Part 2: ​​Rosh HaShana - Selected Excerpts from the Sources. You Have Made Me. #4

Reader: Selected excerpts on the topic of Rosh Hashanah. We're continuing from excerpt number four. The study material appears on kabbalahgroup.info and the Arvut system. You can also ask questions. Anyone who is asking a question in the study hall, you're asked to stand up, hold the mic close to your mouth and speak loudly and clearly. Excerpt number four, in the subheading, “You Have Made Me”.

Reading: (00:35) Twice

You Have Made Me. 4. RABASH, Article No. 940, “The Point in the Heart”.

When the Temple was ruined, it is written, “And let them make Me a Temple and I will dwell within them.” This pertains to the point in the heart, which should be a Temple where the light of the Creator dwells, as it is written, “And I will dwell within them.” Hence, one should try to build his structure of Kedusha [holiness], and the structure should be able to contain the upper abundance called “abundance poured from the Giver to the receiver.” However, according to the rule, there must be equivalence of form between the Giver and the receiver so the receiver, too, must have the aim to bestow like the Giver.

This is called “action,” as it is written, “Let them make Me a Temple,” where the acting applies to the Kli [vessel] and not the light, since the light pertains to the Creator and only the action pertains to the created beings.

M. Laitman: Any questions? 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (03:59) It was written that a person needs to try to build his holy temple. How do we build that? 

M. Laitman: We learn that in the beginning everything was organized, then there was a restriction, then there was a shattering. Parts of creation were revealed called humans, the sons of Adam, and they have to reconnect the parts of creation that will be connected as one man with one heart. And in this way the temple can be built. Questions? That's why it starts here, that when the temple was ruined, it was written, And let me make a temple, and I will dwell within them. But it wasn't an obligation to build the temple before it was shattered. Questions?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (26:04) In this construction there are several stages, and it really begins from what I first absorb from the environment. Before that I have no idea how to begin. How do I know my nature, which is suitable to work with? 

M. Laitman: You don't know. You don't know, but what's your question? 

Student: The beginning of the construction, the first foundations, I know that I absorb them from the environment.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: I cannot absorb them from any other place.

M. Laitman: Correct.

Student: So, I need to start performing those actions when there is a desire. 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What now? 

M. Laitman: That desire came from the shattering. As it's written, when the temple was ruined, it is written, “And let them make me a temple, and I will dwell within them”. So... 

Student: So, the desire comes from the shattering, and the desire points to many things, to everything, to the readiness, meaning there is constancy, prayers? And there are also the friends? And then there is the Kli, there is you, and all the Kabbalists who are aiming at the person. Today, I feel that in order to build that, everything I need is to act how they tell me to, from above, from those lights, meaning the light enters a corrected Kli, but around that is the surrounding light, which gives the direction. I did not know how to do that. 

M. Laitman: Pray. Pray to the Creator to give you a mind, and feeling, and forces, and all kinds of personal discernment so you'll be able to connect them and see how you reach the building of the Temple. 

Student: Thank you Rav, Happy Holiday. 

M. Laitman: Happy Holiday. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (08:44) He writes here, the called action to build. What does it mean that a created being does, that he acts?

M. Laitman: Does? I don't know, but I guess a created being has forces that with them, he can do. Do something that will reveal the building of the temple. That's it. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (09:29) It's Rosh Hashanah, a new year. What do we need to renew in our work? 

M. Laitman: We need to renew our desire from the shattering, from all those shattered states to see which one of them we need, which parts, intentions, desires, to turn them around, to receive them, to gather them, and then we will have sufficient materials to build the Temple from.

Student: So there's always this question that awakens, what do we lack now? It always surfaces. 

M. Laitman: Yes, we need to reach a state of what we're lacking in order to build the building of the Temple.

Student: Last question, when you wish someone a Happy New Year, what do you intend?

M. Laitman: I intend that that person will know what he's lacking personally in order to participate in the building of the Temple. More than that you don't need.

Student: So what's considered good in that? 

M. Laitman: Good that we can reveal our common vessel and in it the Creator can dwell. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (11:56) If we need to explain to foreign people what is a holy Temple and how do we build that?

M. Laitman: We need to explain to everyone what the Temple is, that we're living in a special period where we all have to rebuild it. That's the main thing we need to do. We need to cause the resurrection of the Temple.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (13:05) How do I scrutinize this question? What do I lack personally in order to participate in the building of the Temple?

M. Laitman: I think that personally, you're not lacking anything but support from your friends. And then, very quickly you can ascend to that level of the building of the Temple.

Student: I personally do not feel that I lack support from the friends.

M. Laitman: That's not a good sign. What do you think you're lacking? 

Student: I do not know, but in the matter of support, I feel that they give me all the support that I could ever ask them for. So how do I know what I personally lack? 

M. Laitman: You personally are lacking support. Lacking support from everybody.

Student: What do I need to do in order to receive that support? 

M. Laitman: Be close to everyone. You're very special. You are very outstanding in our society, and you definitely have qualities that can help connect everyone.

Student: How do I take what you're telling me now and work with that correctly because that fills me and compliments me? What you're telling me now, I want to work with that.

M. Laitman: The Creator gave you good qualities for correction. A good heart, and He's escorting you on the path by doing this. That's why you just have to keep going.You're okay.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (16:43) I wanted to ask about this period we are in, and also in relation to what you said yesterday in the meal about this Holiday. We say that we want to break through into spirituality.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: That breakthrough into spirituality, does it have conditions? 

M. Laitman: Of course.

Student: What are those conditions?

M. Laitman: A common desire.

Student: What is a common desire? 

M. Laitman: A common desire that we want to break through into spirituality even though the Creator supposedly isn't really helping us.

Student: So from where do we get desire if the Creator doesn't help us? 

M. Laitman: From between us.

Student: How do we build a desire, a common desire to break through into spirituality? 

M. Laitman: From incorporating. Man will help his friend.

Student: Yesterday also in the meal you said that around every Ten there needs to be a certain organization where there are other people. So how do you see the upcoming year for each and every Ten?

M. Laitman: I think this year we will feel as much as we need unity between us, as much as we need to adapt all the connections between us and to really become one man with one heart. We'll feel all those hearts as one heart and in this way we can reach, we can reach revelation.

Student: But what should we emphasize in order to have that come out in practice? 

M. Laitman: What do we emphasize? To have a right correct connection that is suitable for correcting the connections between us? I can't tell you. It's like the same deficiencies we feel from day to day we need to connect them more and more, and to see the connection between us, that in it, it has to happen, the correction.

Student: So when we break through into spirituality, who breaks through? Each and every one individually, or the Ten breaks through?

M. Laitman: Everyone. Everyone feels it, yes. 

Student: What, all at the same time, everyone enters spirituality?

M. Laitman: More or less, it's like a war. 

Student: What exactly is the war for? When we break through, what are we battling? 

M. Laitman: We're battling for the need to conquer the Malchut of the heavens and to devote ourselves to her.

Student: And what does it mean that we have won the war?

M. Laitman: I don't know how to say it. Victory is when the states when we're connected will give us fulfillment, a whole fulfillment. A whole fulfillment. And look what a big Kli, a big vessel we have around the world. People sitting around the world, men, women and everyone just wants to be together and we want to be with them. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (22:01) What does it mean? Yes, what does it mean? To continue, a breakthrough into spirituality, what is that? Is that the first contact with the upper force? 

M. Laitman: It's contact with all the friends, and through them contact with the upper force. 

Student: What is contact with the upper force? What does it mean? What changes in us? 

M. Laitman: That the Creator shines in our common vessel, and holds us, and raises us above Himself. 

Student: And this year, Bnei Baruch is worthy of contact with the upper force? 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Why? Why do we deserve such a state? 

M. Laitman: Why do we deserve it? We'll know later on. But, it's clear that we deserve it from performing corrections we suffered enough. 

Student: Is it because we have suffered enough, or because the generation is suffering?

M. Laitman: The entire generation, obviously not just us. 

Student: How is that contact with the upper force, how does that urge us, necessitate us?

M. Laitman: It obligates us by now I'll help his friend. In that, we still aren't fulfilling the upper one’s desire.

Student: With our mutual support for each other?

M. Laitman: Yes. 

Student: You're speaking about in the Ten, each and every friend to the friends?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Or in the generality of Bnei Baruch?  

M. Laitman: In general, and in the Tens, and in all the incorporations. 

Student: Where does this mutual help come from? Each shall help his friend? 

M. Laitman: That I am willing to be between each and every friend in his task, in his duty. 

Student: I would like to return to what you said yesterday at the meal. You said that they asked you what your vision is for the coming year, in the Tens, and you said that each and every Ten will turn into being a big organization. That each Ten will have a big field, a great strength, force, men, women, that there will be room to develop. What is that depiction that you see before you of these Tens that develop?

M. Laitman: When they start feeling all corners of Creation. All the Tens. And that they are willing to be in cooperation with everyone just in order to come closer to the correction. 

Student: Do you see the face of society itself change? Bnei Baruch, would it acquire a different form with this contact with the upper force in the upcoming year? 

M. Laitman: Yes, but not exactly the way we think. I see in the upcoming year, as it's written, from this Yom Kippur to the next we will discover our true structure, our powers. The main thing is our heart, one heart for all.

Student: Are you pointing out our weakness right now? Which is a lack of mutual support? 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: That is a place where we are weak right now?

M. Laitman: Yes. It’s already been a few months that I’m speaking about it, but in between the words.

Student: Ok, now it’s very direct and sharp the way you are pointing that out. So, what should we do? How do we reach a state where I’m ready to give my soul, I’m ready to replace him?

M. Laitman: I don't know, I don't know what we can do here. Just that each and everyone will want this, that this connection will be revealed 

Student: I feel that between the friends there are many small calculations, and it’s very hard to rise above them. That they’re really stuck in these small calculations. How despite that, how do we rise above that?

M. Laitman: That’s impossible. Only with a long constant effort. That’s how we need to do it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (27:53) Earlier you answered the friend a very direct and sharp answer and it turns out that i’m in her Ten and I personally, I don't know if that's a blow to my ego, because the friend really is unique. She really is light to the Ten. For me, for a long time, she was my pillar, and she would always bring me out of descents. How can I personally, and each and every one in our Ten be supportive for her really from the heart? 

M. Laitman: You need to be more connected between you to overcome all those private calculations. I think by that, everything will close off. You have a lot of experience, and good experience, and connections, and directions and everything. You're okay. 

Student: Last year on Yom Kippur, we actually spoke about that last week when we were here together. Four friends, women from the Ten and our friend asked, what's lacking and you told her, you told her to ask all of us. And she asked each and every one of us and said that there lacks love. And then we asked her if it's lacking, and you said, no, that there's a lot of love, but we want more. We're coming towards the upcoming Yom Kippur. How? I feel that we've become filled with love in the last year. 

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Really. Also, two women in our Ten really filled us with love. What else can we add so that each and every one will feel that support? 

M. Laitman: Open your hearts. Each one to everyone else.

Student: Should the friend and everyone in the Ten, should they all open their hearts? 

M. Laitman: Yes. Yes. 

Student: How can we help her? 

M. Laitman: Not her, everybody.

Student: How can we help everyone open hearts together? 

M. Latiman: Open your heart and from that everyone will feel that you need to do it. Okay. Guys, I am drenched. If you feel that this is an easy, pleasant conversation, so for me, it's the most difficult than all TES or an article. So, when are we here, reader? 

Reader: We're here until 8:00.

Reader: Rav, we can now go to a social time to summarize and discuss among each other everything we've received.

M. Laitman: So try that, thank you.
