If after the lesson you still have questions, please go to the Q&A sections here, and our lecturers will be happy to furnish you with answers. Now also keep your phones quiet.

M. Laitman: There Is None Else Besides Him in the Ten. The Ten, in its foundation as a group, a small, varied group, needs to first do None Else Besides Him in its absorption and reception from the Creator, to connect with all the friends, and then to make sure that from its perception, the grasp of None Else Besides Him will spread all over the world. We'll read what Rabash wrote about it, mostly, and then we'll try to ask questions, and raise those questions, answer them, and see after that.

Reader: Lesson Number Four, There's None Else Besides Him in the Ten, Excerpt Number One.

Reading: (02:46) Article No. 19, 1990. Why Is the Torah Called “Middle Line” in the Work? - 2

One should believe that “there is none else besides Him,” that the Creator does everything. In other words, as Baal HaSulam said, before each action one should say that man was given only choice, since “If I am not for me, who is for me?” Thus, everything depends on one’s choice. However, after the fact, one should say that everything is private Providence, and that one does nothing on his own.

We should interpret this as the Ari writes (Talmud Eser Sefirot, Part 13, Item 152), “There is the matter of Se’arot [hairs], which cover the light, so they do not enjoy the light as long as they are unworthy, since they might blemish.” The thing is that we must believe that the Creator gave us a desire and yearning to do good deeds. And as long as one is unworthy, he must not feel that the Creator compels him to do good deeds. This is why the Creator hides Himself in dresses, and this dressing is called Lo Lishma [not for Her sake]. In other words, sometimes the Creator hides Himself in a clothing of friends.

For example, there is a situation where a person does not want to get up and learn before dawn. So the Creator hides Himself in a dressing of friends and he gets out of bed, even though he is tired, since a thought came to his mind that it is not nice to the friends that they all come to learn, and he is not, since then everyone will look at his lowliness. Hence, he gets up and goes to the seminary and learns. It follows that he does not have the energy to get out of bed because of the commandment of the Creator, so the Creator does not force him to go to the seminary, since if this were the reason, he would be lying in bed. But the friends do obligate him.

And similar to this example are all other things when a person acts Lo Lishma. Although there are many degrees in Lo Lishma, we will speak of this example. Here we should look at the person who is going to learn and to observe Mitzvot [commandments/good deeds] not because the Creator commits him. In other words, if it were because of the commandment of the Creator, he would not have the strength to overcome the body and to compel it to do good deeds. However, because of people, he does have the strength to do good deeds. Thus we see what importance there can be in the Lo Lishma.

Yet, one must believe as was said above, that “there is none else besides Him,” meaning that it is the Creator who compels him to do the good deeds, but since he is still unworthy of knowing that it is the Creator who commits him, the Creator dresses Himself in dresses of flesh and blood, through which the Creator performs these actions. Thus, the Creator acts in the form of Achoraim [posterior].

In other words, the person sees people’s faces but he should believe that behind the faces stands the Creator and performs these actions. That is, behind the man stands the Creator and compels him to do the deeds that the Creator wants. It follows that the Creator does everything, but the person regards what he sees and not what he should believe. For this reason, a person says that he is doing the deeds Lo Lishma, as with the example of the friends who commit him.

Also, it does not have to be friends. Rather, everyone has his own external clothing, which suits him. Hence, when, for instance, one comes to the synagogue because the friends committed him to come, he says, “The Creator was the reason that he went to learn, but the Creator only dressed in a clothing of friends.” Thus, now he thanks the Creator for being the reason.

It follows that when a person did the deed Lo Lishma, when the Creator was not the reason that compelled him to perform the Mitzva [singular of Mitzvot], but he acted because, for instance, the friends ordered him and he had to obey, one must believe that he did this because the Creator commanded him to observe the Mitzva, and he had to obey what the Creator commanded him to do. However, the Creator hid Himself in a clothing of Lo Lishma, such as the friends, so that through this clothing he would think that he must obey the voice of Lo Lishma.

But in truth, one must believe that it was all the Creator’s doing. Thus, after he performs the Mitzva, he should say that it was the Creator who acted behind the clothing of Lo Lishma. It follows that then one should thank the Creator for giving him the desire to observe His commandments through this clothing.

With the above said we can understand the great importance of Lo Lishma. That is, it is not as one thinks—that he does everything for the Lo Lishma. Rather, he is doing everything because the Creator commanded him, except he was still not rewarded with feeling that the Creator is actually the commander. For this reason, a person thinks that the Lo Lishma is the commander, and hence the act is not so important in his eyes.

However, if he believes that “there is none else besides Him,” as was written in previous articles in this portion, then in truth, he is observing the commandments of the Creator, and he should appreciate his actions in Lo Lishma. And one’s imagination that he is only observing an act in Lo Lishma is only because he was not rewarded yet with feeling that he is observing the King’s commandment and that he is serving the King.

Hence, if he believes that the Lo Lishma is truly the Creator committing him to engage in Torah and Mitzvot, then he can give thanks to the Creator for dressing in a clothing of Lo Lishma. And from this, one can come to appreciate the importance of Torah and Mitzvot even Lo Lishma. Our sages said about this: “And they collect from a person knowingly,” meaning Lishma, and “Unknowingly,” meaning Lo Lishma.

This is the meaning of what is written, that the Se’arot [hairs], meaning the Lo Lishma, cover the light, so they will not be fed by the light as long as they are unfit for it. In other words, the Se’arot are a clothing, and under that clothing, the light stands and shines. But in the meantime, the light is covered.

M. Laitman: That's what Rabash wrote. Questions?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (14:54) First of all, thank you for leading us on this path. The question is, how to stop thinking that I can hold on to There Is None Else Besides Him by myself? How to see that everything depends on the Ten, how to do that?

M. Laitman: That's correct. Whoever is not in a Ten and tries to nevertheless hold on to None Else Besides Him, and constantly be connected to this, feels that it is impossible. But only under the condition that there are at least Ten, and they want to support one another. Then it turns out that around a person there's the Ten, Ten friends. Ten friends, whereas each thinks how he will support each friend in the Ten. So it turns out that the Ten becomes a complete Kli. And from the Tens, from our Tens, we can make more Tens, and more Tens, and another Ten. And that's how it is in spirituality, each time we want to connect, we build a new society, we build a new Ten. That's why we need to use this to be connected in the Ten, to be concerned with each member of the Ten, so that they will have a place in connection, a closeness. Because everyone will understand that only out of the connection, the inner connection between them, they can raise this connection towards the Creator; and the Creator feels one that does so. At which point, He gives the Ten His help, and they rise in the degrees of sanctity and connect to the Creator. That is what is written, and There Is None Else Besides Him, on behalf of the Rabash.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (18:28) You just spoke about rising with the Ten, so my question is, how to discover the Creator's help in the Ten in order to rise from degree to degree?

M. Laitman: We need to do that which is upon us, that we need to connect, we need to incorporate with the Creator into the group, and be concerned with, seek, ask for the Creator to care for us. To be revealed to us, as None Else Besides Him, as He is the Good That Does Good. And this way, by our actions in connection, and an appeal to the Creator with this request, we can come to a state in which the Creator will be revealed to each and every one, and to our entire Ten together. And this way we can come to spiritual ascents.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (20:12) If no one is for me, if I'm not for me, who will be for me? Is that the building of bestowal through acting with the friends in the Ten?

M. Laitman: No, I can help, not my friends, not my Ten, but to all the people that are in the same purpose, the same goal, in nearing the Creator. But that's it.

Student: There's, if not for myself, then who, and There Is None Else Besides Him. Is there something special about, if not for myself, is it something that we work on our desires and actions, where a person needs to increase from within him. So that later, he will say, well, it's clear that the Creator makes the Kli and the work. But that's the work of the created being, to increase or inTensify his vessel? Rav, is this our work?

M. Laitman: I think so, specifically, the fact that we operate in connecting between us, and want to see these things as they are revealed in practice. That's from this that we attain the Creator.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (22:14) I heard the definition, unworthy. What does it mean that we're unworthy and when will we know that we are worthy?

M. Laitman: As long as we want to use our egoistic forces, we're unworthy. We don't have any equivalence of form with the spiritual vessels. If we want to attain the upper light, we need to build for it the vessel, the Kli; whereas, this Kli is to receive in order to bestow, and we will then receive.

Student: And how will we know that we are worthy?

M. Laitman: According to the answers one receives from the Creator?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (23:28) How can we deal with the connection with the Creator when there are these contradictions within the Ten? How do we reach one desire with love for the Creator in the Ten?

M. Laitman: All our work is to connect in the Tens, for the time being. And from Tens, connect onwards, to Tens of Tens. Eventually, when we get there ,as high as possible, we will do and will make the ten in the form of the pyramid, yes? And in this way we will get closer to the revelation of the Creator towards us. That’s it.

Question (North America): (25:08) We just want to say we're so honored to be here, we're over 200 friends strong from all over the country, so we can be here and connect with the Congress that There Is None Else Besides Him! We'd also like to say thank you to the friend, who we hear translating, and without whom this would not have been possible, we love you! Recently I heard you express something concerning the most important thing that we lack and you answered a concise well-scrutinized intention. Could you give us some information on how to build that concise, well-scrutinized intention?

M. Laitman: When we come to the Bnei Baruch group, to the study of the wisdom Kabbalah, almost from the very beginning when we enter the study, we’re explained what There Is None Else Besides Him is. That the Creator is One, Unique, and Unified, and that He created us and arranged everything for us and established this connection between us in order for us to reveal the connection between us. And from this connection between us, we can also attain the source of the connection, the Creator; that is what we do. It’s not simple, it appears to be a very simple sentence, but no. Hence we will have to come to more convinnings and gatherings and Tens and exercises. And eventually we will reach the goal in which we reveal the Creator just like each reveals the friend besides him.

Question (Qazaqstan): (28:35) It's written in the article that the Creator gives us the will, the desire, to perform good deeds. Now the question: What good deeds can I truly perform towards my friends in the Ten? And what does the wisdom of Kabbalah mean when it says good deeds, what makes them good?

M. Laitman: Good deeds are acts of connection, there's no more than that. From the very beginning, we are born with our quality of reception, which spoils and destroys the connection between us. And the more we come to the revealing of our connection between us, we see that we are not capable of participating in this. Until the Creator begins to connect between us, and then we feel that it is Him that's doing it, and that it doesn't depend on us whatsoever. That's it.

M. Laitman: What did he ask?

Reader: What are the deeds, the acts that Kabbalah speaks about?

Question (Qazaqstan): (30:56) When the Creator challenges us, pressures us, I look straight away at how the friends respond. My question is, why doesn't the Creator give all the friends a strong desire and the ability to make good efforts?

M. Laitman: The Creator operates from the point of connection between us as we are all in a connection and from that point of connection He operates upon us. And we, from this, long to rise and come to that point of connection according to the principle, There Is None Else Besides Him, that's it.

Question (Hungary): (32:56) There Is None Else Besides Him in the Ten. The Creator speaks through each of the friends. But what can we do if one of the friends doesn't come to the lessons, she's not living the life of the Ten? It concerns us, and we want her to leave the Ten, and there's this inequality in our situation. And there are some friends who protect her, and that's also the Creator's expression, so we have these opposing views. So which expression of the Creator's should we listen to in this situation?

M. Laitman: Put the condition that she has to come each time, put that for her. That's basically it.

Student: And if she doesn't meet the condition, then she leaves?

M. Laitman: Clearly. She nevertheless won't attain anything anyway if she doesn't come. It's like she's removed herself from the collective, anyway.

Student: Do inactive members harm the Ten?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes, I answered already.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (34:39) You said that our work is to connect in the Tens, and from our Ten to connect to Tens of Tens, like a pyramid shape. Can you explain that formation?

M. Laitman: We don't need to know that, what we need to know is that we are working and standing to establish our connection in the form of a pyramid.

Student: So, what's important for us right now?

M. Laitman: It's important for us to know that each has Ten friends, and he must be connected with them.

Student: And, what goes on between Tens and how a bigger form is made from them?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (35:45) When does a person discover for the first time that There Is None Else Besides Him, that He gave us the power to keep, if I'm not for me, who will be for me?

M. Laitman: When he performs acts of connection inside his Ten. And when he gives it sufficient forces, then from connecting with them, he begins to see his real Ten.

Student: If we exerted and after the exertion we got better connection, if we exerted, made an effort, and after the effort we became better connected, should I say after the fact, that even without the exertion, the connection would have increased because There Is None Else Besides Him?

M. Laitman: You can't say it that way, you can't.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (37:20) When I come across, and we had an argument in the Ten about this, when we come across something very unpleasant to receive in our daily lives, we automatically try to see what kind of lesson I'm learning here. So I wanted to ask you, is it called a correction if it's done outside of the Ten?

M. Laitman: Yes, everything is corrections.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (38:03) The choice is to attribute everything to the Creator. Does it depend on the importance and greatness of the friends in the Ten?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (38:38) In order to, or rather, reaching true gratitude for the concealment, is that a condition to reach the Creator, There Is None Else Besides Him?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: I remember there being states where I felt, oh, so grateful for the concealment, because otherwise I would have tried exploiting the state for my own benefit. But I don't know what I did, there's this kind of recognition, this gratitude in the concealment. The feeling that it's a gift, this complete lack of sensation, but it disappears. What does it mean that it vanishes, that it's unstable?

M. Laitman: Because you can't yet be in a stable connection with the goal that's before you.

Student: Okay, and what needs to happen for it to be stable? For this gratitude to be set in the heart?

M. Laitman: You need to open your heart towards the Creator, and try for the desires in the heart to be such that they will be suitable to the Creator.

Student: For the first time today, I heard that there's a connection between concealment and the Ten, I never heard that before. So, what's the connection? How is the Ten related to everything you said there?

M. Laitman: You will start to work a little with the articles of Rabash, and from there, you will receive answers.

Reader: Yes. Shall we continue to Excerpt Number Two?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Part 2: Excerpt 2. Maor VaShemesh, VaYechi

Reading: (40:37) 2. Maor VaShemesh, VaYechi

The essence of the assembly is for everyone to be in one unity and for all to seek but one purpose: to find the Creator. In every Ten there is the Shechina [Divinity]. Clearly, if there are more than Ten then there is more revelation of the Shechina. Thus, each one should assemble with his friend and come to him to hear from him a word about the work of the Creator, and how to find the Creator. He should annul before his friend, and his friend should do the same toward him, and so should everyone do. Then, when the assembly is with this intention, then “More than the calf wants to suckle, the cow wants to nurse,” and the Creator approaches them and He is with them, and great mercies and good and revealed kindness will be extended over the assembly of Israel.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (42:24) How to make it so that in the Ten, in our connection, everyone is in one unity?

M. Laitman: I didn't hear.

Student: How to determine, when we hold a workshop, let's say in the Ten, that we're united in one unity? How to determine that? How do we determine in the Ten if we're united?

M. Laitman: We feel like we're aimed towards one goal, with all our forces, in reading from one source. And this way, in advancing we, necessarily, come close.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (43:53) How to annul myself correctly before a friend in my Ten, as I do before the Creator?

M. Laitman: That, of course, is not simple. And, in essence, this is where we have to come through.

Student: And a follow-up question: So, do I need to accept the friend's opinion above my own?

M. Laitman: No, you see, the friend, you need to accept the friend like that state that you, too, want to reach, yourself.

Student: And this will be annulment?

M. Laitman: You will see.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (44:55) Alone, without a group, without a Ten, we all understand that it's impossible, we'll just fall from bad to worse. And without the friends, the Ten, Bnei Baruch, Rav, the Kabbalists, where would we be today? Personally, I've been privileged with feeling that, specifically, in the worst states the Creator sent me, there I can ask and pray for correction. And from there, gain the desire to perform good deeds. Now, if I've been rewarded and the Creator helped me rise at least a little bit, can I help extend it to others?

M. Laitman: No, that's not enough yet, you need to continue and reach a connection with the Creator upon all those challenges and disturbances that the Creator sends you. At which point you will be able to also incorporate with the friends in the group. Alright?

Reader: There is a question from Poland!

Question (Poland): (46:30) The correction that I see in the friend, is that a reflection of something that I lack?

M. Laitman: No, that's what the Ten is missing. That is what we see as a demand for connection. It's a question that stands before us.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (47:57) There's this feeling that each one of us has a private channel to the Creator.

M. Laitman: Yes?

Student: My question is in my work, do I need to study the friends' channels to the Creator, and add something to that?

M. Laitman: It's not a matter of how, you have to disconnect yourself from that thought, that's it.

Student: So, not to follow the friends, there?

M. Laitman: Don't go anywhere, be yourself, and on that level, try to be with the whole Ten.

Question (Kyiv): (48:57) In order to discover Divinity, is it right to see the friend as greater and at the same time, as an equal?

M. Laitman: What did she ask?

Reader: How to connect between – well, on the one hand, I need to see the friend as greater than myself – and on the other hand, as an equal. So, how to connect together these two ways in which I have to relate to the friend?

M. Laitman: Each needs to accept all the friends besides himself as being in a higher degree than himself. And it is then, after many efforts and actions, Then he will see that the Creator is arranging it for him that way. To be connected and on the same level with his friends. Same degree.

Question (Santiago): (50:38) We are over 80 friends here from Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, as well. And we all speak the same language, and my question is, how can we incorporate with other Tens, if each Ten is a world unto itself?

M. Laitman: That is not your work, that the Creator does, He raises and lowers in all the Tens – once this one, once that one – one in relation to the other. He has many more details about all and each of the groups, and he connects them according to the concrete manner in which he guides it. Therefore, you don't need to pay attention to what form and where and how we are, more or less, to some extent. And to ask – you must ask!

Question (Santiago): (52:45) Despite we are many Ten together, there are Tens here where it is the first time that we are all together, meeting physically for the first time. So what are we lacking?

M. Laitman: Connection, connection, a connection. A MAN, nothing more than that.

Question (Hungary): (53:29) We gather here in Hungary, a cry for connection in Europe. I feel the pain of a lack of connection, and it leaves me with many tears. You talk about annulment. How can we take advantage here in Europe to play with one heart for the Creator, to feel the pain of this connection that keeps us away from the light? And how can those in Israel help us in Europe to feel the pain of the nation in Europe to cry for the Creator to help us to unite? Please, I don't want us to leave Hungary as we came. We need to unite in Europe. Please help us. We need your help.

M. Laitman: More or less, the questions are understood, and the answers, yes. And you should receive from the materials that we're sending today.

Question (Hungary): (55:52) In the Ten, if there's a friend who is falling, we tell herThere Is None Else Besides Him. The Creator sent her that state. So, how can we help that friend deal with her situation? Or should we just help her see that it's the Creator sending this to her so she advances and accepts the situation as it is?

M. Laitman: If you see someone who's not coming close, maybe even retrieving, then all the friends must support him, help him, and not let go of him. And maybe help him not fall from the group.

M. Laitman: More?

Part 2: Excerpt 3. Rabash. Article No. 13, 1986. Come Unto Pharaoh 2

Reading: (56:49) Article No. 13, 1986. Come Unto Pharaoh - 2

We should know that we were given love of friends to learn how to avoid blemishing the King’s honor. In other words, unless he has no other desire except to give contentment to the King, he will certainly blemish the King’s honor, which is called “Passing on Kedusha [holiness/sanctity] to the external ones.” For this reason, we mustn’t underestimate the importance of the work in love of friends, for by that he will learn how to exit self-love and enter the path of love of others. And when he completes the work of love of friends, he will be able to be rewarded with love of the Creator.

M. Laitman: Meaning, love of friends is before the love of the Creator. And only through the extent in which we realize between us the love of friends, to the same extent we can say that we are in a certain form of relation towards the Creator.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (58:46) We, in our Ten, we build connections between the friends. But we feel that it's not deep, that it's too shallow, how to strengthen our work?

M. Laitman: That, you need to talk between you, amongst you; it is worthwhile for you to connect also to the Bnei Baruch center, the nucleus that is here, and ask them what to do, when to do, how to do, and that's it. That's not a question for now, that we can take care of and handle.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:00:00) When we meet friends from the world Kli, it gives us a lot of inspiration, energy, evokes feelings of love, connection, the greatness of the Creator, which were never felt in any other Congress. How to bring all that to my Ten who stayed in Israel, and for this to remain eternal and never pass?

M. Laitman: Ask that way, ask that way.

Student: Now, if I may continue: Each one of us here, and all over the world, this is just an example of a great friend who traveled abroad. But all of us in Congresses, we want to convey this impression, this inspiration to everyone, so that we all feel as one. How can we do that?

M. Laitman: Think.

Student: It was written in the previous excerpt, that each one should go to his friend and ask to see the how of it. Of how to attain the Creator – I don't have the text before me right now, excuse me – how to join with his friend's heart, how to join that way, what to do, exactly.

M. Laitman: He needs to come close himself.

Student: And how is the Creator revealed? What is that act of seeking to join with the heart of the friend?

M. Laitman: I want to connect to a friend, to his heart, to the source, or the place where he feels everyone. And I want to enter there, awaken him towards love, towards me.

Student: Love towards me, the friend?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes. What do we have next?

Reader: Perhaps we can sing a song, to just wake up a little.

M. Laitman: What do you say? A song, please!

Song: (01:02:35)

Part 2: Excerpt 5. Rabash. Article No. 15, 1989. What Is, 'The Righteous Become Apparent through the Wicked' in the Work?

Reader: Five Excerpt Number Five. This is from Rabash, Article 15.

Reading: (01:05:39) Article No. 15, 1989. What Is, 'The Righteous Become Apparent through the Wicked' in the Work? If their intention is to bring contentment to the Creator, then if they want to increase the work, they must increase the greatness of the Creator, since to the extent of His greatness, to that extent they can annul before Him and do everything they do only for the sake of the Creator. It is as The Zohar says about the verse, “Her husband is known at the gates,” each according to “what he assumes in his heart.”

Therefore, in order to have fuel to work, those who want to work for the sake of the Creator must try each day to exert to obtain faith in the greatness of the Creator, since the greatness of the Creator is what compels them to work for Him, and this is all the pleasure they derive from their work.

M. Laitman: Questions about what we just read?

Question (China): (01:08:38) First of all, I want to share the good news – we have 23 Chinese friends watching the lesson in the Zoom, now! L’chaim! And my question is, how does There Is None Else Besides Him help us rise above our ego and to give to the friends?

M. Laitman: It's in his force, He simply adds for us the quality of bestowal, by which we come closer to one another. And it's from that that we understand all our problems better and come closer to a solution.

Question (Woman Turkiye): (01:09:56) Do I need to love my friends because I see that the Creator is standing behind them? Or because I understand that the Creator created them as they are and that's why I accept them as they are?

M. Laitman: I didn't understand?

Reader: Do I need to love my friends because the Creator stands behind them? Or because I understand that this is how the Creator created them and I need to love them as such?

M. Laitman: We are in the study of the wisdom of Kabbalah, and we want to implement, realize, all the study in the relations between us, between the friends, towards the Creator and to advance this way. Therefore, we need to only come closer to the friends.

Question (North America): (01:11:23) How do we transition between face-to-face interactions to a connection between the hearts, so we are not working from our own power?

M. Laitman: How to move the connection between the bodies and the hearts? We need to try, more and more, to understand one another, feel one another. And this is how we will begin to see where, precisely, we connect and where exactly we work.

Question (Santiago): (01:12:41) I would like to say that you bring gratitude to the hearts of each member of the world Kli. Your holy memory is a blessing to the whole of humanity! My question is, how is it that in the Ten we need to attain equivalence of form, while attaining a holy soul is a gift from the heavens?

Reader: How is it that we need to attain equivalence of form in the Ten, while at the same time, the attainment of a holy soul is a gift from the heavens? So, how do we need to bridge those two?

M. Laitman: Whatever we receive, we receive as long as we come closer to the friends. And the more connected we will be with them, closer to them, then we will be able to feel the relations between us; and in the expression between us, we will feel the Creator.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:14:28) In the excerpt, he explains to us that in order to bring contentment to the Creator, we need to elevate the Creator's importance between us in the Ten. How does it work exactly because each one assumes in his heart the greatness of the Creator – sometimes it's more, sometimes less. How does the mechanism of the Ten operate such that we keep increasing it?

M. Laitman: You feel, and you'll see it that way; we can explain more about the spiritual states. And after you feel it, you'll understand.

Student: There's this general inspiration in the Ten, sometimes when we understand that something greater than ourselves is at work, the Creator, There Is None Else Besides Him, and so on. There's great joy with everything that's happening to us, but how do we raise this issue of the greatness of the Creator by our own initiative, in a conscious and aware manner? How?

M. Laitman: Relate to the matter of revealing the Creator in the way you relate to, let's say, your manager at work, or someone great. And from that you'll understand what you need to develop in you, what qualities, feelings, and you'll come close that way.

Student: And this excitement just flows through the Ten? And it elevates my friends?

M. Laitman: Yes, talk to the friends that this is how we have to relate.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:17:04) The first topic of the Congress, that was There Is None Else Besides Him, and now we're talking about There Is None Else Besides Him in the Ten. So, I wanted to ask what's the difference in terms of the revelation of There Is None Else Besides Him, whether personally, if there is such a thing? Or if it's in the Ten.

M. Laitman: We don't talk about There Is None Else Besides Him in an individual way because it's unrealistic. And what we can do is to learn There Is None Else Besides Him towards the group, towards the Ten, that's it.

Student: Can I ask a little follow-up question?

M. Laitman: Well, let's say.

Student: In the unpleasant states we go through personally or in the Ten, I feel that there's a process of correction at work. But do I have to understand it cerebrally, or is it the natural development of a, like a child or a baby?

M. Laitman: It's advancement.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:18:56) How can we add to the greatness of the Creator, right now, in the whole of the world Kli.

M. Laitman: You can attain the Creator can be only done by talking to the Creator, and the extent to which he is great. We, if from studying how to be connected between us, we learn from that how to be connected and directed towards the Creator.

Student: What do we add through our connection, how do we add more, more of the greatness of the Creator? How do we imbue our connection with that?

M. Laitman: We examine ourselves and discover between us the places of coarseness – which is greatest, greater – and we begin to work on those places, yes, and to fill them, those places, in a manner of connection, love, at least, in the points of adhesion.

Reader: We're approaching the end of Lesson Number Four. The Congress would like to hear from you how you summarize our second day of the Convention.

M. Laitman: Yes, we still have tomorrow remaining, yes?

Reader: Yes, tomorrow we have two more lessons.

M. Laitman: Two more lessons. I really hope that we will finish them right and good, and what do I think? I think that altogether it is worthwhile for each, during the break before the lesson – the big break – but in the break before the lesson, to read the excerpts from the lesson. You have it, right?

Reader: Yes, everyone has access to the text.

M. Laitman: And that way we will be able to do it in a more real manner.

Reader: So, thank you very much to Rav Laitman. And we now will summarize the lesson in the Ten, in a workshop.
