Passover – Selected Excerpts from the Sources. (“And the King of Egypt Died” #201)
1.Rav’s Introduction: This is the most important thing, and the king of Egypt died. That is what remains is only one king who rules over us and therefore we have no way to run away from one to the other. This control of these two things that we want to divide everything between them but rather everything that happens happens only out of one upper force, so that there is none else besides Him and He is good that does good and the two became as one. It is all because we begin to perceive reality in this way. That there is only one force operating in it and there is no evil force in the world. Only the good force is operating, and we ascribe ourselves only to Him, no matter what happens. We exist only under His dominion. This is something that is very special, very important, that actually determines our whole relation, our attitude to ourselves, to reality, to whatever exists in the whole of nature.
The whole of Nature and us, all of us, are only inside a single force that is governing one unique and unified and that ‘There is None else Besides Him. This condition is the primary condition, as we say, in the prayer of Shema. This brings a person to a single point from which if he is concerned then he can stretch a straight line to the purpose of creation, to the end of creation, to the end of correction so that all of his corrections are in that he attributes whatever happens to him, whatever will happen to him, only to a single force to a single dominion. From this moment onwards when he develops himself more and more, to all kinds of approaches, possibilities, whatever the Creator portrays before him, by this he develops himself in greater and greater Devkut, adhesion towards the Creator, towards the upper force. And by this he puts the king of Egypt to death. That there is any kind of rule in the world that is against the Creator but rather specifically that other rule which is against the Creator, shows a person where he can still be not incomplete at adhesion with the Creator it helps the person.
By this this king of Egypt helps us to establish ourselves correctly, to position ourselves in the right form,on that single line, so that there is only the rule of a single force in the nature that ruled. That governance is what accompanies us and directs us and leads us and pulls us to the complete correction and in that complete correction we are in adhesion with all of our desires and thoughts and everything that there is inside of us that to begin with are the opposite of the Creator. We establish them such that they will be in adhesion with the Creator. This is all of our work. To discover instead of the king of Egypt, the king of all kings, the upper king.
This is all of our work, and this work must take place inside of us, in our mind and in our heart, and it happens to us from the moment that we disconnect from Egypt it is already considered that we are entering under the authority, under the control of the upper Force. It is a very special state, a very special moment, and therefore the exodus from Egypt is considered the spiritual birth. Because it’s for the very first time we begin to touch this principle that, “There is None Else Besides Him” and He is good and doing good. Whatever seems to us in each moment that opens up to us as a new state, we need to detect in it the single force that is operating and there’s no other and it’s not the opposite and in that way we discover the complete reality. Here we are entering the path that has to lead us, to bring us all the way to the end of correction. In this path there will be all kinds of disturbances, various confusions.
It is all in order to arrange inside of us systems in which we will replace our outlook on the two forces in nature, maybe even more, into a single force. All in all, our correction is to identify, to see to determine, that as much as we may see 1001 different forces, different options, different possibilities, it is all in all this one that deliberately splits in such a way towards us, so that we in our emotions that there are many and different and contradictory, we will assemble them all together and in that way we will compose His image as one. Therefore the primary law here is, ‘Here Oh Israel”. Israel, the one who directs himself towards that single force to discover that only it operates and “There is None Else Besides Him” that only it exists in reality. Hear O Israel! The Lord Is our God, the Lord is one this is One.
This is our correction and all the rest of those are different small corrections sub- corrections. They are as components of this correction. Therefore and the king of Egypt died, we need to understand that he also emerges from that same upper force. That There is None Else Besides Him. Even though we see different and contradicting forces, in opposition to the uppert force, we need to say no, it is the same upper force that appears to us in this way in order for us to arrange ourselves. To arrange our focus, so that this is how we see Him, that we want to see and to identify that there is no other force and there cannot be any. Rather this appears to me because I am inside and not organized correctly. I have inside this inner squinting in a way that I look, that I see, maybe looking at some angle, by which this is how I look at it and see it and accept it.
This is the correction and this correction is actually throughout the entire path. This is what we have to do. When does it start? From when the king of Egypt died. The moment that I begin to determine that there is no other force opposite the upper force, that ‘There is None Else Besides Him’, besides the upper force. This is actually the sign that I am beginning to come out of the control of Pharaoh to the control of the Creator. This is a sign that I am coming out of Egypt. It’s not a physical exit of course, and it’s not even an emotional one. As much as it is intellectual, first of all this is how we accept it. Later on it also comes into the emotion and we start to live it more and more, until we begin to gather such impressions and then we begin to discover Him the upper force as the image of the force that is engulfing us, holding us leading us, to corrections. All of the corrections are in order to determine that ‘There is None Else Besides Him’ in each and every state.
The states will be more and more difficult in order to give us the possibility to exert and to determine that ‘There is None Else Besides Him’, that He exists even in states that are opposite, that are scary, not realistic, it’s impossible that this is how they are arranged. However, the Creator arranges it in such a way in order to give us specifically the possibility through such exercises for us to determine that it is Him and no other. This is our work and it begins from the moment we come out of Egypt. As much as we are capable of. to determine it, this is how we will advance. In that, of course, we have Arvut in the group in our ten and in the whole group. We have what to rely on .What the Kabbalist wrote about throughout the generations and this is how we will reach it. Adam HaRishon, from almost six thousand years ago. The Kabbalist writes to us about this one unique and unified force that dwells in nature and we perceive this nature with our own vessels, and what is upon us is to direct everything to a single source.
2. S. (12:55) Our goal is to exit from one king to another or connect both kings into one?
R. God forbid to come out of one and come into the other. We need to determine that it is a single king and ‘There is None Else Besides Him’ and all of the alien forces that appear to us they appear to us as such, in order for us to make a greater and greater focus like with a lens. As much as it doesn’t seem to us that it becomes established as a single force.The stronger the lens is the more precise it is. We see that there is some other difference between the two images until this image becomes united in a single image. This is called Blessed Be He, ‘There is None Else Besides Him’ one unique and unified, all of our perception, all of our methods, all of our operations are only in order for us to calibrate ourselves so that we see in every state whatever it is, a single force. From us seeing in this form of squinting that there is something else, it is because in our eye we are squinting, and all of our work is to make this correction, internal correction, in our eye. Meaning in our hearts and in our brain, so that before us there is only one upper force.
S. Why do we need to exit Egypt? Why do we need to kill Pharaoh?
R. I emerge out of the control or I disconnect from the control of the evil force that is telling me that there are a few multiple forces in the world, as Pharaoh says, ‘who is the Lord that I should listen to Him?” We constantly, well, what does it mean to disconnect from Egypt? It is that disconnection from this single one force, the evil force, the egoistic force, so that I cannot be in it and enter under the other force. This gradually comes out from me when I don’t yet know where I am, I have these two forces inside of me working on me. I don’t quite have the words, but I truly want to jump into the water, to jump into his control so that He will rule me and I will understand His rule and how do I put him together with His rule inside of myself, this is the work.
S. I’m disconnecting from one force and entering another? Where are we connecting this into one like you said that “Here O Israel He and His name is one”.
R. We will see how we work with it too and it is not simple. Until we come out of Egypt, it is not simple because we can see also according to the story how much we have all kinds of doubts and struggles inside of Egypt before we come out before we escaped from Egypt. This is how we will feel about ourselves, what is this whole process that we are going through? This builds the human, Adam, in relation to the Creator. We cannot come closer to Him and discover Him in our senses, in our inner vision, unless we go over all of these events and all of these states that the Torah tells us about.
3. S. (17:47) What you said is a process of development towards the Creator, what is the Creator expecting from us, what’s His purpose?
R. We as created beings cannot identify a single thing but only one thing opposite the other. This is why I created the evil inclination, I created for it the Torah as a spice, the light in it reforms one. Meaning it corrects the evil inclination, the light of Torah corrects the evil inclination and becomes the good inclination. It cannot be good but rather the upper light that comes from the Creator, it corrects it and this is how we get to know and we are able to discern, to distinguish between the evil and the good. This is what happens and therefore we need to understand that we are created beings and the created being can exist in a reality where it is outside of the single force that truly exists in reality. Only one force exists and we, that this force wants us to exist and along with that we will be the opposite of Him in order to exist and to be similar to Him in everything. This single force builds a very special reality where it is Him and something totally opposite to Him, entirely a copy of Him and we come from that copy, from Pharaoh the evil inclination who is the opposite of the Creator, we gradually reach to come closer to congruence with the Creator.
These stages we need to study them and to understand where we are opposite and where we are similar to Him. From these two states we compose our intellect and our emotion, our inner mechanism, how to distinguish between the bad and the good, between the upper one and the lower one, between truth and falsehood, between all of our qualities. When we assemble all of these things one opposite the other, and we exist in between the two of them then we become independent. This is why the Creator, when He created the evil inclination and the evil inclination remains, and we upon the evil inclination put the good inclination, then we seemingly build the Creator, as it says You have made me.
It turns out that we understand something and its opposite and we exist in between the two of them, and by that the created being becomes truly on the same degree as the Creator and you will be as God knowing the good and the bad. We will get to know all of these things on ourselves, but this actually now in our study, we are beginning to approach this understanding, even this feeling. Gradually, gradually I’m not in a hurry because I know how much this needs to enter our emotions and our intellect and to settle there and it all needs to become incorporated together and bring us these special discernments.
S. How can we be sure that this King inside us has truly died, we do everything we can for the ten but there is the corporeal part where our desires are influenced. What are the signs that can direct us that we are really leaving this place and entering a different place of bestowal?
R. It’s a nice question. It’s according to our feeling, according to our feeling I need to feel inside of me that I am directed by bestowal, by connection with the friends towards love. That all of my qualities that are revealed inside of me and specifically towards the friends, can establish me so that I am working for the sake of others. This is the correct test. Because the Creator is also good and doing good and There is None Else Besides Him. This is how I need to see myself also, it’s not that this is how I behave on the street. We are not yet working on the correct perception of reality, and therefore it will not seem good in our eyes and in the eyes of the public. Really also in our own eyes but we will advance, we will advance there, I don’t want to confuse you.
4. S. (24:03) We know that this force comes from one source, why in our method, meaning that there is also Pharaoh and the Creator. Isn’t it supposed to be one thing and it is just that we separated inside us?
R. Only by me composing the image of the Creator inside of me out of something and its opposite, I can feel Him correctly. Because it is me feeling Him and it is not that I and Him are the same thing, one thing. Rather there is me and there is the Creator and the two of them, me and the Creator must be inside of my feeling and my understanding. How can that be? Therefore it was created in such a way. Think about it.
5. S. (25:18) In order to see out of our world the force of good and benevolent, it seems that we have only one key, faith above reason or is there something else?
R. There is only this one as much as I am going towards perceiving reality in faith above reason, in that way I perceive reality in the correct way. I cannot see spirituality, I cannot feel spirituality unless it is in faith above reason because spirituality is faith. Reason is corporeality so as much as I elevate spirituality upon the corporeal reality and the gap between them, I identify and I perceive the spiritual reality.
6. S. (26:20) Can you explain this matter that it is written and the king of Egypt died and then Israel cried out from the work and their cry went up to the heavens. I thought we would reach some cry out from this work from Egypt and then after we cry out and pray and only then the king of Egypt died, it’s written like the opposite, I don’t get it?
R. Okay we will study this, listen to this and you will understand soon, he explains it, he explains it more than once.
Excerpt 201 (27:26 ) Twice
7. R. (28:30) Specifically they were crying out of the work, that they wanted to combine these two things together but they couldn’t.
8. R. (29:53) That is specifically from the work, that they were not able to do anything for this or for that and then they don’t know in this form what to do, how to live, how to exist, where to aim themselves. This is how it is with a person in his life that this is how it seems to him to what to live for? He doesn’t know what to do, he doesn’t know how to make even the smallest movement. Because if it’s not for himself and it’s not for the Creator, he exists in between empty-handed from both, then it turns out that he is truly in a state of helplessness meaning he has no fuel for the work, no goal, nothing to live for. This thing is felt truly inside the entire nature of the person. We need to understand that it’s up to the very last detail, up to the cells in the body. There has to be a plan and a power and a purpose that compels us to live and exist and multiply in each and every cell and if this disappears this process, then the person dies. This is considered and the king of Egypt died for the time being, and the children of Israel sighed from the work. The state is very much not simple however we have to pass through it in order to then decide, so why should we live?
9. S. (31:50) What is the correct formula of the prayer in the ten in order to be always between the two forces, is this called the middle line?
R. I didn’t understand, would you repeat please?
S. What is the correct formula of the prayer in the ten in order to be a quick formula, a style, the correct wording of the prayer in the ten in order to be always above both forces?
R. I can’t tell you what is the right wording it’s as written in Hear Oh Israel, Shema Yisrael this is the right wording, The Lord Our God, The Lord is One that there is None Else Besides Him and only He operates in the whole of reality. Even though it seems to us that there are many forces that work on us from above, from below, inside of us it doesn’t matter which way, we need to realize that it is all operating only from a single source from a single decision and it is a single King.
S. And is that called to be in the middle?
R. Yes, that too is true.
10. S. (33:45) The Creator is the law?
R. Keep going, I can’t say yes or no, what do you want to say by that? That the Creator is a law? He is also a law.
S. We, in our actions in this world, can cause us to return to the previous?
R. Yes we can.
11. S. (34:29) Why in any case it’s not enough for us to reveal There is None Else Besides Him that operates on us from separation, apathy. Why do we want to reveal the Creator as the force of love and bestowal? Why is it not enough to determine There’s None Else Besides Him that there is one force dominating and controlling us, is that not enough?
R. Because we are not one, we are made out of a matter and we want to compose the image of the Creator as the upper force. We have to arrange our matter, our substance so that it will be organized like the upper force and to the extent that our matter will be organized in such a way from that we will understand the Creator. This is why the Creator is revealed in us in the form of Boreh, Come and See. We do not perceive the Creator, we seemingly perceive his picture, his imprint or his picture on our matter.
S. It’s not enough to determine There Is None Else Besides Him, that’s only the beginning
of the action?
R. Let’s say so. You are asking questions that for the time being are unrelated to our issue.
12. S. (35:55) The excerpt he writes, they don’t want to work for their own sake and they cannot work for the sake of the Creator, why is it not enough that they no longer want to work for their own sake what more do they lack there?
R. This is a transition. The exodus of Egypt is a transition from in order to receive to in order to bestow
13. S. (36:23) The king of Egypt died in a man’s life that his stare actually inverts, it flips. In what stage does this occur in the beginning of his spiritual path?
R. We will soon detect that I don’t want to give you solutions. I want us to go through the excerpts and out of them we will understand where it is. That source, that point from which we are born spiritually.
14. S. (37:14) Everyday I get up and I get up with this internal war. Am I going in the right direction or not what do I want for myself actually like in the preparation for the morning we spoke about. Why am I even getting up for the lesson and where do I want to go? What’s my goal? What’s changed in this night from all other nights? What’s unique hear that now I will not be with its internal love anymore. What is this in this unique new path that the king of Egypt died?
R. By connecting with others you reach the state where you hear the voice of the Lord more.That the Creator is talking to you.
S. It’s always in my picture, in my perception, that there is one king but a lot of forces but ultimately there is the one king that Creator that He controls all forces. Now I understand that it’s not just a few forces. I’m very confused from all this
R. There is one king. You should be patient, you should be patient, not only you. We haven’t even started reading a single excerpt and you are already asking in all directions like little children. Try to be a bit more stable. Try to understand a bit more where you are, what you have ahead of you the way that the Kabbalists explain it. Why are you starting with a thousand different questions? I understand that you’re all confused but the approach should already be you should already have the approach not the understanding not the attainment. The approach should already be clear, that we read excerpts and according to these excerpts we go and scrutinize. That’s it, what are you showing us that you don’t know how to approach the study? That’s very bad.
15. S. (39:35) Why even though there is a very strong desire some of the friends don’t take part in the process. They don’t use the great force that exists in this group in order to get out of Egypt?
R. What’s the question? What to do with them? You asked yourself what you do with them. You need to do everything the Kabbalists advise us to do. That we should awaken the friends and adhere them all to one ten, and in such a manner we can exit from Egypt. This part doesn’t participate and part does that’s a fact but what do you do after this that you determine this fact?
16. S. (40:47) My friends.The men that work on overcoming. I hardly heard them crying out or weeping. This out cry to the Creator is manifested externally somehow?
R. No, it could happen in a person but the main thing is that it will be directed correctly, aimed correctly. In an external monitor each one expresses himself in different manners but the main thing is they will be as much as possible correct closer to the internal point. The true internal point
S. Maybe I don’t even see any external expressions of it but in fact there is a true outcry in the friends
R. We cannot yet feel such what happens in our friend’s heart but soon I hope we will begin to feel more and more and we’ll need to work with it.
17. S. (42:17) What stage of our connection do we reach after the king of Egypt dies? What will be the advancement of the new face for us?
R. The exit from under his control, that is called that we exit Egypt, from the egoistic perception. What it seems to us, what the Creator created us to control the king of Egypt and we gradually get closer to the new contro. To the control of the Upper King. It’s already a revelation of the spiritual world and all the rest of our progress will already be in spiritual forces in struggle between spiritual forces and corporeal forces until we entirely acquire all the spiritual forces and in this resemble the Creator.
Excerpt 202 (43:40) Twice
18. R. (43:52) Goy means nation, Every nation, every group of people, according to culture, education but they have between them that’s called a nation or Goy it’s the same thing. Also Israel is called Goy but the word Goy is usually related to groups of people that don’t have work on the intention to bestow between them and that is directed to the Creator and then they are called Goy.
Reader continues: (44:31) “It means that if Israel are under….”
19. R. (44:58) Meaning that this entire first state of those who yearn for the Creator to the Creator and they reveal that they are under the control of all sorts of desires and intention to bestow, that’s called to be under the control of the nations of the world. In sum total there are 70 nations of the world: Hesed, Gevurah,Tiferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod, Malchut times 70. Our work is to incorporate from all these desires which has already been done in history and in previous incarnations of ours. We need now to begin to raise these qualities to the intention to bestow.
Reader continues: (45:54) “ so what did the Creator do….”
20. R. (47:13) Meaning in all the events that can be revealed to receive. Let’s say like this entire world, culture and education that humanity is now in, it’s fine that the will to receive. Hecan succeed there and attain what he wants to obtain being can the competition with others receive taste in his life.
Reader continues: (47:47 ) “it means if Israel are under the dominion.”
21. R. (48:11) Meaning also the same people that exist in humanity that have a tendency to revelation of the Creator, attainment of the Creator, they too are in this big audience that runs after all sorts of corporeal attainments, and thus it’s hard for them to distance from it, and realize their true tendencies what they have.
Reader continuous: (48:48) “What did the Creator do?…
22. R. (49:34) That beforehand first they received taste and all sorts of works and in the intention to receive that they would do. Envy, lust, honor, that they would see how much they are in some status with respect from others that gave them some taste in life, negative, positive. In any case they would understand why they are working. What they are working for but on the intention to bestow, there is no taste.
Reader continues: (50:08) “that all the dominations of the king of Egypt,”
23. S. (50:27) In accordance with what, it says here that Israel refused to work in their egoistic desires and then the king of Egypt died and they lost this egoistic energy meaning you’re not giving the possibility to go back and from here the outcry stems so where is the spiritual choice? If I can no longer go back to the king of Egypt and I feel he died?
R. This that he gives the king of Egypt in the eyes of man and then the person cannot work for this King anymore. It’s like happens to you in your life, even that you grow when you were a child you had all sorts of things before you that you wanted to obtain to acquire and afterwards you grew for a few years, then what you had before some things that seem to you so big, that you would really bow before them, they disappeared already from your perspective, your reason and that’s called a king of Egypt died.
S. Can we be more precise because I was certain that the spiritual value is in that I have the possibility to choose the spiritual direction. Here it feels like this choice was taken away from me because the king of Egypt died so there’s no choice?
R. No, it’s not exactly what you think. That you are in some state and they want to advance you to a higher state, then they give you the sensation of harm in the present state, and they give you the sensation of benefit and the higher state and that’s how you advance. You don’t think correctly about freedom of choice. Choice is not when you have two things before you and you want to choose between one of these things. Based on what are you choosing? According to what? Choice, even ours in our life, choice not in that there’s two things before me and I choose this more and this less, this is less, this is more and I need to rip myself in half.That’s not a choice. The truth is we never choose in such a manner. We can choose only on the condition that one thing is made lesser than the other. Then we choose one over the other. Why does this occur? This is what they place before us, like before a baby some toy which is more interesting and then they choose it. Only in such a manner is all our choice also in our world and also with us with the adults.
S. Yes, I totally agree but I choose everything according to the importance that I have. Here it turns out that the king of Egypt died, meaning they completely took away from me this possibility but there’s no Creator yet on the other side.
R. Yes we go through such states. Yes that the king of Egypt died and Israel aside from the work because there’s no what to do. There’s no one to work with, there is nothing dear in life it is precious so what to live for? We’ll talk more about this but it’s not a choice like we think. I choose one thing out of two,based on some parameters like that the Creator, He’s the one choosing.
24. S. (55:30) My question is about the topic they say that we need to suffer because of our deficiency towards bestowal but here we see that the people of Israel suffer only because they didn’t receive the satisfaction,the fulfillment in the desert and they missed what they received before,so what should be the true outcry?
R. A true cry out in the beginning is that we have disconnected from the good source that our will to receive would receive and be fulfilled and enjoy and in these we pass on to scrutinies.These scrutinies cry out and the scrutinies begin to see that these cries out are not correct. We need to cry out not in what we are getting filled with rather from whom we are receiving fulfillment. Are we receiving fulfillment by actions of reception or by actions of bestowal? Meaning that it is not important for me, it doesn’t matter what I receive meaning but rather who I receive. Here we are going to weigh our actions and results on a different scale. Soon we will start talking about this. If I am performing actions of bestowal you cannot compare them with actions of reception. It is something entirely. Iis important for me that by actions of bestowal I have a connection with the upper source and accordingly I measure the result of my action.
25. S. (57:54) The state that the king of Egypt died does it happen at once or does it happen gradually?
R. Slowly. It can happen over the course of years but we hope it will happen fast.
26. S. (58:36) I just want to know why it is expressed this way that it says there is no perfection of the Mochin?.
R. The Mochin is an upper light that descends on man and performs the action that is in some spiritual state. That is what is called Mochin in the excerpt.
Excerpt 203 (59:26) RABASH, Article No. 16 (1985), “But the More They Afflicted Them”
27. R. (01:01:15) Meaning here there’s not so much to talk about but we can if you want. Actually after they continue in these works they operate against what happens to them. Then they reach a state that they truly lower the king of Egypt and his importance in their eyes. That is called the king of Egypt died because his descent was considered death. It is all with respect to the person who attains. Being that the king of Egypt died, later the Creator heard their prayer. Then already it was made a stronger connection and tighter between man and the Creator.
28. S. (01:02:17) Should one exit that control of Pharaoh and take control of himself and build the conditions from scratch like the Creator? How can one understand that the feeling that comes to him is a feeling that is for the sake of the Creator and not for Pharaoh?
R. We have no problem with this because you have a society. If you operate such towards the society for their benefit that they will grasp the study material correctly,more deeply. that they will gather between them there may be all sorts of other such things. if you operate in such a manner then surely you are directed through them to the Creator.
S. After we exit Egypt should we build a condition from scratch? Like the Creator
R. Yes, we build new things. All on the intention to bestow from lightest to more and more heavy and more advanced.
29. S. (01:04:07) It becomes more and more clear as everything converges to implementing or realizing on all levels, food, sex, family, money, honor, knowledge, that there is even the feeling of rejection from this state that their whole life is in that. That this is how the Creator is operating through the will to receive so what is the next stage?
R. The next step is that we will rise above the will to receive. What does it mean to rise above the will to receive? We cannot exit it. It is our nature and it remains rather with the will to receive we are already directing, aiming ourselves to be in bestowal.
S. Where is my addition here?
R. You ask in such a manner like, that get into the excerpts and try to see them and we will advance as such. There is a lot of study material. What they chose is not what I chose and I never tell them what to do but we learn from what our friends chose and accordingly we progress. After all, I think this is the correct approach because of lack of time. We cannot act differently.
30. S. (01:05:52) It is still not clear why specifically when the king of Egypt dies the place opens for a true prayer. What is so special here?
R. The king of Egypt is called the intention to receive and the prayers on the intention to receive is not a true spiritual prayer. Only after this king died did I understand the intention to receive is not worth working with a bit. I ruin myself in this entire approach and the intention to receive that is called, the king has died, the king of Egypt. Then from this moment on, I begin to rise to the intention to bestow. Meaning He begins to be born in me and grows in me the upper King.
S. We learned that there is no intermediate state between for myself and for bestowal or today it seems to come out of the study that there is an intermediary state.
R. We will still learn about this state. It is called the escape from Egypt to the direction of the land of Israel. From one direction to the other you cannot transition in one jump. There is a transition. This transition includes the opening of the….. , in the desert. it is not that you jump from one desire to another in the middle none the less there is some transition between the two.
31. S. (01:08:00) A technical question when we meet between us what is greater. the importance of the Creator or the importance of their friends?
R. It depends on what state you are in, usually on one hand that you were in love from the creative beings to love of the Creator but on the other hand, why do I need to be in love of the friend? Because I want to reach the love of the Creator.
32. S. (01:08:49) Out of the excerpt, what does it mean that the minister of Egypt fell from his pride?
R. The entire end of the control of the king of Egypt is because man’s pride will lower him. You begin to feel that pride, that a person feels that his pride is what ruins him and doesn’t let him advance to spiritual progress.
33. S. (01:09:31) If all that matters to a person is from who do I receive and not what I receive and a person succeeds in uniting all of the events in reality to There is None Else Besides Him it turns out that it seemingly doesn’t matter in reception or in bestowal.
R. I didn’t understand you, what do you mean it is not important to be from who I am receiving or for what I am receiving? Doesn’t one belong to the other ?
S. I have heard Rav say before that it does not matter to us what we received but what matters is what we should be meticulous about is who we are receiving from?
R. Yes that was related to something else.
S. So the whole thing is about uniting everything into a single force, one unique and unified, and There is None Else Besides Him, right?
R. Correct.
S. So if a person succeeds in uniting all of the events in reality to one unique and unified,and There is None Else Besides Him, the greatness of the Creator is in everything seemingly does it matter if he is in reception or bestowal.
R. No, because he is directed to the upper force now he is with a separate force and a mutual connection, me to my beloved and my beloved to me. You understand that is not the same thing. I do not want to get into it but also the shell is adhered to the Creator and wants to be adhered and wants to suckle from it.
S. So the whole thing is actually about the need for bestowal is born out of that place where the person wants to give back to the Creator for the privilege that he has to unite him?
R. You first need to establish in the force of bestowal and with it you reach to the friends, to the Creator. you understand how much it is all arranged correctly.
S. Yes, but we want to establish the force of bestowal between us because the goal is to reach unification with the Creator and give him back the favor and to be in reciprocity with him right?
R. Correct.
S. It is not clear why bestowal to the ten ,where the ten is all kinds of different desires, different vessels, why is specifically bestowing to them establishes There is None Else Besides Him? Why by that do we get to a single force?
R. That is how we are arranged in a group. If we want to bestow to the entire group then through this we begin to locate what is called the upper force because from his part He forms the group He stabilizes it, and I for myself,I for my part also want to stabilize it on my part and then it turns out that this is the same place.
S. But it turns out that I have many forms of bestowal to the group. How does that bring me to the equivalence of form of the quality of bestowal? He has his only one and I have an attitude towards the group towards a friend?
R. That is not important nonetheless through all sorts of manners that you connect with the Creator.
34. S. (01:13:16) In the last days it is really felt in the lessons that we are going deeper into the exile that there is no force to labor but then today I suddenly realized some things. I see that I see things where I am and it gives me the force to labor and I realize that in the prior days when I had no force I probably missed invitations of the Creator to go above reason. So now I want this minister to die. This fulfillment of it in reason. What should be my attitude in the lesson now? How can I go forward from this point?
R. The way you are saying it, using the lesson you wish to obtain the force of bestowal and through it, and with the friends, and Arvut between you with the friends and a mutual guarantee you wish to advance to the Creator in order to enter into connection with him. I to my beloved, this is a place that connects you to the Creator. I to my beloved and my beloved which is the Creator to me. Again through the friends I received from him then we have a common place with the Creator which is the group and through it I am connected to him.
S. I feel like I have this blind spot here because of this exit from Egypt, it’s like a personal part. I need to kill this king of Egypt but how do I jump from this more personal work to the group to connect?
R. I don’t quite understand your question. No I don’t. We need to see the group has a commentator, as a box in which I connect with the Creator and from the Creator through this group I received from him. If the connection is good with the group then I am set and the Creator is always connected to the group to that box. We have many such examples from how we connect through the communication wires through the internet when we connect to one another. That is what we need to establish before us and see that there is no other way. Otherwise it is impossible to be in connection between us and the Creator and between the Creator and us.
S. He said that by killing that minister of something that he does personally how can he connect that to the group and to the ten?
R. No, there is nothing personal about a spiritual action. Spiritual action should always be inside the group to strengthen the group, united, unified, to bring the connection between everyone to a higher degree until I begin to feel inside the group the presence of the Creator. Only in this way. It will come. For the time being it is not felt that this is how it should be but as much as you can make those artificial actions we will get it.
Excerpt 204 (01:18:02) RABASH, Article No. 16 (1985),”But the More They Afflicted Them”
35. R. (01:20:04) What are they trying to say? We have to keep going and time will come when everyone will eventually enter and assume this work through a place in order to receive to in order to bestow and everyone will go from the corporeal perception to the spiritual perception and a person should not be despaired, should not lose hope in short, he should read Shema? “I shall hasten it or in due time” meaning if you can apply force and reach ahead of time and if not nevertheless time we’ll bring him closer and take him through the states that will take him from one world to another.
36. S. If I may ask it turns out as a result of what we have read in the last two excerpts and what you said so it turns out that when the Creator takes this toy away from a person meaning the king of Egypt dies so he loses the taste the forces to work for Spiritual work and then a person has to be drawn towards the group and make that choice and even if he doesn’t feel the…?
R. Yes. Yes yes. This means that the Creator makes the choice instead of a person the Creator places his hand on the good fortune and says take it.
Excerpt 205 (01:22:09) Twice
37. S. (01:24:35) What does this awareness or understanding help? How does it help to understand that there was no minister?
R. It helps to adhere all these actions to the upper force and that there is None Else Besides Him.
S. To begin with?
R. Of course. You used to think that there were many forces at work and now you see that there is one force that is doing everything to calibrate you to a meal correctly… to see only one force that in all the actions that transpire over us over, the to 248 organs and the 365 tendons. This is not simple. When you discover in this puzzle all of the pieces of this puzzle, this Mosaic that only one force is at work although through each and every tile it appears to you differently as if there are many forces, many laws, many possibilities in reality but all of this is in order to disclose all of the possibilities that you can express before you and through those perceptions, those many little perceptions, you’ll be able to discover specifically in this way His unity and the unity we can understand only from assembling all these mosaics all of these impressions, these different impressions, opposite and contradicting impressions and then we can add them to the one cause.
S. When does this collection of impressions change the approach completely because there is always an addition of more desire that you have to describe it to the Creator to. When does it invert?
R. You begin to see these things in such a way that not that things accumulate but rather precision’s or perception accumulates. Just as you see reality you can see it through a different lens.
S. But when does this lens bring us to the spiritual perception, the right perception?
R. That depends on the receiver. If you receive it in such a way now the way you see it now then it is an order to receive. If you rise above because by that you wish to stabilize reality you have to rise to the quality of the bestowal, His quality.
S. It is not clear how this process has an end. That is what I am asking. It seems as if it is just developing and advancing more and more.
R. How should I put it? I don’t know how to say it. How to describe that the upper light that is received through these Sefirot, Partzufim, worlds when you receive it discreetly it becomes an integral quality, I cannot say, that is how it is organized. When ten become as one we’re instead of the nine that we attain there in the Keter that includes everything in it and that is how it is arranged from the get-go and bestowal from above down on us . So in our attainment from below up we come to the Keter and it becomes one.
Excerpt 206 (01:29:20) twice
38. R. (01:30:40) This is a key statement that even when all of the evil is revealed in their helplessness and there is nothing to do and this path is leading us to a dead end without any success we keep going and keep going. We don’t even look for any justification for it but rather only the power to carry on and then it opens up.
Reading Continued (01:31:00) “Until then there was also no minister…”
38. R. (01:32:15) What’s really interesting here is that when it becomes revealed it becomes revealed in both the bad things and the good things they both work in the same direction in order to eventually reveal the Creator as the advantage of the light over the darkness and and the darkness over the light, the good over the bad, and there can’t be any other way, that both of them build the truth, the final attainment.
39. S. (01:32:50) We couldn’t come to the connection under the control of the Pharaoh in Egypt and that has pushed us to a new connection now when we are out of Egypt do we come to do connection with friends in conditions we build by ourselves?
R. We reach a connection between us because we want to build a connection and not because there are some external forces forcing us to do it.
40. S. (01:33:43) What can help us relate the states of lack of work that it seems to a person that he was negligent but also ascribed them to None Else Besides Him?
R. So what is the question? Sure we need to attribute everything to the Creator.
S. But the difficult states to ascribe to a person that he thought that he was negligent let’s say yesterday or now.
R. So he needs to repent in this regard, in that he is reaching None Else Besides Him. It is like, I cannot remember who wrote it, Baal HaSulam or Rabash, that if it seems to a person that yesterday he did not want to follow the ways of the Creator, I think it is written in None Else Besides Him, then that is incorrect too but he really denies the truth.
S. So how or what is a person’s responsibility? He cannot say to himself that he was negligent?
R. Of course not but the Creator has arranged it for him in order for him to feel the taste in that state in order to overcome it today. Not necessarily today and yesterday but in a moment, and that is how he advances.
S. What can help a person? Because it is like it takes the place of work off of a person like he is not responsible about what happened in the past.
R. Surely both the ascents and descents and all of these things are things that the Creator takes us through and there is None Else Besides Him and all of our efforts are in that we need to be more tightly connected with one another and then all of those things that the Creator wants to take us through they will go through that more rapidly.
S. What is the work to ascribe it to the Creator to overcome the minister of Egypt that isn’t giving me forces to work?
R. It is one of the same. That the minister of Egypt wants to separate us and the more we want to be drawn to our connection the closer we come to the Creator.
S. There is still the matter of the work in the connection then revealing the Creator inside.
R. Yes.
S. So our part is to build the connection, the vessel.
R. Yes.
S. If we didn’t build the vessel so you can’t say there is None Else Besides yesterday?
R. So?
S. If yesterday didn’t build a connection why can I say None Else besides Him today? I have to say that I didn’t build the connection which is why I didn’t discover Him.
R. Right.
S. So why should I say about yesterday there is None Else Besides Him?
R. Because the creator arranged for you to see things that way, besides him there is also your desire and your approach and your abilities and situation.
S. So I can help a person observe the way you are describing.
R. That he always follows there is none else besides him no matter what.
S. His responsibility in work in connection, is what?
R. His responsibility is that he wants for this to happen this way to everyone, everyone meaning the ten.
S. Where is the learning part? Can you do a calculation on yesterday to understand things in comparison to today?
R. He only needs to regret that the Creator threw him out of the connection, and maybe didn’t allow but depends the states we are talking about, but didn’t give him the ability to relate everything to the Creator.
Excerpt (01:38:26)
41. S. (01:39:26) From these excerpts there is an impression that to reach the cry to the Creator we need to think that for a certain time the Creator is not hearing the prayer. We hear what the Kabbalists tell us and we believe that the Creator is hearing our prayers even though we don’t believe it, so does believing in our Sages bring us closer?
R. You are right, it is a question that does exist but it exists in a person who has still not revealed the true reality and when you approach it you will see that what you think and the way it seems to you, this picture is sent to you by the Creator and what happens it is not you but it is the Creator acting through that way. It will connect too many more inner discernments until you discover that there is None Else Besides Him. I am not sure if I gave you an answer. Well ask.
S. That everyday it seems that no matter what the ego is showing me, that there are eyes and will not see, that it is important to feel the friends, to incorporate, to pray, so that is a reward. Meaning the ability to pray is already an answer for the prayer, so nothing else matters. That state, that understanding calms you down and then there is no strengthening of the prayer, the prayer doesn’t come, so I guess this is a process that through prayer a burdening comes.
R. But to give contentment to the Creator or not?
S. Every prayer ends with the words that that is what we want, that we are doing everything to bring pleasure to the Creator.
R. Are you reaching a state where you feel the Creator and feel the contentment that you are giving him?
S. Through faith in the Sages, that is what they write, just like in our world.
R. No, that is completely insufficient, we need to reach attainment. Attainment is the uppermost degree of understanding and sensation combined together and that someone tells me. that it is worthless. I myself need to be in it in a way that I have no doubt that I am integrated in it. that I act in it. that I unite with whomever I’m connected to.
S. How do you feel that we are giving contentment to the Creator?
R. I need to feel what I’m causing him, meaning I need to feel him and not that someone tells me we need to feel him, what are we coming out of Egypt for? Out of our egoistic desire to receive? In order to feel him and so that our actions will not go just in vain like It is written in the book, but that we will do it, we will feel a response and by our mutual actions, his and mine, I will feel that he and I are in a common movement, in a so called dance.
S. From our actions, from what the Kabbalists write, the friends come to connect no matter what disturbances they have and reach happiness and discover the Creator, the friends, our whole path and I look at all this and I am happy from it. We read that the Kabbalists write when we are happy so there is a great happiness above, so I have a feeling like this picture that is depicted.
R. That is not the same because you are not attaining it. You are attaining some kind of sensation, awakening but it is not that you are really in it. You are still lacking the quality that enables you to feel these situations, you do not have the same qualities of bestowal as the Creator has. So let us continue.
42. S. (01:45:10) What does it mean that the Creator has burdened our hearts? How does it bring them to the minister died? How do you stop getting pleasure to receive if the Creator has burdened in their heart?
R. Stop receiving the pleasure in order to receive, as a result of the Creator giving them a feeling that they are not experiencing the true pleasure that they wanted to come to and so they lose on both sides. They cannot get it in order to receive, they are not revealing in order to bestow yet and the children of Israel sighed from the work, cried from the work.
43. S. (01:46:10) What does it mean for the benefit of the Creator, how is that expressed in the connection between us?
R. It specifically comes through the connection between us, that is expressed through the connection between us that relate to the group and I want to bestow to them and by that I establish my bestowal to the Creator. I cannot bestow to the Creator unless it is through the group.
44. S. (01:46:48) How can we feel the revelation of the Creator in our five senses?
R. These are not our five senses, these are five spiritual senses that my desire to receive has 5 degrees of coarseness and in them I feel that I want to bestow and then in these qualities of bestowal, with the intention of in order to bestow I feel the Creator.
45. S. (01:47:23) Does the Exodus of Egypt happen at once or does it keep repeating on every degree until the end of corrections?
R. The Exodus from Egypt happens once.
46. S. (01:47:41) When they reach the state of the desire to work for the Creator and they discover that they cannot, is that because they understood that you could not do it without his help?
R. Of course. Surely without the Creator’s help we cannot do anything, this is a basic necessary attainment.
47. S. (01:48:14) Where is all this we are reading of happen, is it in me or with the friends?
R. Always only in me, even if it seems to me that it is happening in the group, regardless of where, it is happening inside of me.
48. S. (01:48:33) How does the king of Egypt die without a prayer to the Creator to bring him to death, why was the prayer made?
R. I don’t understand.
S. It is said that the King of Egypt died, how was there a prayer request for him to die. How wasn’t there a prayer to begin with for the king to die?
R. In our actions, before the exodus from Egypt, we all the time want to exit. To exit means he dies and we want for him to die that I will not have a desire to receive in order to receive. That I will do no actions that are in order to receive.
49. S. (01:49:40) In the end what remains of creation if there is None Else Besides Him?
R. Nothing changes, nothing changes in the whole of creation besides my attitude, my point of view and in that I see a new world and outside of me there are no changes, all the changes that occur inside of me, man is a small world.
S. So then how does it work out with None Else Besides Him?
R. None Else Besides Him is nature, the general force that I attain through my adhesion, my adhesion to the society and the society becomes like a web or network or a type of camera in which I perceive reality.
S. It says that the minister fell from his pride, how to use pride correctly in order to reach the falling of Pharaoh, could you share from your experience?
R. It is that we want it, the time has come we do not know when the time comes but the time has come and then the king of Egypt is replaced, he is taken down from his degree where he is in the power and instead of that we gradually start hearing that there is a different kind of governance which is in order to bestow.
50. S. (01:51:56) What does it mean to help the ten be in None Else Besides Him?
R. To help the ten be None Else Besides Him is that all of us are thinking that only this way can we reach the revelation of the Creator to become like the Creator in equivalence of form that is our work. Our work is in our relation, in our attitude towards the world and especially toward the ten. How do I treat the ten if I am in front of the Creator? Imagine that you are facing the Creator, that all of your friends they’re all, suppose I am one of the ten that wants to become like the Creator, so I need to see them, the friends, as different kinds of influence from the Creator and how do I relate to them.
S. It is written in 206 that you need great strengthening and not escape from the campaign, what does it mean the great strengthening?
R. That all of us are connected and each of us keeps their ten, the uniqueness and the connection in their ten for all of us to be as one, that means strengthening and every time we need to see how in comes the evil inclination, the separating force that separates us and we act against it wanting to close the ties between us in a way that we make new room for it to live among us. This means that we want to escape from under its control, from Egypt.
51. S. (01:54:29) If the King of Egypt died how can he still control them?
R. He can’t control if he is dead but still there are here and there egoistic forces that remain, that are still not connected into this one system called King, but that is how we discovered here and there beside the Egyptian king that are different emissaries and surely an entirely different system.
52. S. (01:55:13) When suddenly the meaning of life is revealed to a person and he has to add love to the friends in the world, is that still in his ego In Egypt>
R. Yes.
S. If so, what is the meaning of life when a person comes out of Egypt?
R. To attain the force of the Creator as acting on him to its full extent in every moment this means that he shifts to Yashar Kel, the land of Israel. That there,the control of the Creator over everyone is revealed directly, it doesn’t happen all at once but gradually through the great struggle within each person with himself, the connection, the process continues.
53. S. (01:56:14) What does it mean complete revelation of evil in me, how is that expressed?
R. The complete revelation?
S. Yes, the complete revelation of evil.
R. I do not understand.
S. The complete revelation in me, how is it expressed?
R. When it comes then you will understand but for now it is still far from you.
S. What is the meaning of the revelation of evil in the ten?
R. That in the ten all kinds of disputes show up all kinds of things, that one feels like he is moving away from the other and there is a misunderstanding, keep your distance, it is small things but until we reach the bigger things like in Rabbi Shimon’s students.
54. S. (01:57:15) When a person says that there is a force besides the Creator is it the same as seeing himself as greater than the Creator?
R. Yes of course. Each one of us feels himself greater than the Creator that we want to dictate to him what he should do. Okay?
55. S. (01:57:44) Would it be true to say that there is one force that is acting on me or two forces or both are correct?
R. One force works on me, that is how I have to see it in a few different manners.
56. S. (01:58:13) It says now they have merited to see that there is nothing in Egypt that delayed or stalled, that detained the prayer of Israel from being accepted, rather the Creator did hear their prayer and the Creator hardened their hearts. Is it only we that don’t see it or how does it work?
R. Yes.
57. S. (01:58:45) What do we need to ask the Creator in order to increase the clarity of what we see and perceive, where we are, what we need to do in the ten?
R. Only to increase the connection, just to increase the connection between us we do not need anything but that. We don’t have anything to do but that. We need to organize our vessels, our perception, and that is revealed when we connect more between us and by that we assemble the vessels of reception and also in that we raise its sensitivity and by raising the sensitivity we will grasp the Creator more and more until he is revealed.
58. S. (01:59:43) If the desire to receive remains then what does it mean that the Egyptian king has died?
R. The will to receive isn’t in Egypt, the will to receive is a force of nature but in order to receive that’s Egypt, and in order to bestow that’s Israel.That’s the difference, the intention, not the desire itself. The desire to receive is a force in creation. The created being can be in the will to receive in order to receive and can be in the will to receive in order to bestow.
59. S. (02:00:29) What does it mean that a person discovers that there’s one force in reality?
R. That there’s None Else Besides Him. A person comes to that there’s to None Else Beside Him. That means he reached his correction, that he reached adhesion.
60. S. (02:01:04) We see that we come out of Egypt in order to feel the Creator. What does that mean to feel the Creator? What is this feeling that Moses represents before coming out of Egypt where the Creator says, let’s go to Pharaoh?
R. Man has all kinds of feelings but it’s still not a real revelation. That’s why what we speak in the Torah, the Torah tells us about that in a general way it’s revealed but we need to see these things in a personal way, in an individual way. That it’s revealed this way a bit, that way a bit, like that and all kinds of feelings or thoughts, but it’s okay. You’re advancing. Not that we have really went through this material in a whole complete way, but somehow we’re incorporating in it or entering this, we are getting into this atmosphere called the exodus of Egypt. We saw them come out, we are still in Egypt but there is already some closeness towards in order to bestow, towards connection, towards feeling the Creator. We know what to change in us in order to come closer to the revelation of the Creator. There are such actions that we can already perform or we understand we can perform them even though we can’t yet, it’s good, it happens.
The main thing is to still, the main thing for us, I’ll tell you what I think the point of our failure is. The failure point is we don’t understand yet that only to the extent that we connect between us will we change our perception. That’s our problem, that if I want to go into the spiritual world I have to be more connected with the friends. That’s the problem. That’s the problem. I know it on myself. I went through these things in a very difficult way, but that’s what we need to understand, to explain each one towards the others and not to forget it. It’ll come by more personal blows or less but if a person is on the path and doesn’t leave he’ll understand it and accept it as all of his perception isn’t personal or individual but it’s entirely a perception from the ten, ten and not nine, ten and not eleven, as we say, it doesn’t matter that it’s a number, it’s the connection. The connection has to be between everyone and once there is a connection, in that connection we will discover spirituality, otherwise the person just wanders around for a thousand years and you won’t have a vessel. He can be close or far, active in the group, in Bnei Baruch, doesn’t matter. What will happen is only as a result of his investment and in the ten, if he invested he’ll discover all of spirituality there. If he didn’t he won’t have anywhere to reveal spirituality.
61. S. (02:06:20) The ten is like a commutator and our connection is like a commutator of the Creator and the Creator back to man and the only action is to do everything in favor of that commutator, to approve it, to strengthen it for everyone to have a good connection like you just said that’s the only work we need to do which is to build our connections. So if you can help us find what does that mean to the benefit of the commutator, how do you relate this qualitatively?
R. That’s what Baal HaSulam explains to us from the first moment from Matan Torah or the Giving of the Torah, in The Arvut, in all those states the main one we have to have between us, that’s the main thing. Usually we think that it’s in articles for the general public or for children or something. No, this is the main thing. The main thing is that we need to build one desire and Kabbalists explained that there was such a desire called Adam HaRishon and it was broken and that’s what we have to put together because we don’t have that system and it can’t be otherwise, and it’ll take one life and another life and another life, and another incarnation and another incarnation, until you reach a decision that either “together or death” or “connection or death.”
S. How do I include all the friends in this decision, because if someone thinks one way and another thinks another way, how do I do something that’s to the benefit of everyone?
R. Connection, above reason, for the benefit of everyone, love will cover all crimes.
S. Everyone understands and relates to connection differently. How to make it so it will be good for everyone?
R. Because each one is different but we don’t have more than that. The first connection is Passover.
S. Practically wise, we’re now connected in the lesson they were connecting the entire world Kli. The sources are very powerful, we go into our day and that’s the main thing, how do we implement this lesson and our spiritual portion? Look I don’t know about others, I can say about myself, how do I not miss out on the work during the day, for it to be to the benefit of the friends and for me not to deviate on the way?
R. That depends on the importance, on your importance of connection, and as much as your friends are serious and on the same thing also, and how you think about one another, and here and there you put together or you give yourself reminders maybe towards one another. I don’t know. We didn’t have such things, because we didn’t have communication devices, so I can’t give you an example. We couldn’t think that such a thing could even be like today’s phones. I remember the first phones that came in a suitcase, it was in a suitcase. It looked like a briefcase and there were, the instruments were in there, and there was a big talking part, you used to take it, it was a few kilos, you hold it next to your ear, that’s how you used to talk and that was super expensive and every minute was expensive too. So I can’t say anything about what’s happening today. Today you have too much, you’re confusing each other, and all kinds of your connections, that’s why it seems to me you just need more and more to take it seriously, what is given to us.
Excerpt 207 (02:11:41)
62. R. (02:12:27) I think we should read the Shamati article as well, we can find a lot of things there, the main thing is to incorporate in the feelings, that’s the emotional thing we have to go through,
Excerpt 207 again
Reading Shamati 159 (02:14:00) “And it came to pass and the children…”
63. R. (02:16:05) Nation means a certain kind of will to receive in order to receive, other than control on a person, that was in the intention too bestow and now suddenly he will get the will to receive in order to receive that covers his will to bestow that he has before and now is dwelling in a person.
Reader continues: (02:16:28) “They tasted sufficient flavor….”
64. R. (02:17:36) Meaning there’s a problem you have to work in some kind of connection with the King of Egypt so a true prayer can come, and if he dies and disappears, so what can you speak about, what can you tell about, what can you ask for? Also nothing. Until they find themselves in the combination of between all the forces that will aim them specifically towards the goal. Until then they are perplexed.
Reader continues: (02:18:10) “And they were immediately saved…”
Excerpt 208 (02:18:23)
65. R. (02:20:31) The main thing is in order to bestow, is holiness and in order to receive is a Klipa, the shell.
66. S. (02:20:48) What’s unclear is and the cry from the work, it’s before the king of Egypt died or after that and what’s the difference and is that correct?
R. I don’t understand.
S. In the last excerpt it says that the children of Israel sighed from the work. Which is before the Egyptian king died. In the previous excerpt it says the King of Egypt died.
R. That’s a different kind of cry, that’s a different cry, correct.
S. When does the exit or exodus of Egypt occur, before or after, and also it tells us how they fled Pharaoh?
R. I can’t explain it because even after they run away from Egypt, so that’s called Pharaoh lives and even closing the door behind them, in the exodus and then he sends the army after them and then he sees that the army is chasing them so they jump into the sea, into the Red Sea, Yam Suf, and there’s a lot of things in it. Actually it’s not so important either, it’s revealed anyway on its own. We need to understand that Pharaoh is the force that it has all kinds of forms so maybe it’s not Pharaoh but still it constantly chase after people who want to leave in order to receive and to in order to bestow and he won’t let them, so easy and and happiness, to go from corporeality to spirituality. It’s all in order to format them correctly, to adapt them better to the Creator, because the created being has to be incorporated from two forces, the internal force of will to receive and the external force the intention to bestow.
67. S. (02:23:43) It says that the suffering was too much for them to bear, what is the suffering?
R. We have in spirituality when we speak about coming out of Egypt, the sufferings were such that they couldn’t do actions in order to bestow and that’s what they suffered from.
S. Meaning until we obtain the suffering we won’t be able to exit Egypt?
R. Of course. We don’t feel suffering from not being able to bestow yet. We have many opportunities to bestow if you want and we ourselves don’t want it when we will watch a bit so then we’ll see that it’s not so simple to bestow, that we need forces, the screen, and so on.
68. S. (02:25:05) When will we be able to identify that the king of Egypt died in the ten?
R. When you will discover that the ego within relationships between you is the king of Egypt and when you’ll want to bring it to death, pray and ask for it to happen, and then you’ll see that he died.
S. How do I know that my relations are egoistic? What kind of connection do I need in order to understand, how can I understand that I am correctly connected to the ten?
R. At least, what, you don’t see how you relate to the friends?
S. On the inside there’s fire, on the inside but on the outside I really try not to show it.
R. Why?
S. Because I don’t want to ignite fire in the ten.
R. Why if it is the fire of love? It’s a good thing.
S. No, no, far from that.
R. So exactly this, work on this, there so it won’t won’t be a burning fire right that harms.
S. In annulment?
R. Annulment, but of course.
S. What to block it, cover it?
R. You have to show your whole ten that you love them and that you really want to cover them with the Tabernacle of Peace, with a covering of love, cover of love, as Rabash writes.
S. I need to act it out, make believe?
R. In the beginning you act, and then the acting still works as a prayer, and so you’ll get those forces.
69. S. (02:27:51) What does it mean to implement the morning lesson throughout the day?
R. What we were talking about, try to live in it all day in the group.
70. S. (02:28:07) I just heard the main problem is that we’re not connecting.
R. True.
S. Is that because we still don’t feel what the spiritual connection is and how do we resolve this?
R. Yes because you don’t believe me that this is what you’re supposed to do, that’s the main thing.
71. S. (02:28:33) Would it be correct to gather all the friends out of all the friends and to pray together, to pray for all the friends that haven’t joined yet, to join?
R. Physically?
S. To arrange everyone in change there aren’t yet in tens?
R. Of course we have to put everyone in tens so they have a vessel before them that they need to correct.
72. S. (02:29:13) What does it mean to truly invest in a spiritual ten?
R. True investment for a spiritual ten is that it will be a spiritual ten, that they’ll be in such a connection between them that the mutual force of love and bestowal will be revealed between them and in that force when they try to establish that between them they can reveal the Creator.
73. S. (02:29:39) What’s the difference between and they cried before the death of the Egyptian King and after?
R. It’s a big difference in the forces that’s between us in the ten or the ego works, burns and distances us from one another or or we can already overcome and start getting closer.
S. How does it affect our prayer?
R. According to that we could put together a prayer.
74. S. (02:30:35) Yesterday you mentioned the abbreviation you made for Psalms, many friends were happy that it’s possible to read it with the Psalms in a simple way. How should we translate it into Hebrew or Russian or other languages?
R. No. I won’t do it. It was a time I did it for something if you want you can read it, I think it’s there in the archive somewhere. What I write I always write it and then I put it in some kind of archive and I forget about it, that’s it.
S. It already exists in Russian, the question is should it be translated into Hebrew?
R. I don’t think so, it’s already in Hebrew and they can read the Psalms themselves. I don’t know. Check, check if you can, maybe it will bring people closer, I don’t think it’s so important. It’s good for someone who doesn’t have Hebrew as a language, so it’ll be closer to them, yes.
75. S. (02:32:03) It’s easier to spread the Tabernacle of Peace over the friends, than to come closer to them, how to resolve that?
R. That’s not right, that means it’s a lie. The Tabernacle of Peace that I cover everyone with my love and wholeness, I want them to exist, it’s something very hard, very difficult.
That’s it for today, the topic was pretty…, I recommend to listen to again what I speak about at the beginning of the lesson, what it means about this is the king of Egypt and we’ll keep going with God’s help tomorrow and they sighed from the work, that without that feeling you can’t perform that exodus.
