Part 1: Baal HaSulam. The Last Generation

Reader: (00:03) Hello, we're reading in the writings of Baal HaSulam in the writings of The Last Generation, continuing with Part One, under the title, The Positive, Item G. You can find the study materials on our website. You can also ask questions live through our websites. Anyone asking a question in the study hall is asked to stand up, hold the microphone close to his mouth and speak loud and clear. Item G, 7.

Reading Item G (7): (00:42)

G) The whole world is one family. The framework of communism should eventually encircle the entire world in an equal standard of living for all. However, the actual process is gradual. Each nation whose majority accepts these basic elements practically, and has a guaranteed fuel, may enter the framework of communism right away. Again, G) The whole world is one family. The framework of communism should eventually encircle the entire world in an equal standard of living for all. However, the actual process is gradual. Each nation whose majority accepts these basic elements practically, and has a guaranteed fuel, may enter the framework of communism right away.

M. Laitman: I don't have much to add, unless you have questions.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (02:33) It's not clear how a part of the nation can take it upon themselves, even if it's a majority. What happens with the minority, with the others?

M. Laitman: That cannot be unless there's a mixture of ideas and scrutinies.

Student: I will be more precise: Here he writes that if the majority of a certain public accepts these basic elements, practically, they will enter the framework of communism. So, it's not going to be just by incorporation, they'll actually take upon themselves certain laws and a certain level of responsibility. So, it's not just the majority of the public, there has to be a critical mass here in this nation.

M. Laitman: Yes, that's true.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (03:47) Until the whole world will enter the framework of egoistic communism, the second stage of altruistic communism won't start? Or are these parallel processes?

M. Laitman: No, it's not a parallel.

Student: So, until the whole of humanity, all of it, will be one family, there is no next stage of altruistic communism?

M. Laitman: True.

Student: And there won't be inside of it a group that does start in parallel?

M. Laitman: Yes, there will be all kinds. You'll see how he writes here either a majority or a part of.

Student: Why does he write that the actual process, or practical process, is gradual?

M. Laitman: It's gradual because it's happening to people who have to adapt themselves to this. Have to accept these pressures from nature and change accordingly.

Student: And while they're going through the practical process, they're suffering? Or actually the very change of direction of humanity towards communism already alleviates the pain.

M. Laitman: No, it doesn't alleviate the pain that much, this trend, because everything happens to people. It's felt in their will to receive, in their habits, so everything has to be gradual, slowly. Where the forces of nature themselves arrange the public more and more.

Student: And when one nation or a few nations or continents start operating in this way, won't that give an example to the others?

M. Laitman: Of course, it will set an example to others but it doesn't mean that you have to wait until everyone, everyone will be as one. Rather, we have to understand that there’s a matter of becoming accustomed to, more understanding. There's a process here.

Student: Why does this understanding take time? Why the process of cooking and getting to know it? Why is this process of communism so long, accepting it?

M. Laitman: Because each and every person must change his nature. They all have to bestow to one another, they have to do all kinds of external actions in practice to get closer to one another, to feel one another more. Here is a stage where each and every person is undergoing change.

Student: And in this process, can we accelerate the time?

M. Laitman: You can always accelerate it. The question is to what extent and using what, by which means.

Student: So, there's no point in interfering with nature. The fact that we will see more suffering and pain for many years, there's nothing we can do about it. This is the correct development process of humanity.

M. Laitman: Aside from one thing, wherever we know we can bring together and combine parts of humanity, we should do it.

Student: And if I see blows and suffering and pain in humanity?

M. Laitman: Then we have to take care of it, first.

Student: But why take care of it? This is the actual process which is gradual to get to know the next degree of communism?

M. Laitman: That's on the one hand, on the other hand, certainly the recognition of evil shouldn't come again and again through suffering and wars and eruptions. And we need to ensure that all the deviations and distortions in society will be solved through consciousness, awareness.

Student: So it's possible to reach communism in a good way, good path?

M. Laitman: As much as I can see it, no, but that is now, what might be, I can't say. But we see that every change that comes from nature causes people a great deal of suffering. And here the question is, how can we mitigate it, how can we hasten development, and so on and so forth.

Student: Where are we in this process?

M. Laitman: We haven't even started this process, we haven't reached it. There's no, there isn't even a seed of a communist society.

Student: So, on what does it depend that this seed will be, will develop or even be seeded?

M. Laitman: In recognition of people, of humans, where are they? What is their nature, how can they adapt themselves to the more advanced nature?

Student: What will bring this awareness, from where such an awareness grow?

M. Laitman: From people, themselves, the power that is working within them.

Student: When should this power awaken in the people according to the stages of development?

M. Laitman: We cannot say, I think that we're going to see it, we'll see it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (10:37) He speaks here about the fact that the whole of humanity has to reach an equal standard of living. What does it mean?

M. Laitman: That within the framework of communism, everyone will share the same quality of life.

Student: What is the equal standard of living?

M. Laitman: I think that according to how they see it, no one group or one nation will have more or less compared to what they have, in total. Of course, it has to do in accordance with their habits and customs and how they live, how they eat, how they sleep, how they work. It's in accordance with the nation.

Student: Let's say, if we compare it to how it is today. Today there are people that as far as they're concerned, just give them food to eat. That's enough because they're hungry all the time.

M. Laitman: That's according to the ancient lifestyle.

Student: Bread, food, and entertainment.

M. Laitman: Yes, entertainment. So, accordingly, it's also here, it's going to be more or less the same. Bread and entertainment is what people want, and we need to ensure that they receive it, but in such a way that gradually it will change them. It will bring them closer to communism.

Student: It appears as though a part of humanity today has already gone through everything, they have far beyond just food and entertainment. In a large part, I think the majority are still in a state that is much worse than we were thousands of years ago.

M. Laitman: Yes because that bread and entertainment doesn't satisfy them, anymore.

Student: So, from here, how do we reach an equal standard of living? There are entire continents today where people don't have water and food, they just want to live. And on the other hand, there are large areas where people are dying of excess fat, they have too much food in abundance. From here, how do we reach an equal standard of living?

M. Laitman: I think equal is not a numbers thing, it's not according to some statistic equal. It is that any person who lives in an environment that is getting closer to the next degree will feel itself in a way that fits its needs, plus one. Each one lives his or her lives, and nowhere will one rule over another in opinion, and power, and everything.

Student: It seems like humanity, if you look from its beginning until today, it only went through corruption or recognition of evil.

M. Laitman: Recognition of evil.

Student: And here it describes already a corrected state where everyone is living in an equal standard of living, and everyone according to the rule of give as much as you can.

M. Laitman: Yes, we're starting.

Student: Where does the correction start? Where can we say that the correction starts instead of just more, and more, and more stages of recognition of evil?

M. Laitman: The correction begins when most of the public, the majority of the public, agrees with the need for going through a period of change. And this period of change is unpleasant because every change is unpleasant for people. But we have to do it.

Student: Until today, there was no such thing in history that the whole public decided that a change is needed, right?

M. Laitman: No, not in this way.

Student: All in all, there was only corruption until now. We see that with all the technology and the abundance, it doesn't really correct anything. So, what would bring people suddenly to an understanding that a change is needed, such a change is needed, not just any change?

M. Laitman: As usual, like in all periods that preceded us, and also in the future, it comes from above. And gradually, people are changing, and they decide on a new order of things.

Student: And we just need to accompany it, or support it?

M. Laitman: Yes, just to know what's happening inside of us and how the Creator is doing everything.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (16:31) He writes that the whole world is one family. What is the main central factor that would cause everyone to feel as one family?

M. Laitman: They will feel it, gradually, slowly, through wars and harsh scrutiny. They will get into it, but they will feel how much they depend on one another, and how close they are to one another.

Student: Because if we take the example of a shared business, there's something material that shares between the parts. But in a family, there's something emotional that unites them.

M. Laitman: True.

Student: So, what is this emotion, if you can again explain, that will unite everyone?

M. Laitman: Dependence, emotional dependence. As much as it can be good to one, it will be good to another.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (17:38) We see that all the time we have to undergo changes. A person has to make changes in himself. Accept this, accept that, agree with this. From where comes the fuel for all of these changes? From where does it come?

M. Laitman: The fuel comes from society, through society to each and every one because everyone discovers the necessity for this development, it's necessary. Like a child who's going from first grade to second grade, and he must change, and then third grade, and this way, each time he needs to change more and more, to adapt himself to a new framework. We're, also, the same in that we'll need to adapt ourselves to the new stages of development, but we'll feel that these things are necessary. And we need to adapt to them.

Student: How in this whole process do we adapt ourselves constantly to a new state? How do we do it, practically?

M. Laitman: By revealing these states, out of the writings of Kabbalists and out of the connection between us. And when we discover it, we see it's necessary, and we ask for the strength to do it.

Student: He says that we have to accept all of these elements together. Is this what it's about?

M. Laitman: No.

Student: What does it mean to accept all of these basic elements together?

M. Laitman:I don't think it's going to happen, it's practical. Of course, there'll be those who can approach it more, and some others will approach it less. Humanity, although there is a connection between all parts of humanity, I mean everybody's in one modern culture. But the main thing is through the connection between all parts of humanity.

Student: I wanted to ask also about what the friend asked you earlier, this equal standard of living. You said before that man develops all the time, he undergoes changes in himself. How can we care for an equal standard of living if man develops all the time? If man develops all the time, his needs, also, change.

M. Laitman: Yes,

Student: So how do we balance it all the time and really care that the standard of living would be equal?

M. Laitman: I don't think it has to be precise, exactly like in math or such forms. Rather, more or less, the way, today, we can compare where people live this way and where people live that way. With which addition, in what form are they closer to one another or distant from one another, nations and regimes. I think that's how it's going to be and we're moving closer to it. There is a place around the world that is making calculations for every nation, for every country. And from that we can see more or less what else is lacking in order to be in a more homogenous form.

Student: Indeed, I see that the essential change that would have to take place is sensitivity towards each other. We will have to reveal a very deep sensitivity towards each other and operate accordingly.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (USA 12): (22:04) Is love of others a necessary condition for the transition to communism, altruistic communism?

M. Laitman: I think that, yes. I think that this entire path, the principle behind this, is that people are becoming more and more closer to one another.

Question (Turkiye 9, Spain): (22:33) Two parallel questions: Is a society, will a society of Kabbalists always be communistic?

M. Laitman: It needs to develop to such a degree, where no one will feel himself alone, isolated, distant from another. Rather, we should all feel ourselves as existing parts of a body that are connected, something like that.

Student: And then there is the opposite question: A society that shifts to communism, will it always be constructed of Kabbalists? Will it always be a spiritual society?

M. Laitman: It will be a spiritual society, it will feel itself as it's described in the wisdom of Kabbalah and this will be the greatest change that we will discover. And we'll know what it means to be Kabbalists, together, as one man in one heart. All people as parts of a system in one body. That's going to be the revelation.

Question (Turkiye 9): (24:01) The fundamental concepts that we are reading about now, only relate to moral, social morals.

M. Laitman: No, it's not a social moral, it's a necessity in the development between us.

Question (Australia): (24:17) In what stage, if at all, in future communism, humanity will be arranged in tens and hundreds and thousands?

M. Laitman: I don't think so. I don't know. I have no access to check it, to see, to think. But I think that we're moving in that direction and it's moving closer to it and gradually it's getting organized in us. Even though we don't necessarily agree with it, we want it, but gradually this process that Kabbalists are writing about is a necessary process. And you find it in nature, and in the depth of nature, it's working and it's gradually bringing us closer to tens to hundreds and so on and so forth.You see all kinds of forms, some are still hidden from us but we'll reveal them in the future.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (25:33) So I'd like to go back to our friend’s question. He writes here, item G, the whole world is one family. So he makes a comparison between our goal and family. Suddenly, I was thinking of how important it would be, or even help us, to accept this law of working according to your ability and receiving according to your need inside our families. Because we already have the natural inclination to do it. Actually if we look at a family that is working according to what the experts say, it's something like this, each one has a small part, even the little one can do something. So, how important is it that each one in his family takes this as a foundation, that we want to pass it on to the family, to the children?

M. Laitman: The fact that we're not doing it and that we're talking about it and we understand that this is our future. Even in this way, without any pressure, it's entering our relationships to some extent. So, we'll see a year from now what's going on with us, are we closer to it or not? These are laws of nature, we will desire it by ourselves to change our society, our relationships, our nature will obligate us.

Student: So this law also, I call it a law, I don't know, of working according to your ability. It's also something that we should implement in our Tens, right?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (27:48) Here it says that each nation whose majority, each nation that has a guaranteed fuel may enter the framework of communism right away. The question is how do we check that we have this guaranteed fuel if it's on an inner level? Should there be some external body that checks that this nation is ready?

M. Laitman: No, I don't know, I don't think that you can check it or measure it externally but we'll see.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (28:32) This means that the internal necessity must come to that inner feeling of one family in order for it to have an external manifestation in communism?

M. Laitman: I don't know, we'll see, this is the first time we're reading this.

Student: You said a few times that there is an inner feeling and an inner necessity and only afterwards an external manifestation of it is born.

M. Laitman: Okay, you got me.

Student: Baal HaSulam says it a different way for me: It evokes rejection to hear that we need to reach a common necessity. In the end he says an equal standard of living for all, it really evokes rejection and resistance.

M. Laitman: Okay.

Student: Unless there is a feeling of this one family first.

M. Laitman: It could be possible, I don't know, just understand. You're asking me and I'm also not in it. We'll learn and we'll try to let it pass over us, and give us this future form, and from that we'll see the changes and decide.

Student: The question is, on the macro level, if we look at it, the difference between the communism that they tried to implement. At first they enacted these laws without the feeling existing in the heart of man, we see that that failed. Compared to here, throughout everything we read here in the process, it says that first there has to be a feeling in the man's heart. And then as a result of that feeling in the man's heart, there are external expressions of it.

M. Laitman: That's why, don't jump, sit and listen. How long? Many, maybe a few years.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (30:37) A few lessons ago I asked you, we are the last generation, if we are the last generation, you said, no. So, first of all, what does it mean, the last generation? What is a generation? We know that the generation is 25 years, if you put it in numbers. What is this concept of a generation, what is that?

M. Laitman: A generation is a number of people, and there's no such definition, really. But they live according to a certain standard of living, a certain feeling of nature, acceptance of the laws of nature, more or less a unified, homogenous way, they understand one another. This is called a generation.

Student: So, when there will be such a society that you're talking about, which is called the last generation, what does it mean, the last generation? What is after the last generation?

M. Laitman: There will be nothing, it will seemingly reach a state where it can bring itself to the top, the apex. The state where there are no other laws of nature except for the ones He arranges, establishes.

Student: In fact, what are we studying the last generation writings if this is not us?

M. Laitman: It's not us, for certain, we are perhaps at the beginning of the path, the beginning of the last generation.

Student: So, actually, what is our role? To understand how to pass it on?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: To whom?

M. Laitman: To ourselves and to anyone who's coming to us.

Student: What in fact can we ourselves do, today, in order for us to be the beginning of the last generation?

M. Laitman: To work on ourselves, to adapt ourselves to the conditions, the laws, the framework of the last generation.

Student: In our Ten, we said that if we might even play such a game that we have a common money.

M. Laitman: Rabash was against it.

Student: But it gives you a certain feeling of resistance.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Immediately, we felt resistance.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (33:40) If I can ask more about this matter of an equal standard of living for all. People in the normal, egoistic society are motivated to accrue as much as possible, accrue money and build buildings. In order for a person to elevate himself, to agree to an equal standard of living, materialistically, he needs to want a higher goal. Because a person always wants, he's not a creature that remains on the same level. So, in order to reach a state where in the society people agree to be on such a normal level and that's it. They have to be in a way that their whole drive, their passion has to be towards a goal which is above the material.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Okay. Now, he writes later on in the same item that there has to be a guaranteed fuel. Is this what it means, a fuel that elevates a person so that he searches for a goal which is above the material?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Okay, another question about that: Today we exist in such a world that, actually, we have everything. Many analysts show that nothing is missing, nothing is lacking, not energy, nor food. Just as an example, between 30 and 50 percent of all the food production is thrown away. While half the world is hungry. So, the problem is only in the distribution not with the resources. Now, in order for the world, today, to reach a distribution where there's enough, where we give what we have to everyone. What is needed is also some sort of a general systematic global planning. Is this also something that needs to happen, meaning some sort of a global government?

M. Laitman: Of course, one depends on another.

Student: So, in the process that Baal HaSulam describes, there also has to be some sort of a central place for, you know, monitoring and planning for the whole world?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Reading Continues: (36:15) Item H (8).

H) The economic and religious form that guarantees communism will be the same for all the nations. Except for religious forms, which do not concern the economy and other conducts, each will have its own form, which must not be changed at all. Again, H) The economic and religious form that guarantees communism will be the same for all the nations. Except for religious forms, which do not concern the economy and other conducts, each will have its own form, which must not be changed at all.

M. Laitman: Is that clear? No questions on that?

Reading Continues: (37:29) Item I (9)

I) The world must not be corrected in religious matters before economic correction is guaranteed for the entire world. Again, I) The world must not be corrected in religious matters before economic correction is guaranteed for the entire world.

M. Laitman: Yes, meaning the most important thing is the economy. That it should follow the desire of the society with the correction, and everything will tick as it needs to. And inside of that, at the same time, there can be groups or something where they keep for themselves all kinds of other different forms between them.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (38:23) I can't seem to understand this point: How can you fix the economy if the society is not corrected because the economy is a reflection of society. And how can you correct the society if everyone is egoistic? Everything depends on everything, it's not clear to me how you can decide that something can be corrected first and then the rest can be corrected. It needs to be an inclusive process.

M. Laitman: What we correct is the connection between people and this depends only on the extent to which everyone decides, unanimously, about the desired result.

Student: How will you bring everyone to the side unanimously? To reach such a decision, you need to be somewhat, corrected.

M. Laitman: Yes, to a certain extent, in degrees; this is how we advance.

Student: So it has to be a state where the economy is corrected to some extent, not completely, only the next degree. And then the rest of the society is brought to that degree and then we get the next degree again through the economy, and in this way?

M. Laitman: Yes. I'm afraid to allow you to say anything. You take it in some direction. Well, go ahead.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (40:16) He's speaking of fuel. Fuel, as I understand, is pleasure, the provider of fuel is the Creator. There's the channel, which is the people of Israel, and there's the nations of the world. In this trio, the one who's not corrected is the people of Israel. Now, we're speaking as if the nations are not corrected, we need to prepare them. They have to do all kinds of things for this system to exist. I understood that things cannot be upheld because of Israel, not because of the nations, because of the channel, the pipeline.

M. Laitman: Well?

Student: That's my question, we are discussing as if something has happened with the nations, that they are somehow wrong. And not that the channel, the conduit, which is Israel, is not doing its job properly.

M. Laitman: Well, we will see. We don't have enough data, so far.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (41:22) To continue what the friend just asked, I don't understand: If the religion is the religion of bestowal and the basis for a decision is working according to his ability and receiving according to his needs. So, how can it happen that we'll first need economic correction? I think, the other way around?

M. Laitman: Well, this could mean that the economy would be capable of providing everyone altogether what they demand.

Student: Meaning relate to it like some form of necessity, and then a person can dedicate some time to other things.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Reading Continues: (42:10) Item J (10).

J) There should be a detailed program from all the above-mentioned rules and the rest of the rules necessary in this regard. Anyone who comes under the framework of communism must take a solemn oath.

M. Laitman: Okay. This is clear to us.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (42:39) Material abundance and economic comfort is a condition for people to enter communism.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Reading Continues: (42:55) Item K (11).

K) First, there must be a small establishment whose majority are altruists to the above-mentioned extent. This means that they will work as diligently as contract workers, ten to twelve hours a day and more. Each and every one will work according to his ability and receive according to his needs.

It will have all the forms of government of a state. In this manner, even if the framework of this institution contains the entire world, and the brute-force government will be revoked completely, nothing will need to change in governance or work.

This institution will be like a global focal point with nations and states surrounding it to the farthest corners of the world. All who enter this framework of communism will have the same program and the same leadership as the center. They will be as one nation in profits, losses, and results.

M. Laitman: This is clear, yes? This is written for us by a Kabbalist out of his attainment. Not some person that it seems to him this way, a philosopher or something.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (44:58) A goal that is not in Lishma, that is still egoistic, but that each one accepts upon himself that no one will lack anything material, corporeal. Meaning society works to ensure there is abundance for everyone, that there is no lack. That should be a clear goal for such a society?

M. Laitman: Yes?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (45:29) I wanted to ask about the thought. What kind of change of thought a person has to go through? What is the thought about another person before the big things have to change?

M. Laitman: Well, what is clear to you from the text?

Student: Well, it’s not clear.

M. Laitman: Well, so we need to talk between us until it becomes clear.

Student: How does it work, the system the way Rabash writes about it? The connection between the friends, the adhesion, such a way that ideas and thoughts pass from one another?

M. Laitman: Yes?

Student: What should I be thinking about? How can I increase a good thought about the friend, about the other?

M. Laitman: By wanting it to happen, we say that the desire is what works. That by you speaking with the friend, and in general, even having some connection with him, even that is unrelated to the point. But you want it to happen, that a change would occur in him towards a third person; by that you influence him.

Student: And such thought travels from one to another?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (47:03)There’s a process that's undergoing here or should go through in reality.

M. Laitman: Yes?

Student: How is this mechanism, that starts from a small organization, what did he call it, a small establishment? How those who are not in the communist game will not just fight it and destroy it, and keep going? It sounds like this thing called communism. In my mind, it sounds very weak relative to an egoistic nation that will come attack it and try to destroy it. I can't understand how those who are not playing the game, because it's describing a process where gradually each nation will join. How those who are not part of it yet will let this thing exist, and not simply fight against it and destroy it?

M. Laitman: I think that it will happen because we are not in a void, in space. We exist in a nature called what, God. And as much as we want to connect to Godliness, it operates on us and compels us to change according to it. This is how it will happen.

Student: For those who want this process, what about those who are outside of this process?

M. Laitman: They will feel that they exist in some corrupted way where things are not working for them. And that, too, will force them to change.

Student: There will be a state where part of this reality will be in this new communism and the part that isn't. And the part that isn't, will aspire to be with the other guys and not fight against them.

M. Laitman: Maybe. We will see that later on. We will see what he writes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (49:21) I want to ask all the laws that he is writing about in the corrected society, in the communist society. Can change the world. The communist society, where people live according to the laws of mutual guarantee, giving, giving in the form of love?

M. Laitman: You're right that in a communistic society mainly it means that they keep the laws of Arvut, mutual guarantee but there's more to it. I don't know, should I just give you the approval to replace these terms?

Student: Because when you're working according to the laws of Arvut, it means that you're getting the light, the Torah, they enjoy. You don't need a regime, the laws of love are at work.

M. Laitman: Okay, well we will see, we will read more. Where are we?

Reading Continues: (50:36) Item L. (12).

L) It is absolutely forbidden for anyone from the institution to turn to any of the judicial establishment or any of the forms existing in the brute-force regime. Every conflict is to be resolved among themselves, meaning between the concerned parties. Public opinion, which condemns egoism, will condemn the guilty party for exploiting the righteousness of his friend.

M. Laitman: This is clear. Next.

Reader: Item M. It is a fact that the Jews

Reading Continues: (51:20) Item M (13).

M) It is a fact that the Jews are hated by most nations and are made fewer by them. It is true for the religious, the secular, and the communists. There is no tactic to fight against it except to bring true altruistic morals into the heart of the nations, to the point of cosmopolitanism.

Reader: I will read it again.

M. Laitman: Again, or next?

Reader: Again.

Re-Reading: (52:12) Item M (13).

M) It is a fact that the Jews are hated by most nations, and are made fewer by them. It is true for the religious, the secular, and the communists. There is no tactic to fight against it except to bring true altruistic morals into the heart of the nations, to the point of cosmopolitanism.

M. Laitman: Next.

Reading Continues: (52:51) Item N (14).

N) If one is forbidden to exploit one’s friends, why should a nation be allowed to exploit its fellow nations? What justifies one nation enjoying the land more than other nations? Therefore, international communism must be instituted.

As there are individuals who have been privileged by diligence, chance, or inheritance from ancestry, to a greater share than the negligent, so it is among the nations. Hence, why should war against individuals be greater than against nations?

M. Laitman: Okay. There aren't so many questions, so next.

Reading Continues: (54:01) Item O (15).

O) If you lived on an island of savages that you could not bring to law and order except through religion, would you doubt it and let them destroy one another? Similarly, with regard to altruism, they are all savages, and there is no tactic they will accept unless through religion. Who would hesitate to abandon them to destroy each other with hydrogen bombs?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Reading Continues: (54:42) Item P (16).

P) There are three bases to the expansion of faith: 1) Satisfaction of Desires, 2) Proofs, 3) Propaganda.

1. “Desires” is like the perpetuating of the soul, a reward, as well as a national reward, which is the glorification of the nation.

2. “Proofs” is that the world cannot exist without it, much less in the days of the atom ...

3. “Propaganda” can be used instead of proof, if it is done with diligence.

M. Laitman: Questions, well?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (55:42) How can a group that's not liked by the world be able to disseminate its ideas?

M. Laitman: I didn't understand.

Student: How can a group that more, correctly, is hated by most of the world can disseminate its ideas? Who's going to listen to it?

M. Laitman: You're right, you are right. Apparently, we need to dress in something.

Student: He gives these three bases to the expansion. He talks about these things you can talk about. But how can that reach the ears of people who really want to listen?

M. Laitman: Yes, I don't know, we need to try to somehow, do it in different forms, such manners of propaganda and see how it works. We need to get into it and see to what extent it is possible to use them.

Student: Do we need to try and be “more pretty, more beautiful” toward the outside? In other words, this group has to present itself as more pleasant?

M. Laitman: Yes, that's clear.

Student: To try to be like that?

M. Laitman: Yes, that we will be viewed and behave in a way that is more according to what is customary in humanity.

Student: And then the ability to explain will clothe us a bit better.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (57:54) What does it mean, the expansion of faith?

M. Laitman: It's in a later stage: The expansion of faith means that we will be able to talk about faith and people will understand us and come closer.

Student: When he writes faith, what kind of faith does he refer to?

M. Laitman: Not above reason.

Student: So, what is the faith that he's writing about?

M. Laitman: Mainly, what exists in the world.

Student: In the world, you have general faith, you believe in something.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, where do you want to bring the masses to believe, to believe in what?

M. Laitman: Believe in the upper force.

Student: How is it different than above reason?

M. Laitman: No, above reason is a totally different degree. That's not for everyone.

Student: So, what does it mean that the world believes in the upper force?

M. Laitman: That they're willing, to a certain extent, to sacrifice themselves in order to do something for the sake of the upper force.

Student: What's the expression for it? Does it exist only in the form of an idea and do you package it?

M. Laitman: Yes?

Student: When he writes about the need for certain desires, certain passions, like the enrichment of the soul. What is a passion for the upper force?

M. Laitman: I don't know, let's advance, we will feel it, and then we will be able to talk in a more tangible way.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:00:31) He says that the proof that the world cannot exist without it. What can bring such proof?

M. Laitman: That people understand that without faith, it will bring them a satisfaction of their desires. Without fulfilling themselves through faith, it will be impossible for them to keep the laws of faith. This, let's say, is called, a satisfaction of desires.

Student: But when you say proof, proof is something tangible, that is inarguable. Everybody agrees about it.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So what is proof that the world cannot exist without it, much less in the days of the atom?

M. Laitman: Well, you can say that about the communistic regime, about the connection. That if we achieve it, there is no more. We have reached the purpose of creation.

Student: So, that the world cannot exist without it, meaning that the world cannot exist without this regime, that there is no existence without it?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Communist regime?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:02:17) Baal HaSulam didn't speak about it until a few items when he mentioned the Jews. The beginning of this process has to happen in Israel or maybe in some other nation?

M. Laitman: We will read and see.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:02:40) When he writes that you have to bring altruistic morals, does it mean just the knowledge of the structure of altruism or also the feeling?

M. Laitman: I think that the emotion as well, the feeling. Okay, so next?

Reader: We will continue with the next part.

M. Laitman: That's it? Yes, what is the next part?
