Faith Above Reason - Selected Excerpts from the Sources. #56

1.Rav’s Introduction: Yes, the faith above reason means that we replace the way we are looking at things from our broken vessels to looking at the reality ourselves through the quality of reception. Instead we should look through the quality of bestowal, above our quality of reception until we come to a state where we understand and feel, we think like the upper force. We begin to live in the quality of bestowal and that this is a change, a special transformation and in essence we have nothing more to do than just to cross the barrier, the Machsom and start feeling reality through the force of bestowal and not through the force reception and to rise more and more in this absorption of the force of bestowal and the raising the force of faith above our reason. Accordingly, our reason will also grow more and more, therefore anybody who is progressing in faith above reason also has a greater reason this is why we become smarter. Although each time we are going above the reason because their broken vessels are constantly getting renewed to give an opportunity to rise above these broken vessels into faith above reason.

They acquire as they make their corrections also greater reason and greater faith, and this is how we advance. These two forces are what we have in nature, the force of faith is the force of the Creator, the force of bestowal; and the force of the reception is the force of the created beings, and the corrected created being has to be made of these two forces. The force of reception and force of bestowal one on top of the other and the generally speaking the entire method to rising from the degree of the created being to the Creator, from corruption to correction, from shattering to something complete, this is the extent to which we rise in the force of faith above the force of reason, and we cannot have one without the other relative to the created being. The force of bestowal to us is the Creator but when we build the force of bestowal in us, then we can do this, we can build this only on the top of our force of reception which is our nature. This is how we progress so let us continue working with this, we will have questions again, we will have answers again and we have to go many times each and every time above each and every text today. According to how much each can do this, you should take this text and read them, try to understand them, try to understand their inner essence in each text and that try to have a new view on things that is called the inner vision, Histaklut Pnimit, and this is how we advance.

Excerpt 56 (04:49) Twice

2. R. (06:19) Yes, because in the force of faith we can understand what he is talking about. This is a perception of reality, of spirituality, it is a new perception. It is a perception by which we understand the Creator. We can understand the essence of his actions and then we will have no more questions because when we begin to relate to all of reality at least to a small extent like the Creator the way he is looking at this reality. Then it becomes clear to us what is his intention, what he thinks. If we can talk about Him the way you speak about a person. Reluctantly we have to depict it in this way in order to advance. It turns out that only when we walk in faith above reason more and more, we adapt ourselves to be like the Creator we begin to feel and understand what exactly he wants from us, and how he understands and feels our actions. There is no correct language but at least in this way we can speak about it for the time being.

3. S. (08:11) According to what we can understand the essence of the actions of the Creator in faith above reason. How does that happen?

R. If we try to relate to creation with the force of bestowal instead of the force of reception as much as we can, as much as it is given to us. Accordingly we can resemble that Creator seemingly in our action, for that we have to perform restriction over our will to receive, to try to behave as if we are in the desire to bestow. To try and see how we can accept reality, the friends, and the group if we look at everyone with the desire to bestow. How much they love, how much they are connected, how much they care about one another in the ten. We try to rise above our will to receive, each one to such an extent that we feel ourselves as existing as incorporated in one another in one desire to bestow which surrounds us and raises us above all our egoistic forms that awaken in each one of us and in all of us together. We wish to be above them. We do not erase anything, we do not throw out anything, all those egoistic tendencies of ours, not in our hearts or brains. We simply want to be above them and if we annul our will to receive in our heart and mind then we would not know where we are, we will have no reference for measuring ourselves and evaluating ourselves. Whereas if we know where our ego is, where is our desire to receive, our rejection towards one another and above it we have to be connected mutually. In a mutual connection with mutual support. When I do not think of myself but only about the friends and when each one in the group is doing it then we are building for ourselves a new level of connection. This level is called the level of faith, of Bina and there we can begin to assemble together our connection and build our spiritual reality.

S. You said that thanks to this work we get to know the essence of the actions of the creator and his attitude to me, so it is also connected to everything that happens in my will to receive or only in the framework of my work above reason?

R. We will understand the essence of the actions of the Creator. This is what is called through your actions we will know you. If I perform actions of connection in spite or against the actions of separation that want in my ego. I want to move to change sides, to move it to the creator's side. Then in this way I begin to know the Creator, from his actions we can't attain the Creator himself. We can only attain his actions, the result toward us. How do we do this? By assembling ourselves in the connections between us just as the Kabbalists tell us, our teachers. They tell us what to do. Through this new connection we try to carry out, we begin to understand the essence of the connection, and this is a form of bestowal and then we learn what this is. How it demonstrates to us the essence of the Creator.

S. I wanted to ask differently. the egoistic desire in the egoistic corporeal state. Life confuses you from all directions and you go above that connection with the friends. Now there is a different plane, and everything is seemingly good. That confusion in life that you have around you will that ever be clarified thanks to this work, or it is not going to be clarified and we just continue to focus on the work that is there.

R. Everything will be clear. Anyone who is working above reason is getting a greater reason and becomes smarter. He becomes smarter, not exactly how we see it in this world. He is not becoming a scientist like in this world or a scientist in our world, but he understands creation from the forces that work in creation, the force of reception, the force of bestowal, the connection between them, what happens on the still, vegetative and animal and speaking levels. He is not learning the wisdoms that humanity invented. His selfish approach to investigating reality but he understands it from within, the force that operates in the operated being, in this way he advances. Meaning our world becomes clearer to him. It is revealed more and more to him, not the material world but all the actions open up for him more and more. This is what he understands, and he feels, and it is all because he is working in faith above reason. He wants to replace if, he wants to look at all of reality through the force of bestowal. This is the meaning of going in adhesion with the Creator each time.

4. S. (16:27) To relate to the Creator in such a way meaning I turn to him always and I ask for the ten and I kind of ask for the ten, but can I operate with the Creator persistently even if I am not in the ten, when I am alone? It's like a force that is always around me, and I am always talking to Him. Can I do it this way or is it egoistic?

R. Always talk to the Creator, never disconnect from Him. This is very good. Again in your connection with him it will be through your will to receive if you want to have the correct connection then you need to gradually try and enter into faith above reason, the force of bestowal for that to be above the force of reception. It will happen in another month, or in another month. I cannot promise you that it will happen very quickly but the greater the soul is, meaning with a strong will to receive. That was an important part of the system of Adam HaRishon, and it shattered, and it falls deeper and lower. Then it has a more difficult and longer path that it needs to climb towards connection to reach its corrected state. Hence, he who is greater than his friend his inclination is also greater. All the souls, all the important souls, the heavy souls are revealed at the end of a correction.

S. I relate to Him outside of the ten as if He is something that is around me instead of looking at reality and all that is around me but rather to talk to Him. I need to talk to Him. I think there is nothing egoistic. I do not see Him, I see the Creator in everything that I do. Is this ok?

R. This is also correct but you it is not that you simply incorporated in the Creator, but you are rising above your ego. whatever you see and feel in your reality. You rise above that towards a state where you wish to understand, to feel, to think the way the Creator relates to that reality you feel now, and you think in now which you are present in. This view is called an inner view. In this way advance and you do not let go of your state. You look at this state that is above reason from that state. It has to be the above reason. Therefore anyone who advances, and above reason will have a greater reason. There has to be a place for him. They have to add more and more for him within his reason and then he has to rise each time above his reason and try to reach the reason or the opinion of the Creator. The reason of the Creator is the reason of bestowal, and our reason is the reason of reception. Then in this way each time you want to be in it compared to the other. Slowly. This takes months and months until these things are absorbed in us, and we build ourselves. By this we are correcting the broken vessel of Adam HaRishon, which was entirely in bestowal, but it lacks our scrutiny without our participation there it uses to be bestowal through the general bestowal of Bina in the system of the 10 Sefirot of Adam HaRishon. We need to have the mistress, to have the mistress rule over the handmaiden and this is what we have to do each time. Meaning each time when I look at something and I relate to something, I need to try to go to the side of the Creator, to the side of bestowal. How will I look at it, how will I be doing it? In this way slowly, slowly, step-by-step, we advance towards the barrier, the Machsom.

Afterwards, we will just add more and more to the quality of bestowal. We start to develop as an embryo. When we feel ourselves in the force of bestowal, which is the Creator, that we are in Him and we wish to annul ourselves with all kinds of desires and thought that awaken in us as much as we can annul them these egoistic thoughts and desires and rise above them to the force of bestowal, the force of faith. In this effort, we will constantly have to be in this effort. This means we are growing as an embryo, a spiritual embryo. We will talk about it more, but it is good that we are starting to talk about it. It will come.

5. S. (23:40) You mentioned the restriction of the will to receive. To what extent is this action physical, corporeal?

R. The restriction over the desire, when we say restriction it’s not a restriction of the desire, it’s actually a restriction of the intention. We speak in this way to restrict the desire. if I restrict the desire then I lower myself from the degree of man into the degree of a cockroach, an insect, it’s not good. To restrict one’s desire means to restrict one’s intention in order to receive and in its place to install an intention in order to bestow.

6. S. (24:40) With what force does a person get faith?

R. By exerting to be in the force of the bestowal towards the friends, and through them to the Creator. In each and every step of the way and everything we feel in our life if we make this effort consistently as much as possible the person gradually comes to this, and he constantly wants to do this. This is me and what I would do, how would I look at the things if I had the force of faith above my own force of reason and this way the person builds himself in a thing and its opposite more and more. All kinds of thoughts and desires, maybe even actions and this is how the person advances. Try to think in that direction and you will see what is happening. Here is a very personal path of each and every friend, it is very internal. You will begin to feel that the Creator is arranging for each one of us and all of us together he is arranging a general approach and in that each and every one has an internal personal approach just like in our lives in the egoistic world, where everybody is alive, and everyone is going through almost the same stages. But the impressions and the excitement and the thoughts and desires, each one is going through his own personal life. The same is true for faith above reason. We need to try each time to position ourselves in a way that is opposite to me. This is what is me right now and how would that be from the perspective of the Creator? I want to look at things from His perspective, look at the group, look at the world, look at myself, look at everything from His point of view. I want to be like the little one next to Him, like a child and look at Him, that this is Him and this is me. I also want to look at the thing itself together with Him. Just like we pick up a little child and put him on our lap and explain to him look at this, do this, do that. We want the Creator to teach us in this way.

7. S. (27:56) Sorry if I’m asking a lot of questions.

R. It is not too bad that you’re asking a lot of questions but sort them properly, because your questions are typically good, they’re helping out.

S. You say that we should look at the situation from the side of the Creator to understand Him. In my egoistic desire there is a confusion, my head is dizzy from it and in the connection with the friends in faith above reason, there seemingly everything is understood because we are completely disconnected from our desire to receive. What does it mean to understand the Creator? Where to understand Him? Only up here above? Because if you look at the desire to receive it has no strength and it becomes kind of not important at all.

R. No, hang on. First of all we don’t disconnect from our will to receive, we don’t disconnect from it. Because then you’ll have nothing on which to build spirituality. We remain created beings, creatures. We do not float into the heavens to become angels. We build everything on faith above reason. First of all reason, and we stand with both feet on the ground, and we build our spirituality relative to that. Otherwise we would become philosophers, psychologists. We have to work with the matter, the will to receive, everything is built on that. So when we speak of faith above reason when we speak of spirituality, we build spirituality opposite to corporeality. Opposite, understand? Just like you have a certain garment, and you turn it inside out that’s what’s happening to us. Look at a spiritual Partzufim which we are learning about. We can’t learn about anything outside of the spiritual Partzuf; except a spiritual Partzuf performs a restriction over itself, a screen, reflected light, and then it turns itself, inverts itself into bestowal, but from within the force of reception. Otherwise it cannot exist. We are dealing with science, with the matter and the form that is formed above the matter, opposite to the matter but always connected to it. That’s why the Creator created the will to receive, broke it, and we need to learn both the broken form and the corrected form, and we are in between these two forms, and we build ourselves out of these two qualities: from darkness and from light, the thing and it's opposite.

S. Eventually it is relevant to ask from the Creator to understand what is happening inside your desire?

R. First of all, yes, do not rush it ahead. You are asking several questions in one sentence, it’s not good. You asked can we understand what to ask, yes. Can we understand the Creator’s answer to us? Yes. Except we need to cut these things up and attain them in small portions. The truth is that there is no need to worry about anyone. Sooner or later, more or less, according to time each and every one will enter faith above reason to the degree of the bestowal, the forces of bestowal which are the forces of the Creator. And everyone will feel and understand what the true reality is. But the true reality is built on top of our reality, the reality of the will to receive. Then we will see how imaginary our reality is. The Creator created it on purpose so we will be able to get to know Him on top of it.

8. S. (33:19) You said that to the extent we work above reason, our reason also develops. Is this the development of the reason, internal?

R. You can say it’s the opposite form, but the reason will develop only on the condition that you can work with it above reason. The Creator intentionally gives you a certain revelation of the force of reason so you will invert it and feel that within reason you are in darkness, and you wish to reach the Creator’s reason called faith. You are building this faith above reason. What is this whole thing about? We cannot be like the upper force, we can’t only be in the force of bestowal, that’s the Creator. We can build a force of bestowal on top of our force of reception. This is why the Creator is called BoReh, come and see because He created the will to receive which is opposite to Him and then when we discover our desire to receive, we can each time more and more turn it into in order to bestow. It’s not a desire to bestow, the desire to bestow is the Creator but when we are using our will to receive like the will to bestow, by that we resemble the Creator. This is what we need to do. When we do this, we will be inclusive of both the will to receive that is gradually, gradually growing in us, and also the will to bestow, we acquire gradually, gradually, and then we will be integrated, incorporated with two forces, the right and left. And between the right and left, between the force of reception which is what the Creator created in us and is revealing to us gradually, and the force of bestowal which we acquire through our work gradually, between these two forces we begin to feel the Creator. From within the state of the created being we begin to feel the state of the Creator and we don’t disconnect from our will to receive, it remains with us, otherwise we would not exist. But the form that we are making out of it is the form of the desire to bestow, the form of the Creator. This is the meaning of “the Creator's name will be upon you.” Name, meaning the behavior of the Creator over us, over the will to receive. Although inside we become more and more made of the desire to receive, we nevertheless acquire the forces, the powers from the Creator. We build from this will to receive various forms of bestowal more and more until we resemble the Creator completely. Except that the Creator is entirely made of the force of bestowal, and we are the desire to receive that forms a restriction over itself, a screen and a reflected light and the force of bestowal above it. In this way externally we resemble the Creator. This is called adhesion. This is the path we have to go through.

S. What would you recommend to us in order to implement everything you said?

R. Just continue with our lessons, continue with our lessons. This is the way that we need to go to get there. I hope that from what’s developing now in all of our world groups that this is our path, this is our way. We need to not be confused. We need to adhere to what we’re engaged in. You can read additional materials from Rabash and Baal HaSulam, and this is how we will advance. We just need to first be in the materials of the lessons. If you have additional time maybe, we can open up another lesson in the middle of the day. I am ready for anything as much as I am capable, but it all depends on what you want. It could be that it’s possible to open an additional hour, two hours a day for questions and answers, or the other way is to do a lesson in the connection between the wisdom of Kabbalah and additional things. Also, our reader you see here on the screen gives lessons as have many others. You know them, that’s it. We have a team, a strong force that can do this, including myself if you want. That’s the question, to the extent that you are capable. But the morning lesson is the morning lesson, there are no concessions on that. This is something we have to continue with. Only what we can add I do not know; it all depends on you.

9. S. (40:23) Please tell us what can we see when we walk with our eyes shut as it was written in the text?

R. Going with our eyes shut means that I do not follow my will to receive, this is called with eyes shut. Don’t follow your heart or your eyes. What the will to receive tells me I am not going to do. There are things that I must observe even though I do not yet have the force of bestowal which are food, sex, family, relative to my work in the society, money, honor, and knowledge. I have to somewhat use all those things. But in what I can decide in my life, it’s maximum connection with the friends and the implementation of faith above reason. This is our approach to be born in the spiritual world, in the degree of faith. To rise from the degree of Malchut to the degree of Bina.

I am telling you in advance that it is a long path and other than that we actually have nothing else in truth. Because the moment we attain the force of faith above reason completely, that is the end of correction. Therefore we are already in the beginning of our way, although not really at the very beginning. Where we understand somewhat, we explain, we talk about our way.

10. S. (42:50) In what way can we be certain that we understand the Creator’s response to us, and we do not simply understand our own intellect?

R. Talk between you in the group and from that you will get to get the correct understanding, slowly, slowly. Even if you make a mistake between you, it is nevertheless preferable to do this together. It is better to be in a group mistake than to be seemingly in some personal success.

11. S. (43:48) What is different about this whole topic of faith above reason from this generation compared to past generations?

R. That in this generation faith above reason is open to everyone, all the people in the world. Just like Baal HaSulam says white, black, yellow, red, it does not matter. All the four types of mankind which is against Malchut, ZA, Bina, and Hochma; Aleph, Bet, Gimel, Dalet of the will to receive. Against that there are four kinds of external and internal forms of the will to receive. It is open for all, for everyone. We are still at the beginning of the way, but I would say that we are the first group that behaves in such a way. That opens itself for everyone and does not ask who you are or what you are. If a person has some desire, some inclination towards getting to know his soul, the truth in nature, then he has the possibility to enter with the same conditions for us all and to participate in this. This is the form of the last generation, and we are the first in that. Certainly we do not limit anybody in anything. Each and every one can remain in his religion. You can be a Jew, you can be Muslim, you can be Christian, you can be in some forms of faith that are Eastern or African, it does not matter, it has nothing to do with it. It is like Baal HaSulam writes, “each can remain in his faith”, in his religion. Otherthan that, we work only in the attainment of the upper force, which is above all those faiths, systems, religions, habits, customs. Rabash would say that he does not pay attention to all those forms, those corporeal forms that exist in this world.

S. Just to be clear there is a feeling that during this time the material becomes less important. There is a feeling that this generation at least we don't know how to conduct ourselves from the point of view of our daily work, daily forms.

R. I understand you because I was confused for a long time. I did not know how to approach faith above reason, how we break through the border, the barrier between the corporeal world and the spiritual world. Because the corporeal world is what I feel with my five corporeal senses and in them thank God, I understand and feel, and I learned a lot and am well acquainted with it. But in the spiritual world what does it mean faith above reason? What is the force of bestowal above the force of reception? As we learn, let's say in the preface or in all those spiritual actions, what is it called? It is called that you take a desire to receive, you perform a restriction upon it, a screen, reflected light and we enter into the spiritual world, into a spiritual action. This is what we are actually learning, also in practice. Meaning we are constantly learning how to reach faith above reason, how to come to the force of bestowal and despite the fact that we don’t feel it and for us these are empty words but from this specifically we will understand that this is spirituality, the real spirituality. We are not gripping it yet but it is coming closer each time more and more and more and as much as we engage in this, even though we do not understand what we are learning, but slowly, slowly, by us mentioning the names and the actions, the spiritual actions, then just like Baal HaSulam writes in the introduction to the study of the ten Sefirot in item 155: that from this we bring closer to ourselves the upper lights which operate upon us and slowly, slowly bring us closer to those actions of bestowal.

S. According to what I understood, what you said earlier that faith above reason has to be built on top of all the physical matter and the feeling in this generation, is that there is not even a grasp in the material itself, the daily matter.

R. You are right. We are in such a time period that we don’t know what matter is and what faith above reason is, the force of bestowal above the force of reception, what spirit is, we do not know anything. We are in a state where seemingly all the faiths, all the approaches to life, mystical, transcendental, Marxist, it doesn't matter which, all these different approaches are becoming one big mix. It is unclear to us what is happening. We also see this with the media and everything that humanity has been confused with and altogether doesn’t even want to hear about. People want to know only how we’re going to live today and maybe a little for tomorrow, and more than that, no. They do not even believe what is explained and told to them. Therefore it turns out that we need to know two things: how we will make a simple living every day and how through the connection between us, the correct connection between us as fast as possible come to the revelation of the Creator and he is standing, waiting, expecting. So, get rid of all the imaginary engagements and live in it.

12. S. (52:04) You mentioned that we do not have to disconnect from the desire to receive. Is this the same for faith? Is this faith above reason, can it be revealed from within faith within reason?

R. We start from within reason, and within reason means in the desire to receive. We want our actions for them to be above the desire to receive, and the oppositeness to the will to receive meaning a desire to bestow. How do we come to such actions? In the acts that we do between us in the group. Where we relate to one another in acts of bestowal, such that from these actions by the reforming light we have a certain sensation in the force of bestowal. This is how the will to receive starts to conquer the force of bestowal, this is how we will start to acquire it. This is how we will start to work with the force of bestowal and to place it above the force of reception so we will be included from these two forces, the force of reception and the force of bestowal. Between these two we start to locate the spiritual world. We will be able to begin to work in a realistic way to increase the force of reception, the Malchut and accordingly the Bina, the force of bestowal which is above Malchut. This way we will advance. This is what we will be learning about, and we will do it. This is already the entrance into the upper reality and there we will discover all kinds of forms of bestowal upon the forms of reception we just talked about in all the Kabbalistic sources. This is ahead of us, and I hope soon.

13. S. (55:08) If that Arvut is above reason, how to strengthen the Arvut between us during the lesson and throughout the day?

R. Arvut can be within reason and above reason. It all depends on which group you are talking about. If you bring your friends from your work or somewhere to the bank so they sign a guarantee for a loan, that is Arvut in the vessels of reception. If you want to reach spirituality you must have a vessel, meaning a number of egoists who want to rise above their egos to come to a platform, a higher plane, a higher foundation which is upon mutual bestowal. So, they need to be connected in spiritual Arvut. There is a corporeal Arvut and there’s spiritual Arvut.

S. How do we reinforce this during the lesson so we can carry it during the day?

R. Talk about it, agree about it, try to find sources on the topic, but Arvut is the most important thing. Because only through this support, the mutual support we come to the force of bestowal. No one can be in the force of bestowal unless the others work for him, for each and everyone. This is why when we come to the bank and we say I want to buy the building, but do you have money? No? So, how are you doing it? I have guarantors, they are responsible that I will pay. And, then the bank believes the guarantors, the co-signers as there are a lot of people who you can rely on. his is the way we also come to our correction in spirituality, only through mutual support.

14. S. (57:43) You said that one should not restrict his desire to receive but to invert it into bestowal. Let's say I want a very fancy car; how can I invert this desire into bestowal?

R. Think about it all the time, how you can do that. How you can change your intention in order to receive which is natural and It’s always in you without even asking, without understanding, without knowing or scrutinizing, you are always in in order to receive. This is called the evil inclination, which was born first and then we need to beget the good inclination that will come later. How to do that? By working on the evil inclination. Where if we deal with each other in Arvut this way, through the Arvut we want to build in each of us the good inclination. So, we address the Creator like a bank, and we say, we want to build a building of bestowal. Who are you? What are you? Each of you has nothing, you have nothing. But we are in Arvut. Behind me stand nine other friends and they can sign that I will be in bestowal because they will hold me and I inevitably, like it or not, am under their control and I will be in bestowal. This is how we come to the Creator. Each sign for the others. No one can sign for himself because he has no forces. Where would he have such forces? But to sign for the friend he can. This is how we reach mutual guarantee, mutual Arvut. Then the Creator begins to bestow upon this Arvut that we sign, his upper force. What do we have in this mutual Arvut? No one has anything. No one can pay a thing for the other. But the fact that we want in such a way to help the other, this Arvut helps us begin to build a common building, and in this common building no one is the foundation, no one is owner of the building. Only by each holding the other, by this mutual holding this building stands. This is actually the spiritual construction, where there is nothing of oneself but only by being in Arvut, and in the intention for the upper force, which is why this building is a spiritual one. We will feel these things, it’s wonderful.

S. What exactly is it about corporeal desires which prevents us from engaging in this work?

R. It’s not our egoistic desires, it is the Creator Himself who prevents us, there is None Else Besides Him. He is preventing us from being in connection, from being in Arvut. Why? Because by us wanting to be in connection, wanting to be in Arvut and seeing that we are not capable we will inevitably turn to Him. Then He will do it according to our request. When we will ask good and correctly from Him. When we feel that not just that we need Him to help us as if without Him we would be able to get along without Him, no. But all we want to build is in order to build a place for Him as we call the Shechina and then it turns out that we are working for Him, in order to reveal Him in order to build a building. We call it the temple for the Creator. Hence, we are not capable until we reach the understanding of what Arvut is, until we aim our Arvut exactly toward the Creator for the sake of us building the form of Malchut that is connected in Bina. Then it will be the place where on our hand it is in Malchut but on behalf of the Creator we’re establishing it as Bina and then it is called Bait, home which is Malchut and Mikdash, the temple, which is Bina, the holy home, the quality of bestowal. This is how we make the force of bestowal. There is a lot to talk about. This is actually the whole of the wisdom of Kabbalah. This is basically all we need to do.

S. You’ve said many times that we need to be teachers ourselves. How can we be teachers towards other people if we ourselves have not yet engaged in this work of faith above reason?

R. We need to. Even during the times of Rabash students that had an inclination towards being able to teach would teach. They would teach, yes. Therefore you too can start in your groups all kinds of groups of beginners, men, women. Try. You have recorded lessons from us, anything you want you’ll receive help. We need to expand ourselves more and more because the correction of the world depends on this. The world is deteriorating and falling and rolling much more than we are correcting it. Let's stop this deterioration and try to uplift it, each time from degree to degree.

S. We don't want to just go out and teach as though we are the teachers. We want to just disseminate the work.

R. You have who to turn to. Our organization is a very strong organization. It’s got tenure, there are many people that understand and feel this and are in this. Turn to our management and they will take care of you. They will arrange people that will help you to build that. We will have a strong place in Africa that will care for that whole continent and more than that, yes. All of humanity comes from Africa, so also the wisdom of Kabbalah will come from there.

15. S. (01:07:12) After all the scrutinies we get from you each day, there is a feeling that it is becoming more difficult to come to conclusions and hold onto implementations during the day. What to do?

R. Continue, continue. All of our advancement is upon the difficulties, the questions. Difficulties that awaken, problems, misunderstanding, lack of feeling, all kinds of complaints, so what? Nevertheless we come to the next lesson and continue. That is a must, that is simply a must. Without that we cannot advance. That is clear.

16. S. (01:08:15) You said after many actions in faith above reason, we come to the state of an embryo in the Creator's arms. How can I check emotionally if I have the right relationship in the ten relative to the Creator?

R. Whether you feel them, whether you feel that you are in Arvut with them, in common work, in an inclination towards the Creator.

S. Does it mean that we need to develop love towards the friends?

R. Of course we do.

17. S. (01:09:12) When a person prays in faith above reason for their friends does he need to come to this prayer within reason or it's not a must?

R. As long as he builds himself without all those scrutinies, the main thing is the prayer he should turn through the group to the Creator. Through the group that he wants to advance the group to push them closer to the Creator that is the true prayer. All the rest is not important as long as there is that tendency.

18. S. (01:10:08) In the study the Creator increasingly shows me that I'm far from bestowal, that I am truly an egoist, and He is also showing me how much my love towards the friends is flawed. At the same time he instills in me the awareness that it is all from Him, so this gives me the opportunity to go in faith above reason. Because when I realize that this is so, then a lot of things happen, it is like mercy from the Creator He is sending to me. What is considered here an act of faith above reason because there is gratitude, there is a reason to pray, but at the same time I want to see the friends. I want to love the friends; I want to see them and that I love them. I need to go above, so what is it here in this point, considered an act of faith above reason?

R. You need to accept all the things that are happening with you as things that are coming from one source that is the Creator and only for your benefit. That is like I am repeating that same example that you teach a little child how to walk. You place him before us like this, and we distance away from him, and he has to make a few steps towards you he cries he doesn't know what to do. We even take his foot and we put it forward and another foot and so on and nevertheless he doesn't know what to do, until more and more he moves until he starts to walk, and he cries, and he does not know what to do. That is exactly the state that we are advancing through in spirituality, so understand that this study is always actually standing before us.

S. Is the Hissaron that a man feels to be able to pray, is this actually the same Hissaron he needs to be to want to be in faith above reason?

R. We cannot say that in the precise way. I don't want to answer you yes or no because then you will be glued to some form and you will think that specifically with it, you're going to succeed in another way, no I cannot say. We need to simply advance as long as we are in the force of connection and the force of Arvut and to aim it to the Creator. The truth is that the wisdom of Kabbalah is not something so difficult. Just like it is written, whoever fears me and keeps my Torah all the wisdom is in his heart. Just try to persistently repeat and repeat the point of adhesion between us and to the Creator.

19. S. (01:15:18) How can we use the deficiency, and we feel correctly or the blows that come from the Creator in order to build faith above reason?

R. All the blows, everything we experience is only in order to push us forward to enter spirituality, the entry. In general all the ascents in spiritual degrees are in faith above reason. The reason grows every time, it's Malchut that grows, and we need to rise with the forces of Bina with faith above reason and this is what we will do.

20. S. (01:16:27) If I have a feeling that the friends won't hold me and that they don't want to and they don't love me should I think about it or is it enough that I am giving them Arvut? Is it enough to only think of the others or demand that they show Arvut towards me in the ten too?

R. First of all the question is very complex and it's not so correct. I have to know only one thing, to the extent that I trust my friends and to that extent I build the Arvut, mutual responsibility. I do not need each and every friend to relate to me in a way that he is really my guarantor. I do not need to wait for him to sign a pledge of guarantee, but the fact that I am responsible for them, by this you can even say that I oblige them, I obligate them to be my guarantors. Because the Creator stands behind them and He signs, and He is the one who is the guarantor behind everyone and for everyone.

21. S. (01:18:05) When thoughts come against spiritual work and I annul myself towards the ten how to work in faith above reason practically, and from what do we build now in faith above reason in the lesson?

R. I know that every step in spirituality brings us to a state where everything that I thought was fine before, becomes wrong again. Because everything that was seemingly corrected, now an egoistic desire was added there, and it seems broken again in that place that was corrected. That is why I have to constantly be ready that there will be a place of corruption in the place of correction in all of the ways. I have to be ready for all these things to be inverted every time from correction to corruption, from correction to corruption and that gives me constant work in expanding my mutual responsibility, my support, my connection with the friends on the higher level on a greater one. I have to constantly understand that my support of them depends only on me in fact, and not on them. Because behind every friend as we learned, stands the Creator and therefore I, by signing the mutual responsibility note, so to speak, I sign it with the Creator and I see that the friends are actually not friends; It is a presentation of the Creator to me, in order to tend to me with all my qualities and bring me in them into the pure form of bestowal.

22. S. (01:20:40) You said that I am not about to go do what the will to receive tells me, but sometimes you say that if you break the will to receive you get double of it. What is the right way to work with it?

R. I have to keep it and I have to rise above it. I have to want to be in the desire bestow above the will to receive and that’s it. That’s it, to shut my mouth, it's called, “he who shuts his mouth at the time of a quarrel”, and in this way advance.

23. S. (01:21:35) Should we understand that the form of the Creator isn’t a form we understand at all?

R. Yes, we don't understand the form of the Creator, the form of bestowal. We can only understand from the corrected quality of reception. This is why the BoReh Creator is called Bo Reh, come and see, from the force of reception to the force of bestowal.

24. S. (01:22:02) What does it mean to feel the friends, in what part of our feelings do we feel friends?

R. I feel the friends, that this is what is in front of me, and behind them stands the Creator and the spiritual world, everything is behind them. So, If I connect to the friends, then together with them, by merging with them to the point that I dissolve; I can’t shift to the Creator who is the same for everyone and the source of creation. I can’t. This is how we have to be.

25. S. (01:23:05) When I feel humiliated and left on the side by my friends, how can I restrict that feeling and rise above it?

R. Because it is coming from the Creator. Between the Creator and I there are the friends, so through the changing of my relationship, organizing my relationship with the Creator, I come to a connection, correct connection with the Creator.

26. S. (01:24:05) How can a person be in the wholeness when the whole path is built on contradictions and the contradictions that are growing between receiving and bestowing?

R. Why should I care about contradictions, like this and like that? I want to be adhered to the friends and to the Creator and in this way I’ll advance. The more I have all kinds of different states, it is regarded as advancing correctly.

27. S. (01:24:39) Why is it easier to accept the Creator and the world, in the corporeal world and the group you forget it's all from Him. What can help us in that moment to work in bestowal?

R. In a group the actions of the Creator are spiritual actions and in the material world everything we see is old material. This is why we have to have the group and in it we have to establish ourselves in the spiritual world.

Actually I understand them because the preface is just intellect. We're still not getting into these actions we read about in the preface, the restriction, the screen, the reflected light, reception of direct light in the reflected light, expansion of the Partzuf and the ten Sefirot. We're still not... we don't feel these things yet. The preface is some sort of a... it seems like really disconnected science, disconnected from us. Whereas you have made me in behind and before this can be seemingly closer.
