Part 3: The Ten as an Environment for Spiritual Development for Everyone. Selected Excerpts from the sources,

Reader: (00:19) We are reading in the document, The Ten as an Environment for Spiritual Development for Everyone, Item 1. Rabash writes:

If several individuals come together with the force that it is worthwhile to abandon self-love, but without the sufficient power and importance of bestowal to become independent, without outside help, if these individuals annul before one another and all have at least potential love of the Creator, though they cannot keep it in practice, then by each joining the society and annulling oneself before it, they become one body.

For example, if there are ten people in that body, it has ten times more power than a single person does.

However, there is a condition: When they gather, each of them should think that he has now come for the purpose of annulling self-love. It means that he will not consider how to satisfy his will to receive now but will think as much as possible only of the love of others. This is the only way to acquire the desire and the need to acquire a new quality, called “the will to bestow.”

And from love of friends one can reach love of the Creator, meaning wanting to give contentment to the Creator.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (04:29) We're going into social time between us now. We’re going to go into a workshop. Our weekly topic: The Ten as an Environment for Spiritual Development. We started discussing this on Sunday in the Building of the Spiritual Society and we want to talk about it now, too. We know at least in the men’s Tens, there’s this tension, there’s a lot of types of tension but there's something that stands out about keeping the framework and withstanding all kinds of criterions and conditions. Part keep this basis in the framework, part don’t. Part of the people, it disturbs, some justify. Some demand, some hug, some scream. And now we want to talk about that, and we’re planning to have a local discussion between the Petach Tikva Tens. But it’s a topic for everyone so let’s talk about it now.
