Part 1: Rabash. Article No. 22, 1990. What Is The Order In Blotting Out Amalek?

Reader: Shalom, we are going to be reading the Rabash article number 22. “What Is the Order in Blotting Out Amalek?” You can find the article in Rabash Writings, as well as on the Arvut system. The article, “What Is the Order In Blotting Out Amalek?”

Reader: (00:37) “The Zohar says in the portion...”

M. Laitman: (46:50) Does anyone want to say anything?

Question (Women PT 23): (47:05) It's written, and the reward and Moses hid his face where he feared to look and he was rewarded with the image of the Lord where he beheld. What can we understand that in our concealment?

M. Laitman: In the work between us, it's the will to receive. It should not be revealed to receive, but rather it should be revealed in the opposite manner, in order to bestow which we don't have but we make out of the will to receive, the will to bestow.

Question (PT 22): (47:50) What does the help from above to blot out Amalek depend upon?

M. Laitman: It's not good that I'm answering, maybe you should also answer. Well, who knows how to answer? Quickly.

Student: If Amalek lowers the importance and greatness of the Creator for us and we have pain from that, that we're not succeeding, then there's the prayer for the Creator to help us. There needs to be pain from us constantly having a lower importance and greatness of the Creator.

M. Laitman: Okay, is that it? Next.

Student: (PT 22): (48:50) Does a person have the forces to blot out Amalek?

M. Laitman: That is also a question. I don't think that he does but the Creator has it and everything depends on our appeal but the Creator tells us, blot out the memory of Amalek from beneath the heavens do not forget about it, so how come the Creator turns to us and He tells us to do that? By what can we blot out, wipe out the memory of Amalek? Well?

Student: We need to express a desire for it. That's exactly what he's explaining throughout the article, that a person needs to observe Torah and Mitzvot due to him being great and ruling and that he wants to go above reason. Specifically in that point, it will weaken Amalek but a person needs to express the desire to do it this way and work this way and then he can turn to the Creator to help him.

M. Laitman: More?

Student: By the society, meaning a person knows that he's weak, he recognizes that he's weak and he knows that he needs something that will help him and what will help him is the society, because the environment is always stronger, always stronger than his will to receive and he subjugates before the society and that's what helps him.

Student: Can I ask?

M. Laitman: Do you have an answer?

Student: No, I wanted to ask.

Student: He writes here only through prayer so he will help us to not listen to the voice of Amalek that he wants to go against?

M. Laitman: Yes, that is true.

Student: Yes, he writes, a person sees that besides prayer to pray to the Creator, he should not be impressed by his slander and he cannot do anything by that. That means that he wants to blot out the Amalek in his mind and heart. The question, if I can ask, nevertheless in the connection between us, we say that we're not erasing the evil inclination or things that are revealed?

M. Laitman: You erase him from being used.

Student: There are things that we seemingly cover with love in the relations between us that are revealed, what we call the transgressions. But there's nevertheless some form of Amalek that is revealed in the connection between us. So what does that mean that Amalek between us that we do need to blot out?

M. Laitman: According to what you say, we shouldn't blot him out otherwise we won't have anything to overcome upon which to establish ourselves, to stand on.

Student: This means that in the connections between us, the relations of the evil inclination on two levels at least are being revealed. On one hand that we don't need to blot out and on one level that we have to. How do we discern between these two?

M. Laitman: You tell me if this is correct, so let's continue. More questions?

Student: (53:14) It's very clear what Rabash writes about Amalek. Let's say when Amalek sees that a person is kind of impressed or is heating up or cooling down in the work and he's lacking importance and he has to serve a great king. Amalek comes in slanderous and takes this importance from him and lowers the warmth that he had in that, that he had a little bit of feeling that he has a connection with the king. He also writes that if a person works in the holy work, there's like the Sitra Achra out there and that also weakens a person so the person won't feel like he's serving a great king. He's giving many descriptions where a person on the path can identify with and say here, Amalek is coming, I found the Amalek in me, I want to point to it but the advice how to deal with it is actually through prayer, by a person wanting this Amalek not to control him, and to resist him somehow, and to ask somehow. But this contradicts Amalek because Amalek is in control. It defines the feeling of a person and the lack in a person. It is the voice that's speaking within a man. How altogether do we start to work with this advice? Where is the strength to pray against the Amalek?

M. Laitman: This is only through a force that awakens inside of you against him.

Student: This awakening is kind of like in the mind or in the intellect, I read it. I know what I need to want, but this desire, I need to receive it from above?

M. Laitman: Yes, but it is revealed to you.

Student: What is blotting out Amalek from below?

M. Laitman: That you perform all kinds of actions so that you will have the strength not to relate to the Amalek inside of you and by that, you advance towards him in order to blot him out.

Student: What actions?

M. Laitman: As usual actions of connection, actions of prayer.

Student: Then I need to hope that as a result of the actions that I do as usual, the Creator will give me a desire to blot out Amalek?

M. Laitman: The desire to blot him out exists in you to begin with a little bit but to truly blot out Amalek, you discover it the moment that you actually discover him, that he is there before you.

Student: It's revelation again I'm saying. I can read, but my attitude towards hating Amalek, for there to be some part in me that hates him and wants to get rid of him, that I receive from above, or is it something I build?

M. Laitman: You build it, you reach it because you see how much Amalek stands in your way. He doesn't let you advance.

Student: (57:05) He's very precise here with Amalek, it's not just any will to receive, like to do Torah and Mitzvot. He says that the main fear is that a person is fear from his Lord, that He is the ruler and is great of all the worlds, and everything is considered as nothing before Him, and he shall put his desire in that place called fear. He is against that and that is Amalek, that a person has that specific desire, then against it, there's Amalek. Where he wants to blot out that and that's something else. Maybe you can explain, what is that fear that the Creator is great? What is that thing against which Amalek comes? I'm asking, what is that fear that because he is the King and He is great and He's in rule. What is that fear?

M. Laitman: I'm asking you, what force, desire should awaken in you so that you will say that this is Amalek and you want to eradicate him.

Student: We need to want to have such fear, for it to be the main thing, that it will be the one thing that will fill a person.

M. Laitman: Right.

Student: All the rest of things will not be important in his eyes.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: I'm asking, what is that fear?

M. Laitman: This fear is precisely what awakens in you. Go ahead, you say it, you answer.

Student: (59:07) If he attacks the fear then why is it written that he would, telling it against elderly and women and children, that the people of Israel come out together and he kind of attacks the weak ones in the group. If it's fear, what's the wholeness of this Ten that stands before, that he wants to harm, which he actually lowers us and drops us from the fear?

M. Laitman: There is no wholeness, there's no wholeness. As usual, all of these forces come in order for us to overcome them, so that we will build ourselves in a stronger way.

Student: Our complete Kli is something we have to also be concerned with, like the fear of the Creator, that He is the ruler and great, how is it connected?

M. Laitman: Well.

Student: You see he's attacking our common Kli?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: We also need to be in fear for the connected Kli, that it is the Kli for the fear of the Creator?

M. Laitman: It is the vessel for the fear of the Creator. More?

Student: (01:01:10) Why when a person works because He is great and ruling it's considered bestowal?

M. Laitman: Because this is what he wants to reach. He wants the Creator to be great in his eyes, so much so that he will subjugate himself before Him.

Student: The moment the Creator is great and the person works because the Creator is great, so why is it considered bestowal? After all, he feels it and understands within reason that the Creator is great, so it's like he's not bestowing here, it seems like.

M. Laitman: But rather, what?

Student: I don't know, he's doing a logical action altogether. Just like my boss, the CEO of my company gives me some kind of order, I will also do it because it seems like an act of bestowal should be where the Creator appears actually small and lowly and there, if he still does such an action then it appears to be a higher degree of bestowal than when he is great and ruling?

M. Laitman: Fine, we hear you.

Student: (01:02:35) If I understand it from the article, it talks about the sorrow which is what it awakens in a person this recognition of evil basically and from that the prayer rises in him. It's still not clear how you work if bestowal is supposed to be out of love, that I'm supposed to love the Creator. Fear, if I understand, fear, it's not just like being afraid but it's because it's so important that I'm afraid to make an error or to harm and it's supposed to be out of love. There's like this sorrow, there's this part of me that wants to get rid of this sorrow. It's like this loop that doesn't allow me to come out of my desire to myself. What makes this difference here?

M. Laitman: I don't know. In a minute they will answer, I hope.

Student: (01:03:35) Already in the beginning of the first phase, we feel in the Upper one two things. There's this kind of question, what do you want from him? Either his filling or his quality, those two things. When the desire to receive from the upper one the quality and not the filling from Him, not some reward that's justified with your intellect, why it's worthwhile or not, is there any benefit in this, but to adhere to the truth, actually. Where the lower one feels that this is what the upper one has and wants to receive it from him, it needs to invent reasons why to adhere to the upper one, which are not connected to the reward that he will receive in the vessels that he's in right now. The desire to be in adhesion leads the lower one to seek how to search for the upper one without receiving pleasures from Him in his state, but rather it kind of lets him rise above his state, to go in faith and not with his intellect, meaning if someone who's sitting here has a good excuse why he's here because it's a good place, it's interesting, then it's a sign that he's not here.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: (01:05:17) It seems to me that Amalek is a guard, a shield that helps us build a Kli to be worthy to receive the greatness of the Creator because if we just have that switch turned on we disappear in His greatness and specifically the fact that we have Amalek and we start to recognize this shell more and more and to what extent it wraps us, we have this lack that grows to be worthy of asking.

M. Laitman: This means that Amalek helps us to guard ourselves so that we don't lose ourselves in the upper light.

Student: That's how it feels to me.

M. Laitman: Okay, fine, also of you.

Student: (01:06:11) There's a feeling that slander for this work in constantly overcoming exists all the time. The question is this blotting out of Amalek, is it final or does it appear each time every time you start to do some action that you're working against your will to receive?

M. Laitman: I didn't understand, again.

Student: Blotting out of Amalek. When you start to feel, you start to feel that each time it appears, each time you have to be in the work of overcoming, can you truly identify that Amalek inside of you, does it end at some point?

M. Laitman: Then what will you have?

Student: That's the question. When we blot out Amalek, like each time there's an additional degree where you feel that it's intensified, this Amalek?

M. Laitman: Yes, of course. More and more and more.

Student: Meaning this is not a one-time action?

M. Laitman: No.

Student: (01:07:56) How is this boiling that he's talking about here take place? He talks about that Amalek actually chills down, but how does the feeling of boiling take place?

M. Laitman: From this form of collision through the act of collision between contradictory things, the opposite things in Amalek and in the person.

Student: The person needs to build a yearning for bestowal to the Creator?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Then Amalek wants to chill it down because he says that he's not, the Creator is not good that does good? I didn't quite understand. What is the clash here?

M. Laitman: It's a clash between the view that a person wants to have, maybe he doesn't yet have this view, but he wants to have it versus what Amalek comes with.

Student: It feels like this chilled down state, a person can suffice in that and he doesn't pay attention and Amalek is drawing him to a state that?

M. Laitman: Amalek is intended to awaken the person.

Student: A person needs to be constantly in that state of boiling?

M. Laitman: He needs to, from where will he do it? But this is a good state if he rises against Amalek.

Student: Is this something that constantly Amalek awakens like this or only in certain states?

M. Laitman: This depends on the person.

Student: (01:09:50) The article is called, What is the Order in Blotting Out Amalek. What is the order?

M. Laitman: The order is that the person first comes to a state where he identifies that he has a view and it is the opposite of Amalek who wants to bring up in him a different view.

Student: The work with Amalek will always be above reason?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Then also that third fear that we have to come to because He is great and ruling, will also always be above reason?

M. Laitman: Let's say so.

Student: The question is, where is my exertion?

M. Laitman: Your exertion is in being between the two of them up to the point where from above reason it will enter into within reason.

Student: There is a part in the article where he kind of cautions us from that, that it might enter within reason because if the yearning starts awakening towards that, then I will disappear from Kedusha, I'll enter separation. How do I make sure that my yearning will be correct specifically for the lack and not for the filling?

M. Laitman: You have to always hold on to the Amalek that is before you.

Student: Then it's like I'm constantly growing it, it's like it's something I'm working for and making it greater all the time?

M. Laitman: So what?

Student: After I've grown it and did the work here, where is the force to go above reason all of a sudden? Say to it, okay, I understood that's the state you're showing me, but I'm putting you on the side. Do I actually work on that?

M. Laitman: I did not understand.

Student: I'm trying to understand where my exertion eventually needs to be, where I have to put it?

M. Laitman: Your exertion is in that you want to hold on to Amalek, always under your control.

Student: That will always be above my reason, right?

M. Laitman: Why?

Student: Because otherwise will it be under my control? How can I control it? He always gives me negative thoughts, so how am I supposed to overcome it?

M. Laitman: But how is it above reason? You can perform an action but constantly hold him above reason?

Student: No, not Amalek but the contradictory action.

M. Laitman: That, yes.

Student: (01:13:08) It seems to me that the whole problem is the pleasure and the goal. And Amalek doesn't know how to use the pleasure. He uses it in a way that I don't even know if I'm saying it correctly, but he uses it in the wrong way. The pleasure departs away and he explains at the beginning of the whole matter of meat and fish that we need to learn how the Creator wants to give us pleasure, and we don't know how to use it. We don't know how to use it through Amalek. I mean, this is a matter that, this is the whole problem. He also explains there's Torah and Mitzvot, and each Mitzvah has pleasure, it has its own taste?

M. Laitman: So?

Student: I don't even know how to ask the question but this is the whole problem. How do we use the pleasure in order to bestow by bringing contentment to the Creator?

M. Laitman: By connecting, by this we find a way to it and this is how we come closer. From the simple work on the ground, on connection, we begin to see the direction and we continue toward it.

Student: (01:15:17) When a person thinks about the greatness of the Creator, the control of the Creator, the quality of the bestowal it gives confidence, calmness, it gives a direction, a meaning?

M. Laitman: On condition that he is holding it.

Student: What is the fear that he is controlling all? Why is it called fear?

M. Laitman: Fear that a person doesn't have the vessels, he doesn't have the vessels to maintain himself in such a state, in a state of fear but the Creator can awaken him and keep him this way, only the Creator.

Student: What's the fear, that he's afraid he'll lose the pleasure because he's enjoying the greatness of the Creator?

M. Laitman: No, he's not afraid about the pleasure, he’s afraid that he may not be able to keep himself in a state of fear.

Student: Why? What will happen if he won't be in fear?

M. Laitman: Then he won't be able to bestow upon the Creator. The fear that a person feels toward the Creator is his bestowal.

Student: First you need to bestow and then fear for that. Otherwise what is he in fear of? To have a desire to bestow?

M. Laitman: To have a desire to bestow, yes.

Student: What's the issue with Amalek? He comes and says he's not important, the Creator's not important, take a different pleasure, what's Amalek against it?

M. Laitman: Amalek against fear. Amalek against the fear is, how should I put it? He makes a person feel that he can be connected to him, even without fear, even without fear. It kind of gives him the ability to approach and be connected but it's impossible because he doesn't have a vessel. So he comes and really wants to be connected to the Creator, but here, once the fear is gone he can't be adhered to the Creator.

Student: What's the warmth in that fear? What does it mean that Amalek chills out that warmth?

M. Laitman: I think he writes about it, no?

Student: He writes that in the work of the Creator there is warmth and he says that Amalek chills a person out. What is the warmth and what is the chilling of that warmth?

M. Laitman: The warmth and the chill is when a person is, when he has a tendency or a predilection toward the Creator and he gets cooled from it, because he's got nothing to grip to.

Student: Warmth, I can understand, like closeness between friends. It's simple, that's warmth. You see that there's friction and it warms up the connection, so that's clear, but what is warmth and the connection with the Creator?

M. Laitman: A person feels the closer he comes to the Creator, he feels warmth, but he has to constantly work on nearing the Creator, to increase it, to see more deficiencies in it each time and add in nearing the Creator, this is basically his work.

Student: What's chilling out, that Amalek comes and chills a person out?

M. Laitman: I think chilling, here we can say that it's about a person's yearning to be close to the Creator. That force which cools a person when he feels he no longer has the attraction, that's Amalek.

Student: Against that a person has to pray that he will have, that he will be drawn again to the Creator?

M. Laitman: Yes, it's only through the prayer, yes, only through the prayer.

Student: Amalek gives a person the renewing of the prayer because without him we wouldn't renew the plea to come close to the Creator?

M. Laitman: Correct, by cooling he assists in renewing the prayer. Yes.

Student: (01:21:34) Amalek cools a person off after the exodus from Egypt, what's the tendency to the Creator in a person in the exodus from Egypt? What does he feel towards the Creator, what is that state that he yearns for the Creator, what is that understanding that Amalek cools him off from? What's the feeling that Amalek cools him off?

M. Laitman: Why does a person come out of Egypt? In order to come closer to the Creator.

Student: That's right theoretically, but what changed in a person before the Exodus and after the Exodus?

M. Laitman: What changed is how much he can direct himself toward the Creator.

Student: What was he before that?

M. Laitman: He was disconnected.

Student: Rabash writes that he would yearn after pleasures, let's say to receive pleasure and after that he'd yearn and now he's yearning after the Creator?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Can we explain what does it mean to yearn after the Creator, or is it pleasure? What is that?

M. Laitman: It's as it is written, in Him our heart delights. It's the greatest pleasure but in order to bestow when he wants to receive, it's pleasure in order to bestow and then there will be this tight connection between them.

Student: In that state, a person has forces that comes from yearning for some kind of pleasure, he gets forces?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Amalek supposedly chills him off, he gives him an even truer intention to reach that third fear, to be able to develop it from within himself and not because he has a desire that was revealed in him after the exodus, as a tendency to run. That's clear. Can I ask another question? It's written to remember what Amalek did to you. I guess that state means that a person was able to overcome all of Amalek. What is that state, why do you have to remember? What does that help to remember what Amalek did?

M. Laitman: Amalek didn't let him come out of Egypt, right? Only thanks to the help from the Creator he comes out. Only the Creator is His faithful helper by whom He exists.

Student: The Commandment of remembering what Amalek did that He pulled us off, how does that help us? What does it use for?

M. Laitman: That now, you know the right role of Amalek and how careful you need to be from him.

Student: (01:25:31) You said we talked a lot about fear, so can you help me? Who has to be afraid or fearful and why?

M. Laitman: A person should be afraid that the Creator might stop tending, taking care of him, this is why he needs to be sensitive to what the Creator awakens in him.

Student: Sensitive has something to do with fear. Why should I be fearful?

M. Laitman: Be afraid that the Creator will stop taking care of him, yes.

Student: To reveal Amalek or Pharaoh, that means to take care of you?

M. Laitman: Of course, through Pharaoh and Amalek, the Creator takes care of me, tends to me and precisely thanks to the awakening of these forces which are the bad forces I become needy of the Creator's help.

Student: Yes but to be fearful that's what you do. You have to be afraid?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes. What do you mean to be afraid? I don't have the strength to go against them, to deal with them. This is why I'm afraid.

Student: But that's why we have our means, why should we be fearful?

M. Laitman: What means?

Student: The method, books, the group, the teacher, so why should we be afraid?

M. Laitman: There is fear. Without fear, it's impossible to, without fear, it's impossible to do anything.

Student: In the Klipot, Amalek, is there a state that they will fear us and not we will fear him all the time?

M. Laitman: No, no. It's a force of nature that the Creator awakens and we are only created beings.

Student: We're also a force in nature.

M. Laitman: Yes, but if I want to be above these bad forces I have to study them, know them and then I see that only by being connected to the Creator can I be saved from them.

Student: I'm not going to start asking for friends to be fearful. I'm here to help, I'm here to give them confidence. I won't ask for a friend to be fearful from all kinds of, I don't know.

M. Laitman: You don't ask them to be afraid but if they are afraid, if they feel weak, then you need to show them in what way we can overcome this weakness.

Student: That's what I'm saying. Why did you say that we have to be fearful? You come, you give an example, you help. You show them examples, why does fear have to be in this?

M. Laitman: A person cannot be without fear. If to begin with we are governed by the will to receive and we want to rise above it and use it in order to bestow and we should constantly work against it with fear.

Student: When you come to scrutinize the truth, if the other side is in fear, it's not the truth, they'll do whatever you tell them. If you come to the court and you're afraid of the other side so you'll be fearful, you won't tell the truth. What's the truth here? If you're fearful, you're a coward, you do what you said, you get a slap, so you run away?

M. Laitman: Fear is a very important feeling, very important because without fear you can harm yourself. You can do such things, terrible things. Fear allows you to plan your steps correctly and approach the desirable goal with the right steps.

Student: I am correcting my qualities. Let's say a person who advances corrects his qualities?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Why should he be in fear? He'll behave according to his corrected qualities. Why should he be in fear and then do terrible things? He's being corrected and there is a screen and things that hold him.

M. Laitman: I don't know. You're a driver, right?

Student: What do you mean?

M. Laitman: You're a driver.

Student: I used to be.

M. Laitman: Well, you used to, never mind.

Student: In work? I used to be.

M. Laitman: Okay. When you're driving on the road you have limitations. I can't turn this way, I can't do this, I can't do that. You have warnings, limitations, fears, this I'm forbidden, this is not so much. In other words you have some sort of a framework that constantly directs you so you reach your destination correctly.

Student: When you correct yourself you still don't count on yourself, you still want limitations to come from the outside?

M. Laitman: The limitations from outside don't depend on me. The fact that I notice them allows me to choose my way and my behavior more correctly.

Student: When you correct you become a partner of the Creator. You don't see the limitations as you used to, like the officers and guards that push you out. Afterwards, you see that it came from the Creator and then the correction is in a different way. It's not the same that you're like a donkey with a whip and a stick and a carrot, and then you advance, but you advance in a different way. You come out of reward and punishment?

M. Laitman: Correct. Correct. Okay let's continue.

Student: (01:33:25) The lesson just got warm, but in the beginning it seemed that you're starting to start something here and we didn't really flow. Friends were asking questions and you told us to try and answer?

M. Laitman: Well, that's behind us already. You can't turn something from wherever you are, it's been an hour and a half already.

Student: I just want to ask, because it's been happening a few lessons that you're sending the question back to us. I want to understand how to behave in such a state. What are you expecting us to do in such a state? What answer should we give? To search for an answer in the source or from what I know, from what I think I understand how to answer?

M. Laitman: I am waiting for us to be able to scrutinize correctly where everyone participates and understand each other and we are like in a playground where everyone is there.

Student: The scrutiny, what is it leaning on, what to start answering from, from where do I answer?

M. Laitman: We read an article, we started from the article.

Student: There's things that I'm not sure about, I don't want to confuse the friends so I'd rather be quiet and that's what happens. You ask a question and there's a silence?

M. Laitman: I, with my question I am turning to the friends, so they will wake up, so they will speak in the direction of the question.

Student: We're used to hearing you, we want to hear you?

M. Laitman: No, I want to hear you more and more. It's incorrect for me to chew and prepare for you the question, the article, I want you to speak among yourselves and study among yourselves and I will be on the side. When there's a need I'll come in but usually, no.

Student: Here it's not clear. We come, we're used to hearing an article to ask you, to hear you. Now you're saying, I'm expecting to hear from you more and more, so this isn’t clear. What should be born from this?

M. Laitman: You read an article.

Student: Yes.

M. Laitman: From the article you saw questions, partial answers, all kinds of things that are related to each other, so where are your reactions? Why aren't you connecting among yourselves and discussing the topic of the article?

Student: I'll stand up and start spilling out everything I understood on the whole world Kli and he will do it and he will say it. How does he do the scrutiny correctly?

M. Laitman: This is how it should be, this is how it should be. Not everyone and not to have some sort of a market here, but I would like you to discuss among yourselves, to scrutinize the article and extract and come out from the lesson when you take this article and you know to some extent how to implement it in the connection between you. The next day the same, and the day after the same and this way more and more.

Student: The scrutiny, this discussion between us?

M. Laitman: Yes, that is the most important thing is how you speak among yourselves.

Student: In order to extract actual actions to do between us during the day?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes, yes and now how you seemingly want me to tell you the lesson and explain the article to you like at school and I'll give you homework and you will do it.

Student: Yes, because we got used to it all these years.

M. Laitman: No, no.

Student: What is this discussion to sit and talk one with the other?

M. Laitman: You will understand each other so you will come closer to each other, so you will create more and more connections between you that will eventually become spiritual. When do you want to work on it?

Student: How not to confuse the others?

M. Laitman: Who? Others who?

Student: The friends, that each one spills what he understood from the article. How not to cause confusion, how not to be confused in this whole process?

M. Laitman: But you're together each Ten scrutinizes within it what he heard in the lesson and how he can understand it, how it can establish itself, position itself with some small corrections to adjust or adapt itself to the article.

Student: The discussion I think, because it's general in the world, it's harder for the individual to take part of it. If we were answering it in small groups I think the person would open up towards his friends more.

M. Laitman: You are forgetting that each of you has a small group. Yes, really, I think that's the main thing. The world Kli is like a general support that we are in. The main thing for me is the Ten and I, within the Ten, connect through all kinds of steps to the friends more and more on top of questions, problems that arise during the reading, during the scrutiny, and we come out of the lesson and can say that we've advanced in this, we've scrutinized that, now we see this and in this way in the end we come closer to the goal.

Student: What's the role of the teacher here?

M. Laitman: From aside he corrects something. What do you think, what do you think?

Student: I see our eyes are looking at you. We're answering and you're giving us?

M. Laitman: That's the problem. I don't want to be in this all the time, it's not my role. It would be more correct if you spoke among yourselves, connected and went through the lesson this way. Rabash writes that you will feel where you can be connected, discussing, touching each other. That's the most important.

Student: When I come out of a morning lesson, what should I come out of the lesson with?

M. Laitman: You come out with your Ten in your heart and all of you are there and you worked on it and you feel each other more and your heart has softened and you are all in this operation where that’s the most important. Where I, at least in the last month, am suddenly realizing that we are going in a different direction. There's not much of a connection within the groups and there's no matter of obtaining unity, connection, which is the most important. Everything else is not important to us, this is our goal. Where is our connection which we have to reveal in order to, in it, connect with the Creator? This vessel we are not, we are not building.

Student: You don't feel that that's our tendency?

M. Laitman: I feel and I don't feel. Really you can tell me many smart words, but that we really aim for it all the time, I don't see it. I don't see it.

Student: (01:44:37) We are used to working in the Ten. There's a question, we can scrutinize it between us. When each one stands up and shares some understanding he got, or something on his heart or stomach, usually it's very challenging to connect around those things. But if there's a question, and then we scrutinize it in the Ten, it's a completely different event. Then the questions that come up from that are different than each one who stands up and jumps. So on that side on how to connect, at least until now that’s what we used to do is through really discussing it in our Ten?

M. Laitman: Yes. Okay.

Student: (01:45:35) How can a person increase the importance in a way that he'll distance himself from the Klipa of Amalek?

M. Laitman: How can a person do it, according to his relation to the environment. The further he is from the Amalek in him, the closer he can be and more connected to the society. If I understood your question correctly.

Student: Why is Amalek so cunning, sneaky?

M. Laitman: The force is like that, the Creator made it like that. Amalek is a name, it's a name, the name is Al Minat L'Kabel. It's an acronym of in order to receive. Amalek is an acronym for Al Minat L'Kabel, which is in order to receive. Okay.

Student: (01:47:30) Most of the lessons I see during my drive to work and I feel they have a lot more questions beyond what the friends asked. Today I could have answered all the questions of the friends according to what my ego thinks but from the fear of not confusing, like our friend here shared, I was afraid to stand up and answer in order not to confuse the friends because I'm standing before a huge world Kli and I'm really afraid not to confuse the friends. For example, we would have a workshop about, let's say, about the friend’s question, or like you gave the question back. If we had like a five-minute workshop in the Ten then every Ten here would come out with great answers. Thank you.

M. Laitman: Clear.

Student: (01:48:48) We, during the day, get selected excerpts from the lesson and to the extent that we feel that it's suitable we scrutinize the questions that came up in the lesson because during the lesson, we really don't want to take the time away. Once, we used to have workshops in the lessons many years ago, but there was that period. Today there's just so much material that we want to absorb, so we are scrutinizing it in our free time in the Tens but obviously not all the specific questions that we find in the lesson. There's a lot of questions we could have talked about but that main work we do during our meetings.

Question (Holland): (01:50:54) Can you say, let's say when you talk about Amalek from below and Amalek from above, that it's all about concealments?

M. Laitman: Yes. Of course, usually it's revealed because of the concealment.

Student: Can we say, that let's say I'm Amalek from below is a concealment of let's say of the evil inclination, and that it's the revelation, so the revelation of the evil inclination?

M. Laitman: It also can be the opposite.

Student: Okay. Can we say from above, let's say, Amalek from above, that means we want to move, let's say, that Amalek wants to move away the concealments and that we prevent the moving away from the concealment. We keep the concealment?

Translator: The friend is asking if Amalek from above is a force that is trying to remove the concealment to reveal the Creator and we fight against it, meaning we do want to retain the concealment?

M. Laitman: Yes, the concealment is for our benefit.

Student:. Okay, thank you.

Question (Latin 7): (01:52:46) I see that it's very difficult to work with Amalek individually but the Creator created the Ten like a spice. What Commandments can we implement as a Ten so that by this we will be stronger against the Amalek?

M. Laitman: Only the Commandments of connection, only Commandments of connection. That's it, no more than that.

Student: Can you give us an example?

M. Laitman: Mutual help, common help, support, man will help his friend, all kinds of things that through them we come closer to one another and the rest of the things it's almost not important. It's like secondary conditions that we behave in the external world to be similar to one another, that's not important. The main thing is the connection between us in the heart.

Question: (Haderia 1): (01:54:30) This topic is totally abstruse for me, I'll begin with an example. You once told us about some Hassid, some pious Orthodox man who bought a very expensive car to be next to his Rabbi when he came to Israel. This is the will to receive just clean, because he feels he's getting respect from others, maybe he'll get help from this Rabbi when he needs it. When we're talking about the Creator, is it not the same thing that He's great? What does it mean that He’s great? How do I work with the will to receive that I have fear that I might not be able to give him something? How do I work with His greatness?

M. Laitman: You have to think what's great in your eyes and how to bow down before that.

Question (Hadera 1): (01:55:50) Can I ask?

M. Laitman: Quick.

Student: We're always between two forces. We feel these two forces precisely when we are in between them. Does this also happen with fear that it begins with fear in order to receive and then it becomes in order to bestow?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: It means that Amalek and the Creator work when we are in between the two forces?

M. Laitman: I don't know where you're taking this to.

Student: It means that this situation where Amalek is pulling you back and you're drawn more and more, it's in the middle?

M. Laitman: What do you want to say that's in the middle?

Student: I'm trying to say that when we feel these two forces, then Amalek is basically threatened by the Creator specifically with the fear?

M. Laitman: Let's say so.

Student: Thank you.

M. Laitman: I still don't understand what he was asking. You got it? No. Let's go to the last part of the lesson, Introduction to The Book of Zohar, right?

Reader: We'll move to the next part of the lesson and before that, we'll sing a song together.
