will come.

32. S. (01:13:30) Another que in the shade of work, there's an expression that it is better to be wrong together than right by myself. When It seems to me that I am seemingly right but then I am included in this vessel of faith above reason, by remembering that expression, here is my correct work?

R. Correct. It is very important that despite the intellect and all the calculations, it is very important to always be connected to the group.

33. S. (01:14:23)

R. A person wants to go with faith above reason for two reasons. The first is, he tried all kinds of means to attain spirituality, within reason, and sees that it didn't work out and will not work out according to what Kabbalists are saying, his is number one. Number two, he looks at the friends. Sometimes it seems to them like he is higher than them, sometimes lower than them. He has all kinds of states and in them he acquires the importance to go above his intellect because he sees that his intellect doesn't attain anything for him. Also, what the Sages tell us, Baal HaSulam, Rabash and all the others and written in the Zohar and the other books. It is all written only about how to come out into faith above reception, the force of bestowal above the force of reception. Let's do it artificially as much as possible, as much as we can, artificially and then we will draw the reforming light which will build the connections between us, not in an artificial way but true connections of bestowal this is how we will advance.

34. S. (01:16:22) To continue the topic of faith above reason, the greatness of the friends. Within reason, I come with five friends, but I believe that the whole ten is with us.

R. Yes, you have to accept the whole ten as connected besides you as much as possible. As much as possible you have to bestow upon the connection with them and be connected with them.

35. S. (01:16:54)

R. Try to build one heart, prepare it for bestowal of the Creator. The Creator wants to pour into you all of spirituality so that it will be revealed in your Kli. But you don't connect in such a way that even one portion that is the smallest, he can't give it to you because that one portion needs to have a vessel and the vessel has to hold it. This cup even if it is small there needs to be a complete cup and we don't give this connection the shape of a cup.

36. S. (01:18:10) The condition for each reception has to be the greatness of the giver which is what I can receive from the ten through my annulment and service to the friends, by raising the importance of the friends?

R. The importance of the friends is the main thing.

37. S. (01:18:39) This was also my question, to establish it practically, to hold onto faith above reason, to build a screen and the means is the greatness of the friends. Can I understand it practically this way?

R. Yes.

38. S. (01:19:04) A person can turn to the Creator only for the friends to the extent of their importance?

R. Yes only for this.

39. S. (01:19:22) I have this yearning for the Creator, I wish to break that barrier, to absorb the yearning of the friends, how?

R. First of all by making yourself into a zero, otherwise it's you wanting, you who wants, so you have to diminish yourself and do everything possible to connect the friends, by managing to connect them then you turn to the Creator. You can turn to the Creator before that as well but with a request from Him to help you connect the friends. Start by being smaller than they are.
