Part 1: The Introduction To The Study Of The Ten Sefirot, Item 60.

Reader: Hello, we continue with the Introduction to the Study of the Sefirot by Baal HaSulam from item 60. You can find all the study material on our website, kabbalahgroup.info, and in the Arvut system. And we will start The Introduction To The Study Of The Ten Sefirot, Item 60.

M. Laitman: Let's continue, Item 60, Introduction to TES, please.

Reading: (00:44) Item 60

Yet, in this repentance, he did not correct at all the first concealment of the face, which he had had before, but only from now on after he has been granted the revelation of the face. In the past, however, before he was rewarded with repentance, the concealment of the face and all the mistakes remained as they were, without any change or correction whatsoever, since then, too, he believed that the troubles and suffering came to him as a punishment, as it is written, “they will say in that day: Are not these evils come upon us because our God is not among us?”

M. Laitman: Well, we'll continue. He continues Baal HaSulam. So, let's follow him, 61.

Reading: (02:11) Item 61

Therefore, he is still considered an incomplete righteous because one who is awarded the revelation of the face, namely the complete measure of His goodness, as befits His name, is called “righteous” (Item 55). This is so because he justifies His guidance as it truly is, that He is utterly good and utterly perfect with His creations, that He is good to the good and to the bad.

Hence, since he has been awarded the revelation of the face, from here on he merits the name “righteous.” However, since he has not completed the correction, but only the concealment within concealment, and has not corrected the first concealment, but only from here on, that time, before he was awarded repentance, still does not merit the name “righteous.” This is because then he is left with the concealment of the face, as before. For this reason, he is called “incomplete righteous,” meaning one who still needs to correct his past.

M. Laitman: Well, he writes here in such a smooth, simple way, that there is not that much to ask. We'll continue.

Reading: (04:38) Item 62

He is also called “medium,” since after he is rewarded with repentance from fear he becomes qualified, through his completion in Torah and good deeds, to be rewarded with repentance from love, as well. Then one attains being a “complete righteous.” Hence, now one is the medium between fear and love, and is therefore named “medium.” However, prior to that, he was not completely qualified to even prepare himself for repentance from love.

Reader: (05:46) He is making this distinction, here, that he used to believe already that the troubles and the torments came to him as a punishment, as the text says. That he said, in that day, because there is no God within me, all these troubles have found me. What is this discernment?

M. Laitman: He feels that inside of him, there are still no such qualities with which he can connect to the Creator. And therefore, as he writes, there is no God amongst me. This is, in the meantime, the situation.

Reader: Because there is no God among us, I am besieged by these evils?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Reader: What's the connection?

M. Laitman: That those desires and thoughts and intentions and actions, in general, that he would do within adhesion with the Creator, he can't do that yet. He still doesn't have the urge for that.

Student: Because of that he's plagued by evils?

M. Laitman: Yes, the place is essentially, seemingly, empty.

Student: But the desires that you mentioned that he did not correct are inside of me?

M. Laitman: Yes?

Student: There are desires that I still cannot correct, cannot connect them with the Creator. And the troubles, they come to me, all kinds of troubles, all kinds of evils. This is inside of me, seemingly, not corrected and the troubles, the evils follow me. What's the connection between what I'm not correcting inside of me and the evils that follow me?

M. Laitman: They come from the same cause, the same cause. To the same extent that you can't be connected, bonded, with the Creator. To the same extent, shape and form, you feel that you're in trouble.

Reader: It's like in two different places: Inside my heart, I still cannot connect all my desires to the Creator, so, I have to correct my heart – there's a big uncorrected place in my heart. That flaw is in me, these corruptions are in me. But the evils, the troubles, they fall on me.

M. Laitman: But where do they come from?

Student: That's what I'm asking?

M. Laitman: From the uncorrected heart.

Reader: It's like life brings on the troubles, from all types of events that come to me, wars, calamities, they just fall on me. It's happening around me in the reality around me. What's the connection between the uncorrected heart that's inside of me, the created being, and the blows that life deals?

M. Laitman: It's the same thing, same thing because you feeling your uncorrected heart, that shows you that you are in a life that is still not properly arranged.

Question (Kyiv 1): (10:36) It says here that complete righteous is one who corrected his past. What does it mean to correct one's past?

M. Laitman: It means that both in the past and the present, especially the past, you don't discover your sins; rather, they all become righteous actions, complete righteous.

Student: Can you correct the past at all?

M. Laitman: Certainly not – not the past, not the present, not the future. It all doesn't exist, if not with respect to our perception.

Question (Hadera 1): (11:51) Can we say that medium is a state of choice?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: It's like saying between him and me.

M. Laitman: I don't know, we'll see.

Question (Tel Aviv 1): () He writes, “he is called righteous because he justifies His guidance as it truly is. That He is utterly good and utterly perfect with His creations”. I'll repeat the question. I'll repeat the quote.

Reader: He wanted to know in item 61, first paragraph, it says, “his name is righteous because he justifies His guidance as it truly is. That He is utterly good and utterly perfect with His creations. That He is good to the good and to the bad”. Can you explain this discernment of a righteous person?

M. Laitman: That he corrected the attitude of the Creator to him as good that does good to the bad and to the good completely.

Student: Can you hear me?

Reader: Yes, we hear you, speak; I repeated the quote, what is the question?

Student: It means that this discernment between good and evil is incorrect. They are not separate things. He has to treat both of them with wholeness. That this discernment about the good and evil is incorrect?

M. Laitman: I don’t understand?

Reader: (14:36) I’ll explain: In the first paragraph we read – in 61 – it says that He treats His created beings with good, His creations are utterly perfect, to the good and to the bad. So, He's asking if He relates with an utterly perfect attitude both to good and the bad, does it mean that our distinction of good and bad is incorrect?

M. Laitman: No, no it's incorrect. Even just the fact that we feel that these are good and those are bad, and it also changes. That's because one has acquired a certain revelation of the Creator, which we call, complete righteous.

Student: It's hard for me to understand that you do good to someone who is bad. Why do good to someone who is bad, how do you justify that?

M. Laitman: Because we see that man is called, a righteous, if he justifies the Providence of the Creator the way it truly is. Meaning, that he sees that the Creator governs the created beings in utter goodness, doing good to the wicked and to the righteous. So, the Creator is called righteous in his eyes. However, since he didn't correct all of the concealment within concealment, when He didn't correct a single concealment, yet. Only then, this time before he achieved repentance, he is not worthy of being considered righteous. Because then the concealment is as it was, and he is called, incomplete righteous; meaning that he still needs to correct His past. Meaning, at the time that he determined to himself out of the concealment, that's what he, now, needs to correct.

Student: No Translation

Question (MAK 25): (18:35) It says, a person is called medium because once he is rewarded with a complete study of the Torah, he is rewarded. What is the complete study of the Torah?

M. Laitman: He uses it only to achieve maximal adhesion with the Creator.

Student: Meaning, first of all, it works with the intention?

M. Laitman: You aren't able to always arrange your intention. The blows come, and then it happens, they correct the person and bring him to wholeness.

Student: So, it's a reforming light that influences us?

M. Laitman: Yes, of course.

Student: About the past, present, and future, double concealment is a concealment on the present and the past?

M. Laitman: Double concealment is a concealment over the past and the present, yes.

Student: It's not always clear if a person can justify the Creator, from now on but he can't justify the past. If I come to justify the Creator, I have to justify Him, fully, not partially. So why can't I do it yet, why can't I justify Him for the past?

M. Laitman: Your coarseness hasn't been corrected, yet; the light hasn't been expressed there yet. We'll study that later on.

Now, what else do we have?.

Question (Tel Aviv 3): (20:30) What is the difference between the revelation of the face and repentance out of love?

M. Laitman: The revelation of the face means revelation of the actions of the Creator. And repentance from love, it's that a person discovers the Creator in His corrected vessels which are aimed at love, at connection. The difference between them, there is none.

Student: What does a person need to add to the revelation of the face so there is repentance from love?

M. Laitman: The complete revelation of the face brings the person to love.

Question (PT 35): (21:51) Before, you said, Oren, the more I correct the heart, I see the world more organized, orderly. What does it mean to see the world more orderly in my correction?

M. Laitman: That you better and better see the actions of the Creator and that the world advances, exactly, according to the Creator's plan.

Student: In this process you just described, does that mean to receive an answer or repentance from the Creator?

M. Laitman: Say it again?

Student: In going through this process of correction in my heart and seeing the world, the system is more and more connected, more and more in love. Does that mean that I receive an answer from the Creator or repentance from the Creator?

M. Laitman: Sure, yes, that's how we receive it and how we advance.

Student: And the answer from the Creator, does it say that we come to fear first and then to love? Is it true for every step in the ladder, this process?

M. Laitman: Yes. Fear and love.

Women MAK

Question (Women Vancouver): (23:23) I didn't understand how do we correct the understandings of the past? Do we have to build a screen to influence them? Can you explain that, please?

M. Laitman: The transgressions of the past, the present correction is what covers them. Therefore, we have no reason to be concerned about the transgressions of the past. They'll certainly be corrected on the way.

Question (Moscow 1): (24:15) Is it always the case that we will work with the world through these images that we correct, that we see from it?

M. Laitman: How otherwise?

Student: So, we just need to increase the pace of the states, to be correct, to change one state to another?

M. Laitman: Yes, and?

Student: I just wanted to know, to understand, what is this game, what is this transition from one state to the next, from one level to the next? And I understood that we change the stages that influence us.

M. Laitman: It's that we correct ourselves in the transition from one degree to the next, from one place to another, one discernment to another. That's actually our work.

Student: But this excitement that appears as a flavor in this work is not in seeing some distant imaginary world that we imagined at the beginning of the study. But rather, specifically, by doing it, we're able to look and see that it changes, but influences us all around us. Is this how it is?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes.

Question (PT 31): (26:02) Regarding what it says about justifying the Creator. Justifying the Creator in one's feeling is not something mechanical, I can do in my intellect, it's to come to a feeling in the heart. The question is how can we change the feeling in the heart to a place where we justify the Creator?

M. Laitman: Again?

Student: How can we succeed, it says that we need to justify the Creator. Now, justifying is in the feeling, I have to come to a feeling where I justify. I can't do it in my intellect, I have to reach such a feeling in the heart. How can we change the feeling in the heart? You can't do it directly right now and say, I'm justifying it, that's it. It doesn't work, how do we do it then?

M. Laitman: We'll see onwards, we'll see next. It's a question that is out there in the open to begin with.

Question (Hadera): (27:1) Can we say that a person whose desires are not all corrected, it feels bad? But it's not punishment that he receives, it's because of the Creator's nature. He cannot be in a place where the desire is not corrected, he cannot connect to the Creator and that's why he feels this way. Not because he's being punished. Maybe that's the answer to this misunderstanding.

M. Laitman: We'll see, we'll see, we'll get, later we'll get to more precise discernments.

Reader, where are we, 62?

Reading: (28:17) Item 62

He is also called “medium,” since after he is rewarded with repentance from fear he becomes qualified, through his completion in Torah and good deeds, to be rewarded with repentance from love, as well. Then one attains being a “complete righteous.” Hence, now one is the medium between fear and love, and is therefore named “medium.” However, prior to that, he was not completely qualified to even prepare himself for repentance from love.

M. Laitman: Clear? That's clear.

Reader: (29:23) What does it mean, repentance out of fear?

M. Laitman: That he's afraid that he can be mistaken and lower the Creator in his eyes to a lower degree than he should be.

Reader: What is repentance out of love?

M. Laitman: Repentance from love is, well, we'll get there. It's that, in love, one covers everything there is with the Creator; as written, love covers all crimes.

Question (PT 29): (30:54) Can we say at what point a person is awarded with love of friends and at what point he is awarded with love of the Creator?

M. Laitman: Love of friends is the entrance to love of the Creator, comes first. And a person should arrange all of the relationship with his friends, and according to how much he invests in that, he merits the degree of love of the Creator.

Student: In these stages of repentance from fear and repentance from love, is there a connection between when he's rewarded with love of the Creator?

M. Laitman: All of that comes to a person according to his corrections – how much he can take upon himself, the work, with his qualities, with his desires.

Question (PT 8): (32:30) When he speaks of an incomplete righteous, can he say about everything, and anything and everything in reality, that there's nothing besides him?

M. Laitman: I think so, he can't say about something that's outside his territory.

Student: What does it mean, outside his territory? He's got an attitude toward reality, what is his territory?

M. Laitman: He has to say that according to how he perceives reality, he sees that the Creator thinks about each and every created being. And takes care of each and every created being, and therefore in his eyes, the Creator is complete righteous.

Student: What is an incomplete righteous, what's incomplete about him? He has to see that something is incomplete, what's incomplete, there?

M. Laitman: What's incomplete for him is that he hasn't revealed. It's incomplete for him because he hasn't revealed the actions of the Creator in all his desires as correct and complete and whole.

Student: He's holding on to there is None Else Besides Him at every moment of his life, or not yet?

M. Laitman: I think he's incapable because one judges through his own faults. And in such states, one is not yet, completely, corrected.

Student: So, wherever he sees that he fails, he says it's incomplete, and when he sees that he succeeds, he says it's complete.

M. Laitman: Ostensibly, yes.

Question (Volga): (35:19) Is there a connection between the regular concealment, the double concealment, love of friends, and love to the Creator?

M. Laitman: Yes, it's a simple connection, it's the ladder of degrees. That only through them, gradually, it is possible to pass through.

Student: Yes, it's clear that it's happening, gradually, but what's the combination by which it should happen? The double concealment is love of friends, the regular concealment is transitioning to the Creator. How does it work?

M. Laitman: We'll review that again together.

Question (Almaty 1): (36:22) We speak of repentance from fear and repentance from love. A person constantly comes back – he departs and he comes back, departs and comes back. How can I be certain that I will not leave, will not come out?

M. Laitman: “Until he who knows all mysteries testifies that he won't go back to folly.” Meaning that the Creator, Himself, guarantees as if to the person that he won't fall into the will to receive, anymore. Promises with the light that holds him that way.

Question (PT 35): (37:30) Between fear and love, a person has to hold on to fear with all his might. The addition of love, is it something he needs to receive from the outside?

M. Laitman: Where does that love clothe into, dress into?

Student: This love clothes in the connection between us – between the friends. As much as I can see the friends closer to me, more in love, so, seemingly I love them more. But the question is when I receive love from them, I, also, see that this is where the Creator is giving me a repentance from love.

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

Student: The question is on the path between fear and love by receiving love from the friends, I am giving them less love. Is it okay right now in this process? Is it still the repentance I receive from the Creator or repentance from love?

M. Laitman: No, I don't understand that to be the case.

Student: They tell us and we learn, that I have to love the friends, and it's not them who need to love me. So, I'm saying, as long as I don't see them in my internality, in love, it's still not repentance from love. I need to see them with love, not that I will receive it from the outside, it's not a condition to the Creator, that's how I understand it.

M. Laitman: And?

Student: So, if the friend is asking, is the addition of love, should the addition of love come from the outside? Let's say it's a correct answer – he has to wait for love from the outside, it's not a condition. That he has to wait for this love on the outside, from the outside?

M. Laitman: I think this could be.

Student: Can this state exist on the path between fear and love, where there's a point where you see the friends giving you more love. And you see the Creator's response in the attitude?

M. Laitman: You try to see the Creator that is there behind the friends.

Question (Tel Aviv 1): (40:17) The medium between fear and love. So, what motivates him to advance?

M. Laitman: Again?

Student: The medium that is between fear and love – right and the middle. What from these two forces motivates him to move toward the Creator?

M. Laitman: I don't understand the question; why in the intermediate state?

Student: When he's, precisely, in the middle, in the medium between fear and love, he's in neither or he's in both? What motivates him when he's in that state, love or fear, what is his motivation?

M. Laitman: Probably love.

Student: Is it the state of absolute choice? It sounds like it's neither here nor there, to be between them.

M. Laitman: That's right.

Student: So, what do you do in that state, in a vacuum, you look down into the abyss. What makes you choose one over the other?

M. Laitman: To the extent that it will be more desirable in the eyes of the Creator, that's always the answer.

Student: You will always choose love?

M. Laitman: As much as one can respond to it.

Question (Beer Sheva): (42:26) Fear, love, concealment, double-concealment, all these states are the clothing of the Sefirot inside of a person that connects them – Gevura to Hesed, etc.?

M. Laitman: These are the states that a person feels within himself gradually, and that's how he comes closer to being in direct contact, face-to-face, with the Creator.

Student: These changes are a result of what?

M. Laitman: The light that shines on him, more and more.

Student: It's the exposure of man to the upper light, the Sefirot, that are revealed in him and then he can feel the changes?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (PT17): (43:41) Is concealment within concealment, when he corrects that, he also corrects his attitude to what went over him in the first concealment?

M. Laitman: In single concealment, certainly, yes.

Student: So, that's the difference between a wicked and an incomplete righteous?

M. Laitman: Yes, this is where it appears.

Question (Unity 2): (44:28) How to reach the complete study of the Torah when you feel you are limited, both in your intellect and in your possibilities?

M. Laitman: it is not possible for the person to be limited; he is limited, specifically, in what he has to discover and grow within him. Therefore, no hurdles are being put on his way. Rather, the obstacles that he discovers in his path of development are those that actually raise him, that lead him to the right revelation, and ultimately to getting close to the Creator and equivalence of form with the Creator.

Reader: (45:45) What does it mean to love the Creator?

M. Laitman: To love the Creator means, when you need to connect with all of creation, when you wrap yourself in it and then to feel to what extent you are in contact with the Creator, you clothe in Him. And, from that, you feel the connection between you as love. Well, we have more precise definitions in the text. For now, for the time being. Let's continue to read.

Reading: (48:00) Item 63

This thoroughly explains the first degree of attainment of the revelation of the face, the attainment and the sensation of a guidance of reward and punishment in a way that He who knows the mysteries will testify that he will not return to folly. This is called “repentance from fear,” when his sins become for him as mistakes. This is also called “incomplete righteous” and “medium.”

M. Laitman: Questions? Only one question from the Internet.

Question (PT 9): (48:58) What's the difference between repentance from fear and repentance from love?

M. Laitman: We'll see it!

Question (Turkey 7): (49:11) If I see the state as punishment, does it prevent the correction from me?

M. Laitman: On the contrary, no, one who feels the attitude of the Creator toward him as punishment to him, it actually shows that the Creator is not far from him.

Question (MAK 4): (49:47) What are the criteria for truly justifying the Creator?

M. Laitman: Again?

Student: What are the criteria for truly justifying the Creator?

M. Laitman: According to what we see in this Introduction, all the criteria we see here are all right to come to us, they come to us justly. And that's why when we climb the degrees, we seemingly justify the Creator, more and more. And our criteria become more and more just. That's what's happening to us.

Re- Reading: (51:27) Item 63

This thoroughly explains the first degree of attainment of the revelation of the face, the attainment and the sensation of a guidance of reward and punishment in a way that He who knows the mysteries will testify that he will not return to folly. This is called “repentance from fear,” when his sins become for him as mistakes. This is also called “incomplete righteous” and “medium.”

M. Laitman: But together with that, yes, it's clear that he won't be able to return to his folly. He doesn't have the ability to again make mistakes, to fall, because all the details of creation have been revealed to him.

Reader: (52:45) What does it mean to attain and feel that there's a guidance of reward and punishment?

M. Laitman: It's simple, you are in the system and this system works on you, through all your entrances and exits, and you see how it works. All these actions, they pass through you, and that's why you have nothing more to want. Nothing is lacking in order to justify completely the action of the upper one, of the Emanator.

Reader: What does it mean that he attains that there is a guidance of reward and a guidance of punishment?

M. Laitman: Well, that's on the way to acquiring the complete connection that he needs to have with the system. So, we have, here, actions that bring us to reward or to punishment, and we learn those actions in the system. How ideal, I would say it is.

Reader: An action that leads me to punishment is defined as a transgression. My transgression leads to punishment from the system?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Reader: Mitzvah brings reward to me from the system?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Reader: So, how would you define transgression, what's a transgression?

M. Laitman: Transgression is when I connect to the system incorrectly, and then it doesn't work on me to straighten me, to represent it correctly in it. Rather it shows me, it shows me how much I am incapable of attaining its inner content.

Reader: Transgression is that I connect to the system, incorrectly; what does it mean, incorrectly?

M. Laitman: I can't activate it to the next degree from this point on. I'll need to make a correction of my mistakes and then activate the system.

Reader: In this transgression, there is a transgression that I do, that I do, maliciously, and one that I do by mistake?

M. Laitman: Yes, because we just need to feel the system, to reveal it so it would be entirely worthy of use. It's what I attain through this work with the system is a complete world, and most of all I attain in it the thought of creation. How did the Creator arrange everything, all the details of creation in order to do good to His creatures? And He needed to prepare, instead of creation, such deficiencies and advancement through feeling, through Providence, through connection to the system and to the Creator. So that all of it will be revealed toward me, relative to me, as necessary things. I have no words to say it, we will read.

Reader: What is Mitzvah?

M. Laitman: A Mitzvah, a commandment, means an action that comes to the created being and he sees an obligation to observe it, to do it.

Reader: Why?

M. Laitman: That is the will of the Creator.

Question (PT 27): (59:32) How does a person or a Ten work correctly with reward and punishment? We each time interpret reward and punishment in a way that is still egoistic to some extent. How to correctly interpret reward and punishment to see the actions of the Creator through that.

M. Laitman: We spoke about it ten minutes ago – how to work correctly in reward and punishment, that I want such actions called reward and punishment to be revealed completely. All of them completely will be revealed on each one and on everyone together. And then I can open up the system, the system of connection with my connection with the Creator.

Student: But when the Creator sends all kinds of states that, to a person, seem like a punishment in that moment, how can he see it, otherwise? How can he see it as the Creator or how the Creator would like him to see it?

M. Laitman: We can, gradually, digest and come closer and take it upon ourselves on the condition that this reward and punishment will be accepted by us as necessary, essential things. So, I will never want more reward and punishment, rather that both will combine into one connection with the Creator. Try it, try it, you will come to it and see what I couldn't articulate with these words.

Question (Tel Aviv 3) (01:02:37) Why when a person attains the providence of reward and punishment, why doesn't it correct the mistakes? He says the transgressions became as mistakes.

M. Laitman: Yes, and he corrects the mistakes, later?

Student: It seems like a person left his evil, he also calls it repentance from fear. So, what are the mistakes?

M. Laitman: No, the fact that it is a mistake, it doesn't mean it's corrected, yet.

Student: What are his mistakes, in that state, that he discovered the bad and doesn't touch the bad?

M. Laitman: This is already, when he didn't correct it. it's a mistake.

Student: That he doesn't attain the final state, and then, it lends to love?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Turkey 10): (01:04:03) What does it mean to dress into the Creator?

M. Laitman: Dressing to the Creator means to feel the system of connection between a person and the Creator. How much can a person bestow to the system of connections, to bring it to the complete connection and revelation.

Question (Women PT 23): (01:04:44) How to know what will be more liked by the Creator?

M. Laitman: We discover that according to our work, and when we approach the Creator, nevertheless, and we demand from Him, more and more help, revelation of details. Until, how should I put it, we are capable of seeing ourselves belonging to correction.

Question (KabU 9): (01:05:58) What is reward and punishment?

M. Laitman: Our reward is that we can bring about the correction of creation, by that we raise the Creator high above everyone, above all the parts of creation.

Reader: And punishment?

M. Laitman: And punishment is when we are unable, we can't see, we can't feel, we can't apply this.

Question (Heb 2): (01:06:55) Is there a difference between agreeing with the Creator and justifying the Creator?

M. Laitman: To agree is merely an agreement but to justify the Creator is an active action the created being does in order to put the Creator in control.

Question (PT 6): (01:07:27) What is, basically, hidden from the person?

M. Laitman: What's hidden from a person is that he becomes a godly part from above, that's what's concealed. From this concealment, you get all of the correction.

Question (Turkey 2): (01:08:08) What qualities help a person reach love, or increase the love, what qualities?

M. Laitman: The qualities that increase the love, the desire to love, the strengthening of the love, to grow the love. These qualities, we need to reveal those and to want to activate them. And to want to activate them, to reveal them, and to want to activate them between us—specifically during the times of concealment. Our entire work is to reveal the concealment and to cover it with forces of love. And then we'll see how between concealment and love, we feel creation from minus to plus and all the qualities in between.

Question (Moscow 1): (01:10:25) We dress in the Creator but we need to feel the Creator dresses in us.

M. Laitman: Yes, it was always this way.

Student: Why don’t we see it?

M. Laitman: Because we don’t reveal it, we are not capable, so what can you do?

Question (PT 32): (01:10:51) Does a person need to feel that he goes through a process where he gradually, more and more, agrees with the Creator's plan?

M. Laitman: Yes, certainly.

Student: And what helps him better agree with the Creator's plan?

M. Laitman: What helps him is that behind every correct action, he sees himself climbing the ladder, and he's starting to see creation from a higher degree. And then he has the ability, the possibility, more and more to justify the Creator – hold Him higher, to encourage Him. And he sees creation as something that he comes to in order to justify and elevate. In order to place the Creator above his own head.

Student: There are points or states where a person, let's say, can't justify that the action he's going through, whatever happens to him now, is part of the Creator's plan. So, what is the inner change he needs to ask for in order to see that it is part of the Creator's plan?

M. Laitman: I don't know, I think that everything we're, anywhere we read, what Baal HaSulam read in the study of the Ten Sefirot and The Preface. All of that is in order to open up for us a drawing, a system of creation, where we can climb, and that is our work. By that, through that, we grow up, mature, we change, we adapt ourselves to the system. We become entirely. We become connected through thousands through thousands of connections from our soul to the system.

Student: When is it considered that a person participates in the Creator's plan.

M. Laitman: When he yearns to be connected with the Creator, in each and every state.

Student: If I don't feel that I'm yearning to be connected to the Creator but I know which actions I need to do that are part of implementing the plan of creation. I know we've been studying it for years but I'm not yearning to do that from my heart. So, by that, am I also taking part of implementing the purpose of creation?

M. Laitman: Yes, you are in the implementation of the purpose of creation, regardless of whether you think you're part of it or not. Our connections to our actions, or by our actions, are actions which could be very distant from our revelation. And yet, we discover them, walk through them, and reach the goal. All right.

Question (Hadera 1): (01:16:28) He writes that a person can’t be a complete righteous because he didn't correct his past. How can you correct your past if there is no lacking in spirituality? Whatever happened, happened, how can I correct it? It will always be there?

M. Laitman: There's no lack, or deficiency, in spirituality; you can say that about many different actions. How could it be that we can switch from one action to a second to a third, and so on, if there's no lack in spirituality? This condition immediately makes you fall, you can't, it trips you over and you can't move from state to state.

Student: I can be corrected now in the present, I can do all kinds of actions to correct myself in the present towards the future. But what was there in the past? How can I correct that? But from now on, I?

M. Laitman: But in spirituality, there's no time, there's no space and the order that we find, see, discover, exists only with relation to us. Therefore, in the spiritual world, when we begin to feel it the way it truly is, whole and perfect, then there's no lack.

Student: So, the moment I chose life, I finished all my corrections?

M. Laitman: Well, you need to go over all these corrections. You need to reach a state where what you feel in creation, or rather what you want to discover in creation, all that is right in front of you.

Question (PT 13): (01:18:58) We read that providence appears in two ways, revelation or concealment. And each one of them has a concealment in the concealment and two types of revelation. But my question is about this term called repentance. What, there's like motion, this transition, this repentance. How can we define it in the correction?

M. Laitman: What is the difficulty, here, I don't understand. What does he want to say: That we, all of us, have opportunities, we can be in many different places within the will to receive in order to receive, and the will to receive in order to bestow. And to connect from this side to that side, from side to side. And by that, we can come to understand creation, to feel it, and that's how our advancement works.

Student: It's as if the transition between the states are very defined, there is concealment and revelation. But the concept of repentance, what does it include inside it?

M. Laitman: Repentance, it includes within it all the light which could ever appear to us, on us, all of us together and each one individually. And all the outcomes of the action of that light, that is repentance. Also, in Hebrew the same word for answer, Teshuva.

Student: How to understand, correctly, a desire for correction? I want to change the state I'm in, the lack of the feeling of the Creator. Or how to understand what repentance from fear, repentance from love is?

M. Laitman: I cannot explain that, it would seem to me impossible to explain, only from the act, itself; but we're getting closer to that.

Question (PT 6): (01:22:50) Righteous is one person or is the righteous the whole Ten?

M. Laitman: We measure the individual as being part of a Ten and with respect to how he relates to the Creator. So, with that we actually need to take into account the whole of creation, with the person, with the Ten, with the Creator. And we need to organize them, arrange them in such a way, where the person, through different conditions, his internal and external conditions, may come to a stage where he can be called Righteous?

Question (Women Turkey 8): (01:23:59) What are the conditions that will make us do actions of bestowal in our current state?

Question repeated: What are the conditions that will obligate us to perform or to do actions of bestowal in our current state? What can obligate us?

M. Laitman: I believe the greatness of the Creator, nothing else besides that. Therefore, we need to engage in that before each and every action we take. The greatness of the Creator, the importance of the Creator will elevate us above all obstructions, problems.

Question (PT 29): (01:25:36) If a person is under the providence of reward and punishment, he feels it already. So, what makes him rise even higher than reward and punishment?

M. Laitman: He wants to reach a degree of eternal love. Reward and punishment, in that he always calculates – in this direction, in that. But we want to rise to the same qualities in which the Creator Himself is found in all His glory.

Question (Moscow 1) (01:26:31) When I look at the world with my external eyes or internal eyes, I hear like a chaos of different voices and different forces, as if I turned on a hundred channels on TV at the same time. How can a person make it into a dialogue with only one Creator?

M. Laitman: I think that according to the solutions for the problems we face, answering the questions we face. We invite more of the light which solves those problems for us. And so, it turns out that we exist opposite that light and it organizes us, it makes of us the right shape, the required shape, the proper Ten. And in such a way, we advance.

Question (Moscow 4): (01:28:19) I loved the friend’s question from before, that he said, the more chaos there is – the more pressure – in this way, my task is not to try and solve it as a solution but again to ask the Creator, how to say it, to come close, and by that change.

M. Laitman: All of our work can be summarized as us wanting to be close to the Creator, attached to Him, adhered to Him, and that's it. Because in any other case, any other action, any other action will never be whole, will never be aimed towards the goal, other than one action. The one that brings us to adhesion with the Creator, and that's what we must think about, and it's the easiest thing. We simply don't need to interrupt His concern for us, His care for us.

Student: Next to me there's Ten friends in the lesson, and from my heart I want to say, guys, come on, together, let's break through. So, what, to say it out loud, to say I love you, let's go together? Or to just be in a quiet prayer?

M. Laitman: Both, it depends on what level, what state each one is in at any given moment.

Question (Tel Aviv 1): (01:30:42) What needs to change to go from the third phase of providence of reward and punishment to go to the fourth degree? What should change or be added?

M. Laitman: The light, the reforming light, needs to work to connect us together, to organize us and to build of us a completed Ten, properly bonded. That's all the work of the light.

Student: Why, in that state, are the reward and punishment not relevant anymore?

M. Laitman: Why is it irrelevant?

Student: In the fourth stage, if I understood correctly, so there's no way to the reward of punishment. So, what state takes it out of the equation?

M. Laitman: I don't know what to tell you, we've never worked on such heights before. And so, to talk about it theoretically… let's hope that soon we will pass through all these stages.

Question (Women Haifa 11) (01:32:39) How to increase the greatness of the Creator every time?

M. Laitman: How?

Student: How to increase the greatness of the Creator every time?

M. Laitman: That's through the friends.

Student: How to help each other?

M. Laitman: Through mutual bestowal of mutual influence in the Ten. By that, you can bring each one of the Ten to a state where he or she will want to discover the greatness of the Creator and utilize it correctly. That, in essence, is the purpose of our work.

Question (PT 23): (01:33:52) Repentance from fear and repentance from love. What does repentance mean in Hebrew, it’s answer?

M. Laitman: Again, please?

Reader: I'll repeat. Repentance from fear and repentance from love. What does the word repentance in Hebrew, answer, mean?

M. Laitman: Repentance also answer and also return—all the words in Hebrew. It means returning to the Creator, very simple. It comes from the letter Hey will return to the letter Vav—Malchut to the Zeir Anpin, that's why it's called, Teshuva.

Student: Is repentance from fear a result of a few actions?

M. Laitman: I didn't quite get it, again?

Student: Is repentance from fear a result of my actions?

M. Laitman: No, no, not just that, there are all sorts of ways to it.

Question (Women Moscow 5): (01:35:22) I wrote for myself: Think how not to disturb His concern for us. How can we disturb Him to be concerned about us? What are we not doing right?

M. Laitman: Perhaps with our incorrect requests.

Student: How can we scrutinize those requests? From the descent we need to reach a right prayer. In what should we be in fear in order to not disturb Him?

M. Laitman: We need to constantly yearn to become as close as possible to each other by our actions, to help each other as much as possible. And as much as we can, to imagine, to see, how we're in a never-ending connection with each other. And by the quality of that connection, through it, we'll be able to discover the Creator. And the discovery of the Creator, the revelation of the Creator, is our greatest mission. And that's what the whole world lacks.

Student: This revelation of the Creator, we don't want to be filled with it egoistically. We're discovering it so He will enjoy. How in this prayer can we hold contentment to the Creator in there?

M. Laitman: We discover the Creator, rather we reveal the Creator, ultimately to the whole world. And by that, we give Him maximal pleasure because His quality, the Good Who Does Good, is revealed to everyone. To the righteous, to the wicked. And everything comes to complete, perfect fulfillment of the global Kli with the light of the Creator.

Question (Women Moscow 6): (01:38:14) Towards my future actions, do I restrict my desires or ask for the right intention? And on corrections from my past, how do I work? Do I need to raise them inside me in some way so they'll be under the light of the Creator? Or is it enough to make corrections today and the past will be corrected?

M. Laitman: The past will be included into today's corrections.

Student: If I correct the quality, it goes back on the past, too?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Women Latin 25): (01:39:08)To be rewarded in revelation of face of the Creator, is it just like that or is there another meaning for it? Is it simple like it sounds?

M. Laitman: Being awarded with the revelation of the Creator?

Reader: Revelation of face.

M. Laitman: The revelation of the face, no this, it's not simple. There are degrees to it and these degrees we need to add, one to the next. Until through these degrees we reach the revelation of the Creator within us so that the lights and the vessel will be completely equal and indistinguishable from each other. Those are the final states of correction, that's it, we'll come closer to that and we'll see how suddenly it becomes more relevant for us. And we will rotate ourselves from state to state, from side to side until that perfection is revealed. Alright, we have no more questions? What else do we have?

Reader: (01:41:04) Our next part are Selected Excerpts of the Rosh Hashanah, the Hebrew New Year.
