In Our Home, We Cover Everything with Love
1. Rav’s Introduction: (00:54) Yes, in the end, the purpose of creation is for all of the created beings to return to one system which is one ten. However many billions are in the system, it doesn’t matter but they will converge in such a way that their structure is ten. This is how it is according to nature’s structure, there is nothing we can do and therefore we only need to see how much our connection, our closeness connects us more and more in such a way that although we might be billions of people on the planet, we will feel them as one group. I think that we will feel ourselves more and more in this way as one ten, one group of people who are more and more connected to each other. And in the connection between them they become one group, one structure where each one feels the others as parts of him, as parts of one engine. In this way we connect and advance to to the Creator being felt in us more and more as the one, unique and unified operating force in all of us.
This is a process that we all have to go through as I said also yesterday. The world in this past week, the world went through tremendous change, tremendous, tremendous change. We will see now how we feel ourselves being in a new world. Of course in the physical world there won’t be such significant changes but people’s perception, people’s relation to life, to each other, to all of those things will change significantly and you’ll see in practice because we are in the era of the final corrections of humanity. It could take years but still we will see how the forces that should sustain it and unite people are getting closer and closer and are uniting and assembling us, building us in a singular system, in the form of a singular system. Let’s hope that we will understand it.
I am also speaking to all the friends all over the world who are not here physically with us, I am grateful to them. Yesterday, I saw in my office how many big groups there are in the world, in all the continents, in every place. We also heard representatives here, from such countries that we didn’t think that people would come from there to us ever, that friends would come from there. So we will see the changes. Pay attention, the changes will be in the perception of reality in the relation to reality in how much we understand better and feel better the general structure of the world.
There will be great changes. Our Congress pushed this whole system forward because the minute at the top of the system there is a group that is ready to accept the change towards connection, towards the goal it spreads from it as in a pyramid to all the other groups and parts of our general Kli, and then to all the people. It’s a very pleasant feeling that the world has taken a big and significant step forward and now it will understand better what lies ahead, what to do. And the inner essence of each and every corporeal action, of each and every person, of our people and even in the world is more and more directed towards the end of correction. The Creator will clothe in us more and this is the greatest benefit from the congress.
So, we are in that system, that structure of one ten as it has always been. And in all of humanity there is nothing more and there was never anything more than one ten but rather we feel ourselves more and more distant and divided but it’s in order to give us the possibility, the possibility to assemble ourselves more and to feel ourselves as ‘one man with one heart.’ That’s it, that’s the introduction to the lesson. Does anyone want to ask about it? Please.
2. S. (08:23) Yesterday we had a discussion. You said that something changed in these two days but these changes might not appear in a pleasant way in corporeality. How will the friends who were in the Congress have to cope with reality and other people and unpleasant phenomena?
R. I would put it this way, growing is always unpleasant. You have to accept many things that you didn’t accept before and feel them as contradictory to you. There’s nothing you can do. Evolution is unpleasant but it all depends only on how you accept it. If you know it’s for your best, that is how it should be, that these phases, stages you’re going through are necessary, that they are coming from above to you so that you would develop and feel reality, that it’s all operating within you, then accordingly, you also agree and want and operate along with it in the same direction. Then you won’t feel that it’s unpleasant, you will just feel that there is no choice, that it’s necessary.
In my life, I was given many medical treatments. I was cut up many times. I had all kinds of procedures, all kinds of operations. What can you do? But I remember how happy I was that the day of the operation finally came and I would get rid of some problem that I had and which I knew about and I recognised and I was expecting it already to happen because there was no choice. I ran by myself to the operating room and jumped on the operating table and said go ahead, start, really because they kept putting me off from day to day.
Today, we have no time, tomorrow this, doctors have many excuses. When I knew that only by this I could get rid of the problem. I had difficulty breathing because my lungs were filled with blood, so I was happy that finally I see that they are giving me the anesthesia already and I am going into the operation. Who would be happy about this? I was happy. I remember myself, oh great, now I am getting out of it because I couldn’t even speak. Every breath was difficult. So such examples, there are others.
So what am I trying to say? Everything depends on how much a person understands what is happening to him, what the Creator is doing with him. So let go of your anger and nerves, your calculations and let the Creator do what He is doing to you, do what He needs to do. Just agree with it and you will see how this whole period passes and corrects what it needs to correct through the body, in your soul and you will succeed and be happy. As we return to our places, to our friends, to our families, to our countries, to all those states that are unpleasant we see again the mess and the growing poverty and all kinds of relationships between people that are unpleasant. I know these things. I know what is happening in most countries, I am in the loop. So pay attention, that now it’s all about corrections, these are all corrections.
S. Can we say that when we are now leaving we have this great force from connecting and if we maintain the connection and increase it, it will also influence everyone?
R. There is no doubt, that truly beyond any doubt if we are tightening the connection between us and the way we were yesterday and today, if we disperse in this way in all our countries it will cause a great correction everywhere because we’re bringing with us the power of unity, the power of the Creator to be present. It will be present in us and will influence and project its power to the area where we are going back to. So I really think and I highly recommend, I’m asking you try to be connected between you. Try to take from here the gist of the message so that it will live here within you and by this you will be influencing others, even without speaking, without anything, it will influence, it will change reality. This is how the spiritual force operates. So try to do it, okay?
3. S. (16:13) I received great inspiration and I want to give the whole world what I received. The question is: what is the right preparation to disseminate to the world? Are we ready to do it based on what happened yesterday and in this Congress?
R. Of course you are ready even without saying a word. You’re living it inside and you’re constantly passing it to what is happening in the world and you want to bring it out, even without saying a word, and it operates. We have to understand that the forces that operate inside of us, the deeper they are in us, the stronger they are and the more beneficial they are, the more instrumental they are.
4. S. (17:35) We have changes in our inner emotions and maybe it will take time for us to truly recognise the change we went through. But you said we should pay attention, that the world will change, our perception will change. Will people also go through some emotional change or just in their understanding?
R. Of course people will feel that you are different, that you have changed. They will feel that they have changes in them. What does it mean that a person feels that you have changed? He feels these changes in him with respect to you. The changes happen in him and this is why you will feel it. Try not to be conspicuous, to stand out, be calm and quiet, not different from the people that you are with and you will see that things will fall more and more in a direction of correction. I am really expecting that because of the great spiritual changes we have been through in corporeality, that these changes will be several times greater because of the difference of degrees between spirituality and corporeality. And it will seem to us as great changes in the world, great changes in the world.
5. S. (19:41) Rapid changes were felt but also very difficult. Can you recommend to us some action that is relevant towards the friends in the world?
R. No, I cannot recommend one thing for everyone. Perhaps dissemination but in a very, very calculated way after you understand that you can do it physically, emotionally and it will not harm you. By this you only come out a little bit toward explanation in the place where you are, where you can disseminate, so people will understand better the process that the world is going through and the process that they are developing in. So only dissemination, as moderate as possible.
6. S. (21:19) What we feel internally, can it be like some reflection of what happens in general?
R. Of course we need to be more mixed with one another in this, involved, and report. Each group, each person reports their dissemination that we are succeeding in doing in participating with others, this is on the one hand. On the other hand we also need to have a better understanding of the changes in the world. In short everything stems from this. We need to be more sensitive, we’ll talk about it a little bit in every lesson. Perhaps we can have another additional half an hour about this or whenever it is convenient for you in the morning or during the day. Another additional part of the lesson which talks specifically about the development of reality, the development of the world, how much the upper force is entering this system of the souls, developing them, expanding them. It all depends on how much we want to understand it, talk about it, learn it. I am ready for anything.
7. S. (23:10) In the lesson introduction I heard that according to the results of the Congress we’ll feel the Creator clothing within us more. What is this quality and how to manage it, that the Creator dresses into us more?
R. The Creator dresses in us to the extent that we give Him the ability to govern us, to manage us. That we are willing to accept His management, His providence over us more openly and clearly and strongly. Not that we are managing Him but He is managing us. So we have to get rid of our previous perspective, we are not controlling anything, we only bring ourselves down from the ostensible, from the false control of ours and we’re giving the Creator the authority to be revealed more and more as the controller, the ruler.
8. S. (24:48) About the example you gave when you had to go for your operation and you wanted to be relieved, you ran to the operating theater and you totally accepted it. What sort of prayer do you use there, was that to relieve your pain, how does this work? What sort of offering, what sort of sacrifice was in the deepness of the prayer that helped you to relate to the connection? Can you explain this, how this process of prayer goes?
R. I think it is pretty clear to everyone. The interesting thing is that a person who expects salvation, who wants salvation doesn’t feel pain. He is expecting, awaiting salvation; he is entirely in this anticipation for the force of correction to come, and how that force of correction is revealed is not so important to him anymore. So you don’t feel any pain, you only want that it will do the operation and bring about the desirable goal, the desirable results. We see that this is what is happening to us.
S. What does sacrifice in that part? What do you sacrifice in that moment?
R. At this point you have to sacrifice your self-control and cover it with the control of the Creator, that’s it.
9. S. (27:09) The Creator both strikes and heals humanity with all of these blows. Sometimes there’s a feeling that we still have to suffer these blows as humanity.
R. No, you don’t have to. I suffer blows to the extent that my ego resists the will of the Creator but if they go together I don’t feel in it, any problems, suffering, pains. On the contrary, I feel in them good, sweet, cure, healing. It all depends on how much we can subjugate ourselves, submit ourselves to the treatment of the Creator of us.
10. S. (28:12) Sometimes the feeling is that as Bnei Baruch we are moving forward independently and at our own pace as if without paying attention to what is happening at the lower level of mankind. Can that be a problem? Is this a correct approach to focus more on my close environment as it is today? I am trying to understand how to expand perception in a way that the blows will not be felt as blows but as healing and even as a pleasant process. Is it even required to think about it, that’s the question.
R. I think that what is most correct is to think about the most central force that we have, which is our group, the world group as a ten. Let’s say the group that participated in the Congress, not physically, but in general everyone, those I see on the screen here all over the world. I think we need to think about that because this is actually that tip, the spearhead of advancement that’s yearning to reach the purpose of creation however it can.
For the time being as much as we can depict to ourselves and understand and advance, and the rest will still come afterwards. This is how it works. We cannot pay attention to the back of the train, the end of the train but only on its front, not on its rear. So when you disseminate, when you shape all kinds of ways of explanation, try to turn your efforts toward those people who can understand. They don’t have to be some decision-makers, like heads of states and all that, they’re not built to attain our material, they’re blocked. It’s for people who can rationally and emotionally understand what you’re talking about and in this way advance. In other words it has to be a very specific layer, not too high, not too low, and to it you want to speak.
S. How do we as Bnei Baruch justify the Creator? How to do it as a group action, how to achieve that?
R. The word justifying the Creator is appropriate, it’s the correct word because we don’t justify Him, we don’t feel Him, we don’t understand Him and it’s all because of the lack of revelation. So the lack of revelation, the absence of revelation comes to atone for the lack of justification, of our justification of the Creator’s operations on us. But we should only continue. The Creator understands us, it is like us towards our little children. However they are, they cry, they don’t like the way we treat them, they come and demand from us and say what are you doing to us and so on. But we understand that it’s nature and their reaction is honest, sincere, without covering it, trying to to put some make-up on it, it’s the natural behavior, so that’s how they look.
We look at them and ask, look at how they are behaving, why aren’t they being more polite? They don’t have that, they have the will to receive towards our will to bestow, so this is how the will to receive reacts. We need to understand that we have the same relationship with the general population that we are disseminating to, that they can’t do otherwise and their reactions and what they do, they’re degrading us in return. This is normal, it’s normal, we shouldn’t expect them to understand or react nicely. It cannot happen, it’s unnatural, it’s untrue. Therefore, we should be experienced and understand, that this is the way, this is how the will to receive gradually changes until it comes to agree.
S. No translation
R. It is written about it, ‘There Is None So Wise as the Experienced.’
11. S. (35:10) I feel great fear towards the reality I see. How to achieve balance between the mind and the heart and the internality so that it will appear on the outside as well? I’m asking for everyone’s help.
R. It depends on the atmosphere a person is living in. I have such students that live in such places where they cannot influence or disseminate or study the wisdom of Kabbalah publicly. They’re limited. Also in receiving material from the outside and in disseminating and dispersing the material from them. I too had such periods, so to them I recommend that we can be on our level in dissemination, in running little classrooms, our little group. I have such friends who don’t have in their area or in their language more than two or three people and they study together this way for a long time and they are very successful and are making great progress. The Creator didn’t set up for that layer more power and I suppose not more is needed. In our body too, there are systems that although they are connected and influence all the other systems but for themselves, they are not very powerful, they’re not powerful and they’re not independent. So this is how we continue, and it doesn’t stop their development. By the way we have many such countries in Latin America where there aren’t that many people to whom you can disseminate and get feedback, strong and expansive feedback from, but you will see how it will create a good response nevertheless. We will succeed, we will succeed in this.
12. S. (38:19) We received in the Congress examples of how to fill the emptiness with the greatness of the Creator. Is it good that we will already plan our next steps when we go back to our original ten or just to continue?
R. I think you simply need to take an example from what happened here, how much you felt the role of the ten here even though it’s temporary and random but look at the drive forward it gave you, the connection. So do it accordingly, in your own place. We just need to ask ourselves each time. Rabash required that once a week we would calculate what changes did we do? Are there any changes? If there is no change, we checked, we saw that there is no change, it’s still good, it’s still good. But nevertheless we have to check and then you will advance.
13. S. (40:07) With respect to the perception of reality we come to the actual reality through deficiencies that are revealed on the spiritual path?
R. For the time being it is difficult for us to distinguish between what is happening to us in spirituality and what is happening in corporeality because the truth is there is no difference between spirituality and corporeality, none. It’s only for us so we will detect the changes, the life we’re in, the systems we participate in. So we are in this perception of reality but in truth, it’s all spiritual, there is no corporeality. It’s all forces but these forces are establishing us, building us this way. And our internality, these forces allow us to accept the world in this multifaceted way where we have the still, vegetative, animate and speaking. We have the spiritual worlds which we still don’t feel so much now, we are beginning to come in contact with them, to influence them and they to influence us, so this is what is happening. We will talk more about it in the coming lessons and you’ll see how much it helps you get into the depth of the world and see in it, in this depth how spiritual forces operate.
14. S. (42:43) We went through many intense states at the Congress. How should we accelerate our progress so we don’t lose even a minute?
R. You went not only through states, you went through a revolution, an internal revolution. It’s there in each and everyone of you, although not everyone feels it, that it exists in him and is developing. I am very happy to feel it in you. And I really hope that it will continue to develop and I am certain it will happen. I think that the general impression from the group that was established here at the Congress, when you are in contact with it, when you read, when you hear from each other what is in you, it will help the development, the inner development so that the group that was here will continue this path, this route forward. So let’s perhaps create like a page maybe once every few days, maybe once a day, we will write like on WhatsApp, you have such a thing, something that will be understood to everyone or we will talk about it in the morning lesson. But we should, according to what you write we will dedicate maybe 10 minutes to announce the changes in us so each of us will pay attention to whether he is advancing towards it or not. We will do it.
15. S. (45:57) I’d like to make a precision. What calculation do we do in our ten? What do we focus on, the lesson or something else?
R. We have the lesson. The lesson is comprised of several parts, typically two parts. However, before a Congress or other important things it kind of all becomes one, it all becomes one part. So we’ll work according to the call of the time, based on what we need, that’s how we’ll organize the lesson. Most important for us is that we need to feel that we are advancing at our own inner pace.
Meaning that as much as I understand today, feel today myself, the group, reality, the Creator, to that extent, accordingly, I change myself, adjust myself, correct myself and adapt myself to the world. I see that something’s changed in the world and I calculate within me why is it changing, how much do I connect to that, how much does it influence me? And that’s our main work, that our will to receive will constantly update itself according to changes in the world, in reality, in nature. Meaning, each and every day is new, it’s not similar to the next day. The Creator is making a change every day and I have to feel this change. That’s also written, ‘Every day will be as new.’ So, we will connect between us and discover between us, changes that should happen within us and in the world each and every day.
16. S. (49:35) When a patient waits for an operation, all he needs is to trust the doctor. When we are expecting correction are we required for anything other than to trust the Creator?
R. No, we need a group, behind the group, the head of the group meaning, the teacher or the Rav because that’s already a transition to a higher degree, connection with the Creator and nothing besides that. If I’m connected to the ten and from the ten I have a connection to the Creator, I don’t need anything else in this whole system, it’s sufficient. There are no more parts for the system that need to add anything to me here.
17. S. (50:59) Concerning disturbances, I felt them coming from the Creator. How do we cope with these disturbances individually but also as a group?
R. You are asking about something very broad. We’ll deal with that and you’ll feel what you want to hear as a conclusion from everything that will happen. But to explain that or define that in a sentence or even a few, I can’t do that. This is a result of experience.
18. S. (52:07) I was interested in about, what Rabash said to you, that you told him at the end of each week how you promoted. Should we bring it to our tens?
R. Yes, of course, yes I’m happy to hear this question. That we need to check whether from week to week, we are further uniting, coming together in the ten. Does that give us a more direct focused approach to the Creator? Can we accordingly expect and even feel what we receive from the Creator in return? Meaning from week to week to aim ourselves a bit more towards tightening between us and getting closer to the Creator, to receiving a response from Him. Doing that, demanding that from week to week is required. Otherwise it’s like our goal is aimless and the connection with the Creator is the reward that we need to demand according to the laws of nature.
19. S. (54:08) Should we imagine the next phase, the next step, what should we describe, what should we depict in our minds?
R. In our mind we need to depict what we study from the wisdom of Kabbalah, to describe to ourselves the form of reality, that it is a single system with a single operating force which operates from the center of reality, the forces that work in all directions outwardly. And these forces are opposite and interconnected and we collect them, and even though we perceive them in different, opposite forms, we have to see how we collect all these forces and relate them back to that one upper force. That’s what we need to see, this is our work that we always have to be focused on that system, that picture so that this happens between us, yes. And then we will have no problem, it’s just strengthening and reinforcing this general picture more and more.
Most importantly is to everyday stabilize this system in front of you: where are you, who are you facing, who are you taking into account, who do you turn to in order to receive strength and understanding and so forth, who do you want to be connected with in your dialogue with the Creator, how does it go through the group to Him and in return but besides me the ten and the Creator I don’t take anything else into account. I can’t be connected to the Creator if not through the ten and therefore it stands in the way as the connecting device, and that’s it. And that’s how I have to try to always be in contact with the Creator so there’s no difficulty, this is just persistence.
20. S. (57:09) I feel so low, how can the Creator use me, where can I add?
R. It is said, ‘the Lord is high and the lowly will see”, if you haven’t revealed the Creator yet it means that you are not lowly, so you have to continue.
21. S. (57:52) To what extent did we succeed in bringing contentment to the Creator through our Congress?
R. To what extent I can’t say, I can’t measure, but certainly we brought great contentment and there is no other group in the world more than you that is so diverse, so big and varied that represents all of humanity as you. I am certain that you bring the greatest contentment to the Creator from all other parts of groups of humanity. I am proud of you and appreciate you greatly for this; the Creator doesn’t have many followers or who wants to reveal Him to bring Him contentment, to make some, a good action towards Him. And I want to reach a state where I lack nothing in the world where I will be in the height of the Creator even, but only one thing is lacking, bringing all of humanity to connection so in order to serve Him, the Creator, that’s the only thing I should lack, nothing for myself and for anything else, that’s it, so that is our work.
22. S. (01:00:26) According to my feeling all the tens are cells in the body and they build the organs of the body and Bnei Baruch the heart of the body. How can we incorporate the Creator more and more in the connection between us?
R. I don’t think this can be precisely define because it has to do with the feeling of the heart, and each and every one feels it according to his inner, natural qualities which is how the Creator distinguished him from everyone else and gave an individual feeling. And so we will keep working on it more and more, we will dwell deeper into our hearts and by that we will bring about the understanding of the heart. ‘The heart understands’ is the most subtle and lofty concept, that the heart understands itself, understands who fills it, fulfills it and who is feeling it and that is how the heart works.
23. S. (01:02:15) The Creator is performing operations on us and only entire world and even we, those who study, it’s not always simple for us to see these operations as beneficial because it happens without any anesthesia not even partial one, I guess the Creator has a plan to break the human system of states without any anesthesia. Can you explain to us what kind of operation the Creator is preparing for us in the near future and the time of the last generation, and if we can find some cure that will alleviate the pain and make the road easier?
R. “Turn it around, it flickers at me”, yes that it, what will I tell you? We live in the world where it is quality, its primary quality, it’s nature is concealment that is why it’s called a ‘world’, Olam, from the word …. , concealment’. And concealment means that there is nothing to be said about it and towards us it’s all blocked, and it’s all for our benefit because without it we wouldn’t be able to reach the degree of the Creator, we wouldn’t be able the degree of faith, the power of bestowal where we make actions.
Not because we understand them and feel them, that the future opens up as you’re asking and I already see it and then with my mind I understand what to do. It is not the same kind of force with which we can change the world, the force that operates in the true world, the spiritual world, is the force of faith and that means by bestowing I do because I love. Like, let’s say, we have kids: intellectually speaking, I should hit them and educate them roughly and in the toughest way to make them change once and for all, that is by power of nature of my hands and my intellect. But above that the power of love stops me and makes me into something else so that I take care of these kids with love, with patience, with dressing into them, and I don’t try to understand things from my degree but from their degree and so on. So there are two opposite approaches here, one comes from love, one comes from truth.
Based on truth, you are right, what can we know and what is going on with us, and how should we prepare for it? According to the emotion, the heart, the love, we have to respond differently, that I don’t care what happens to me and what I will get, all I want is their benefit. And so now in mankind, I will say it but maybe later on we will better understand it and discuss it right. Now there are two kinds of ways by which humanity goes: (1) one is the power of the fist, where people want to bend everyone else according to their will and make everyone just listen to them and that is like say we towards children if we were show ourselves that way; (2)) and the other part of humanity is willing to advance by the emotion that exists between people and also take into account thoughts and desires of others, and find some middle line between them and thus, advance.
I really hope that by this that the learning that will get from all of these wars that are taking place in the world, we will finally understand that we have to be connected between the left and the right, between the left arm and the right arm, and we will see what it means to grow as human beings and not like animals. It’s a very significant turn that we’re now taking in all of humanity in terms of the realization of the new education, that everything follows not Gevura and din, and power, judgment and power, but rather the middle line. What we have looking forward is, the more we agree and be wiser in being able to connect Din and Rachamim, judgment and mercy, and also be connected to others and understand things through the whole of creation, and not based on what we feel like or want to happen. So accordingly we will succeed, we will see great changes this year in terms of what is happening in the world but more than that I am prohibited from saying.
24. S. (01:10:43) We are talking about checking, about designing the system where all of us is the group and as individuals, we went through many scrutinies during the Congress, during the lesson. With what examination should we approach the prayer after such examination, such a scrutiny?
R. Am I ready to receive the perception of reality that now becomes revealed in reality, in humanity in a new way? Doesn’t matter to me how connected it is with the previous reality that I used to perceive and depict to myself. How much can I turn my mind, my emotion, my perception of the world to a sharper direction and even opposite direction that is what I care about. We also learn from mathematics that’s the straight line is a line whose each and every point goes through an inversion and that is why it continues as straight line. So that is the way we should be ready for, don’t be afraid of changing opinions, habits, anything don’t be afraid of that.
S. The question is how do we approach the prayer of the ten after the lesson, with what scrutiny, examination should we approach the prayer?
R. The test is that ‘the whole world is a narrow bridge’, and don’t be afraid of all the changes, and also don’t be afraid of even falling from this narrow bridge, this can only be for our benefit.
25. S. (01:13:54) You always cared for us like a father and moved us from corporality to spirituality, that is what I’ve felt during my few years on the path. I think today you’re asking something that takes responsibility from us, for us to work in this reality, too. What are the vessels we need to use in order to realize it in the shortest possible time so that we will do it and accelerate so that you will be happy?
R. There are a few principles here we can let go of otherwise we go out to space without any place we can hold on.
First of all we have to hold on to our ten, in the ten we have to discuss how much our direction of this day or this week depends on the pace you’re making, your calculations, how much you advance and leaping forward in a new perception of reality, a new relation to reality. Reality may be both me and the group and the whole world or the Creator, this is why we need to see that all this perception will be more or less accepted on the whole group and we, as we discuss the state of the group, meaning me, group, Creator. So I establish these three points a bit more, put them forward, maybe it’s opposed to what used to be but I keep on going. So these are the discussions you have to do at least once a week if you remember it, if not maybe even less than a week, and each one maybe should write for his own diary and then in the week you come and discuss it and you establish yourself together.
S. Thank you very much for this amazing thing you cause me to go through, I’m going to make it a lot better.
26. S. (01:17:26) You said that to reach the peak of creation and it seems that we can only continue above the clouds or to come down from the mountain to the people. So the question is what do we need to do to strengthen the physical centers or to expand the virtual space and teach?
R. Both, to make it short, both in physical groups and virtual groups, good luck.
27. S. (01:18:24) Continuation of what the friend from Italy asked: what we are discussing in the ten, we come to certain conclusions, what influences us, what impact us, in what way do we feel whether we get closer or distance. The question is how does the Creator’s influence depict it, is it in the distance or in the closeness and do we share it with one another in the ten?
R. We can examine our advancement only according to the feeling of a heart, how much I feel that my heart is close to the hearts of the friends, that’s it.
28. S. (01:19:27) I didn’t want to get on the plane without expressing my gratitude to Bnei Baruch for all of the support to being here. I got on four planes in many hours of flight, I am grateful to the Creator that I can advance and go through these hours of flight. I am getting back to my country with much more commitment to my ten and this morning I want to say that I love Bnei Baruch, I love Israel, I love this country and to say to Mexico that Bnei Baruch is the heart of love of the world, thank you.
R. Thank you very much.
29. S. (01:21:24) We had some friction in the past period of time and it’s unclear, is it enough, is it correct to read the text of Rabash intuitively or do we need a systematic way of checking?
R. We will work on this together and we will see it with time, that is what I can answer.
30. S. (01:22:29) Thank you for this special Congress and the care we have received here. This Congress differed in time and format: in the past we had three days with workshops and in the past, you never spoke, how we are influencing the world in such a way. What is the reason for such a difference in the result?
R. First of all the world has changed, the world has changed, we wanted to play with all the data we usually have in the Congress: ‘maybe have it in Tel Aviv in the Exhibition Gardens or even maybe in the desert or all kinds of ways, and ultimately look what happened. We already had that place, our men went over and started organizing the electricity, sound systems and internet, and everything, we were ready to be there, no. Ultimately we didn’t want it, in the way that when we were there the men were there, the women were here, separate, these two parts it is very substantial.
Look what happened, it’s not, we decided we’re doing it here both men and women, not in the desert, and we got what we got. Now about the number of days, I don’t think that one or two more days would add anything, we would have less benefit, we would dilute the excitement. And therefore it’s good we had it for one or even one day and a half because now, after breakfast you’re going out for a trip, right, and that’s it! This is why the change that took place here is not a change we decided about in advance, we wanted to do an advance everything in the way we did always, but the situation has changed from above, and I’m happy this is happening. If it doesn’t go according to my brain, my intellect, it is the best thing, it is under upper supervision.
31. S. (01:26:12) Many came to this Congress with the hope that we all see what is happening in the world, there was an expectation that it would influence and you said that indeed it influenced. And you now said that in the world there is a separation into two forces, one that wants to influence its control and the other that wants to feel the other. My question is during this Congress, which direction did we impact the world and have we impacted it at all?
R. We gave all of humanity a big push forward, big push forward, strong, forward, and now humanity will only realize what we inserted potentially, by our impulse, And within the few months we will see these forces that act in the world for its own benefit.
S. I’m asking because there is a desire to pass onwards a certain result, we have students, we have a certain audience that we are turning to.
R. I think we shouldn’t talk about it outside, as if we understand, we know what we’re doing, maybe some other thing that maybe even the worse. But rather that we act for the benefit of the world, that is for sure, for the benefit of the world. We are acting for the connection because that is the future of the world and this is what we are hoping that we’ll see in the upcoming future in humanity.
S. It’s just that people, the wider audience, they are also searching for some answers and they feel that here they need to accept a new approach towards life, this is, it is in the air, so we need to give people this simple strategy.
R. This too is in there because this is how we are thinking and feeling, this is why it is in the air; I don’t know, I am certainly not thinking about myself here. I am afraid for you and for friends in Russia that may feel from both sides forces that oppose you and I don’t, we are trying to avoid actions against sanctity by force, that is something I would ike to avoid, I wouldn’t want to see it, this is why I am settling for saying the words I do.
32. S. (01:30:37) About the diary, the changing of the states in the ten, how much we got closer to one another or grew distant. You said in the beginning of the lesson that the purpose of creation is to unite all of creation into one ten where the Creator is felt as one single acting Force and it is possible to say that the purpose of this diary in the ten is to follow and track our current states in order to increase our sensitivity to this force and determine that the Creator is the one in the ten?
R. That’s great, you are truly capable of writing and describing very beautifully, you should write it.
33. S. (01:32:09) I can’t imagine if we didn’t have this amazing house how could we gather this amount of friends and organize technically the structure to prepare it. I just heard that we need to strengthen our physical connections and not forget about our dissemination rolls. At the same time there is an opinion that we are living in the same city and we still have a connection, but even to gather to drink a beer together, we don’t have a strength to. What is left if we’re strengthening physically, everyone is feeling this distance from one another unless there is a Congress or some serious gathering that we are ready to go for. At the same time what I heard from you is that you got ready to break the existing states and be preparing for the new reality. So how to combine this distance and at the same time be ready to break it and come closer to closeness, coming closer together?
R. I don’t know but when we came to the Rabash to build the group he said okay you have to meet once a week. That was the custom with Baal HaSulam once a week, and we used to meet once a week, it was onThursdays we met for an hour and a half or maybe even an hour was enough. In that place back then all the friends of the group used to come from all around the country. Some were half day trips for them, but for some it was a very short way, but once a week was a must by kabbalists to gather and to speak about the connection, the unity, what we have attained in our connection in the past week. Because according to the time it is a week according to the amount it’s a ten that is how we have to gather and examine ourselves. This is why we make this calculation how possible, how much it is possible for you. I think today because we have all these instruments we have to make it easy. We can make it easy for the friends. We can be connected around the globe. We will succeed. We will succeed.
34. S. (01:36:31) Before asking a question I also want to express my gratitude from the whole Bulgarian group and from the friends that stayed in Bulgaria. I want to pass you regards from all the friends. We wish you great health to continue to direct us and the whole world towards the final correction. My question is you said that for our friends in Russian and Ukraine that you are fearing for them. We are all worried about what is happening. How can we other than prayer, the whole world Kli, support our friends so that your fear, you worry does not come true?
R. Only through the connection between us. Even less words, because by words it won’t be able to convince, to influence, to change, to connect, you won’t be able to do anything. On the contrary maybe you will be misunderstood. That is why the best is to simply have warmth when you feel you have to be together. After the shattering of the vessel, when we are all far away and not understanding each other, hating, how can we be in one vessel. Certainly the more we come closer the more we will feel that we are more opposite, more opposite of each other. That is why connection of evil ones would be horrible, best if they don’t come closer to each other. Rather the connection of just people, just the ones who want to justify the others. That is why it is a big problem how to connect groups even individuals in the groups a little bit by bit humanities is coming closer to that. It takes thousands of years and also through wars and all kinds of events, nothing to do about it.
35. S. (01:39:56) We, I think have received the Revelation, the revelation of the heart, so what is the next single point that we can focus on demanding strengthening the connection, demanding for anything else from your height, what do you think?
R. I think that the next point for us that we have to demand the understanding of the general reality from the individual to the general, the collective. After we see we have to strengthen the connection between us we have to come out of ourselves and to strengthen the connection in general of the whole world group, the whole of humanity in general. Once we believe the smallest change has been made there, but it is already done, when humanity is discovering it has to develop towards connection unity, to truly subjugate and hold itself in few such groups or a few nations, like bullies coming to control others we can subjugate them. Then we can come out to connection again.
This is how it may take a few ways. I don’t think many, all I see is two ways coming. This way after that there won’t be any need it will be a complete connection. The main thing for us is to convince humanity that connection above separation is the only thing that can lead us all to success. Everyone, the strong the weak the smart the stupid everyone doesn’t matter. That is the only salvation and then we would continue there is not much work this is really the work of the final correction.
S. Meaning we’re asking for the unification for all of humanity?
R. Yes and we, by the connection between us we’re calling for, we are obligating this connection to happen. We don’t have to go out to billions of people, no, if we do this work between us, inside us, it will affect the whole world in a way that everyone will understand that this is the exact direction that if humanity advances towards, there it will succeed.
36. S. (01:45:56) In yesterday’s lesson we were in prayer and I had a deep pain in my heart that I still feel everything that we are talking about today. So the question is, is the Creator not answering our pleas because of the lack of dissemination, or is it because we have not gathered enough sparks to build a great fire for him to hear us? Is it because we don’t know how to pray properly?
R. There is a part of both here, but it is a nice question in itself.
37. S. (01:45:26) We are on a narrow bridge and we shouldn’t feel fear. Can you explain how are we supposed to manage when something like that happens in the ten?
R. We will learn how to do that and there are many things that we will need to overcome in the ten and to rebuild. Because until the final correction we have both in the beginning of the work and the end of the work and between that we have all kind of events that are related to the general correction. A ten doesn’t reach the final correction if it’s not holy, all of it, the final point. All the other points are being corrected so do not expect the work to be easy, but rather it will be more complex more integral. The calculations will be more complicated.
S. Rav, despite this complication, just like when someone goes to the university, someone is able to experience this with joy?
R. Of course, if I know that each and every moment I’m advancing towards the general correction where everything is corrected, and nothing is bad, nothing is broken, and by that I give joy to the Creator. He’s happy when the entire realities being revealed to each and everyone fully. Every step that I take forward should be joyful, and if I do it correctly it is truly joyful and only good is being revealed. If it’s something that is not good being revealed, it is a sign that something in my correction is still flawed and this is a sign for the next correction.
38. S. (01:48:18) I wanted to join the line of gratitude before I ask my question, I want to thank our translator with the help that they help our teacher and everyone else. It happened that during the last night’s meal I was able to see the work and I was impressed with the annulment. They wanted to be here with everyone but they couldn’t leave their post as has they needed to connect everyone with the event. A huge gratitude to all the men and women and all the translators all over the world.
The question, we know from you and your example that what comes from the heart, enters the heart. I seems as am I’m hearing you that we are in front of a new stage of a massive dissemination, and in our group we have many men with great hearts but there’s a stereotype that I’m not able to teach Kabbalah because I’m not familiar with TES and PTICHA, tell me please what instructure of Kabbalah the method of qualification, understood how do you see him today how is he like?
R. The truth is it is not the wise who learns, not a researcher. A Kabbalist is a human that feels reality who is a force led by the Creator and nothing else. If a person feels somehow a little bit, in this process of seeing reality, feeling how it is going with Him together advancing towards correction towards the connection with everyone. This is happening by the upper force he may convey his knowledge in words and this is very important for the whole world.
39. S. (01:52:01) Due to the war that is happening right now on one hand, there’s a feeling that there should be a third solution that there shouldn’t be winners and losers. On the other hand, material comes out of this building expecting a singular resolution. How do we balance these feelings that the Creator awakens within each who is involved in this conflict?
R. The whole result of wars is that people will understand that there will not they will not be able to reach some communication, some coming closer that’s why they have no choice but a force of the ego dwelling in this world, that’s what the Creator says after they will inclination that He is the one who pushes it to war. This is why we cannot say that there’s someone here to blame. We should blame the one who created nature, the Creator. What’s happening next we should see what and why this is for because you shouldn’t show a fool the word that is not yet done. We must not say that something that is created that there’s no need for it.
All of these things need to be realized,connected and as a complement so we can see the wholeness and then we will see how much our life is a special kind of life truly being led by these forces to the top. Humans are led to the top, to the peak, we will see all these forces that elevators to the degree of the Creator. We cannot yet attain what this wholeness means to be incorporated in the good and the evil and to be above that. This is why I can’t speak about what you are asking, the war again and what we can do. I think that within the few upcoming months truly soon you will all feel these answers from the situation of the world itself. The way of all the systems are being canceled totally or partially, and to what extent they are all becoming something different, something new. I’m afraid to add because it is not yet ready. Also, according to your questions I feel you are not yet ready
40. S. (01:56:54) Thank you for all of morning broadcasts where because this helps us to see your view on the actual events and help us with dissemination and my question is: You are speaking just now that we should disseminating just not to some groups which you understand us not too high not too low, it is is there any approach that we should take because we knowthat we have to bring Kabbalah to all the world?
R. There are some groups on which we are speaking about and we will learn how to do it. I have nothing else. How to search for those groups only through dissemination, only through advertising that we will see how we collect and gather more and more people that are ready to understand the essence of nature of the world, Where does it advanced, what do we do with our lives, what happens about the stars and below us people who want to understand the world in which they live and themselves in this world. Those are the people that we need. They are drawn to the wisdom of Kabbalah because only through the revelation of the Creator the force that operates and lifts all the reality, only through attainment of the Creator can we get the answer to all our questions. This really is a wonderful process and it opens before you each and every moment and and you mind, a new heart, and you begin to feel how much you come and you, how much you are renewed.
41. S. (02:00:13) We went through some internal revolution in this Congress and every moment in this Congress felt like adhesion with the Creator. Every connection, every smile, every hug, every friend that stood in front of us brought this unification with this force that is driving us. We have two questions: The first question is, what kind of changes do you recommend that we Implement in such a collective state?
R. Only dissemination, dissemination can teach us how we need to change, dissemination will obligate us to study more, to write more, to sell more. Dissemination is the best means of development.
S. The second question is, besides the immense gratitude that we collectively feel, collect, how do we construct the ego for the prayer for the many, in our current state.?
R. Still we don’t have the prayer of many, for that we need to bestow and influence the wider public for them to connect to us and then it will be as a wider public for us.We need to influence it, to bestow and spread the material.
42. S. (02:03:11) We all go through changes and we have gone through a change and this whole time living in Germany and learning in a Ten there, I have heard from friends and we can feel that Germany is becoming a warmer place for the friends and I see how much this trend of the general development affects myself. I have a great fear and pride that this is the way we are developing. I feel how much this process may influence the war that is taking place now as well. How can the development of the groups in Germany and the groups in Europe and maybe the Russians speaking groups can affect the war in a more efficient way.?
R. As much as every person and in a group and parts of humanity and the whole of humanity a country and a nation as much to the degree that they feel we have gone past the period and times of War. Time for war has ended with the Atom bomb and you see today how much they speak how much they do and everyone is quiet everyone is silent. When will it be the end of the world? When both have an atom bomb and when you have nothing to do because of what they can do to me, I can do to them and what will remain it’s no longer important. Which is why we are today in such a period and this is the last scrutiny, what is happening between Russia and Ukraine and the west and the east.
R. They need to clarify, they need to scrutinize and understand that there is no other way. As many tanks, and special vehicles and planes as an atom bomb you can not control anything but with an Atom bomb, you can and that’s the end. It seems like we are living in a very special period, a very good one that is such a way the Creator brings us towards the end of this scrutiny. For now let’s say onwards you will see that a year ago the war started and what now you see there is no reason to continue. He can ony get more dangerous and nobody wins in such a way we see everything here and it may happen that it takes a little longer until humanity understands that. I feel what is happening inside the governments inside of humanity. This feeling in this opinion already feels the people and countries which is why I’m very happy that we live in this transition to a state where there are no words. What do we do next?
Humanity never lived other than with the knowledge that all so there will be war, we have to be successful and then what ,now there’s a different time, a different state at different goals that we have nothing to do, what to live for, who will win? Which is why it feels like a new era will arrive and we will win. and we will leave so that you can attend all the things in this world Humanity relatively it’s already let go of this now we have a new goal, the attainment of Eternity the Creator in our life, and in this direction we have to start humanity and it is a completely different thing about this world, above life and death, poverty and here is a completely different feeling wholeness completely at 10 min without barriers, without borders, this we have to explain to humanity, that this is the purpose of life not that I kill or heal someone but that we are all lifted each other up to the degree of the upper world.
43. S. (02:10:39) First of all thank you for everything. Earlier we heard from you that we have to absorb the good feeling of this Congress of the environment, like a sponges. we are truly caught up in the flood of love and bestow here. How can we turn the examples, the opportunities we have received into a force of dissemination rather than coming back to our ego.
R. Only through the force of the group. A person who has gone through different states up and down cannot promise himself anything rather only based on where he rises and descends. The group asks as a shock absorber and then he’s able to in his jumps up and downs. His personal ascents and descents. He is also existing in a place that is general for the Ten. He doesn’t leave the framework of the Ten. In such a way he guarantees for himself a correct advancement in the right direction relatively peacefully. Therefore, the connection to the Ten is more important than the connection to the Creator. This is what is why it is written from the love of the creatures to the love of the creator. First of all, we need to gain stronger connection with the Ten and then whatever he will do you are guaranteed that you will not descend.
44. S. (02:13:22) Are we still to use integral, education language in our dissemination or are we to try to connect people to us here more so?
R. Yes and no. To the wisdom of Kabbalah you can attract only those who genuinely want to come and enter and be inside this wisdom. But those who don’t really care but they want to concern for the peace of the world, the peace in the family, get a little bit of knowledge to make their life easier, you have to supply to them what they need and only in such a way they will be able to advance. On this it is written, educate the youth according to his ways, meaning that we have to give education to each and everyone to the degree that it is suitable for him; to match much our education to the person and not to put the person forcefully into the framework of education as it is done today.
45. S. (02:15:13) One more example we have seen from the team that prepared this Congress, when everything was ready to have the Congress in the desert then everyone annulled after we have this advice to cancel. And they organized everything again as they heard from Rav as this was the truth, I don’t think this was ever precedented. The question is how to take this as an example to what’s going on in the tens so we can hear one truth and there won’t be opinions in different directions?
R. There is no other force other than what I’m feeling in the internality of this large group and what can really be the inner desire, the strong inner desire of theirs. So first of all men and women can be in the same location and meals organized. Women who are Petah Tikva with the kids on their hands also can come here and participate in all sorts of events, for example I’m looking at my daughter. There are ill people, people with physical disabilities, everyone can participate, they can walk the streets. So they will not see the camels, in the desert we did have camels right? So this is what they missed out on and that is it. This is more comfortable, this is easier. We are not the same people who live in some barn or in a tent and so on. It’s not like it used to be, we aren’t capable for that anymore so what do we do? It’s not worth it all. In all I felt your desire, you’re desire, this is why I agree, not that I made a decision instead of you and I think in any case it wasn’t a loss, right?
46. S. (02:19:08) Today we talked about blows, we talked about faith, of a good world, of a good path for the whole of humanity. How can we enable every person in humanity this good path?
R. Truth is simple. It needs to be taught to love, he needs to be taught to love others and then he will be arranged and equipped for all events of life. What we’re missing is only one thing, we don’t know how to love, the opposite of what we think that we’re missing. We’ll study all of the wisdom of Kabbalah, it is in essence the study of love because the Creator is love. This is His quality and as we begin to come closer to Him, get to know Him and get familiar with Him we learn how to love.
47. S. (02:20:51) The feeling and the situation we attain in the Congress is when we dissolve to one ten, one big ten and now that we know we have a responsibility over a new degree in dissemination the question is: should we change the way of work in our tens, should we upgrade it?
R. it will come of itself without us having to go through some tests or raise ourselves to some degree. It changes each and every moment through each and every one of us who influence us and bestows in the ten and changes the way of the inner work of the ten.
48. S. (02:22:16) Rav about the fact that the Congress was not in the desert but rather here in our house we have this scrutiny in the ten but this is certainly a flawed scrutiny since we’ve crossed the desert already we’re above our egos, we’re above our earthly desires and that’s why we’re ready to break through into the king’s palace and to attain the first degree of adhesion with the Creator. Is this correct?
R. We need to clarify that on the path. What you are saying has some truth on the one hand and on the other hand we’re yet to discover some new things for us, so we’ll leave that as a surprise.
49. S. (02:23:39) If you can be precise here about the quality of self annulment, can we decide if it’s a loss or win or middle line?
R. No. Because first of all we can’t measure it. If a person annuls then he has nothing to measure it by. He has to be included within the group so that it supplies him with the new borders, the new barriers, the new framework and will give him new understanding. And what you want to do is rule everything with your brain, with your mind, you’re a big egoist.
50. S. (02:24:58) We were focused in the past three or four years within; now it feels that it has to be poured to the whole world for the next degree.
R. Yes.
S. It’s already felt that it won’t be like flyers or newspapers but rather we have to add it to ourselves as a inner part.
R. Correct.
51. S. (02:25:49) Our lesson is about to end and there is a feeling of pressure, heaviness because we’re discussing very serious questions. But despite that I would like to ask how a Kabbalist feel the joy from the work as it should be.?
R. The Kabbalaist feels the work that he does only on the condition that he starts with his work to open a new degree towards the work and then he begins to reveal what he has earned, profited on the new degree. Because precisely now with this profit of the new degree he is able to unravel it and he is rejoiced from that. Meaning, he never has joy from what he has been through, merited, earned; rather the joy is always from what he is beginning now in the new ascent because this is what he can present to the Creator, give the Creator, and from this he is rejoiced. May you always have joy in another half a step forward going towards the Creator and from this you will have joy.
Well, I see that we can finish. This is in essence the end of the Congress. I think that it was short but to the point, that even if we haven’t felt it we have solved many problems in groups and tens and in the world. It is not for nothing that the Congress fell on a special dates in the scrutiny of the world and I’m happy that this is how it happened. We will see the results from it soon and we are in touch, in connection daily, even several times a day whenever you want and in whatever shape you want, any place you want. We’ll be able to meet and continue our way, our path but I think that now we will have a very special and meaningful ascent, an ascent already towards the top of the world, and the palate shall taste. I am very, very grateful to all the friends from all over the world that came here, and I’m sorry that you have invested so much time and effort and money but it is all for the benefit, all for correction. So we will continue with this, thank you, thank you.
