Part 2: Preparation to Convention - Connecting to There Is None Else Besides Him

Lesson 2, #3. Baal HaSulam, Letter No. 55.

Reader: We are in the lesson of the preparation for the congress Connecting to There Is None Else Besides Him. We will read from the study materials of lesson number 2, To Believe That the Creator is Good who does Good, we will continue from the excerpt number 3. We are reading from Baal HaSulam, letter number 55, item 3 from the lesson 2 from the congress materials.

Reading: (00:39) 3. Baal HaSulam, Letter No. 55

“Righteous.” It refers to a person who is in the world of the Creator, yet always receives good and pleasant sensations, and is in constant pleasure. For this reason, he always blesses the Creator, Who created him in order to furnish him with such a good and delightful world. He, too, certainly does not need to explicitly utter the words, for the feelings themselves are the blessings that he blesses the Creator, […] This is why he is called “righteous” [also “just”], for he justifies creation and feels it as it truly is.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:50) How does a righteous person appreciate what he sees in reality? According to what does a righteous person appreciate ways, values reality?

M. Laitman: I think that it's according to his feeling. He has no other vessels.

Student: But when a person looks at reality, he sees that it's full of suffering. People are suffering around him. Maybe, he himself is suffering as well. So, how does it work? How can he suddenly begin to justify creation? Does he ignore the suffering? How does it work?

M. Laitman: Might be.

Student: What is the calculation of the righteous? He doesn't make any calculation about his suffering or the suffering around him, otherwise he wouldn't see it, he wouldn't be righteous.

M. Laitman: On the attitude of the Creator to the created beings. And from that he comes to a decision that the Creator Is Good That Does Good to everyone. Certainly, in order to judge, he needs to see from one end of the world to the other. And then he reaches such a decision.

Student: So, before a person can see from one end of the world to the other?

M. Laitman: Before that he works, he is in work.

Student: So, what is his work then? Before you can see the world from one end to the other and you see the creation is perfect, what is his work then?

M. Laitman: Could be that he has relationship with the Creator, relation to Good That Does Good. Because that is how he feels, and he has nothing else to do, but only to determine from his feeling.

Student: What is the correction for a person who doesn't feel The Good Who Does Good, right now? He wants to be righteous, he wants to be in the environment, in the group. What should he do? Take another step in the direction of The Good Who Does Good?

M. Laitman: The person lives according to those same thoughts that the Creator sends him, and therefore he needs to think that everything he feels, decides - it all comes from the Creator, that the Creator is the first, and He is the source of everything that the person thinks and feels.

Student: That's mitigation for a person, the minute the person feels it, it is to feel that whatever comes to me, good or bad, this thought comes from the Creator, that already sweetens it for a person, it gives him the strength to do it?

M. Laitman: Yes. The Creator holds all the questions and answers, it is considered that He is the source of everything, and the person only needs to decide through what actions he needs to agree with that, on the reality of the Creator.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (08:26) We often read an article by Rabash about love of others, where I look at the collective and I see the suffering of the collective, and the suffering of the individual, like war, besides prayer there is nothing to give. So, in that state that Rabash describes, he sees a world full of suffering, yes or no?

M. Laitman: I didn't understand the question.

Student: Rabash, seemingly, describes a state where he, a Kabbalist, is looking at the world and he sees suffering, the suffering of the collective, the suffering of the individual, and he prays for it.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, in that state, does he justify the Creator or not?

M. Laitman: He doesn't write about that, but really, the Kabbalists who recognize the Creator and who acknowledge His actions tell us that He is Good Who Does Good. And we need to agree with that and accordingly to reveal.

Student: They say as if there is no suffering in the world or in spite of the suffering they feel in the world.

M. Laitman: Everyone feels what the Creator wants them to feel. And all the rest already comes from the person's sensation.

Student: Rabash says, aside from prayer there's nothing to give, so what is the prayer for?

M. Laitman: That each and every person will try to see themselves as they are in the revealed world. And accordingly, they will determine.

Student: So, the prayer is for the created beings to come to see reality the way the Creator wants them to see it?

M. Laitman: You can put it that way, yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (11:36) Rav, what does it mean to bless the Creator?

M. Laitman: To bless the Creator? This is called that a man reveals the relationship of the Creator towards created beings, sees that all of it is for the good of created beings, and for that he blesses Him.

Student: He says in the excerpt that the righteous blesses the Creator with a feeling. Before I read this excerpt I thought that to bless the Creator means to say certain words, and to explain the gratitude, and all that. How to bless Him with our feeling?

M. Laitman: Depict to yourself that you are in the center of creation, and from the Creator you feel how each time influences that are good come to you. Then you naturally bless the Creator who sends you such feelings and relationships, and accordingly, you progress.

Student: He also wrote that the righteous doesn't require words in order to do things, in order to bless, only that he receives the pleasure and he enjoys it. But relative to the friends, how to share the feeling of blessing the Creator? We can use words and give the greatness of the Creator, but even above the greatness of the Creator, the feeling from His greatness.

M. Laitman: Yes, above all, a person needs to do a calculation - what he'll get from the Creator, what the Creator wants a person to feel, to attain, and according to that, he can give a response.

Student: How to share with the friends the result of this calculation?

M. Laitman: We'll all learn about that, it's not simple, because every thought, every certain relation you have to creation, when you reveal it, by this you're already affecting the others. We'll see. We'll see how to do it.

Question (Merkaz 1): (16:15) What kind of revelation should one have in order to justify the Creator and feel constant pleasure?

M. Laitman: First of all, a person needs to try and reach the feeling of truth - that what he receives, he receives from the Creator, His actions on the created beings. From that, he can judge what's happening in reality.

Question (Women Petah Tikva 8): (17:13) What is the connection between one's relation to the Creator and how he feels?

M. Laitman: A person needs to straighten his relations he has with the Creator. According to that, advance.

Question (W MAK 43): (17:58) Where is the point where the Creator gives me the opportunity to become his partner?

M. Laitman: Every moment when a person checks and feels himself that he's in contact with the Creator, so in every moment, he feels the nature of the Creator, that He's The Good That Does Good. And here it depends on a person's attitude towards the Creator, as much as he feels the Creator is The Good that does good to all, and He made created beings in order to do good to them. And the rest that he can say about the feeling of the created beings inside him, all people, he understands that here…That's enough for today.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (20:36) In what exactly does one justify the Creator?

M. Laitman: In what he feels in his vessels.

Student: What is opposite from the justification, one opposite the other?

M. Laitman: He blames Him.

Student: To be righteous, a person has to feel the suffering of himself, of humanity. What does he feel in order to justify the Creator?

M. Laitman: That he justifies the Creator in everything, in everything.

Student: But opposite that, he feels blaming, he feels suffering, torments in the world, so my question is, does he simultaneously feel the suffering of himself and of humanity, and at the same time justifies? Are they two feelings that exist simultaneously?

M. Laitman: The question is, when we're in our life, in our world, do we feel our feelings as true, or is it still like little children - that even though they feel, they don't understand as much as it could be false.

Student: What is the truth?

M. Laitman: The truth, we will only know the truth in the end.

Student: I'm trying to understand. The righteous, a person, does he feel the suffering, the torment, and justifies the Creator within the same vessel?

M. Laitman: Yes, it could be. That in feeling the Creator as Good as Doing Good, he also feels the Creator's attitude back towards him and then, he doesn't have a choice but to determine, in a different way, his attitude back towards the Creator.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (24:52) What is the calculation I should do with my own feeling all the time? You said we have to make a calculation with respect to the Creator, what we are receiving. What is the calculation I have to constantly do with my feeling that I'm getting from the Creator?

M. Laitman: First of all, everything you feel you feel what comes from the Creator. And there's no one in between, in the middle, that changes or exchanges or ruins that relation from the Creator towards man, and man towards the Creator.

Student: The Creator gives me all the feelings, all the thoughts. What should I do in my thoughts, all the time, to justify the Creator? What is the calculation of constantly calculating that the Creator is Good That Does Good? Because in my feelings, I don't always feel it. So, what does it mean? What is the calculation I have to constantly do? Because he says that the thought brings the blessing to the Creator.

M. Laitman: I think that the Creator is expecting of us that we'll organize ourselves with our face towards Him. Then we'll be able to feel His face towards us as The Good That Does Good. That's it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (27:56) How do we position ourselves with our faces towards the Creator?

M. Laitman: When we try to accept His relation towards us in a direct manner. And the opposite is the opposite.

Student: When we come in contact with the Creator, the relation towards all creations, does it become revoked and we relate only to the Creator every moment?

M. Laitman: No.The creative beings here, in between, in the middle between man and the Creator, a person needs to organize his relation towards them in a way …

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (30:01) Who do we blame because all my vessels are not corrected, if not the Creator?

M. Laitman: Why do you need to blame anyone?

Student: I received one nature, but I want something else. Who gave me this nature? Certainly, the suffering is only a preparation to receive the pleasure, but before I'm corrected, I'm not corrected. I want to relate to all the created beings, like The Good Who Does Good, until I come to this, who do I blame?

M. Laitman: If we won't go on this line, that we need to find the guilty one, but …

Student: For most of the day I am cursing the created beings. Everything I am receiving is a bad attitude toward the created beings, over and over again during the day, I want to bless, but my vessels don't allow me to. Who do I turn to? The source of my curse is the Creator.

M. Laitman: Fine, correct.

Student: Asking for something else, is it not the same as blaming, accusing?

M. Laitman: You need to continue the scrutiny, who is ruining your life, and in this way you'll reach a solution.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (34:10) All the thoughts and feelings come to us from the Upper One, from the Creator, through the society. So, only through the society can I have additions in the thoughts and feelings I get from above, changes.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, what is the main thing in the society that we're lacking right now, so that each one will feel more thoughts and feelings from the Upper One? And what's the main thing, the main importance that should be in the society now? Because all the changes will happen only from within the society. What are we lacking right now in the society, so that there will be something on our part that will make a change in everything that is coming from above?

M. Laitman: Ask your friends, they're right before you.

Student: How can we, together, become more similar to each other, so we can feel changes from above in our feelings and thoughts, which we receive from the Creator? But, on our part how do we become more similar to each other especially now that we have a destination, we have the Congress, that's our goal.

M. Laitman: You said it nicely. In the Convention, we can really unite, connect, to straighten all of our intentions. And this way we can reach a general decision. So, we need already now to unite all of our relations, intentions, prayers from every person towards his friends, and from all the friends, to the Creator.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (37:26) When we are in our environment, our society, in our connection, it's easier to be in a deeper connection. What guards us when we are in an environment where everyone constantly accuses, blames one another, condemns one another, fights? It's like a jungle. How do we attribute that to the Creator and justify?

M. Laitman: It really is a jungle. Well, so.

Student: How to guard ourselves in an external environment so we remain connected to that One Force?

M. Laitman: That's one form that a person will feel only in his environment that's close to him. And then from that he'll determine his true state.

Student: How do we tie this anchor so it doesn't disconnect when we are in an environment that is the exact opposite?

M. Laitman: To be connected to the environment and search for ways to adhere to it. And how to cleanse himself from disturbances.

Student: In terms of actions, I think we're doing the maximum we can. We have the morning lesson, we have the noon lesson, we have the Ten meetings, we have assembly of friends. But, internally how do we connect a connection that does not disconnect even when we are in an environment where everyone only fights and blames and accuses one another? And it's obvious that it's coming from the Creator, but a person is placed in that environment. So, what can he do?

M. Laitman: He needs to justify the environment. That as much as it works on him, it is all measured by the Creator and directed towards that person in a way that there’s no better state for a person than to ascribe himself to the Creator.

Student: Meaning, to actually bless for it?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (41:01) We see that when there's some state of suffering, sickness, God forbid, or something critical, a friend we have to be concerned about or a relative. So, the thoughts of the Creator, that everything comes from Him, and that it's in His hands, it's like there's no choice it becomes more natural. It's easier to hold on to it for a whole day, no problem. And when the state goes away, those thoughts go away too. When you go out of danger, again, you stop thinking of the Creator and we think we're conducting our life. We forget that He does everything, and so on. If the will to receive that we're immersed in, if we can hold on to such a state of the Creator as the source to all sources and desires, without a threat against it, but from a positive side, not because he's running from bad, but because he really cares of the Creator, he appreciates Him, he wants to give Him contentment in a positive way.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Could there be such a state?

M. Laitman: It depends on the person.

Student: It depends on society's influence on a person, right?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What should be the influence of society on a person so he will advance in a positive way? What's he escaping? It has to be against something.

M. Laitman: He is escaping from the forces that push him away from holiness.

Student: How does a person feel the forces pushing him away from holiness? It's like a threat that a close relative is between life and death and he doesn't stop praying to the Creator and everything's from Him and so on. How can society bring such a reality to a person? The will to receive is so horrible that he has to run from it like fire.

M. Laitman: This certainly depends not only on the person, but also on the Creator and on a person's preparation to reveal the Creator's relation to him. We organize it.

Student: What should be a person's tendency in order to do that?

M. Laitman: To advance toward it a person should be straight or directly toward the Creator. Meaning, he doesn't care what relation he gets from the Creator, but what's important to him is that the relation from the Creator will be direct. And to come to this everything we talked about beforehand, that the Creator does everything, causes everything, and wants a person to position himself directly toward Him. This is why he has all kinds of means in order to turn a person.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (46:37) About the intention, we speak about intention a lot in the first part, and you really went deep about it. You even said, instead of deeds, we have to live in the intentions. That my spiritual world is according to my intention. A Kabbalist reaches a state that before every action, he's in the intention. And if he isn't, he doesn't work.

M. Laitman: If he's without an intention, then he's like a machine that's performing some operations because someone set it up this way. And if we're talking about an intention, then we are talking about what is the desire of this machine, what it wants to achieve.

Student: Can I train myself? I can train myself in many topics and areas but the intention, how to reach such a recognition of the intention in every action?

M. Laitman: I don't understand what you're asking. The intention means, I'm working for something. What exactly do I need to prepare in order to reveal that something, which is in the purpose of creation? So, I too need to be in the purpose of creation and how much I need to be in the purpose of creation.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (49:01) What does it mean to be straight with the Creator?

M. Laitman: Straight or direct? It's according to its definition. Our definition.

Student: What is our definition?

M. Laitman: What does it mean to be straight towards the Creator? Meaning, how I feel and how I think, if I arrange it directly toward the Upper One, and how He operates on me.

Student: A person needs to justify the Creator in everything, to surrender, to annul, to agree, with everything the Creator is taking him through. Is that right? That's a tendency?

M. Laitman: I don't think so.

Student: So, what is? Are there things he doesn't need to justify the Creator about?

M. Laitman: No. If a person wants to be like the Creator, he needs to be directed in his feelings to what he is going through. And then he will be able to attain the Creator.

Student: There are things that happen to me, and I don't want them to happen to me. But then there do I justify the Creator also in that? Or do I resist it? What do I do in such thoughts, in such states?

M. Laitman: You need to try to accept everything that happens to you. Attribute it to There is None Else Besides Him, and approach Him as to The Good Who Does Good.

Student: In a week we're going to be in the Congress, the convention Connecting to None Else Besides Him.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: How should we come out from such a convention?

M. Laitman: From the convention?

Student: Yes, how to come out of it. Like you're right that if you want to jump on the table you have to aim much higher. So I'm trying to see beyond the convention. What preparation is needed of us in order to come out? And with which purpose? What should we aspire for? I don't want to just tell myself to strengthen in None Else Besides Him. I want something more actual for us as a group, as a world Kli. What can we come out of such a Congress with?

M. Laitman: We need to come out of the Congress united together and that our unity will be around the Creator. That's it. What else do we need?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (53:31) We learn that There’s None Else Besides Him.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: We're searching for this feeling between us that the earth is filled with His glory.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: There's a gap between the feelings that go through us in all the states of this world to the knowledge that we're washing ourselves with. That He's One and There is None Else Besides Him. On the other hand, we have all kinds of pains, lack of agreement, all kinds of inner complaints. We slander Him, we condemn Him. How do we bridge that gap between the two?

M. Laitman: Between what and what? Between There is None Else Besides Him and?

Student: Look, the Creator created the will to receive.

M. Laitman: First of all answer me.

Student: How to bridge between us washing ourselves in this every day, that there's none else besides him, that everything that happens comes in a thought to begin with, to the personal pain that each one of us goes through. That lack of agreement. We just want to be in His world, in the feeling that He's The Good That Does Good.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: But if each one of us doesn't have this feeling then so we can't reach it, we can't make this jump.

M. Laitman: So, we need to come to such a vessel.

Student: How?

M. Laitman: By uniting. Among us.

Student: But how? He gave us this crooked, broken vessel. It's like giving a builder a crooked level and telling him to make a straight floor for me.

M. Laitman: That may be how you see it.

Student: But that's what we hear from other friends, that's what they're searching for.

M. Laitman: They're searching how to be straight.

Student: How to be in justification.

M. Laitman: Justification? This is what we need to find. This is what we need to find. Let's hope we will find it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (56:32) We're calling the Congress, “Connecting to None Else Besides Him”. What happens in that connection to none other than Him? What happens to a person?

M. Laitman: You want to discover the One Upper Force to everyone, to reveal it to everyone.

Student: And what happens to a person's reality when he actually connects to none other besides Him? What changes?

M. Laitman: What changes is that he is under His control. It's control. The control of that force.

Student: And how does it change his relation? In what does it change in his life?

M. Laitman: The fact that he discovers that that force governs him, manages him in every single situation in his life.

Student: So, attainment in this convention is something personal that a person is about to attain connecting to none Other Besides Him?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And what does a Ten attain from such a convention?

M. Laitman: To the extent that it connects and directs each person within it to the None Else Besides Him.

Student: So, the Ten's role is to give everyone forces to connect to None Else Besides Him?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: But the result is personal in the end for each one in this convention.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (58:24) Accepting the control of the Upper One, does that mean to be ready to discover all the contradictions and opposites that a person thinks that it's contradictions and opposites? Or does he have to settle these contradictions and opposites?

M. Laitman: He cannot settle. He needs to discover them as they are, or reveal them as they are. And continue this way until he reveals the inner force of the contradictions and wants within that out of the contradictions a correct way will emerge for him, to the right revelation.

Student: So, a Kabbalist is a person that can encompass these opposites.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: We want to be in this or in that, but a Kabbalist is able to carry these states that supposedly seem opposites

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And it will always be like this, because he advances every time and discovers new contradictions, supposedly.

M. Laitman: There is probably a state where they disappear, and the contradiction between them.

Student: But his role, when he discovers them is to subdue himself?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:00:51) What does it mean to be direct with the Creator?

M. Laitman: To be direct with the Creator means that I want to receive all the relation of the Creator to the created beings directly, and not hide from myself any other relation.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:01:41) What does it mean, directly, without concealing?

M. Laitman: As it is, as the Creator relates to the created beings.
