Convention Lesson 4 (Evening), September 13, 2024.

Lesson: World Kabbalah Convention "Growing Stronger in the Ten".

Reader: (01:23) Hello everyone, welcome to the World Kabbalah Convention: Getting Stronger in the Ten. We are in Lesson number 4, this topic is Revealing or Discovering the Power of Connection.

M. Laitman: This is indeed the main thing we should do in our life, in this degree, of entering the spiritual level, discovering the power of connection. Baal HaSulam writes:

Rav Reading Excerpt 1: (02:11) Baal HaSulam, "600,000 Souls" Twice

There is indeed only one soul in the world, […] That same soul exists in all the children of Israel, complete in each and every one, as in Adam HaRishon, since the spiritual is indivisible and cannot be cut—which is rather a trait of corporeal things.

Rather, saying that there are 600,000 souls and sparks of souls appears as though it is divided by the force of the body of each person.

Rav Reading Excerpt 1: (02:59) Baal HaSulam, "600,000 Souls"

Okay, if no questions about that we'll continue.

Rav Reading Excerpt 2: (04:12) Baal HaSulam, "Peace in the World"

Each and every individual in society is like a wheel that is linked to several other wheels placed in a machine. This single wheel has no freedom of movement in and of itself but continues with the motion of the rest of the wheels in a certain direction to qualify the machine to perform its general function.

And if there is some malfunction in the wheel, the malfunction is not evaluated relating to the wheel itself, but according to its service and role with respect to the whole machine.

M. Laitman: This, too, is from Baal HaSulam.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (05:29) It's written that corruption is measured according to the functioning. How does a person know what is his role in the general system, in the machine?

M. Laitman: This is what we learn, that's what we learn, and one should scrutinize that to the extent that one is connected to the friends, who are in the same motion, towards the same goal. And are working in mutual support for each other, then it turns out that that this is how he discovers his role. How much he should do and how much he should help others, and how the friends are working and how much they help him.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (07:01) What is the spiritual machine? We are like cogwheels in a general movement, creating this flow. But what is the machine itself in spirituality?

M. Laitman: The machine itself is the collective soul where we are all its components, its parts. And each one of us has to do his job, his role, and thus the machine is activated by us. To the point that it brings us, all of those who are included in it, it brings us to the final Correction.

Student: But how does the surrounding world, the corporeal world, how does it?

M. Laitman: The corporeal world is included in the same machine and to the extent that we try to operate the machine, then we, on our behalf, influence the world more and more.

Student: That's why I wanted to hear, that we, through our actions, influence the surrounding world. This is that machine.

M. Laitman: Okay, I don't see questions.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (09:00) How does the functioning of the wheel testify to the soul?

M. Laitman: Each and every wheel is a soul, as a part of the general machine, general soul, collective soul.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (09:27) When the Creator brings us to the group, we have a duty, a certain duty, to start functioning like a cogwheel. But sometimes it takes years until I understand that, as a cogwheel, I'm also dependent on the friends. Can we say that until each one understands his role, we're still not a machine? We're only learning this engine, this mechanism but we're not it yet, we're not working as a machine yet? But there may be a situation where there's a certain cogwheel that according to its development, it works more quickly than the rest of the wheels?

M. Laitman: That's not our work, not our concern. The Creator is the one who drives the whole machine. And He makes sure that there's a complete compatibility between all the parts of the machine. It's like millions of parts, each of which does its unique, singular role that is unlike anyone else’s. And therefore, all of that can be done only by a force outside of us.

Student: Until we start working as one mechanism, how does each person find his place without pressure in order to work in the most effective way?

M. Laitman: In the works of the machine, this mechanism, in some states all the parts are working together in reciprocity, driving this mechanism. And, there are states where these parts actually drive themselves. To the extent that they understand the action of the machine, the way in which it works. Therefore, we should study this system, be connected among us. Ultimately, we'll begin to understand and feel the work of this machine and our role in it, our place in it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (12:55) What is the role of the Ten in the machine?

M. Laitman: The role of the Ten in the machine is that the Ten is like a block, like a part of the machine that's doing a unique job, a unique role. Each and every part of the Ten has no free choice and know nothing but all of them together come to a state where they have a unique role and all of them are drawn to a specific kind of work.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (14:05) What is the soul of that system of wheels?

M. Laitman: You have one big soul where all of the created beings are incorporated together in a mutual work, in a way that they are opposite the Creator, they bestow to Him. And He, on His part bestows to that system of cogwheels, in return, and activates them.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (15:11) I see several contradictions: First, I have to take upon myself the Creator giving me a certain role in the Ten. I have to take this role with annulment. Number two, has to do with what you said in the previous lesson, that I must accept the knowledge that the teacher gives me, and how do I accept it – for Her Sake, not for Her Sake –but I receive it because of my love for you. And I see here some oppositeness, how to reconcile this oppositeness because there’s a view of the Ten, view of the teacher, and my own view?

M. Laitman: The person in his development in our world, achieves a state where he must know what he was created for. When such a question appears in him, what was I created for, what is the purpose of my life? Then he gradually comes closer to entering the system of our world and he reveals it. And thus, he begins to attain his role in it. That’s basically how he moves forward.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (17:12) Over this year, we felt all the heaviness that’s growing in our hearts, and we feel that we’re lacking oil in our wheels, and we’re running out of fuel. I see it according to my friends in the Ten, they come to lessons but either they immediately disconnect or we’re pretty sleepy. Maybe we’re looking with our eyes open but we don’t understand anything that’s going on around us. We don’t know what to do. What’s happening with us?

M. Laitman: Our main work is to discover how interconnected we are, and how we have to calibrate between us in order to become incorporated in the work of this machine; and begin to not activate ourselves in it. But rather begin to be aware and conscious of how we can start making it move, that’s essentially our task.

Student: How do we move, should we wait patiently?

M. Laitman: No, no, no, no way, nothing's going to work if you'll just wait patiently. We have to start moving along with the machine, along with its mechanism. And then, bit by bit, we'll join its collective movement forward. And we have to begin that, already now, and the movement of the machine has to, we will gradually join its movement forward and include ourselves in it.

Student: But the heart is so heavy, it doesn't absorb anything.

M. Laitman: It only seems to you that way, only seems to you, every one of us has his unique place in this mechanism. So, we have to first understand this mechanism, every particle of this mechanism is an individual soul. The entire machine is built from thousands of such souls and they are in constant motion between themselves in various connections and disconnections and movement. We have to feel that and explore, research, this machine. It is one unified collective soul for everyone and then, we'll be able to become partners, or loyal helpers, of the Creator.

Student: But what do we do now? We're studying this machine, we're trying to do something but it's not working, it's not moving. We're sleeping inside.

M. Laitman: Wait, wait, it will move. It will move only if you will want to use it correctly, just like any machine. Therefore, you don't need to complain about the mechanism, itself, this general soul but only its components, and we are its general components. And our goal is, through gradual incorporation in that work. When we begin to understand our task through the connection between us, and each one begins to see in the friends, those parts with whom he must work. That's the state we have to achieve.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (23:15) If one of the wheels in the Ten is either malfunctioning or not working right. And he doesn't understand, doesn't see, are we permitted as a Ten to correct it together, to advise him? Or he might be offended and say, who are you to tell me what to do?

M. Laitman: Yes, this already pertains to the mutual work between the friends. We have to study together, we have to reach towards each other. And then we assist each other to yearn to a state where in the connection between us we can move the general soul, this common mechanism, and it will then work thanks to us. We'll talk about it more.

Student: I also instructed a point in the heart lessons and I see that with intellectual questions and answers, how can we make them more, with more internal feelings, so that the feeling will pull us? Because that's the goal for us to feel this process, so how can we connect them, the new guys, and everyone together?

M. Laitman: If we know that our goal is to become incorporated between us, as written, one shall help his friend, and then we come to a state where we truly begin to work, all of us, as one man and one heart. And within that, the machine starts working properly, and then we begin to reveal how exactly we can tune it and arrange it.

Student: Once in our Ten, when we made it, we asked, but there was suddenly, I don't know how to say this, as if the Creator was with us. Everyone spoke the same, felt elation for a minute or two, and it was indescribable joy.

M. Laitman: So, you have to get to a point where this is your constant state.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (26:55) The Creator had chosen everyone in Ten, like the right cogwheel. And so, He had chosen all the Ten so they fit each one to the other.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And our role is to make this machine into a movement.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (27:59) Is this machine the first nine?

M. Laitman: No, no, no, it’s not the first nine.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (28:25) The friend just touched on something very painful regarding the situation in Tens. Lack of desire of the cogwheels to be in common movement. And that desire to touch the other cogwheels so it'll start moving too, but the way I want is not good. Because each cogwheel has its own quality, its own essence, so how should we see this? How should we see in this the common operation of the machine? I'm also a bad example, I, too, want to direct the wheels according to what I think is right, to give my direction, and it's been like that for years. Because every wheel around you already knows you, and you know it, you know how they'll move but you still can't accept it. How do we change it?

M. Laitman: You are absolutely correct in what you're saying, however, we have to accept this condition, and you try to incorporate with it. And for a certain amount of time, everyone has their own time frame. Each of us will, nevertheless, agree to work with the rest of the cogwheels, the rest of the components of the machine, in collaboration, in coordination.

Student: Maybe we need a new method?

M. Laitman: There are no new other methods because the system stems from the initial state of creation and it's aimed at the final state of creation. So that we just need to study it a bit, and thus try to motivate it, to drive it.

Student: More on that, so we need to bow our heads and understand that this movement, the one who does it is the Creator, and there's nothing you can do? Or you can add something of your own? Meaning you have two opinions, here, so which is the right one?

M. Laitman: The correct opinion is that you will be in constant search of what the Creator wants from you; and with that, try to do what He wants, what He thinks.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (31:58) We need to be faithful servants of the Creator. Is the calculation with each one or with the Ten?

M. Laitman: The calculation is with each and every one, and with the Ten.

Student: How do we bring the Ten closer to this work?

M. Laitman: We have to talk about it, we have to talk about it and discuss, and all the time be in that. It's not that difficult because we all depend on each other, we got nowhere to run, we're truly in a single system. And if this system moves correctly, with our correct participation in it, then each of us will gain from that. We will quickly get to the purpose of creation and we won't go wrong with all kinds of unnecessary decisions or movements.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (33:42) In the Ten, each of us has special abilities that the Creator gave her. And in the Ten, we already notice, detect the special thing that each one contributes to the Ten, just like organs in the body, each one has its functioning. You also said that the Ten, itself, is like a block within the machine. How does the unique quality of each one express, how is it expressed when we are in a block that has a certain functioning in the system?

M. Laitman: That's not something you can understand.

Student: Are we supposed to discover our unique role in the system?

M. Laitman: Of each and every one, and the entire Ten, and each Ten; and all the Tens, we have to discover all of it.

Student: So, we begin with a personal movement of each one in the Ten, and then the Ten together comes to something common in the system?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (35:00) In this excerpt, the society is depicted like a machine and the Ten has a role in it. So, what is our role in the machine?

M. Laitman: Our general role is that this whole part of the general machine will rise and become incorporated with the whole machine, with the collective soul. And that's how we'll advance.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (35:57) Is our ability to attain the general functioning related only to the annulment that we do toward the one who operates on us all the time?

M. Laitman: No, our goal in the spiritual work, meaning to activate this machine, this is called, the general soul. So, our goal is that this part of the machine will function as it should in this engine or this general system, that's it. And then, we'll feel how coordinated we are with all of the pieces of this big soul, this machine. And in that we'll discover all of reality, which will become revealed to us.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (37:53) Is it possible, then, that the meaning is that we're not being incorporated as a new Ten?

M. Laitman: Of course, we don't integrate, completely, here and there. But bit by bit, through exercises that the Creator puts us through, we are gradually doing more and more work together.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (38:37) Tell me, please, speaking of women's Tens, what can add to the connection of a women's Ten, if we all participate in one dissemination project? I can say from experience that if we tend to something together, then we have many conversations about it. Is this correct or is it a mistake?

M. Laitman: No, it's correct, of course, it's useful to be doing something common, together. And in order to realize it, we'll connect between us in various ways, and thus, we will more quickly recover, restore that part, that block, we have in the collective soul.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (39:58) The force of unity, is it an expression of the Creator being unique?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Then we see that there is nothing but the friends?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (40:37) Sometimes I measure a friend if she's doing her role in the machine, basically compared to my actions. And it's hard for me to justify the friend and see her greatness. So what's the right approach, how do I appreciate correctly what seems to me is broken right now?

M. Laitman: If something seems broken to me, so that corruption is not out there where I see it but, rather, where is it inside of me, that flaw? And if I correct myself at a certain place in a certain way, then I won't see that flaw on the outside. Meaning, the main thing, the main thing is to notice where are my corruptions, my flaws.

Student: When women want to ask more than men, does it do harm to the men?

M. Laitman: It's not harm, we are studying together in such a way and everyone can add to the general function of the machine. Everything will work itself, out.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (42:49) Each soul has a role in this block. Bnei Baruch, are they one soul or is there common Kli and Israeli Kli and they have different roles?

M. Laitman: There are thousands of parts in the soul of Bnei Baruch, and all these parts, these pieces, always go through corrections and connections.

Student: And they work together?

M. Laitman: To the extent that those who activate them, the individual people, want that to happen.

Student: What is the functionality of Rav in this block?

M. Laitman: Like everyone else's, meaning, that all the individual souls, which include the bigger part of creation which is us. That this mechanism or this system will function properly, that's it.

Student: How can we guarantee that you will be healthy for as long as possible? But how do we guarantee that this machine will continue to work properly?

M. Laitman: It's incorrect to think this way, that without him nothing will happen. The Creator governs everything, the Creator does everything. And so even here, among our students, there are people who can activate you and the whole world towards the final correction, not less than what I can do.

Student: I'm sure that you raised wonderful children, here, I'm certain. But you're still the last Kabbalist of our generation?

M. Laitman: That's what it seems, there's no such thing, no. No, you mustn't think that way. Continue and we'll correct everything.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (45:41) The common machine, did it ever work before the breaking? And then as humanity develops, it'll work again?

M. Laitman: This machine has been working throughout all years from the creation of the world.

Student: I mean, now we're working to make it work, correctly?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Meaning, it never worked properly?

M. Laitman: Until Adam HaRishon broke it.

Student: Kabbalists advise us, they see the machine in its corrected state, as it should be. They see the end of the act in the preliminary thought, they see what it was like before Adam HaRishon broke it? Or do they see it as working correctly in the modern world that we're going for; or is it the same?

M. Laitman: I can't explain that, they see it as completely corrected. And along with it, they also see the corruption of today. And the path to move from the state of corruption towards a corrected state.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (47:42) How should men and women Tens work together after this Congress in the spirituality, if they have to work together?

M. Laitman: After the Congress, we go back to our routine work, which means, every day, we have lessons, lectures. And so, everything will continue regularly, that's it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (48:48) How do I know that I am really feeling the friend, and not just my perception of the friend? Or that I am not projecting some of my feelings onto my friend?

M. Laitman: We rely on what we feel but the Creator knows how each and every one of us feels. And also, what we feel towards each one, what we hear, what we should be hearing. And this way we move forward, He's correcting us all the time.

Student: So, it doesn't matter actually if the feelings I'm feeling are my friend's or mine? It's just everything is going towards correction?

M. Laitman: It's just not a concern for you. Let the Creator perform the correction over you, and that's it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (50:38) [No translation] How do we maintain this strength when our physical body begins to resist, to give us physical fatigue? How can the image of the Shechina support those who feel this fatigue, which slows down the work of the Shechina and of the entire system, as we have just heard? How can the image of the Shechina support those who feel this fatigue, which slows down the work of the Shechina and of the entire system, as we have just heard?

M. Laitman: Only by connection between you.

Translator: (52:18) The question was how to connect to the system you described in the lesson?

M. Laitman: Only through the connection between you, where you go through the articles of Baal HaSulam and Rabash and you wish to realize them in the connection in the Ten. There's nothing more I can add.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (53:23) In this continuing movement of the parts, there's a feeling that the heart is expanding. And not only that it wants to open to a friend who's close to me, but to include all the sparks that are being opened here at this moment. Question is what can we realize together in the lessons within the Ten so we adopt this new flavor, new taste?

Reader: She has a feeling that the heart is expanding, so how can they realize this new feeling in the Ten, which they feel in these lessons?

M. Laitman: She has to feel that by each and every article she covers the whole Ten and this way she will advance.

Student: What is the importance of awakening the desire to participate in each lesson because we see that maybe not all the friends have the importance?

M. Laitman: If there's no importance, there's nothing to do. In order to advance, we have to read new articles, every day. We have to make a connection between us and thus we advance, that's it. And that's how we awaken the upper light that influences us and through its changes it brings us closer; otherwise, we cannot advance.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (56:09) Is there room for mistakes in the spiritual work, mistakes of the cogwheel that could do harm to others? Or are the mistakes we make in the spiritual work part of the correction?

M. Laitman: It's part of the correction but there are mistakes.

Student: Can our mistakes influence the whole Ten?

M. Laitman: Even more than the Ten.

Student: Meaning, we have to be careful for mistakes in the spiritual work?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: How can we be careful for mistakes in the spiritual work?

M. Laitman: You should be afraid of moving away from the friends.

Student: The closer we are to the friends in the Ten, the farther we are from mistakes?

M. Laitman: Correct.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (57:24) Question: If my mistake caused me to draw farther from the Creator, it's not the worst. The worst is that because of my mistake I drew away from the friend. Is it so?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Meaning the real thing I can touch and feel and not be mistaken in it, as if I am among the friends, hiding among the friends, holding their hands. But if I don't feel the Creator then what should I do?

M. Laitman: Pray.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (58:26) A person going through a correction, does he feel that he's going through a correction? Does he know he's making this correction?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: It's not like he needs to cross the barrier and then he performs a correction?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (58:41) The day-to-day life guards us. We have our routine, we have our meals, we have our lessons. And when there's a Congress, there's this turmoil like a hurricane, and it makes you really intense, it feels very powerful. And every time we come out of a Congress, it's as if there's some sort of a feeling that it's good, that we're back in the routine. But this time, at least in my vessels, it feels like this routine, if we go back to the same, it will do us harm, it will not take us to the next degree. It's kind of a fear that it's going to be over in a minute, and it's the first time I feel like I don't want to go back to the routine. That the routine no longer protects me, but that we just have to break this routine.

M. Laitman: Correct.

Student: What do we do because we all go back to our lives, to our jobs?

M. Laitman: Doesn't matter.

Student: Internally?

M. Laitman: In and through our life, we can continue the spiritual correction.

Student: Without changing anything in our routine?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And, remembering that, maybe it's not, it shouldn't be taken for granted?

M. Laitman: To add to our life routine, elements of, correction.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:00:57) I wanted to know why, from the perspective of Kabbalah, there's no importance to the Shabbat?

M. Laitman: Who told you that?

Student: According to what I see.

M. Laitman: First of all, look into it, then say; no, there's no such thing. From the perspective of Kabbalah, there is an importance of everything that has to do with carrying out Torah and Mitzvot.

Student: Why is it not part of your routine, if I may ask?

M. Laitman: Mine? How do you know?

Student: We're here.

M. Laitman: Here, what? Where do you see that I do something that you're criticizing?

Student: It's Friday, today.

M. Laitman: Yes?

Student: It means Shabbat.

M. Laitman: No, Friday is not Saturday.

Student: No but when Shabbat begins.

M. Laitman: Yes, so when Shabbat starts, you'll see that many people will no longer be here. And to yourself, you're also concerned about yourself?

Student: What's that? Well, I was worried up to a certain point.

M. Laitman: A certain point, okay.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:02:52) There is a machine with thousands of cogwheels and there is a heart full of love. How to put these two systems together?

M. Laitman: What machine?

Reader: The machine with the cogwheels, I assume he means the collective soul and how you described the mechanism. And he also says there is a heart full of love, so how do you connect to the two?

M. Laitman: Those two, the heart and?

Student: The machine.

M. Laitman: The machine that's what?

Student: The machine is built from cogwheels, on the one hand, and on the other hand, there's a heart full of love. How do these things?

M. Laitman: The heart is in that machine.

Student: How, how does it integrate into the machine or the feeling of that heart integrates into the machine of cogwheels? It kind of sounds?

M. Laitman: We need, we need to learn these things, yes, to learn. It's impossible to explain like that, just in a nutshell.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:04:33) You told us many times that our soul, collective soul, is based on cogwheels, each Ten is like a cogwheel. How to help to cogwheel which falls out from the machine to come back?

M. Laitman: It seems to us like it's falling and it's dropping out of the machine but there's no such thing. A person is sometimes kind of disconnected, sometimes for a long time but he doesn't exit the machine, there's no such thing.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:05:33) What should the Ten prepare for so that each friend in it will take the right spot?

M. Laitman: The Ten should be ready to go through all the stages of correction and become corrected. It's not so complicated but they have to know it and be ready for it, that's it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:06:29) First of all, a request from a friend in the Ten that we will use this moment, here and now, and won't talk about what happened before or what will happen. We're all here together now and we have to remember to raise a prayer. I wanted to ask, you told the friend that in the day-to-day, there are elements of corrections, corrections we can make. So, how do I, during my day, how do I make corrections, by what?

M. Laitman: By wanting to come closer to your Ten and asking the Creator for it. Turning to Him, praying to Him and feeling how much, how He begins to turn you in the right direction toward correction. This is basically your work.

Student: If someone or some Ten are making a correction, it's a correction that influences everyone? And then the others don't need to go through it?

M. Laitman: Yes and no, the question is to what extent they are connected?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:08:33) Why, here, in Bnei Baruch, we, for us as representatives of countries who are rivals, we can be in peace and the hearts melt? For instance, we come from Russia and Ukraine, or other countries, we want to see the same thing in the external world. When will that happen?

M. Laitman: Not soon but we mustn't give up, give up hope and stop working and wait. It all depends on us.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:09:25) If I can continue, as sisters, it's easy to find connection between us. How can we also be as sisters in the Ten? To melt the hearts and find that connection?

M. Laitman: In truth, we're much closer than biological brothers and sisters so we needn't think that there is some sort of an abyss between us, no. We need to recognize who we are and how we are distinguished from each other and it will happen soon.

Student: Now, after the Global course, there are new Tens forming, many new students are in the Arvut system watching the Congress. What can we wish for them or pass on to them? So that now, as they're forming their Tens, what can help them grow stronger and develop their connection as a new Ten?

M. Laitman: We need, all of us together, to be in the same lesson during the week, men and women together in one lesson. And that lesson we need to dedicate to the connection between us. After the Congress, we will add this lesson on a regular basis.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:12:21) Following the question, as cogwheels we enter a machine that works, and then the machine stops working. Meaning, the machine grinds the cogwheel? Or it gives it an opportunity for correction?

M. Laitman: The machine accepts this cogwheel, sees that the wheel takes its place. And gradually sees the part in the common machine that that part needs to do.

Student: We don't replace this cogwheel?

M. Laitman: There's no one to replace it with.

Student: That gives hope.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:13:22) You said that every corruption I see in others, is in me. So, is there nothing good in me until I'm corrected?

M. Laitman: Well, for the time being, if you didn't perform corrections, then there is nothing in you that's corrected. Start correcting.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:13:58) Hello, I am Boris, a student of MAK, spring 2024, and I want to say thank you for being in this place and time. We are in week number nine of studying practical Kabbalah, all the articles of Rabash, which we study. It awakens the same questions we see in all the forums, I'll take the courage and speak in the name of all of my course. We truly discern this as a science; now, it's clear that we see that there are many layers and degrees in each and every article, and we also have multiple layers of questions. And we wanted to say thank you to the Rav and to all our teachers, the sources. And a lot of health to Rav, longevity, and to us, the shortest path for the unity of the souls!

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:16:12) We had scrutinies with the friends, and they said, “as the ego grows, the more evil you see outside, and the more you have to work on the ego, and thus, the more you advance:. My question is if I see less and less flaws in others, and I also justify that everything comes from the Creator, so I see less evil. Does that mean that I've stopped my progress or that I'm actually advancing? What is the most effective way to advance?

M. Laitman: The most effective way to advance is the daily lesson, a daily meeting with the friends in the group and a preparation from today's lesson to tomorrow's lesson. If you do these three requirements, you will be successful.

Student: Second question, if I can, this is from a friend in my Ten. We, too, are in the week 9 of the study, and is it correct for a woman to study the wisdom of Kabbalah, where her husband only, he believes in Islam and he is religious? Or a woman has to follow her husband?

M. Laitman: If the husband thinks that the woman should follow him, she should follow him.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:18:56) Very frequently in the Ten, we lose track of being a part of a whole, like we are in a single unit. Not even thinking about the general soul, just the Ten itself. You know, friends act like they are isolated individuals, it's like nuts in a sack. How do we help each other aim more frequently to be organs inside a body?

M. Laitman: We need, it all depends on how we speak among ourselves with friends from other Tens. How our teacher takes upon himself influence from other Tens. But whatever happens, it doesn't matter how we see ourselves, in what way. In the end, the Creator will correct us and there will not be in us, after some time, any corruption.

Student: Sometimes it feels like our prayers are not working, like asking the wrong way or something, why it's not working. Like, you know, we want to be like just pointing in the same direction all the time, why not?

M. Laitman: It just seems to you like it's not working. Turn to the Creator more, “and the salvation of the Lord is just a blink of an eye”.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:21:59) We are a Ten from the Far East, my friends weren't able to make it here to here in Israel. I made a long journey, my flight was cancelled three times. And the main thought was to be here with the Ten. The lessons go by and I feel such a state that I left something very valuable to me. How to keep the connection in the heart?

M. Laitman: Precisely in the heart, precisely in the heart is where you keep the connection. Just imagine that you're like a mother who thinks about her little child.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:23:34) It's about the Ten like a machine where everyone has it has a role. And then together the Ten makes a movement, along with the other Tens, in order to once again Make a Movement that corrects us and influences the whole world. So, the question is whether benevolent Needs to recreate the soul of Adam HaRishon, alone, or with other Kabbalists who take care of other Tens and study Torah through other means. And maybe even, with all people who have points in the hearts, even if they don't know the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Reader: (01:24:57) She's asking whether benevolent is solely responsible for the correction of the soul of Adam HaRishon or we can collaborate with other people and other groups Who don't study Kabbalah?

M. Laitman: We are from the same system of Adam HaRishon and all our corrections belong to the correction of the vessel of Adam HaRishon. And in the end, when we come to our common general correction, we will see that Adam HaRishon that system has arisen to its complete functioning?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:26:26) The Ten is this block that connects together and exists in the general system or general machine. How is it possible to transform this this connection into bestow?

M. Laitman: How is it possible to turn connection into bestowal, well, the connection of the connection of the bonding is already a place for bestowal. So, if we unite and in our connection we establish such connection, such a union. Then it already becomes a source of bestowal A source of bestowal for everyone.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:27:59) If we are like cogwheels and I missed a lesson, I didn't hear a lesson, or I didn't pay my Maaser I didn't do something else that I committed to in the Ten, and there's a sense of shame that awakens. What should I do as a cogwheel in the machine?

M. Laitman: Ask for the friend's forgiveness and do it!

Student: So just do what I missed. How do you cope with the feeling of shame?

M. Laitman: It happens to everyone, it happens to everyone.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:29:02) My friends from China want to thank you! They have requests, they sent me a message: It's a great effort to prepare this Congress, we have friends who translate from night to daylight. Friends organized all the invitations and set up a place for the Mirror Congress. Even the new student is giving so much support, and not only for this Congress. It's already become our daily duty, we are turning to a new state. We become stronger and gather more for our love. Dear Rav, can we ask you to bless the China Kli, to awake more spirit in China?

M. Laitman: I bless all the Chinese who are in some connection with us. I wish for you to come closer, to be more connected, more closer to us, to become closer to us. And it's not only the Chinese who are in mainland China but all over the world. I really hope that we will have many Chinese who will find a place, here.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:31:15) Yes, Rav, it's actually a perfect opportunity to maybe, let's look at all the world Kli! All of the Mirror Congresses. There's 50 Mirror Congresses all around the world!

M. Laitman: Okay. What are you pointing to? A song?

Song: (01:33:48)

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:38:50) If the machine is built from Tens, then how will all people of the world go into that system? Because you said that not all people have to study the wisdom of Kabbalah?

M. Laitman: It's like a planetary system, someone does something, someone helps someone else, someone does something that influences everyone else. Everyone is mutually connected. So, in the end, everyone reaches the end of Correction.

Student: Can we say that all people of the world are in me and if I don't make the correction fully, internally, they won't awaken in that system?

M. Laitman: It's partially true but only partially.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:40:05) How do we know that we have begun correcting?

M. Laitman: We will feel it. We will feel it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:40:50) The cogwheels spin at the same speed in the system. And as long as we are in friction with each other, sometimes there is a short circuit in the system with certain friends. On the other hand, sometimes there is a really deep connection with other friends. Are we understanding, correctly?

M. Laitman: It will all change.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:41:42) Is there a possibility that we die before we have achieved our role in the system?

M. Laitman: Don't worry, first of all, when we die, nothing ends, this is number one. Number two, there is someone watching over us, making sure we achieve our correction, so, let's worry about that.

Student: Should I do all kinds of actions to try to understand, or discover, my role in the collective soul?

M. Laitman: No, you need to do what you need to do. And what is your original role, you will discover it, later.

Student: Do I need to think, to be afraid or of the actions I'm doing, causing harm?

M. Laitman: You don't need to think about it but you're doing harm, now, when you're delaying others from asking.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:44:12) How is everyone's individual spirituality helps serve the whole system?

M. Laitman: Each one bestows through his Ten, influences the general system through his Ten, and this is how he moves everything.

Student: Can a person in our society not reveal his individuality and how to help him open up?

M. Laitman: We'll talk about it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:44:51) Thank you very much. The question is, many friends from the world Kli will soon go back home in a few days. How can we use the fuel we've received here? How can we use it in the Tens, how can we pass it on to the Tens to help the Tens cross this boundary?

M. Laitman: I think that without constant and fixed connection with our center, you won't be able to advance.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:45:51) We feel there's a significance in everyone thinking at the same time about moving the wheel in the machine. So, maybe you can guide us, what can we do now while we're all, here, what can we do to further drive the wheels forward and push the system forward?

M. Laitman: To connect more and more between us; nothing more, that's enough.

Student: Is it possible as we are now when we're all together, here in the Tens, that you give us some instruction so that each Ten can drive it together at the same time? Because we came to Congress and this is its topic, so help us.

M. Laitman: How will I help you?

Student: Give us something.

M. Laitman: Give you what?

Student: I don't know. I'll tell you what's possible.

M. Laitman: Yes?

Student: Tell you what I think is possible: If for a second all the Tens, all of us will be quiet for a minute and think about how we together at the same time how we activate the wheel.

M. Laitman: Let's do it!

M. Laitman: (01:48:28) I think no one thought we'd have such a Congress. So warm, so rich with friends who came from everywhere, from all over the world. I'm really, really happy, I didn't expect this at all! I'm really grateful to you, thank you very much, very much for coming over to us. We'll agree on the next Congress, let's hope we do it even better than this Congress. And move forward and upward. Thank you.
