Passover – Selected Excerpts from the Sources. (Come unto Pharaoh #49)

1.Rav’s Introduction: Yes, after the last section where Pharaoh is revealed to a person the evil inclination to some extent and new king that was in Egypt from excerpt 45 onwards these parts speak about come to Pharaoh. Meaning, a person needs to attain what is happening here in his desire in his evil inclination and in his qualities is that they’re all directed from above. A person has to grow up through them and learn how to work with them and how to behave with them. Hence the Creator teaches him in different states and different events, occurrences how to deal with the evil inclination that he needs to from this point on how to grow in a person. Specifically when a person knows how to conduct himself with it, and with great patience he tries to work with it. In a qualitative manner, systemically, consistently and by that we advance.

Therefore, here there are several conditions. First of all try and you can do this only with the group, not to forget that the evil inclination awakens by the Creator. He sustains it. What’s written here, the Creator tells Moses this point that advances a person from his heart towards the Creator and he says come to Pharaoh. Pharaoh needs to interfere with the connection between us and the Creator says ‘no, come to Pharaoh. I have hardened his heart not only his heart but also the heart of his servants. Pharaoh has many other forces and they all begin to burden the person to confuse him. They all come from all forms on all sides to a person from within, from his mind and heart from all kinds of events and occurrences, internal and external and it’s all in order to show a person that he is in a system.

This system needs to be revealed to him as the Creator. That’s why the Pharaoh here is that system, like the Creator but opposite to it. He works on a person to bring him to recognize the Creator because the man has to be a free creature. Not like the still, vegetative and animate. He has to be independent. To be independent before the Creator it means to be the opposite of the Creator. What needs to happen here is that the qualities of the Creator that are revealed towards a person are revealed in an inverted way and that is Pharaoh. The Pharaoh gives us a copy, like a negative and a positive relative to the Creator. We need to do the reverse, we have to turn this impression from negative to positive. To see in all of those things that we see.

Everything we see in the world through our ego, where our ego is entirely the Pharaoh, and if we try to be above it, in place of Pharaoh we assemble before us the image of the Creator. Hence, when the Creator says to Moses forcefully, come unto Pharaoh, he is trying to teach him how to come closer to him, to the Creator. But in such a way that with this attitude, with this closeness Moses will exist, the Creator will exist, and Pharaoh will exist and it will be clear to Moses how to walk this line and remain independent and under his own authority and this is how we advance. The main thing from the Creator is to make the created being like him. To be Adam, the one who resembles the Creator. Therefore, a person has to grow into something that is opposite the Creator and also in a way that resembles the Creator. It’s a thing and its opposite. That is why we need always and every step of the way on the spiritual path, we have to remember that these two states a thing and it’s opposite day and night and so on and so forth, we have to contain them inside of us and between them, specifically between them we attain our independence our true measure we will talk about it. For now what does it mean “come unto Pharaoh?

Excerpt 49 (07:18) RABASH, Article No. 13 (1986), “Come unto Pharaoh

2. R. (09:11) It is a written Come unto to Pharaoh, that is what is written in the Torah. The Creator pushes Moses to the point in the heart of a person , Come unto Pharaoh, why? For I have hardened his heart. Specifically because I made the force of Pharaoh stronger and also,come unto him and together not only Pharaoh also the heart of his servants for that I might show these signs in the midst of them. What do we have here? Why did the Creator harden a person’s heart? There’s an answer, ‘that I might show these my signs in the midst of them’, and the interpretation is why has the Creator hardens man’s heart and he cannot win the war against the inclination by himself? Why doesn’t he let a person win it the way it is or perhaps why can’t the Creator do it? Why is he setting up this war before a person? The person keeps running into his will to receive with his ego called Pharaoh and he feels himself weak, confused, unwilling, all kinds of forms of rejection? The answer is, so man will cry out to the Creator. That is the main intention so a person would see that by himself he cannot do anything. This is against our ego, this is the point, this is the turning point.

We begin to grow angry. Why am I incapable? Why can’t I do it? We begin to torment ourselves for a long time. I am unable to do anything. Why isn’t it working me out? We forget that it is the Creator. Who places all of these obstacles before us. All of them, all of these obstacles, only from him. and it’s only so that we will bow down and cry out and ask and cry and demand the Creator to help us. Not that we will become heroes and do it. At that time we begin to get angry with ourselves and the Creator, why are we failing, and the Creator does it intentionally so that we will fail. We will always fail. Not in this way the way I want it and I’ll get up again and again, not today but tomorrow I’ll try harder and I’ll be stronger and overcome it. No. This is not what is required of us. The group must help a person digest and accept and process this condition that we are incapable of winning. Rather our victory is when we don’t wage war with evil inclination. We are not heroes, we can never do it because this is the force of the Creator. Rather we have to connect and ask him to help us.

So that he will win, the Creator is a war hero, the Creator and not us. What’s left for us is to only cry out to the Creator and the Creator does this work. In a sense the war is simple, only ask the Creator to win It. The war is hard because our ego is working in it. Making me want to wage war against my evil inclination by myself and to think that I am capable and it’s not coming from the Creator but it’s coming from me by that I’m disconnected from the Creator. I’m wasting my time, wasting my powers, and in the end,I can’t win it, I can’t succeed, I can’t see the good ending. What can a person do?The Creator is concealed, He’s not going to reveal all those things to us, rather we have to be reminded of one another all the time, all kinds of ways that our work is first of all subjugation. The Creator arranges everything, there’s none else besides him. We demand of him. We want Him, we beg Him, we ask Him to win this war.

He placed all these barriers before us and we need to ask him to take us through these barriers. Meaning our war is not about having to fight these obstacles and disturbances along the way. Rather the disturbances are in us because they are concealed. The fact that it is the Creator himself who is arranging all these disturbances. To see all these disturbances before me the actions of the Creator. To fight not against the disturbances themselves, but that which prevents me from detecting the actions of the Creator and seeing the Creator before me constantly to ask him, to demand of him, to beg him, to cry. It doesn’t matter how but to turn to him so he will take care of it. By that we come to adhesion with the Creator more and more, and more We turn to him we call on him, in all kinds of ways more and more. By that we come to adhesion. Not that we’re such great heroes. We are heroes because we set up the system so we won’t forget that the solution every moment every state is interning to the Creator. After all those efforts the Creator will finish it for me.

3. S. (16:45) What does it mean that the Creator helps with us all?

R. The Creator begins to shine to a person instead of darkness, instead of concealment He shows a person that it is Him that arranged all those conditions for a person, rejection, confusion, darkness. A person begins to figure out it came from the Creator. A person begins to exert and turn to the Creator for the Creator to help him for the Creator to do everything and then in this way the Creator appears to the person.

S. Is it important each time to build a new vessel?

R. Of course each time new complaints, new occurrences, new will to receive, new revelation of the Creator. All gradually until we begin to discover Him but if we do it in a way that we discuss just now, where I don’t pay attention to the disturbance itself, rather how it comes to me from the Creator and I’m asking him to help me get through this disturbance and be adhered to Him. Not deal with the disturbance. By that I win the Creator winds except I direct my work correctly.

4. S. (18:33) No translation

R. The disturbance naturally influences our brain. We see the world through this disturbance that is correct. When we organize these things and we turn to the Creator and we don’t fight the disturbance itself, but in the fact that this disturbance pushes us away from the Creator where I don’t feel that the Creator is the source of this state. Rather I relate to the state itself. Here is the place of war. I need to fight over the fact that there is none else besides him in and he is the good that does good in order to bring me closer to the goal and I must arrange myself in such a way that performing is the Creator. He is the one sending the disturbances, He is putting a stick in my wheel so I won’t get anywhere.

It’s like what we’re doing with little kids in order to teach them how to get along in life. All those games, all those challenges we arranged for them so they will learn how to be adults. Little by little in different ways and the Creator is doing the same. Anyone who sees his life as a game,highly complex game very special game arranged from above by the loving Creator so that we will grow up and become like Him, he succeeds and he is rewarded and if not if he does not accept this world in this way than he has a problem. He is under concealment and he doesn’t turn it into a revelation.

S. Is there such a way relative to the disturbances looking at them and say it’s not my ego it’s between me and my ego?

R. I never hear it hurts such things the person has to say that the world is arranged for me. I have to see the whole world, not even the small disturbance will later see that all of humanity is what appears to us in our vessels over all the forms of shattering that appear to us. What is the world that you’re seeing before you? It’s the shattering that was revealed from the scene of the tree of knowledge, the original source and it’s revealed and all of your vessels except we’re not talking about all of your vessels in the entire world.

We’re talking about what is closest to us, which is my work with the group with the Creator in order to locate, correctly, my view of the world without family and work and all kinds of things but my inner attitude towards it. At least in that. I can’t run away from that. I must each and every moment be on guard. I direct myself by looking correctly at reality otherwise I won’t be able to penetrate this reality, this imaginary reality, I won’t be able to penetrate it to the Creator I won’t. I can’t let go and stand off to the side somewhere, no, God forbid. On the contrary, I have to constantly be in this understanding, this feeling, this intention that I am looking at reality that exists between us and the Creator. I must locate or detect the game the Creator is playing with me. That’s a must. Without it we won’t reveal the Creator through this reality. In each and every moment in my life I have to see how I discover him. How do I discover that he did it and how to respond to it correctly?

First of all, we are learning about how to not run away from the fact that he did it to me, and here I’m certain we need a group since without it running away in all directions. It’s like an animal in the field, he doesn’t know where to go and if there is a herd then it is already certain there is a shepherd and he’s taking the herd, the flock in the right way. The main thing for me is to be in the group where I have my place and there I generate seemingly I arrange the image of the Creator who is leading us and that’s how we advance. We ourselves feel from the connection between us the Creator who is leading us. If we can act we’ve been from our connection we arrange the image of the Creator and then we advance correctly after him. What does it mean after him? After the point in the heart in the group that we arranged between us and it completes us. We are in a state where we must start this work practically, this true spiritual work.

5. S. (25:43) Regarding prayer we have always avoided asking something that he will do for us if we want to identify through his actions so how can I ask him to change the state that brings us closer to him.

R. That’s exactly our work to change thPartsue Creator to change the state we are in to one where we are closer to him. Precisely because I am working on the assumption that it’s coming from him and that’s why I’m turning to him and demanding Him to make this stay closer to him.

S. Everything that comes from the creator doesn’t matter that he wants us to bring us closer?

R. No, not to change but to bring closer if you just ask him to change it’s not clear which direction. I want to come closer. to Him.

6. S. (27:11) From a private disturbance that comes to me that we suddenly reach the connection between us. What is the transition or process?

R. I’m looking for ways to arrange myself on the path . How do I enter the highway I’m driving in the right direction towards the correct goal. How do I do it? It says I dwell among my people okay? I have to be in a group as he explains to us in the article The Arvut. I must enter a group. I have to be incorporated in it. I must advance with it and the more we are broken which is typical of the last stage of the corrections of the last generations then it’s harder for us to see ourselves connecting between us but there’s no other choice. We must connect between us more and more as much as possible above the disturbances to hold on to the disturbances not to disregard them not to think that they are redundant, but rather right above them we need to correct and specifically through the resistance for connection and the connection above the resistance we are building our spiritual Partsuf. Where in each spiritual Partzuf you have a coarseness restriction screen, reflected light, refinement and then reflected light we discovered the upper world this is something we have to discover we have to attain on our conditions which are not simple.

S. How not to pay attention to the disturbance, what does it mean to rise above it?

R. Not to pay attention to the disturbance and to ignore the disturbance does not mean that I’m throwing it out. Rather I’m working with it correctly where love covers all crimes. I attained connection. I locate the correct direction specifically through the disturbances, without them I wouldn’t know how to be an towards correction.

S. You say there’s a game here to reveal the Creator behind the disturbance?

R. Always.

S. We can succeed in this I have ability to succeed in this game?

R. The ability to succeed is under the condition that you do what the Creator is giving you Meaning the group in the connection with Him through the group. We’re through the teb you are pushing everyone and yourself, in it towards connection, towards the Creator. You wish to discover Him each time more and more.In the center of the group as the leading force. Do not be afraid there will be confusion along the way, and new things that we are not familiar with. Itt’s not important. We need to always try and find this correct state, this template from which we advance. Where is ten, where am I in it? How do I push everyone? How am I incorporated in it and everyone? We find the Creator, we are drawn to him where we cry, we demand, we yell, and that’s how we advance. We see it from the story of The Exodus. We see how it’s happening. Each time we fall ,we cry ,we advance, we get up and so on and so forth. This is our work. This is our path.

7. S. (31:19) I feel that each and every state we are receiving the ten in the group and I ascribe it to the Creator I feel that my request is deeper and we more true what is the sensation do I describe that also to the Creator is it really more focused to the goal request?

R. That’s how it should be keep going.

8. S. (31:54) Can we use negative impressions in order to work against what separates us?

R. Those are forces that direct us towards the work with the Creator correctly, but there are no disturbances.

9. S. (32:21) What should we demand from the Creator as a ten for the Creator to win?

R. Only to try together to detect the Creator who is leading us, leading us as one where we want to connect in our hearts into one desire, one direction. In his way, we want the Creator we want him to take our hearts and to manage them. That’s it and don’t think that there are actual disturbances against the desire against the direction as Baal HaSulam writes, that one who goes under the brain of the disturbances seems like this line is in his hands. I find these words are really beautiful.

10. S. (33:42) We in our work all the time encounter obstacles of all sorts from Pharaoh, he doesn’t let us connect to our friends. We request from the Creator and we always receive forces and assistance for connection but nonetheless how do we reach the state in which it will be revealed that this aid comes from the Creator not just some force we receive or some support from a friend along the path? But the source to reveal the source is?

R. Between us the states of true connection then we’ll discover that the coarseness also comes to us from the Creator and the screen and the reflected light all come from the Creator and in this way we’re able to come closer to him it’s all from him. But we will come to it.

S. What is this true connection?

R. The true connection when in all of the desires the Creator reveals, All the disturbances that he positions before us, we nevertheless demand connection from him. According to these conditions today. If all of us with our forces would want to ask him for connection we only see this before us as the right vessel for doing contentment to the Creator. Just like the children towards her mom when they connect and wish to be together. This is what we want to do. As a result of that we immediately detect a new attitude from him?

11. S. (35:52) How to pass the heart to give the heart to the Creator?

R. From the question be connected between us because the Creator doesn’t feel one heart at least to the minimum is two. A person needs to overcome his ego in order to connect with another. If we try to do it in a group it is much easier compared to trying to do it one against the other because there’s mutual support here, there’s an example and so on and so forth. If we try to be connected, in one request to the Creator, he arranges the connection for us and then we succeed.

Excerpt 50 (36:49) Baal HaSulam, Letter No. 14 (Twice)

12. S.(39:19) What’s the connection between coming to pPharaoh and the letters?

R. The letters are a means of connecting the signs we have for and against the connection of our advancement.  The letters are all the elements of the components of the connection between us and the Creator. All the forms of the vessel that arrange themselves to be as suitable as possible to the Creator and the light so that the light can enter the vessel according to equivalents of form. These correct forms of the vessel are called the letters.They’re called the letters. That’s why we need letters. Meaning the Creator awakens in us deficiencies and we are looking for the forms of connection between us and with him and from that we come to the correct forms of connection which are letters. Otherwise that light that was before creation all of creation would remain in this way, the light of Ein Sof but there would be no grasp in it, no revelation in it and it will not be related to the created beings.  Rather we want them to acquire the forms called letters where they express the actions of the Creator. The created beings become like a stamp that acquires the forms of light of the Creator and in this way they come to correction. It’s like the Nukva relative to the male. It has to acquire the same form as the male. In this way there is existence for her and for him and we are the same in the same relationship with the Creator.

13. S. (41:43) Why harden Pharaoh’s heart? Why isn’t there a rational process of the development of the desire on top of the darkness each time it’s revealed rather than having to come to a state where a person has to go through such torments through suffering?

R. It’s a very rational, logical development. If you want to make a created being that will be suitable to your good bestowal then it needs to be composed of two opposites. How it will have a desire not for what you want and change this desire to the opposite. Each time the desire of the created being will grow in the opposite manner from what you want to give him, and the created being will attain that his desire is incorrect, and we’ll turn it and invert it and change it and it will be inverted to your fulfillment, and then from one thing and the opposite in the created beings that the opposite in this will serve him as coarseness and the matter itself will be as refinement. From these two opposite qualities that exist in the created being, the created being will be incorporated in both forms of opposite from the Creator and for the Creator. In the same form of the Creator. He will receive this form of the correct imprint from the Creator and be called the created being. Only in such a matter he can exist in an eternal and whole manner like the Creator.

Excerpt Baal HaSulam Letter 18 (44:02)

Excerpt 51 (45:38) RABASH, Article No. 13 (1986), “Come unto Pharaoh –Twice

14. R. (47:05) That the Creator tells Moses. Meaning both of us. It seems to us we’re going on our own but it’s incorrect. The Creator opens up each time our will to receive that exists and lives and develops in us. He opens it, enlarges it and raises it.  A person should begin to be prepared as much as possible.

Reader continues: “this is implied in Moses being afraid to approach him….”

15. R. (48:00) meaning a revelation of the Creator in the holy soul that is revealed, yes a part of the Creator from above it is called.

16. S. (48:14) The difficulty whenever he pays attention is to translate these burdens as an invitation from the Creator or we cannot arrange the correct attitude that we find ourselves always in one place.

R. I cannot help you with anything. You have the group try to understand what is written in the group. We have nothing else besides. these complaints you can say as much as you want but if you’re not making the effort in the group, if you cannot realize in the group what is written, you have nothing to do, rather turn to the Creator in prayer, if you cannot pray then there’s nothing you can do. Just continue and continue and continue as much as you are capable of understanding what is demanded of you and with what you can turn to the Creator to request assistance.

I hear all kinds of complaints. It’s just like little kids that even before they begin to do something that they are already crying. It’s a form of smallness that we feel this way and we see it in kids that they cry. Why are you crying? Try this way? Try that let me help you this way that no no he is crying he doesn’t want he wants things to work out on their own. It won’t work out because specifically our exertion we need to gather through all the steps, all the stages till the end of correction and our exertion will be the vessel with which we will reveal the purpose of creation. All of these complaints,check again what are you doing? What are you doing between you and your inner connection and appealing to the Creator?

17. S. (50:31) Wars happening all this craziness happening, what should be my focus right now as the ten, where is my focus?

R. In what we’re learning in the lesson. In what we’re learning in the lesson that must be actually that same goal, that same focus, that same worry that you want to solve. To realize what we are learning in the lesson. Besides this nothing. What wars do you have there in Brazil?  What problems? There are everyday problems of course, but actually besides this they are problems of the degree of the beast, of the degree of the animate. You have problems in your spiritual development so those we scrutinize in the morning lesson and you realize it later throughout the course of the day. Realize it and then there’s no questions, then there’ll only be questions rather than have you realized it correctly or not and that we are scrutinizing. We are going according to the order,day-by-day, we want to advance and so please then everyday let’s think what other portions in the past are we are doing. That will be clear and clear.

18. S. (52:40) no translation

R. I don’t understand your confusion there, what have you learned all these years that now you need to place aside?

S. For example,when Moses seemingly enters Egypt and Moses’s Bina. All those questions that come up,when it’s received in order to bestow it during all of the preparation, all the disturbance and the holy soul.

R. That’s called a wise guy, that he has no wisdom and besides this what he has that it darkens him. I don’t understand what you have so much in your mind that you’re so confused by what do you have? Don’t think about everything that you have from before just in a simple way because whatever you have in your head just erase it, erase it. That’s what Kabalists advise. Forget what was and begin each day anew.

S. How do I see that I have nothing?

R. It’s the best thing that you have nothing then you can begin to truly begin anew.

19. S. (54:44) This Moses who has a connection with the Creator is he inside each one of us or one for the ten?

R. It is written that the world is a small person, a small man and so in each person there is the entire system of the entire reality just that it is not the same thing and everyone . Rather and in each one it is according to their character, their role, according to the last point that a person needs to incorporate in the whole vessel to reveal the end of correction. But in each and everyone there is this system in a small and a whole manner. A man is a small world.

Excerpt 52 (55:45) RABASH, Article No. 926, “Come unto Pharaoh” Twice

20. S. (57:31) In excerpt 51, in the article he writes that a person should begin and then see that he cannot defeat it, so how do we start to do it in our ten?

R. In connection between us. The purpose of creation is that we should connect together and in the connection between us to reach the center of the ten, the center of all the tens, and in this we will reveal the Creator. In a whole manner that we see that we are incapable of connecting so much in order to reach connection between us that the Creator should be revealed there in the extents of NRNHY and so we pray, request, scrutinize and the Creator shall complete for me as it’s written.

Meaning, the Creator arranges the matters, the main thing for me is to make the effort to be in connection, to try and reveal the Creator as the essence of connection, yes. We need to understand that there is no light, there is no such thing, there is no light, simply this that we connect between us, our opposite qualities, opposing qualities, and we want to arrange them together, from this we formed the light, we stabilized the light and that’s what called “you have made me”.

It’s not just some nice words, nice terms and so we need to approach this matter in a way that is more practical. That we are truly doing this, we are building it, we in forming the correct connection between us, in search, in connection and coming apart as much as we’re capable of doing it and the Creator’s helping us from above for sure, we reach such a connection between us, that we begin to understand, to feel Him that this is the light and really there is no light there is the correct connection between opposites.

That, we receive as light, we feel as light, we reveal it as light. Pay attention to this and that it turns out that “you have made me”, that we establish we stabilize the light that without us, darkness, rather only by our work that the Creator has broken us ahead of time he has gave us an opportunity and we in the connections between us we search for that correct connection between us that will appear as light. Light of bestowal connection, love, adhesion and so on.

21. S. (01:01:06) Something huge before us, hard to describe and every time we make these small exercises in the ten. What should be the inner state we should end the day on?

R. In the internal state that I have done everything I could and the Creator shall complete for me and of course I haven’t reached the end of correction I haven’t succeeded but I am sure that those same discernments that I had gone through over the course of the day, they are kept and written in the Book of Life and of course all these things that I have gone through, I need them both good and bad, and ultimately I reach a state that all the bad and good connect together and the light will appear between both of them. The light can appear on the condition that there is darkness. It is the consciousness of light upon the darkness, and so I throw nothing out from my life rather everything there was I’ve gone through with the aid of the Creator and thus this way I am sure that I will reach correction because there too I have a place.

22. S. (01:03:03) Does the effect that the Creator will help mean that we have to come to a new higher solution to the problem?

R. No, we’re not going for the solution to the problems, we need to obligate the Creator that He will solve the problems, all the problems He caused, He formed the vessel in the correct manner and then broke it and we need only to approach connection of the broken vessel and request from Him that He will connect. The moment that I see that I have a problem especially in the ten, I need to approach the entire ten to the Creator and demand from him that he will connect between us in the correct manner and already out of this, we reach some partial correction from the general breaking.

23. S. (01:04:35) What is the difference between the light we produce and the abstract light that fills all of reality?

R. There is no difference, this is partial and this is everything.

Excerpt 53 (01:05:12) Twice

24. R. (01:05:26) Meaning, we have here a war with the Creator that He arranges for us all the broken vessels and He bothers us to make corrections that we ourselves would want to do because we need to reach adhesion in Him to become familiar with Him and not to make the world some corrected nice place, this that all of humanity wants to erect the world war, correct itself, nothing. Everything is arranged only for revelation of the Creator to the created beings and if we don’t operate in such a manner to this direction then we are simply lengthening our path and entering all sorts of philosophizing and sophistry and not going on a direct path.

Everything is only built such that we will request from the Creator to arrange it, to order it, because all our initial problems is adhesion in the Creator, and so adhesion in the Creator is called that I only turn to Him from each and every state of mine and I can only turn to Him to request connection between us and in some total our whole path is an appeal to the Creator, a plea to the Creator to make connection between us and be revealed between us as the force of mutual bestowal. That’s it. Our problem is that we are confused and we want all the confusion, all the matters, all the solutions around it. Instead of being immediately connected to the upper force and demand from him our connection that will be revealed in Him. It will be revealed gradually and for this we need to go through corrections in our gradual connection.

25. S. (01:08:00) Where is the point, where the private state becomes a general state of the ten? How do I take a private state and turn into an asset for the ten?

R. There is no private, in spirituality there is no private person there is only connection between people, and so what you can depict to yourself that you are a private person and now you are correcting yourself, in a personal individual manner separate from others, that’s a mistake, that it is stopping you along the way.

26. S. (01:08:52) Why the disturbances bring about hate towards the Creator and the friends?

R. Disturbances are disturbances that the Creator did in order that we should see just how much we are not capable of reaching connection. So, we need to make the effort to rise above them in a correct, smart manner, what the wisdom of Kabbalah reveals. If we could approach correction according to our mind, our nature, we wouldn’t need the wisdom of Kabbalah, we would continue to live in the animate degree. Why do we need to rise above our will to receive and faith above reason and so on? It is because we need to make connection in a rational egoistic normal manner, we cannot do it, it won’t be connection.

You see what’s happening in the world. Can someone connect with the other? Not in couples, not in little kids, not between adults, not between countries, in nobody in no manner there is an opposition between one another and nothing works other than this that the Creator holds them in his composition of still vegetative and animate that they will exist as such. They will exist as such for the degree of building the degree of speaking similar to the Creator and there we can be connected only in the force of the Creator that would connect between us and if you won’t connect there will be no connection between us we will never succeed in anything in this world and this world will go to lost.

S. What is the quality of the Creator? How to define it?

R. Bestowal, Love, Connection, does to us that’s how we can define it.

S. And the quality of Pharaoh?

R. The opposite form.

S. How to understand the concept of the holy soul?

R. The Holy Soul is part of the Creator from above corrected.

27. S. (01:11:57) How to detect the help of the Holy Soul in the work in connection in the ten?

R. That these have a tendency to connection, that the Creator illuminates upon them and this upper force, this force of connection bestows upon them and they are ready for connection. If not for this they wouldn’t even feel that it is possible or they want it. It it’s like we seeing little kids that little, little kid he doesn’t even feel the others, he doesn’t feel like he can play with the others, then the ego grows and he can see that he wants what the other have and he wants to play with them because he benefits and some manner in some way, so it all depends on the size of the will to receive.

28. S. (01:12:55) We heard you don’t need to wage war on the disturbances themselves but that which prevents us from detecting, it is all the Creator doing this to us.

R. The Creator awakens the disturbances in us so we will turn to him, so we will pay attention to him and if we fight against the disturbances themselves we are not doing the right thing.

S. How to detect that the Creator is doing it?

R. By identifying its already revelation of some sort. If we want to identify it we need all the time to pay attention that the disturbances come and separate between us in a methodical manner and if we begin to fight against, then we discover the force behind the disturbances and in such we reach corrections.

29. S. (01:14:10) Where do we see the support of the ten when a person feels himself alone in the campaign against Pharaoh?

R. Even in feeling that he’s alone before Pharaoh that also comes from the ten. We need to understand that when we are in the ten we are there like it or not. The thing is the extent where we see ourselves connected to the ten and acting in it. But it is not that a person can erase himself, no. We are already in this system to start with where each has its place.

30. S. (01:15:03) It is written in Item # 53 that Moses could not defeat Pharaoh King of Egypt by himself but the Creator waged war against him. So, man doesn’t belong to Pharaoh or the Creator so who is man?

R. Man is that what should we build of the form of the perfect ten.

31. S. (01:15:40) How do you feel the burdening of the heart from Pharaoh from the ten?

R. The hardening of the heart from Pharaoh in the ten?, when we start to be more claiming and distancing ourselves from each other.

32. S. (01:16:09) What does it mean that man and his ten go to Pharaoh?

R. This towards Pharaoh it is rising and walking towards the degrees. When we try to connect between us more and more and demand from the Creator to make this connection between us until it appears. We try for this inclination not to be because we want him to be revealed between us and give us maybe some reward or something, rather we want to bring him contentment through this just like little children when they connect they make their mother delighted.

33. S. (01:17:10) To who is that Holy soul revealed?

R. The Holy Soul is called the desire to bestow that we discover awakening and existing between us.

34. S. (01:17:30) Is it possible to experience suffering a special game and how?

R. Yes, if we are connected to the goal then also the sufferings of approaching we receive them as a game, as an act.

35. S. (01:17:53) What are the rules of this game? The Creator gave us a task in the form of a problem and we solve it by praying for connection?

R. We solve it by connecting it coming from him.

36. S. (01:18:10) What is the indicator that we are solving the problem correctly?

R. The fact that we are in adhesion between us and the Creator for the time being.

37. S. (01:18:26) Should I relate with the Creator as someone wants to confuse me, cheat me, play with me?

R. We need to continue and you will get the answer.

38. S. (01:18:45) We heard we don’t need to fight the disturbances themselves but from what prevents us from seeing it is the Creator’s doing. What’s that force that prevents us from seeing it is the Creator?

R. We need to simply continue on this path. You are asking questions that you need to receive answers for.

39. S. (01:19:20) In item 50 coming to Pharaoh and see the truth, unite the truth. What does it mean?

R. To unite the truth is that all the disturbances and all the help and with all that we have, we united to the Creator and constantly connected to him as I have just a connection with him. That’s it.

40. S. (01:20:30) We are going through the studies of how Moses found the Creator. It is very interesting that the Creator is directing Moses and going to Pharaoh with him. So, what does it mean that we supposedly go to the Creator and he aims us to Pharaoh. What kind of thing is that? I can’t stay with the Creator, I have to go to Pharaoh?

R. On the way to Pharaoh we have no disturbances, the will to receive on the way to the Creator we have Pharaoh. Therefore, Pharaoh is help, in revelation of the Creator. Hence what does the Creator say to Moses? Come to Pharaoh, we will go together I will reveal Pharaoh to you, the disturbances the problems along the the way and then you will be able to attain, then you will be able to attain Pharaoh and through him you will attain me. That’s what the Creator says because all together we are not capable of grasping what bestowal is. We don’t have such vessels, bestowal is the Creator, it’s a completely other reality. What’s vessel do we have in order to perceive the Creator? The intention in order to bestow.

Which has to be upon the desire to receive meaning we must come to the desire to receive, to know it and then see how, and learn how we in special work with the desire to receive place before us the desire to bestow. Look what is the spiritual Partzuf called that we learn about? Rosh, Toch, Sof, ten Sefirot etc. It’s the desire to receive. It’s the desire to receive. To begin with existence from absence the Creator created and the four phases of direct light is desire to receive and then what develops from these four phases all the worlds Partzufim, Sefirot it’s the desire to receive, only the manner of its action is bestowal where this will to receive takes on the force from the light and can perform actions that are opposite to it’s natural form of reception but rather in order to bestow. It cannot bestow on its own because it’s the desire to receive but actions to do in order bestow it is capable. This we do not understand yet and we need to get to know this.

S. So, why after you go to Pharaoh the first time Moses is denied and it happens ten times what does that mean? We need to get these ten blows and each time go with the Creator and then we have to run also with Pharaoh chasing us?

R. You have good complaints, good claims. That’s because our will to receive is made of ten parts and we need to learn it through all those ten discernments, you will learn it and you will get there, we will attain it, the don’t worry, it will be.

41. S. (01:25:25) Why is this issue before us, come to Pharaoh, go to Pharaoh, we don’t go and suddenly we’re told to go. Why don’t we always go to him? Together with the Creator?

R. The development of creation is arranged in such a manner that it must bring us a big desire to receive and therefore, I have no other choice but each time to turn to Pharaoh and receive from him additional desire to receive and then I correct it in the direction of the Creator and in order to bestow and again the desire to receive, a new desire to receive is needed and again to correct it in order to bestow and then in such a way in these approaches left right, left right, I advance forward. There is no other way. I cannot receive at once the big will to receive fully 100% that the Creator created and then do something with it. I’m not capable, I’m not capable to even the little that I have and that one gram of will to receive that I have, even upon it I can not overcome because that’s my entire life. Therefore, we go in steps, by part after part, after part, and that’s why it takes so much time.

42. S. (01:27:23) Problems come to me and not to the ten. How does the ten solve the problems that the Creator sends to me?

R. The ten cannot solve your problems. Only as you are incorporated and integrated with the ten you come to a state that you are before the upper light and therefore by the upper light you can see the problem and to see its solution. The entire problem is not with the light but rather in the connection between you as to the extent that in which you connect between you, the light has felt as being before you and you can work with it. Meaning with the force of bestowal that is before you. That is actually our work.

43. S. (01:28:46) You said that sentence that “Come unto Pharaoh” means that “Come” the Creator is telling a person I will introduce you to Pharaoh and it’s all revealed to a person and then it turns out that I don’t know Pharaoh yet, but I already do know that the Creator has hardened his heart? Is it like that?

R. I nevertheless see even in my work now that I have yet to come to the revelation of Pharaoh in a true manner as he is standing between me and the Creator. Nevertheless I begin to feel that there’s some form of disturbance and each time it is revealed and it is intensifying in all kinds of cunning in bigger ways.

S. That sentence, Come unto Pharaoh becauseI have hardened his heart. The key word here is not actually that I hardened his heart but I did it meaning the Creator.

R. Meaning?

S. It doesn’t matter if I think it is good or bad, it’s important if He did it and He can fix it.

R. Certainly it’s all so that I will advance. For me to advance He discloses more and more the heart of Pharaoh as bad, as evil

S. Hardened means that the Creator became powerful, more intense?

R. Correct.

S. That my heart hardens and becomes deaf. First, was it accepted oppositely?

R. No no no no no no no, Pharaoh does not become weaker he becomes more powerful and stronger. To the extent that we have no chance or choice but to run away from him.

S. How can I see that only through the ten I can be in contact with the Creator and not think that I am alone somewhere independent?

R. It won’t help you. This is the work that you constantly have to be in and constantly work against your ego. Our entire ego is revealed against connection with friends, until you want to kill one another.

44. S. (01:32:06) Entertained between us what attacks should that be as one man on this inner connection that the Creator is clothing. Can you explain it?

R. Only an attack upon the connection between us. Only the attack on the connection between us that’s what we must demand and execute. As much as we and the Creator it doesn’t matter, as long as we do together with Him as partners and attack upon our ego which separates us between us and the Creator.

45. S. (01:33:30) We always learned that to reach the quality of bestowal to reveal the Creator to the ten. Now we are learning that not only it is to the tenn but through Pharaoh too. We have to go through Pharaoh in order to recognize evil and then reveal the Creator?

R. But the whole ten is actually the revelation of Pharaoh as if the connection between friends you discover Pharaoh.

S. What’s disturbing us as Moses says that he’s afraid to go to Pharaoh? Are we afraid of knowing our evil? That’s what is stopping us?

R. It could be that subconsciously you are correct. Yes. We are running from these things. They are against the desire to receive. The desire to receive doesn’t have anything more than it despises connection.

S. I heard you talk to a scientist once and he asked what’s behind the black hole? You said that it probably will become a white hole and became impressed with this. It seems like we are entering a black hole and the recognition of Pharaoh and all the evil in us, even though we know that in the end it will become white with the revelation of the Creator and bestowal. How do we gather the forces together to enter with courage and not to be afraid and just to go through this bridge?

R. I will tell you but don’t let anyone else know about this. You can do this through prayer. That’s a secret between us. It is a secret.

46. S. (01:35:23) Every time we reach some, if I understand correctly, we reach a peak. Let’s say you can call it the revelation of Pharaoh. Then like I heard you say before we reach a state that we stand before the light and it solves the problem then we find the solution. What happens with the problem afterwards? What happens with the Pharaoh in the degree that is revealed?

R. When we discover the degree in its complete way from the time being and then Pharaoh becomes us the desire to receive weight restriction with the screen and it becomes a vessel for the revelation of the Creator. That’s why without Pharaoh it is impossible.

S. So what happens. It is like this time that remains but what happened in practice message disappear?

R. In practicality we exit Egypt with great assets. We take all the vessels from Egypt and then where you cannot work in the will to receive with them will correct them and that’s what it’s called outside of Egypt. Then we come to the state in which we can work with the will to receive in order to bestow that is called the land of Israel

S. The stages disappear?

R. No no no. They all remain. They are all built one on top of the other. Nothing disappears. There is no lack in spirituality.

S. Are they felt afterwards?

R. They are felt. You can go from the end to the beginning.

S. How do they feel?

R. In a form that they all support one another and establish one another. It is impossble for one to be missing.

S. It doesn’t remain as a resentment?

R. No, how could that be? It is all eventually connected to the goal and we discovered that the Creator did all those things and not us. He just brought over to us all of those feelings. all of those revelations so that we will know that it’s all revealed in such a way, only for the final goal where everything is revealed. All the vessels with all the lights, with all of the reasons, with all of the deficiencies, with all the problems, every minus and plus reveal together and our work is to give the right connection between them.

S. When the problem itself reaches some hold degree and stands before us and we see it then the solution we bring it or does this solution already exist?

R. This solution exists already. We just need to add our efforts and by that we become the owners of that final state that exists.

S. What is the acceleration in the solution?

R. The effort builds in us the feeling of attainment, the feeling of existence, our effort as we come to the degree of the Creator.
