Part 1: Part 1:

Recorded lesson - Sep 9, 2020

Excerpts from the sources: “Work with Faith Above Reason”. #35

Reader: Hello, dear friends. In the first part of the lesson, we're going to learn from lesson that took place on September 9, 2020, on the topic of “Faith Above Reason,” selected excerpts. We'll continue from excerpt number 35.

Reader: Hello, we're in a lesson on the topic of the “Work with Faith Above Reason.” We'll read the selected excerpts from the sources, starting with excerpt number 35. You can find the study material on Kab.TV and Sviva Tova, or you can click the book icon at the top of the Galaxy interface. You can send questions on Kab.TV or Sviva Tova, and selected questions on the study material will be answered in the lesson.

M. Laitman: (00:58) We are together in a very special time, in a very special period. How were we rewarded with this, I don't know. Look how the world is changing from one day to the next, showing us its nothingness, lack of understanding, lack of orientation, lack of anything, really. It’s truly everyone is like plants. They have no idea what to do and what's happening with them. And look at all the governments and all the forces, from one day to the next, they have no possibility but only to discover how much they don't understand what to do and where they are, and who is managing them, etc. Truly, everything is happening before us, before our eyes, that's on the one hand. On the other hand, from one day to the next, we are beginning to understand more and more that we are also in a force that is managing us - it wants us to connect, it wants us to turn to Him, to understand Him, feel Him, be like Him. However, for this purpose, it is giving us all of these questions and problems, just like we do it with little children, right? We give them all kinds of exercises, we push them to do things, and we constantly, constantly give them something that they will try to do by themselves, that they will get hold of something, some toy that they will flip over from their back to their tummy or the other way around. So these too we're getting from the Creator. All of the problems that appear individually and collectively in all kinds of different forms, from the personal form all the way to the general collective form, it also comes from the Creator. That is, He is playing with us from both directions, just like we do it with the little children. He is giving us some problem, and He wants us to try to solve it, so that we will turn to Him and discover that He is doing it, and that we demand of Him to help us to do it, and this way we will be connected with Him from the beginning of His work and up to the end of His work. Therefore, this whole work is called the work of the Lord. This is what we discover, and by this we discover ourselves as adhered to Him, from the beginning of His action until the end of His action. The Creator does everything, and we are with Him.

M. Laitman: (04:15) And then, “from Your actions, we know You,” that is that we will get to know the Creator out of His actions, both from the fact that He is giving us problems and troubles, as if, and also that He is obligating us afterwards to yearn to solve these problems by ourselves, to see that you are not capable of it, and then realize that we have to turn to Him. And in order to turn to Him, we have to connect. And when we connect between us, then we reach Him and we discover Him between us. We discover that He was doing it. To the extent that we connect between us, we build Him. “You have made Me,” as it says, and then He performs the action. And then we are in adhesion with Him above reason. Our reason - that we are doing it, or that it happens by itself, and above reason is that we discover the Creator, who is above nature, and the Creator does everything. This is how we work. We need to try to catch ourselves, get hold of ourselves more and more in this process, meaning both that all of the problems and troubles come from Him, and also that our work is only to turn to the group, Him, and this way we will continue. And from one day to the next, we should start to feel more and more how much we are with Him in this whole process, in the bad and in the good, until we rise above all of the actions - we understand that everything is good, and there is no bad in the world, but rather everything is in order to discover the Creator who is dwelling among us. This really is the situation as of today, and I'm happy that from one day to the next, indeed, again, we see that the world is discovering it. Well, it's something that is necessary. It's not that we want them to suffer, rather what we want them is to discover, as quickly as possible, the nothingness of their own forces, through which they will discover that there is an upper force and He is doing it, and our correct work is to turn to one another, and then out of the connection between us, turn to the Creator, and this way we discover that there is none else besides Him. Indeed, it's a very beautiful, very good time to see how much humanity from one day to the next is beginning to digest more and more, each and every time a little bit, and a little bit more, another gram, another millimeter forward. It is beginning to digest that there is no going back. We're not going back. It's not going to be the way that it was. All of those forms of life that we were living, let's say, over the last 50 years, it's not going to come back. It's not going to come back. We're always going forward and not backward, and none of the old behavior, I don't see that it will exist. Rather, everything is just a little bit of suffering and a lot of reason that we will try to acquire within us, within humanity, and also humanity around us.

M. Laitman: (08:06) And this is how we will advance. It's beautiful to see this history that we are now living together, and this reality. And it is truly taking place right before us, and we understand, and feel, and observe it from above, and we're aware of it. We're partners with this force that is doing everything, that is operating, doing everything. So, on the one hand, we should be proud that the Creator is making us into His partners, and on the other hand, as much as possible, let's connect and truly be His partners, because we bring Him to the world through the connection between us. So, as much as possible, or even if you don't understand how and what, as much as possible - connection with the Creator, we should believe that the Creator is with us inside of the connection, and that if we perform the right connection, we will start to feel that force that is connecting us, which is the Creator. It's Him. He is connecting us. Therefore, when we yearn for a connection, we yearn for His revelation, because there is no other form of the revelation of the Creator, but only as the One who is connecting us, gluing us together, and then we will truly become partners with Him, an active partnership. So again, all of the forces, the bad forces and problems come from the Creator. Seemingly bad, it is in order to promote us, in order to give us possibilities to turn towards connection and turn to Him, so that He will perform what He actually created. This is called “the Maker of light and the Creator of darkness.” That both the light and the darkness, everything comes from above, and we just have to use these things in order to tie ourselves between us, so much so that inside of this connection, we will discover Him. And then we will see why He's operating in such a way with us and with the whole world. And it's above our emotion and intellect and reason. We will see it. What I would like to awaken here is the importance of the states that we're going through, the importance of the time that we're in. You should be grateful for it more and feel your importance, that you are very special. And accordingly, each one should respect the others, the organization, the groups, everything that we do.

Question (Kyiv 1): (11:30) Why the Creator is giving us this degree now?

M. Laitman: Well, it's not that the Creator is choosing each and every one individually, but in the general soul called Adam, there are all kinds of desires. Some are closer, some are further away from the Creator, from the different kinds of connections, etc. So the Creator is awakening His general surrounding light, and through this, more awaken and more desires, individual desires awaken, or they become individual through the shattering that occurred between them. And then we are in a layer that is now awakening during the time of correction, and therefore we are here together, and we're yearning. This is our role, to help the Creator and hear what Kabbalists are saying, and to start to establish the last generation. It's a very important role, you understand, we are the pioneers. We are the pioneers of the correction, because until now there was no correction. There was no correction of Adam HaRishon. There were individual souls that did a little bit here and there, they did great corrections. However, there was no opportunity to connect between them. From the time of Rav Shimon, this was the only group that the Creator has established, has put together as a foundation of the correction, of creation of the soul of Adam HaRishon. Until our time, there was no such thing. And we, in practice, are here, a group that wants to do it. As much as we will manage, as much as we will be able to do it - that doesn't matter, but we see that it is done, and it is done truly… It's us, opposite the world, how the world is going. Well, nevertheless, they do understand, from one day to the next, more and more. We are shining to them in whatever we do, and they are beginning to digest this process also, that there is no going back, that we have to go towards something which is unknown, and what will it be, they don't know. But this is the form of development. This is the form of development.

Student: I specifically wanted to ask about that. The Creator has given us this degree, this love not so it will be good for us, but we should pass it on.

M. Laitman: Well, first of all, we have to connect according to all of these conditions that the Creator is awakening for and against. Because love covers all crimes, this law must be. Because in the created beings, there has to be an egoistic desire to receive, and on top of it, a desire to bestow, to connect. So, this is how we have to do it. And therefore, in the Ten, we discover there, and we will discover even more, all kinds of forms that are opposite to connection. As the Zohar explains to us about the students of Rav Shimon, that they wanted to kill one another, and they were on such great degrees of connection, of love, of faith above reason and everything; and then they had such great hatred. It's one thing against the other, the right line and the left line have to be one opposite the other. And we need to include all of these things within us, and we have to relate to the world, like little children, help as much as possible, assist them to understand the process on their level, give them everything that might be beneficial for them to come closer between them.

Student: So, we need to help them understand this process, or share with them the love that is revealed between us?

M. Laitman: Yes, the love, that we have to be in one body. That's one thing. The other thing, when you begin to digest and understand how to relate to them, how to relate to them. That they are small, little, they don't understand, they don't feel, and you are obligated to them to do everything, and feel them, that they are more important for the correction of the world than you. Just like how we relate to children or babies, that they should go forward and perform the actions, and this is how we should teach them, slowly, but everything should be very gradual, not to disturb them in their development. Just like we do it, we don't do it instead of the children, we don't play with their games, we prepare everything for them, and we want them to perform the actions, and through these actions they will grow wiser, they will understand and feel. This is how we should also do it with the audience, because we are the Rosh, and they are our Guf, our body.

Question (Kyiv 1): (17:44) In the middle of the lesson you said, I wrote it down actually, that we have to see ourselves, or reveal ourselves in humanity, in the humanity around us. How do you understand it?

M. Laitman: Well, because there is a special connection between Bnei Baruch, called Rosh, and the whole of humanity, which is called the Guf [body]. Certainly, all of the corrections are done in the Guf, but the planning for the corrections occurs in the Rosh, and bit by bit we have to organize ourselves and organize them to such an extent that we, in the future, will be able to work together, so that whatever comes out of me will enter into them, and whatever they want and feel will rise to us, also as a prayer, as support. Without them, we cannot perform any corrections, but in the meantime, we build ourselves. In the meantime, we are building the Rosh. But in the future, we will have to work with them, and to hear from them their deficiencies, to discover their deficiencies in them, and work accordingly. Because actually the advancement practically depends on the Guf, we're just the Rosh. So, there is importance for the Rosh, there is importance for the Guf, but in truth, the last generation, where we are now in the beginning of it, is unique in that we are in the construction of the Guf. The Roshim [the heads], at the beginning of the Roshim, these were all of the Kabbalists from Adam HaRishon, 5,000 years already, all of them were building and building and building a little bit of the Rosh. Now the time has come for the entire world to awaken, you see that everyone is now connecting and they're in the common trouble and in some sort of a general feeling and understanding of all kinds of things, bad and good, and this is how we are entering reciprocity also between the Rosh and the Guf, and we have to go through many special stages between Israel and the nations of the world, as we call it. Well, we will see. This is truly a very special time, and I'm very excited by it.

Question (New York 4): (20:38) Rabash prepared you to bring the wisdom out and now you're preparing us to take it out even further. It seems like then we will have to do some next degree, something that hasn't been revealed yet.

M. Laitman: One moment, I'd like to say that.. Well, it's true on the one hand, on the other hand, there are other groups. There are other groups, however, we need to see not that they are studying more or studying less, there are groups that want to go out to faith above reason, there are different groups. First of all, do not cancel anyone, everyone should develop, everyone should get support. Just like me, when Rabash passed away, I gave them the entire archive that I had, so they can photocopy it or take the recordings. Let everyone have the materials and develop, God forbid, do not hinder anyone or criticize anyone - no. Any student of Baal HaSulam, any student of Rabash in general, a person who's interested in Kabbalah or not even Kabbalah, maybe all kinds of forms of other forms of correction - there is room for everyone, do not cancel anyone. We are doing our own thing, that's it, that's on the one hand. On the other hand, you need to look at all people, if you want to see where they are, look at what is the direction of their development? Do they see that Israel, the light and the Creator is one? Do they want to reach a state where this entire system of Adam HaRishon, that is the whole of humanity, and “they shall know Me from the little of them to the greatest of them, and My house shall be called the house of prayer to all nations,” because we are in the last generation, right? So, are they in this inclination? If they only think about their group but they don't care about anything else besides that, well that's their business, but this is not precisely the last generation. And therefore, you have to at least look at those who are aimed towards the dissemination of the wisdom of Kabbalah to the whole world, to all the people in the world, right? Jews and the nations of the world, it doesn't matter who and what, we are going back to Babylon, right, but in order to bring correction there. Accordingly, you can pretty much sort as if the groups that are engaging in the wisdom of Kabbalah also, but do not disregard them, just check who is going in the direction of the last generation, or who is still closed. And it's not their fault, maybe, or the other way around, rather it is according to the root of the soul. It is according to the root of the soul, there are those who have to, they're drawn to see the whole of reality, and the Creator who is clothed in reality, and there are those who still.. their deficiency is still not for that. Well, you will feel all these things by yourselves, and you will discover them.

Question (CzechSlovak 1): (24:43) Could you please ask all our brothers in Europe to come together and cooperate with one another for us to bring this wisdom to schools and universities, because there is a huge opportunity now, which the Creator has made possible, that schools and universities are looking for integral education methods. And we have the product to give it to them, on condition that we cooperate, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, we must cooperate from different organizations for it to be accepted.

M. Laitman: Yes, I think that, well, I'm not sure that I'm the right address for it, but we have people who are engaging in this. There are friends, such that they're experts in teaching, they're in it. Other friends are developing it also. In short, you should turn to them. If you want, I will also take part, of course, but it's not that I myself will be able to do something besides a few conversations about this topic. But first of all, connect between you, if you have the possibility to do it in Europe, how, what, talk between you for the time being, and later on, talk with me, and we will think about what to do. I'm willing to give everything I have. You have to realize that I'm behind you. Go ahead.

Question (Netanya): (27:00) How can we be a Ten that advances correctly towards the last generation?

M. Laitman: Only according to the connection in the Ten. Without cells, there is no body. The Ten is a single cell. And if you try to build out of yourselves such unity, this is already a part of the Creator, because you connect together above the will to receive that the Creator deliberately created in you, so that you will have an opportunity to build out of yourselves the image of the Creator. The smallest possible - this is called a Ten. If you will succeed in this, already you are as a unique, corrected part in the Guf of Adam HaRishon.

Question (PT 31): (28:08) Yes, speaking about the special state we're in, I'm seeing true chaos in Israel. Nobody believes anyone. Nobody believes the corona, the government.

M. Laitman: This is just the beginning. Just the beginning. And we have to organize this chaos. Not to pacify it, but specifically in this chaos, according to how they feel, to the extent that they feel that they cannot control this chaos, use this feeling, this confusion, right? This is actually the revelation of the shattering. And we have to show them what is the possible order that could be there.

Student: What do we tell them? People don't believe this corona, don't believe the health system. Everyone just wants to do whatever they feel like doing. What can we tell them?

M. Laitman: It's natural, what they say, because they have no control. So they say, oh, we're not going to relate to it, and that's it. Let whatever happens happen. They just throw away all of the masks. They go out to the streets. They go crazy and go wild. We will eat and we will drink, because tomorrow we shall die. This is well known, right? This is from old times; there were such cases where people could not control the situation. So this is how humanity says, what humanity says, this is how the masses behave. And I understand them. What can they do besides this? Nothing besides this. So at least we will gain this moment when I'm living. What is life? We have this song, right? Between the past and the present, life is the moment between the past and the future. Yes, there is a tiny moment, and at that moment I'm alive, this is what they say. So what can you do here? I actually understand them. I see in this progress, actually, that they realize that life is worth no more than just a moment. This is already a healthier attitude towards life, it's more correct. But besides this moment, I'm never alive, each time it's this moment, and in this moment I have to actualize myself in a way that is as beneficial as possible for the goal. So, already this is progress. Now we just have to build in us, more and more, the power of connection, and then we will pass it on to them. Even without our efforts, they will feel. Well, let us connect, and they will feel that in humanity there is some special force of connection, that is confident of today and confident of tomorrow, and they will know how to take the correct step from today, from the bad today to the good tomorrow. So, let's let them do these things, but only through connection. We cannot be connected with them unless when we are connected. This is what we need. Therefore, each and every day we just have to weigh ourselves, measure ourselves in weights of connection. If we are more connected, then it means we are advancing. I think it's working, but it's preferable to have more. It's better that it will be more. The Creator wants us to advance in a faster pace. You see what is happening to the world. Imagine to yourselves that this is your small child, your baby, who is going through such situations where he doesn't know what to do. He's screaming, he's afraid that he won't have any food and any caring, and nothing, and he has concerns, and he doesn't know how he will be able to cope with them, with all of these problems that are coming closer on the horizon. And we therefore need to connect with the troubles of the public. This is a big, very big Mitzva. If a person, if a Kabbalist connects with the troubles of the public, specifically through this, he is advanced, he is being promoted. Therefore, I'm always saying, “disseminate, disseminate,” because by this, we determine the pace of our own development.

Student: Is that where it's going? People are going to look for that place of connection?

M. Laitman: People will search for the place of connection. Well, this depends on how much we will project to them the connection from us. Otherwise, they will go towards separation and distancing and wars and problems and troubles, like Baal HaSulam writes to us.

Question (PT 4): (34:00) How to take your excitement? Take it into the connection between us and bring that to our efforts in connection.

M. Laitman: Well, please go ahead. It all depends on us, on me and on you. Certainly, we will do it together. I try each and every morning, one more drop and one more drop to awaken you as much as possible.

Question (Rehovot): (34:38) Maybe you can help clarify again the difference between listening to the troubles of the collective and listening to the suffering.

M. Laitman: I don't know. I don't know how to explain it.

Student: What does it mean to listen to the troubles of the collective?

M. Laitman: That we have to clothe in them, this is what it says, that I have to go down, but it's not written about me, it's written about the great Kabbalists, that they have to go down to the public and integrate with them, connect with them, embrace them. These are all spiritual actions, right, you understand? And then rise together with them from this trouble, from this fall that the public is in, towards the light.

Question (PT 25): (35:36) On that topic, we are included of all the people, the whole nation. Because we also have our lives, the corona is influencing our lives, Bnei Baruch and our corporeal life, friends who suffer at work, some friends suffer at home, after the whole family is locked in for too long. Is there a certain study of our own that we have to go through to know how to deal with it?

M. Laitman: I think that we are in it. You, well, I don't know what's happening in your home, but in general, the household, the family is usually somehow connected to what we're studying. I think that the man, well, first of all, he studies from home, and all of his household, somehow they hear what he's studying, they are included with him, maybe we should perform some additional actions, so think about it. But certainly, our work would also be in the families, and in between the families, I also have conversations with the women, I don't know how, if it's more useful or less useful, you should certainly add to this, but in our homes, there has to be a feeling of participation together with us; that actually, or specifically, in such a time, what do they have, if not our method, our direction? So, are they just like the whole world, broken, having no idea where they're going, and what will happen from today till tomorrow, and they have before them thousands of troubles that might appear. In actuality, the winter is coming now, it's beginning already in Europe, and in America, there will be great problems and troubles, great ecological blows, the relationships between the different countries are becoming more and more strong and hostile, in a clear, egoistic, sharp manner. And we have to pacify our families and show them that we have a method, and we have power, and we have a foundation, and we have confidence. We have confidence. The fact that we connect between us and the Creator, even with a tiny illumination, something, it can be revealed between us, that feeling does not exist at all in anyone, and that's the most important. This is the most important, until we will raise ourselves with faith above reason, that the troubles are also coming from the Creator, and the good things come from the Creator, the Maker of light, and the Creator of darkness. And then we will be adhered to the Creator in all the different states, fully being above the corporeal reality - us and our families, and later on, more and more people around us, even on the extended boundaries of Bnei Baruch. This is what we have to be concerned about.

Student: Also, as a Ten, we're used to thinking only about the friends' spirituality, and we're trying to connect only on the spiritual level. Can a Ten provide thoughts, prayers for the general, even corporeal state of the friend? Is this something we should feel?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes, I was thinking that we will be able to. Well, I didn't think that it will be revealed as the coronavirus, that we will be isolated so much. I was pressuring us on having a storehouse, a warehouse of food that we will be eating together, and we will be certain that we can provide food, minimal, basic food to everyone. But people don't want to take part in that so much. I don't know. I'm in favor of all possible forms of participation, all the forms. We built such a big, nice warehouse of food, but in the time being, it's all spoiling because they don't want to use it. And we're even telling people, come and take what's there for free. Go ahead. Nobody wants it. And they still don't feel that we are partners between us, even in that. Well, what can you do? It's the struggle of raising children, as we call it.

Question (Tbilisi): (41:15) We feel tremendous responsibility, and that's why our group would like to thank the Creator for our Rav, who has taken us through this tough path.

M. Laitman: So then let's approach the lesson.

Reader: Yes, we're reading excerpt number 35 on the topic of “Faith Above Reason,” from Rabash, article 23. “What Is, If He Swallows the Bitter Herb, He Will Not Come Out, in the Work?”

Reading: (41:44) 35. Rabash. Article 23 (1989), “What Is, If He Swallows the Bitter Herb, He Will Not Come Out, in the Work?”

Even when he comes to know that the Creator can help him, and he understands that the real advice is only prayer, the body comes and makes him see that “You see how many prayers you have already prayed but you received no answer from above. Therefore, why bother praying that the Creator will help you? You see that you are not getting any help from above.” At that time, he cannot pray. Then we need to overcome once more through faith, and believe that the Creator does hear the prayer of every mouth, and it does not matter if the person is adept and has good qualities, or to the contrary. Rather, he must overcome and believe above reason, although his reason dictates that since he has prayed many times but still received no answer from above, how can he come and pray once more? This, too, requires overcoming, meaning to exert above reason and pray that the Creator will help him overcome his view and pray.

M. Laitman: We see each time, and to pray, and to pray, and to pray, that means to connect and to turn to the Creator, to connect and to turn to the Creator. This is upon us to do for each and every thing. Don't forget it. Whatever is revealed, it doesn't matter what it is, it is “There is none else besides Him.” It is coming from Him, and the response for it is through connection, to turn to Him and to ask for correction. Not to be clever, that we can fix ourselves, but rather connection between us, just to turn. All of our work is connection, this is called Arvut, right, and turning to Him, raising MAN. And to constantly be in that only. The work of created beings is relatively very simple and well-defined. Connection and prayer. Connection and prayer. Raising the MAN, the deficiencies, the Reshimot that are broken from Malchut to Bina. This is called MAN, Mayin Nukvin.

Question (PT 31): (44:46) How can we check that the degree of connection grows each day?

M. Laitman: Check it as you can, according to how much you feel how the Creator is becoming revealed between you. Because He is becoming revealed through connection. If you can feel inside, if you can hold the state, each and every state that is coming from above, from Him, and you, through the connection between you, are constantly in a dialogue with the Creator, in a conversation, “I to my Beloved, my Beloved to me.” Through what? Through this modem, this adapter called the group, the Ten. Otherwise, I cannot express myself, but only to the extent that I connect with others, and I want to be more connected with them, then I connect with the Creator. This is the work.

Student: Do you feel that since the time of the corona, the level of connection between us has increased?

M. Laitman: Of course, without a doubt. What do you mean? Can you compare what is happening to us today, throughout our entire world Kli, and what was going on six months ago? Six months ago, we were sitting in our auditorium, in our lesson hall, and other people would connect around us, and we would mostly talk between us, and we let a few select individuals, not even groups, to come in and participate in the study. Now, today, our body is such that there is no difference where we are, there is no difference. I actually prefer to make room, to allow to ask those who are physically distant. That is how we are connected in this integration. It is a completely different form that we have. We are trying to adapt ourselves to the last generation, one Kli.

Student: Is it possible to check the degree of our connection? Can each one check himself whether he is advancing, and that he is coming to the lesson in the morning with a greater efficiency than he had the previous day? Is that a way to check our connection?

M. Laitman: That and that which goes against it, meaning when I don't want to come to a connection, you have to check that as well. But that has to be together with the fact that I am in the lesson. If a person is not physically in the lesson, then there is no calculation with him whatsoever. He is not participating in raising MAN. He is not participating in the prayer that we are doing constantly with every sentence we utter. We have nothing to do with such people. They are outside of the main thing.

Student: When we say the word connection between us, tightening the connection, each one by himself can check it according to the degree of demand that he has with which he gets up to the morning lesson. Or when he comes to the lesson and he has no demand, but nevertheless he does come to the lesson.

M. Laitman: We forget, and that is what we have read just now. We forget that lack of connection, rejection from connection, laziness, problems, I don't want to get up, but I want to participate, and more, all of that comes from the Creator. It comes from the Creator. He creates the will to receive. He creates the darkness. Darkness is a created being; it comes from Him. Not that I need the Creator in order to overcome the darkness. Rather, I need the Creator to overcome the Creator on the problems He gives me, so I will overcome them. Like the exercise we give a baby, to do this and to do that, so he will develop himself. Our problem is that we think that we need the Creator in order to come out of the problems. Our problem is that we are not aware of the fact that these troubles come from that same Creator, and we have to relate to these two directions, light and darkness, that come from Him, in order to learn how to be like Him.

Student: You once described a state where coming to the morning lesson is like coming to get some medication, like you were sick and you had problems, and you said, you put yourself on the surgery table - do whatever you want with me. Should we reach the morning lesson in such a state?

M. Laitman: I don't know, I'm not defining it like that today. Today it's all towards connection. In the connection we receive direct IV from the Creator, called the reforming light, and then it will all work out.

Question (French): (50:45) You said the Creator makes us into His partners. Is there a spiritual degree that we have to achieve in order to actualize this partnership?

M. Laitman: To the extent you are connected with the friends, truly connected, to that extent you need to discover that you are connected with the Creator. A little bit more effort and you will begin to feel that He is dwelling between you, in the group. This is the light, that general feeling that will fill your connection.

Question (Bulgaria): (51:37) On the one hand, we need to connect in order to pray to the Creator. On the other hand, only the Creator can help us connect. So how do we get out of it?

M. Laitman: No, no, it's incorrect, friend. I turn to Him, so He would help me be adhered in the group, to the group and to Him, through all the states. And only He can do it, on the one hand. On the other hand, I know, I'm certain, I feel, I discover, that all the disturbances relative to connection were done by Him. He did it, so I will turn to Him, so I will find out how distant I am from connection, from the friends. Meaning, I need to pray for the bad as for the good, to be grateful for the bad as for the good. When the Creator gives me problems, troubles, distance from the friends, I thank Him. I used to be distant before, but I didn't feel it, and now I do. We need to understand that we are constantly in treatment of the Creator, on both sides, all the time like that, when the Creator wants us to react correctly. Thanks to that, we will come to recognize the way He turns to us, and accordingly, we will begin to resemble Him.

Question (Kyiv 2): (53:25) When you try to keep that state of prayer, you realize how weak you are, how much you don't have the power for it. What do you do about it? How do you turn to the Ten with it?

M. Laitman: Specifically, when I have no strength, no understanding, not even a desire or anything, I must enter into the group. Why are we in this world, physically? So I can perform a physical action without the agreement of my heart. I can connect with the friends even when I have no connection to them, no desire, but I can physically be connected to them - sit together, talk together, study together, and so on, and so forth. Why does that thing exist? This world is an imaginary world. It doesn't exist the way we think it does. It's a sub-level of spirituality that was given to us. So, even without desire, without preparation, without a good connection, without that inclination towards one another, nevertheless, we can be connected to one another. That's why it appears between us, these biological bodies. So in that way we can be connected, we can sit down, we can raise a L'chaim, talk various forms, we can learn from a book. It's a form that does not exist in spirituality. It's only so we could start from such things even when we don't have any spiritual strength.

Student: The prayer is an internal state. Can we take from the friends or from the Ten their impressions towards prayer?

M. Laitman: Of course, only from there you can receive an awakening. An awakening that you receive not from the Ten is an incorrect awakening.

Question (Latin 3): (55:46) Is the form of the Kli, the shape of the Kli, is that the sum-total of the emotions that every friend in the Ten has?

M. Laitman: Yes, it has to be processed, but eventually, that's how it will be.

Question (Moscow 7): (56:10) In the article we read, Rabash calls us to pray and overcome, constant overcoming, even though the person does not receive any answer. From where do we take this tolerance, this strength to constantly be in overcoming?

M. Laitman: You need to understand that you are facing the Creator. He is always behaving towards you, He is managing you, He is always in your heart and in your brain, and He is establishing them. And if He establishes in your heart and in your brain the feeling that you are not in connection with Him, that too came from Him, so you would try to find additional tactics to enter into a tighter connection with Him.

Question (PT 10): (57:08) This state that we talked about, that I should be grateful for the bad as for the good, this is a state that happens within reason or only above reason?

M. Laitman: Typically, it's above reason, but it's a simple thing. If we're talking about how there's none else besides Him and everything comes from the Creator, then how can I relate to the bad as to bad? If I know that it comes from the Creator, from the Good who does good, in order to advance us, advance me. And I need to try to agree with His path, because this is the best path for me. Then it turns out that I have to be grateful for the bad as for the good, because it's only relative to my ego, it appears bad or good.

Student: We also see that out of experience, that coming closer is only out of overcoming the bad. But this is after we go through some state that each time the next degree of evil, of bad that comes, it's impossible to relate to it within reason. I need some special force, even though we understand that coming closer is only by overcoming above the evil. So when does this trigger a care of relating to things in the right way?

M. Laitman: I didn't quite understand you. The more I understand that the Creator is playing with me in the good and in the bad, He only demands that I will recognize in these forms is that it is Him. Then this is my progress.

Student: But for all of the different degrees, the different stages of bad that I discover, I'm not capable of relating correctly to it, because every time it comes in such a way, then I'm not ready for it.

M. Laitman: It will always be like that until the final degree. It will always be like that, and it's good. That's how He's playing with you.

Student: So that's what I'm asking about. To be grateful for the bad as for the good.

M. Laitman: After you discover. In the beginning you have to fall, you can't remain in sanctity. You have to disconnect from sanctity, enter in order to receive, and then there's no Creator. That moment has to be; otherwise, you cannot acquire a new degree. So, it has to be a cessation between the degrees, and when you're falling into an order to receive only, and then you start a new degree, a new correction for a certain will to receive that now appears.

Student: I'm asking about this moment, this disconnection. Does it happen in a conscious manner, or first there has to be a fall, and only after the fall, you discover that you fell?

M. Laitman: After the fall. It has to be there. A thousand times a righteous person will fall and get up.

Student: That's clear. I'm just saying, this fall, this disconnection, it occurs in a way that is conscious, a person recognizes it?

M. Laitman: No, otherwise, it's not a fall. A fall and a disconnection is a disconnection.

Student: So, the right attitude is only after I fell, I recognize that I fell, and then I can build the right attitude?

M. Laitman: Even then, if you fell, then how can you do it? The Creator is giving you a hand. He's taking you out of there. That's how it works out. That's how it's happening to us. We just need to be more aware of it. What I'm especially trying to highlight today is to pay attention to descends, the falls, where the Creator is found. Specifically by that He's teaching us.

Student: So, when you say specifically this point that we should be aware of it, this awareness, what do we acquire?

M. Laitman: I grab Him with my two hands, like a baby that wants to embrace the older one. So, two hands, I hold Him in the good, I hold Him in the bad, because it's all from Him. And He's playing with my ego, my will to receive. And then I grab Him. And even if I go through different problems, descends, even if I walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear, because You are with me.

Question (Almaty): (01:01:56) How, during this wonderful time, can we use this moment and increase our turning to the Creator with the purpose of connecting?

M. Laitman: Normally, if you're connected with a Ten, you need to discuss how to add even more, coming closer through other groups to the Creator. If you feel that you are already in a Ten, and the Ten is as one, then you need to look for how to connect to additional Tens and then the Creator.

Question (Zichron 2): (01:02:43) About the sentence in the beginning of the excerpts. When he comes to know that the Creator can help him, the true advice is only prayer. So he's asking, he knows the Creator can help, he realizes he has to pray, but…

M. Laitman: There's a difference between a prayer that a person on the street thinks you need to pray. Of course, you need to pray. Everyone prays. And what we mean when we say we need to pray, we need to pray from the connection between us, from the point of connection when all of us cancel, annul our ego, each and every one, and we connect together as much as we can to express, to reveal the force of bestowal, Arvut. Then from the point of Arvut between us, we turn to the Creator.

Student: The question is really, how is it possible that he knows that the Creator is helping, and he needs to pray but still he cannot?

M. Laitman: We don't need to wait for the Creator to help us. We don't need it. If we can, above all the problems and troubles the Creator awakens in us, we discover these problems and troubles in the connection between us, in the coarseness between us. If we can overcome and connect above the coarseness of the Aviut between us, and from that we turn to the Creator, we don't need to know anything. Otherwise, we are asking Him to be revealed, and that's against our entire method. We learned this with you, and it's in Pticha, and now in The Study of the Ten Sefirot. How does it happen? It happens, all of it happens above the will to receive, above the will to receive, all the spiritual actions. We don't want Him to appear there; to be revealed, we don't want to know anything. Only one thing, we will perform an action, and from this action we'll bestow contentment to Him. That's it. That's what we want.

Question (Latin 4): (01:05:23) If the prayer is a deficiency, is it okay to add gratitude in the prayer?

M. Laitman: Yes, we always need to add gratitude.

Question (Tel Aviv 2): (01:05:41) I feel that the concentration in the lesson for me is divided into two. On the one hand, it's the connection with the friends, physically in the chat, if I see them opposite me sending messages, on the other hand we have the lesson, which is with you and with the friends from the world Kli. How is it possible to extract from the lesson the most, in terms of connection and also in terms of the lesson itself?

M. Laitman: If you disconnect from what I'm saying, then you're already not in the lesson. If you connect with your friends, with the entire group, as you can now imagine, which is in the connection in the lesson. If you imagine that you're connected with that and you wish to be connected with me, then you want to include all those things in the connection with the Creator, and this is the right form. But not that in the middle of the lesson you're working on different things. That's not good. Other connection is not good.

Question (New York 2): (01:07:27) Do we connect together over our inability to succeed on our own?

M. Laitman: For sure. We can't succeed alone. Each one of us alone is not a Kli. Only the connection between us. That's why if we let go of the connection between us, we are not in the wisdom of Kabbalah, not on turning to the Creator, nothing spiritual. Spiritual means after the connection, yes, past that, to the extent of the Arvut we reveal between us, to that extent we are in spirituality. That's why I was mad at Tel Aviv 2. They are doing all sorts of things, as I understood, and various things during the lesson.

Question (Turkiye 3): (01:08:36) How can I express the importance of friends in order to strengthen our bond within the group and distribute for the collective?

M. Laitman: Simple. Even when you don't appreciate them, try to act as if you are appreciating them.

Question (Moscow 2: (01:09:17) You recommended that each and every day we would put together a prayer to the Creator in the Ten. Last evening we composed one. Each one of the friends spoke, and we heard him, and then we read his prayer. So, how should we continue to work with the prayer? On the next day, it will be a different prayer. How do we work with it? What is the next step? We talked about it.

M. Laitman: You check, what we have today and create a new prayer. Each day, a new prayer. A new state - so, a new prayer. Let yourself scrutinize as much as possible the new states that awaken in you, and you want to turn to the Creator with something new, with a new desire, a new heart.

Student: So, we talked about it, we wrote it down, we put it together into one prayer. We were impressed by it.

M. Laitman: What was yesterday is done. Today, we will try for today.

Question (Moscow 7): (01:10:34) Also about the prayer. You said that we shouldn't expect the Creator to help us. In principle, this is clear in relation to what we went through now, what we talked about now. On the other hand, I remember also that one of the components of the prayer is that we have to be certain that the Creator wants to help us.

M. Laitman: We are walking on the path, and on our path, which goes from here to the end of correction, there are states we have to go through. All those states are already on the path. So, all we need to do is to do what is required of us in order to enter each and every states. Some of the states are, when we ask of the Creator, we generate a deficiency. Some of the states, we receive help from Him, seemingly, but all those things are already predetermined. They already exist along the way, and they are established. And that's how it is.
