Daily Morning Lesson: November 16, 2025 

Part 1: Recorded lesson - Sep 8, 2020

Excerpts from the sources: “Work with Faith Above Reason”. #33

Reader: Hello, in the first part of the lesson, we will learn from a lesson that was recorded on September 8th, 2020, “Work with Faith Above Reason,” select excerpts from the sources, we're in excerpt number 33. 

Reader: Hello, we are in a lesson on the topic of the “Work with Faith Above Reason,” we're reading selected excerpts, we're on excerpt number 33. The study material appears in Sviva Tova, as well as on Galaxy, just click on the book icon and you will find the study material there. You can send questions on our site, pertinent questions will be aired during the lesson. 

M. Laitman: (00:57) Yes, we are continuing on the same topic, “Faith Above Reason.” How else? This is the topic where we build our Kli, our Partzuf, our soul, and we have no more than that to do. We need from day to day to see ourselves with a new desire, where we feel that what we had yesterday is deleted, and it can happen several times a day. As we go back to this topic of faith above reason, as if we haven't done anything, as if we haven't achieved anything, where even though we had some sensation, we don't feel that we're in it, it's all erased. Meaning, the will to receive keeps renewing all the time, because we have to reach some level where over the will to receive that is renewed each time, we have to do more and more exercises with restriction in the sense that everything comes from the Creator, everything has to be above self-benefit. I turn to the group, as I turn to the Creator, and in this way I build my Partzuf snd I have  Aviut.

What I receive from the Creator, and by the restriction and screen, I build the relation to the Creator and to the group, that I'm devoted to them, and what's important to them is what I want to feel. That's in what I want to live. And what's in me, my thoughts, my desires, I certainly feel them, I certainly start from there, but that's not where I want to be. I don't want to be immersed in that, because except for just building my spirituality on that foundation; we have Aviut, over that Tzimtzum, Masach, Ohr Hozer. Meaning I want to bestow outside of myself, which is towards the group and the Creator. And this way, again and again. We aim to build my correct attitude above us through the group to the Creator, as it says, “until every penny joins another penny”, until there's a great sum total, and we've built this form of the Partzuf.

From there on, we begin to work in the spiritual world, we begin to feel this intention of bestowal, in order to bestow above myself. Everyone feels that dimension and begins to recognize spirituality, the spiritual world, the spiritual space and because we have to invest a lot of exertion in that, a lot of different types of efforts, so each time it disappears and comes back, goes away and comes back.

M. Laitman: (04:51) We perhaps would like to put ourselves permanently in spirituality, but it doesn't work that way. It's impossible. The Creator gives this to us in little portions, so that we do more with it, so that we invest and properly establish it. And that's how we build our spiritual Partzuf. I truly hope that we begin to achieve that. There are people among us who have a will to receive with the point in it that attracts us to faith above reason, in order to bestow; with some with a bigger will to receive, smaller, in different shapes. But ultimately, everyone has a place in the collective soul and if we already received an awakening, then it's a sign that this place is already awaiting us. So it all depends on us. Let's hold our friends, our people, our whole Kli, and let's try to work specifically on that point, that everything is in the hands of the Creator, there's None Else Besides Him.

I have to relate myself to Him with the group, through the group. And then my work will not be like something that people talk about outside and that we have to believe something. Rather, it means that our work is above our will to receive. And that's how we advance. There are discernments here that are difficult to express in words. But gradually, out of a lot of words, each and every one will try, according to their own efforts, to feel what it's about. So I very much recommend not to let this subject go, even though it is repulsive, it's frustrating, I can't get anything from it, some people are fed up with it. Keep going, keep going, because it's the only approach to achieve the revelation of the Creator to the created beings. Please.

Reader: We're on excerpt number 33, Rabash, Article 38, “What Is, “A Cup of Blessing Must Be Full,” in the Work?”

Reading: (08:03) 33. Rabash. Article 38 (1990), “What Is, “A Cup of Blessing Must Be Full,” in the Work?”

A person needs great mercy in order not to escape the campaign. Although he uses the counsels that our sages said, “I have created the evil inclination; I have created the Torah as a spice,” but the person says that he has already used this advice several times to no avail.

He also says that he has already used the advice “He who comes to purify is aided,” and it is as though all the counsels are not for him. Thus, he does not know what to do. This is the worst state for a person, meaning he wants to escape from these states but has nowhere to run. At that time he suffers torments at being between despair and confidence. But then a person says, “Where will I turn?”

At that time, the only advice is prayer. Yet, this prayer is also without any guarantee, so it follows that then he must pray to believe that the Creator does hear a prayer, and everything that one feels in these states is to his benefit. But this can be only above reason, meaning although the mind tells him, “After all the calculations, you see that nothing can help you,” he should believe this, too, above reason, that the Creator can deliver him from the will to receive for himself, in return for which he will receive the desire to bestow.

Reader: Again, excerpt number 33. 

Re-Reading: (10:13) 33. Rabash. Article 38 (1990), “What Is, “A Cup of Blessing Must Be Full,” in the Work?”

M. Laitman: This means that the Creator prepares all the states for us. There's None Else Besides Him. He does everything. But the exertion from a certain point along the path is what we need to give, to relate everything to Him, to the Creator. And then it's the only thing we need. All the rest is done by the upper light according to a person's annulment, subjugation to that force.

Question (Bulgaria): (13:02) Is it possible to ask to scrutinize better these amazing words we just heard now? It left a great impression on me, and I would like to clarify greater the text. 

M. Laitman: I can't explain more than there is here. Just read it a few times. Try to translate it to Bulgarian or other languages, whatever is clearer to you or more felt for you. And just understand that as you, again and again, run into the opportunity to determine faith above reason, and you don't know what it is or how to do it, it all comes from the Kli itself.

It's not that you're like this and others are not. Everyone has their own will to receive, which does not let the person rise above himself and understand what it means to be above the will to receive, what it means to be in faith above, outside the will to receive. That's faith above reason - that we have a desire, and above it, we need to make a restriction, and above the restriction we exit to in order to bestow. In order to bestow means that what's outside of me is more important than me, and I accept that as the determining factor. That my whole life truly depends on the group and the Creator, and I give myself, and I become immersed in them, and I don't want anything to remain for myself besides that point which is my point in Adam HaRishon, and with that point I want to be included in them. Everything they have is where I want to be. And then it turns out that I have a Kli called faith above reason, a force of bestowal that I enter and there I gradually begin to build myself, time and again. That's what you are going to see. And this has been prepared for each and every one, we all will have to go through that because this is called spirituality, the degree of Bina above the degree of Malchut, where we want to think, feel, understand, see - everything according to that higher degree above me. It's not that I will rise to that, I rather build another level of perception of reality. It's not that I will become more sensitive or wiser, that's not important. That's my inner development. I care about spiritual development,  which means I exit my ordinary perception and I want to perceive everything through the importance of the others, through the importance of others. That's how it is. 

Question (Moscow 1): (17:24) What is the meaning here in this inner appeal? It's written here that he has to believe above reason that the Creator will help him come out of his desire to receive. We say, there's no Creator, but what the person builds in the Ten. So, what is that inner address that will help here? The address to who? What is that? 

M. Laitman: A person must not forget that all of his degrees, all of his states are all in reality already. They're predetermined. He just has to put in the power, the effort to be in them. I push myself into the level of Bina and that means that those outside of me, the group and the Creator, are more important than me. And in this way I begin to see, feel, hear what's in them rather than me. And this attitude of what's happening in them instead of me gives me the sensation of spirituality. Now, if I only felt what's in them, I'd be an angel. If I feel what's in me versus what's in them and the Creator, and I think of what's in them and the Creator, that is called a Kabbalist. That is called Adam, which is a much higher degree than that of an angel. We are literally entering this sense of touching the spiritual discernments. You'll see. It'll happen. And most importantly, be patient and thank the Creator for doing these exercises with us. It doesn't depend on the study, how much you study. It depends on how much you want to enter the group and the Creator, and belong to them. 

Question (Heb 10): (19:49) Rabash writes that the worst possible state for a person is when he wants to run away but he has nowhere to go to. And then he suffers torments from being between despair and a state of confidence. 

M. Laitman: Right. 

Student: It's pretty close to the heart so far and really felt. What's not clear is that he has to then give forth a prayer. That transition to giving a prayer is not clear. How to do that? 

M. Laitman: A person needs to feel that he has no choice. That if he will not attain spirituality, he'll stay as a beast in this world. Because we live the life of a beast. A person is already the degree of the Creator, Adam, above ourselves. So every opportunity we have to rise above ourselves through the friends, through the Ten, we have to take it and use it, and go back to these exercises as many times a day as possible. 

Student: What's a prayer actually? How does that happen? How do you come to this? 

M. Laitman: Prayer is that I want to reach a state where the quality of bestowal dwells in me. That's it. And also when we learn all these excerpts from the articles - yesterday we started, this evening we started studying TES, part 6. We are always asking for the upper force to clothe in us and give us an opportunity to think and feel outside our ego. 

Question (USA Northeast): (21:56) Can the palate taste above reason and gain the experience of the taste of the work above reason, or can it be done below reason? 

M. Laitman: Below reason, means that you are a beast, that you are simply canceling the whole matter of faith, of Bina, and you are immersed in the will to receive, and a primitive one, not the one which grows. Because our evolving will to receive is in order for us to rise in a greater demand above reason. And faith below reason, means that we're just using our beastly mind.

Question (ITA 4): (23:08) A practical action - when I do everything for my friends, I think of my friends, and I feel that there's this desire, for corporeal desires that are exploding in me. What is the practical action I can do to remain on the path? 

M. Laitman: Only to be connected to the friends as many times a day as possible, take part in all the lessons, and if you have more time then go back to what we've learned again. Repeat what we've studied. I can show you my books which I studied with, and wherever you open them you can see how much I wrote, how much I doodled here, diagrams, all kinds of things. Each and every page, each one filled with a lot of additions. Without it I wasn't able to learn. Every time we went back to this material I did more, and I have six volumes of TES this way. So if you have time, go back to that. With excerpts, it's easier. We didn't used to read the excerpts. We used to read the third of the article, and then go to TES, and the day after, read another third, where you already forget about the first one, and it was a big problem. Today, we already have these excerpts that enable us to do it in a more condensed fashion, and also more suitable for our time. Because we're all in a hurry in the last generation. We also have to understand that we need to prepare ourselves for the general development of the world. The world is deteriorating very fast. Maybe you're not aware of it. I'm not talking about the news. I'm talking about what I feel. The world is declining and declining, and we have to make sure…how do we maybe quietly, but still prepare the method of correction for the world. According to the corruption that will appear, that we will possess the method of correction. We have to acquire this method of faith above reason as fast as possible, which is the main method of the wisdom of Kabbalah, how to achieve spirituality, so that we can talk about it as fast as possible, as well as operate without explaining to them. We have to be ready with great spiritual force. Not even very high, but still some level that enables us to help the world, without even mentioning it to them. They won't understand it. Just like we now don't understand how it works. But we will work. And we'll work in a way where the human mind doesn't operate, and the human emotion doesn't feel, because we will be above that. And that's what we need to learn.

Question (Latin 6): (27:14) It says in the text, to pray in order to believe that the Creator hears one's prayer. Can the prayer correct another prayer? Or is there a prayer after a prayer? It's written that it turns out that then he needs to put forth a prayer so that he will believe that the Creator does hear his prayer. 

M. Laitman: The power of correction only comes from above. This is called the light that reforms. Therefore, we need to understand that after everything that depends on us, there's only a request to the Creator that will help, that will show, that will teach us. We want to be on His side. We want to be in the force of love, bestowal, connection. We're just incapable. We don't even understand what it is. So our entire work has to end with a request, a collective request. As much as possible, together, to think about the same goal, the same state, where we connect as one with the Creator. 

Student: The prayer prior to prayer is so that the prayer will be collective? In faith above reason? 

M. Laitman: Right, right. Prayer cannot be not collective. It's only ten, not 9 or 11 as it says. But it doesn't matter, even if the group is 5 or 6, that's good too. As long as it's together, as it's collective. That has to happen. Without it coming from a collective, the Creator doesn't feel it. This is called “one receives one.” The Creator being one receives one, which is the created being. So, several desires connecting as one. They overcome the shattering or made themselves or want to make themselves a shared desire.

Question (Belarus): (29:55) It's written here that we come to a prayer through confidence and despair. Confidence in what? 

M. Laitman: Confidence needs to be about each and every one of us ultimately having fate, having a destiny where we have the goal and we have a place in the common soul and we have to reach it, doesn't matter what happens. Even if you don't do anything, you will achieve it. But beyond it, I need to be certain about the faith in the sages, the Kabbalists who tell me how I can speed up my development and turn to the Creator through the group, and ask Him for the correction so that I rise to His level in understanding, relating to all of reality with love, as He does.

Question (Ukraine): (31:12) Is there a dependency of our common prayer through which we raise MAN successfully to the Creator or not? 

M. Laitman: Yes and no. You don't know when you ask and when the Creator comes closer and wants to answer you when you awaken Him or when you awaken Him less. We don't know. You know, sometimes it's like with a child. Sometimes he's yelling and crying, but we don't pay attention to it because we can't give him what he wants. And sometimes he asks more softly, I want this, and you absolutely give him. 

Student: Before the lesson, we have this common prayer. Is there a need for this prayer to be together? 

M. Laitman: Prayer can only come from a Ten, from the Partzuf. Otherwise, it does not reach the upper force. He stands against each and every group, an individual group. Even two coming together, praying to the Creator out of the connection between them, if they turn to the Creator, the Creator hears. The upper degree is always built opposite the lower degree in a way that the lower degree, there has to be a connection there to equalize with the upper degree and to communicate the deficiency to it. You understand? If on my degree, I become one with my group, this deficiency out of that one, out of that oneness rises to the Creator, which is the upper degree to us. And that's how it always works. So without connection, there's no prayer. 

Question (Kyiv 1): (33:43) You said that the spiritual state comes when several Hissarons [lacks] overcome separation and overcome with unity. We have our desires in the Ten when we connect together. This Kli that we build, is it something bigger than the connected particles of our desires or is it just a sum of them? 

M. Laitman: Of course, when you each overcome your ego and everyone above their ego connects with the others, that is already a spiritual deficiency and you can turn it to the Creator. But if you don't rise above yourselves and connect between you, making a request from the Creator, than He doesn't hear. It's just mechanics. It's the lower degree opposite the upper degree. You were all born from the upper degree, and so in order to rise to it, to come to it, you have to be connected again. And then you hit it, you touch it, you raise your deficiency to it. 

Student: In such a case, what does it mean to overcome the egoism? You said, there are two choices. When we overcome and connect and…?  

M. Laitman: When we connect between us without canceling the personal ego, it means that we are connecting on the level of this world, say, like in the army, or in some group of some sort, or a gang that went out to beat up someone. When do we raise ourselves above our personal ego? When I want to integrate in my friends, in their desire, in their goal. I want to be a part of them, and each and every one does that. And so it turns out that in this connection, when we each want to integrate with the others and be for the sake of the others, then we discover the Creator there. 

Student: Does the revelation of the Creator happen automatically? 

M. Laitman: No. No. When you want to integrate in the others when you want to live in the others, be in the others, you cancel your ego, you want to... It's like Hillel says, if you have a pillow, give it to him, if you have a chair, give it to him. Love thy friend as yourself. Through that you build a Kli where the Creator is revealed. You don't need to give anything to the Creator besides this preparation. Only that. 

Student: When there's a desire of the friends that I'm included in, I nullify myself, and there's something that connects us all together already. What is it? 

M. Laitman: It's the upper force that connects us together. He connects us together. There's no other force. Because it's a force of bestowal that's common to all. That's the Creator. It's very close. It's just some patience, and you'll see what happens. And then it turns out that we rise above towards this, and the world is deteriorating in parallel, and there will be a point where we feel we can meet with them because they will be in total helplessness, just having nothing.

It'll be like, ooh, such a distress of the whole of humanity with what's happening to them. And then we will also be able to bring them the force of going above reason, and they will accept it without work. They'll just take it out of no choice. That's how it will happen. And you'll see how the world is deteriorating daily. And with an understanding, better and better, people start understanding where we're going, that we're not going back, that we're not going backwards, but rather we're going forward, more and more into uncertainty. What's uncertainty? All people of the world are being pushed into a lack of understanding, a lack of knowledge about the future, uncertainty in anything. So they will accept the level of above reason through us. That's how it works.

Student: About external people that you're saying, our goal is to bring them this feeling so that they will feel it, or to incorporate it in them? 

M. Laitman: No, no. I also don't understand. When I speak, he doesn't hear, or what? No. We need just one thing, to achieve faith above reason. Nothing else is important for us. Towards them, we need to publicize the process that the world is going through. That only through coming closer to each other, we can come to a correction. But not to tell them about faith above reason. It'll seem completely delusional to them, like some fantasy.

Rather, only tell them that the future of the world is inevitably connection. And if we want to acquire an antivirus, then it's also a connection. Whether it's against the Corona virus or other viruses that are already standing in line, only the increasing connection between us further and further is the cure for all the viruses. That's it. I truly hope that we will reach a state when we can advise how to do such studies. Research that we conduct in groups, in big organizations, showing that as much as people connect among them, even simple people in a mechanical way off the street, how that weakens the Corona virus presence among them. I don't want to go too fast with this. We have to understand where people are. But it will happen. You'll see soon. 

Question (Turkiye 3): (41:31) What does it mean to hear the Creator's prayer for a person who is working with will to receive? 

M. Laitman: A person always works from the will to receive. Always. The will to receive does not purify out of existence. It doesn't disappear. It only grows. It grows within us more and more. Because without this will to receive, we have no foundation, no existence. Meaning, without it, there's only the will to bestow, which is the Creator. The will to receive is the creature. So each time we accept a greater will to receive, it is more and more intensified. So we have to work in the Ten, where everyone has a more intensified will to receive than they had before. And it certainly happens, even if we don't feel it. And each and every day, we'll have to connect above our will to receive. Try to feel between us a shared, connected desire, built from all our desires, where we each annul ourselves, and we want to live in a single desire, a common desire. And in that common desire, everyone remains with their own original desire. The annulment is not about canceling the desire itself, but rather the way I use it in a personal way, that I want to enjoy it in a personal way. And then we connect and aim towards the Creator. 

Question (BB UK): (43:38) There's an overcoming above which we connect. Is there some other overcoming that brings us down? 

M. Laitman: Yes, we come closer to the Creator only by the ascents, but between each and every ascent, there's a descent. And each time it's greater with despair, and I get upset about everything, I can't do anything, I want to leave, I want to go. You already know it a little bit, but you'll see how big it becomes, where without confidence and supervision from the society, from the group, I can't hold on. Because I'm receiving a will to receive that's greater than myself. So I can only hold on by clinging to the group. There is no other solution. The mechanics are simple. I have to hold on to them because within me there's only a greater negative force. I have a sense of despair, helplessness, no desire to advance, I don't care what's going to happen and so on. And here it's only about holding on to the group. Everyone goes through these states. You're going to see what other states will emerge. It'll be a lot more intense, and we'll go through it together. This is called going through the stormy ocean to the shore. 

Question (Moscow 3): (45:35) When you say that I nullify and include myself in the group, does it mean that I'm incorporated in their prayer? 

M. Laitman: It's called praying together with the Ten. It's not that I do it in myself and they either know about it or don't know about it. We have to build it. It takes five minutes or ten minutes, doesn't matter, when the Ten connects. Today it's very easy to do with technology. So connect during the day for ten minutes or at the end of the day whenever you have time, and everyone says one sentence about what he wishes for and that goes into our common prayer. That's it. And then you'll see that everyone thinks this way, that everyone feels this as one. And this has to be done every day. 

Question (Moscow 3): (46:50) Can a person who's alone physically at work, is he on the way to raising a prayer with the Ten? 

M. Laitman: What does it matter? There's no problem. What does it have to do with your body? What does it matter? You could be lying in the shower and raising a prayer for the group. Yes? It doesn't matter. There's no interference here with anything. 

Question (Toronto 2): (47:27) When our society functions above reason, are we then living on the root level and affecting the world on the branch level? 

M. Laitman: Yes. We then rise above the world and influence it from above. The roots are above and the branches are below. It's similar to how we draw our logo, where the tree is upside down, yes.

Question (New York 4): (48:10) Rabash is a tremendous Kabbalist, and we're simple people. How is it possible that he's writing about our states? Like everything that he's writing here, it feels like what we're going through. 

M. Laitman: He's going through the same states. I was next to him, and I saw that I'm going through these very tiny states, and he's going through such states that I can't measure, but it's the same until the final correction. It's the same technique, the same technique. You can read Kabbalistic texts about the group or whatever they write, and you'll see that it's essentially, it's always the same thing, faith above reason, how they're drawn to the adhesion with the Creator. The mechanics of it is the same. It's just that the topic or the ways are - the paths are changing, but the car that’s driving on the path is the same car. So the path is changing, but through 125 degrees you go through changes each and every moment, but the principle that you always have to acquire the force of Bina over the force of Malchut, that's the same. There's nothing more in our world, just two forces, forces of bestowal and the force of reception. So, the Creator awakens the force of reception more and more within us each time, and we have to demand the force of bestowal, and to correctly merge the force of bestowal above the force of reception, faith above reason. 

Question (French ): (50:15) Can you give an example of something that the Ten can say to a friend, so that he will understand that only through the prayer he can correct himself and emerge out of his state? 

M. Laitman: It's best if you show it to him in practice, that you are connecting among you, and you are producing a prayer, you're writing a prayer that comes from you, and he'll see how you're doing it, and you'll see how much he wants to participate as well, because whatever you do, it becomes a spiritual action. Even if it's not above reason, it doesn't matter, but it's together that makes it spiritual. So many questions. I'm happy that there is progress. Also in what you're asking, there is progress already. 

Question (Moscow 2): (51:32) When a blind person walks, he feels around with a walking stick, with a seeing stick, and if he sees that something is solid, he continues his movement forward. What is the criteria for me to be incorporated correctly in the friends? What is that hard surface that I step upon? 

M. Laitman: That I want to step over my ego, my desire, and I want to work in Him, in His desire, to nullify. This is called to annul the will to receive. I don't cancel it, I rise above it.

Question (ITA 4): (52:21) Why is the whole path built according to states that don't let us know where we're advancing to? We're not allowed to do that. 

M. Laitman: How can you advance or understand a state that you're not in your mind or in your feeling in this? How do you want to grasp such a state? We only have the mind and our feeling, the intellect and a feeling. How can you grasp it if you don't have not a feeling or an intellect on acquiring that spiritual degree? That's why it's called faith above reason, where you have an opportunity to rise above your desire, and then you will feel a higher up degree, which is already a certain form of the Creator. And then again, in the next time, and again, each time you raise yourself above the desire. And the desire for you is like the foundation. It's the base upon which you build, like in a Partzuf, the desire is inside the Partzuf, but there's the restriction, the Masach, Ohr Hozer, the receiving of the light in order to bestow, in the part of the desire, from Peh to Tabur. And the part from Tabur below, you don't use, you don't have the forces to do so. And then in such a way we acquire a higher up degree. Clear? Wonderful. 

Question (Spain 1): (54:16) What's the difference between spiritual development and inner development? Is it the ability to make this restriction above my ego? 

M. Laitman: It is simply the same thing. There is no two. It's the same thing. Spiritual development, it's also internal development. That's it. There's no two things here. There's only one development. 

Question (Tbilisi): (54:57) A group of Partzufim, of people who united for the sake of other people, can they rule a country? 

M. Laitman: I don't think in such a direction at all. And I would recommend you all not to use any form of faith and bestowal by entering into politics and all kinds of other things. We need to first of all now acquire for ourselves this method of faith above reason, and then we will see how to gradually, slowly, slowly bring it down to the nations, to humanity. And they won't be able to use this any other way. But rather, we will tell them what to do, and they will want to hear from us what to do and to keep it, as we will be as the Rosh of the Parzuf. Israel is called Li Rosh, [a head to me], Li Rosh, Israel, and they will want to keep it, to observe it. Because at that point, they will certainly be going in the right way towards the purpose of creation. But right now we're not thinking about anything except for the fact that we need to acquire this degree, to understand, to know, to find our way in it. 

Question (Latin 7): (56:45) If a friend raises a prayer for faith, for connection, praying for the revelation, is the connection in the Ten comprised of the synchronization of all the friends to the same desire, the same prayer? 

M. Laitman: I don't know, and I don't want to know that. I need to do what's upon me to do. And the Creator arranges the rest. That's how it works. Otherwise, you want me to enter into this machine, into this mechanism, into this system, and to know how it works and how each and every one is included there. How is that possible? That's not asked of us. It's like you demanding a baby to know how he grows up. There's no such thing. We need to only subjugate ourselves towards the care of the upper.

Question (Florida): (57:56) Is it important to know if I'm going above reason? Or should I just continue to pray? Is it important to know?

M. Laitman: What’s important for me to know - that I want to rise to a state that's called above my reason, as above my reason is called that I am operating according to the desire to bestow, according to connection, according to all the definitions that are called in me spirituality and not corporeality. In corporeality, each is on his own. There's no connection. In corporeality, each is for himself and not bestowal. And I am trying to define my state in connection and in mutual bestowal, and I want to start to feel such a reality, and through it to see the whole world. I want to look at everyone with different eyes. Not with my eyes but with the eyes of the Ten. And in my feeling I want, and in my heart, and my mind, in everything I want to come to a collective perception. Not the way one person sees this, but rather the Ten. The Ten is a Partzuf. The Partzuf is a spiritual structure, and what's revealed in it is the spiritual state. 

Student: So, the more that I want this and the more that I yearn for this, the stronger the prayer becomes? 

M. Laitman: Yes, of course, our prayer will be more and more powerful that way.

Question (United VG 4 ): (01:00:16) You said that the message towards the ones outside is when they will be disoriented, and even mechanical connection will help them overcome the virus. Do we mention to them the work with the Creator in some way? 

M. Laitman: Look into how our writers write in their appeal to the external audiences, I think that we need to gradually, slowly, slowly explain to them more and more that all our good depends on the connection between us, and this will slowly trickle to them. They will laugh at us, they won't take us seriously, because it's like us telling little children: be connected nicely, don't quarrel between you. But slowly, slowly, they will understand that the correct law in creation is that we are all connected, and in a right, mutual way, where each supports the others; since only in such a way we enable the general force of life, which is the Creator, to be revealed in the right connection between us. Life is connection, and only we, in the degree of humans and from all of humanity create separation. 

Question (Turkiye 2): (01:02:03) How should we work with friends so that we can be ready for prayers of our Kabbalist ancestors, so that we can bring the light into our vessels? 

M. Laitman: You simply need to repeat our lessons. Let's say now we just read one excerpt, number 33, and we're talking about it for an hour already. I don't think this is redundant. On the contrary. Why? Because through us hearing what the friends are asking, how the teacher answers them, by this we connect. And this connection is already a spiritual one. It's already above our entire egos, and it's in order for us to connect and reveal the Creator. This is why this is the work. Therefore, I feel that some of the friends are saying - ah, they're asking, I'll wait until we study something. No. Especially, it's written even about the teacher, from all my students, I have become educated. Where I connect to you, connect to them, and answer them, and while I'm answering your questions, we are adding and building that general soul. Because what are the questions? They're deficiencies. They're the matter of the Partzuf of Adam HaRishon, where we're raising and scrutinizing it, and each time adding to it a little bit through us the reforming light. And this is how we're preparing our part in Adam HaRishon to live, to begin to feel how the Creator is revealed in it. That's why I give you the possibility to ask, because this is a practical part of our correction. 

Question (PT 29): (01:04:29) I want to go to the practice again. So let's say we did a round, and some of the friends said requests that seem similar to me, some not. What do I do? 

M. Laitman: Nullify. You have only one thing, to annul yourself and try to feel the others.

Question (PT 20): (01:04:55) Faith above reason is not a simple thing. Where does the joy and work come from, and is the joy also above reason? 

M. Laitman: Also the happiness and above reason is from the usage. While I'm here in this world, I'm already starting to acquire and to arrange for myself a spiritual Kli, an eternal one, with which I don't feel life and death, nothing. When I'm in that Kli, I am already in eternality. Truly. 

Question (Karmiel): (01:05:46) What's the difference between annulment and faith above reason? 

M. Laitman: Again, please. 

Student: What is the difference between annulment and faith above reason? 

M. Laitman: Annulment is just one of the actions that we need to do in order to reach faith above reason. We need to arrange the reason, and the faith, and the group, the upper light to influence us. All of that needs to be sorted in order to receive a Kli in which the part of bestowal in it will be more in importance than the part of reception in it. And then it is called a bestowing Kli, a Kli of faith above reason. 

Question (Baltia 1): (01:06:47) When you see all of the challenges that awaken within us and how much power is required from the Ten to to put every one of us on our feet, is it coming to a state where we have to show the Creator every day that we have a right to exist? 

M. Laitman: Yes, you are right. We need to examine every day how we're building a new Kli, a cardinal Kli.

Question (Rehovot): (01:07:24) When the state when a person already needs to pray, can it come from actual sorrow or...? 

M. Laitman: Yes, in prayer we attain everything. We get everything through the prayer. 

Question (Moscow 6): (01:07:52) Can you advise how to see the prayer as a commitment? 

M. Laitman: There's no question here. Every Ten needs to compose a prayer every day for the Creator, in which in this prayer, the whole, all the friends in the Ten participate. Every day. Ten minutes, however long it takes you. You each think about it, and then while you're connecting, each just says this, and this, and this, and this, so that you will see what the intentions and desires of the friends are, so you will be able to integrate in them. 

Question (Tel Aviv 3): (01:08:44) Is there a connection to above reason, or it's a leap that you can't imagine and you just need to annul yourself? 

M. Laitman: Without reason, without the ego, there's nothing to nullify yourself and to go above reason with. 

Question (PT 34): (01:09:04) Does the Ten achieve this certain level of connection and importance, and they have some states, new states of connection every day? How to maintain it, how to not lose it? 

M. Laitman: You can't keep it, and you can not fall just each time you ascend. It's not good that I'm afraid to fall. I have no thought about that, only about how to rise and rise. By that, I can protect myself. Only by that. 

Question (PT Young): (01:09:47) I wanted to ask, we are already studying quite a bit about faith above reason, and how does Rabish say here that a person needs mercy? What is that? Is the common prayer mercy, the common request? 

M. Laitman: Mercy is us wanting the Creator to operate on us and help us. That's it. Besides mercy, I don't want a thing, because I'm the will to receive, I can't help myself in any way. And so then I take my friends and we hold ourselves, like by the hands, and we all cry to Him to help us, to give us more intellect, more feeling. A few exercises to teach us how to be in faith above reason. 

Reader: Yes, we will summarize the main things we heard in the lesson now. 

Reader: We'll move to the next part of the lesson. And before that, we'll sing a song together.
