Daily Morning Lesson: December 1, 2025

Part 1: Recorded lesson - Nov 2, 2020

Excerpts from the sources: “Work with Faith Above Reason”. #64

Reader: Hello. In the first part of the lesson, we'll learn from a lesson from November 2, 2020, “Faith Above Reason,” selected excerpts, continuing from excerpt number 64.

Reader: Hello, today we will be reading excerpts on the subject of "Work with Faith Above Reason." We'll read from a compilation of excerpts on the subject, we'll start with item 64. You can find all of our texts on kabbalahmedia.info or on the Galaxy platform itself, where you can click the book icon in the upper menu. You can also send us questions live on KAB.TV, and some questions relevant to the lesson will be aired here live.

M. Laitman: (00:53) All of our spiritual work, or it is mostly at least, called “work above reason,” in faith above reason. Why? Because there are two forces in creation: the force of the Creator, the desire to do good, bestow, which in the Sefirot is revealed in the Sefira of Bina - faith, bestow, love, giving, and so on - the positive force, as if; and the other force that the Creator created - existence out of absence, is the force of reception, Malchut, Daat [knowing] - what is revealed in us, in our Kilim. And from these two forces, actually, the entire system of creation is composed. We are born to, and we exist to begin with, under the system of reception, the system of knowing, the system of the force of reception for oneself, feeling, understanding, absorbing - that is our system. We understand it, we feel it, this is our world. The system of the other world, the other state, the next world, the world that is above ours, is the system of bestowal, the system of faith, this is how we call it. And we need to determine, even though we were born and we exist in the system of reception, we want to shift to the system of bestowal, which is the Creator. He created our system of reception, the system of Daat [reason], only in order to give us the possibility, the opportunity, the place for exertion, so that we will prefer His level, His existence, above our existence, in which we were born. This means that we will determine that we want faith more than where we are in the force of reception. And we are in the force of reception until we correct it, that is, we rise above it in all 125 degrees, until we reach complete adhesion with the Creator. And this is our work. Therefore, all of our work, really, is to constantly be in faith above reason, each and every moment in our life, in our existence to determine the force of bestowal is greater than the force of reception. To be more drawn to the Creator than how the will to receive, our will to receive, is pulling us back to it. And this is how we should also try to actualize it in practice. I need to try to actualize it, to build myself in a group, in the connection with the friends, to annul in them, to be immersed in them, opposite how my ego is constantly pulling me to determine by myself whatever I want, and to be by myself, or at least with everyone, but so that I feel myself that I'm above them, and so on. That is, all of our life, we want to divide it, we need to. Those who want to reach spirituality, we need to divide it into life that are in the force of bestowal, in the group, in dissemination, in connection, in the inclination towards the Creator more and more, versus how the force of reception, which is always pulling us to itself, the force of our ego - that I determine, that I do for myself, etc. There is a feeling of the person should be that I am doing something against myself for the Creator, for the benefit of the Creator. This way, if I'm constantly in such an effort, that I'm doing it, not because I want it, but because it is according to the Creator's desire, then, apparently, I am implementing faith above reason. And this is how we advance. That is, our whole way should be only with such an inclination. If you have any questions about that, I'm willing to hear them now and answer them.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (06:39) What do I do against myself and what do I do for the Creator?

M. Laitman: I constantly want to feel one opposite the other. This is why it is called faith above reason. I constantly need to establish for myself what is my desire, what I would have liked, and how I would have done it, how I would have implemented, fulfilled my desire, and what the Creator would have liked, what does He want out of me, and how I actualize His desire, and place His desire above my desire. As it says, “Make your will as His will.”

Student: To be more concrete, what does the Creator want from me?

M. Laitman: With each thing, in every place, whatever I study, I think, I do, I perform certain actions, each and everything that I relate to, I want to constantly weigh how is this favored by the Creator or not, how does the Creator want it to happen, how does He look at it? And then I want to attach myself to His view, to His outlook. This is called that I am actualizing faith, the force of Bina, that it will determine everything, and not the force of Malchut, not the force of Daat [reason]. Faith above reason, Bina above Malchut.

Student: So my action is to attribute things to Him?

M. Laitman: My action is towards the Creator, like all of my actions, they need to be aimed towards the Creator. Maybe I'm implementing them in the group, maybe it's in my life, it doesn't matter. We're talking about thoughts, about the person's desire, what is he thinking, how does he sustain himself, keep himself in the society, in the family, everywhere - but always, what am I doing it for? I am doing it because this is the desire, this is the view, this is the inclination of the Creator, and I want to attach myself to Him. This is called to raise Malchut to Bina, and to do it in a way that Bina wants, like the Creator wants. Bina is the force of God, Bina in gematria, and therefore this should be our inclination. We need to start coming closer a bit more in practice to implementing faith above reason. Not to run away from it, not to think that it is impossible. It is possible, and it is truly a spiritual action. Do even a little bit of it, already you will be in contact with spirituality. And through that, you will start to feel the spiritual realm, the spiritual world, the forces that are operating on our world. And it will open up to you the system of guidance, of providence of our world, the forces that are activating everything. Otherwise, we just exist in darkness. We can't see what is happening, what is it happening for, why, and we can't see the future or anything. It opens up to our eyes over the whole of creation, all of the world, the whole of reality. With this knowledge, a person lives in this world, but he lives after he passes away from this world. We discover the system. And then, it is ours.

Question (PT 25): (10:50) We've just come across a similar situation in our Ten. We learned that there is Israel, Torah, and the Creator. These three factors. Now, when I come to solve some problems of feeling, I relate to things, I see that there's a different demand from the Creator, a different demand from myself, and a different demand from the Ten. And so, these three parts collide, seemingly, each one presents a different demand to me, and how do I know how to choose correctly between the three?

M. Laitman: You actualize the desires of the Ten. This now is the most important thing. Through this, and this for sure will help you to disconnect from yourself, you will start more and more feel how much the Creator belongs to the Ten, the Ten belongs to the Creator, and how much you can ascribe yourself to them. In order to rise above the self, you have the Ten. This is called “From the love of people to the love of the Creator.” Rabash writes a lot about it.

Student: And it seems to me, maybe, that I feel certain influences on me from the upper force.

M. Laitman: No, no, the upper force for me is the ego, and I cannot disconnect from it.

Student: So it's only the Ten, right? We don't have any other upper force which...

M. Laitman: Yes, only the Ten, yes, with your eyes shut, only the Ten. There's nothing you can do about it. And to be adhered to them, and whatever they want, for the time being, this is what I do. The most important is to annul, just like Rabash writes.

Question (PT 31): (12:52) You said that in each and every situation, there's an opportunity to do work above reason.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Now, within my reason, I know what I feel, always, I know how to explain it each time. And in parallel, I need to think of what the Creator would do, meaning how the Creator would like me to behave. So how can I decipher correctly what the Creator wants?

M. Laitman: And I talked about it also. Look how much you learn, how much you do not hear. The Creator, now, is the group. Instead of Him, it's the group. Whatever the group wants, this is what I do.

Student: How can I tell what the group wants? I'm going through some situation now.

M. Laitman: Well, you talk between you. You decide on something. You hear what they want, what they think, what they decide. At least, don't follow what they're saying, but you can do what they want to some extent. Help them, encourage them, fulfill them in some way. Already, you're placing the group's desire or the Creator's desire - this is how the Creator presents Himself; He's standing behind the group - and that way, you come closer to Him.

Student: So if now I go through a complicated situation, which throws me off, and I now want to think of how the group would like to see that situation, how do I know how to decipher correctly the right approach?

M. Laitman: Ask them. Ask them. Speak with them. But don't be inside of your own thoughts and desires only. You have to listen to them. You have to feel it from them. You have to forcefully, physically enter between them, and then try to absorb from them their views, their desires, their thoughts, intentions, purposes, and try to adhere to them as much as possible. Spiritually, you must annul towards them. It is simply, this is how it was created, this world, on purpose. Otherwise, there's no need for this world. Only for that, so that the person will have an environment by which he can use it as a springboard to ascend to the Creator.

Student: So, I don’t need to share my situation with them? I come in and annul.

M. Laitman: Yes, yes, you don't have to. Maybe you are scrutinizing the situation, and then you are allowed to speak as well. But first of all, see the thoughts, views, goals, intentions they have, and then annul before them. Read again Rabash's articles about the Ten. You will see them each time in a new way.

Question (Rehovot): (16:06) In some of our sources, it's written that the Creator's goal is to do good to His created beings. He's good, who does good. In some places it's written that He wants to delight His created beings. We know that the child doesn't always enjoy what's good for it.

M. Laitman: So, then do you do everything the child wants, or do you want to educate him?

Student: I want to educate him, but what's the difference between wanting to enjoy or wanting to do good to us?

M. Laitman: Well, we can't do what's good for us right now, because what's good for us right now is dictated to us by the evil inclination, and we want to rise above it.

Student: The question is, the Creator's goal is to do good to us, or to delight us. These are two different ways to phrase it in our sources.

M. Laitman: So what? To do good to us and to delight us, isn't that the same thing? On the condition that we are on His level, on the level of bestowal, because only there it is possible to feel the true good, and not the good in our will to receive, which is limited and corrupt. I can't quite answer your question, because you need to read a lot more about this topic of faith above reason. But it will come, read this entire compilation of excerpts about faith above reason, soon we will start to work on it, and try to be included in it. But again, I like I said in the introduction I gave now, before I started asking you, that these are two levels. Faith above reason, means that Bina dwells and rules over Malchut, and that Daat [reason], means that Malchut rules Bina in everything. So we can be on two levels: within reason or in faith. And all of our work is from reason, that is from a will to receive, forcefully, through the Ten, through prayer, through all of these things, to raise ourselves to the degree of faith, the degree of bestowal, the degree of connection. This is called to rise from reason to faith above reason. And why does it say faith above reason? Because we need to specifically feel that the force of faith dwells over the force of reception, over the Daat, the reason.

Question (California): (18:54) Rabash is doing a real miracle here in North America, especially here with Americans. We've implemented Rabash's writings and his principles in all three or four of our daily connections. And something, he's revealing this social, the problems, but like you're saying, in a way that we can rise above everything. We see the lesson as a place where we can all come together and unify these deficiencies. And everyone's getting the confidence to sort of have a voice and be leaders here in America. It really feels like this light of Bina happened through the Rabash’s principles. My question is, when we come together before the lesson and during the lesson, what happens then? What are the deficiencies?

M. Laitman: I have no deficiencies, when I come to the lesson, I have no deficiencies. I'm included in the Ten. The Ten for me during the lesson is, let's say, the 2,000 friends that I see before me, that are connected to me, and I'm included in them. So what deficiencies can I have? Only one lack - how can we be even more connected in order to even more connect with the Creator? Only one lack. Besides that, nothing. There are no lacks. All the rest is the imaginary world. There is only the Creator and us who can even more attach ourselves to Him. That is the whole of reality.

Student: A feeling of gratitude.

M. Laitman: Thank you. I'm happy to hear it.

Question (Kavkaz): (21:07) What does the Creator need our efforts and overcoming for?

M. Laitman: In order for us to reach His degree, being like Him. Just like you demand of your little child that he will perform all kinds of efforts, and he will study, and know things, and grow stronger. What for? He doesn't want it out of himself, rather, you obligate him because you want him to be a grown-up.

Question (PT 5): (21:40) As you said in the beginning, what typifies work above reason is that the person does something that goes against…

M. Laitman: Against his view.

Student: Yes, against himself. Where to look for work above reason when you don't have this resistance?

M. Laitman: Try to ask yourself, what does the Creator want now out of me? And do it. That's it.

Student: But if there is no sensation of resistance; there's gratitude, joy. And it's fine, we're obligated to enjoy acts of bestowal. So, where is the work of above reason?

M. Laitman: Apparently, you're not asking yet. What does the Creator want? He wants connection. He wants you to rise above your ego, that you will be immersed in the group, that you will do as much dissemination as possible in order to publicize the knowledge of the Creator in the world. This is what the Creator wants. The Creator wants to fill all of the created beings with all of the good that He has, that He had prepared in advance. Are you truly doing it, each and every moment? Then you are in Gmar Tikkun, the end of correction. And if you're not in Gmar Tikkun, apparently, you still lack that force of scrutiny. So try, try to check.

Question (PT 23): (23:29) When do I argue with the desires of the Creator and the Ten? And when do I accept their will unconditionally?

M. Laitman: To argue with the Creator? Well, for the time being, you cannot, because you have no connection with Him. You need to acquire the quality of Bina, and then you will have the right line and the left line, and you will be able to start arranging the system in between them. It is still far away. I don't even understand where from you have this desire to argue with the Creator? Who are you? How do you feel Him? Argue about what? You don't exist yet. Just realize that you do not exist yet. So who is arguing? That egg that hasn't even started to develop yet in the womb of the mother? It starts to argue?

Student: To argue with the wishes of the Ten.

M. Laitman: To argue with the desires of the Ten, you're not allowed. This is your evil inclination. It's the very last thing that you can do before you actually leave them. If it is clear that this is the desire of the Ten, and it is clear that you are opposite to it, then nothing is left for you - either you surrender, or you get out.

Question (Turkiye 3): (25:14) Can you say Daat [reason] is a gateway to go faith above reason?

M. Laitman: The fact that we have reason, it helps us to find what it means, faith above reason. Because reason is what I know, what I understand, what I feel, what is in my possession, in my forces. That is all called reason, Daat. And I build above it the degree of faith, the degree of bestowal, against reason, in spite of the reason. And this is how I build the upper world, the Creator. This is why the Creator, Boreh, is called Bo-U-Reh, come and see, and you have made Me. This is why above reason, we build the degree of faith, Bina. Yes. It exists; however, it is outside of us. We need to build it.

Question (ITA 4): (26:48) What is the force of Malchut in the group, and how can we use it, in order to reach faith above reason?

M. Laitman: We are now talking about the fact that Malchut in the group exists in each one of us. We need to rise above the Malchut of each one, and to be immersed in the collective force of the group. This is how we reach the degree of Bina. Later on, we will talk about the collective Malchut. First, we have to rise, each one has to rise above his desire, so that the desire of the group, the thought of the group, the idea of the group, the purpose of the group, will, for me, be everything. I accept it above any doubt. And then we will talk about what's next. First, we have to reach that. It is called, make your will as His will.

Question (Kyiv 1): (27:58) The force of Bina is that of rising above yourself. Is that, when I integrate with the desires of the friends? Is that the force of Bina?

M. Laitman: Yes, this is how it is, for the time being. Usually, this is how it is.

Student: But what matters here is for that desire to be connected, for us to connect these desires together?

M. Laitman: We need to feel the view of the group, its state, its goal, the goal of the society, of the Ten, and then, according to that, to adapt myself to it, as much as possible.

Student: If not going to specific cases, in general, we're talking about a single desire, which is for connection, right?

M. Laitman: But the inclination towards connection must be such that I'm not pulling them to me, but rather I'm pushing myself to enter them, into them. This is the inclination towards connection. They determine the state to which I come.

Student: I integrate with the desires of the friends - one, two, three, all of them together. What does it mean that from that state I see what the Creator wants?

M. Laitman: This is what the Creator wants. The Creator brings the person to the good faith, and He says, “Take it,” this is called, take it.

Student: But afterwards, in that desire, can you add some analysis?

M. Laitman: It will all change, the group, the view in the group, the desire in the group, the goal in the group, it will change, and you will also change, and each time you will have to adapt yourself to the group more and more. And then you will see how much you are advancing with the group. And this is how it is with each and every one.

Question (Latin 7): (30:28) If everything comes from the Creator, and I have the work of going above reason, what work do I do, and what work does the Creator do?

M. Laitman: The Creator does all of the works. This is why everything that we study is called the work of the Lord. And we only want to adapt ourselves to agree with those states that He establishes for us. Because the whole world that I feel, you and everything in general, it is all created for me by the Creator. And I have to accept it, since by this I come closer to Him, by annulling myself and being immersed in the world.

Question (Moscow 7): (31:32) How to work correctly with Rabash's articles throughout the day, if you don't feel any taste for it?

M. Laitman: You need to read until you feel a taste, a few times. And play with it as much as possible. And specifically, if there is no taste don't claim that, “Well, there's no taste, what can I do? It's not tasty.” Like little children. But rather, of course, it's not tasty to your will to receive. You feel in it a taste of dust. But specifically, you have to engage in it and pray to the Creator that He will give you the strength to engage in it even more, to understand even more, to feel even more, that He will give you a taste in connection. And in all of the different details in the connection, the entire wisdom of Kabbalah speaks about this Ten that starts to feel themselves as ten Sefirot. And they start to constantly scrutinize what exists between them in those ten Sefirot, in the group. What kinds of connection are there between you? And how is the Creator revealed accordingly inside of them, inside of these Sefirot, that is between these friends? This is what you're studying, and there is no more. That only is the whole of reality.

Question (Ashkelon 2): (33:27) To further the scrutiny here, because I really connected to what the friend said and what you answered regarding what the Creator wants from me. So about me, maybe others also feel, and I feel that He wants me to be happy, to perform all these actions with joy. Is that something you need to ask for, joy?

M. Laitman: Well, first of all, we start forcefully, we establish ourselves as much as needed. After you establish yourselves correctly, then you start to check. Are we in joy or not? Joy is considered that I'm already enjoying. I understand that joy should be the result of good deeds, and a good deed is a deed of connection. Am I drawn to connection? And if I am drawn, forcefully, do I feel joy out of it? Is the joy because I'm going against my desire specifically, or the joy is because I'm with the friends and I feel connection with them and I feel joy out of that already? And this is what you have to scrutinize. Rabash writes a lot about this as well, about those states of joy as a result of good relations, good deeds.

Question (PT 24): (35:03) If I'm not the created being yet, so where is the prayer, where does it take place in me?

M. Laitman: Your prayer exists inside this system that doesn't change. It is only becoming revealed to you, more or less. But whatever you pray, you want, you ask for in a good state or in a bad state, it is all included in the same system. You never leave your place. It's not that you physically connect or disconnect. You're influencing the entire system in which you exist all of the time. Your place there is permanent. It is the root of your soul. And then according to how much you detect yourself, locate yourself as belonging to the system more and more, being adapted to the system, to that extent you grow and you influence it. And you're rewarded with feeling how it influences you in return.

Student: You said previously that we are like the egg, a small egg. So the purpose is to identify the system itself?

M. Laitman: Yes, you need to detect the system itself. You need to be in it. You need to truly feel that you are in this entire system, even though maybe you don't yet know and feel where you are. Your place doesn't change. Your attitude to the system changes. And then you discover that the entire system towards you is an ideal system. It is corrected because anyone who disqualifies is disqualifying through his own faults. This is how you discover it.

Question (Unity 4): (37:21) How to annul myself equally towards each and every friend in order to achieve a connection in the Ten? It doesn't always succeed.

M. Laitman: I can't tell you how to do it. You need to do it. That's it. You understand? That's it - either you're doing it, or you're not doing it. It has to be a law that cannot be broken - you have to reach connection. The Creator brings you to the good faith, right? And you must actualize this good faith. Accept it as good, that this is precisely what is suitable for you, and you have to do it this way. And even if you spend 20 years doing it, 30 years, it doesn't matter how long, you have to reach connection. Because inside of this connection only, you discover your soul, your eternal life. And all of these excuses, leave them on the side. For the time being, you have to do everything above all excuses. And we will now go to the text.

Reader: So first, we just want to say that this compilation of excerpts on the subject of work above reason was sent as a booklet. It also appears on Kabbalah Media, all these texts. You're welcome to download it and read it throughout the day.

Reading: (40:45) 64. Rabash. Assorted Notes. Article 572, “Two Labors” - Twice

When one gives all his energy and efforts for the sake of the Creator, this is his only purpose, and the world was created for this purpose, as our sages said, “The whole world was created only for this” (Berachot 6b), meaning for the fear of heaven.

Hence, when he answers the wicked that he is going above reason, which is against the intellect, the intellect can no longer ask any questions because all the questions are within reason, whereas above the intellect there is no place for questions.

Hence, when the wicked one asks the questions, he is told that now is the time when I can do my work in faith. In other words, by the very fact that you are asking a question and I reply to you that I am going with faith, and I am not giving you an intellectual answer, this is a sign for you to know that my work is with faith above reason.

It follows that now you have caused me to make a Mitzva [commandment] in that only now does it become revealed to all that the path of the Creator is only faith.

Reader: Excerpt 65 from Rabash.

Reading: (42:46) 65. Rabash. Article 12 (1989), “What Is a Groom’s Meal?”

a person should accept faith above reason even though he has no feeling and no excitement about taking upon himself the burden of the kingdom of heaven. Nevertheless, he should agree with that state and say that this must be the will of the Creator that he will work and serve Him in this lowliness, so he does not mind what elation he feels about this faith because about himself, meaning his own benefit, he has no concern, but only about the benefit of the Creator. If He wants him to remain in that state, he accepts this unconditionally. This is called “unconditional surrender.”

M. Laitman: We don't know what to do with this, with what we are reading. Why? Because we do not ascribe ourselves to the system of the soul, to the ten Sefirot, or to the group, that I have to find my connection with them. I read, “reason,” “faith above reason,” this way, that way. What can I do with it? Do something very simple. Connect. Connect in such a way that there would be no difference between me and them, between everyone, so that we would be as ten Sefirot, as one spiritual Partzuf. And then, if we will connect, we will start to feel what is spirituality, what is a Partzuf, how does the Creator work inside of it, we will already be in a different world. Instead of people, I will feel ten Sefirot, in which the upper force is. This is already the upper world; it's not our world. And by that, I'm shifting from one world to the other. And this way, I'll continue to exist specifically through that. I will care about corporeality, because I'm still not entirely disconnected from it to spirituality, but I will care for it for something necessary, as I'm taking care of a horse, a donkey, some animal that I have next to me, by which I nevertheless sustain myself. But all of my spiritual work works the Creator, it is inside of this Kli. And in this Kli the Creator is giving me something as the host, and I, as the guest, relate to Him also. It's all inside this Kli, inside the Ten. The guest and the host, we meet together in the Ten. “I to my beloved, and my beloved to me.” This is how it is. And this is all of our work. Therefore, when we read all of these verses, try to think, how do you actualize them in the Ten? And if somebody doesn't have a Ten, he must very quickly, as soon as possible, make sure that he will have one. Otherwise, all of his progress would be only about what's written in a book, but he'll never be able to actualize it. Because the wisdom of Kabbalah is a practical wisdom. That you learn, I'm being taught from one lesson to the next how I should actualize the connection more and more until I start to discover, according to the intensity of the connection, the Creator who is between us more, and more, and more. And this is how we attach ourselves to each other until we become a single Kli, as it was before the sin of the Tree of Knowledge, before the ruin of Adam HaRishon, right? And then we connect between us, and we feel inside of us the Creator, the entire upper world, our eternal state. We already reach eternity. We rise to the degree of faith, the degree of bestowal above reason. Is it clear?

Question (Hadera 1): (47:21) It seems to me that as a schema it's clear, and we are constantly trying to do it. In the stage where we haven't yet reached that, we're just doing work all the time. We know that these are hard efforts, great efforts, and we constantly discover that. We discover something negative, you're not there yet, and how much the opposite of it, etc. In that stage, is it possible to reach true joy, meaning joy in your emotions, or it's only because your mind tells you that this is how it is, and that's indirect joy, kind of?

M. Laitman: The fact that I'm no longer like a common person in the world, but instead the Creator brought me to the group and told me, take this for yourself. It means that He prepared a place for me. He wants to reveal to me a place in the eternal system where we all are. And I was awarded with Him doing this, and He does it in a very deliberate way, holding me by the arm, by the hand, and bringing me like a mother brings her child to kindergarten for the first time. That's how He takes me, and He tells me, this is your group, and you make the connection here, and through the connection you'll start knowing Me, and I cannot do more for you than to bring you to the group. And everything else - well, we will meet in the group, or I will appear to you as the kindergarten caretaker, or as friends, or whatever, it doesn't matter, but you connect in the group, and there you will come to know Me and begin to grow. Well, I don't know, you can have another visualization or whatever.

Student: When joy comes, I think that in my analysis, I'm always using my ego, always.

M. Laitman: Joy is an outcome of good deeds, a result of good deeds. It's the extent to which I come to the Creator. That needs to be the source of joy. And I conduct scrutiny, where do I get my joy from?

Question (ITA 4): (50:12) What does it mean to reach eternity? Is there another kind of existence somewhere else?

M. Laitman: No, there is nothing else. Everything else is in our imagination, in our will to receive. There is only one place, only one world, which is the spiritual world, the force of bestowal, the Creator. There is none else besides Him. And there is similarity, or rather, sorry, there is this imagination that we exist outside of Him in our world. And that exists so that we make an effort and join His world. But our world, indeed, is called the imaginary world, the egoistic world, where we exist in order to show that we do want to integrate in the Creator's world. And there is no other reality. There is only the reality of the ten Sefirot of bestowal.

Question (PT 29): (51:24) According to the text, what is this state that a person takes upon himself faith above reason, but at the same time he is in lowliness?

M. Laitman: Yes, he is in lowliness, because what can he take pride in? He makes efforts to connect to the power of bestowal and to do everything that this force of bestowal dictates. It means that he, meaning his ego, is in lowliness, and he is glad about that.

Question (Zafon 2): (52:04) How to correctly connect to the spiritual root?

M. Laitman: To the group.

Question (Focus Group): (52:18) Is it enough that I bestow to the Ten, and then the entire Ten awakens for bestowal, or does each friend have to bestow to the Ten?

M. Laitman: Mostly, I have to detect the Ten, their force, their energies, their spirits, their goals, their desires, and to adhere to them as much as I can. That's it. To annul myself. And you can read what Rabash writes.

Question (Kyiv 1): (52:59) Those nine friends of mine, those nine desires, in such adhesion, they become one?

M. Laitman: They all connect, all the ten friends, they connect together into one system, and that happens through the influence of the upper light. And then we discover that we exist in a system which exists in order to attach itself more and more, to attach these ten parts together more and more, so that in the connection between them, the essence of the connection between them will be the Creator.

Student: We connect all of us together, and we want to bestow from our connection to the Creator, right? To give Him a place to be revealed. Does His desire meet our desire in some place, is there some meeting place, meeting point?

M. Laitman: If you want to connect, in order to give Him room to be revealed, so that your bestowal will be like His bestowal, then you discover mutual forces of bestowal, “Me for my beloved, and my beloved for me,” as we say, and then you discover Him, within the connection between you. Meaning that your connection takes on the shape, the form of the Creator. That's why it's called Boreh, Bo-U-Reh, come and see, you make Me, you build Me. Because we've succeeded in connecting so much that the form of our connection is the force of bestowal called the Creator. And that way we connect more, and more, and more above our ego, which constantly grows. And we will connect more and more, more tightly, in a better scrutinized way. And the Creator will be revealed more and more. And before we connect, there is no Creator. There is a general upper force which governs us. But the actual Creator is what is revealed between us. We raise MAN to Him; we receive from Him. Amongst ourselves the more we can connect, we activate Him, He activates us. This is the entirety of the wisdom of Kabbalah. This is all the upper reality, the upper world.

Student: We seemingly raise MAN to Him from our connection. So His MAD, in which manner does it come down to us? As a form of connection?

M. Laitman: For the time being, yes, we don't know exactly what we receive and how, but later we will know. If we control all of our desires, the connections between them, and we raise a demand for Him, and we understand what demand it is exactly, then into that demand we will receive a reply. And then we will have MAN and MAD that clothe on each other, and accordingly we will be building the new reality.

Student: So it happens in parallel. Within the inside of the desire itself, we seemingly discover the presence of the Creator?

M. Laitman: We will see. We will see how it happens.

Question (PT 3): (56:48) A person should ask himself, what does the Creator want out of me towards connection and towards dissemination. This is what I understood. How will I know what does the Creator want towards the Ten, towards connection? It's clear, because we have Rabash's advice to go against the ego and perform annulment. But towards dissemination, that's less clear because here the ego is involved. So how do I check what does the Creator want out of me regarding dissemination?

M. Laitman: To connect the whole vessel, which is broken up, scattered, into the original ten Sefirot, which are called the soul of Adam HaRishon. That's what He wants. That we call the corrected state, the state of the end of correction.

Student: So in dissemination, the scrutiny is also only internal?

M. Laitman: That is what you do. That's upon you to do. It's your duty. Of course, there's scrutiny. It's not up to you to complete the work by sustaining your group, establishing your group. No, you have to reach a state where through the group, you guide all of creation towards the Creator.

Student: Well, there's no question about that. The question is more corporeal. The expression of dissemination, that should also be in my scrutiny. For example, should I do clips or articles? I don't know. The manifestation, the expression of the dissemination, should the person scrutinize it also?

M. Laitman: I don't know. Maybe you can stand out in the street and shout. I don't know. Why are you asking me such questions? I'm not your boss, your work organizer, right? You need to look, to search for the way to express the Creator's will.

Student: But how do I scrutinize it? That's my question.

M. Laitman: Ask, request, but don't drop this on me. I'm not your kindergarten caretaker. You have to be independent. You have to be worried about - how do I perform what the Creator asks of me?

Question (KabU 1): (59:16) How can a question within reason point us toward the above reason?

M. Laitman: I'm not asking a question within reason. I'm asking how to rise above reason. Because above reason, you find the will of the group, the will of the Creator. And I want these desires of the group and within the group, the will of the Creator, I want that will to guide me in all my actions. And that is what I try to... that's how I try to establish myself towards the purpose of creation. If I subdue myself and accept the reason of the Ten as replacements to my own reason, that's how I advance.

Question (Piter 1): (01:00:37) I know that the friends want for me to come to the morning lessons. That's their desire. Instead of that, let's say, I lie in bed, I want to rest, I want to sleep. From where can I take the power to specifically actualize the desire of the friends and not mine?

M. Laitman: Try to detach from your will and think of how now you want to do the will of the Creator. I'm now lying in bed, right? I understand you. And I share your sorrow. And now I want to rise and to fulfill the desires of the Creator, the will of the Creator. So, I have two options here. Either I fulfill my bodily desire, or maybe I want to fulfill the Creator's desire. It's one of the two. If I fulfill the Creator's will, then I'm performing a principled spiritual action by which I attribute myself, I affiliate myself with the Creator. And then all my following actions will come out of me having risen from my own degree to His degree. And so that's how I try to elevate myself. And perhaps it's not sufficient for me to think about the group, but the fact that I now choose whether to belong to my body or to the Creator. Think about it more, and more, and more. Don't get up. Stay in bed and think more and more. But don't disconnect from this thought where I want to follow the Creator's will or not. Yes or no. Yes or no. And then you will see how more and more you will find the strength to get up and to maintain this thought always. I'm now as though hypnotized. I'm walking around doing the Creator's will. Whatever He wants, I'm going to do. Try it. Later, I'll give you further advice.

Reader: Reading Excerpt 66 from Rabash.

Reading: (01:03:18) 66. Rabash. Article 4 (1991), “What Is, “The Saboteur Was in the Flood, and Was Putting to Death,” in the Work?”

lowliness is when one subdues oneself and works above reason. This is called “lowliness,” when he lowers his reason and says that his reason is worthless.

In other words, man’s reason dictates that if the Creator gives him all his needs, which the will to receive understands that it deserves, then he can love the Creator. That is, he loves Him because he satisfies all his needs. If He did not, he would not be able to lower himself and say that his reason is worthless. Rather, at that time he would depart from the Creator and say that it is not worthwhile to serve the Creator if He does not grant him his wishes. It follows that this is called “proud,” since he wants to understand the ways of the Creator, in what is He regarded as good and doing good, if the body does not get what it demands. About such a proud person the Creator says, “He and I cannot dwell in the same abode.”

But if he lowers himself and says, “I cannot understand the ways of the Creator,” and he says that what his reason dictates is worthless, but he is going above reason, this is called “lowliness,” and it was about him that the verse, “The Lord is high and the low will see” was said. He is rewarded with the Creator bringing him near Him.

Question (KabU 3): (01:05:18) Where and in what do we apply faith above reason in a Ten?

M. Laitman: From when? From the moment you decide. The first day when you entered the wisdom of Kabbalah and heard about reason; rather, above reason, faith above reason, and if you have a Ten, you're now capable of, well it can be a group of five, it doesn't matter, ten, but a small group, you want to reach, and you want to reach the purpose of life, to open up, to discover the upper world, the Creator, to live a spiritual life, an eternal life, right now. Then in order to rise from the degree of the beast, the life of a beast, the degree of the animate to the degree of speaking, that you can do only by applying faith above reason. And if you do not do that, you remain on the degree of the animate - still, vegetative, animate - on the degree of this world. That's how you're born, you live, and you die. And if you rise to the degree of faith, the degree of bestowal, that's the force of the Creator, which you acquire in your desires, which you annul, which you transition from in order to receive, to in order to bestow in the Ten together, and you receive the force of bestowal, which binds you together, then you become a Partzuf, meaning a spiritual formation. And even though your bodies may die, there is no longer a connection between your bodies and that Partzuf that you constructed, and then before bodily death, you're already in the sensation of eternal life through the connection between you and attaining the Creator. And that's how you continue. So, the desirable form that we need to attain is such where we come to build the vessel, and the vessel is fulfilled, at least to a certain degree, before we pass on from this world. And that's why you have this opportunity, you, all of you have this opportunity, so please, fulfill it.

Question (Moscow 4): (01:08:23) How do you disconnect from the thought about yourself and to start to fulfill the Creator's desire?

M. Laitman: More and more you need to think about how, when you think about yourself, you're thinking about your beast. It's a body, it's a piece of carbon, thinking of how to exist more comfortably from one moment to the next. That's all that's happening here, really, and you do not want to belong to that. You want to belong to the eternal part of you, the part, the divine part from above, as we call it, the will to bestow, which you acquire together with the friends above your will to receive, and then inside of that, you live. Think about it, think about it, all of you, build that form up correctly, and so you will advance.

Question (Ashkelon 3): (01:09:39) How is it possible to understand what is the view of the group if the group doesn't manage to reach a single uniform reason, a single view?

M. Laitman: I don't understand what it means that the group cannot reach some uniform reason. You don't need to do that. Who are you? The Rabash, the Kabbalist writes to you what you need to do. You have doubts about this, you disagree, you have different understandings, you have different opinions, you're smarter than him? You attain the spiritual world and the Creator, and you actually have something to go against what he says? I don't understand this. The group agrees. The group doesn't agree. If you don't agree, then you need to understand, we are in disagreement, and we want to remain as beasts. Fine, each one in his place, but it should be clear to you what it means that you disagree. About a state where you are indecisive, like the Kabbalists say, it's called, “The fool sits idly and eats his own flesh,” and then you will keep being sorry about why don't I have it? Why don't I have it? And you should know that you will never have it. And that is because there are spiritual laws, which if you follow, you get it. And if you don't, you don't. Period. So, there's nothing to complain about here. When will I have it? When? When you decide to have it. Because it all depends on your actions. And the Creator doesn't let go of it even a little bit, because it is a law.
