The Ruin as an Opportunity for Correction
Part 2:
The Ruin as an Opportunity for Correction – Selected Excerpts from the Sources. (The Correction of the Breaking, #26)
Reading #26 (00:17) “It is impossible to receive anything without equivalence..” twice
1. S. (03:12) What changes my current vessel becomes a vessel of bestow or I add extra vessels to it that those are the vessels of bestow?
R. It does not matter. But certainly you discovered that you have the vessel of the bestowal.
S. That happens through the connection in the ten?
R. Yes.
S. And there I discover a new style of connection with the Creator and the friends together?
R. Yes.
2. S. (04:01) When a person is in a recognition of the evil and has to go from that state to prayer for the collective so he reveals his evil his will to receive that is separated from the Creator and now he needs to make this transition outside of himself to pray for the others to the to adhere to the quality of bestowal?
R. Continue.
S. I can’t that’s a thing, how? how to continue how for me revealing my evilish shattering the thoughts on myself?
R. Yes. I can’t continue from what you said, you only half a thing..
S. That is what I said, half a thing, exactly?
R. Repeat again what you said.
S. A person has a recognition of evil?
R. Yes, if he has a recognition of you, so what else does he have? What else does he need to do, how to get rid of the evil?
S. He has to pray to get rid of the evil but that exactly the state where he can’t come out, he discovers that he’s in the radish, in the… So how do you get out of this?
R. How to come out of it you pray and try to advance until the Creator will finally put your head out of it.
S. But that is exactly recognition of the evil that you cannot take your head out?
R. In that state nothing to do only friends and the prayer, nothing more to do.
3. S. (06:25) I’ll continue the question he writes that if you look for Mercy for yourself when the evil is revealed and the evil is in you and you pray for yourself for mercy. So you do the opposite way more and more vessels of reception happen so how on that case to pray for the friends, and what to pray for them? What to pray for the collective?
R. Okay, let’s continue. I have nothing to answer, what he said, it is not correct.
4. S. (07:23) Maybe the question isn’t right but I will tell you what the reason is. It is an order .. drip inside more and open ourselves up, what is a Ten, please?
R. I did not hear anything.
S. What is a ten for us for each and everyone?
R. You want to take us back to studying the ten?
S. Specifically in these days it feel not only me it’s like we are incorporating in the world Kli and between people between the friends and the intensity is different it’s a lot stronger. So it’s like we should get into more delicate tunings that so maybe what is the ten in these days?
R. Until you further scrutinize the question it’s nothing to ask. Where are we up to?
Reading Item #27 (08:49) “Malchut, Hiam Vittal says…”
5. S. (09:52) How do we encompass all prayers in one prayer?
R. I guess they can, these are the the causes and consequences that through our working, the acting forces between cause and consequence enable us to connect in a single prayer.
S. I will say what I’m trying to ask about it. We see we have a lot of states. I’m talking about our group, a lot of friends, a lot of states, was in one sick, one is in jail and there is prayer that all the ten rise. How do we include them all as one prayer?
R. I don’t know among us, we don’t have such a connection.
S. What does it mean that we have to include all our prayers?
R. To include it yes all in all but individually I don’t know.
S. What effort can we make in order to implement it?
R. As much as we can include together and bring this vessels to correction we ask to include them.
Reading #27 Again (11:38)
6. S. (12:44) What is before the morning prayer? does that mean that before I need the friends of I have to be in love your friend as yourself?
R. Let’s say you’re walking from your house to the lesson and you think about it.
S. Before I meet the friends?
R. Before, of course.
S. Can I stabilize it on my own such a thing?
R. You don’t know them from today, you’ve known them a few years already.
S. I’ll process it.
R. It’s so, it’s so weird.
7. S. (13:42) A friend is asking, does he do the work of aiming himself to love your friend as yourself with himself before he physically needs the friends? Is it a private work? Is it preparation for connection?
R. Yes, it is an individual work has preparation to connection with the friends why is he going there what he aims to do there what connection he aims to attain, that he has that he is concerned that his day won’t just pass us yesterday that he didn’t feel and wasn’t demanding of what he wants from this day, what is important from this day. It is very good work. Rabash used to go for a walk for at least an hour before the lesson from his house until Rabbi Akiva road and then back again and he was thinking about this constantly.
8. S. (15:32) It says the purpose of creation is to come out of imprisonment that the Creator is good that does good. Why is it so hard for us to pray for the friends? I’m just hearing Non-Stop about friends who don’t feel the Creator, who feel the recognition of evil. Why aren’t we jumping and praying for every person that is asking a question here?
R. Ask them about that too.
S. Ask who?
R. The friends.
S. I am asking you so everyone hears, so why isn’t it happening?
R. What do you want me to answer instead of them? What do you want to hear?
S. I don’t know, that the Creator will help us?
R. The Creator is willing to help to the extent that you ask him correctly. That is his work to give you an answer.
S. Open the lesson with the deficiency of recognition of evil. That’s how I heard our great friend they don’t even know how to come out of it but the answer is simple, we can now reach the final correction but we are not doing it?
R. That is correct that in each and every moment we potentially could reach the end of corrections. But we don’t do it because of our negligence. That’s why we come back again and again over the same conditions that separate between us and Gmar Tukun the end of the corrections, which is the true prayer and only prayer that the Creator won’t be able to refuse but will be happy to join us and will be happy to perform the action.
9. S. (18:02) The importance and the ARI are directing us to incorporation. What is that same action of incorporation in the Ten which causes contentment to the Creator?
R. Why does the incorporation of the ten brings contentment to the Creator?
S. Yes.
R. Because by that, we become one vessel that is ready to receive bestowal from the Creator and by his bestowing upon us, we can connect and receive the upper light in order to bestow. What is so hard to think here?
10. S. (19:25) What does it mean to be an organ of the friend?
R. That I’m willing to participate in anyway in his private correction.
11. S. (19:43) How are the technical actions we do in the ten listening to the lesson, workshop questions, reading the article how do they bring full heartly connection to bring the revelation to the creator?
R. If it’s technical actions they really don’t help we have to turn those technical actions into spiritual actions.
12. S. (20:08) How does one that pray for the friends? How does that equalize that person with the Creator? How does that work?
R. He asked the Creator to take care of them and correct them and he is willing to be as an aide as an individual in all those corrections.
13. S. (20:33) How to start the work with a pure heart?
R. Try and ask the Creator to take you and use it to give the friends everything they need in order to reach the complete vessel.
14. S. (20:58) How to make technical actions to spiritual actions?
R. Specifically with the intention I just mentioned.
Reading Item #30 (21:48) “All those discernments, beginning with Malchut…”
15. S. (23:17) All the materials we’re learning now are called ruin as an opportunity, in Israel the ruin is felt.
R. But we don’t feel that it’s an opportunity.
S. Exactly, that is the question. Where’s the opportunity? It’s not felt.
R. What should the opportunity be?
S. This is all a process that the dweller needs to be revealed as the divinity, but I don’t see how that clothes in reality?
R. Why? You see that society has reached the ruin and everyone understands it and everyone agrees to that. They don’t agree with the state itself, but they agree that it is happening. And that we have nothing more to expect; we have to stand up and heal the state.
S. I don’t see anyone coming and saying that we need to cure the state.
R. Why?
S. I don’t see anyone coming to cure it, I just see everyone frustrated to a level that they are turning into animals.
R. They are frustrated because they don’t know that it’s their turn right now to invite the correction. I mentioned many times how I ran to the operation room and I lay down on the bed and I demanded they start there, for 2 weeks they told me yes it’s going to happen, it’s going to happen, every day that went by they said tomorrow. Until I, with my own forces came to the surgery room and I laid down on the bed. They knew me already, and I told them to start doing it, I have no more forces to wait. Then they said okay we will start the preparations. You know preparation for surgery that’s also, so then they started the preparations and gave me those few shots and they operated on me. Then I felt so different. If a man understands that he has to go through the stage of correction, that operation, and he has no other choice, he demands it. So that is the difference already.
S. Yes, but you are a Kabbalist. I don’t see anyone outside running to get themselves operated on, or even knowing that there is an operation.
R. No, that’s not right, it’s not true. It’s not because I’m a Kabbalist, it is the necessity to want to live.
S. I don’t see the desire to live is leading humanity or even anyone towards correction, if there is a feeling that you need to have a ton of ruin for the gram of opportunity. 10 million dying for someone just to have a thought, why is it like that?
R. Because for now, it’s the form of correction. Ok, that’s it, you will have to remain without an answer. We have to keep going.
16. S. (27:42) There isn’t a necessity for correction. There’s a feeling I prefer to have one eye removed so the other will have two eyes removed. There isn’t a feeling for a desire for life. What is felt, it’s like just to enable the hatred to take place, that’s the livelihood, that’s the feeling that is burning in them, that’s what’s burning in the people, whereas the opportunity for correction they want to realize hatred to others?
R. Because they didn’t educate them to understand that this is the end of the road and that nothing positive can come out of this.
S. Alright, that’s the desire that’s burning within the generation, So what?
R. If I see supposed enemies of mine, I will see them fallen, so I will be happy and I’ll think that I’ve won.
S. It’s like primary value more important than my own life is defeating the enemy, it’s clear that it’s part of the shattering. How to correct this part of the shattering?
R. Only by explaining more, and more, and more. Nothing else to do, not in forces, but by studying, gradually. You can’t educate a whole generation, but what can you do? Give them a shot that right away they will get smarter. Do you have a solution? Please.
S. But also saying that there is a lack of suffering like Rabash said, it is unclear that will bring to correction the fact that there is suffering lacking?
R. Suffering without explanation can even bring them backward, and they will feel that we have to suffer more for the solution.
S. It’s not just in Israel you see this also in other places in the world.
R. Of course, because we learn from the nations of the world in such a period of time.
S. So what does the wisdom of Kabbalah explain also in terms of dissemination? What do we need to explain to these people?
R. We reach a state where finally from history we have to explain to the nation of Israel what their role is and what they need to do in order to be rewarded in seeing its duty in the world.
S. Maybe because we’re lacking another goal in life, maybe because the lack of that we’re being fulfilled with their hatred, so this needs to somehow penetrate, but also the educational systems, they also receive their nourishment from the incorrect source?
R. But all in all the work is an education and explanation.
17. S. (32:10) Where are the people of Israel deteriorating into, to fall into?
R. Into the abyss, just as all the nations are saying, maybe in silence they are agreeing that Israel has no part of this world and the next world of course so, but even in this world, so the same thing is what Israel thinks too.
S. Here the nations of the world but here we’re just killing ourselves?
R. Right.
S. When in this state of things deteriorating where will this recognition happen, this awareness when will this stop?
R. Why should it stop? Is there a solution?
S. No solution.
R. Why should you stop? After you stop you want something to happen. What do you think will happen after you stop?
S. Just like you said you ran to get operated to save your life?
R. Because I saw a solution.
S. So what do you do if you see that you’re just falling into the abyss and there is no solution? What’s in that state, you don’t have any brakes? What do you do?
R. There is nothing to lean on but the Father in the heavens.
S. That’s not a solution.
R. No, for us this is the solution, not for the nations.
S. I’m asking about the nations.
R. Just to show them an example and prove by this example that in the correct connection we can revive ourselves.
S. But what correct connection will there be? That’s the source of the problem.
R. We must turn ourselves to in order to bestow.
S. My question in what state of deteriorating into the abyss will we understand that we have to connect? Is there such a situation, such a state?
R. Yes, because there’s no other choice, no other choice. What can you do?
S. So where do the people start sobering up and realize that there’s no choice, that we have to connect? That there has to be a change?
R. I don’t know it seems to me that the state needs to be inverted. Everything that is happening there in Ukraine and Europe it will be directed towards us and then we will feel that the time has come, the time of Truth has come. If we take upon ourselves love your friend as yourself we will succeed if not so no.
S. The inversion will come with the nations of the world will awaken towards us?
R. Yes, because this condition love your friend as yourself is on us and if we don’t agree, they will rise up against us.
S. When they rise up against us that will encourage us to start connecting between us?
R. Yes we’ll feel that a new Force has awakened in us.
S. What is this new force?
R. The king, the Messiah.
S. What will it feel like in people?
R. That is connecting and teaching us and mutual connection to reach the force of bestow, the general force of bestowal.
S. And where does the disagreement and the separation, where does that come in?
R. It’s all coming to the force that is connecting.
S. There won’t be such harsh disagreements and separation?
R. No, it will be like a miracle.
S. And then when this miracle happens, we’ll start taking care of the world outside of us?
R. Yes, we will take care of the whole world.
S. Where is Bnei Baruch’s role in this?
R. In the center, in the center of explanation.
18. S. (37:52) It’s unclear what this center of explaining as of the force of Messiah awakens and it’s felt.
R. You explain who wakes up, what wakes up, and for what, when you explain it, you will let them know that the force that awakens.
S. So for this small recognition, there needs to be an additional explanation to develop it further?
R. Yes, just understand that we will need to really take care of it.
19. S. (38:43) I still didn’t understand because on the one hand you said it all depends on the ten and until we won’t connect here nothing to expect for anyone to recognize the recognition of evil, Etc. You need to explain in the background that we can give the data and so on. It all depends here on the ten, so why do we expect some blows to come or something from Ukraine or what not? Not even a group you said in a ten, so I’m trying to understand where the solution will come from? That’s why we’re all working in tens. If once we used to go out to some circle, to have connection games, but instead we’re sitting today in the ten reading some article. That’s where we heard the solution comes from?
R. So what are you asking?
S. Is there going to be any change if we connect in the ten? Will the solution come?
R. What do you learn in the articles?
S. Yes. That if we connect in the ten, the solution will come from there?
R. That is where you will know the solution and how to implement it.
S. I realize it within the ten. The ten, in the group and the world Kli and then something will open up as soon as they will be here then the state will change, then we will know what to do. Because if there won’t be Kabbalists they then how will we know what to do? Do I understand it correctly, because if I don’t understand that’s not good?
R. I guess so. I also don’t know all the details. Where can I know it from, but that’s how it is.
20. S. (40:50) It is a very nice discernment now here in the people. If a person thought that he had in the opinion and he’s standing behind his opinion today it is becoming clearer and clearer that it’s not really an opinion. It’s only the question of what channel you are exposed to. If you’re exposed to certain channels, then you will have one opinion. If you are exposed to different channels then you will have the exact opposite opinions. And it’s clearer and clearer. If people meet with one another they can’t talk because each one is completely brainwashed. Once there was a certain channel, a certain perception, some middle grounds. Where is this leading people to, this understanding that I am exposed to something and it influences me, that’s it?
R. We’ll see. I’m not sure that this is how it’s going to be, but it could be that from above all these things will change and start affecting us in a different way. That is how it is.
21. S. (42:07) This force that is called the King of the Messiah, does that mitigate the medicine or does it create lack of choice other than taking the medicine?
R. Both, but for sure it brings the medicine closer.
22. S. (42:36) How will there be a state that they will want to hear what we have to say and not this brainwash or that brainwash?
R. I guess from lack of choice, from helplessness. That there’s nothing else to do. That they won’t know who justice is with, and it’s clear that there’s no justice with anyone, that’s it.
S. Is there something that we can do for it to happen?
R. We don’t have a solution. Our solution is only connection. Meaning we need to open and influence and explain that the solution is in connection. The connection helps us rise above all the details, the negative details that are here in this complex state and solution.
23. S. (44:00) You told us many times about your connection with the Rabash that used to have a lot of claims and complaints until the Rabash said to you simply, why didn’t you ask? And this state that we are in now, that the nation is in, is in order for us to have the necessity to ask for the correct thing. Could you tell us how you came to this request so that will give us an example of how to reach the correct request?
R. Scrutinize the request in an individual way, each and everyone, and start connecting around it as one man in one heart that it will be as one man, that in such a way can raise his feelings of his heart to the Creator. And because it comes out of the ten, the plea of the ten comes against the desire of the Creator. That is called that one receives one. And then, that contact takes place. That is it, the contact is closed.
S. But still how can we now accumulate forces to reach pressure on this state that it is necessary for us, because without reaching the correct request we are lost and we see it. The people take it, even though they are, they are taking all of Bnei Baruch and the world to the edge and there’s no feeling that we have to reach connection?
R. That is something you have to decide. The answer is in us, in all of us. And I have nothing to add. Just more and more from day to day, we’re coming to the central thing that we must discover a necessity to connect in the center between us and it has to be here and now. Well, nobody has a solution?
24. S. (47:02) A man is a small world. We see that if one wants to force their opinion on the world we see that also in the ten we have opinions that are different and each one wants to pull according to their own. Maybe the solution is to ask above our opinions, above our different opinions that the Creator will give us a new opinion. Something like that, I don’t know how to ask that even.
R. So you’re asking for a new solution? You’re telling the Creator, what you gave me before I am despaired of that, give me something new?
S. It’s not what I was saying, apology if that’s how it sounds. I’m just saying that the solution you’re giving us, that Kabbalah is bringing us to rise above the disagreements above the different opinions. Only that can bring the desired unity, but here we need to reach the true request that each one of us wants to influence their own opinion on the others, but we are all actually wrong?
R. Okay. So for today we’re going to close our gathering and you are in charge of uniting everyone till tomorrow. That everyone will come to the morning lesson to be prepared for an interconnection between them, that from it we can implement the general connection. Okay? If we will reach that necessity, that we come to the connection from the general connection, from our connection to reach the connection of all of Bnei Baruch and from that towards the whole world? We can do something here. It is the time that was given, this is the game of hour.
25. S. (50:36) Even though I have this resistance, I feel I have to say that I want to take this responsibility together with Asaph to bring us tomorrow to this connection. I will be responsible together with the friend?
R. Great, thank you, bless you. Ok? Song.
