Part 2: Lesson on the topic of “The Creator Is the Place”

Reader: Hello, the topic of our lesson now is “The Place of the World, the Place of the Creator.” We are in excerpt number 4 from our sources. We are in excerpt number 4 on the selected excerpts on “The Creator is the Place.”

Item 4, Rabash, Article 20

Reading: (00:23) In the work, a “place” is a place of deficiency. That is, if a person has some lack, we should say that he has a place in which to receive a filling for the lack. But if he has no lack, it cannot be said that it can be filled, since there is no one to fill. For example, if one is not hungry, he cannot eat. This is considered that he has no place to fill his hunger. Or, if he is not thirsty, he cannot drink water, since he has no place in which to receive the filling.

Re-Reading: Item 4, Rabash, Article 20

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (02:49) Why is the place called one of the names of the Creator?

M. Laitman: The place, because where we can imagine actions, that's all inside of the Creator.

Student: I once heard a description from Rav that the place is what remains after we take all the still, vegetative and inanimate.

M. Laitman: You could say that also, yes.

Student: So, what's that place?

M. Laitman: The place is a place of lack which is ready to be filled with whatever it's lacking.

Student: And the deficiency is on our behalf?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Is there something else on our side?

M. Laitman: That should suffice for you.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (04:02) In my Ten, I assume that in each of the Tens, there is a deficiency for connection. Not just understanding, but also it’s a deficiency and a pain. And it's similar to you receiving food and tasting and saying, I don't want to eat this food. How do we overcome this? Move to that part where it's tasty for me or not tasty, pass over that.

M. Laitman: I don't know. I don't think that, well, without flavors, I don't think you can feel the place.

Student: Meaning, taste it through the friend? Instead of tasting it through your flavors? That's what you're saying, actually? We taste it through them?

M. Laitman: Could be.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (05:26) How do we keep the deficiency permanently always for spirituality and increase it each day, every time anew?

M. Laitman: We need to work on it. Through connection between us, through that, we awaken the place of lack.

Student: Meaning that all the work is to work on this in the Ten to increase the deficiency?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (06:08) To receive a deficiency for a bestowal and connection, we need to receive light for that, that He makes this deficiency?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, the deficiency itself is not revealed.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (06:29) The connection between us creates a place? Is that what builds a place?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Why does the connection between us build the place?

M. Laitman: Because then you discover what you lack.

Student: And what I'm missing is actually the place?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And what is our common place?

M. Laitman: Whatever you lack together.

Student: So, there's no other way to discover the place other than through connection? He's revealed there. And what is that place being filled, what is that?

M. Laitman: The place is filled. Then you feel filled instead of the place.

Student: From connection is the place revealed, or is it from the lack of connection the place is revealed?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: From what? From the connection or from the lack of connection?

M. Laitman: Lack of connection.

Reader: We'll continue. Excerpt number 5 from Rabash.

Item 5, Rabash, Article 20

Reading: (08:03)We say, “Blessed is the place.” That is, when one has been rewarded with receiving the lack of the Creator, which is the desire to bestow, the person thanks the Creator for giving him His place, meaning the desire to bestow, which is what the Creator has. A person should achieve this degree of having the desire to bestow. This is why we say, “Blessed is the place,” for giving us the place, meaning His deficiency, which is the desire to bestow, for with this desire of the Creator, the Creator can satisfy it with delight and pleasure.

Question (Woman Latin): (09:24) How can we help create a place of deficiency inside of us in order to receive the light of the Creator?

M. Laitman: Only through the study, studying together, also giving each other, relaying to each other our impressions from the study, from that we have this accumulation, this incorporation of lacks, of desires. Then each one who goes through these stages can, to an extent, express the lack that is born within him.

Question (Woman Petah Tikva): (10:19) How can we develop something that we haven't tasted or felt?

M. Laitman: That isn't true. We are ready, we are ready, ready to awaken the lack even for things that we've never felt, since the foundations of these desires are within us.

Question (Woman Heb 1): (11:07) How do we awaken such a deficiency in the people of Israel?

M. Laitman: Through our work, through our work. We need to connect, to yearn, to discover that state through the connection between us, the state in which the Creator governs us, resides with us, and from that to try to find, to discover the place of the lack.

Question (Woman Heb 2): (12:00) What is the blessed place, blessed is the place?

M. Laitman: We bless the Creator for having revealed, for having revealed the place where we can discover Him, resemble Him, and to thank Him.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (12:58) It turns out that the whole of creation is a system of deficiencies. All of humanity the Creator dispersed many deficiencies, and life began. And he writes there that if a person receives a deficiency for water, then he's thirsty, he goes to drink. Meaning the deficiencies are very clear. My question is why in the spiritual deficiency when a person receives an awakening of the point in the heart, it starts becoming very clear to him that he's missing something beyond this world? So the point in the heart awakens, he comes to study a method, and it seems like the more the years go by, also as we're continuing what we talked about earlier, it becomes less and less clear. The deficiency becomes less focused and sharp like it was in the beginning. I'm assuming that each, whoever the point in the heart awakened and came here, when he came here he wanted to devour everything, every lesson, every dissemination, every meeting with the friends, every gathering of friends. And it seems like the more the years go by, the Creator takes that sharpness, and it becomes a little kind of room temperature kind of, less hot. Why does He do this? Why doesn't He leave it clear? It's just like when I'm hungry, I want to go eat, I want to have a point in the heart, I want spirituality, I want to bestow it to friends. Why doesn't He let it be clear? Why does He disperse this feeling and make it unclear almost, foggy?

M. Laitman: It's like photography. When you're about to take a photo, you take your camera, and you calibrate it such that whatever you're going to take a picture of will be in focus. The same way here.

Student: It seems like when you come to the path, the picture is very focused. You come, you receive, it seems like everything is very clear.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And the more you advance and you want more and more, you can't focus on it. It's like the Creator is constantly moving, you can't follow Him to keep the focus, and then all kinds of questions come about whether I'm photographing correctly. Do I need to replace the camera? Well, what's going on? Why does He do this? He can leave the focus and let's work, we'll make many pictures, and we'll progress.

M. Laitman: That isn't the goal. The goal is simply, how can I see the picture clearly? That's it. Then the Creator and I are looking at it with one eye.

Student: What does the Creator want to give us by concealing himself and making the work very confusing and unclear?

M. Laitman: No, he doesn't do these things, He doesn't make them confused, to the contrary. I don't know how to put it. He guides us. He guides us to look at the picture through our Arvut, mutual guarantee, through our Arvut. And if we don't have Arvut, then we don't see it right. That's all it is.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (18:27) With your permission, at the beginning of this excerpt, we'll read the first sentence if possible, and we'll understand what's happening. We say, blessed is the place, that is, when one has been rewarded with receiving the lack of the Creator, which is the desire to bestow. If we can explain this thing, what is it? Deficiency of the Creator, that you're rewarded with receiving a lack of the Creator? The Creator is bestowal, right? That's the essence of the Creator. It's the force to bestow.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And that's risen, which is the desire to bestow?

M. Laitman: The desire to bestow, yes.

Student: There's some kind of contradiction here. If He's the abundance, and He's the cause of the abundance, suddenly He has a deficiency? The Creator has a deficiency, which is a desire to bestow? He is in abundance. How does he want the deficiency to bestow?

M. Laitman: He has no desire?

Student: Just to explain this paragraph, if possible.

M. Laitman: He has the desire to bestow, that's why he created the world.

Student: Yes, that's a lack, He has a lack?

M. Laitman: Yes, a lack to bestow.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (20:12) How to discover the distance between me and the Creator?

M. Laitman: I don't know, we don't have a gauge.

Student: All the time when I'm around my friends in the Ten, I discover what needs correcting. But there is something active, some action during the friends in order to discover this distance between me and the Creator. Is there something to do?

M. Laitman: The distance between myself and the Creator? How can I discover it?

Student: Is it just a gift?

M. Laitman: It is a gift, clearly so.

Student: That's the matter, that's the prayer. Is this something random that is what we discover, discovering the distance between me and the Creator?

M. Laitman: No.

Student: What's the process to come and discover this distance, to gauge the distance?

M. Laitman: The distance is revealed through connection, through connection. We'll speak of it.

Student: Connection is the same thing as the Creator?

M. Laitman: No.

Student: In the connection, we'll discover the quality of the Creator.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: But to come to connection and the prayer, I need first to see the distance, to feel the distance?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So that the connection feels to me as if we’ve already succeeded?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Before that point, how to come to see the distance, so that there will be fuel?

M. Laitman: I don't know. Okay. We went through many questions and didn't receive answers, that's what I feel in total from the students.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (24:06) The time towards the convention is accelerating, we're at the beginning of a week. You can feel the very special work of the whole Kli. What's important for us to focus on this week, on what?

M. Laitman: This week, it's the last few days before the congress, yes?

Student: A little less than a month, about three weeks. But you can feel like every day here is critical.

M. Laitman: Yes, so what’s the question?

Student: What is it important that we should focus on this week so we don't disperse ourselves and not miss what's important for you to lead us towards the convention?

M. Laitman: Discovering the vessel, the general vessel with all its discernments. That's what we need to reveal. Then we'll be able to be certain, confident that we're holding on to the Creator and His powers.

Student: In my attitude towards the friend, what needs to be focused on mostly in order to discover the lack? What helps most?

M. Laitman: We need to try, each one of us, to be in the center of the Ten and for the center of the Ten to be in the center of the society. And for the society to be at the center of reality and in that reality, we connect the Creator, the central Force, that’s all.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (27:12) In the lesson we talked a lot about, also now in this excerpt, about the lack for spirituality, for bestowal. Friends also talked about the lack that comes from life disconnecting us from this deficiency.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Especially before the convention, there's a lot of disturbances for friends, probably before they receive a great light, also coarseness comes. How do we not fear this lack of desire, resistance, all those things? It seems like we're breaking all the time on this part in life, of this resistance, the thoughts against the lack for spirituality. We don't seemingly attribute them to the Creator or use them correctly. There's some part where I feel that we are not relating to it correctly. Why are we doing this? Meaning why do we want to erase another part which also establishes me?

M. Laitman: I don't understand what you're asking.

Student: I'm now going to go out into the streets, and I'll get all kinds of alien thoughts.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: I entered here, and I have a desire for spirituality. I don't want to remain in this classroom all my life, I also have a life. Why don't I manage? Why is there the feeling like these alien thoughts are not part of the process, that we need to use it to build above it a greater lack? Before the convention, there will specifically be a lot of disturbances for friends. How in this mutual Arvut between us do we make sure that every friend will have some point to grip on to and to rise above all these things?

M. Laitman: Think about it until tomorrow, and tomorrow we'll talk about it. Alright? Well, continue.

Reader: We're going to move to a workshop where we're going to summarize everything we heard so far in the lesson. Let's do a summary in the Tens of what happened in the lesson.
