Winning the War – Selected excerpts to reinforce the World Kli and for peace in the world. #45

1.Rav’s Introduction: We come out of the assumption and later on we also want to see in our senses that our root is one unique and unified. That it is the upper force and ‘There is None Else Besides Him’ and even the dispute that is revealed in every detail in our world within us, between us, before us, and behind us, that conflict and that dispute is also coming from Him, from ‘None Else Besides Him’. The Creator created the disputes, the conflicts, so that we, out of these gaps, the differences that we discover between all the different forms of dispute, good and bad, bitter, and sweet, and truth and lie, light and darkness. The more and more we discover the differences, only the differences are what we can feel and count, then accordingly we can determine the connection between things, their status, one opposite the other. And in this way love will cover all crimes. In short, it is impossible without the dispute that is revealed between two opposites, the extent they become opposites, that they are revealed as opposites.

As much as we see the differences and what collection of differences and changes exist between all the qualities in the created beings, specifically upon that or out of that, when we begin to understand and also love the dispute, because precisely by seeing how much this dispute is giving us the possibility to understand creation, to feel creation, to feel ourselves and eventually to also feel the Creator. We all exist in the opposite of form to Him. Everything that exists between those disputes, those differences, changes, distances they exist for a reason. The Creator made them so we eventually would be able to feel Him as the advantage of light out of darkness and therefore what He created in us He certainly created in us all the qualities that are opposite to Him. By that we can attain Him, respond to Him and in this way we get to know Him. Therefore, the dispute is something that is necessary for existence if there were no dispute, no differences, no feeling of a gap between something and something else we would not feel that we exist. 

The entire difference between alive and dead, between the person who feels and understands who is in control, who knows that he exists in something, is only upon the dispute. Therefore, the attainment of the dispute, the truer it is to its full depth, we do not need to awaken it. We just need to check that it is there because the Creator created, what he created is all the opposite of himself. The attainment of this oppositeness gives us the possibility to exist or not. Also to invert that oppositeness to be in favor to be in order to bestow even though it is the will to receive but it has to take on such an external form in order to bestow and then we become incorporated of  two opposites. Inside of us, it is the form that the Creator created which is the will to receive and on top of it we build our correction of our external expression which is in order to bestow. In that way we become such that we grow inside in our nature that we are opposite to the Creator. In the external form that we have to express that we are similar to the Creator.

Then through something and its opposite that inside we already include these two forms out of the attainment of these forms which we build these two forms, with the help of the Creator, then we can understand  creation, ourselves, and the Creator. It is all attained specifically out of the dispute. Through something and it’s opposite. Therefore, we are not pleased with this, but we have no choice but to always exist from darkness to light, from darkness to light each and every time, each and every degree, each and every state to attain the gaps, that state that is undesirable. 

However, we still have to attain it because through something and its opposite there we do attain the essence of creation, the purpose of creation out of connecting these two things together and out of that we begin to understand the thought of creation. Why did the Creator do it with those qualities? What pertains to us and what pertains to the Creator? How can we incorporate both our own qualities that He created within us? as it says, “I created the evil inclination ‘and what are the opposite qualities? Which are His qualities? In that way one on top of the other, we position, establish creation and we understand the whole of creation from one end to the other. In that way we can then exist and understand and control the whole of creation. 

This is what the Creator has established before us, and this is what we finally have to attain. This is not at once, it is not in this life, there are additional processes we will have to go through, and it is through incorporation where each makes a certain effort. He goes over all kinds of degrees and processes. This is how to attain the dispute that exists within us and also what the reason is for it and what the desirable result is. Then we are incorporated with these opposite things, and we include inside of us also the result of the peace, the connection between them then out of that we understand that the Creator is created beings that we are capable of attaining something that is impossible. However, we do attain it. Which is adhesion with the Creator from the side of the created beings.

War is revealed as a dispute and we inside of us and specifically now in the days of the war. This war is a very special war. We will talk more about it. We will study it. It will be revealed more not as some kind of argument or collision which is childish or something. Rather it is a war that is an internal war. Much more so than all previous wars. It is already a new kind of war. Which is a war over ideology that the Creator wants to imprint, bring into humanity. He brings it to us in such a way that we will start to get to know in our awareness, our understanding, our feeling that the forms of nature that He established so that eventually we would attain Him. This is all ahead of us. Patiently, let’s try to become incorporated to drink these excerpts and to want that they will work inside us. That they will form is us. We want to take on the format of these excerpts  so they would make out of us a form as it says, ‘like clay in the hands of the potter’,  to come out with a new intellect and emotion. 

2. R. (11:45) It is impossible to attain peace, Shalom, Shlemut, wholeness, that is the name of the Creator, He is called Shalom, is a Shlemah, complementation between all that different sides that exist in dispute and it is seemingly impossible even in some way all to bring them closer and suddenly we  feel that there is some code, some method, some approach that cannot bring them closer but through the upper force we do see that it comes along and it can be together and it cannot be in any other way and the upper force cannot existent and cannot appear is us only in the form that it will come out of that dispute. This also relates to faith above reason to the spiritual perception that we want so much to adopt and develop within us. How do we reach peace, Shalom from the word Shlemut, wholeness, perfection? Out of dispute that it is impossible to have one without the other. Everything starts from contradiction, from the contradicting states from that we come to the awareness of the dispute. 

Excerpt 45: (13:28 )

3. R. (14:47) Yes, that basis for the dispute is the Creator’s nature which is the opposite of us, of the nature of the created beings because otherwise we would not exist at all. Existence means that we have something that is different in our foundations from the Creator. and there for the will to receive, and the will to bestow out of the contradiction between them, the oppositeness between them, this is how the whole of reality exists and we need to correct it meaning to complete it so that out of those forms that exist in oppositeness from the  Creator we need to make a correction over them. Not to change their essence, that is impossible. The will to receive remains the will to receive. However, it’s usage, its intention in order to bestow, this is what we have to establish on top of it. 

Reading 45 again (15:52)

4. S. (17:13 )  How should we correctly differentiate and clarify and scrutinize that dispute in the ten?

R. As much as we are in the study together and scrutinizing things between us. We have times other than the lesson. In the lesson we only scrutinized the method itself. However later on how to combine this method with what we are going through each one inside of him and the entire ten inside of it. This is something we have to do outside of the lesson. We will not have enough time in the lesson, and it turns out that you will be able to scrutinize what is hindering you from truly being connected ss ten Sephirot, as one Partzuf, as one man with one heart, as each one shall help his friend and other such recommendations that the Kabbalists tell us that we have to achieve. This is our work and then you will scrutinize it. It is just when we reach certain excerpts we have to measure them on ourselves. Can we cloth them on ourselves? Are we close to them for their realization?

Then we need to discuss it. What else are we missing in order to cloth in that state we are reading about? This  is what we need to do together. How do we together in the connection between us enter that state, that spiritual state that some excerpt is talking about. That it is possible to enter into that excerpt to cloth it on top of us only when we together will become organized better. What we have to do in the connection between is in order to enter that garment, that excerpt. Truly like inside a new garment and I need a little bit more. and a little bit more to match it to me, to adapt it, so it will fit me, so that I will resemble the Creator to some extent . It is not that I will be similar to the Creator but rather as much as I will be with the friends, then as much as our connection will resemble the Creator in that we will relate to each other this way, each one has a mini creator to the friends, this is how we build the Partzuf of the soul.

S. Why does egoism not want to do this?

R. The ego is not interested in us  performing this act of congruence between us and the Creator. We have to pay attention to the fact that we want to connect and our connection to begin needs to be with the purpose that we are going to become similar to the Creator. That form in which we connect we have to search by that we will become similar to him or not because in that we are already building  the form of the Creator. This is the work we have in the last generation specifically. This is how we need to do this.

5. S. (21:35) How do we get involved in spite of these contradictions so that we win this war? What is our involvement? 

R. I am explaining it right now. We have to try to relate to each other so that in our connection this is how we relate to the Creator. This is why it is called from the love of people to the love of the Creator. This is what we need and certainly those feelings are not natural. How should we upon all of the rejection and hatred that we discover, we will discover more and have to overcome even more because we keep growing. On top of that we have to arrange our external form so that we are seemingly in love, seemingly completing each other. In that way we reach a state that is called peace, whole, between us and to the extent to the Creator. Then we will  start to feel inside that form as we build such an attitude between us and from within us to the Creator how much that form starts to be felt more in us and then through that extent,  we will  feel that the Creator is clothing in us, is becoming revealed in us. How is he revealed to us? I feel him on top of me, on my skin, on my will to receive, on my form. I begin to feel that the Creator is truly just like children make out of sand. They make certain forms out of sand, out of Play-Doh so it is the same with us. We will start to feel how we come closer together somehow, that by that we break ourselves a bit. We shift from the personal egoistic form to a common form. How much by  that we make the Creator, This is called ‘you have made me.’

6. S. (24:21) The quantity of clashes and disputes does that influence something?

R. The number of contradictions that exist between us, that are revealed between is, of course they will grow more and more, the more we will advance to higher degrees we will see more collisions between us in a way that is more scrutinized, clearer and then we have to correct them, to  adapt them more and more. This is how it is going to be. Imagine to yourselves that you have to connect two opposite things together. At first you just try to attach them, glue them and then you start to organize the details from which these two opposite forms are incorporated. How much the oppositeness in each and every form has to match the opposite form. You have to divide them or seemingly break them again and poke inside each and every form and in these internal forms,  join and connect and truly complete each other. It will be revealed. This is already in each of our work until the end of correction. This is what we  do. When we finish this work, this  complementation between us then according to the Creator becomes revealed in all of his glory, and his power and this is how we reach the end of correction. The end of correction between us and building out of us the complete Adam that is similar to the Creator.

S. There is no point in being afraid of there being more and more clashes?

R. No, this is a sign of progress. The fact that we are reaching greater disputes that are more elaborate. This is a sign of progress. Of course it brings all kinds of states where in the first moment we do not want it because it is contradictory, they break for us the wholeness that we have achieved for the time being, but we should already get used to it and be set up for it.

7. S. (27:08)  What exactly is that dispute over and between who and whom? 

R. In truth, the dispute between us and the Creator is revealed in all kinds of such forms where it is between us.

S. What is the dispute over exactly?

R. In all kinds of different forms of the will to received wants to rule, wants to be in control. In  the end it is always about control. The control of one side opposite to the other side. Just like now,  let’s say you are in that war between Russia and Ukraine. It is about control, who wants to rule over the other. The Russians want control over the Ukrainians. The Ukrainian are not allowing them to have that ability to rule them. This is the war about two opposite forms

S. Before the Creator, what is the dispute? Do we want to control the Creator?

R. We want to control, you might say that “my son’s defeated me”, that the Creator created the evil intonation, and He reveals it, and we need to resist that evil inclination. That to begin with we are made out of it, and we agree with it. It  would be best if we could simply get along with that evil inclination each and every one and together, but it is not possible because of our own nature in each and every detail. Each individual wants to rule over the other individuals. There cannot be peace, Shalom, Shlemah, complementation, wholeness, adhesion. It’s impossible. We cannot attain it but only out of us being in mutual concession towards each other and we become incorporated with each other. Here we need to understand what is the essence of correction that I relinquish myself? I nullify myself towards others. This is first of all, annulment, restriction. After that we start to become incorporated with each other and build a common Partzuf.

S. That dispute is meant so we would complete the Creator, or we want to rule over him? What do we complete in the Creator with this dispute?

R. We build the Creator. This concept of creator does not exist. There is no Creator without the  created being. Rather out of us being able to build such a form where inside it exists entirely in dispute in the will  to receive which is divided in inner struggles among everyone. Like the students of a Rabbi Shimon who wanted to kill each other and above that we build a wrapping, like a  dress,  a garment that wraps everybody together and embraces everyone together, ‘love covers or crimes.’ The crimes are revealed more and more in quantity and quality. We specifically on top of them want to connect in spite of more and more crimes being revealed. Then we reach a state where inside of us there is a burning fire and  it is expanding more and more, burning more and more. On top of that we wrap it, cloth it in connection, in love. Love covers all crimes. These things are not yet in us, it is like a spiritual Partzuf, where inside you have many contradicting forces and they truly in rejection and hatred between them and on the outside we make a restriction over them with the screen and reflected light and intention to bestowal into a single source, the Creator. Then to the extent that we connect the in him then we can be in control over the thousands of contradicting forces inside of us and bring them to complementation through the force of the Creator.

S. You said that through the war the Creator wants to give us an ideology, what is this ideology that the Creator wants to give to humanity through the war?

R. That love will cover all crimes. The crimes will not go away from the world but only out of us controlling them in our understanding , our feelings, through  internal force and external force through connection between us so all the connection between us we position it in order to be able to control the dispute between us. Without dispute there is no possibility, no opportunity, no necessity for connection. In that way we reach the form of the Creator. The one, in the created beings, that form includes all kinds of contradictory forms that are in hatred and rejection, By us wrapping them together, inside there is truly a burning fire. The intention of each and every individual, each and every will to receive that exists inside of this collection, this intention is to restrict himself in order to be with the others and together with them in a single direction in a 

single action, operation this is actually our work. We, Bnei Baruch, our entire world Kli right now should start to get to know this work. Each one. in as much as he overcomes himself in order to get closer to others. He becomes incorporated into the corrected form of the corrected world, the end of correction.

8. S. (35:27) What is Shalom, peace in the spiritual Partzuf ?

R. That all of our vessels that exist in that Partzuf become revealed in that Partzuf.

 Set all of our vs existing in the spiritual Partzuf becomes a revealed in the spiritual Partzuf you can say 620 it doesn’t matter how many but whatever is going to be all of these desires the 613 or 620 all of these desires have to be aimed in order to bestowal to each other and all together why are they doing this only to give to the Creator to the higher force, to the origin.

9. S. (35:33) You said that overcoming the dispute is possible only through the Creator. There is no possibility to overcome the dispute the connection of the Creator that is only in the Kabbalists

R. That’s right. You are correct and this is why we have to lead this whole correction. We have to include inside the whole world all of their desires. This is what will happen. This is why this group exists, which is called Yashar Kel, so that it will be able to add to itself the intention in order to bestow, in order to connect to all of the desires in the world. In this way that connection will be able to progress to the desirable form.

S. What is the role for us in these conflicts and how to overcome this?

R. Why are we talking about this and in general this whole war that is happening right now. It is actually touching the whole of reality, the whole of humanity. We do not feel it yet in all the different ends of the world. This is how it is. We will feel it  because the true war hasn’t started yet. It is an ideological war, a war that is internal. We will see it. How it is happening and how much then we can add out of us, the intentions, thoughts, and prayers. Most importantly, the prayer. This is our work. We are advancing towards that along with the war and along with everything that is happening. I hope that from one lesson to the next you are absorbing the lessons; you are extracting from it everything that is possible. Then in this way we will advance towards the understanding of the essence of the changes that the world is going through. It is really already a part of the last generation, and we have to participate in this with everything we have. We will learn from that what is the form in which we have to become incorporated into our connection and what form of connection should constantly be evolving. It will all come. 

10. S. (39:00) The Creator creates the opposite; first of all, He creates the war and then He brings the peace so is that the Creator’s work or should that be our work?

R. The work has to be both the Creator and ours. The Creator awakens the dispute, and we need to use this dispute, not to erase it, but to use it in the correct way, in the necessary way so we will know in what way we are different, how each of us can change himself in order to adapt himself towards connection with others, to adopt ourselves. You know, it is like living cells and DNA and all our molecules inside our corporeal body which are in constant movement towards suiting one another and connection with one another and specifically through the changes in the connection between them and in their disconnect and re-connection, this is called “life”, the changes in the connection. And each time from the current connection and understanding of what is missing and then reaches from that the next connection and more and more. Along the way, there are such connections that disconnect and seemingly die but rather, as a result of this a higher degree of connection comes in its place and this is how we advance. The main thing is to constantly think how we can complete one another in order to observe between us the laws of the upper nature.

11. S. (41:26) How should we build the Creator; do we build Him through our prayer?

R. The Creator is the middle line which we build out of all the opposite forms that are in us and as we want to connect above our nature, as each wants to rule over the other, and then each is willing to annul himself which is called ‘to perform a restriction’ and willing to give to the other and the other to him in order to reach a common form; and this common form that there is between us a goal that is mutual, complete mutual bestowal where each is incorporated with the other in works and nullify himself towards the other. This is how we come to a structure called BoReh, the Creator. The Creator is not there but rather we build Him that way. It is the upper force which is in the degree that is above the creatures, we create Him from our matter, which is why He is also called BoReh, come and see the Creator, where we build Him through the special connection between us from contradicted opposite parts that hate one another, and each performs a restriction upon himself and thus connects with the others at which point we build the form of the Creator.

Meaning we seemingly reveal the Creator His form in our matter where, of course, He does not exist in such a way, but we build the form of connection between us which expresses, although it is completely materialistic, it is the will to receive. But when that desire to receive is in resistance with other desires, it nullifies itself in the form of bestowal which is how we build the form of BoReh, come, and see the Creator. Look at what came out of this game that is called that ‘the Creator plays with the whale and what comes out of this game’,  when we come to the form of the Creator.

12. S. (44:17) the moment we discover the contradictions, which result should we get? Would we  come to the contradictions remain?

R. We are not allowed to erase all the contradictions in us because the more the contradictions, we build the higher and more sublime Partzuf of the Creator and adhere to Him more from the opposite form. This is why it is all the crimes that love covers and we do not erase, like in our world where we want to erase things, no. But rather, we need to see the extent in which these opposite things come in one connection from being aimed, although they are intended to one source even though they are opposite, that it’s called, “and from Him our heart will rejoice”. Where they are all in disputes, changes, clashes but when they want to reach bringing contentment to the Creator then by this we do not erase the resistance, the contradictions between us but rather from the contradictions between us but rather from the contradictions between us we want to build a form that includes, which is incorporated, which is inclusive of all the resistance, all the contradictions. We do not understand it, but this form is built out of us wanting to come to this completion, to this wholeness. How to do this? We do not know. Do we this? Of course we do not, the upper light comes, and it’s written about that, “He who makes peace in the heavens performs peace upon us”. Peace, Shalom, from HaShlemah, from completion. Therefore, there cannot be peace even in our world if we won’t be able to bring this, upon this contradiction, the middle line, the method of connection, this special method.

S. It seems like a wall that we cannot overcome it.

R. Work on this more and more and you will see that you will receive the mindset and the feeling of how to do this. The fact that you cannot, that’s good, it is the sign that you have to continue.

S. May I ask a question about the middle line?

R. I don’t think it’s the time for it now. It’s still early.

13. S. (47:23) We hear tens sometimes talking about how they cannot see how they will ever feel hatred, like they do not know what this state is, and I feel this myself a lot. Is this war that we see an example for us that this is the level of hatred that would feel, like brother against a brother, the same way it is over there we’ll feel it here in our ten?

R. We need to see this from our life as we try each time to be in connection above the dispute then by this we will start to understand what new vessels the Creator is giving us each time and then from them, we will be able to put together this state of peace.

S. You said in the beginning that these writings, we need to have them clothe on us, like really feel them. Is it the same way with what is happening in corporeality, we have to feel that as  clothing on us?

R. Yes.

14. S. (49:37) You said earlier how we have to come to the place where we do not erase the dispute, we control them. What does it mean to control the dispute?

R. We will be reading these verses beyond this, and I see you are already asking not on the same line. These verses will aim us.

Excerpt 46 (50:18 – 50:54)

15. R. (50:57) This means that the dispute must be, we have to see in what it is exactly: is it in the same place that it appears to us where it is apparent to us we have to see that if we work from there onwards that working above the dispute, not erasing it, not deleting it as it is in our world where we want to do it this way. To kill each one another, to remove, to hide, to clash, to contradict but rather to complete and the completion is always in mutual bestowal, in bringing the essence of the Creator between the disputer, between the creatures and then we can come to completion, to peace. Therefore the Creator evokes and awakens all the wars and all the problems so that we will be able to collect them eventually in the form of mutual completion in the middle line, to make peace between us, between us all together by the Creator being revealed between us all. And that is actually the end to all the disputes in the world and until then the wars will not stop, the disputes will not end, and we will have to learn more and more about the extent in which we have to bring the middle line. “He who makes Peace in the heaven will make Peace upon us.”

Reading again (52:42 – 53:33)

16. R. (53:03) Meaning we need to understand the base of the dispute, the source of it. That it’s not in the dispute, itself, but rather it is in order for us to come from something that is even ahead of us. 

17. R. (53:36) Only from attaining the dispute itself and what it is, and this is usually the problem, that no one can define from his egoistic form the correct reason for the dispute. And the true reason for the dispute is the revelation of the deficiency for the Creator, all together, no more than that. If we were to know that all the disputes are in order to bring us additional lacks, additional deficiency, additional ability to come to the revelation of the Creator, then we are aimed correctly. And the dispute will come more and more but they will aim as correctly closer and closer to the revelation of the Creator.

18. S. (54:28) Does the connection between us mean I am trying to understand the uniqueness(?) greatness of the friends’ differences and that I am looking for a way for those differences to support each other in the connection? 

R. Yes, specifically in learning the differences, we attain the truth. 

19. S. (55:15) How do we reach a state of peace in the ten without erasing the arguments between us?

R. By us, to start with, understanding that all these arguments awaken in us not so that we will erase them but rather so that we will increase the connection between us despite the arguments. and we do not correct the state in order to erase the gaps between us but rather to rise above them. It is something that is much easier than what we try to do in our world, these corrections that we’re attempting. We think that we need to erase and then I want to break the other to prove that I am right and that he’s not right and he does the opposite. And this way we never reach anything. The method of the Kabbalah is actually the other way around where we understand the disputes between us and no one wants to subdue the others so that he will receive his opinion, no one. Rather, we want to be above these differences to come to completion. “Love will cover all crimes,” so how can it be that the crimes will remain, the dispute will remain? Yes, of course the dispute will always remain, and we will increase the love, we’ll intensify the connection between us more and more. So what will be the end? The end will be that we eventually take on the form of the complete dispute, and upon that the complete connection and they both exist together, both in the greatest coarseness and the greatest restriction and reflected light. Then the Creator is revealed fully, this is the method, this is the method of the Kabbalah and see how much it is not possible for something to exist in our world, if we want to stop these wars, we need to understand that there is no way to leave, this is only to rise above the dispute and this is how we need to teach ourselves and the whole world.

S. Should the arguments be revealed inside the ten or should they be inside of us?

R. We need to learn these disputes, these arguments in our ten but also to see them in the whole world. 

20. S. (59:08) In the dispute there are two sides attaining the reason for the dispute. Does that mean to understand the other side?

R. No I am not going towards understanding the other side of the dispute because of course I will not be able to understand them and attain what they are feeling and how contradictory they are to me. It is also not that important to me, it is not that I disregard them, it is just impossible on my behalf. No one can understand the other. We see this from our life but what we need is for each to rise with love above the hatred towards the others. Then as we rise above the dispute, do not think that we need to erase the dispute that we need to forgive or that we need to complete something somewhat, simply to rise above it. To agree with the fact that there is in the nature of the other something that I am contradicted to, that I do not understand that I do not feel like him, that is the difference between us. When can I agree with it? When I will be in place of him, I cannot clothe his desire. We are two different desires.

S. What helps us to rise above?

R. Understanding about what I’m talking about and not to continue in our way for I as an egoist wants the other to think and understand and exist like I do. It is impossible he is different, and he can be only in  his body as we call it, inside his desire.

21. S. (01:01:30) By which connection can we rise above both the good and bad inclination without deviating from the middle line, by feeling the next condition and without getting into good and bad inclination?

R. You are asking nicely. If we want to attain love and connection between us then we do not need to enter into any scrutinies in what ways we are different and how each thinks and why they’re like this and we are like that, no. We need to come to a state in which we together want to incorporate in the Creator from Him and merge all the different thoughts and desires that are different in us, and we want to connect to Him since he is the source for everyone and then in such a way we attain Him. It is something completely different, this is a new spiritual degree and in this way each time from dispute to connection, from dispute to connection on every single level in such a way we cannot stop the disputes and we cannot attain the Creator unless we do this. He who makes peace in the heavens makes peace upon us. In his heavens is the next degree there can be a completion upon us and it is only under the condition that we will rise to that level, to that degree, to his heights where He exists as one.

22. S. (01:03:32) If our disputes are built not over contradicting desires but rather we have a certain desire I have a certain desire, one who is close to me has something else. Let us say I take a shower and he thinks that I am drowning so he does all kinds of things for me?

R. I don’t know, that is something you need to scrutinize inside the group between you and your scrutinies. How to understand the dispute, how to arrange it, that is all from the experience. This is only out of experience.

23. S. (01:04:26) It says here in the previous excerpt that the dispute is between the will to receive and the will to bestow. How is that manifested in disputes between desires to receive in the egoistic desires?

R. Because the difference between us nevertheless is from the desire to receive and the desire to bestow in each of us and everyone. There is no difference, any difference in us, only in the desires to bestow in each of us and each in the other.

S. How do we use the disputes that exist inside the will to receive because he said that  is not the main thing. From them, how do we come out of them and use them in order to achieve and attain the true dispute and make that correction the dispute between the will to receive and will to bestow?

R. We think about the correction and not the attainment of the dispute, the dispute will come nevertheless from the upper degree. What we need is to come to connection and all that is possible. We cannot in the place that we are now, scrutinize these states like I’m hearing all these different questions and therefore I cannot answer them. We need to rise to a higher degree and there when we are incorporated there, we will somewhat understand the dispute that we had in the lower degree.

S. In summary, is it correct to perceive reality in a way that all the disputes between the friends or let’s say between countries and the world, it is all in order to awaken us to reach the dispute between the will to receive and the will to bestow? 

R. Yes that is eventually where everything is.

S. And if we were drawn to it to begin with, then maybe we could prevent the dispute between the broken desires? 

R. But how would we scrutinize the upper force and the necessity for connection with Him?

S. The fact that we do the work between us in the connection between us and we try to always reach the dispute between the will to receive and the will to bestow. If we do it ourselves maybe there is no need in the corporeal disputes that awaken us?

R. This will be clarified along the way.

24. S. (01:07:18) How can we help each other rise above the contradictions? Let’s say in the tens, between tens eventually each one exists inside his own contradictions so how can we help each other?

R. By example, where you show the other to the extent in which you overcome all your disturbances only to keep the connection with the group despite the fact that you seemingly cannot agree with them. But you subdue yourself and like Rabash writes in the Articles on Society that you are a zero before everyone.

Reading Excerpt #47 (01:08:17) Twice

25. R. (01:09:26) Meaning we do not need to care how to complete the dispute, how to cover it, how to connect between the edges, no. It is like children, sometimes we see to the extent which they want to put this into that, and it is impossible, but he wants it to happen, yes? He takes a block, and he wants to put it inside something, inside a cup and it doesn’t enter. We need to understand that the dispute wasn’t given so that we see, like all the people in our world, that they want in such a way to arrange, to sort these disputes. It is impossible, therefore we come to Wars otherwise we cannot realize how to come to this completion. We need to reach the distancing, and this is something that is a disagreement from above and from below, a dispute  that is removed and repelled from above and below. We are not capable in any way to arrange what comes from above and arrange what comes to us from our world and whoever wants to delay the correction of the world will be lost from all of the world and the dispute of moving and repelling Peace. Meaning we just need to know that these disputes are showing us our state and the extent in which we are approaching them in the incorrect way, in the wrong way.

Reading Excerpt #48 (01:11:42) 

26. R. (01:12:43) Upon what was the desire to bestow revealed? Upon the big desire to receive, a very big one that will be revealed at the end of correction. It will just be revealed in such a way that the desire to bestow controls it just like it emerged from the Creator, the desire bestow, and created the desire to receive and then that form will reign, will control, but that desire to receive does not disappear, and also in the end of correction only its form in order to receive takes on a subjugation and correction in order to bestow.

27. S. (01:13:28) How do we approach the restriction of the will to receive because after we do that clearly the light works on the restriction and develops the will to bestow but when the dispute has revealed it is not clear how can you approach it and restrict it at all?

R. The Tzimtzum, the restriction, is where I restrict my will to receive in using it in order to receive. It is called the intention, that I am restricting the intention.

S. Yes but when the dispute is revealed it is burning so it is not clear how we could even approach restricting it.

R. We pray and ask to receive the forces from above. You have no choice. Where else will you get the forces?

S. Yes but we are so busy with whatever is revealed in the dispute at the moment.

R. So you have your incorporation with a society, and without the society you see that you are lost.

S. Meaning inside the dispute there is still this window where the society is ruling?

R. There is always the possibility. The Creator arranges things as such that if He brings you to the society and says “take”, puts your hand on the good faith and says, “take.” Then, certainly, you have the possibility, otherwise you are hopeless.

S. How to approach it quickly enough and not let the dispute take over and rule?

R. This takes us back to the initial articles about the society that there has to be such a spirit in society that directs us together to try through the connection between us to keep ourselves in the society and then we receive nourishment and treatment from it. As we always say, “now we see how all this is necessary.” 

Reading Excerpt #48 again (01:16:01)

28. S. (01:16:59) Why are the nations of the world, the desires of this world, not able to understand that everything is the Jews fault so that they can come and demand peace from us?

R. The disputes have not yet appeared in such a way that all the nations of the world feel and understand that only the middle line which those who are aimed at the Creator can bring them when the time comes. It has not yet become possible. Besides, what do you think that Jews understand what it is about? No, only the Kabbalists. You see that in our time the group that Abraham put together in Babylon, from all of the different nations that existed in Babylon, it existed until today and today, once again, it becomes connected to modern-day Babylon, and once again it calls upon everyone to connect and realize the correction. So the concept of Jews requires scrutiny, and it is not that clear yet, what to demand, what needs to be done.

The nations of the world do not yet understand what this nation is and what is required of it. It is clear that there is something unique about it that is involved with everything that happens but what to do with that group it is unknown. “What is their origin and what do we want from them?” It feels like there’s some sort of resistance or rejection towards them, and yes, but there is not even the reason, or the nature of the resistance and the rejection is unclear, and that comes from the nature of all humanity, that this group seemingly has the method for correction in a hidden way that this group itself called the corporeal group of Israel doesn’t know it themselves. All of this still needs to unfold. This is a collective, a general clarification that is happening and it will happen in its time. If we advance correctly we will discover all of these things in a good and calm way throughout the world and in all directions. Then we will see how things happened here and there disputes arise even wars and we will try to bring about the correction.

29. S. (01:20:14) Why is it that in a state of dispute the Creator cannot be revealed? What should the disputes emphasize here? 

R. The dispute is the preparation for the revelation of the Creator. If we arrange the conflict correctly and try to bring it to the middle line then we bring about the revelation of the Creator.

S. Where is there a place to persuade someone in order to settle this dispute?

R. It is in the dispute itself that you have to explain, that these disputes will not stop until we will know how to solve them in the right way, and in the right way, meaning getting closer to the Creator as He awakens the dispute with the goal of bringing everyone closer to Him, to acknowledge that both the dispute and the solution come from Him and the solution is not that we want the dispute to stop we rather want to get closer to the Creator.

30. S. (01:21:50) He says here that there is one desire in the world, the desire to bestow, then all of the light and pleasure in the world become revealed. When you go onto this ladder there are no more wars? Every time there is another war. How come? Why is it that when you climb the ladder there is another war?

R. How will you climb to another level unless you feel you are at war?

S. Why do I need these wars all the time?

R. Otherwise you will not move, because the will to receive does not move from its place, it has a see that there is something to be gained.

S. All these wars we see today, all of this mess is because we have to advance?

R. Of course, yes. Therefore if we do not correct the situation then it will come to us as usual.

S. There are intensities of war, different intensities. Our work in all the tens all over the worlds, can it extinguish the flames of this war?

R. Undoubtedly, yes. We can put out these wars and go through the whole transformation in a positive scrutiny. Meaning through intellect, deliberation, and communication in the middle line. It is doable.

S. Meaning that it can become an internal war?

R. Yes.

31. S. (01:23:35) Is it to be included in the Creator as a ten to build the Creator by rising above good and evil?

R. Yes, because incorporating with the Creator means that you are connecting in the ten to such a connection that the Creator appears in the ten. It is not that one can incorporate with the Creator or two, as many as you are in the group, but the group has to be organized in such a relationship that reveals the Creator.

S. Should our desire to receive be to want to build the Creator?

R. Our will to receive has to realize that it participates in the revelation of the Creator, yes.

32. S. (01:24:50) Rising above disputes means making concessions to each other in the ten?

R. No. It is that I see exactly what the dispute is between me and the friends, or me and the Creator, between us and the Creator, that we see between us and the dispute, and together we are asking for the force to rise above the disputes and be connected. Not to erase the dispute but that the dispute will transform to a degree that we rise to. This is called that love covers all crimes. The more crimes that appear the more we can find a greater connection between us, and in it the revelation of the Creator.

S. If I understand you correctly it means that only through prayer can we rise above the disputes?

R. Only, yes. Very good.

33. S. (01:26:27) I see two people fighting, one is stronger, and the other is weaker so what does it mean to make peace between them?

R. Weak or strong it does not matter because we want to discover the Creator, both weak and strong. Each one has to do what is up to him in order for the Creator to appear above them. Meaning that the strong who has the greater force has to tie himself up more and then the weak according to his strength, and so when both are restricting their will to receive they will be able to connect in that each one is able to make concessions for the other. The strong one does it by his strength and probably greater ego, and the weak with his strength but when they ultimately want to connect and restrict themselves then there is no difference. After these restrictions there is no difference between the strong and the weak. It brings connection between them and then between them, in between them there is a possibility for the Creator to be revealed.

S. Suppose no one wants to concede?

R. Then what can you do? Then they have to learn that otherwise building the Partzuf is impossible. It is the only way.

34. S. (01:28:29) When there is a dispute usually it makes some separation. How to turn it into a force that can connect, and scrutinize without running away and blurring it?

R. We do not solve the disputes, we just have to clarify and scrutinize them correctly. Correctly means that we want to be connected for the sake of revelation of the Creator, and with respect to the Creator, great or small, weak, or strong, smart, or ignorant it all comes from Him so towards Him we are all equal there is none more or less successful everyone is equal because it all comes from Him. So that is how we have to accept everything and be connected. The most important thing is that each one brings about connection as much as he can.

35. S. (01:29:44) What is a dispute that helps you advance towards connection, and when does it not help us advance?

R. It all depends on what we do with the dispute. Any dispute that appears, it appears in order to bring about connection. We see that even sometimes in the family if the couple does not fight with each other here and there then they cannot strengthen their love. There is a reason why it says love covers all crimes.

36. S. (01:30:21) When we complement each other is that work in thoughts in the ten or is it the general thought that we should all hold?

R. It is the general thought that we need to hold onto.

37. S. (01:30:42) If we only cover the dispute doesn’t it make a situation that this unsolved dispute will erupt again?

R. No, all the disputes remain. We should suppress them with love and connection and then love grows on top of them. All of the disputes are like rising through degrees. There is a dispute, and we rise above it, another dispute and we rise above it, and that is how we ultimately reveal all the disputes and all the connections above them.

38. S. (01:31:24) The source of the dispute is inside man between the will to receive and the intention to bestow, or between friends who wish to connect and there is rejection and opposition between them?

R. Between the friends. All the disputes are between the friends. That we have to be connected together and then we will merit connection with the Creator.
