Part 2: Baal HaSulam. The Freedom (Freedom of the Individual).

Reader: Let's go to the next part of the lesson. We are reading in the writings of Baal HaSulam, the Freedom article subtitled Freedom of the Individual.

Reading Subtitle: (0:11) The Freedom of the Individual.

Now we have come to a thorough and accurate understanding of the freedom of the individual. However, this relates only to the first factor, the source, which is the first substance of every person, meaning all the characteristics we inherit from our fathers and our forefathers and by which we differ from each other.

This is because even when thousands of people share the same environment in such a way that the other three factors affect all of them equally, you will still not find two people who share even one attribute. This is because each of them has his or her own unique source. This is like the source of the wheat: Although it changes a great deal by the three latter factors, it still retains the preliminary shape of wheat and will never take on the form of another species.

Question (Kiev 1): (02:06) I wanted to ask about that example with the wheat that rots in the ground. What lesson do we need to learn from our work in the Ten? 

M. Laitman: He teaches us that everything in a person changes except for one parameter that does not change, which is his center, his basis, his foundation. That's why we can change all that is possible within us and to be from very bad to very good, from death to life, all of that depends on us. And in our parameters, all the rest remains in us unchanged. Our initial sources, meaning the records, the initial matters of ours.

Student: We also need to exchange our form to rot and only leave the previous records. 

M. Laitman: That's what we're doing in the connection between us and with all of humanity. 

Student: So, what needs to happen with us, with our Ten and the world group? What does it mean that will rot like the wheat? 

M. Laitman: When you want to kill the egoism inside of you, then under your pressure, under your request from the Creator, you will rot and what will remain of it is only its source, the embryonic matter in it, and everything else, the connection, the mutual bestowal and you'll become a different kind of person, meaning you will make roots in another world.

Student: All the events that are taking place today, do they somehow push us to this? 

M. Laitman: Of course, of course, all these things push us to being able to be present and knowing that we can't grow only under egoistic forces, and we need additional forces of development. 

M. Laitman: Yes, Gilad, we only have about 10 minutes, yes? 

Reader: Yes, should I keep going? 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Reading Subtitle: (05:48) The General Shape of the Progenitor is Never Lost.

So it is that each “source” that had taken off the preliminary shape of the progenitor and had taken on a new shape as a result of the three factors that were added to it, and which change it significantly, the general shape of the progenitor still remains, and will never assume the shape of another person who resembles him, just as oat will never resemble wheat.

This is so because each and every source has its own long sequence of generations comprised of several hundred generations, and the source includes the conceptions of them all. However, they are not revealed in it in the same ways they appeared in the ancestors, that is, in the form of ideas, but only as abstract forms. Therefore, they exist in him in the form of abstract forces called “tendencies,” “nature,” and “instincts,” without knowing their reason or why he does what he does. Thus, there can never be two people with the same attribute.

Question (Women Heb 1): (07:56) Can we ask about something we read yesterday in the freedom article?

M. Laitman: No, that was yesterday, who remembers.

Question (Women PT 10): (08:11) There aren't two people who are the same? 

M. Laitman: I don't hear anything, I don't understand. Well, repeat yourself. 

Student: it's written that there are no two people that resemble one another. 

M. Laitman: Yes, two people cannot resemble one another. 

Student: In the Ten the Creator gathers people who don't resemble each other. How to use these forces to incorporate in one another and aim it towards the Creator?

M. Laitman: I don't understand what you're saying. You need to fix your microphone. 

Student: I can repeat if you want. 

M. Laitman: Look how beautiful her microphone works. 

Student: She's saying that in the Ten the Creator gathers people that are different from one another. It’s hard to take advantage of the difference in order to incorporate in one another and aim it to the Creator?

M. Laitman: This is through us connecting even though each of us is different from the other and then through the connection we attained something that was not in anyone and now we're finding something new.

Student: If We could say that If I don't want to incorporate friends that are different than me, it means that I agree with my ego and follow it.

M. Laitman: I didn't understand seriously what you're saying. I don't understand you. Okay, we'll engage in that as well.

Question (Almaty 1): (10:34) I'd like to ask from the Creator what kind of reality and I remember how a long time ago he brought me to a wall and demanded that I ask a question. How can I, what question would I like the nation to ask for the Creator to answer and what should I do not to go out to the nation but from inside I can awaken?

M. Laitman: We will succeed in this only if we raise our prayer to the Creator. 

Student: What prayer, what do I want. 

M. Laitman: We need to scrutinize it so that your prayer will be so shared that you will raise it to the Creator and in such a way we will be able to truly beg before him and convince him that we want to desire our desires. I don't know. That's what we have to attain. You're asking about the same thing. With what do we turn to the Creator? What do we need to discover from Him? With what is necessary to us? It's necessary, not just in words but rather truly in a form of a request that we must.

Question (Moscow 1): (12:21) It turns out that you don't have to rot in the ground in order to incorporate with the world.

M. Laitman: To separate means that I'm dividing myself. I'm breaking apart and connecting with all the people in the world.

Student: But during our life there are thousands of qualities with us. We just need to change the focus from ourselves and start identifying with the vessel of the world. 

M. Laitman: It's not just focus. It's like we have to throw our desire to the world and receive the desires of the world. Then it will be called to break apart.

Student: And until the size of our desire reaches that minimum equalization with the world, we still can't receive from the Creator because there's no vessel?

M. Laitman: As long as I don't absorb all the desires of the world, I won't succeed.

Student: So that minimum equivalence is when my vessel is the size of the world? 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

M. Laitman: Gilad, I want in this to conclude this lesson. I can't anymore. My throat... What do we have today still? 

Reader: (14:07) Okay, Rav. Thank you very much. Thank you for this amazing lesson and important one. We have a schedule for today. Today is Sunday. But before, I want to give it to the friends, please. Can we see them? There's an announcement. Can we see PT 36? Oh, great. 

Student (PT 36): (14:37) Okay. Hello, friends. So, we want to update that continuing Rav's words, that we need to have a meal of gratitude on our state, the whole World Kli, that we can really come out of Egypt together. So today at 6.30, we'll have a meal, a virtual gratitude meal. The Whole World Kli here in the Arvut system will just give a blow of connection between us and will cause the Creator to take us out of Egypt. Whoever wants, Tens from Petah Tikva who wants can come to the center and have a meal here in the study hall. That's it. So today in the evening, we have a virtual meal at 6.30 till 7.30. We'll see you on the Arvut system. 

Reader: (15:38) And we'll end with a song.
