Reading: (00:42) Letter No. 42. 14,Tammuz, Tav-Reish-Peh-Zayin, July 14, 1927, London

To the honorable ... may his candle burn:

With the words below, I will open my heart to you: I am very surprised that the friends are not missing my approaching return home as they should be. But I think of you that you are nonetheless the best among them because you cannot write me and explain your words, so you are more in need of a face to face encounter than the rest. Because of it, I think that you are longing more than they, so I will speak and feel better.

... But on the other hand, let us count the gains you have acquired in all your days with me. Although it is not yet clear who is to blame, but be that as it may, the hope is dwindling and strengthening is required.

On my part, I cannot help you in that, except to guarantee that the fault is not at all mine, but yours alone due to your lack of knowledge or weakness of faith and so forth. This is why all my prayers for you did not help you because you still did not understand how to execute it.

Therefore, let me give you a complete introduction, which you will keep and feel better: When the Creator is fond of a person and He calls him to cling to Him, of course he is ready and willing for it with all his heart and might. Otherwise, He would not invite him to His meal. If the faith in his heart is as a stake that will not fall, he understands this faithful calling and recognizes his place forever. Then, he does so and eats, and welcomes the King’s face. And it does not cause him diminution because his mind and faith are complete.

Our sages said, “Fear the Lord your God, to multiply wise disciples.” It is to multiply those who unite in true unity, and happy are those who live up to it.

You can see the validity of the words in you, yourself. When the time was ripe and you were fit for bonding, I did not waste time to wait until you came to my house. Rather, I was promptly at your place. And although you did not see me physically, you felt my love and the sublimity of Kedusha [holiness] at the bottom of your heart.

Then, all that was left for you to do was hurry and greet me with love. One who craves, does and completes his part. So you did, sending feelings of love, sublimity, and joy to my ears all the way from your home to the hill, with faithful passion.

But once you climbed up the hill and greeted me, the joy and love began to wane. It happened for your lack of faith in me and in my sincere love for you, as you to me, as the water-face to the face. This was the first flaw between me and you, for with that thought you immediately departed and drew far from me to that extent.

Indeed, so is the nature of anything spiritual—the matters are woven in lightning speed, and conception and birth are near. Therefore, once your belly conceived this fear, “You promptly gave birth to straw.” That is, you doubted yourself, and your pleasant, sublime, and exalted thoughts about me, that they were exaggerated, that maybe it is not so, and then, “of course it is not so.” Thus, I was necessarily separated from you and kept all my work and labor in deposit for a better time.

At the right moment, I returned with you as before, and you, too, repeated your previous acts, more or less. At times you wished to hear from me explicit words about it, as one speaks to one’s friend, and not in any way less. But I am not good at that, as it is written, “For I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.” You, too, should not hope for it in the future unless you merit sanctifying your corporeal body, with the tongue and ears, to such an extent that it will equal the merit of the spiritual.

But you cannot understand it because you have no perception of the hidden. But I, all that I am permitted, I do not withhold at all, and “more than the calf,” etc.

Let me picture for you your above-mentioned issues with me in an allegory: A man walks along the way and sees a lovely garden. He hears a voice calling him, coming from the king, who is walking in the garden. Excited, he jumps the fence in one leap and is inside the garden. For all his excitement and rush, he does not feel that he is walking in front of the king, and the king is near him, strolling behind him.

So he walks and thanks and praises the king with all his might, aiming to prepare himself to meet the king. He does not notice whatsoever that the king is next to him.

But all of a sudden, he turns his face and sees the king right next to him. Naturally, he is overjoyed. He begins to follow the king, praising and glorifying as much as he can, the king in front of him, and he, behind the king.

So they walk and stroll up to the gate. The man walks out the gate and returns to his initial place, while the king remains in the garden and locks the gate. When the man sees that he has been separated and the king is not with him, he begins to look for the gate through which he came out when the king was in front of him. But there is no such gate at all, but only as he came in the first time, when he was walking in front of the king and the king was behind him without his noticing.

So it should be now, but it requires great craftsmanship. Understand it and study this allegory, for it is the same between us. While you were with me and I felt the chill that was born in you compared to the past, you should have nonetheless concealed your face from looking at me, as if I know nothing of all that had happened to you and went through your heart along the way to me.

This is the meaning of “And they believed in the Lord and in His servant, Moses,” because in return for, “And Moses hid his face,” he was rewarded with, “and the image of the Lord does he behold.” That is, if you had believed in my prayer for you, and while I was with you, hearing all the praises and glorifications that you thought of me, there is no doubt you would be ashamed of the coldness instead of the warmth. And if you were properly ashamed and regretful, you would be rewarded with the Creator’s mercy over you, and then, more or less, the excitement would return to you, and you would be rewarded with uniting with me properly, as a stake that will not fall forever.

Yehuda Leib

M. Laitman: What can we add? What can we add?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (13:52) What does he depict exactly in these states where in the beginning he exerts to enter the garden of the king, and then he doesn't pay attention that the king is next to him, and then he does pay attention that the king is next to him, and then somehow out of habit the king disappears from him, and then he finds him outside. What does this depict?

M. Laitman: Lack of adhesion before he entered the garden, and lack of adhesion after he was in the garden. And that he was in it, so much so that he actually leaves the garden and doesn't even feel that he's leaving the king.

Student: So could it be that the, it means that the Creator gave him this awakening from above without him adding his awakening from below and that's how he lost this gift, that's what it means?

M. Laitman: Yes, but you see that there are such incidents, yes, when we do not give importance to the proximity of the king.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (15:26) There's this feeling here that he makes an analogy between his feeling as a student and what's happening between the person and the king, that there's a certain feeling that he distances from the student, he doesn't pay attention to him, that's what I felt in this article, that he relates to the student to the connection and the importance of the connection between them, is that the state?

M. Laitman: Well, this is something we can already add from our imagination.

Student: Because I heard that he speaks about the student that he distanced from him, and if he had proximity so then he would be able to say how much he loves him but the student doesn't pay attention to that.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So how can we remember that it is connected, this attitude, this relationship?

M. Laitman: It's to depict to himself each time the greatness of the king in such a way that it will bind you to him and that it's not that you can actually leave the garden without feeling it.

Student: In this analogy, it's like not exiting the Ten at all, that we connected to the garden through the Ten or in your own internality alone, how does it?

M. Laitman: Yes, imagine that.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (17:16) He wrote that there is no such opening, but what happens on the first floor where you wanted to, when the king was walking in front of him, what does it mean that he walks in front of the king?

M. Laitman: That he revealed his intention, his desire for the nearing, to be near the king.

Student: With the greatness of the Creator, could you say?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (18:01) He speaks here about exertion and work, where he enters into a deposit for a better time. What does that mean in our work? How do we each time in our work, do we deposit for a better time?

M. Laitman: A person usually thinks all the time that it will happen soon, in the future, and then he'll be ready for it.

Student: Today also we spoke about it in the preparation to the lesson, how we never stop passing this flame between us, and that is our role all the time to raise the importance of the connection and love, and is this path, this way of always coming to remind ourselves, remind each other where we are, and where we want to be at the end of it, or each day anew. Is that the path that he's speaking about? That we don't really know what's going to be tomorrow, but we want to increase that longing?

M. Laitman: No, he doesn't speak about tomorrow, he's speaking about today, about right now.

Student: I understood, and how can we, this now, that we build, how do we continue that onward? That same moment now that we are in the lesson, how do we continue that?

M. Laitman: We live in it. We exist in it and we elevate it, that place itself.

Question (Tel Aviv 1): (19:55) He says here, after he entered and saw the king, so he had a lot of great joy. And then he started, he began to follow the king, praising and glorifying as much as he can, the king in front of him and he behind the king. So they walk and stroll up to the gate. The man walks out the gate and returns to his initial place. What is that gate?

M. Laitman: It's the opening for the garden, for the king's garden.

Student: They're already in the garden. So he says he goes to the gate and then the man walks out the gate and returns to his initial place while the king remains in the garden and locks the gate.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So they were in the garden. So what's that gate?

M. Laitman: I don't understand you. He was outside the garden. Then he entered the garden. He followed the king. The king was before him. And later on, he loses sight of the king and he comes out of the garden.

Student: Why does that happen? Why does he go out of the gate if he was there? Why does he leave that gate?

M. Laitman: Apparently, he doesn't respect the king enough in that place of the garden and therefore, he doesn't remain there.

Student: He says that in his time, naturally, he's overjoyed. He emphasizes naturally. And he begins to follow the king, praising and glorifying him. And then he comes to the gate and he leaves. But he's in a state of praising. He's glorifying the king. He's following him. And then he leaves the gate. He's still in that state of praising and glorifying him. So, where does it escape that he falls again?

M. Laitman: It seems to me that it's out of habit.

Student: Habit for what?

M. Laitman: In that he praises the king.

Student: That it becomes a habit and not seemingly a routine and it doesn't..?

M. Laitman: It doesn't add in it.

Student: In that you don't add to it, so you fall.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: You don't remain in the same place.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Women Turkiye 7): (22:54) What exactly is the fear that we should have toward our teachers?

M. Laitman: Towards our teachers?

Student: Yes.

M. Laitman: This is something that you need to see from all the materials that we study. How to relate to the people, to a friend, to the teacher, and to the Creator.

Student: She asks also, How can we always reveal the love of the teacher? How can a student reveal the love of the teacher?

M. Laitman: It is great work. Great work.

Student: She continues. How can a student protect himself not to receive the love of his teacher egoistically in such a revelation?

M. Laitman: That, too, is very great work. Not to descend to corporeal love, if we can say that, but rather all the time to elevate his Rav in his eyes more and more.

Student: She continues, can love come to a lack of faith?

M. Laitman: Yes, usually love breaks all the distances and boundaries and it can also spoil.

Question (UK 1): (24:55) How can we hear the voice of the king? How can we enter the garden the first time and the second time?

M. Laitman: To enter the garden, it's through a desire that truly emerges from the heart and opens up the gate to the garden. And this way, each time, if there are a few times.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (26:01) He writes that you needed to hide, you should have nonetheless concealed your face from looking at me. Meaning, there's something special when he felt the love for his teacher, so then he, as if, entered. And when he felt that coldness or those thoughts, so then he was already outside the garden. And then he said that you should have nonetheless concealed your face from looking at me. What does he mean by that? Does it mean that when he was in the garden and he felt the love of the king, he needed to make some restriction on that feeling?

M. Laitman: Yes, you must not go wild.

Student: Forbidden to go wild, meaning that not to let the will to receive enjoy from that state?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: To continue the faith, which, what does that mean?

M. Laitman: That he nevertheless is going according to the greatness of the Creator, and not according to what he feels inside his senses.

Student: Yes, and he continues and says that, and they believed in the Lord and in his servant Moses, meaning that under all conditions you need to increase the faith.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (27:40) He writes that there are two reasons that a person exits the garden. The first reason is that he stops increasing the greatness of the king, meaning he stops walking in front of him, meaning that he's not the one that's making the action first. And the second reason is that he's in a revelation of some kind of seer. So, why does he exit? Because of the revelation?

M. Laitman: When he stops making a connection between him and the Creator. He stops the connection between him and the Creator. And therefore he loses the Creator.

Student: Meaning, it's not because he walked in there first.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: But that in which the Creator is revealed, does that not influence? Shouldn't he make some concealment on that revelation, or isn't that he walked in there first? Is that actually the concealment?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (29:15) The faith is between that in which he walks in front of the king and the Creator goes in front of him?

M. Laitman: Again.

Student: The faith. Is that in that dialogue between that he went in front of the king and then that the...the Creator went in front of him?

M. Laitman: Well, let's say so, yes.

Student: Can you also say that if the person goes in front of the king, so he chooses bestowal, and if the Creator goes before him, so then he chooses a reception?

M. Laitman: No, no.

Student: What does it mean that a person walks in front of the king?

M. Laitman: It's that he already is not adhered to him under all conditions.

Student: But that's how he enters the garden.

M. Laitman: He entered it, yes. But if he turns and strolls and nevertheless is in front of the king, then he does not advance.

Student: On condition that he is in the garden of the king, so then it becomes much stricter, precisely for the reason that he is in the garden?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (30:43) There's an excerpt here where he asks, he says to the student, until you are awarded, and you would be rewarded with serving the corporeal body with the tongues and ears to such an extent that it would be the merit of the spiritual, meaning that you need to sanctify it just like the spiritual, and for that reason there's the equivalence of form, and then the Creator enters our body.

M. Laitman: In our body there's no revelation of the Creator, ever.

Student: So what does it mean about the corporeal body that you need to reach that level?

M. Laitman: The corporeal body is not our body.

Student: It's a desire.

M. Laitman: Yes, it's a different concept.

Student: Meaning we need in our corporeal desire to reach equivalence with something spiritual?

M. Laitman: Apparently something like that. This is something that you have to exert and think and pray to understand it.

Student: How does that desire become expressed? Is that a change of intention upon the desire?

M. Laitman: I cannot answer you. This is something that you have to reach through your efforts.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (32:16) He exits the garden. Does that mean that he fell into the will to receive? The will to receive controlled him, enjoyment from this situation controlled him, and then he finds himself outside of the garden?

M. Laitman: Let's say so.

Student: Now, okay, on the other hand, his desire is to bring contentment to the Creator. The Creator's intention is to bring contentment to the created beings. He wants the person to enjoy. So how does that work? It doesn't mean that he needs to cancel the enjoyment that is forbidden to enjoy, and he cannot feel. He needs to feel. That's the purpose of creation. So how in any case can he feel and enjoy, but not detach from the Creator?

M. Laitman: Well, that's difficult.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (33:27) He writes that he walks and praises the king with all of his might, aiming to prepare himself to meet the king, and he does not notice whatsoever that the king is next to him, meaning it turns out that however the person depicts the king and how the king really is are two different things.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Meaning here is a root problem that he is depicting the reception of the face of the king is completely different to how it truly is, and so he doesn't pay attention to where the king is, that he's right next to him.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So it turns out that from the start he made a mistake.

M. Laitman: Well, vessels expand, and he loses the king. Yes.

Student: Because in any case the person very much wants, he yearns for the king.

M. Laitman: He wants very much, okay, like a baby wants.

Student: So is there a state where the person prepares himself such that this picture will be truer, more connected to faith, rather than to feeling?

M. Laitman: Yes. One needs to work on that more and more.

Student: Or maybe this mistake, you cannot prevent it.

M. Laitman: Usually it's unavoidable, but a person, through connection in his Ten, can create the readiness for a vessel that is more proper, more correct.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (35:35) Walking in the garden is not the purpose. It's like Baal HaSulam says, that you just came out of the house, you came to the hill, and you fell. So it seems that that walk in the garden is to go to demand corrections, and then the Creator simply threw him out of the garden. The Creator did that. He showed him what corrections he needs to do there, in the garden.

M. Laitman: Well, well, go on.

Student: So the question is, what correction should we demand? Is this pride that he's doing something by himself, or is he not annulling toward the king?

M. Laitman: To follow the king.

Student: It's clear to always follow the king, all the time.

M. Laitman: No, no. Later on, suddenly he walks in front of him.

Student: So that's his mistake. With his pride, he suddenly is going, he's praising, he's happy, and then he's behind the king.

M. Laitman: So what?

Student: So Baal HaSulam shows him that, that he needs to conceal his face, and believe in faith in the sages, and wise students, and to continue onward.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So is that just like some station on the way?

M. Laitman: Possibly. But he doesn't even reach this milestone, this intermediate station.

Student: So what is the needed correction here?

M. Laitman: He loses the importance of the king. This is clear. And instead of that, he depicts to himself a different order of the world, where he is in the lead, on top. And this causes all the other mistakes.

Student: Strengthening in faith in greatness of the Creator in advance as much as possible?

M. Laitman: Yes, they can do it already.

Student: Right, in that state.

M. Laitman: Right.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (38:00) When the king becomes revealed, how does the person perform the concealment so that the king won't disappear?

M. Laitman: He discovered the king.

Student: And now he needs to conceal the king by himself. How does he conceal the king?

M. Laitman: By positioning himself as though the king is hidden. He doesn't want to take into account everything that is revealed before him.

Student: And how does he do that? He sees that, and he simply needs to not see that. So how does that action, how do you do that action?

M. Laitman: Concealment. Screen.

Student: With his screen?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Haifa 1): (39:12) If a student would be sorry and ashamed of the lack of faith, then the Creator will have mercy on you. So what happens when you have these doubts and you're sorry about that? Does that point to the lack of connection between the person and the Creator?

M. Laitman: Well, possibly, but not necessarily.

Student: It's not enough?

M. Laitman: No.

Student: What else in addition do we need to add in order to continue being adhered with the Creator?

M. Laitman: You should try and discover.

Question (New York 2): (40:10) He writes, and then you'll see. This is why all my prayers for you did not help you because you still did not understand how to excuse it. What does it mean that we pray for someone who doesn't work? What does it mean to make a prayer work for others?

M. Laitman: Try to do it between you and you will see. This letter is full of such states that we have to go through and use them.

Student: So what do we do if the prayer for the friend doesn't help him?

M. Laitman: So we pray more. We pray differently for a different lack to connect more between us.

Question (Women Moscow 6): (41:10) How can we constantly renew the connection with the Creator?

M. Laitman: To create a constant connection with the Creator, we can simply, well, it's a matter of preparation of a habit. When we are always in that, thinking about the Creator, longing for him.

Question (German): (42:33) How do I reach from a pure intention to the right intention, the correct intention? And which correct intention should we yearn for so that we will be able to reach this refinement?

M. Laitman: We always through all the states direct ourselves, aiming at the Creator alone. Through all kinds of signs that we have in the society, in the group, in the Ten, in everything we learn, that we increasingly direct ourselves at the Creator, which is our work.

Student: We read yesterday in the book of intentions, a book written about intentions, a compilation of intentions. And in number five, you gave us some guidance for how we can be adhered to the Creator 24 hours a day, above the barrier. Here it speaks about holding on to a common intention. It doesn't matter if you're on the animate intention, animate level, but hold on to that intention. So, now there's a question by a friend, are the intention and the desire not one and the same?

M. Laitman: There's intention and there's desire. They are two pieces of data, two things that are different. We could have an intention above, in the heavens, whereas the desire is in the earth, in the land.

Student: So it's not the same thing, desire and intention?

M. Laitman: No.

Question (Women Heb 1): (45:30) He says that in spirituality, thought and feeling are very close to the realization, or the moment it enters you, it is executed. So how can a person build a vessel in advance that won't fail him in the moment of truth?

M. Laitman: Only in the group, to adhere to his group, and see himself as connecting everyone, and then he will have from here a correct state to adhere to the Creator.

Question (Beer Sheva): (46:20) I'll read the last paragraph. Many questions come up. With your permission. Last paragraph. But in the right time, I will come back to you as before. But you repeated your first actions, more or less. Sometimes you wanted to hear from me words about this thing explicitly, like a man speaks to his friend, and not less at all. But I'm weak in that thing, as it is written. And I'm slow of mouth and slow of tongue. And you too should not hope for it in the future, unless you will be rewarded with sanctifying your corporeal body, which has ears and tongue, so it will equal the spiritual merit completely. My main question here is, you mentioned slow of mouth and slow of tongue. He demands of us that even though he gave us only a momentary attainment, when we enter that garden, to keep holding on to his code, to faith, and to follow him, and keep strengthening the faith, and nothing corporeal, unless before we are rewarded with spiritual vessels. Is this what it means?

M. Laitman: It could be.

Student: Another question, with your permission. The faith, we must always strengthen it. Is there a possibility that the level of faith of the person diminishes the more he attains? The Creator gives him even signs of a momentary attainment?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: This means that this is a force that we have to keep developing?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (MAK 25): (48:25) Do I understand correctly that we cannot connect with the Creator directly, but only through the garden?

M. Laitman: Through the garden, no. We need to be connected to the Creator through our group, each one in his group. Otherwise, we cannot reveal the King, otherwise he cannot be connected with us.

Student: Can I connect with the teacher also, only through the group?

M. Laitman: Also with the teacher, yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (49:17) Baal HaSulam describes in the allegory a state where a person enters his above reason, not out of his choice or his desire. He simply got into this state, and he received a gift.

M. Laitman: Well.

Student: Bit by bit he awakens, his will to receive awakens, and he starts to enjoy that situation. And out of that he's being pushed out, out of the garden, until he comes out of the gate completely. Now he writes that this gate will not be found again forever, ever. Meaning, such a state of revelation will never come back, but only in a different form, meaning that now it's going to be a completely new kind of work.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Meaning that from here on he has to labor in order to build this gate by annulling himself. Meaning, now he has to perform all these actions by himself with the help of prayers, and the Creator, and the Ten, and everything possible?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Turkiye 2): (50:43) What is the lack that is necessary and correct for a person, so that he can eat at the King's table with the Creator?

M. Laitman: To constantly yearn for adhesion with the Creator, and to be ready to want to change himself accordingly. That readiness provides him a place to be at the King's table.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (51:37) A part of the solution or a part of what's necessary is fear. And what this article causes is the fear that I won't have fear, because otherwise you start taking things for granted. Like you said, it becomes a habit and you lose the importance. So, how indeed to start making fear part of your daily life? Because without it, indeed, there will be a descent, one point or another.

M. Laitman: Through remedies.

Student: What does that mean?

M. Laitman: I don't know.

Student: It's different for each one.

M. Laitman: Pray, so that the Creator will explain to you.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (52:44) You answered many questions that we have to turn towards the Creator, yearn for the Creator, direct yourself straight to the Creator. Is it always in such a way that the intention is always to give Him contentment?

M. Laitman: Otherwise, what for?

Student: Well, I understand that this is how it needs to be. I'm asking if there are other ways to calibrate oneself towards the Creator, or it always needs to be in order to give Him contentment?

M. Laitman: In order to connect to Him, to carry out actions where doing so brings the Creator contentment.

Student: Okay. Another question. Also, when He performs this action of trying to build a screen, trying to conceal Himself is it the same intention there also? It has to be in order to give Him contentment?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, any entrance to a connection should be arranged for the person in His head, that the goal is always to create this form of giving contentment?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (54:01) First of all, when a person enters the garden, when he's called to the garden and he leaps over the fence easily as it says, this means that the person enters the intention to create a connection in the Ten and give contentment to the Creator, or is it something else?

M. Laitman: I don't know. Check.

Student: A second. He writes that after the person comes out of the garden, he searches for a way back, as he was before, where the Creator is walking ahead of him, but there's no entrance anymore. You can't enter it. Only in a way that the Creator calls him and the Creator is hidden. So is this the ideal state?

M. Laitman: I don't know.

Student: Okay, last thing. This state, is it circular or should the person aspire to always simply remain in the garden?

M. Laitman: Check.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (55:02) He writes here that it requires great craftsmanship, and I'm asking how practically do we relate to it when we realize there is chillness? We always do exercises to try to awaken ourselves, but if we feel that something has become a habit or routine we need to think about how to change it, or to say, no, actually here it's the place to work?

M. Laitman: Here is the place of work where we need to add.

Student: We say that, we see that over time, any exercise we did, at some point it reaches a place where it becomes exhausted, and now we search for a new tactic.

M. Laitman: Yes. That there are no more tactics. So that's when we demand the revelation of the Creator.

Student: If we can give an example we have a preparation for the lesson. A few months ago, Rav gave us some exercise by sitting silently, thinking about the connection between us, and feeling the Creator there. Since then, we do it every lesson. Now, I detect on myself that I have no control over it. There are days when I can come and it gives me some feeling and excitement, impression. Some days I don't feel anything in it. And we keep searching all the time for this place of this renewal, of an awakening, or to do work on our part.

M. Laitman: Try to connect until someone who has a connection with the revelation of the Creator, will be as a conduit of the whole group to the Creator. And that's how it will be for each and every one.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (57:25) What is a warm heart?

M. Laitman: A warm heart? That it has several discernments. He now searches in his heart. A person searches in his heart and wants to scrutinize the new discernments, seemingly.

Student: He says, ‘if you were truly ashamed of the coolness of your heart you would be rewarded with uniting with me properly.’ Seemingly, beyond all the discernments, the warm heart should be more important than anything else. A warm heart. How does a person add to this warm heart? How does he develop a warm heart?

M. Laitman: Through what can you warm your heart?

Student: Usually, by seeing that I don't have it. See constantly that I don't have enough of a warm heart.

M. Laitman: Okay, so warm it in the meantime with that.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (58:50) In the article, and also through the personal experience of each one of us there are awakenings. And a person loses it. He loses it, he comes out, he cools down. Now, we know, and we also heard that there is an example, I think it was the Ari, when there was an opportunity to go up to Jerusalem, and they didn't realize the opportunity, and the opportunity never comes back. My question is, on the one hand, the person is given a feeling that he has endless opportunities. He doesn't always walk around with the fear that the opportunity that he now received is once-in-a-lifetime, it may never come back. Why is it so? Why don't we have a feeling that the opportunity is just once-in-a-lifetime, but rather there's no problem?

M. Laitman: There you are already asking me about work with details that reveal themselves on the way. The person is built such that repeated things lose their importance.

Student: For a person to reach a feeling that the opportunity will never come back?

M. Laitman: It's desirable.

Student: How do you reach such a feeling? I'll tell you why. A person doesn't connect to a Zoom meeting with the friends, and two or three days go by, and then he connects, the friends are there. A person doesn't come to the morning lesson. A week goes by, and then he comes, and everything is always as though there's no problem. Whenever you want, just reach out your hand, and you can take.

M. Laitman: How is it with us? What do you think it'll be in another 10 years, 20 years?

Student: So 20 years went by, and the system still works. Whenever a person wants, he comes, he goes, he comes back, he leaves, he goes. So, how in this situation can a person reach the point where this moment, right now, when he has an opportunity to connect with the friends, will never come back?

M. Laitman: It truly will never come back. According to nature, we can look ahead as if we're eternal. In another 20 years I'm going to be 100 years old. So, what? You can say that you can't even feel that you lack time. Right?

Student: How, on the one hand, an opportunity will never come back. On the other hand, in the thought of creation, every created being will implement the plan. So, how do you reconcile these two things?

M. Laitman: We demand from every moment that it will be a moment of adhesion with the Creator.

Student: Why did you say that an opportunity will never come back? If today I didn't connect to the Zoom meeting, in two or three days, I will connect.

M. Laitman: But those conditions you had previously don't return.

Student: This means that I missed out on something. It's not the same?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What did I miss out on?

M. Laitman: What do I know? You cannot return to the same things. You seemingly correct your state that you created back then.

Student: This means that the fact that I am now here in a morning lesson, but yesterday I wasn't here, it means that I lost something. I lacked something.

M. Laitman: Without a doubt.

Reader: (01:03:37) A question that is asked by many groups. It says, but on the other hand, let's now count the gains that you've acquired in all the days that you were with me. And the friends are asking, what gains does a student acquire by sitting with the Rav?

M. Laitman: The student needs to know that he should be counting them. He needs to think about what he has in corporeality, what he has in spirituality, in all kinds of discernments.

Student: The student builds his connection with the Rav? Is it a student who builds his connection with the Rav?

M. Laitman: You can put it that way.

Student: Meaning the way he relates to Rav, these are the vessels that he builds through this connection?

M. Laitman: Yes, he determines.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:04:43) Rav said before to the friend from Turkey that love breaks the distances and boundaries and borders.

M. Laitman: I said it that nicely?

Student: So beautifully, yes. I wanted to know what degree of faith a person should have so that indeed love will break the distance and the boundaries?

M. Laitman: We see in this world, too, that there are such situations. Love is a desire to come closer to the others. And the extent and through what that is according to the situation.

Student: How is it in the Ten? How does it break the distance and the boundaries between the friends? What is that state?

M. Laitman: They want to be in one heart. Then when they want to be in one heart, then they seemingly build this proximity between them. So much so that they feel themselves really in one heart. I say we don't feel that. Because our minds interfere with us. But our hearts are ready to be in one heart. Mind, intellect is our problem. Foreign thoughts. Gradually, we will try to get rid of them, to eliminate them. I very much hope that we will succeed in that and then we will truly reach a feeling of adhesion. That is all.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:07:06) The following question. Why did the person enter the garden? What for?

M. Laitman: He wants to be connected and close to the Creator.

Student: So why does it matter if he's in the garden? What's important for him is the Creator.

M. Laitman: Yes, but the Creator is in the garden behind the bars.

Student: But once he enters the garden he has no choice. He's going to lose his connection with the King because the revelation he gets there disconnects him so that his goal changes. It's not the Creator who is important, but the garden becomes important.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So the solution is simply not to pay attention to where you are. But rather, the Creator should always be before you.

M. Laitman: No, we need to come to the Creator because the Creator is calling him. And then he cannot refuse that on one hand. On the other hand he lacks protection. And here is the question, what does the person need to do in order to leap into the garden? And in any case, to execute adhesion there in a complete way?

Student: So how do you get? What is the screen or what is it?

M. Laitman: The protection is the screen, so that he will feel himself as being a part of everything. He is the head of the society that he is outside of the garden, and he needs to carry out a connection between the Creator through him to the rest of the created beings.

Student: This means that he should completely neutralize himself because he only comes to serve, to link. He himself must not receive anything.

M. Laitman: Yes, certainly. And here he loses his connection with others. And he only has a connection with the Creator, but the Creator plays with him such that he feels that he loses the Creator.

Student: What does the Creator teach a person here that if next time he's not going to come back? So what is the correction here?

M. Laitman: That the person would want to correct his state, that he at no moment would he cease his connection with the Creator despite his closeness to Him. That is very hard. That is something that is impossible to depict to oneself.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:10:12) I don't know these torments of love. It's truly felt in this whole process and this point of coming close to that degree of love. It's minuscule compared to the torments of love before and after. There's a feeling that we constantly search for this adaptation, for this synchronization between the pace of the Creator being and the pace of the Creator, how to create this point of congruence. And this congruence, it's momentary. It's just momentary and again it changes because the vessels become different. So what should be this adapter, this metronome that indicates the right, keeps the right pace, the right frequency between the two of them? How not to miss out on it all the time?

M. Laitman: It is one goal, adhesion of everyone in that point of connection with the Creator. For the time being it is still not yet revealed, but we're close to it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:11:54) I also want to ask, like the friends, how is it possible to maintain the joy and excitement and feel the Creator's love, the love of the Upper One towards you all the time, because man's ego grows. And he describes very explicitly here how the descent starts and the distancing and the concern and the doubts, and a person starts to doubt himself until it becomes a complete disconnection.

And it will always be this way, the ego will always grow and the person will always have such feelings. After a congress we see there's a fall, a person is excited, then we see he disappears, doesn't come anymore. We can see this process of deterioration. So what should be the mechanism that keeps a person always in joy, excitement and inspiration and connected always, constantly? How do we prepare this state in advance so that tomorrow the ego will grow and I'll have a desire to run away from it, from here?

M. Laitman: Whatever will be tomorrow will be tomorrow.

Student: Yes, but I'm saying what should we have in a society so that..?

M. Laitman: Connection between everyone. Connection. And then you won't have these big folds, but a little bit. Mind-feeling, feeling-mind.

Student: Let's say in a relationship, couples, in a family, we sign a contract, we have a common bank account, we have children, we have such assets that keep us during the falls, that help us to overcome. We have a small argument, but we overcome it. What for us can be this contract or the common assets that can allow the person to overcome such falls, such disconnections?

M. Laitman: Connection, friends, friends. The connection in the group, the society, the Ten, needs to fill all of your longings.

Student: But most of the time such disconnections appear in such a way that our friends don't look good in our eyes.

M. Laitman: So what? That's an outcome of the detachment, of the distance. That's pretty much impossible. A fall is a fall. You can, in a fall, there are emotion and intellect in two different places, and then according to the emotion, you understand that you have no connection to them, and according to the intellect, you can say that, yes, we are one group, look at what I now have now, what cessation do I have now between me and a friend. That's how it is. We need to work on that, and then the Creator will protect.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:15:22) Prayer for a friend, then the fall. Does it connect him back?

M. Laitman: Yes, it helps from part of the Ten or from the Ten, if there is such a thing, to pray for someone of the society from the friend and from the Ten. It really helps both him and them.

Student: And how does that prayer, how should it take place? Should it come out of one person who feels the friend, or should he be told that he's praying on, or is everybody doing a specific action towards him?

M. Laitman: It's according to how you can, but it's enough that one understands that damage is being done here, disconnection, and it must be corrected, and it awakens everyone.

Student: Is there always a place for prayer, even if a friend shows that he's not interested?

M. Laitman: You need to nevertheless try and do this for some time, and if it doesn't work, then let go. That's it. Leave it. There is nothing you can do. Such people come that don't even think about spiritual upliftment, and they stay and think that you can do this whole path by free flowing, and that's, it doesn't go for them, of course.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:17:33) We've been reading the letters for a while, and I feel that Baal HaSulam always tries to prove the students wrong with their attitude towards him. Like here, he wrote, I'm surprised that you're not missing me even though I'm coming back. And in other letters, in our group, it's a different state where thousands of students, we don't have direct contact with you, that you show to a certain student that he was doing wrong, it's different than Baal HaSulam. Do you think that we're losing something because we don't have that? Maybe there's an advantage?

M. Laitman: No, no, no. There's this and that. The Creator manages us, and we don't have too many ways or reasons to compare ourselves with the group of Baal HaSulam. And all together, he had six close students that were supposed to travel to Jerusalem once from someplace, from south Tel Aviv somewhere, or something like that. And then he said, I want for these and those to travel, and there's a car for six people only. And his wife said no, I want it to be like this, and she said it otherwise. So he said, let's do a, we'll put the names in a hat and do a lot and see who comes up. He felt like doing such a thing. And it came out, and only those six appeared there, and they traveled. So it wasn't many people altogether.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:20:27) First of all, the impression of Baal HaSulam's attitude towards his students, he keeps putting a hierarchy. He's the best, he's a bit less, he already passed him. It's also surprising that he awakens this competition between them. So the question is, this allegory is actually his relation with the student, not the Creator. So is it the same thing, the connection between the Rav and the student, and the whole meeting in the garden, and between the student and the Creator, is it the same?

M. Laitman: With them, it could be that, yes. With us, I don't think so yet.

Student: So that was my next question. How do we come closer to such a connection with the Rav, that he writes, that it's supposedly above corporeality. He's speaking about their encounter, that he came to him, and he's saying it's not corporeal. They met, he went, and there was a hill, and there's like an inner interaction. How do you come close to that with the Rav?

M. Laitman: Hitch-hike, I don't have anything else to say. I don't take with me anyone. Whoever wants, comes closer, and not physically, but rather with their soul. But also, I'm not Baal HaSulam. Anyway, it's...

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:22:28) I also want to continue. I'm also getting really inspired by the letters this time around, when we're reading them. This intimacy in the connection between Baal HaSulam and the students. And that's how it was with Rabash, according to what I know from your stories. And for us, it's like, we all know that it's very different. What exactly... It seems that Kabbalah has developed during thousands of years, and came to our period of time. And for us, this connection between you and us, and the rest of the created beings that have to come into the process there's like an essential change in the method. So what is it?

M. Laitman: There it was in a much more intimate way. Everyone was religious, Orthodox. Everyone... There were many relatives amongst them. They were very close, familial relations, in a way. And they all spoke Yiddish. Except for one or two that also studied it fast, learned it fast. And what else? I don't know. I was amongst them. I felt that there's something from the past that brings them closer, that they understand one another more. Kind of like they're close to one another, each to the other. But the main thing is, after all, the willingness for adhesion with the Creator, and that is what united between them. Although there are many calculations, also kind of egoistic ones, but there was also something that sustained them more together. That's it.

Student: So the goal of adhering to the Creator, that hasn't changed.

M. Laitman: No, then there would be no room in this society whatsoever, if not.

Student: So today, that's our goal, that's why we come here every day. But what did change? The place of the teacher seems very different, between how it was and how it is now.

M. Laitman: Well, let's say that the place of the teacher is certainly there at Baal HaSulam, or Rabash, and here it's me, it's day and night. What are you saying?

Student: No, on the contrary, I feel that the more the teacher goes down in the process so his influence could be even greater. Things that you have done, you can't even comprehend the way you opened the wisdom up. We don't even get it yet. I'm asking about the work between the student and the teacher. It seems that it's very different between what happened with Baal HaSulam and Rabash, and what we need to do. So I'm asking, on one hand the conditions, and these parameters, that the student must constantly hold on to, that changes. On the other hand, it doesn't change, because there's a law, and it doesn't pass. And we know that through connection we have to reach the love of the Creator, and so on, and so on. So what did change? That's the question, between the original authentic study that has been going on through all these years, to our studies from today and onward. Did something change, essentially, or nothing has changed? There's just an external form that seems to us that it changed.

M. Laitman: According to what Baal HaSulam explains to us, we too, can see and understand the world has become a little different. Because the television, mostly. We are connected to the whole world. We feel a connection to the stars, to those endless distances. We have connections with countries, states, people, and all of that. It confuses us also. Besides helping us, it also confuses us. And that's why we're different. We are different.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:28:38) Maybe we don't feel or understand your greatness and what you're doing on the path. Before you gave us that example of the story with the notes and the hat, in order to go together, and you said, I'm not taking anyone, whoever wants can join. So I'm asking, how do we cause this tension every day, the healthy tension that we'll really feel that every day we want to put a note in that hat and go with you in the right direction?

M. Laitman: Oh, with me?

Student: Yes, with you.

M. Laitman: With Baal HaSulam there.

Student: Only with you. How do we not lose this tension? Earlier, in regular work there's a feeling that there are a lot of friends and you reach a habit and everything will be okay, we connect okay, if not I'll come once a week, the friends will keep being here, there's no tension sometimes.

M. Laitman: That can't be we can't be in that constant strain we have to it has to dissipate. That's why it's impossible.

Student: Why because we're a bigger community and there's no intimacy like there was with Rabash?

M. Laitman: Also, yes, and each thinks more that he is something, really something in place of just a group.

Student: It’s still work in the Ten, if I look at the Ten, a small group, so I can see them as a group like they were with Rabash. That you're our Rav, in front of our Ten and I say let's take that little cell for now from the big group. How do we really in that Ten have that tension because I think that in the Ten we can somehow cause this daily tension between us. Obviously in the bigger group it's more difficult but how in the Ten can we make sure that the friends feel that there's an opportunity every day and we could be missing out, that they'll feel they're missing something?

M. Laitman: That's a problem. We cannot be under that stress and that strain all the time to constantly think about the goal and the means, that they’re not felt in our hands, in our actual vessels. How to do it? Also, if you talk about it every day you'll see that after a couple days you start falling asleep.

Student: Exactly.

M. Laitman: Well that's how nature is. What can you do?

Student: That's what I'm asking. What can you do? How can you really help the times advance?

M. Laitman: One will help his friend, that's what happens and we must each be concerned with the well-being of the general society and it doesn't matter if there's some who succeed more or someone less successful, that's not what sustains the society.

Student: So to keep asking for one another for this force?

M. Laitman: Yes, that's correct.

Question (Kyiv 1): (01:33:22) You were talking about that tight connection in the Rabash group between the students should we also build this special connection in the Tens, because you see that also with due time these special relationships take place in the Ten or is there a different work we should do today towards the whole group?

M. Laitman: As I look at you I don't quite divide you in Tens. I also find my place within Ten PT 36, but it's not necessarily a must that I should be there. I simply have several people that I must have. There are friends, those who are responsible for the connection, yes, there's my doctor, there's, well, you see, I forget even that. Shimon, I said, yes, there's, what's your name? Elan, yes. And, well, Marik is a general responsible person, in general. Meaning, I found a place where there are those who kind of stand out, relatively. And that's it. But, that's how it is by chance of it. That's it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:36:17) During the history of Kabbalah studies, there was always a Rav for the students. And he was always on such a degree, that he was higher than them, so he could come down towards them and help them advance. So, there's always a student, a teacher, and the Creator. In the future, how will it be without the shepherd?

M. Laitman: Without a shepherd, I don't think it will be. You have, in this big group, a small group. It's not a group, but that can be concerned with the connection, and the processes of different kinds, and to keep the order, and everything. And you will be connected to the Creator. To the Creator. And that will give you responsibility, and yes, positive and negative responsibility, to keep the connection and the line of development.

Student: Will it change in such a way that the perception will not be through a Rav, or it will be through a group that will manage us?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Also in the studies?

M. Laitman: In the study, also now you receive the materials by the friends, and according to what I told them, they define the study. The topic of the study, the order of the study, it all comes from them. Let it be done. It doesn't seem like it needs correction.

Student: Not a correction, but it's something new. Because we're about to become pioneers in some new form of study in the future.

M. Laitman: Well.

Student: Will it even be studies, or just discussions, or?

M. Laitman: No, no, it will be study.

Student: Who's going to answer us?

M. Laitman: You, according to the study, according to the conversation between you, according to what you attain, you will have more of a need to attain the truth.

Student: So it will be more of a brainstorming, a combination of..?

M. Laitman: It has to be like that also now.

Student: Yes, but now we have you, that you're leading us. Yes, you're our guide. We won't have a guide in the future.

M. Laitman: Baal HaSulam and Rabash did everything. Everything. All the rest depends on the society, the small or the large society, that is capable of connecting also according to their doctrine, their Torah, and then they will be able and have the ability to find the right questions and answers.

Question (Women PT 6): (01:40:17) Do you feel us, the world Kli, entirely connected as one man with one heart, even a bit?

M. Laitman: Yes. Women are a little different because they don't really have a society. Although we need and I hope, and that they connect also for the sake of the goal, although for them it's much more difficult.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:41:05) In our days thousands of women are studying Kabbalah. In the past it was never like that. What is that adding?

M. Laitman: It adds an immense force that was not in the previous steps. And the other, the female part that connects only shows that we're coming close to the end of correction, that women are starting to develop and connect around the men, and the system is becoming more stable. That is what I really hope will be revealed.

Student: They're also asking, What is holding our society?

M. Laitman: The goal. There's no more than that. We are aimed towards the goal, and one who is aimed to the goal and for the goal, lives and sustains the friends in an embrace. And in us not erring in every step along the way. So one reaches there, reaches the end.

Question (PT 22): (01:42:44) What actions should we do in order to not fall?

M. Laitman: I think the common meals help, unless the public, you know, votes for their feet. And we need to share more and more in the meals, more friends that will go up on the stage and share something, and tell one another about different cases, and what's happening there, and so on. Meaning that during the meal, we will also integrate and incorporate in all kinds of activities that are even corporeal. And this is how it will be clarified to us that we need to correct something in these meals. But around the meals, I think, because otherwise it's hard to attract, to draw everyone.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:44:05) Sometimes in the meals, we are without you. You're not sitting with us. So is that a special opportunity to do a different action?

M. Laitman: Yes, you need to know how to do all these meals so that they will be in the same style like with me. So what? It's not a problem. I think that.. Well, I don't see that I can tell someone to be in my place. Well, please tell me who.

Student: The opposite. We don't want instead of you, but this is an action that we might have an opportunity to do something that, like an opportunity from above that we get to do.

M. Laitman: Yes, but nevertheless, someone needs to kind of do all the, this whole game, yes? To bless and to, anyway, you need someone, yes? What else? Well, we'll think. You can say later.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:45:35) When you put Bnei Baruch together, the friends that were there in the beginning, and they're still leading society, they're very strong and very, they're difficult. They're like metal.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And that's thanks to the way you set an example. At least that's what I understand. How can society give that to one another? And how does a student become strong like iron?

M. Laitman: Simply, throughout the years, they become this way. The friends, who else? Then more friends came. I don't know. I don't remember. But it's been years already. It's years.

Student: What can we build in our society so all the friends will get this line?

M. Laitman: It has to be like an internal group. You can't do that with big groups, but in internal conditions, it's possible. I think that all those veteran ones that know how to feel the center of connection need to also be concerned with this. That's it.

Student: Can they pass it on to all of society?

M. Laitman: They can't pass this on to you, but in doing it, you can learn from them also what their direction is.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:48:19) How should we look at those veteran friends, that foundation that is here?

M. Laitman: Well, as an example, look at the friends, the others, how they don't miss a thing. They come to the lessons, participate in everything, and are doing their work relatively quietly.

Student: There's another measure of annulment we should have towards that veteran foundation?

M. Laitman: To learn from them. To learn. That happens with time.

Question (PT 23): (01:50:17) I heard that you said that we don't really have a society, the women, that even though we do need it. What did you mean?

M. Laitman: It's not that there isn't the women’s group. There are groups, and I hear about them more than that which I hear from the men. But there needs to be more work in connection and unification and them being more connected and more understanding of the goal. But it's there.

Student: You said it's more difficult for us to connect. So what are we lacking in order to connect?

M. Laitman: Of course it's more difficult for women to connect. But you're succeeding. After all, you are succeeding. And what you're not succeeding, is in awakening the men. That's what you're not successful at. And in what way that is, I don't know. But to awaken them. We hear from the Torah also that Miriam and other women took the instruments, the musical instruments, and started to dance.

Question (Women USA West 1): (01:52:09) Earlier in the lesson, the men brought up several questions about the gate. And it awakened a question about the 49 gates of impurity. And I was wondering if our lack of adhesion with the Creator and our difficulty in walking with the Creator, is it a part of what helps to bring us to maybe the gate of tears.

M. Laitman: No, no, no, the gate of tears is not yet on the way here. No. It's not relevant yet.

Question (Women Turkiye 7): (01:53:31) At what point along the way will we reach the perception that what's concealed will no longer be needing our eyes being shut, but we'll have a connection with the concealed, like it's talking about in the allegory? How will we come to such a perception that the concealed will already become revealed, meaning we won't have to close our eyes anymore?

M. Laitman: By... I don't know. It's still distant. It's still distant. But towards us, it can be revealed very soon. We'll see soon.

Question (Women Turkiye 7): (01:54:37) What does it mean to do the work silently?

M. Laitman: Silently is through prayer, the prayer of the individual. It can also be the prayer between a few people, but usually it's prayer.

Question (Women Latin 15): (01:55:12) Fourteen years ago, I saw you for the first time, and I felt completely adhered to you. Is that realistic or is it my imagination?

M. Laitman: What?

Student: That sensation of being adhered to you.

Reader: She's saying that the first time she met you, she had that feeling of being adhered to you. Is that a realistic feeling or is it just her imagination?

M. Laitman: I think it's realistic, yes. I'm open for everyone.

Question (Women Latin 26): (01:56:07) I wanted to ask a question about heart to heart that we learned. How do I need to depict the Creator towards you, in relation to you, and how to depict this exaltedness? What's the relationship there?

M. Laitman: It'll be clarified in the next few lessons, period. You don't know how to stop someone who's asking. The question has to be one sentence, brief and clear to everyone. A person who asks has to maybe write it down, what he's about to ask, write it for himself, shorten it, fix it, and then ask it.

Question (ITA 1): (01:58:48) Do we need to ascend in order to avoid the descents, or do we have to accept the descents as the Creator sends them to us?

M. Laitman: We need to relate to the descents like opportunities to ascend. That's a desired thing. We can't avoid them, but we can do it in such a way.

Question (Women PT 6): (01:59:25) Earlier you told the friend that the women's problem is that they can't, they're not successful at awakening the men. In the awakening, does the awakening of the men, is the advancement of women dependent on the awakening of the men?

M. Laitman: Of course.

Student: Are there specific actions that help that? We have to awaken it, we have to think about it more. What do you suggest?

M. Laitman: I recommend to come closer, come closer not physically, and not even talking so much, but to understand that part of your work is more and more to awaken and even press on the men.

Question (Women Ukraine 2): (02:00:33) To continue with what was asked, how can we more precisely see what that inner action, that inner scrutiny that will help women join the deficiency and the pair of the men?

M. Laitman: There's no need to connect. You should work independently. That's it. You organize yourself.

Question (Baltia 2): (02:01:10) I understood from the allegory that in the garden, there's actually no entrance to the... Because if it was possible, then in corporeality, a drop of corporeal quality, and we can only jump above the fence to the garden, and you can't even jump with your corporeal forces. It's not forces because you're not jumping with your physical feet, but you have to, like a father that you need to be lifted, like you were small, and your father would lift you above the fence, and then you'd see what the Creator would do with you. And your father already does this, and then you're already in the garden, because you really feel that it's not with your own forces that you did this. And therefore, this connection with the Creator is revealed to you.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What to do if your father lifts you, and you start crying because you're afraid of this greatness, you start to be aware that it's such greatness, and you're simply afraid, because you don't know how you'll continue to live if you get there.

M. Laitman: There you have the Creator. Be healthy and think of it.

Question (Women Heb 1): (02:02:42) I heard earlier that you said that in the future, the connection of the group will be with the Creator. What about the connection of the group with you? Will it continue to exist? How?

M. Laitman: Whenever I need to, I'll appear. Don't worry. In all kinds of forms. You don't have connection with what's concealed.

Student: Will only students who are in attainment feel a connection with you, or all the students?

M. Laitman: All the students. Whoever wants, we'll be in contact.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (02:03:23) We're reading, let's say today, a letter from Baal HaSulam. From 1927. Or later, we're reading an article from Rabash from the 80s.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: If we're connected well, we feel it lives in us. It illuminates us. When I hear, let's say, lessons of Rav from, I don't know from when, whether it's a lesson from yesterday or from 20 years ago. I feel the same, that it shines, that it's alive. Meaning, why are we so pressured from what will be when Rav, his body, won't be between us? But his Torah is eternal, like Baal HaSulam and Rabash. And it's ready for us at the time that we want to drink it. No?

M. Laitman: Well, let's say so. I can't compare myself with Baal HaSulam and Rabash. But, in somewhat, I connect you, also to them, also to the Creator, according to my small forces. I don't place myself next to Baal HaSulam and Rabash. Who am I? But, in whatever I can help, in this world, in the other worlds, I'll do it. We'll keep working together. At least, the one who leads you to the words of Baal HaSulam and Rabash, I'll try to be it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (02:05:40) I heard you saying that there are people that came and they're not thinking about spiritual ascent. We all came here to change our nature. We hear that we need to connect. It's against our nature. But, we understand that this is the way. What's the meaning of not thinking about spiritual ascent? What does that mean? How is it expressed?

M. Laitman: How is it expressed? Spiritual attainment?

Student: I know that there are people that don't think about this. So, what are they thinking about?

M. Laitman: I don't know. Why do you care about it? If for you, spiritual ascending is an important place and has a goal to you, to everything you do. So, it's correct and good.

Reader: We're moving to the next part of the lesson, which is, “Ruin as an Opportunity for Correction.”
