Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 2. Chapter One. #2

Reader: Hello. We are reading in the “Study of the Ten Sefirot,” Part 2. We are in chapter 1, Item 2. The words of the ARI, headline, Expansion of the Light of Ein Sof into the Space.

Reading: (00:20) Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 2. Chapter One. Inner Light - Twice

Expansion of the light of Ein Sof into the space. The expansion occurred slowly
1. 2. When the light of Ein Sof was extended as a straight line (5) into the above-mentioned space, it was not extended (6) and expanded all the way down at once, but rather expanded slowly. I wish to say that in the beginning, the line of light began to expand, and right at the beginning (7) of its expansion as a line, it expanded and was extended and became like one wheel, (8) round on all sides.

Reader: Let's move to inner light, item two. We are in item five in Inner Light, explaining straight line.

Reading: (02:21) Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 2. Chapter One. Inner Light #5

Inner Light

5. A straight line into the space‎: A light that expands gradually, according to the laws of the four phases, meaning from refined to coarse, and stops at phase four, is called a straight line.

Reader: Continuing item six, explaining all the way down at once.

Reading: (02:40) Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 2. Chapter One. Inner Light #6

6. All the way down at once‎: Do not be mistaken and interpret “at once” and “slowly” that are used here, as times, for it is known that spirituality is above time. Rather, “all the way down at once” means that there is no change of degrees, and “slowly” means according to the cascading of the degrees. He wishes to say, by the order of the cascading of the four known phases, as he will explain henceforth.

Reader: Item seven in inner light, explaining at the beginning of its expansion as a line.

Reading: (03:26) Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 2. Chapter One. Inner Light #7

7. At the beginning of its expansion as a line: This is the root of the expansion that was innovated, called a “line.” Because it is a new emanated being, it has a special root which shines on it as its innovation, which called the “Sefira of Keter of the line.” From this Keter, the light of Ein Sof expands to the line by way of the above four phases: Phase one is called Hochma; phase two is called Bina; phase three is called Zeir Anpin; and phase four is called Malchut. The ARI says with regard to this order that it expanded “slowly”: Keter expanded first, Hochma next, and then Bina, then Zeir Anpin, etc. (Questions and Answers on the Meaning of Words, Part One, Item 8, the meaning of the word, “afterwards”).

Reader: Item eight in inner light, explaining one wheel round on all sides.

Reading: (04:46) Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 2. Chapter One. Inner Light #8

8. One wheel, round on all sides: For the meaning of the word “circle,” see Questions and Answers on the Meaning of Words, Part One, Item 41, and also Part One, Chapter One, Item 100. When the light of the line dresses in a circle, it is called a “wheel.”

M. Laitman: Yes, I don't see questions. No. It's probably clear. We have Petah Tikva. Oh, please, Petah Tikva.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (05:36) I wanted to ask about... We know that there is an order of circles and lines. First there is the circles before the restriction, then there is when there is a screen. Then it enters as a line inside the vessel. Why does he write the opposite here?

M. Laitman: Why opposite?

Student: Because first he writes about a line, then he says it becomes a circle.

M. Laitman: No, I didn't understand.

Student: Should I read it again?

M. Laitman: (06:08) It’s the light of Ein Sof that extends as a straight line into the base. It doesn't extend all the way down at once but rather expanded slowly. I wish to say that in the beginning, the line of light began to expand, and right at the beginning of its expansion as a line, it expanded and was extended, and became like one wheel around on all sides. So, what's the question?

Student: That it became one wheel around on all sides after the line that was expanded. After a line was extended, he says it becomes circular, and we know that the circles pertain to before the restriction, that there are circles.

M. Laitman: There are circles before the restriction, and there are circles in the restriction, and after the restriction. Yes.

Student: So, when we talk about Ein Sof…

M. Laitman: When we talk about Ein Sof, there are circles. Yes, still circles.

Student: What's the difference between a circle and a line?

M. Laitman: That's what it's called.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (07:55) Maybe the question is, what's the difference between a circle like a wheel, and a circle?

M. Laitman: A wheel has the same conditions on all sides, and it doesn't have above and below, whereas in circles, a line is the main division between them, where there are many discernments already in that line between the discernments.

Student: So, that's the difference between a wheel and a line. What's the difference between a wheel and a circle?

M. Laitman: Between a wheel and a circle, the difference is that in a wheel, we have light that accumulates in a round manner, and light that's in it, in a circle, illuminates by the line.

Question (PT 19): (09:19) He writes that the light expands slowly in four phases, and what does it depend on that the light expands in four phases? What should be there? Is it automatic, or something in relation to the frame?

M. Laitman: The light expands in four phases after it emerges from the connection with the Emanator. It expands in the pipe, in all these discernments, in all these phases.

Student: Are there conditions for the light to expand in four phases?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What are the conditions?

M. Laitman: These are conditions according to laws of the line and the conditions according to the line of the circle, and how they get along together.

Student: How can we explain it? Why should it happen? What makes it happen? It doesn't happen automatically. Does it depend on a person, or not yet?

M. Laitman: This has to be because they have a root, they have one root.

Student: What do you mean one root of a person?

M. Laitman: The Creator.

Student: Does it depend on a person's relation, or is it something that happens by itself?

M. Laitman: That we'll learn.

Question (Holland): (10:47) Adding to, let's say, the question of the friend. The meaning of the addition of wheel. What does wheel actually give, more expression, let's say, to the circle when it's clothed with the lights of the line? Is it a sort of a movement that the wheel expresses? What does this mean, this wheel, this expression?

M. Laitman: The fact that the light of a line can enter the circle, it enters and rounds up according to the vessels, and by that becomes round. That's a big change in the light, the light of line and the round light, and that's it. And all the rest it’s onwards.

Question (Florida): (12:02) Because there's no time in spirituality, does that mean that all states of development exist simultaneously and also develop slowly?

M. Laitman: No, we will learn this, it's still early.

Question (W Unity): (12:43) It is written that in the creation, the root shines with a new quality called Keter. How is this innovation connected to the Sefira of Keter? How is the vessel designed here?

M. Laitman: The fact that the Keter is revealed in the line means that the line takes on bestowal from the light of Ein Sof such that it builds in him the phase of Keter.

Question (Unity 2): (13:51) What is the state in which you come to complete agreement with the Creator, with the Rav, with the adhesion, with the friends, and only one point remains that you hold on to, to continue to pray for the friends that they will connect to the Creator.

M. Laitman: That's a good state, continue developing it.

Question (MAK 25): (14:32) Can we attain anything besides the line?

M. Laitman: We can attain line, but in this line we can attain all that we need. The Creator is revealed precisely in this way.

Question (Turkiye 1): (15:03) If the root of the light is the Creator, what is the light in itself and what activates the light?

M. Laitman: The light is the way the Creator relates to the vessels, to the desire to receive, to Malchut of Ein Sof, and for the time being, we can add a lot.

Question (H 10): (15:57) Why do we need a disconnect between the circles?

M. Laitman: We need a disconnect from the light of Ein Sof because it gives us the ability to perform free actions.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (16:27) It was a line, then it turned into a circle. So, when the Kli loses its screen, it becomes circular, otherwise, it would remain as a line. So what is the process where the vessel loses the screen, the ability to feel the coarseness, and what is it?

M. Laitman: Where the Kli loses the screen, as you say, is not exactly, because the Kli with the screen can equalize itself with the line, whereas a Kli without a screen is not capable.

Question (W Turkiye 7): (17:34) It is written that the light expands slowly. Indeed, although we really want to connect, the connection with the friends doesn't happen immediately. So, which desire of ours causes this gradual expansion of the light?

M. Laitman: Nearing between us. We need to add vessels here. What comes from above is the light of Ein Sof, and Malchut of Ein Sof, and nothing more than that. If we want to make a connection between them, we need to bring them to some common discernment. How should we say it?

Student: It's not clear.

M. Laitman: And that's what the vessel is trying to do.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (18:53) What does it mean that the line receives bestowal from Ein Sof?

M. Laitman: The line receives bestowal from Ein Sof, could be that the light that’s in Ein Sof obligates the line to replace its relation to what's happening. He begins to see that if he will begin to receive, he will come closer to Ein Sof specifically.

Student: Can I connect it to what he says afterwards? That’s because it is a new innovation, it makes us feel through the line, we get more impressions from the Creator?

M. Laitman: Yes, correct.

Question (W Heb 1): (19:58) I wanted to ask, this gradual expansion, first of all, Keter appears, and then this emphasis on gradual, that more states appear. What’s the role of Keter? How is it expressed afterwards, the appearance of Keter?

M. Laitman: The appearance of the Keter comes in an annulment towards the light of Ein Sof. As the Kli of Keter, the desire to receive in Keter is completely made dependent and connected to the light of Ein Sof. And that's how they develop together, connected to one another.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (21:04) Between the world that is described in the wholeness of a circle, there's an expansion in the form of four phases of direct light. So, there's someone who discerns this world and feels several discernments there, a certain order, and then another system of another world happens, another wholeness.

M. Laitman: Yes, it's the desire to receive that is being revealed now. That desire, it feels that way. The difference between the worlds and the phases.

Student: It's as if a desire at a certain degree has an upper one, and that desire feels that upper one in four phases of direct light. It's got several discernments with respect to the complete state that is above it. It's like a law that operates at every state.

M. Laitman: Correct.

Student: How is this expressed in our work? The discernments that the lower one has over desire, or if someone perceives the Ten as an upper one, where does he find four phases in the Ten?

M. Laitman: In a person's relation to the Ten, he sees that they're all changing towards him.

Student: How can we feel it more tangibly? We have work with the Ten, and…

M. Laitman: Try, try as it's written. Try.

Question (W PT 33): (22:57) What's the difference between a circular light that is in a wheel and the light of the line?

M. Laitman: The round light in the circle has no limitations. It's not arranged by degrees. It's simply the light that was created that way. And the light of the line is the light that enters the line and arranges itself in how to change from degree to degree, from state to state in order to be closest to the desire in the Kli.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (24:00) How does a circle become a line, and how does a line become a circle?

M. Laitman: By a person who receives the behavior of the light with him and can change the state accordingly. That's something we will learn. We don't even have examples for this yet.

Student: Here we're learning the roots, right? Before the intervention of man.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, how in these roots do these two realities exist, of limitation and lack of limitation?

M. Laitman: That's what he says, that although we have great limitation, but the Malchut of Ein Sof annuls herself in the desire to adhere to the light of Ein Sof. And it turns out that the light of Ein Sof and Malchut of Ein Sof are equal. And Malchut of Ein Sof receives the light of Ein Sof and it illuminates in her.

Student: So, the cancellation of Malchut turns the line into a circle without limitation?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes, we will learn that.

Student: And how does it happen the other way? Meaning, how does she again enter into a line?

M. Laitman: Malchut of Ein Sof annuls herself as much as she can, and then the light of Ein Sof operates through her upon the whole ten Sefirot.

Question (CzechSlovak): (26:04) Is the line in a circle connected to the cycles of life?

M. Laitman: Everything is there. All that happens to us, first of all, is in the circles, and in the line, and then comes to us, and we must perform these actions. And what we learn is that by our actions, the extent in which we will be closer to what's happening to us in the circles, by that, we will come closer to the Creator.

Question (W Turkiye): (27:10) In our work, should there be a difference in the relation to the light that comes as a line as opposed to the light that comes as a circle?

M. Laitman: We connect to the light that comes to us under the laws of the line, because that's how we are built this way after the restriction. So, all the rest we will learn along the way.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (27:53) He writes that the line expanded, and extended, and became like a wheel around on all sides. Around what?

M. Laitman: The surrounding light which shines around the circle, is also equal on all sides.

Student: Is the surrounding light a line?

M. Laitman: No, it's a surrounding light that's in the circles.

Student: Why doesn't the line penetrate the circle but is around it?

M. Laitman: The line can't penetrate the circle because they have different laws.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (28:43) Does the circle work according to the law of the first restriction, or does this law not apply to it?

M. Laitman: Everyone works with the law of the first restriction. In addition to it, we will learn other laws that the line clothes on in order to perform the thought of creation, the purpose of creation. After all the laws, where the light of Ein Sof clothes them and takes on a change of form by them, there are a few additional laws.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (29:44) It's written that the expansion was gradual. Is there a meaning to the word gradual? In Hebrew, it says slowly. Or does it only mark the expansion in four phases?

M. Laitman: Gradual expansion, it means it's expanding by degrees. And as much as there are in the light and the vessel degrees, those degrees need to clothe one another. Four, four, three, three, two, two, let's say it this way. It should be that way.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (30:36) Is the clothing of the line in the circles, those wheels he describes, these are the first three if I'm not mistaken?

M. Laitman: I don't know yet.

Question (PT 35): (31:12) How do we implement the law of expansion, of cascading of the light in the vessels in the connection in the Ten?

M. Laitman: We will learn about it later.

Student: So, how should we in the Ten increase our common vessel so that the light will operate within us for real?

M. Laitman: Through the connection between us.

Question (Philippines): (31:53) From the standpoint of the vessel that will receive the light, is the light coming from the straight line different from the light that’s coming from the circle, which is the surrounding light, in terms of intensity?

M. Laitman: Of course it's different.

Student: Is it different in its intensity? How is it different?

M. Laitman: It's much more than the other.

Question (Kyiv 3): (33:01) When we study the Preface or the Study of the Ten Sefirot, I get a feeling I'm told something that belongs to a completely different galaxy. I don't understand how this dresses within me. I hear friends' questions as if they are totally inside, they are revealing all of it. But what should I look at? What should I do in order to feel it just a little bit?

M. Laitman: There is but one advice here. We're talking about the expansion of the light into the vessel, into the desire to receive. Imagine to yourself that the light bestows upon you a desire to fill, to bestow, to give you everything, and you gradually discover your desire to receive from Him, and gradually this light enters you and, how should we say, builds in you that degree. In principle, that's the entire wisdom of Kabbalah.

Student: In the previous lessons, I heard that everything that is said in the wisdom of Kabbalah is what happens in the line.

M. Laitman: Yes, yes, in the line.

Student: Can we say that circles are a potential in itself, and the line is what enters my perception?

M. Laitman: We can't feel what's in Ein Sof. We can feel what's in our vessel, our desires, what happens in them.

Student: So, what relation is there between the line and what is in my vessel?

M. Laitman: It's the same thing.

Student: So, last question. On what does it depend? What from Ein Sof enters the line?

M. Laitman: It depends on your desire.

Question (W Moscow 8): (35:39) From the perspective of the vessel, can it be said that through the line is how the Creator speaks with it, and our task is to feel it as a line?

M. Laitman: Yes, that way too.

Student: And that Sefira is like a waiting time when it builds the vessel.

M. Laitman: Well, here you can talk about many concepts and make speculations, but we're not quite talking about that for the time being.

Question (Almaty): (36:23) When I hear words like circle, lines, Sefira, I have all kinds of diagrams in my head. What's the right way to describe and feel what is a line and what is a circle?

M. Laitman: Different expansions of light. The circle is the expansion of light without any limitations, and the line is already with a limitation or limitations.

Question (W Rus): (37:04) When I listen to TES, within me there's a huge desire to understand it, to know it. And so, what we're learning now is above our nature, above the human intellect. We are depicting ourselves, thinking that we understand something. How far is it from the truth, and what is the real meaning? And what's most important to have this desire to want to implement it and to know it? I want to understand what's the essence of our action.

M. Laitman: The meaning of our action is that we will want to be like a corrected vessel. Meaning that we will receive in a line precisely to the measure of this vessel.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (38:22) Should we aspire to feel such relations and actions we learn about?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, can you explain in terms of relationships between us, what is the relation of a circle as opposed to a relation of a line?

M. Laitman: The attitude of a circle is one who does not make calculations to all the states, or to all the states, but rather according to what's in him. That's the circle. Just as he is round. Whereas the other form of connection is through the line. The desire to receive that was in the circle previously, performs a certain action upon it, and according to this action it becomes similar to the line, and then he expands with the nature of the line to the light, and there's a connection between them.

Student: I'm not sure I understand. What is in my relation to the friend or to the friends when I relate to him as a circle or as a line?

M. Laitman: When I relate in the form of a circle to friends, in an equal way towards everyone. And in the form of a line, I relate to friends in a way that is not equal in every place, in all discernments. And that's how I relate to them. That's how we learn our nature.

Student: So, should I pay attention to the different ways in which I relate to the friends and learn from it? Is this what you're saying?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Okay, if I may ask another question. We see that the expansion from above downward is that there's a line, and then expansion into a circle, then another line, then another circle, right?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What can we learn from this, from that form of expansion?

M. Laitman: No, we didn't get to the form of the circles and lines, that they're arranged that way like you're saying. Although it's so, but it's still early to talk about it.

Reader: Let's continue to item three, the words of the ARI.

Reading: (41:40) Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 2. Chapter One. Item 3 - Twice

The circle is not adhered to Ein Sof, but is connected to it through the line
1. 3. This circle was not adhered (9) to the light of Ein Sof that surrounds it from all sides, for if it adhered to it, (10) it would return to the way it was, and would be annulled in the light of Ein Sof. In that case, its power would not be seen at all, and everything would be only the light of Ein Sof, as in the beginning. Hence, this circle is adjacent to the circle Ein Sof, and is not adhered to it. The connection and adhesion of that emanated circle with the emanating Ein Sof (20) is primarily through that line (30), through which light from Ein Sof is extended and descends, and bestows in that circle.

Reading: (44:02) Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 2. Chapter One. Inner Light #9

9. Not adhered to the light of Ein Sof: This means that all the light that is in the circles comes only from what they receive from the line, whose light is regarded as a new illumination, which has only three phases. Hence, it differs from the light of Ein Sof that encircles in the form of circular light (Part One, Chapter Two, Item 3). This is why the ARI writes that it is not adhered to the light of Ein Sof, meaning that the form of the circular light of Keter of the circles is not the same as the light in Ein Sof. It is so because equivalence of form is adhesion in spirituality (Part One, Questions and Answers on the Meaning of Words, Item 12 and Part One, Chapter Two, Inner Light Item 1), and the term “cause” means a causing element.

Reading: (45:09) Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 2. Chapter One. Inner Light #10

10. If it adhered to it, it would return to the way it was: If its illumination had been in all four phases as is light of Ein Sof, its form would have been the same and in adhesion with Ein Sof. In that state, it would be completely annulled in Ein Sof, and completely indistinguishable.

Reading: (45:35) Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 2. Chapter One. Inner Light #20

20. The connection and adhesion of that emanated circle with the emanating ‎Ein Sof‎: The light that expands from Ein Sof to the emanated being is called “direct light.” This light is tied to the emanated being by a clothing of reflected light that rises from the screen upward through a coupling by striking, whose meaning will be explained later. It is called “attachment” because this reflected light that rises from the screen of phase four, from the straight line, holds and captures the upper light in the circle, in a way that in a place where the reflected light does not clothe the upper light, the emanated being regards it as absent, because it does not attain it without that clothing called “reflected light.” It is like a candle made of tallow, where although its lighting force comes primarily from the tallow, still, the light is not connected to the tallow, but to the wick. When the wick burns down, the light burns out, although there is still a lot of tallow left there.

Reading: (47:30) Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 2. Chapter One. Inner Light #30

30. Is primarily through that line‎: The reason is that there is no screen in the circles that can raise reflected light. Without it the emanated being cannot connect with the upper light (see above Item 5). We learned there that the vessel of the line is called a “pipeline,” and it is much lower than the vessels of the circles that appeared with the first restriction, before the appearance of the line. This is why the ARI tells us that although the vessels of the circles are much higher than the line, they do not receive any light by themselves. Instead, they must receive all the light in them through that line, which is much lower than them, for the above reason.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Reader: The friends have questions.

M. Laitman: Questions. Well, what else do we need here?

Reader: Yes. We read item 30. We can continue to item 4.

Reading: (48:52) Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 2. Chapter One. Item 4 - Twice

The light of Ein Sof surrounds and bestows upon the circle from afar
1. 4. Ein Sof encircles and surrounds it from all sides (40) because it, too, is like a circle around it and far from it (50). The illumination of Ein Sof in the emanated beings must come only through that line. If the light had been drawn to them through their surroundings, too, the emanated beings would have been like the Emanator Himself (60), without a boundary and ration (70).

Reading: (50:40) Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 2. Chapter One. Inner Light #40

40. Ein Sof encircles and surrounds it from all sides: We distinguish two kinds of light in each Sefira: inner light and surrounding light. The light that is clothed within the Sefira is called “inner light,” and the light that cannot clothe within it due to the boundary that is there, is regarded as remaining in its root, and receiving from it an illumination from afar, called “surrounding light.” The ARI tells us that although the circles are far from Ein Sof, meaning that there is a great disparity of form between them, still they receive from it an illumination from afar, called “Surrounding Light,” which shines in two manners: in general, and in particular. The term “encircling” relates to the general surrounding light, and the term “surrounding” relates to the particular surrounding light.

Reading: (52:02) Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 2. Chapter One. Inner Light #50

50. A circle around it and far from it: He tells us that this surrounding light that the circles receive from Ein Sof shines and surrounds them from all sides, meaning from all four phases. This means that even phase four, where the inner light does not shine, still receives an illumination from afar by means of the surrounding light from Ein Sof. The reason for this is because Ein Sof “is also like a circle.” This means that the light of Ein Sof is called “circular light” because it does not discriminate between the phases, and shines and fills phase four, as well (Part One, Chapter Two, Item 3). Therefore, its illumination reaches phase four of the circles, though from afar.

Reading: (53:19) Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 2. Chapter One. Inner Light #60

60. The emanated beings would have been like the Emanator Himself: See above Item 10.

Reading: (53:25) Baal HaSulam. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 1. Part 2. Chapter One. Inner Light #70

70. Without a boundary and ration: The restriction and the screen that were placed on phase four, so as not to receive light within her, places a boundary on the light, for it limits its expansion, which stops at the boundary of phase four. And all that the emanated being receives, which was diminished by the restriction, is called a “ration.”

M. Laitman: Yes, So you finished item 70.

Reader: Item 70, yes, item 4 and the small item 70. Do we take questions from the friends, or do we continue?

M. Laitman: I think yes, maybe, even though there are questions, there's not enough material for their questions to be strong. Well, let's see.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (54:37) The circles and the line are two… are those two completely separate systems that don't influence one another?

M. Laitman: You could say that.

Student: And the system of the circles is ready, all at once, prepared, and the line is a system that gradually develops?

M. Laitman: Yes, but it's not completely like you want to say that it's entirely cut off from each other and there's no influence on one another, there's no mutual influence.

Student: The line follows the path that the circles have prepared for it in advance. Can you say that?

M. Laitman: No, they have a restriction on their desire to work with it only in a certain way that is suitable for the circles. However, not like you're saying.

Student: So, he relates to the circles or does he work only with, I don't know, his own restriction and the light that acts on that? In the introduction to TES, for example, it's described in a linear fashion. You don't have circles at all, so why do you need this whole system?

M. Laitman: Because the circles depend on the created beings. If the created being does not want to receive but only to bestow, to connect to the Creator, so it performs actions through which these circles are born, and they make the connection of the development of the line.

Student: So, the circles are an outcome of the lines?

M. Laitman: The circles are what?

Student: The circles, are they an outcome of the lines according to what you just said?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And the lines, aren't they an outcome of the circles?

M. Laitman: No.

Student: All right. We still have much to learn.

Question (MAK 11): (57:02) In the third point, Baal HaSulam adds a concept of the power of the circle.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: He writes that its power is not manifest. What is the power of the circle?

M. Laitman: It is what, in principle, we are needy of, that complete action so that the desire of the created being will incorporate in the desire of the Creator. But that doesn't happen so quickly. We need to get them to know each other through the general vessel, through the surrounding light, etc. Soon it will be clearer.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (58:01) Towards the end of small Item 40, he says that even though the circles are far from each other, meaning that there is great disparity of form between them, with all that, they receive an illumination from Him from afar, which is called surrounding light, which shines in two aspects, the aspect of the general and the particular. And surrounding indicates the general light, Ohr Makif, a different word for surrounding also. And circling, rather, relates to general surrounding light, and the term surrounding relates to particular surrounding light. Can you explain?

M. Laitman: I accept it as you hear it. No more than that.

Student: What can you feel here?

M. Laitman: That there is a difference.

Student: Okay, so we have general surrounding lights and particular surrounding lights.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, should we wait for the continuation of the interpretation?

M. Laitman: The continuation.

Question (H 10): (59:39) What does it mean that the circles are much higher than the line?

M. Laitman: The matter is, in the circles, the light is much stronger than the light in the line. Only that in the line, the light is more general, that it includes everyone.

Reader: Okay, we have no choice, we need to go to the next part. So we thank you, Rav, and we'll continue to the next part of the lesson.
