It looks like Arvut, mutual guarantee – that If I let go of the friends, I let go of the Creator, and I reveal the state of a shattered Screen.
It can be done either physically or virtually. In the end, if you’re physically together, no physical action helps, as you need to move your heart, where no one sees, and thus each has free choice in that aspect, to work internally or not.
Time zone may be considered for one’s ultimate ten, however, during the Grad Program, it’s based around the U.S. time zone.
1) what does the term ‘friend’ actually mean? is this the exclusion of all those who you do not term as being a friend.
The Kabbalists explain, a friend means a friend on the same spiritual path as you. It’s like Mendeleev’s table – you can’t combine whatever you want there, some are not amenable to the combination. People too are different qualities and weights (Aviut). You can unite with those who “float to the surface”, to the wisdom of Kabbalah. They’re not totally weighed down by the Will to Receive of this world, but at least somewhat incline to ascend upward to the quality of the Creator. That’s why they “happen” to find Kabbalah and that’s why I can call them friends.
2) does the term ‘friend’ just mean the rest of humanity regardless of their relationship to you whether the individual is indeed a friend or enemy, foe, somebody you distrust/ dislike etc regardless
See above
3) if the term friend means the rest of humanity/ all people would it be better to say “love all beings else as thy self”?
No, I can’t love all beings yet. We have nothing in common. There’s an order to the correction like there’s an order to the formation of organs in the womb. First, there is the Rosh, which is why Israel is Li-Rosh (“I have a head”). Those who are inclined to the spiritual goal are this avant-garde that I can connect with. Through this order, eventually, all of humanity gets included.
4) If we take it that the term friend means everybody in the world I don’t know whether I would ever be able to come to terms with that. I mean, with such dreadful things in the world done at the hands of man it would be very difficult for me to love such people let alone those who are considered as being friends.
According to the above, you’re correct. But later, it will all be covered with love, and all pain will be inverted, to pleasure. As it is written, “Love covers all crimes.”
No Masach is formed in Bina or in the Four Phases of Direct Light, in general. The Masach comes after the Restriction.
You may be slightly confused. Here, it’s Malchut already – not Bina. Malchut rejects the Light, and as she never wants to receive again unless it is to give contentment to the Upper Force, the Giver, so she only will agree to receive according to the will of the Upper Force – not according to her own deficiency. Therefore, there’s an authority outside her according to which she receives. It’s a new vessel.
