Part 1 Lesson on the topic of “The Ten as an Environment for Spiritual Development for Everyone”

Hello, we're in a lesson on the topic of “The Ten as an Environment for Spiritual Development for Everyone.” We're going to start with the excerpts at excerpt number 9. You can find our materials throughout the Arvut system and send live questions there. Whoever asks questions in the hall is asked to stand up, speak loudly and speak into the microphone.

Reading: (00:38) 9. Baal HaSulam, “Peace in the World”

Each and every individual in society is like a wheel that is linked to several other wheels placed in a machine. This single wheel has no freedom of movement in and of itself but continues with the motion of the rest of the wheels in a certain direction to qualify the machine to perform its general function.

And if there is some malfunction in the wheel, the malfunction is not evaluated relating to the wheel itself, but according to its service and role with respect to the whole machine.

Re-Reading: (01:52) 9. Baal HaSulam, “Peace in the World”

Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (03:11) The wheel, when there’s a corruption, does the system correct it or does the wheel itself have to turn for correction? 

M. Laitman: The system doesn't correct anything. There is only connection between the cog wheels, and each one is influencing the other and the rest of the machine. 

Student: That means that actually until the wheel itself asks for correction, there will be no correction? 

M. Laitman: No. You can turn it closer to correction because one influences the other after all, but in effect, if he’s already in contact with the other wheels, he has to care about its correction. 

Student: And if a friend is asking for help, the moment she’s not capable of correcting alone by herself, are we capable in the Ten to ask for her, and then the correction is done? 

M. Laitman: Yes, you can ask for them even if she’s not asking herself.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (04:53) What is a broken wheel or a corrupted one? 

M. Laitman: We can’t see a broken wheel. We can only see the extent to which it’s not connected properly, not in adhesion with the other wheels. The wheel itself, if you are looking at it, it has no flaws, but when it is connected to other wheels, then you can see  according to how he is stopping them, or making them turn in the wrong direction. Basically, according to the connection within, you can see it is broken.

Student: Can a person according to the relationship with the society, if he has critique, he has disagreement, harsh feelings towards the society, is that the place of the break or the flaw? 

M. Laitman: That’s the place of corruption, that points to the corruption. 

Student: But with the others, he can't know if they are corrupted or not, if they’re malfunctioning. 

M. Laitman: Others can also see it.

Student: But if he has critique upon the others, it is like he’s malfunctioning. 

M. Laitman: No, not necessarily, him and others.

Student: And the correction of the wheel is? 

M. Laitman: The correction of the wheel is for him to understand how much it left the right connection with all the other wheels, at least with the ones that are near him, that are in his Ten let's say. According to how he corrects himself, he sees how everyone appears more corrected accordingly. 

Student: Does it connect to what we call annulment, that we have to always work on? 

M. Laitman: No, it's not necessarily annulment. He needs to correct himself to be properly connected to all the wheels. And his annulment is when he annuls his role onto itself, and he cares only about the other wheels that depend on him, to which he is connected. 

Student: So, what's the difference between correction and the work of the wheel? 

M. Laitman: Annulment is part of the correction. When he annuls himself, when he's not making any decisions, but only when he sees his connections with all the other wheels, when he influences them, then accordingly he makes a decision how to do it, so he will make them turn correctly.

Student: So, it's the very beginning of the correction. 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (09:05) That corrupted part that, as you describe it, he sees it this way and that way, it's nature. The Creator put a certain nature in him, that form, and I don't want to relate to it. It's a given, it's like that. He sees the good part in this, he thinks that everyone's corrupted, and that he has some kind of special method. I want to see how you relate to the rest of the society, and how it needs to operate towards him, as it sees the corruptions towards him. 

M. Laitman: To the extent that they see the flaws, the malfunctions, they try to see the corruption, to see where it belongs, what's the reason behind it, and also how to correct it.

Student: And he has to accept the influence of the environment upon him, otherwise the corruption will continue. 

M. Laitman: Yes, of course. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (10:17) Does the machine, the system, take into consideration individuals or Tens? 

M. Laitman: The machine depends on each and every one. There's no clutch pedal where one can enter into connection with others, or Ten others, and another can't. No, everyone depends on everyone. A person checks and sees how much he depends on everyone, and how he influences everyone, and accordingly he has to correct himself, and bestow to the wheels in general, to the machine in general in the best possible way.

Student: So, the calculation is towards the individual? 

M. Laitman: Yes, according to what you read, yes. 

Student: And that individual, that corrected wheel, what does it feel if it's corrected? Does it feel the totality of the machine? 

M. Laitman: He feels the totality of the machine, he feels that he's connected with them correctly, and that he's spinning with them in the right direction, at the correct speed,  meaning he's influencing everyone

Student: How does a corrected wheel influence the whole of the machine, in what does it influence, or does it just screw into the system and be part of it? 

M. Laitman: Yes, it fits into the system and that's it.

Student:  And he doesn't influence them, he... 

M. Laitman: Why not? By spinning with them in the right direction, the right speed, the right pace, the right connection, that's his role. 

Student: What is a corrected wheel? 

M. Laitman: Corrected means that he turns in the right way in the machine. 

Student: But to the individual, the machine is not important, but rather only its part in the machine.

M. Laitman: No, no, he bestows to everyone, he influences everyone. Through his Ten, he influences everyone. 

Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (13:15) If one of the wheels comes out, falls from the whole system for a long time, to what extent does it cause damage to it and to the Ten, what can you do in such a thing, and is it even called that a wheel is corrupted? 

M. Laitman: The wheel that was inside the machine and maintained his incorporation with the other wheels, and for some reason it came out of the connection with them, that's a great corruption, and the entire machine feels it, and it's lacking for the entire machine. 

Student: What do you do in such a state? How do you help that wheel, that friend, and also the Ten? 

M. Laitman: Help it understand that he is causing a great deal of damage generally speaking, and it's not worthwhile. Show it how to attend to the complete functioning.

Student: Is there a way to do this without harming that friend?

M. Laitman: No, you have to explain to him, to that wheel, what he has to do in order to be corrected. 

Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (15:05) The wheels don't manage the machine, the wheels just spin, no wheel decides what will be. Who manages the machine, who turns the machine? 

M. Laitman: Ultimately, the machine turns according to the law called Creator.

Student: So, if there is the Creator who is the one and unique that is turning the machine, and the moment He turns it, the wheel turns. So how…? 

M. Laitman: No, each one has the ability to turn wherever it needs to, what quantity and so on.

Student: What do you mean he has a possibility? He has room for decision? 

M. Laitman: Every wheel can make a decision. 

Student: Where does he get the ability to decide? 

M. Laitman: That's enough for you to know. 

Student: The question is, is there corruption in the machine if the Creator is managing it? 

M. Laitman: The Creator lets each and every wheel have free choice to turn properly.

Student: And what tips the scale if the wheel will operate according to the expectations of the Creator, or resists and... 

M. Laitman: Depending on the corruption in each and every wheel. 

Student: How do we help as fast as possible to every wheel that's stuck? 

M. Laitman: His friends who are connected with him, to the closest system, they need to show him that he is also corrupting and restricting their movement. 

Student: And it doesn't damage his freedom of choice, and he feels that I'm not operating altogether? 

M. Laitman: No, no such thing.

Student: If a Ten tells him, come back, we need you, does that not harm his freedom of choice? 

M. Laitman: No. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (17:23) According to what's written, you can't make even the smallest movement without changing the whole system. Also, when the system moves, it moves the individual. From this, you barely feel anything, meaning there's a feeling like you're free in this world. Why is it like that? 

M. Laitman: For the time being it's like that.

Student: What's the purpose that a person doesn't feel it? 

M. Laitman: Because you're not connected to the friends. 

Student: So how all in all does this machine work, if each feels dependency and it moves freely? 

M. Laitman: It moves freely according to the laws of nature, according to the commandments of the Creator, the concealed ones. 

Student: How can you get to feel that lack of ability to move along? 

M. Laitman: If we begin to keep a correct and continuous connection between all the parts of the system, all the wheels, we'll begin to feel just how much we wish to be in connection with the entire machine, how much we can determine its correct role, and in this way we'll advance. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (19:05) Is connection something that each attains, or is it something that we make?

M. Laitman: Connection is what we attain. We have connection with everyone. Direct connection through something, through someone, through a system, a part of this great system. That's how we are connected. We have to be aware of it and understand that the corruption of one causes several greater corruptions, many corruptions, both in size and quality of the corruption. 

Student: It turns out that connection is something total, it's truly absolute. Either you're connected with everyone, or you're not connected. 

M. Laitman: No, no, everyone's connected. There's no such thing that they're not connected, rather the Creator is being the foot on the clutch. 

Student: So how do we make Him shift gears in our movement so that there'll be even more connection? 

M. Laitman: No, if we feel that we are unable to turn the machine in the right direction, then we can ask Him to stop it, to help us ignite it correctly, understand where our corruption is, meaning everything is done through prayer.

Student: So, the prayer is the action that makes many disconnected parts to becoming connected? What makes us connected, if eventually it's in the hands of the Creator, this clutch? 

M. Laitman: We are connected. 

Student: Now we're connected? 

M. Laitman: Yes, except again, to what extent? The Creator is managing us in such a way that we don't feel more connection than what we're capable of correcting.

Student: When you tell us that we're lacking connection, and what we need is connection, so if we're connected, what does it mean that we're missing connection? When you say to us, you're missing connection, so what are we supposed to say when we're already connected? 

M. Laitman: No, you are not connected. 

Student: Now are we connected? 

M. Laitman: No.

Student: So, what does it mean that now we're connected because one cannot be connected? Either we're connected or not. 

M. Laitman: Not quite. 

Student: So that was my question to begin with. Is connection something that an individual does, or everyone does? 

M. Laitman: We're all doing it. 

Student: So that's the question, what does it mean that we're all connected now? 

M. Laitman: It's already the end of the correction of the system.

Student: It's clear, but to our current degree. I'm not talking about the perfect state that we want to reach, but in our current state, what does it mean that we're all connected? 

M. Laitman: We don't want to be connected, we don't know how to turn the wheels in what direction, at what speed, and that's why we don't reveal the connection between us.

There is some connection, but it's not like we depend on one another, like cogwheels. That's why we have to come closer to one another, more and more, we have to enter into this connection. When we decide to be in connection, the Creator will help us, and then we'll begin to check, to feel, to see, exactly what is the form of our connection, how much I need to turn, how fast I need to spin, in order to mobilize my friends to whom I'm connected. 

Student: So how do we move from a state where we don't want connection to a state where we want connection? 

M. Laitman: In a state where we don't want connection and a state where we do want connection, and in between those two we have free choice. We have prayer where we enter connection. 

Student: And the transition between states, how does it happen? How do we move from a state that we don't want connection to a state where we want connection? 

M. Laitman: That's through recognition that you are in contact with them, and by turning and spinning with everyone, you'll begin to feel the process the machine is undergoing and how much you can influence it toward its correct functioning, and how much by that you will approach correction. The system itself is not too difficult. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (26:11) To continue the friend’s scrutiny, you said one can connect to everyone, and others can be at the same moment as if connected, but they don't know that they're connected. Can such a state be? 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: How does this happen? How do we know that we're ready for connection, but... 

M. Laitman: Yes, but you don't know it. They are ready for connection and you don't know it, because you're not connected to them. 

Student: Meaning that their heart is open for connection and I need to discover that? 

M. Laitman: No, no, I didn't say that. They are not connected, and there are several reasons for that.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (27:23) The ideal state of connection, do we connect with our intention or is there something else?

M. Laitman: We need to connect through our heart's tendencies for connection, and through them to the correct form in which the machine needs to operate. The result of this connection is that everyone will know about the goal and will make 100% correct actions toward attainment of the goal. 

Student: So, even corporeal actions lead to certain scrutiny? 

M. Laitman: I don't think that corporeal actions, but let's say that, yes.

Student: So, is it more of an intellectual scrutiny? 

M. Laitman: Spiritual.

Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (28:50) So if we depict to ourselves the picture of the cogwheels, let’s say in a watch, where all the wheels are already connected but not each knows it. You're missing recognition, like you said, so each wheel turns whatever they feel like, and everything is broken. So, it's missing that we will know that we're influencing every movement of our wheel? That's what we need to do, and we're also missing the goal of where the Creator wants to move this machine so that it will turn in the right direction? 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (29:46) The role and service of the individual towards the rest of the machine, what is it? Is it the same role for each and every one, or does each have a uniqueness towards the machine? 

M. Laitman: Each one has a uniqueness in how he participates in the machine.

Student: How does a person know what his role is exactly? 

M. Laitman: He knows. By the time he gets to turn with the friends, he knows how to fulfill his role. 

Student: So, the first stage is to just be in the flow with everyone, and then we discover the role? 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (30:35) What's the oil that allows the machine to work in synchronicity correctly?

M. Laitman: Only the desire of the wheels that wish to turn in the right direction, at the right speed, in order for the machine to carry out its role, its function.

Student: What breaks in the system? Is it the ego, or the evil inclination or both? 

M. Laitman: Both. The ego, the evil inclination, some other corruptions that may be, yes.

Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (31:29) Sometimes it seems like the Creator Himself takes a wheel out and throws him out. Does such a thing happen? 

M. Laitman: No, no, no, no. There's always a possibility to enter the work with the other wheels, and turn with them, in the right direction. 

Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (31:04) On the wheel I don't feel that I'm corrupted, and I come to the Ten and ask for help, so that with their help I will discover what's corrupted, so that I'll turn to the Creator and ask for correction, because I myself don't feel the corruption. Is it correct to do so? 

M. Laitman: No. How come you think you're corrupt, or not corrupt, are you trying to do what's needed? 

Student: There are things that I don't know how to do. 

M. Laitman: But you know what you need to do. 

Student: Yes.

M. Laitman: So, what's the question? You also know what you are unable to do. 

Student: I'll ask concretely. I'm missing the recognition of evil, that I'm evil.

M. Laitman: I agree with you. 

Student: And I don't feel that it's comfortable to turn to the Creator and say to Him, show me how bad I am, because I'm afraid I won't be able to tolerate it. So, I come to the Ten, I say, friends help me, so that I will have a little bit of inner work in the recognition of evil. 

M. Laitman: Okay, that’s how you’re advancing. Slowly, but you're advancing.

Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (33:50) How does the Ten absorb a new wheel? How does the machine absorb a new wheel so that it will be absorbed and the machine will drive? 

M. Laitman: That's not our business, the Creator is doing all that. 

Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (34:12) In our world, if my car is driving and it sometimes breaks, I don't know what's broken, so I take it to a garage, I pay money, and they fix it and correct it for me. How do we do this in our state and the path of our correction? 

M. Laitman: You know your friends in the Ten and how you need to be connected to them in order to reveal the machine, the engine, the connection between you, so everyone would turn in the right direction and the machine will advance for the purpose of life. 

Student: And if we make efforts, dissemination, annulment, the lessons? 

M. Laitman: None of it is worth it. 

Student: So, what's the indication that something's okay or that it's about to be corrupted? 

M. Laitman: If you are connected correctly, then you feel it.

Student: What does it mean to be correctly connected? 

M. Laitman: That together, in the connection between you, you are moving the machine forward. 

Student: Can we see that each in the Ten is also a wheel and also a mechanic? 

M. Laitman: A wheel is not a mechanic, but he must know it about himself. He must know about his personal work, how he's incorporated with other wheels.

Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (36:18) I wanted to ask whether there’s a certain comfort to the created being in this whole depiction, in this whole creation? Some machine, some system, and there’s several cogwheels here, maybe there is some kind of comfort?

M. Laitman: I didn’t get it. 

Student: This description sounds like something mechanical, or we can see it as a certain relative law that a person can learn this and will feel great comfort that he has at last rid himself of being the center of the universe, but rather he'll feel that if he feels the feeling of the system, he'll be able to understand that he has a very unique role in the system. And then he'll be able to rid himself from that ego, because he'll understand that he only has such a role and nothing else is worthwhile.

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: So, the actual essence of creation seems that we constantly need to receive the feeling of the system. 

M. Laitman: That's certain. We need to build the system of connection between us, and this way to start working. To connect more and more pieces to our system.

Question (Women Turkiye 7): (38:11) We say anyone who disqualifies does so in his own flaws. So, is this also in relation to the wheels that we see as broken, or do we see a broken wheel? Is it truly broken, or is it anyone who disqualifies does so with his own flaws, and how should we relate to it? 

M. Laitman: It's possible that the wheel is not broken, but because I am broken, I see the wheel is broken. 

Question (Women MAK): (38:58) What is true annulment in the Ten so we can bestow to one another? 

M. Laitman: That's exactly what you have to do. That's how you need to connect so you'll be able to work together for the Creator, for the entire system. 

Question (Women Ukraine 2): (39:38) How to check about the correction in the Ten and not to critique or to have a critical thought? 

M. Laitman: That shouldn't be on you. We only need to think how to be in adhesion together, all of you. 

Student: It turns out that we simply have a lack and we have an incomplete prayer. 

M. Laitman: Everything will be fine. Just keep adding in the  unification or equality of directions. 

Question (Women Spain): (40:45) How does the feeling of not being free in a part of the system cause the system to feel perfect? How can a lack of something control? 

M. Laitman: That's how it works. We need to think less and just hear. Listen, listen, listen to what Kabbalists are saying until we get to know this machine, and then we'll be able to arrange it and to fix it and to move toward the end of correction. 

Question (Women MAK 104): (41:32) When one part doesn't work in balance with everyone, does it give a blow to everyone and it brings us to separation? On the other hand,  all this later becomes a stronger connection and what attitude should we have towards the Ten when this happens? 

M. Laitman: An attitude of patience.

Question (Women Hebrew 2): (42:07) It is written that a person cannot trust his own forces. Don't believe in yourself till the day you die. So, on one hand everything depends on me as the cogwheel, and on the other hand I can't trust the others. How can I make sure the wheel will not be harmful? 

M. Laitman: We move forward, we enter into connection with additional wheels, and we turn this way and that way until we begin to feel what is the right direction. 

Question (Women MAK 19): (42:57) Is it correct to see myself as a wheel, not an individual wheel but the whole Ten? 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: Is it okay to ask what’s the right place and the right speed, and can we do a scrutiny for this in the Ten? 

M. Laitman: You can, slowly, between you.

Question (Haifa 3): (43:30) Can we say that the wheel is the spare wheel? Sometimes there’s a flat tire and we replace it.

M. Laitman: No, don’t be smart, don’t be a wise guy. 

Question (Women German): (44:19) It seems like there is great difficulty to understand the essence of connection. Can you bring us practical examples from nature, how we can feel the connection in a strong way? 

M. Laitman: Connection is that we are tied together, a bunch of people together to reach a goal, that's it. We study the goal, we try to be aimed at it and to approach it so that nearing the goal, approaching the goal equals approaching, nearing between us. In this way we wish to close the distance between us, and by the same token we are closing the distance to the goal.

Question (Hadera 1): (45:36) A wheel in the system needs to operate and adapt itself to the whole system all the time. But he can't know what the roles of the other wheels around him are.

M. Laitman: He doesn't need it. 

Student: He doesn't need it, but that's done in practice. We do try to correct the wheels around us so that they will operate as if in the harmony that appears to us.

M. Laitman: You can be in harmony with other wheels, but it passes through the general system. 

Student: So, he needs to know how to accept the machine and...

 

M. Laitman: No, you don't know it and you can't know it. 

Student: I'm not saying to know, but you need to accept it upon yourself, the whole general system, and to operate according to the system.

M. Laitman: But if you can't feel it, if you can't know it, why are you saying that you have to wait for it? 

Student: I didn't say it. Maybe I'm explaining it incorrectly. I need to nullify before the general system perfectly and not to look around me.

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: Because we have that tendency inside our work in the Tens to look at what's happening around. And that needs to be annulled or do we...

M. Laitman: Annul.

Student: Okay to cancel it.

Question (Tbilisi): (47:16) During the lesson there's a feeling of a desire to complete annulment before the Creator, with the whole group together. Is that the cogwheel that works correctly? 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (German): (48:11) It seems like the Creator, because He's moving the system from us, He wants to give us the possibility to build the system from ourselves. 

M. Laitman: That's how it appears to you and it's incorrect. We just need to be incorporated in the system and its work.

Student: We're learning now the sixth part of the Study of Ten Sefirot and it talks about the building of the system. Is there a connection here with the building of the system on our behalf and what we're learning in the study of the Ten Sefirot, Part 6? 

M. Laitman: We ourselves we don't build the system, we only learn what it's made of and how we can incorporate its activation correctly. 

Student: Meaning there's a good result if we bring this impression into our Tens so that each will be participating in the system.

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Question (Turkiye 2): (50:02) How do I know that I'm ready to connect, but I'm missing the ability to feel this lack for connection? 

M. Laitman: You will start working on it together with the friends, and you will absorb their desires, and that's how you will come closer to restoring the system. 

Question (Women MAK 43): (51:01) I'm concerned if my friends will work with me, my ego will just grow and grow. By justifying it, we grow the ego so it will be a very strong egoistic power, and then that we will be able to invert to intention in order to bestow? Where will this inversion take place? 

M. Laitman: Why do you have to grow the ego? 

Student: Well, if we justify and… 

M. Laitman: Who says you have to justify him? 

Student: We're supposed to justify the friends.

M. Laitman: Yes, but not the ego in them. Think about what you're saying to one another. 

Student: How to understand which I justify and what I don't? How to differentiate? 

M. Laitman: I don't understand you.

Student: I'll think, thank you.

Question (ITA): (52:07) Does each of us have a permanent role in this system or does the system constantly change and we need to identify what the plans are towards the Creator and to change our function accordingly? 

M. Laitman: We don't have other roles. Each and every one should only see how he activates his part in the general machine as correctly as possible toward the purpose of creation. That's it all in all, that's what the mind is needed for.

Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (53:06) A few months ago, a new friend joined our Ten and we are not managing to be connected with her correctly, we're not capable of incorporating her. What to do so that our system will work correctly? 

M. Laitman: I guess you have someone who is in charge of the Ten. You need to ask.

Moderator: There's a team that cares for the women Tens. They can stand up right now and tell us who they are and what their role is. 

Student: We turned to them already.

M. Laitman: Okay, so they hear you and connect to them or they will connect to you, and that's how it will be corrected. 

Moderator: There's a women team and the case is known and it's being cared for. 

Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (54:23) If we continue this allegory, this depiction of the machine, if we know that we are traveling along the way with it and we have a common goal, and every cog works in accordance, there's fuel for this machine, which is why it needs to travel. I feel it on myself that sometimes I forget to be joyous from the path, to see the view, to look, to see how lucky I am, how lucky we are on this path. Is that the fuel that this machine travels with, in order to come to what we need to come to and want to come to? 

M. Laitman: No, the fuel is the feeling of the society that sits in the machine and that we're all connected to one another and the joy that they generate, create, that's the fuel.

Student: So, it's like a common joy.

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (55:47) I feel that some of the cogs in the system of the Ten we're close to, and they're even close, I even truly adhere to them, I really feel it, and every movement of theirs impacts me and vice versa. And some of the wheels I don’t feel at all, but it can't be that way. What I see is corrupted, because otherwise the machine wouldn't be working. So, what do I do to bring the wheels that I don't see at all closer? 

M. Laitman: To work with them more.

Student: Only in incorporation? 

M. Laitman: In incorporation, yes. 

Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (56:38) What happens with inactive wheels that don't come back to the general functioning of the system for a long time? And what's the way that the machine operates towards them? 

M. Laitman: That's a problem. You need to somehow carry them for the time being, and slowly, and make sure that they will realize, grasp the machine we're working in, how do we activate ourselves, who is activating us, and so on and so forth. 

Student: Does it depend on the machine? Does the machine have to operate in a certain way so that they'll be able to come back? 

M. Laitman: We need to behave differently, but through the machine, we are influencing them.

Question (Women Petah Tikva Center): (58:00) If I feel that I can't fulfill my role in the Ten due to life, overloaded, is it because of a lack of importance that I have? And if so, what do I need to ask for? 

M. Laitman: Maybe, it's possible, yes. What to ask for? Ask to have greater attention to the system, to each and every friend.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (58:50) Two weeks ago a great friend left us, a big heart, the father of the machine you could say.  Let's say that he built the machine. How do we as a group still turn together as we're strengthening him and he's strengthening us? He simply passed away two weeks ago.

M. Laitman: I understand. You shouldn't dwell on it too much. There's a certain number of days in which we need to say our goodbyes to the friend who left us, and then after that, there are special dates that we need to do something for him, accordingly. That's it, not more than that. Not to regret it or anything. We have a role, we have a job, we continue towards the correction of the world. 

Student: And this wheel that we're kind of missing, what do we... 

M. Laitman: Do it so it won't feel like it's missing. Fill up his space. There's no commandment to sit and cry all the time.
