The Ruin as an Opportunity for Correction – Selected Excerpts from the Sources. #12

1. Rav’s Introduction: Yes, the correction that we need to make upon this is that the Creator broke the vessel of Adam HaRishon so all the parts of these vessels feel themselves distant opposites for hating one another and so on. Their correction is in connection but in connection it doesn’t annul the previous corruption, this is what we learned before in the first parts of the document before us that it’s not a corruption by correction rather the corruption must be, and as much as we advance in spiritual attainment we will more and more feel the corruption, the records that have woken in us from the shattering, they will be more and more bigger shattering, bigger records, more important and we will feel how much the gap is truly more and more greater between us and between us to the Creator such that as it is written on the students of Rabbi Shimon that they wanted to kill one another, that’s on one hand and also towards the Creator that will feel ourselves such that we are not just far rather we are opposite from Him to such an extent that we hate and we reject and we don’t want, that’s how it happens during the time of the shattering.

The time of correction is the opposite of this, the states will be very very contrasting of shattering and correction, darkness and light, day night and day and we correct these things not towards the direction that we’re erasing the night and the gap between them rather that we rise above both these discernments, that the darkness should illuminate as the light then in such a manner we will advance and reveal precisely the same connection, the same attitude, the same connection that we need to attain. Which is not exactly like the corruptions and corrections in our world, rather they have a different flow such that both these and these complete one another and they bring us to their one source that in which everything comes together and in such we reach that He will be in that day as He is one and His name is one.

That also the coarseness, darkness, breakings, hate, and also refinement, light, love, all this will connect together. We don’t understand how this could be but it will connect together and the entire creation is in sum total will reveal to us it’s one source, the Upper force. So, let’s see what exactly is happening in the correction of the shattering as the name of the document that we are reading now, that its correction is a correction in us not that we’re doing something outside of us, that it is in order to correctly connect all the different opposing parts of creation and not that one will dominate over the others although sometimes it’s written in that manner rather the main thing for us is to perform what Kabbalists advise us to do and then we’ll see how much all of creation is one thing; unique and whole.

Reading Item #12: (05:18) “The intention of creation was for all to be one bundle …” Twice.

2. S. (09:49) This addition of doing the Creator’s will to become one bundle, does that always need to be added in our work?

R. We need to reform to establish a correct desire from our part which is broken, which is opposite, which is corrupted in sum total and all sorts of manners. We need to correctly form it as much as possible, even though we are not capable and we don’t understand and we don’t feel as we should although we do what we can towards it, towards the correct desire to be connected between us and the Creator.

To bring the creation to a state like it was before the shattering and our efforts, our actions, all that we make the effort to perform this is what it takes out all of creation from the state that we are in some one point and so it enlarges all of creation to infinity and begin to be stand out, each person, each detail, and each correction as it is written 620 times more, which is infinite and that’s where we reveal what was and what there is in all of creation, and that we are in the center of all these things and we truly determine and reveal and attain that it was done for us. That’s it.

3. S. (12:20) What is that foreign thing that ruins the whole work?

R. Spirituality is wholeness, and if there is something that doesn’t join this wholeness then it corrupts the entire wholeness. On that it’s written” there is no little bit in spirituality” you can’t say, oh it’s a little bit, it can’t be, it’s entirely either this way or that.

4. S. (13:06) What is this action of Abraham walking and calling out the name of the Creator? What is that work in the ten?

R. Yes, it’s just like we need to go out in the world and draw them to connection that’s called that “we are going out and disseminating the importance of the work of the Creator”

Reading excerpt #13: (14:10) “There is indeed only one soul in the world…” Twice.

5. S. (16:48) What does it mean that there’s one soul in each and everyone? What will happen to our desires after we correct? Will we want the same things, see the same things or what?

R. Ultimately, meaning at the end of correction each one attains that he belongs to the soul of Adam HaRishon and he attains what is in Adam HaRishon in its entirety. Such for each and every one, they reach the same degree and not that one on the account of the other. That we all attain together only then each one that attains, rather each one will reach the degree of Adam HaRishon.

S. Each one has its own unique point of view?

R. Yes it doesn’t contradict one another, it doesn’t contradict one another.

S. How does it not contradict?

R. He explained it to you now that’s the condition of wholeness. You slowly gradually begin to feel that that’s how it needs to be and it cannot be otherwise, it will change soon actually. It’s not something that it’s at the end and slowly now gradually he will reveal maybe even in the next few lessons, that it could be that you attain the general soul and that it is you and in this you don’t bother anyone and everyone else who attains that same soul and also along with this we attain how much we come closer and we turn to be as one. All spiritual attainment is emotional attainment, emotional what can you do? You need to advance and make an effort to develop more and more of our sensation. Sensation is the desire to correct the desire.

S. A few lessons ago you said that we as if we’re already doing the work correctly but not yet together, could you maybe it has to do with this together being this one soul?

R. Yes, there is the soul. Yes, each one of us is a part of the soul, separate that cannot feel anything because all that we feel and spirituality is actually in connection in the stitch between the parts. As much as there is opposition, rejection, opposition rejection instead of hate, love, in both of these things, both negative and positive. They operate together as the coarseness of the vessel and the restriction upon it not to use the coarseness rather on connection and refinement. That’s how we need to see it that matters.

S. Is it correct to say that this thought of togetherness I try to keep holding on to it when we’re with the friends and without the friends and there’s a feeling that for this to happen this me has to disappear, is that true that the I has to disappear for this togetherness to be or the togetherness is a collection of “I”s, I hope I explained clearly?

R. You need to disappear in this and that you don’t want to control, to dominate in your group and to dominate over everyone but actually you need to hold everyone together in an equal manner and a whole connection in devotion of spirit and mutual Arvut, mutual responsibility such that you turn to be as one whole. You know that’s what you need to worry about and such for each and every one.

6. S. (21:55) What is he breathed into his nostrils? Why nostrils?

R. That he gave him internal force. Afterwards, we will learn what are the parts of the head, the Rosh and why it’s specifically written like this will learn about it.

7. S. (22:59) When I’m in the shattered phase how do I come to the feeling that this is advancing?

R. You need to talk with this along with the friends and to read what is written and to see that all our attainment comes from darkness to light, from the state of separation to adhesion, from this that we are confused, to this that we are understanding, feeling and all this we attained by connection between us. Nobody on their own can improve and smarten and feel spirituality rather in the extent that we connect then we make out of this puzzle a whole spiritual picture.

S. What must he constantly consider?

R. I think that there is no more important than to be together to feel that we are together all the time to feel that we are together and the Creator has to be revealed specifically in the connection between us.

8. S. (24:45) In the previous item it says that the congregation of Abraham in Babylon didn’t attain the correction but that it will come in the future the text says. How should we live in thinking that we won’t achieve the correction and it will only come in the future?

R. In Babylon we attained only separation and we spread from Babylon to all the continents up on the entire earth. That’s what we attained in Babylon. From then onward we are coming closer to connection between us, especially now in these times, in the beginning of this stage called the last generation. We attain how much we are separate, distant, opposite in mutual hate and so on. Why now? Because we’ve come closer to one another, both corporeal, technological, culturally wise, education wise, it doesn’t matter between all nations of the world, there’s a connection between us. That we can reveal toward an extension on one hand we’re all covering the earth and how much. This is the time called the ‘recognition of evil’. This recognition of evil that were not connected upon this that along with us that we are dependent on one another. Now this dependence will be revealed and how much we cannot serve correctly between nations and countries from one to another.

Soon we are going to see the coming time, we’re going to see how much we are truly in incorrect order in the connection between us. We in this ultimately will need to understand that there’s no choice. Rather only the nice good connection between us which is called Arvut will give all of us a privilege of existence. Otherwise we won’t even be privileged with the existence of the corporeal existence. There may be, God forbid more wars problems. Baal HaSulam says there is no compromise. Either the third world war and fourth world war including an atomic war,everything can happen, everything can pass over the earth here that’s what he writes. That it can not end the way it is now. Rather, even if we don’t reach a state that, even if we reach a state that, we all die and all this only a small collection of people will remain upon the earth as a small group.

They will nonetheless come to a connection between them. From within this they will include in them all the suffering all the human suffering for all the generations of all times. Then they will raise the suffering in prayer and in connection between them. In such they will pass it to a spiritual degree and then already all of humanity will continue to exist on the spiritual degree. That’s called that they will have a new land, a new desire, a new sky, meaning connection, adhesion, intention to bestow. In such they could more and more resemble themselves to the Creator. That’s what ultimately needs to happen. Just for this there are a few more opportunities, different variations. It could be that it won’t be exactly like this, nicer, easier accepted by us. That depends on how much we will understand and feel the urgency of correction and advance along with him.

S. We need to believe that we will achieve with our ten, in this time. in our life the final correction?

R. No, I don’t promise you that in this time, in this life in our life but it’s on the way. It could be a few more generations. We’ve entered the era called the last generation but how many of our generations that human beings live through it could be that it takes another one hundred, two hundred years. I don’t think so if you ask and it depends on our effort. We could end everything within the next few years, the upcoming years.

9. S. (31:16) Why didn’t the Creator shattered the parts of Adam HaRishon and not a different one, what special about it?

R. What other Partzuf?

S. This is what I’m asking.

R. That’s what I’m asking, you have some other Partzuf?

S. I don’t understand the central feature, how central this Partzuf is in the whole system why?

R. It happened so what can I say?. The will to receive, that the Creator created them he formed them in the form of Adam meaning that they can resemble Him and this Adam as it is written would see from one end of the world to the other would understand and recognize with all the parts of creation. He was in His form like needs to be after all the corrections afterwards whole. The Creator created him whole but what was lacking in this Adam?

The sensation of self, the self-awareness, it’s not that he does it, it’s not that he feels that he exists. He was as an angel, performing all the wisdom demanded of Him without any internal struggle, internal decisions, doubts. He wasn’t Adam, He didn’t feel it, He didn’t live, He didn’t have a soul. The opposite part from the Creator which was also identifying with the Creator. Thus, this demanded a unique correction which is the shattering, it’s not exactly shuttering, its building of the lack. What is opposite from the Creator. What is he different from the Creator? What does he need to attain to be like his father, like the Creator.

Thus,there is no choice. Rather He received His will to receive in an opposite manner he began to see himself as broken and all his desires intentions, thoughts actions. He cannot direct himself to be similar to the Creator. Thus in order to correct the state, to recognize it to advance to the form of the Creator. In this form that broke it began to recognize itself, what’s with her. What’s happening? That already is what the Torah is telling us about. There is nothing in this that is unique, special or difficult. Rather, depict this state to yourselves that you can not do otherwise. Rather simply in special actions, not too complex, gradual ones, one by one by one in such a manner we advance to revelation of the difference between Adam and the Creator and how much we can along with this come closer to that same form. It’s all speaking about the desire.

S. Is there anything besides this Partzuf in the system or is that the system?

R. No, there’s nothing else besides this only the upper force and that same desire that the Creator created called Adam which is in the future meant to resemble the Creator and thus He is called Adam similar to the Creator.

10. S. (36:05) When we were just speaking and describing about Adam in the upper force,I truly I felt it personal, I felt this is our work and I felt that we’re pushing a wall is it correct to make this important because under the importance there’s no other choice because it seems like you’re pushing a wall?

R. We learned to go along with our study and make an effort not to run off to all sorts of philosophies and then everything will be okay.

11. S. (37:01) Until now humanity lived in some principle that I appreciate only would I lose, so is there a chance for hastening?

R. Chance for hastening is to the extent that you mingle with the friends and go along with them until then it’s not considered anything.

12. S. (37:33) The text describes 600,000 souls and sparks. What is the connection between the two of these?

R. The souls and sparks it’s not important, it’s spiritual elements of the desire that’s an order to bestow. We will learn that further down the road.

13. S. (38:15) He writes that the same soul is in the nation of Israel and each and every one. How does that come to expression,in the difference in that same group, in that same group called Israel compared to the whole world?

R. It’s internality and externality. The same things were clarifying now. Everyone will have to clarify except for them. It will be easier and faster because we are the inner part of the core of the correction. They are the outer part of the correction but they too have to somewhat use the method of correction. There are people who envision the car, there are people who designed the car, there are people who use the car, everyone according to their development and the root of their soul.

S. There’s someone who belongs to the nation of Israel in a natural manner and someone who as you know, belongs to it internally according to his desire. Why is it like this? What is the purpose?

R. Because the desire the Creator created and called it Adam. That desire includes in itself all kinds of desires and they too must attain adhesion. Then by the shattering there’s a mixture between us and throughout this mixture we begin to get corrected so everyone has his own time and degree of how he reaches these corrections.

14. S. (40:15) What does it mean that the desire refines?

R. Becoming pure meaning more and more parts of its desire become in order to bestow.

S. Which is the Creator refines our desire from within our incorporation in the ten?

R. Yes, for all kinds of reasons.

S. Out of this we prefer bestowal and love?

R. Yes.

15. S. (40:59) What’s the intention he writes at the end of the excerpt and according to the extent that they refine? and to that same extent the general soul illuminates on him. What does it mean the general soul illuminates on him?

R. The upper light, the Creator enters him and is felt in him,more and more to the extent that he refines himself from in order to receive and approaches in, in order to bestow.

16. S. (41:55) What is the sin that leads to the shattering?

R. The sin doesn’t depend on anyone, it’s the Creator’s plan to bring the desire He created to the opposite state in order to receive. He tries to ascend from that and discovers that he can’t do anything not in mind and not in heart he discovers the shattering and he asks for each and every step that the Creator will raise him and bring him closer to himself and that’s essentially the plan.

17. S. (42:35) Could there be a shattering if we don’t have the opportunity to correct?

R. Yes, sure that were shown the shattering and the shattering is shown to the whole world to all people, how much they whether they understand the reason or not. Clearly almost everyone doesn’t understand the reason but they do have to feel the shattering to the extent that they are in contrast in remoteness, in such a bad state. Our whole life is really just opposite states towards spirituality until we begin to feel that we can’t exist this way. It’s gradually increasing. Thib impression forms and joins a greater recognition of evil. Then humanity begins to start crying for help, we can’t continue this way. Where is the justice and the upper force is iit anywhere and so on and so because we are just built from the desire to enjoy the desire to receive and we feel so bad then we cry and from the suffering we begin to reveal who is the cause of our suffering and that’s the Creator or the will to receive He created and that brings us closer to the point of truth.

18. S. (44:47) What does it mean to bless the Creator? How do we do this ?

R. One man can bless the Creator and the group can bless the Creator if there is a reason to do it.

19. S. (52:04) Did Abraham have a ten?

R. Abraham discovered the necessary correction for attaining the correction of creation and therefore what he had was the love of the created beings. That’s what he understood that needs to happen but the dividing into tens and all of that and so on that didn’t happen until the exodus from Egypt, until the in law of Moses came and suggested for them, offered for them to do it that way.

20. S. (45:52) What does it mean that Abraham walked, of course it’s clear that everybody walks but what does it mean in this excerpt?

R. Meaning he worked on dissemination. He would disseminate in Babylon the method of correction, the method of connection. Love thy friend as thyself comes to us from Abraham. That’s the first spiritual law. The tens and all those things are means to achieve love thy friend as thyself and so when we come to that we immediately attain within that love thy Lord.

21. S. (46:46) What is the use or influence of the previous generations on our work?

R. From the previous generations we can take the same method but use it in our generation because each and every generation has its demand for it. The method doesn’t change: coming closer between people until we build such a system where one Upper force is revealed and for that our connection also needs to be as one and in the relation between us we have to build such forms of connection that become the right kind of Kli, the right kind of desire to reveal the single one light.

Reading excerpt 14: (47:59) “Two discernments were made…” Three times.

22. R. (51:25) Even though it’s the whole of Israel meaning all the souls that yearn for the Creator but he for now only feels his own.

Continues Reading (51:36): “In the second discernment…”

23. R. (52:00) Meaning there is something that he attains which is the whole or the collective but still in the sense of his own yearning, his own self progress in terms of his rejoining, returning to the collective.

Continues Reading (52:23): “And the sign for…”

24. R. (53:00) Meaning that ultimately one comes to a state where he discovers all of the soul of Adam HaRishon in himself and that is his complete correction.

25. S. (53:17) It says here that a person feels the general soul to the extent that he refines himself, what does that mean?

R. Probably that he doesn’t want to use his ego, the will to receive and wants only to connect in order to bestow with others, to the friends, the Creator, the group. How otherwise and how else can he discover the Creator? Only in the vessel that he collects, that he assembles from the friends. The Creator set up the group and told him take it and connect with that, achieve Arvut and in it you will discover me. We will meet there, so we try doing that.

S. In this state, in this place do we feel the suffering of the world that we need to raise to the Creator?

R. To the extent that we connect we begin discovering the troubles, problems, challenges, bigger, lower, smaller. When we connect we discover in this vessel that we have assembled, it is a vessel of our connection, we already feel differently everything that needs to happen. We explain all those things differently. Not through an egoistic individual prism as before but already in a different way, tied to our connection, through our connection so we first have to achieve corrections and then through these corrections we will see how we discover a new reality and it will be literally a new reality.

26. S. (56:00) My beastly sensation is the indication for the attainment of correction?

R. What else do you have other than your inner emotion? Where do you feel everything?

S. That is correct, I’m just truly asking.

R. What else could it be if you don’t have more?

27. S. (56:33) What is the connection between the generality of Israel and the soul of Adam HaRishon?

R. The whole of Israel meaning it includes all of the desires that come from the shattering of Adam and that includes all of the people that will ever be in the world, all the souls that all the souls and how they can incorporate with each other, come together, they achieve connection and correction of the shattering in a way that they can reveal the Creator to some extent according to their level of correction.

S. So just like there is a private soul that incorporates in the generality of Israel there is also the soul of Israel that incorporates, I don’t know, the generality of the world?

R. I don’t understand what you’re saying, you’re a little bit confused. There are people who long for connection. They are the central part, the centerpiece of the soul of the world. They long for connection for attainment of the Creator that’s the main thing for them. These people are mostly members of the Bnei Baruch and possibly there’s more around us and we need to advertise ourselves better and better so that way we can welcome them as well and that will make our correction easier, the amount here is very important and that’s it. So they are called Israel in that they long for the Creator, Yashar El, straight to the Creator. Other than that it’s just people I don’t mind what they are dealing with.

S. So the question is: if like he writes here that the private soul of Israel let’s say somebody from Bnei Baruch, they refine themselves and then the soul of Adam HaRishon illuminates on them? That’s the process that occurs here?

R. If a person yearns for attaining the creator it means that the same soul even before it went through a correction, shines on him so he, as if, longs to go back home.

S. That is at the end of correction?

R. No he just longs for that state but the path is still long.

S. He refines himself and reaches a state that…?

R. If he completely purifies himself and connects to all the other souls that means that he’s in the final correction.

S. So my question is more about this state but just a more general state, let’s say all of Bnei Baruch refine themselves.

R. Bnei Baruch, if they connect to each other to be as one man in one heart by that they attain a portion of the collective soul which relates to their connected desires and they attain the Creator on their degree. If we say they’ve done everything they possibly could in their connection and then connecting to all the other souls to bestow to everyone that would mean they’ve achieved their final correction, their personal final correction because all the rest are still not corrected.

S. Okay so to the same extent that one private individual from Bnei Baruch it’s common in all of Bnei Baruch so what is the common of all of Bnei Baruch, what can you compare against BB?

R. We have nothing to compare towards all of the people, the broken desires that are destined to be corrected with respect to Adam with respect to the soul of Adam HaRishon.

S. We don’t have the same work that we do between us?

R. Mister you are still so far from that. You should not get confused. You have a ten in front of you, please do your work there and then it will certainly be for the better and all the rest is philosophies that you’re not really feeling closely that are not closer to your sensations. I’m not just telling you I’m telling everyone: we should make an effort to be connected in the ten each and everyone and that’s it. That is what we, for now, need to focus on doing.

27. S. (01:02:38) In contrasting circumstances how do we set an example to a advance friends?

R. Clarify the contradictions but in a practical and fast manner and then move on.

Reading excerpt 15 (01:03:12) “The vitality, sustenance…” twice

28. R. (01:04:05) There’s nothing more. You see the main vitality, sustenance and correction of all creation is that the created beings come together in unity and love.

Reading excerpt 16 (01:04:28) “All our work…” twice

29. S. (01:05:50) What is this action to incorporate?

R. Incorporating, how should I say? That each one from this one bundle is incorporated or integrated with someone from another bundle. So let’s say you have 1,000 units in one bundle and you have 1,000 or a million in another bundle and everyone is integrated in everyone else, this is what we call incorporation.

S. Why 1000 on one side and 1000 on the other side?

R. No it doesn’t have to be 1,000 and then 1,000 could be 10. What is important is the incorporation that everyone is included in each one.

S. So before that they have to incorporate between themselves the 1,000 and the 10?

R. Normally yes but we will scrutinize these things later on but the forms of incorporation are not that simple. It depends on each and every degree on Hassadim and Hochma and each Sefira that is in control of that level.

Reading 16 again (01:07:44) “All our work…” twice

Reading 17 (01:08:54) “You lack nothing…” twice

31. S. (01:11:30) In excerpt 16 he says that we want to go and scrutinize, connect all those parts of the soul. What is it to scrutinize it?

R. How much we can make more connections to be tighter together as a single body.

S. How do we mix with this?

R. By trying to get closer in our views or contrasting views, it doesn’t matter what is important is the intention, the desires, to feel that we are all as one man with one heart.

S. I’m asking because you know what we say: What do we need to do and you say connection. We are talking about a topic that is talking about the destruction, the ruin as an opportunity for correction. I’m trying to understand.

R. You have to learn the ruin as preparation for the correction. All in all you cannot learn something without having its opposite, you cannot. That is always the case. He explains it to us and if we are talking about this shattering then what for? Who invited the shattering and why do we need to do that? We cannot understand anything if not through its opposite. This is how all of reality is built because to begin with it is built from creation and the Creator and we cannot discover the Creator directly so the created being has to be arranged completely opposite of the Creator and then from one thing and it’s opposite we can attain the Creator.

S. So we also need to reach a sensation right? Not just understanding.

R. Mostly sensation. From the sensation we will understand, we cannot come to an understanding directly. What will we relate to? What will we relate our understanding to? First you feel and then you understand.

S. So this sensation, where does it come from? I look at the world. I feel the shattering there, in my family and in my health I feel it much less in the ten.

R. Because you are approaching it with your mind, try to reach the emotion and then it will be different. Bit by bit. I understand you but this is how we and develop our vessels it takes a long time.

32. S. (01:14:46) It is written here that wherever you will look the place will be blessed. What does it mean looking? Who is looking?

R. That in order to correct the bad things we need to see them in front of us as preventing us from reaching wholeness, that they are against us, that they are disturbances. So if we relate to them that way then we can correct them because the correction is not up to us. What is up to us is only to want the correction, to rise above the world, so to speak.

33. S. (01:15:46) What does it mean to fall into the Klipot?

R. Into intentions and thoughts that are in order to receive, that are in order to enjoy them by ourselves and not that I pass them to the friends and the Creator so they will enjoy them.

34. S. (01:16:13) How do we make such a correction that is truly as is written here that the Divinity will dwell on the connection between us?

R. We have to connect to such an extent between us and the connection between us in total, even to the smallest extent, there will be something common that dwells between all of us and then the Creator will be revealed. Try to imagine the connection between people, between the friends as they wish to build in their thoughts and their desires such a common desire and common thought in which the Creator can be revealed because the Creator is the common quality relative to everyone. If we all connect as if we are making one out of ourselves then the Creator can appear.

35. S. (01:17:42) How’s it possible that two parts of Adam HaRishon will connect which are very different in their development?

R. You cannot connect them into one but only as if you connect them into my one; meaning, both of them work in order to be connected and bond with the Creator. If for example you take an engine there are all kinds of parts that are moving in different directions sometimes opposite to one another but they are all working towards one common goal. Same in the group: ten Sefirot each one completely different from each other. From here comes all the variety in creation from these ten Sefirot but they are all connected in order to bring from themselves a vessel for the Creator so that he could be revealed and give Him contentment. If these qualities are different, are opposite but they all want to connect with the Creator you have a Partzuf, you have a soul and the Creator is revealed in them.

S. Why do we feel such difficulty to connect?

R. Don’t look for similar people that want to connect. On the country try to connect with everyone regardless of whether there’s something similar to you. Not like the way we look for friends in this world. No, you have to look for those who have the same goal as you otherwise they could be totally different completely not like you but they have the same goal. So each one from his own place but towards the same goal then we connect. That is the matter of the connection in the group. That is why we remain different on every level even though we approach the Creator we become even more different from one another more opposing we want to kill one another but together with that we have a Creator who is holding us to be together for His sake. That is how we arrive with a huge will to receive and we arrive at the state of adhesion with the Creator. It is a thing and its opposite, a contradiction.

36. S. (01:21:08) During our correction do we generate such shapes of connection which we feel we have wonderful connections that we built and this situation is smooth without fluctuations so what happens in such states, in the inner state inside does it stay?

R. You will certainly, even if you see now that you are closely related, you are similar, you are willing to connect but soon you will begin to discover how different you are from one another. How much you are in opposition to one another. You cannot stand one another, you hate one another and so on and so forth. That is the growing will to receive and above that you will nevertheless have to build such a connection between you that is for the sake of the Creator because he is obligating us. There is no other choice but to do that. That in the connection between us, above all those great disturbances we will attain Him and that is the structure of the face where there is great coarseness and above it is the restriction, screen, reflected light and attaining of the upper light of the Creator, that is how the soul is built.

37. S. (01:22:52) How can you ascribe what the last line says that everything you will cast your eye on will be blessed?

R. To the extent that we identify the disturbances, each one’s will to receive and how much we are in opposition and we have nothing to do with it, nevertheless we go above it. We are willing to connect in spite of the disturbances that he brings me. I understand that he is disturbing me and he is there and I have no way of correcting it. Above it I try to connect with the friends and that is what everyone does. So just like the students of Rabbi Shimon even though they wanted to kill each other, a great deal of hatred, they come to the lesson they connect above the hate, they hold themselves in such a way above their egoistic desire they discover the connection because the Creator shines to them and then in the slight they begin to attain their Creator and the entire spiritual structure of the soul but down below hate and hell remain and that is how we build it. More and more we build the hate and above it love.

This is the meaning of love covers all transgressions or crimes and that is how it has to be at home and everywhere in human society. We have to learn about it and we have to teach everyone above that this is how we need to exist. You cannot be like for a baby everything’s pink all around him and nothing else. Rather each and everyone has their own personal hell and personal heaven. They have their own hate and love and the person has to get accustomed to living with these two parts together, together one on top of the other. Until in the end of correction with the help of the greatest light we will reach a state where all the evil will return to good.

38. S. (01:25:52) In Excerpt 16 it is written that all our work is in prayers and practical Mitzvot. What does that mean?

R. Where we want to connect above our ego this is the meaning of performing a Mitzvah, commandment, because that is a command to be connected as one man in one heart. In order to do it, we see that we can’t do it so we ask for the strength from the Creator and this is called the prayer. So in total we have the commandant and the prayer. The commandment to connect, to love your friend as yourself and where do you get the strength to do it? The power to do it? The prayer from the Creator.

39. S. (01:26:55) Are some commandments more important or some are less?

R. No, all of them are about love your friend as yourself, all of our actions, all the commandments they converge on connection. We have to raise Adam HaRishon from the shattering. That is the essence of all the commandments. The Creator shattered it so from this shattering we will reestablish this puzzle, this structure and we will reach the essence of the connection which is the Creator.

40. S. (01:27:43) In excerpt 18 it is written that we should connect all the drooping organs, what is that action?

R. All the people in the world are parts of my soul and that is relative to each and every one here.

41. S. (01:28:04) Does what we do affect the general soul?

R. Of course what we do is the correction of the general soul. We’re the greatest, we are the most advanced group compared to all of mankind who are dealing with the correction of the soul. We are a big group and we wish to be even bigger as much as possible and together with that we understand more and more. We become more connected into one action, one goal.

42. S. (01:28:52) What does it mean to return to the general soul?

R. It means to re-establish the soul of Adam HaRishon, that structure where we are all connected in love your friend as yourself and connect it with the Creator in love the Lord your God. When we perform these two actions we correct everything.

43. S. (01:29:24) Is the state of the return to the collective, does that happen in the ten or between tens?

R. First of all in each and every ten and later on it will be between all the tens.

44. S. (01:29:46) How will our world look after after the complete collection what is that the world?

R. Our world will not look like anything, it will rise to the degree of Atzilut and we will all feel existing in one desire, one thought, one light, one Creator in infinite internal form. We cannot imagine it right now but this is what has to be revealed, it will certainly be revealed sooner or later. It depends on our work and we want to be the first in it and the leaders into it.

45. S. (01:30:34) Previously you answered a friend that Adam HaRishon was the opposite of the Creator and at the same time he identified himself with the Creator, what does that mean?

R. We will learn about Adam HaRishon later, for now we cannot even understand this structure. It is the structure of the will to receive that includes all the individual desires to receive and is in a state where everyone is in order to bestow by that it annuls to the upper force, in that.

46. S. (01:31:20) What is required of us, Bnei Baruch, to end the misery of humanity and bring correction in the coming years?

R. We need to connect as much as possible and to set an example of humanity. This is our goal, our destiny, our role in the near future. This is the first stage. Later we will continue in the degrees of spiritual ascent. There’s a lot of stuff ahead of us, all the way to infinity.

47. S. (01:32:05) We live in such a special time, we have a great opportunity to realize correction now, how to find the blocked heart which is being more and more blocked and doesn’t realize everything now.

R. We need to accept it as much as we rise above a blocked heart will just grow, because it grows that we will rise above it. Therefore we have to understand this correction. Where there cannot be any advancement, rather the advancement is through the correction. There cannot be any correction unless a greater corruption is revealed and that is our work.

48. S. (01:33:01) Does connection and impurity mean the same thing?

R. Connection and refinement, purity, refinement is a connection correction of the vessel where it moves from the state of coarseness to a state of refinement, to the extent it is refined it reaches connection with the other vessels.

49. S. (01:33:29) You said previously in answer to a friend that we need to scrutinize the contradiction between the friends in a practical and fast way. What is the advice if friends do not want to scrutinize that?

R. We need to think and we need to relate to it patiently. We’re a thousand years in correction so we can wait a few more weeks. The important thing is to be in our lessons.
