Daily Morning Lesson: November 30, 2025

Part 1: Recorded lesson - Nov 1, 2020

Excerpts from the sources: “Work with Faith Above Reason”. #63

Reader: Hello. In the first part of the lesson, we will study a lesson from November 1st, 2020. The topic is the “Work with Faith Above Reason.” We'll be reading select excerpts from the sources, continuing with excerpt number 63.

Reader: Hello, we are reading selected excerpts on the topic of “Faith Above Reason.” We are in item 63. This is from Rabash.

M. Laitman: We need to get a little deeper into the work in faith above reason. So let us try and understand that our work is taking place on both sides. We receive the good force and the bad force from the same source, the Creator. So let us relate equally both to the good and the bad force that come from Him. And through these two forces, He wishes to arrange us in the middle line by which we can come directly to Him. With one force, we know from our world, we can’t reach anything.

There have to be two discernments, light and darkness, plus and minus, a thing and its opposite, as we say. Hence, those who wish to advance correctly towards the goal, the good and bad force have to be equal. He receives them from the Creator. He relates equally to both. The important thing for him is to be adhered to the source of these two forces. That's how we'll advance then, reveal Him, understand Him, feel Him, and unite with Him. Hence, we see it in many verses - you have day and you have night, and the darkness will shine as light, and so forth.

Ultimately we have to reach a state where all the time our attitude towards bad and good will be equal, as two equals; not that one is bad and one is good, rather both are used to bring us to the Creator, to adhesion, hence both are equal. And the bad is even more so, because we'll see it, that's how we're built from the outset in our tiny egoistic will to receive. So, the evil, the bad, helps us aim ourselves correctly towards the Creator. Therefore, let us enter these verses and see how helpful they are in shaping our view on creation in a healthy way, serious way, that everything that comes to us comes from that source, and all that comes was created so that we would reach directly, and as quickly as possible, to the purpose of adhesion.

Reader: Again, selected excerpts on the topic of the “Work with Faith Above Reason,” item 63. Rabash writes:

Reading: (04:08) 63. Rabash. Article 68, “The Order of the Work”

When one believes in the delight and pleasure that exists in above reason, he comes to consciously feel, to know the evil within him. That is, he believes that the Creator imparts such delight and pleasure, and although he sees all the good above reason, he achieves recognition. That is, he feels in all the organs the power of the evil that is found in receiving for oneself, which prevents him from receiving the abundance.

It follows that faith above reason causes him to feel his enemy within reason—who obstructs him from reaching the good. This is his standard. That is, to the extent that he believes in the delight and pleasure above reason, to that extent he can come to feel the recognition of evil.

Later, sensing the bad yields the sensation of delight and pleasure, since the recognition of evil in the sensation of the organs causes him to correct the bad.

This is done primarily through prayer, when he asks the Creator to give everything in bestowal, called Dvekut [adhesion]. Through these Kelim [vessels], the goal will be revealed in open Providence, meaning that there will be no need for the concealment because there will already be Kelim that are able to receive.

M. Laitman: (06:07) Here we can see a small opening to reach the feeling of the true reality. If we disconnect from the current reality and wish to imagine everything as coming from one source, from the Good Who Does Good, and I wish to adhere to Him, and when I try to do it to constantly be in the good force that works in reality. Then from that degree, that level, that observation point, I begin to locate, detect the bad force that doesn't let look at the world and see the influence of the good force in it. And then, and only then, do I begin to identify the bad. The bad is not that something bad appears in the world and I see it. It’s rather a purposeful bad, the bad is that which doesn't let me feel that the Creator is running the world in Good Who Does Good.

In this way I advance, and I wish to arrange my view in this way. Then, more and more, I am connected to the good Creator and the evil force that appears I see as help against, that helps me reveal the Creator even more as the good force, and that's how I advance. Meaning, I advance in the right, always on the right. By taking my point of advancement as being that I'm connected to the Creator as Good Who Does Good, None Else Besides Him, and that's how I wish to see everything in the world. And all the things that I see in all of reality, both in me and around me, I see them as not good, as incorrect, as not suitable for the providence of Good Who Does Good; it's all because the Creator is purposely doing these things to me.

So, in spite of what I see, I will say, “They have eyes but they cannot see,” and I will try in those states, in those places, those instances, to bring specifically the force of the Creator to be revealed on top of all the negative evil forces that He himself revealed to me, so I can forcefully bring Him to rule over those negative forces.

Question (USA Northeast): (09:37) In our work and faith above reason, how do we keep the ego from being dismissive of others whom we may have hurt, even though we know there are no others? How do we keep the ego from making None Else Besides Him a Klipa?

M. Laitman: I see the others, meaning, still in my perception they appear until I ascribe everything to the Creator, they seemingly exist. That's why I have to arrange my attitude towards these others. I'm not yet in a state where I feel the world as one man. What kind of fantasy is that? Is he in such an illusion already? We have to ask according to our own reality, and not according to what's written somewhere.

Student: How do we keep the ego from making None Else Besides Him a Klipa? Like, “Oh, there is none else besides Him”, so feelings of guilt may come up because you hurt someone. How do we keep the ego from just being dismissive of others?

M. Laitman: Okay, he's asking correctly. I started by saying that, first of all, we organize and arrange all of reality as being all the Creator, and He is Good who does good, and there is none else besides Him. And He's showing us the picture of the end of correction, except for the bad things that we see. These bbad things we need to detect before us and say that this is my ego, this is my ego depicting these things to me. And in those instances where the Creator arranged my ego, these black spots in reality, I have to bring Him forcefully to rule over it, to ask of Him, and that's how we gradually reveal the corrections.

But I begin from the starting assumption that the world is all good, and then I look at the world and I see that it's 99% bad, so I have to bring to all those states, the rule, the authority of the Creator. This is our work, but start from I'm grasping Him, I'm holding onto Him, and I want to see all the good, that He is controlling all reality. And wherever those patches appear, where He's not in authority there, these egoistic patches, I am asking for corrections there. It's still not faith above reason, but it's along the way.

Question (Heb 10): (14:18) What is the prayer that Rabash refers to, that He will give everything in bestowal? What does that mean?

M. Laitman: Read the full line.

Student: Because the recognition of evil in the organs causes him to correct the evil, and it's mostly through prayer that he will ask the Creator to give everything in bestowal.

M. Laitman: When we feel that not everything is inside There is None Else Besides Him. Rather, we detect these states where it is not the Creator who's in control, but the ego is. And I feel it since I can't justify creation, I can't agree with creation. It turns out that I’m then asking the Creator to show me that there's None Else Besides Him, that I want Him to control this picture that I have of reality.

Question (PT 32): (15:38) How to reach a state where it's really felt in all the organs, because in the mind or even in the feeling it's there, but it's not painful to the point that there's prayer.

M. Laitman: Exercises only. That's what I started to explain. In what way can we have these exercises in order to determine that we are in faith above reason, in None Else Besides Him.

Question (Holland 1): (16:17) It's written in the excerpt that our standard is feeling this bad and to the sensation of delight and pleasure, because from this we can do correction. What do we add here when we are above the Machsom? In the excerpt it is written that we come to the standard of recognition of evil as feeling good, because we know that we have something to correct, that we can correct. What do we add when we are above the Machsom?

M. Laitman: After the barrier? I don't want to talk about what happens after the barrier. I want to talk about what belongs to the here and now. Why is he fantasizing about what's going to happen after the barrier?

Student: It's not a fantasy, it's only that this work, it seems to me that this is our work, and it's spiritual work, and we are doing it now. So what's in front of us then?

M. Laitman: Before us is to determine that there is None Else Besides Him. And all the thoughts and instances, negative occurrences that we feel, we need to also ascribe them to the Creator, to there is None Else Besides Him; and come to such a form in relating everything to the upper force, that we live in it, we feel that that's how it is.

There is one single force and according to the negative forces that appear, we try to establish them and connect them to that upper force. Since He is showing us these negative instances, because by that He awakens us to be more and more in adhesion to Him, and to justify this providence in two lines.

Student: Kabbalists explain to us always that this Machsom, this sometimes is explained as a psychological barrier that's really like the difference between day and night. But when we are reading these excerpts and we relate it to our current work in the Ten, it appears that we are sometimes already in spiritual engagements.

M. Laitman: We have no connection to the Machsom, to the barrier. Still, I don't understand why he’s stuck on that. We're not connected to that barrier yet. The barrier is the boundary that I cross to faith above reason. We do not have that point yet.

Question (Turkiye 2): (20:36) What does it mean to submit to the revealing evil and good pleasures?

M. Laitman: I subjugate my ego, which is not letting me see that everything is run by one force. There are no two forces. There's not even my own force, rather everything is the Creator. To the extent I can imagine reality or depict reality in this way, then I'll see that it is only the Creator, only one force, and I'm included in it, together with the friends that are helping me, the group, everything that's going on. That's what we're talking about. That's what I need to reach, to determine that there's None Else Besides Him, and He's the Good Who Does Good.

Meaning all the negative things that appear, are so that I will clarify them and discover that they are bringing me closer to the Creator. Otherwise, they are not awakened. There's no bad in the world, no evil, only in this way to show us where we need to advance towards the Creator.

Question (Kyiv 1): (22:28) What to do so that the Creator will truly rule the picture?

M. Laitman: We are studying from that each and every day. So, when we come to the lesson we have to aim ourselves. When I wake up from sleep let's say, then I rise, I need to establish myself, arrange myself correctly in reality. I'm in a world where a single force is operating.

What does it want from me? How does it influence me? How is it confusing me in order to arrange me more correctly with each passing day in a more real reality? And I feel He's doing these exercises with me, just like we're making these exercises with little kids to help them grow correctly. And I feel that's what the Creator is doing to me. On the one hand, it's relating to me in love. On the other hand, He awakens in me various feelings, negative instances, so I would arrange myself correctly; first of all, in that it's all coming from the Creator, from the Good Who Does Good, and in order to aim me at the correct purpose of life, to bring me to the Good Who Does Good; and also how I can realize it, implement it by seeing how all reality is made, so I will use it correctly, and in it I discover this upper force. Gradually, this is the force of scrutiny that I have to exercise, and each day I'm studying anew, and what I've done yesterday is not helping me with today. On the contrary, if I succeeded yesterday, today I raise myself to a higher degree where there are more powerful or harsher forces that I have to work with and unify them, both the good and the bad.

Student: So, is there a certain moment where there will be a Masach over everything? Because today, it turns out that you just kind of plug some holes here and there.

M. Laitman: From the work that we're going to do in this way, we're going to feel, more and more, means at our disposal to arrange these things correctly. But it's all going to be from experience, from your experience. It's not like something's going to fall, drop on you from above, but by going through those states, you'll feel how to correctly arrange your attitude towards reality, where you describe, depict reality as existing between you and the Creator, until you ascribe all of reality to Him alone. And then all this reality will disappear, and all that will be left is the Creator.

Question (PT 24): (26:02) You said that there is None Else Besides Him and that two forces disappear, can you explain that?

M. Laitman: There are no two forces?

Student: Well, if I heard correctly, you said There's None Else Besides Him only, and there are no two forces.

M. Laitman: No, no, the fact that you're ascribing these two forces, right and left, light and darkness, to one source.

Student: To one source. So it sounds as though…

M. Laitman: There's no good or bad, but both are working to bring you to the goal.

Student: Is this a matter of attainment, or we have to just embrace this line of thought?

M. Laitman: Attainment is not exactly as we feel it right now. Attainment comes to emotional vessels that we arrange correctly as a result of our adhesion in the Creator. Attainment comes from that.

Question (ITA 4): (27:17) Reaching the work above reason, it's clear we need to do it, but how do we use the world outside the Ten to reach adhesion with the Creator?

M. Laitman: Gradually, when you have a clear Ten, a corrected Ten, then you'll begin to reveal there the connection between you, and from the connection with you, between you, also the beginning of the connection with the Creator. Then you'll begin to expand accordingly. But this is not our reality yet, not yet. Besides that, we haven't attained the discernments of faith above reason. We have to enter this and begin to detect it. Faith above reason begins when we ascribe everything that's happening to us to the Creator alone, only to the Creator. That's how it all starts. And then the left line appears, called reason, and we have to constantly raise the force of faith, ascribe ourselves to the Creator more and more, and in this way we are building faith above reason.

Question (Ashkelon 2): (28:55) Why is gratitude so important and necessary in our work, especially in relating everything to None Else Besides Him? Why is gratitude so important?

M. Laitman: Gratitude has to come from within the heart, as an eruption of the heart, and not something that you force yourself to do. True gratitude is a feeling you have in your heart toward the Creator. It could be toward the friends, toward the group, where you simply break out from this good feeling towards the friends, the group, or the Creator, it's not that you are obligated to do it. It's a result of your good deeds. When you begin to recognize what the Creator is doing for you, then this gratitude comes to you. And you're not forcing yourself to do it. It's not like you're writing in your journal, that today, from ten to eleven A.M., I have to have feelings of gratitude.

Question (UK): (30:28) If the friend feels that from day to day he's going further away from the right form, how does he begin to ask, how to start your day with, “If not for myself, then who?” Because every day, it's like less and less.

M. Laitman: The fact that we're starting each day like dead animals, is natural. Because it's truly the beginning of our new degree.

So when I wake up, I told you about Rabash, he would get up like that. He goes to the bathroom, he washes his hands, his face, he sits down by the table. I bring him a cup of coffee, I place it before him. He's seated. He's dead. Nothing is happening, a piece of meat. We don't know the states that great Kabbalists start their degree from. Then he sits there, he sips. He's not looking at anything, he can't see anything, and I'm reading, I begin to read.

And then gradually, he wakes up, wakes up, his eyes open. The body starts to make certain movements. He feels the spirit of life entering. You see a man that was in the grave, and how he's coming out of it. He begins to feel creation as someone who's in it, in the middle of all the worlds. And it was extremely difficult for him, a great effort. But that's for very high degrees, just like we learn about the students of Rabbi Shimon, who would gather for the lesson in a state where they wish to kill one another.

So, what are you talking about here? I mean, relative to your degree, it's also something. But wait, just wait. We need to reveal everything from the darkness. Hence, there's no point complaining about it. Rather, look for means that could help you when you wake up in the morning or during the day, when you're disconnected from our path, how do you bring yourself quickly back on track? Maybe songs, a verse that you're preparing in advance before you go to bed, and so on and so forth. Find those means. Nothing is more effective than the group, when you connect to one another and awaken one another.

Someone in your Ten should take turns, this usher, that needs to awaken everyone. Like in the army, like a sergeant that has to talk to you for a few seconds, and tell you you have to wake up, like soldiers, to the work of the Creator. Then advance towards the purpose of creation. Try it.

Student: Let's say, we don't let ourselves come too close to each other, like send messages to our phones, because it's a different part of the friend's life.

M. Laitman: I don't know what you're talking about. The different part of the life of the friend, I don't understand what you're saying. I don't know this. You're British, you need to do everything with white gloves on, in certain subordination, in certain etiquette has to be there. You have to feel a distance from one another, you can't come close more than two meters. I understand it's because of the virus, but maybe because of something else, that you can't come close. There's no such thing in spirituality, you have to be as one man in one heart.

Hence, when we are speaking of such conditions as accepted or not accepted in your society, I don't want to hear about it. We have a codex, there are several conditions for nearing that are a little different, until there's no more distance between us, emotionally of course, not physical. I would feel the other is dwelling in my heart.

Look what Rabash is writing about it. How he writes when he was writing from abroad, that “I feel that there's no distance between us, and the outstretched land separates us, does not exist, and I feel the friend standing in my heart, and I'm happy about it. I rejoice about this feeling,” and so on and so forth. Can't you just say it to one another, if you have such conditions? It's not customary? Then you're not even on the path with us.

Question (Latin 7): (37:21) How can we interpret all the things that are requested of me and my friends in order to carry out the gathering of friends?

M. Laitman: I simply agree with everyone. I think your problem is that you're not connected enough, you're not speaking enough. We have to talk less, but on point, and not just all around. On point means when will we feel ourselves as feeling in one heart. One heart the heart understands. But according to the understanding and to the feeling, we'll feel that we are in one desire. One desire to such an extent that I don't even need to speak to the friends. Everything is clear to us, the goal, our state. I understand the friend, he understands me, we are in a single state. What separates us? And all those things that we feel that separate us, they're all corporeal things that, after all, disappear. Spirituality is such, that that means that we have to be in one feeling, period.

Question (Tel Aviv 1): (39:10) How do we know when we made a true ascent that it's a real one and not some illusion the ego is setting up for us so that we feel good about ourselves?

M. Laitman: If you yearn to feel all reality as something that's governed, run by the Creator, the true Creator, and the Good Who Does Good. All the bad things that you feel, you understand that it's all because you did not arrange the relationships between you relative to the Creator, then you are working correctly. You need to connect even more and connect even more with the Creator, and connect even more, come to know even more that there is None Else Besides Him until you feel throughout the whole world that there is only a good force; there's no one evil, nothing bad, to that extent. This is of course the ideal form, but that's the direction, that's the direction to which we need to connect, to come close to.

Student: Why does every ascent you experience as a failure?

M. Laitman: I don't understand, what do you mean every ascent is a failure? I'm telling you again, first of all we have to arrange before us that this is the Creator, the Good Who Does Good, who's running all of reality, arranging it.

That's why we're in a state, in a good state, the world is entirely good, although we can't see it, they have eyes but they can't see. Now we will see it, compared to the good state, if we would feel it, all of it in bestowal and love, but things are we seeing are opposite; and we have to ask the Creator to correct our vessels of reception so we would see everything is good, since everything depends on Him.

All the evil is what He is arranging for us, so we would ask in return for Him to arrange everything as good. There's nothing more than that, so try to work that properly.

Question (French): (41:52) It is written that it turns out that the faith above reason causes one to feel within reason his enemy. How do you explain that the work in faith above reason causes you to feel something within reason?

M. Laitman: As much as I am trying to raise myself to faith above reason, meaning the degree of the spiritual world, then I begin to discover how much the corporeal information is holding me from reaching adhesion with the Creator. That's it. Faith above reason means to be in the degree of Bina, bestowal, and coming out of myself toward the Creator, toward the other. And the evil inclination is revealed, but exactly the evil inclination, not something corporeal, but the evil inclination is revealed, the thing that is preventing me from reaching Bina from Malchut.

Question (Moscow 6): (43:15) When we come to love of others, the shame disappears or it's always there?

M. Laitman: Shame becomes honor.

Question (Tel Aviv 10): (43:42) Coping with the ego becomes tougher and tougher. How to deal with it when I feel I only want to escape from the friends and I feel far from them?

M. Laitman: Run away. You want to hear my advice? Run away. If you're asking such questions, then you should run away and don't ask anything. What should I do if each time my ego is telling me to run away? So run away, if that's how you're asking. Because if you're not hearing what we're talking about, what we're learning about.

Question (Tel Aviv 3): (44:36) When I see the others are suffering and everything is bad in the world, I need to justify it as well and say everything is corrections?

M. Laitman: Of course, it's all corrections and it's all your corrections. There's no world. You see the world. It's you who see your qualities, your belly, your guts. You see them on the outside of you. Your entire will to receive is what you're seeing all over the world. And then you see how your will to receive is still bad. And then you look at it and you think, I have to reach a state where I'll see the whole world at the end of correction? This is the meaning of correcting myself? That's how I should look around and see it? Could it be? Is it possible? So Kabbalists are saying, yes, it is possible. Until you reveal the world, the good world, all of it is good, and there's None Else Besides Him dwelling in it. So start working in the way that we're talking about it.

Question (Unity 4): (46:10) How to awaken the spirit of the Ten and the true reality in the morning lesson?

M. Laitman: Get up an hour earlier and start to work. I don't know how to do it. Honestly, I'm preparing myself using the various means. I used to tell you how Rabash would get up, how difficult it was for him. He would go take walks sometimes before the lesson. One, two kilometers he would walk on foot, drink coffee, think, sing, sing. Yes, he would sit like that and sing various such melodies of Baal HaSulam, of his own that move him, that awaken the heart. Because when a person wakes up, his heart is just a piece of engine. But to begin to awaken him to these unnatural feelings, spiritual feelings, that's a problem. And then gradually he hears the songs that he is singing, and then gradually that's what he's doing. You remember how the Baal Shem Tov woke up after receiving a descent? His assistant started to tell him, “Aleph, Bet..,” the letters, then the words, and then he finally woke up and reached his degree again. It's not simple. This is the true spiritual work. It's not that we would learn by heart what's written there, or just study the TES and all the laws of how this is going up and this is coming down, and you don't feel those ascents and descents this is a smart guy. But only when we scrutinize between us these states and want them to exist between us.

Question (Baltia 3): (48:58) How to correctly ask so that along with the requests, there will also be an agreement with that state?

M. Laitman: Without it, there's no request. Since if I'm not being grateful for the treatment by the Creator and what I received from Him, my request to Him is not a request, but rather it's like a demand. I come to Him and I punish Him for what's happening. I don't need to do that. I come to him as the Good Who Does Good. Otherwise, whom am I coming to? I'm asking Him to make corrections because I understand that He's doing these corrections for my sake, just like He did all the bad in me, also for my sake. In this way, above the evil, I will reveal the good, and I'll be standing in the middle of creation and understand it from one end to another. So, I have to come to Him in a state where I'm in complete agreement with everything He's done to me thus far. I'm simply asking, “Give me the second half of creation, that I will be a bestower like you, that by that I'll feel You, understand You, be like You. But what You've done, I recognize it, I understand it, I admit that it's all for my sake.” If I don't come to Him in this way, who is the Good That Does Good? There's no one to turn to. That's why I don't receive an answer from Him. Spirituality is a system, a field of laws, and I need to use these laws correctly, like in a computer. If I input the right command it responds, and it does what I want. And if I cannot input the correct input, then I don't feel any answer. That's why we have to arrange ourselves correctly before the Creator, that there's None Else Besides Him, the Good Who Does Good, and He works for our sake. We come to ask of Him, we rely on that, and we ask for the corrections in order to be closer to Him, to delight Him.

Reader: We are going to summarize the main things we heard in the lesson now.

Reader: And we're going to move to the next part of the lesson with a song.
