I didn’t see such a practice in Rabash’s writings, but I heard that we should pray for the ten all the time, ask the Creator for them. If you can do this over each of the different parts of your day – that’s something. That’s the question. Over which states can you nevertheless come to connection with the friends, and prayer to the Creator.
No and yes. Most of it is imaginary, and what there is is the ego, which can harm others. By thinking bad of others, you harm them. However, you harm yourself at the same time, several times over. You can do all kinds of rituals around this, but you can also get rid of all those rituals, and what is left is just the ego that thinks of harming others, and when I think ill of others, I harm myself.
So, they harm themselves, and on the other hand, my positive and kind attitude, an attitude of bestowal to others turns into a shield through which negativity cannot penetrate.
One should always be in contact with There Is None Else Besides Him. However, the pleasures that are of the same kind that all animals receive are not the pleasures that the Creator enjoys. Rather, those are called, “neither praised nor condemned.” But be in the feeling of There is None Else Besides Him, and He is the Good Doing Good, and these things too will take their right relationship to the path.
It’ll all clear up eventually. The Light is unchanging. The vessel’s qualities determine how the Light is felt. If it has a vessel for a hamburger, in the Light it tastes hambuger. If it’s a desire for wine, it tastes wine in the Light. That’s if we’re talking about the world of Eyn Sof, when the Light wasn’t restricted. Afterward, not all desires can be used, and so the Light is felt only in those desires that can be filled in order to bestow. As we descend through the degrees down until our world, this is what’s going on, until the system reaches a state where there are no desires left that can be filled, in order to bestow. And then there’s darkness: our world. We need to rise up the degrees.
