Reading Item #2: (00:20) “There is yet another great and very beneficial discernment …”
S. 1. (01:32) Why was the record left there, what was the benefit here?
R. The light created the Kli and was in the Kli and connected in the Kli with the Kli itself where from the Kli and from the light there was something mutual, and that mutual part remains and exists between them and that connection remains for all eternity, and that’s how it is and that is called a record, a Reshimot from them being together.
S. This record do I work with it?
R. Certainly we work with the Reshimot with the records. These Reshimot determine everything for us. The lights expand from Ein Sof through Adam Kadmon, Atzilut, Beria, Yetzira, Assiya, until this world, there are all kinds of processes of the creation of man, the shattering of the vessels, all kinds of preparations, and then they rise from below upwards and these Reshimot help these Kelim him to rise each time degree after degree, state to state, thanks to these Reshimot that appear from above downward there’s a possibility from the Kli to rise from below upward. We will read that; we will learn that.
Reading item #2: (03:26) “The record is like a seal …”
Reading item #3: (04:21) “The reason is that the upper lights are to the lower lights as…”
Reading item #3: (05:24) “This applies to both the light and the vessel to the general and to the particular …”
2. R. Meaning the record, Reshimot, contains everything, it includes everything and holds everything.

3. S. (09:54) TES describes how all these processes of the contact the fulfillment and the emptying of light how they all take place of this whole spiritual structures like a human body we have all the organs and how they work and we basically only feel the body when we are sick is it the same with a spiritual structure we only feel it when we are feeling through our corrupt will to receive?
R. Yes, nice. Even through the corrupted desire to receive, if we study we draw the Upper light somewhat from above and it heals us and prepares us for the state where we can feel the phenomenon that we read about inside us. Yes. There’s nothing more to say.
4. S. (11:11) Can we during the morning listen go through and to feel all these different states during the morning lesson?
R. Yes, while you read if you’re in the degrees where you can feel the phenomena of the Ohr Yashar, direct light, reflected light, Zivug Dhakka, coupling while striking, Histaklut, Histaklut, expansion, departure, all these actions that we read about, so you would feel them for sure and even without reading you can feel them because you’re already in the correction of the Kli accordingly if you are.
5. S. (12:17) Baal HaSulam writes here that the records are a state where the Upper leaves a small Illumination in the lower one, when the lower one awakens and wants to rise back to the Upper one to connect to him to build a reflected light how does the record work then? He also goes into the software of the Reshimot, of the record?
R. There is nothing new here. The Upper one illuminates to the lower one and the lower one awakens; everything is done by the awakening of the lower one from the Upper one. The lower one cannot just awaken, where do you see such a thing in reality? But only when we awaken the Upper one the Upper one awakens us, or that the Upper one without us awakening it according to the records that it has, it awakens us that is called the awakening from above or the awakening from below according to who does it awaken.
S. For instance now I’m sitting in a lesson. I have some disconnection, I don’t feel a connection to my friends and suddenly I have a very strong yearning to connect to the friends with love with the prayer, what happened here, a record has appeared?
R. You didn’t have that record but the friends that you’re connected with in any case in some kind of way, they are in that connection, and they awaken you so that you will be, you will also belong to that same connection, yes, that’s how it works.
6. S. (14:25) Speaking from Germany and asking about the German Congress, and there’s a strong feeling of connection between the friends. There are 120 friends coming and there are many new friends about 30, 31 new friends. Tonight we will have the Shevat Achim on the Friday, and this is an opportunity to include the whole world Kli with our special feeling and we want to share this, we have a strong feeling here of a connection of the heart between us we would like to share this. Do you some advice for us, how to do this, how we could share this to the whole world Kli, this feeling that we have in the Congress during the Shevat Haverim?
R. Well we have such a tool that we could connect everyone to it and distribute it from there to everyone so there’s no problem with that, let’s do that, are you doing that this evening? Yes?
S. It would be really great if everything could be shown to the whole world and that everything that we also do, the way how to express this, do you have some suggestions on how to express this during the Shevat Haverim?
R. The advice is simple the deficiency in my heart to feel everyone and that my empty heart will be a place that everyone can enter and as such I want to feel it, that my empty heart wants to be filled with all the friends around the whole world, and if that will happen I will be the most successful, prosperous, happy person from that and then from my heart I can give that to everyone, and then we will all connect mutually each one to one another, so we’ll do that today.
7. S. (18:07) We feel that there’s something very, very important is going on in the center of Germany, like the feeling of a newborn, it’s very very special, and our question is also a bit related to …
R. We truly are in stages very special advancement and here we need to pay attention that from this advancement that we have now gone through a few steps with Tisha B’Av and Tu B’Av, and now we’re speaking about other connections more advanced ones we need to pay attention to our friends, we see that they feel themselves not so much in the same act with us, we need to think about those friends, and that very much concerns me. What’s going on there with all kinds of groups who once were very active and now they fall. It’s okay that they fall, I’m not so I don’t get too impressed by that, but if it’s happening for a long time so that awakens concerning me, so it’s tough to understand those things. You need to be concerned more and more about our groups that they will be close to our groups and also toward the women, that they too will be connected beside us correctly and well.
S. There’s a feeling that this is a very, very big, a big event and what their friends were just asking from the Congress side about how to include the world Kli on the one hand and how this can be included in the world Kli so this afternoon or this evening we have this huge opportunity to present this whole family together so could you give us some words like a guideline on how we can make this inclusion in the right step forward?
R. Deficiency in opening the hearts and reaching one desire, like I asked Rabash once, what else do we need to do when we really want it? He said one thing, attack, attack. Attack that’s what we need and by doing that you will succeed over your inclinations, your laziness, and then you will progress.,
S. First of all about the group’s you said that our fallen how can we feel them, strengthen them?
R. Give an example, embrace them, do things together with them, all the actions and that’s how it works. That’s what we learned, there’s nothing much else here to do.
S. Seemingly everything’s open, we have lessons, meals, Yeshivat Haverim, is there an example of what is missing for it to go into the heart?
R. It lacks entering the heart, exactly what you said. Meaning the attack needs to be internal inside the heart in order to open it, in order to open the heart and that happens but it happens slowly, slowly one bit at a time because it hurts to open the heart the ego doesn’t let it happen and as much as you’ll try and manipulate it, it’ll take a long time, one bit at a time, until it sees that there is no choice, that it has to do that otherwise it’ll miss out on life.
