Rabash 48. Right, Wholeness, and Truth

1. Rav’s Introduction:

Rabash 48 (00:28 ) Right Wholeness and Truth: Twice

R. (02:46) What does he want to tell us? That if a person feels that he is small relative to the Creator that the Creator determines everything and everything depends on the Creator, and a person feels in that even the slightest connection with the Creator, but he is already happy in that even sometimes with meager forces but nevertheless he is connected to the Creator out of that he already has right, wholeness and truth. Meaning everything depends on how great the Creator is in one’s eyes and how much he values the connection. Even the small connection that he has with the Creator he sees as an important connection from that one has wholeness.

2. S. (04:04) It says in the text that the Creator is happy with a person when he observes his commandments, what are his commandments? Is that for the  individual and the group and the world? What are the Commandments?

R. Love your friend as yourself and following that, love the Lord your God. These are the commandments that we have to observe. Mitzva, commandment means Tzivuiy, a command, a directive. The Creator created the system which is the connection between the Creator and man. This system has to reach its corrections and in the corrections all the people in the world need to reach a state where they feel the Creator. They are adhered to the Creator. They know him. In everything that is revealed in them and all the vessels that are revealed in them and all their desires is what we call in the heart and in the mind. This is what we have to reach and we can reach. We can reach that only on the condition that we connect between us to the extent that we connect between us, it is called from the love of people to love of the Creator. This is how we keep this MItzva, this directive to bring the whole of creation to unity, to a single system.

3. S. (06:10) What kind of service to each state, even the lowest state, can you always give to the Creator?

R. No one can do anything for the Creator directly because He has no lack.  The Creator has no lack. So what can we do? He wants his created beings to enjoy Him. That they will connect with Him, that they will receive from him everything that He has. Therefore the created beings that wish to give contentment to the Creator, they have to be connected among themselves with the intention that they’re doing it not in order for it to be good for them, because in that you cannot truly feel them. Rather that they want to do good to Him because by this their vessels will be unlimited and through that they can give Him contentment. That is, if we will create such connections between us that they will be only for the sake of others, then our vessels, our desires will be entirely unlimited and we will be able to be filled by the Creator in all the greatest fulfillments and by this we will give Him contentment. That is all.

4. S. (08:07) How do I check that I truly serve the king and not my will to receive?

R. By being in a ten and working in the ten you see how difficult it is to come closer to the friends. How much you have between you all kinds of conflicts, the feeling of distance, the revelation of all kinds of egoistic calculations between one and the other until you would want to kill one another. To reach the highest degrees of hatred, which does not exist in humanity ordinarily but in those who are working in order to come closer internally between them, then spiritual forces, true great forces become revealed and they feel such rejection that they cannot skip over it. They cannot compliment it in any way. Then they feel that only the Creator can help them. Then they need the Creator. That’s why it is written from the love of people to the love of the Creator. Because when we work on the connection between us in the group, we discover how much we are not capable of it.

That there’s always all kinds of disturbances and more and more and more internal disturbances and deeper ones, and if we don’t run away but rather we remind each other that we are nevertheless obligated to be connected even though it doesn’t seem to us that it is possible and we have no deficiency for it. However, if we do remind each other and work on this deficiency that we will have it. Bit by bit we come to a state where we are not capable of it. I am better off dead. We can’t. That well I can’t let him kill me, but I can’t do it. I’m close to the friends so much that earlier I thought that I could do it, just like ordinary people or children, but when we reach the spiritual discernments which awaken in us bit by bit, then we realize that it is impossible. I feel even farther away, even more isolated from the friends. Once we could sit together and embrace and sing and eat together and everything and later the simple things it becomes harder and harder to do them.

Even though we understand that this is happening to us that is happening to us as we continue on the path. We read about it in history, how the great sages, the Kabbalist who attained godliness were sitting in Jerusalem, in the academy studying the laws of connection there. We see the materials that they wrote for us, eventually how much sometimes the hatred would overcome them and they would erupt with wars and such conflicts that you cannot believe it. That this is happening in a nation which was founded entirely for the purpose of love of others. Meaning, this is how it is, that the more we advance, we will feel, each one will feel himself, as being inside of his vessel unable to connect with others and he doesn’t care about the others and he simply doesn’t feel.

He feels himself isolated from the others, so what to do then? We have to discover that and not hide it and not just to talk about it, that we are in love and in connection, how beautiful it is to be together. We need to discover these things in truth. How difficult it is for us to be even in the same inclination towards each other that we had before, that we were capable of connecting and how today it’s more formal, more cold. Even though I understand in my head that there has to be a connection but in my heart I cannot keep it. We have to discover that and not hide it and not just to talk about it that we are in love and in connection with how beautiful it is to be together. We need to discover these things in truth. How difficult it is for us to be even in the same inclination towards each other that we had before, that we were capable of connecting and how today it’s more formal, more cold even though I understand in my head that there has to be connection but in my heart I cannot keep it.

Then we reached the understanding of who we are and where we are and also where does it come from and who is giving us these states. So what are we going to do? We advance, love covers all crimes. The crimes are that we don’t want to be connected between us but we once agreed we determined that this is how it needs to be according to what the Kabbalists wrote to us that this is what you have to do. Therefore, we nevertheless have to see these things with wide-open eyes. That love covers all crimes. The Creator reveals the crimes, He shattered our vessel and this is why we feel ourselves that each one is on his own, that each one wants to distance himself, and the more our desire grows through the upper light that grows, that shines more.

We feel ourselves, each one as more independent, farther away from the others, the more he has a greater mind, a greater emotion, a greater understanding, he feels himself that he is far away. It’s very simple and he cannot do anything with himself. That is true, we are far away and we cannot do anything with ourselves but along with that with the fact that we have such a state, this actually pushes us towards the importance of connection. How exalted it is, and far away on the one hand. On the other hand, we must connect because only through that we will reach the Creator. We will discover him between us, and therefore this is our goal.

We are walking on two legs, left, right, distancing, nearing,distancing, nearing, advancing, nearing and also through rejection and connection, rejection and connection This is how we advance. Then we learn between us what is the wisdom of Kabbalah, the science of Kabbalah,truly why is this wisdom a science? It is a great problem to connect. If we all exist within our ego, which becomes revealed within us more and more, and we need to check how much our nature is entirely egoistic. This is what the Creator says, I created an evil inclination and those people throughout the whole of humanity who have in them a great high evil inclination, not in human society those people who you want to manage people.

To be the Prime Minister or to be brutal or steal money from everyone but rather the will to receive that has a higher quality. Then one who is greater than his friend, his inclination is greater. Those people specifically come to us to the study. Then the Creator wants to bring them specifically closer to Him those with the great ego. This is why it is difficult for them to connect and the more they study, even though they don’t feel an inclination towards connection, they nevertheless come to the study and they keep going, because they have no choice. They feel that this is the method that eventually explains to us about the future of humanity. This is how we will advance. There are many questions in that. This is our whole life but this is how we will advance.

This is why the most important thing for us is to keep going, that’s it. Shut your mouth this is what the sages say, shut your mouth and keep going. It is written shut up, this is what comes up in the thought. This is what the Creator says, in this way I do know that I will bring you to the end of correction. For eternity and otherwise it is impossible to be similar to me. That you will reach a state where you will be similar to me. Meaning eternal and whole. Only in such a way that these two forces will exist in you. The force of the ego, the great will to receive and also the great connection above it. This is why we all need to be ready, to be composed of these two opposing forces and to advance with these two forces.

This is why our path is not simple because each time new desires are revealed and in each new desire, this study of left and right, a great ego and the connection above it, is always new. What we had today, won’t be suitable for tomorrow. What I did yesterday is not suitable today. Meaning, we cannot advance as people with experience. Our experience regarding yesterday is not suitable today and this is why each time we are confused. How can we overcome and what to do with the will to receive that is renewed and grows stronger? Well,this is the work. I hear about these things each and every day and I’m used to them already. Nevertheless I’ve been in this profession for 40 years. What can we do?

S. Does the feeling of depending on the Creator dependence on the Creator mean that I served him?

R. You serve the Creator only on the condition that you connect with the friends upon the rejection. Because He created the evil inclination and He gave it to us and placed it in us so that above this evil inclination we will connect and in that way we will get to know what is the good inclination. Where does the good inclination come from? When we try to overcome the rejections, the gaps between us, we understand that we are not capable of it, we feel that we cannot come closer to each other and then we ask of the Creator and then the Creator does it. He who makes peace in the heavens will make peace upon us. That’s it.

This is how we talked about the revelation of the Creator in the created being. This is how the Creator dresses than us and reveals to HIs forces, the force of connection upon the force of disconnection. This is why each time He creates disconnections between us so that we will demand from Him connections.

S. Quantity is to speak of these disconnections. How important is it to touch it?

R. Because by this we discover I created the evil inclination that it comes from the Creator and this is our work. To look at the evil inclination from the side, This is not me but rather it is the Creator revealing desires in us as he created for us the evil inclination, now he will reveal in us the good inclination and we will be operating with both of these desires because we has created beings cannot live only in the bad or only in the good, we cannot. This is why He reveals it in us, these two desires.

5. S. (23:38) Not only in this article he writes that there’s the law of nature, the little anuls before the great one, why is there such a status as a law of nature?

R. You’re talking in relation to what? That the small in us before the great? This is truly within nature because a great desire rulels over the small desire. This is how the development of the desires works. There’s nothing in our nature besides desire and when the desire grows it swallows the smaller desire. meaning its earlier form and it develops through it.

6. S. (24:31) Can we say that the Creator is showing us how we grow distant between each other and on the other hand if we don’t come to closeness between us we will show how empty we are and impure?

R. Of course, both this and that come from the Creator. All the thoughts and desires and intentions, it all comes from Him. We need to attribute everything to Him, that the person only feels whatever he’s going through Him. He attributes it to the Creator that it passes through him and whatever is passing through him attributes everything to the Creator. Then in this way he is constantly checking himself then he attaches himself through all of these thoughts and all of these desires to the Creator and by this he reaches constant adhesion.

7. S. (25:46) There’s a wonderful feeling when I have the greatness of the Creator, greatness of the friends but together with that there’s trembling relative to the next moment and the next degree how to balance yourself here?

R. That’s attention. It’s only about attention, more and more and more you should want to hear what the Kabbalists passed on to you through the teacher, through the text, this is how it is. It will come.

8. S. (26:33) According to the article it says that a person has to believe the greatness of the Creator believe that He is doing it ,everything comes from Him, how should we simultaneously make actions in the ten and believe that we are giving him pleasure

R. We can do everything or all of us at once. Each one listens and according to his individual states, he tries to implement it. That’s it. All of us together we can’t do it but if each and every one of us is in all kinds of different states and out of these states he understands that the most important is to reach the internal connection, only internal connection in the ten. As much as it may seem to us that this is not so important, this is the most important goal.

The most important is that we will reach an internal connection between us. So if each and every one in each and every moment that he remembers it that he is being reminded from heaven, he tries to reach a state connection or a prayer for connection and with the friends. That is that he wants to reach a state where he will bring this connection to the Creator as a gift. As a gift. This is actually the work of each and every one. If we will try to be in this disposition then certainly in a short time we will reach other advanced feelings.

S. We used to talk about it, and if I understand correctly, talk about how each action we’re carrying if we’re not tying it to the Creator, this action is meaningless,so how to practically realize this action. Let’s say I connect to the friends in the ten. How do I turn it into practical action?

R. But what are you doing at for? Why are you calling friends and awakening them? But you are already wide awake. You can connect to the lesson, so what’s the problem ?

S. How will I Know The Creator is enjoying this I just don’t know?

R. You need to have faith in the sages, before you reach the vessel you won’t feel it. You won’t feel it but in that you are going and connecting the friends by this you are truly physically connecting them, and later on you hear the lesson together, you connect, you speak the way we are speaking now about the purpose of the connection and how to implement it more correctly, how to establish ourselves better, then by this you are causing the establishment of the ten. The ten is already a spiritual vessel. Each one to some extent annuls before the others in order to reach a collective annulment of everyone before everyone, to some extent and by this they become compatible with their qualities towards the Creator. The Creator is completely annulled and if you connect between you through annulment, mutual annulment to some extent, then all-in-all, you build a certain template and model an example by which you resemble the Creator.

According to this congruence you will start to feel some illumination shining on you. There is some force which is above you or between you and then you will feel that you are coming closer to the Creator or the Creator is coming closer to you. Following such exercises you will start to feel how much the connection between you under all kinds of conditions is promoting you between you and to the Creator. That you are coming closer to the Creator or the clear later is coming closer to you and following such exercises you will start to feel how much the connection between you under all kinds of conditions is promoting you between you and to the Creator. Then it turns out that you have already begun walking like a little child. He doesn’t know how to walk but somehow he moves.

This is how you will start to come closer to the Creator and to already be on the path, another step and another step, one foot ,the other foot, and you will feel that the Creator is placing your feet just like we take the feet of the toddler and we place them this way so he will know what is required of him. This is how we will begin to feel the Creator’s actions with us, that he is in place putting our feet, right foot, left foot and this is how we will learn how to advance. Meaning we will start to feel that He is present in our actions. In that we begin to come to a state where each and every action we will want to discover Him and we will discover Him specifically in such actions it’s not that I am walking with my feet and in an embrace with the friends are something else. No, but rather it is the Creator who is doing it and I in my actions when I try to do it this way I start to discover Him that he is moving my hands and my legs and he is filling up the air between us.

S. What should we add to each action in the ten so this will be ascribed to the Creator?

R. This is that we have to aim our actions to the Creator, this is what we need to do.

S. It’s not clear what it means to aim an action to the Creator concretely. We do certain actions, let’s say we do something in the ten and we want to know it’s aimed at the Creator and it’s not just something mechanical with your friends.

R. You start with the fact that it’s written that you have to do it, to connect with your friends. Now you need to think, what am I doing it for? What am I causing by this? How should the Creator relate to this and how should I relate to Him? Where in our actions that are awakened now we want the Creator to appear? All kinds of questions. The more you ask, the more you will cook it, as we call it.

The more you will cook these things together eventually you will feel that you have through each and every little action, but it is in a group action and as much that you are coming closer to the feeling of the Creator, to discover Him, to search for Him, to feel Him, because the Creator is felt in the connection between you. So how do we, by connecting between us, trying to connect, with our effort there we feel the Creator. This is why the Creator called Boreh, Bo-Reh, come and see; come means come closer and see meaning in this way you’ll discover Him, that this is how He exists.

3. (35:45) Does this mean that as long as we have not arrived at the great degree of hatred, does it mean that we are far from the complete correction, complete connection?

R. It has to be with two legs, hatred love, hatred love, upon all crimes, meaning hatred, you will discover love. This is how it has to be, this is how we advance. Just see, with if our world would know this law of approaching the upper force, because hatred is revealed and we don’t know how to cover it with love, and we have to walk on both legs, minus and plus, you can’t have one without the other, and this is why they do not succeed. This is why all over the world there is no success. They only discovered that they do not succeed.

All of our force of advancement is not in that we succeed but rather how much I do not succeed and the other does not succeed, and in that we have the competition between all the different countries and all the different nations, but we need to do these things inside of us, inside of our groups. That we have the revelation of the rejection, distancin, and along with that the revelation of connection, and we shouldn’t feel ashamed that I don’t have an inclination towards connection, in the correct form, for the work, we always, we constantly feel that we are disconnected from each other, and this is actually an inclination to be in a constant inclination towards connection between us. This is how it is.

S. Until we are not feeling hatred in between us, are we not really progressing? Of course we should overcome this hatred, but until we don’t feel enough hatred we are not progressing right?

R. Yes, on our path towards the end of correction, hate love, hate love, these two states intermittently, must appear in us, will always appear in us. He who is greater than his friend his inclination is greater, meaning the more we advance, the more we will discover hate and rejection, and also between us, between them, between the revelation of hatred, their hate will see more of love, and it we’ll be like mad people, hate and love, hate and love. What can you do? This has to be. Wise people understand it, and also recommend, sometimes, to artificially create a conflict, an argument, an intentional argument, but a controlled argument, controlled conflict. Then by that, they become craftsmen, as it’s called, we know how to advance. Also states in the groups, we should understand that it’s impossible to advance without separation and conflict, over which we bring connection with our own efforts, our own exertion, and that should be our work.

Each time we will discover, more and more, how much we are in control of both the minus and the plus. When we reach the difference between the minus and the plus, as they keep growing distant from one another, we will discover the Creator, that’s why it’s called Creator come and see, you have reached the minus and you see the plus, that means that love will cover all the crimes, that’s why the Creator is revealed in the gap between the two. So the one who does not try to reject everything but rather understands that we need to have more descents and minus, more ascents and plus, he will eventually come to a state where the Creator is revealed, because in this small gap and when we still can’t understand how to arrange ourselves between the rejection and connection, we can’t reveal Him, we can’t understand Him. But later it’s revealed, and we understand, and we’ll advance.

10. S. (41:58) In this article it speaks, it mentions a few times faith, believing. What does it mean that one believes in the greatness of the Creator? What does it mean believe, faith?

R. Believe, faith means that we try to keep the Mitzva, the commandant, of connection as much as possible, by trying to be connected, in spite of these mutual repulsions in the group. By that we invite the Reforming Light. It brings us the light of faith. Such an Illumination in which we feel the connection with the upper force. That he is governing us, is moving us and what we do between us we ascribe it all to Him. Returned to Him.

S. So here I see that we are making many efforts to strengthen our faith but still, for example, the feeling of the Creator, it only goes away, farther away and are feeling.

R. The feeling that you are more distant than before is a correct feeling and it’s an indication of the right progress. It’s like people who enter a certain study, a certain, try to express a certain wisdom, a certain science, and before they get into it they think that it’s not a problem, but once they get into it they begin to understand the depth there, how it goes deeper and deeper, and this is indeed a sign that you are advancing.

11. S. (44:13) So precisely about this I wanted also to ask, about this law that he’s explaining to us here, that if one believes in the greatness and importance of the Creator, this is the problem, I think the philosopher professor Krasnoff also tried to understand it, that we keep forgetting about this intention, we perform all these actions but we forget about the intention. How can we remind each other all the time about this intention because it’s truly a big problem?

R. True, it is a big problem and it will remain this way, because we have to work on this problem specifically “each shall help his friend”.

S. So we have to create some mechanism, build some mechanism that will remind us?

R. Correct, try it.

12. S. (45:22) In the ten we work a lot but, besides the lesson I don’t manage to tolerate anyone in the ten, including the one who is managing us, and I can’t.

R. You need to try and tolerate the whole world, and love the friends in the ten. That should be the direction. Meaning people who are outside of the ten, they don’t know why they exist, what for, what’s happening with them, why do they live, that’s a problem. For the time being they are like animals, as you can see in animals, little children, they don’t know what’s happening, why they do what they do, and people are the same. We are in a time where our society needs to grow more and more, and bring the knowledge of the purpose of development to all of humanity and it will happen quite quickly. This will happen quite quickly. So you don’t need to tolerate them, suffer them, you just need to relate to them nicely. Since you will soon reach such a spiritual state where you’ll be able to bestow to them, even without words. Maybe with a little bit of words, and they’ll understand that there is a purpose to our development. I don’t know what to do. You see, we read five lines, and we are in it for fifty minutes. How can we advance? I guess not according to the lines.

13. S. (47:38) You talked about when you reach the minus you see the plus. Is the plus always the greatness of the goal and the greatness of the friends?

R. Yes. It’s certain. The greatness of the friends and behind that the greatness of the Creator, because through the Creator I can reach and through those qualities I attain between the friends.

14. S. (48:29) In continuation to what you’re telling us about the way of the Kabbalist, ups and downs, what do you think about the workshop questions like we had today, for example, tell us how happy you are that the friends are standing inside of your heart. This was in the beginning of the lesson, in preparation, and being in the focus group it’s a little bit different, difficult to answer that. Is it good to have such questions already, early before the lesson?

R. What happens before the lesson, you don’t have to manage that. What’s happening there, that’s your business, I don’t belong to it. So gradually it’s possible that these things will change and we will assume a different form,a different attitude. Don’t learn from yesterday to today. You can change everything there. As long as before the lesson you will be even a little bit connected, but you will know why you came to study. That’s the main thing.

15. S. (49:53) You gave before to advise that seemed to contradict each other, so I want to understand how to settle them. The first you gave is about, talking about the difficulty, just to remind each other and say how beautiful it is to be connected, to be together, but to reveal things, but it’s hard for us to be together. Opposite that he gave a second advice, to be silent, shut up, like the sages say, shut up this is what came up in the thought. So when do we speak and when do we keep silent?

R. We need to speak sometimes, to a certain degree, about each and every state we are going through. We also need to speak about a state where we need to keep quiet, because silence means that even when the Creator drops a certain mood on me, and certain thoughts and desires, such that are going against the Creator, against the group, against our path, and everything, I must hold myself in that same direction, patiently and not agree with it. Nevertheless, believe what the sages are telling me. The Kabbalist wrote about it, that anything the Creator created, He will always advance you through the left and through the right. That’s why we need to accept it. I’m feeling rejection, nice, on that it says anything but leave. I’m willing to feel and tolerate everything, but to leave, I disagree with that. I don’t want to become a beast like the rest of the world.

S. So how, to what you call a controlled conflict in the ten, if you can guide us. How do we do such a thing? We speak from the good side but also from the bad side, the two legs, how to do it correctly? How to awaken these inclinations between us correctly

R. Talk about it between you and decide how to do it. How can we speak about how we sometimes can’t stay on the path but nevertheless we stay on the path.? If you’re in a group you can talk about everything.

S. You also said that each time new desires are revealed, in every new desire there’s a great ego in connection above it, and what I did today is not going to be good enough for tomorrow, so we can advance through experience, and each time we’re confused. So what is renewed every day in every state. Why the method and the advice of the Kabbalists don’t make us to be people with experience?

R. On that it says they should be as new in your eyes, because the will to receive is the foundation of creation. There’s nothing that is at the foundation of creation except our will to receive. Hence when the Creator, is how should I put it,when the Creator changes it, makes it bigger, He turns the knob just a little bit, on His end, it changes our will to receive, and the whole world feels a greater will to receive. The Creator’s doing this, in truth, from moment to moment. Except on each moment there are knobs on the still, vegetative, animate, and speaking degree.

Five buttons and then we feel changes, the world changes each moment, I change, each time I get new desires. Where do I get it from? It’s because the Creator, who is called the one who renews the act of creation each day, and that’s how we advance. Now the question is how much are we aware of it, are we conscious of it, and each and every moment how much I am in lock-step with the Creator. I wish to feel inside of me how he is changing my desires, and how I, by receiving these desires from Him and how I, by receiving these desires from Him, how do I enter into a mutual connection with Him? Then by correctly processing these desires how can I bestow and return to Him? How by that I come into contact with Him. He to me and I to Him.

S. Meaning these new desires that appear each time, we have no experience, it’s always new, we always start from zero, from nothing?

R. Yes we have experience in what transpired before, how these desires are close to what we had yesterday, that same style of what was happening to us in this world, as we call it. We know how to get along with that but, this is called the world keeps acting the way it’s used to, but in these desires we feel we are again and again inside this vortex, because the new spiritual desires that are awakening in us, we don’t feel them as something nice and good,. They bring us confusion, separation, conflicts, the main thing is instability perhaps, instability let’s say, insecurity perhaps.

S. My question now is how do we reach a state where we don’t chase after the Creator all the time but we walk along with Him, in lock-step, each time He increases our desire we go hand-in-hand with Him?

R. It’s only with the support of the society. This is called Arvut. Here this purely is where the Arvut aims by being connected. Anything, any little thing the Creator changes. He changes, He turns the knob in the will to receive, in our personal will to receive, in all of us, as it changes we know how to get along, because we are in Arvut. It’s that he is making these big waves in the big sea, and it’s the sea of the Sitra Achra, the other side, and we can remain in the boat and be certain that we are holding onto the sides of the ship. Until we reach our safe haven.

16. S. (58:38) Pieces of knowledge that we use for guidance these knobs that you said we have to use the still, vegetative, animate, and…

R. In the still, vegetative, and animate degrees we arrange ourselves in such a way that, according to what we can do. Because we are in a world that is entirely on the animate level. Everyone are like animals, that’s how it’s written about this world, our world, but if we wish to reposition ourselves and adapt ourselves to spirituality, this is the speaking degree, because in our lives here we are called animals. If we’re talking about humans, humans are those who have a certain connection between them in order to bestow, because they are Bnei Adam, the sons of Adam, the result of that Adam the Creator created is something special, since this image has to reach equivalence with the Creator, similarity with the Creator, that’s why it’s called Adam, from the word Domeh, similar, then we are on the level of Adam, on the human level, we have to realize the wisdom of Kabbalah or otherwise we remain as animals.

S. What does it mean that we are on the level of Adam, human?

R. Because in the tens, in love your friend as yourself, when we absorb it and we establish between us the qualities of the Creator, which is love, and the whole connection, we gradually come to love, but connection first. Plus we understand that we depend on one another, we have to find the correct connections with one another, for the sake of the other, meaning to reach mutual guarantee, Arvut Hadadit and then from this mutual guarantee to reach love, such connection, whereby I begin to feel the other the way I feel myself. This is already a spiritual feeling. When a person comes out of his animal and enters his soul where by I begin to feel the other the way I feel myself this is already a spiritual feeling. When a person comes out of his animal and he enters his soul.

S. In this feeling of the others, when we come out of myself to the ten, how following that we have a discussion of the Creator?

R. We feel a connection with the Creator inside the connection between us, this is called from the love of the created beings to the love of the Creator. These are two degrees that we build in the connection between us. Such connection, let’s say in the ten, in which we can detect or implement the qualities of bestowal, and these qualities of bestowal are truly similar to the quality of the Creator, to bestowal, and then we begin to feel. Just like in all of our qualities, when we feel something, we feel it according to equivalence, equivalence of qualities, so in the ten let’s say, we begin to feel the Creator.

This is according to the laws of nature, all the laws, except the laws in this world, they act within a narrow framework, let’s say from here to here, but nevertheless it’s still according to equivalence of form. I cannot grasp or detect a certain wave with an instrument that I built unless it knows this way, it has to generate this wave inside of it and then it’ll understand what’s happening to it in such a way that it exists on the outside, this is called equivalence of form. We are the same in the te,n we must connect and establish such a state, such a quality in the connection between us, that is similar to the Creator. Then in the ten we become an instrument that absorbs, that receives the Creator, then the Creator is revealed, is revealed in the ten, even between two, not even ten, between two friends.

S. We try to bestow to each other, to come out of myself, to the ten, where here is the response from the Creator?

R. When you understand that you have done everything in order to connect and bring yourself to the kind of connection that fits the Creator. If you try to establish such a state, then you will reach such an advanced states where the Creator is shining to you from afar.

17. S. (01:04:39) What we call love appears always above hatred? Can we trust evolution here?

R. Also evolutionary development is built on minus plus, minus plus, minus plus, with opposing forces of nature are revealed, like volcanoes and flooding and various explosions, and collisions between bodies In space stars planets and so on and so forth, and in this way the universe develops until it comes to a certain equilibrium, relative to equilibrium, and until it comes to a state where a life-form can begin to develop on top of these celestial bodies. That’s how it always happens. The laws are the same, except the degrees in which they happen are different: The still, vegetative, animate and the degree of the speaking, human. That degree is more problematic because we don’t have any examples to guide us around this. On the still, vegetative, animated degrees we can see in our environment we can see all those phenomena, all those manifestations.

18. S. (01:06:37) Earlier you explained the sentence “they should be new in your eyes everyday”, the Creator arranges for us everyday opportunities you even said every moment, nevertheless there are friends who have kind of a book a ledger and they tell me to my face a sentence like “we know you for a long time” and all kinds of other guidelines. I have no problem subjugating myself and saying you’re right but how can I truly help this friend so he will see that every day we need to start a new slate and you page?

R. We need to set an example. Nothing but that. Less talking more personal example.

S. Okay I can say to him you’re right or tell myself that…

R. Instead of saying instead of saying, set an example. Not using words but using actions.

S. But what should I tell him you’re right or?

R. No no, don’t say. Do you hear me? Don’t say.

S. But he’s telling me he’s waiting for an answer.

R. So the answer is, you’ll give him an answer by doing, by doing. That’s it. Listen to me finally.

19. S. (01:08:09) We can feel that because of the concern of breaking the connection in the ten, many times we avoid criticism and the left line. So, should we maybe set some time, let’s say once a week where we talk about these things or only some friend explodes then we bring up such a topic?

R. This I cannot say, depends on the ten, depends on the states, depends on the topic. But you need to talk about it sometimes. In truth the action that you’re performing will determine the future and not the words, not the talking. When you begin to talk so those who can speak then take up time and place and then they spin everything according to what they want. It depends on the level of the group, I cannot say. I see that finally we are done with it. We still have the other half of the audience which are the women. Let’s go to them.

20. S. (01:09:35) Without rejection towards the friends can we have a lack for bestowing?

R. Yes.

21. S. (01:09:44) Does rejection towards the friends awaken when you’re actually looking for bestowal to come from them, not from the Creator?

R. No. It all comes from the Creator which is I have to understand what I see in the friends I see through Him?

22. S. (01:10:04) Does the feeling of connection with the Creator depend on the person or on the Creator?

R. The feeling of the connection depends only on the Creator.

23. S. (01:10:22) When I discover a distance between me and the friends should I tell this to the friends? How to reveal it to them or do I keep quiet?

R. You have to think about it, typically it’s better to keep quiet.

24. S. (01:10:42) What does hatred mean and what if there is no hatred towards the friends?

R. So it’s not revealed, there’s no question.

25. S. (01:11:09) how to learn to take into consideration the gaps and not to erase them?

R. We have to talk about them. The more they talk about it even if they won’t attain a certain result but the discussion itself about the problem brings the friends closer.

26. S. (01:11:40) what to do if there is a concern talking about the gaps and hatred in the ten because it can hurt the friends?

R. So don’t be afraid to hurt the friends, on the contrary we have to establish the truth and the goal of the society higher than where we are whether or not we can hurt someone.

27. S. (01:12:06) When evil is revealed between us usually these sensations don’t allow us to remember and to internalize it, we have to stop it immediately and turn to the Creator so how not to get stuck in that situation? How to shorten the time between the revelation of evil and covering it with love?

R. Talk about the importance of connections, since after all until we connect we won’t reach the goal and, don’t see the goal as something that’s not connected to connection; the goal is revealed in the connection between us. When we reach a connection, we reach the goal. That’s it.

28. S. (01:12:44) During the revelation of evil will we hate everyone or only our ten, our group?

R. No. First of all, the main thing is the ten.

29. S. (01:13:07) When the Creator awakens a negative state in the ten, how can we see the positive side of this behind it?

R. When I understand that this thing is coming from the Creator, I will turn to Him and ask Him to change my attitude to the ten from a negative one, to a positive one.

30. S. (01:13:30) You said that the Creator renews my desires, He changes them. If the light is constant, how is such an innovation possible?

R. Whatever I feel in each and every moment is what the Creator is doing to me. Also, with all of the friends. None of them is doing something that she decides to do, what is she the Creator? No, she is a created being. All created beings except what the Creator is awakening in them, at each and every moment. And, if we wish to connect all the friends together then by that we are simply building the Creator as it says “you have made me”.

31. S. (01:14:23) The Creator gives us new desires so what does it mean that the light doesn’t change that it is fixed?

R. The upper light is in absolute rest, this means that the love of the Creator and His attitude towards us is permanently set on absolute love.
