Part 2: “Hitkalelut” (Incorporation) - Selected Excerpts from the Sources

Reader: We are reading Hitkalelut incorporation, integration, mingling, inclusion. Before that I wanted to update friends why we brought a document on the topic of Hitkalelut, incorporation. Why are we studying it suddenly? We had some talks with you where we started to talk about the next Congress in February, the World Congress, where the main topic is Breaking into Spirituality.

We want to reach the world Kli and to make contact with the upper force, the Creator. And one of the conditions that we heard from you is Hitkalelut incorporation, integration and mingling. To become worthy to this Congress we have to reach this Hitkalelut, each Ten within itself and every Ten with other Tens. These growing circles of incorporation to understand it deeply we brought a collection of sources on the topic. Selected excerpts from the sources on Hitkalelut, mingling, inclusion, integration, incorporation. Baal HaSulam writes, number one.

Reading: (01:21) 1. Baal HaSulam, "The Teaching of the Kabbalah and Its Essence" - Twice. The greatest wonder about this wisdom is the integration in it: All the elements of the vast reality are incorporated in it until they come into a single thing—the Almighty, who contains them together.

M. Laitman: Meaning that incorporation is the answer to all the questions we have about corrections, changes, relations in all the parts of creation.

Reading: (02:50) 2. Baal HaSulam, “Man’s Actions and Tactics"

Afterward, all the souls in the world must unite and merge into one soul, truly one, which emerges out of all the souls and they truly become one, as in the beginning of creation, when only one man [Adam] was created, and from his Zivugim [couplings], he engendered sons, and the sons follow in his ways, making Zivugim until this world is made, with seventy nations, and from within them, the seed of Israel. At the end of correction, they will merge in one another until all of them will become one man like Adam HaRishon.

M. Laitman:  Who don't understand it?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (03:56) What is the difference between Hitkalelut, incorporation, and connection? 

M. Laitman: Connection is connection. But incorporating is a broader connection. It's a connection that can, that its reason will be not right now that the connection takes place, but supposedly for the future. And that's why we relate to all the corrections that they really need this long chain of connections, and in those connections the main thing is incorporating. Incorporating means that each one is included of everyone else, and each one is included in everyone in a way that there can't be someone that isn't included in everyone.

Student: So, connection is the first phase and incorporation comes afterwards? 

M. Laitman: Yes, incorporation is a first stage and from it and onward we start incorporating all parts of creation according to all kinds of qualities.

Student: If I have connection with a friend and I begin to incorporate with his qualities I have no connection that I can't even approach incorporation? So why do they create incorporation? Are we connected already? Have we crossed this stage? 

M. Laitman: No, you need to feel as much as before you there's a problem incorporating this issue of incorporating, and as much as it's important for you to understand it, to feel it, and to start implementing it. That's actually the highest correction that can be in creation. 

Student: What does it mean to feel the friend's quality? To begin with, I have all the qualities within me. 

M. Laitman: All of your qualities.

Student: No, of all of creation, no?

M. Laitman: No, all of creation, that's something you need to develop. 

Student: So, I have in me my qualities, which is all kinds of forces, inclinations, tendencies, and I'm lacking his qualities, his tendencies, let's put it this way.

M. Laitman: Yes, let's say so. 

Student: And then we'll be able to feel what is in each and every one? 

M. Laitman: That's what we have to get to, yes. 

Student: So, the incorporation, should it first of all be in the Ten and afterwards in the whole group? 

M. Laitman: The incorporation needs to be first in the Ten, and then through each friend in the Ten, each one of the friends, more and more, the ones that are incorporating, until you reach a state that in our incorporation we cannot feel any force but that general incorporation. I don't know how to say it. Maybe soon we'll find something.

Student: When I incorporate with someone and I feel his tendencies, his forces, I feel it as mine, or do I feel it as his and I'm incorporated in them?

M. Laitman: No, you feel that you can already understand, and feel, and even incorporate with them. 

Student: I have my qualities, my original ones. When I incorporate with someone else, do I feel his forces within me, or does it really become like one and I feel that it's mine, and I don't distinguish it anymore? 

M. Laitman: You feel it's yours. 

Student: But I feel that I got it from someone else? 

M. Laitman: You got it by him. 

Student: Through him.

M. Laitman: Through him. Yes? 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (09:18) If a person is a small world and he has everything within him, then why does he need to incorporate with others? With what? 

M. Laitman: Each and every one to begin with is incorporated from 280, and the 365, and all the parts of creation. And he must reach through his incorporation with the others a state that he makes of himself a whole reality and in that complete reality he starts discovering what he's lacking, how he needs to bestow to the others, and what the others didn't let him bestow upon them. And according to the connections he's performing he can start gathering these states, these lights that he receives through them. And that brings him a feeling of the complete world.

Student: Isn't a person created, born, incorporated with all the details in reality to begin with? 

M. Laitman: No. It's a nice question, but I can't say.

Student: I'm trying to understand if a person is carrying out, implementing what exists within him to begin with, from his root, or is there something that he receives from others that didn't exist in him before?

M. Laitman: Yes, that's a nice question, a correct question. Specifically, by being included in one another and along with that, we discover the shattering from those two states, we have the ability to connect and to see ourselves as whole. 

Student: What is the new thing that is born as a result of incorporation?

M. Laitman: As a result of incorporation, a connection is born between all parts of creation. And each and every one starts feeling his place there, their place.

Student: When two friends incorporate with one another, or when two Tens incorporate, what becomes new there? What is created there? What is created there that didn't exist before and is now being revealed? 

M. Laitman: First there was a willingness for connection, and now there's an obligation of connection.

Student: I understand that there are two distinctions: connection and incorporation. 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What does connection bring? 

M. Laitman: The connection brings an exchanging of things.

Student: And what does incorporation bring?

M. Laitman: Incorporation brings in between them a real incorporating in one another. The difference is, let's say, two parts come closer and incorporate in one another, but not that it causes each one to change according to the other. That's connection. It could be more internal, more external, but it's still connection, meaning without changing the structure. But the incorporation, it's when each one already really melts into the other.

Student: Okay, nice. So I melt in the friend, the friend melts in me. We'll lose each other's qualities. 

M. Laitman: That's a question as much, and how? 

Student: And then what is created? What is this new compound? What is it? 

M. Laitman: What's created of it? New compound, right? But what should I say? I don't know. What do you want to hear? 

Student: What is the new thing that is created as a result of incorporation with one another? 

M. Laitman: As a result of the incorporation in one another? Something new is created that wasn't there before. It wasn't revealed before. It was lost during the shattering, and now it was re-revealed, re-discovered. That each one, by his uniqueness, can bring out something of the other. That's what we reveal in the incorporation. It's difficult to say it. Difficult.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (16:37) I'll try to give a concrete example. I hope it doesn't confuse. Let's say I'm making a salad. I take a cucumber and a tomato and mix them together, and a new flavor is born. That's one thing. But I still can take the tomato and the cucumber. But if I take red and green and mix them, red and blue, it creates green, and I mix them. And there, I can't separate them anymore. So, which is more similar to incorporation? The mixing of colors or the salad?

M. Laitman: The mixture. Mixing. In the salad, everyone remains the way they were. In that mixture, each one loses his original self, and instead of him, something of both of them is revealed. How both of them incorporate, and the Upper One is in control of them.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (18:10) How does that happen in the Ten? Is each friend incorporated with one friend and then it develops into…

M. Laitman: That's how we develop. 

Student: And what do they do? They pass the strength to the rest of the friends?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And how does it come to a state where everyone's incorporated with everyone? How does it happen?

M. Laitman: Each one learns from the others, and also their desires are processed. And that's how they flow, meaning there's that mixture between them that brings them to the whole state. 

Student: And that complete state is?

M. Laitman: That everybody's included of everybody, and everyone bestows upon everybody, and each one attains everyone.

Student: And this is what is common to all?

M. Laitman: Yes, that's the common part between Creator and the creation.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (20:00) What is the condition for incorporation? What causes incorporation?

M. Laitman: The condition that causes incorporation is we have the general law of creation that needs to reach a state of wholeness. 

Student: But what makes two separate entities incorporated in each other? What causes the incorporation? Let's say two people, for example. 

M. Laitman: It's a deficiency in each one of them. 

Student: Deficiency for what?

M. Laitman: Deficiency for attainment, for feeling, for connection. A deficiency for expressing oneself. 

Student: And what is the condition for connection? What causes connection?

M. Laitman: What causes it? Is there a desire to be incorporated from the beginning of creation to the end of creation? 

Student: So, what is the difference between these two deficiencies? The one that causes incorporation and the one that causes connection. What is different between them? 

M. Laitman: There isn't such a difference because each one causes separation and connection in his limits, under his limitations. 

Student: What is an action that leads to connection, and what is an action that leads to incorporation? And are they different from one another? 

M. Laitman: Connection is more external. Incorporation is more internal. According to inner qualities that they all grasp onto someone else. And from that comes a very strong connection between them. I'd say a new connection.

Student: So, connection is a more external envelope? 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: So, connection is the initial condition? The first comes connection, then incorporation. 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And what is the addition that leads from connection, that leads to go from connection to incorporation? 

M. Laitman: That still something remains in the connection that it remains living and existing in each and every one, and not for all of them together. And even that final connection, that's where we're all incorporated, each one and everyone else.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (23:43) The father brings the white, the mother gives the red, and the Creator gives the soul. Does there have to be an addition to a connection between two bodies, an addition from above, from the Upper force so it is regarded as incorporation?

M. Laitman: Without that, there won't be a connection. 

Student: So, the association of the upper force, is it a condition for connection? 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (24:33) We were working on the weekly portion, we read something you wrote, and you said that incorporation is things that are in common, that's connection, and incorporation is also on contradictions. So it begins with connection, but it grows. Is that accurate?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (25:26) It’s written in the end of excerpt 2 that at the end of correction, they will be incorporated with each other until they all become one man, like Adam HaRishon. What is the difference between Adam HaRishon before and after the correction?

M. Laitman: Before the correction, Adam HaRishon is a broken system, disintegrated into countless pieces that does not find any connection any relation to the goal. And the system of Adam HaRishon after the correction is already one complete system whose every part knows its place and how it can connect with the rest of the parts, and through them, with their help, find its own corrected place. 

Student: We learn that in spirituality there is always something added. Something we add. What is that thing we add in this journey toward Adam HaRishon? 

M. Laitman: I did not hear the question.

Student: What is the addition that we add on our path to attain Adam HaRishon? 

M. Laitman: By finding a solution for all the broken states of Adam HaRishon. To the extent that that solution can bring them to a connection, connections, it’s many connections, then Adam HaRishon can rise and manifest before everyone as a result, as the outcome of our work. 

Student: And how does this bring us closer to the Creator?

M. Laitman: Because the Creator is complete and if we see from His operations that they are complete operations, right, in creation, then we become closer to Him, we become able to feel Him, to understand Him, to reveal Him. 

Student: Through that is love revealed? 

M. Laitman: Again.

Student: Is through this, love revealed?

M. Laitman: Revealed?

Student: Love.

M. Laitman: Love. Yes, of course. Love is the final state of all of creation. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (29:37) It’s clear what the difference between man and the Ten is. What is the difference between a Ten, and a nation? 

M. Laitman: A Ten is arranged according to the parts that we have in the upper system, and that wants to reach the upper system, to be incorporated in it according to its conditions and laws. But we don't have other connections, only the state of the shattering, which we don't accept as a state that is suitable for work. Therefore, a state that is after the breaking, we accept it as what comes to us and which we must work with and bring that state step by step to a state where it can be corrected more and more until the final correction. 

Student: I want to scrutinize, so one person enters a Ten through annulment. He annuls his desire, and he will join the general desire in the Ten, and through the incorporation the Ten becomes a nation, supposedly?

M. Laitman: No, no. Are you asking?

Student: I'm trying to scrutinize how to move from a state that a person is in connection in the Ten, and then he takes the Ten, and the Ten can enter an incorporation until together they can provide a big desire for the Creator. I'm trying to scrutinize the difference between those two entrances, to the Ten and into a nation. 

M. Laitman: It is all done, I would say, in an integral manner, meaning what? A person enters a hundred thousand, a million, a billion, it doesn't matter how many. We have a system here, and we have to bring it to correction. What exactly do we do in the system? We don't know. We only yearn to bring them to as many connections as possible according to our understanding. And when we complete the connection, we see what we have achieved. That's it. I understand Kabbalists who didn't want to tell us more about the shattering, about the incorporation, about all those things. They didn't want to complicate us. Because you can't elicit much wisdom from this. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (34:14) What needs to develop a man to be able to incorporate in the other? 

M. Laitman: To constantly learn how much, to what extent there was a shattering, and by what is there a correction of the broken pieces, connection between them? Yes. 

Student: Do I need to know how to let the friend incorporate in me?

M. Laitman: Of course. He with you, and you with him. 

Student: What does that mean? It sounds something very emotional. 

M. Laitman: It could be emotional or not. Depends how you relate to it. 

Student: What do I need to open inside of me for it to be possible? 

M. Laitman: You need to open within you that desire that can connect you with the Creator through the friend. 

Student: And this way both of us grow? Actually, that’s the result?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Women Rehovot 1): (35:57)  What's the way a person can measure that he's incorporating correctly in this Ten? What's the measurement of a person who's incorporating correctly in the Ten?

M. Laitman: To what degree of direct light does he reach? And the light dresses in him.

Question (Latin 7): (36:31)  Is incorporation felt gradually or does it suddenly appear? 

M. Laitman: Incorporation is felt in the end, at the very end of its making.

Question (PT 27): (36:53)  Why would a person want to do any action of incorporating? 

M. Laitman: Because this is the correction. That's his correction that he will do. 

Student: How to awaken that need to incorporate? How should I feel that that's salvation? 

M. Laitman: I think it's enough to think about it that you have no other action in creation that is called correction if it does not reveal or show the inner connection between all parts of creation.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (37:40) When we want to incorporate with the friends or with the others, so most of our action is annulment. 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, each one is busy in annulling his uniqueness, constantly looking up to the upper one. So, where does one find a profit from his incorporation, meaning from each one's uniqueness? 

M. Laitman: The benefit from incorporation is that we, when we annul ourselves, we allow our states, our pieces to incorporate with one another because we cancel our independence completely. And this is what gives us the possibility to attain our root, to be incorporated in it. 

Student: When incorporating in the others, do I need to emphasize his qualities? I'm trying to understand how to enrich the revelation of the upper one through incorporation. How do I use the other's uniqueness in order? 

M. Laitman: More opportunities will open up to us, changing in our incorporations so that through it we will understand, attain, feel the parts of creation. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (39:43) How does incorporation bring greatness of the Creator?

M. Laitman: There are such situations in technology, or in physics, or in chemistry that through incorporation you can see what happens inside, within the connections between the parts of creation. And this is what we receive permission to understand what happens as a result of our operations in creation, as a result of them. 

Student: So, we work on incorporation, then we discover more resolution in the actions of the Creator, and the greatness of the Creator. 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: So, how does desire to reveal the Creator allow us to incorporate? 

M. Laitman: It doesn't interrupt with creation, and the Creator can be revealed even more by that. And he spreads His wings over all parts of creation. And that's why we are not doing here anything that is dangerous or against creation. On the contrary, it is specifically in this that we have to extend our connection over all of creation. 

Student: So, what brings what, or maybe they both come together, the greatness of the Creator and incorporation. What leads to what, or are they both so connected that you have to work on both together? 

M. Laitman: The greatness of the Creator is above everything. I would say it carries with it the incorporation. Because our heart will rejoice in Him because we want to adhere to Him.

Student: So, that gives him motivation to incorporate. 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (42:41) Since you mentioned all kinds of examples in physics and chemistry. There are really examples. There's a phenomenon called emergence, that a result of two different things, they connect and something new is created. Like water, for instance, that it's a quality that doesn't exist in oxygen or in hydrogen. So, I wanted to ask if anything that's happening in humanity it's incorporating of things. Let's say like wars. In that, people also eventually incorporate in one another? 

M. Laitman: Of course.

Student: We also see in nature that a billion years, bacteria fought each other, and then an organism, a multi-cell organism was created. So, the question is, throughout all of nature, we see wars, and it's actually incorporation. On the human level, must there be a war for there to be an incorporation, or could that incorporation be created without a war? Because we see it throughout all of nature. 

M. Laitman: I don't think it's possible because the basis of each and every piece is the ego. This is why we always begin on one end and come to the other end of creation.

Student: It's clear how the wisdom of Kabbalah shows the oppositeness between the Creator and created being. So, what is the path of Torah? What does it give us if it doesn't let us go through the incorporation without wars?

M. Laitman: We use this war only in order to discover the unity between the parts. 

Student: So, we can shorten the war the way it's revealed in our world. 

M. Laitman: This is the whole of the wisdom of Kabbalah.

Student: So, the tension has to be between two parts? That's in the root of creation. But whether it's discovered through bloodshed or what, let's say if we advance more towards the path of the Torah, so we'll see smaller tensions, less violent between the parts of humanity? 

M. Laitman: No, no. It shifts from the feeling to the intellect, and then different phenomena manifest. 

Student: So, we'll be able to learn about the connection between us in a more aware way? 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: And that's revelation of the Creator at some point? 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Reader: Number three. Sorry, we are going to end the lesson.
