Part 2: Preparation to Convention - Connecting to There Is None Else Besides Him

Lesson 2: Believing that the Creator Is Good and Does Good

Reader: The topic of our lesson is Preparation for the World Kabbalah Convention, connecting to there is None Else Besides Him, May 2025. We are in lesson number two, “Believing that the Creator is Good and Does Good.” Lesson number two, “Believing that the Creator is Good and Does Good,” excerpt number one, Rabash.

Reading: (00:24) 1. RABASH, Article No. 1 (1987), "The Good Who Does Good, to the Bad and to the Good"

We say, “And all believe,” etc., “the Good who does good, to the bad and to the good.” We should understand this in the work, meaning those who want to draw near the Creator, and who regard this as “good,” meaning that this is all that they expect—to be rewarded with Dvekut [adhesion] with the Creator. Therefore, why should we interpret here “to the bad and to the good”? That is, why are they regarded as “bad” if we are speaking of a person who wants to reach the good, which he regards as Dvekut with the Creator? And accordingly, what do we regard as the degree of “good”?

To understand this, we first need to bring in the purpose of creation, which we know is about “doing good to His creations.” Accordingly, it means that when we say, “And all believe,” etc., “the Good who does good,” it means, as our sages said, that “the conduct of the Good is to do good.” And yet, we believe that He does good to the bad and to the good, meaning that the bad, too, will receive the delight and pleasure.

According to the simple meaning, we should say that “bad” are those people who do bad to others, meaning that they are concerned only with their own well-being and not to bestow. “Good” are those people who like to do good to others; these are the people who are called “good.” For this reason, we should interpret “the Good, who does good to the bad and to the good” to mean that bad people, who are immersed in self-love, will also receive delight and pleasure.

According to the rule we learn—that there was a restriction and concealment on the vessels of reception in order to receive, that the light will not shine again in this place and it will remain a space devoid of light, and that restriction is called Tzimtzum Aleph [first restriction], which will never be revoked, but only Tzimtzum Bet [second restriction] will be revoked, but one who receives in order to receive will never receive—so how can “does good to the bad and to the good” be true? After all, they do not have vessels to receive the upper abundance, called “to do good to His creations.”

Baal HaSulam once said that there are two types of Kelim [vessels] in a person: 1) vessels of bestowal, 2) vessels of reception, which Kabbalah calls Kelim de Panim [anterior Kelim], which are vessels of bestowal, and Kelim de Achoraim [posterior vessels], which are vessels of reception. The vessels of bestowal are called “good vessels,” and there are people who can correct themselves only with vessels of bestowal. This means that only with vessels of bestowal can they direct their intention to be in order to bestow, and not more. Others are rewarded with a higher degree, meaning that they can aim in order to bestow with vessels of reception, too.

According to the above, we should interpret the meaning of “Good, who does good to the bad and to the good,” to mean that a person should believe that the Creator gives help from above, as our sages said, “He who comes to purify is aided.” Therefore, when they ask of the Creator to give him the strength to be able to direct his actions to be in order to bestow, to ask for a complete prayer, meaning that the Creator will help him have the power to overcome in order to bestow even over his vessels of reception, too, so they will be in order to bestow, this is called “to the bad,” meaning to the vessels of reception. And “to the good” means vessels of bestowal. Both of them should have the intention for the Creator.

Now we can understand why it can be said of a person who wishes for the Creator to bring him closer to His work, so he can aim his work for the Creator, that they are called “bad.” According to the above, it will mean that those who want the vessels of reception—which are called “bad Kelim”—to also draw near to the Creator, we call them “bad.” It follows that when we speak of bad Kelim that will be corrected in order to bestow it is a higher degree than the “good,” since “good” means that he wants the Creator to give him the power to prevail over them and aim in order to bestow.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (08:19) It’s written, because of it, we should interpret the Good Who Does Good, to the bad and to the good, to mean that bad people too, who are immersed in self love, will also receive delight and pleasure. What does it mean that the bad will receive delight and pleasure too?

M. Laitman: The purpose of creation is to correct all the people and to bring them to the framework of the good ones. That's why everyone needs to repent.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (09:14) I see many people in the world who are harming others. According to the excerpt, it turns out that when I see them, it's actually me detecting my own vessels of reception?

M. Laitman: No, that's something else. We're not talking about the world, but rather we're talking about how we see the world. So, that's already talking about the correction of a person, and how he sees the world, and how he thinks the world needs to advance.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (10:13) He says here that there are vessels of reception and vessels of bestowal in a person.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: What are vessels of bestowal in a person?

M. Laitman: A person is willing to do actions that will be for the benefit of others.

Student: So, when he says that there are vessels of bestowal in a person, it means vessels with which a person is willing to as if, work for the environment, but by that receive his filling, that's what he means?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (11:06) He talks about how we look at the world. We need to see how He looks at the world. What is the Good Who Does Good through my eyes? It’s a joke. How do we begin to make this change?

M. Laitman: We need to think about our correction.

Student: But from His perspective, not from mine. We only need the right relation, and then the intention will come.

M. Laitman: Well, we will learn.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (11:51) What is the reason that a person is given a will to receive for himself? How does that bring a person closer to the Creator?

M. Laitman: A person is given the ability to bring himself closer to bestowal, to understand what bestowal is, to become a little incorporated in this, and then to feel how different it is from behavior with vessels of reception. That's it, that's enough.

Student: So, a person is in an ocean of desires that keep on popping. The desires for thinking about himself, for caring for himself, for receiving for himself. What is the advice? To begin, and specifically from this to come closer to the Creator, to use them, to work with them, so it will be a means?

M. Laitman: A person has the ability to come closer to acts of bestowal and distance himself from acts of reception even though it's contrary to his nature. But if he makes an effort, he can begin to do this. And then to ask from above, from the Creator, for forces; whereas forces of bestowal on his behalf will be more powerful than acts of reception. And that way, until it will invert the vessels of reception to vessels of bestowal.

Student: The effort to move away from vessels of reception, is it through the request, to move away from the actual request and to approach the vessels of bestowal?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Is there something else that can push a person away, help him move away from vessels of reception? And he forgets to ask?

M. Laitman: We only have one ability, which is to ask for a change, for correction. And then the Creator does.

Student: The beginning of the request, does it have to be that the vessels of reception hurt him, pain him?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes. Where really, a person examines himself and sees that his suffering comes from vessels of reception.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (16:17) What should be my relation to the Creator? The Good Who Does Good is a matter of law, of faith? How should I relate to it?

M. Laitman: Our attitude towards the vessels of bestowal needs to be that it's the other half of nature. And that he has to come to a state in which he asks for the Creator, as the Good That Does Good will advance him, also in actions to the Good That Does Good.

Student: He writes here that the higher degrees, when a person asks for his vessels of reception to be in order to bestow, that it's higher from good people. Why is it higher than created beings who already have vessels of bestowal?

M. Laitman: Our substance is the will to receive, and therefore, we need to measure ourselves in comparison with respect to the will to receive. Meaning, there's no way of switching to the vessels of bestowal without us wanting to emerge from under the control of the vessels of reception.

Student: Last question. You tell us, you always tells us, you have to aim for the goal, and our actions are aimed toward the goal, to see the result. My question is, how do we constantly aim ourselves with our intention so that the goal will be before our eyes, so we'll have the request to correct the vessels from reception to bestowal?

M. Laitman: We make use of the influence of the environment on each one of us, and so we learn, and we try to change ourselves, such that the vessels of bestowal will be greater than the vessels of reception. And if we do so, then we'll succeed.

Student: I imagine that throughout the work on the path, the equivalence of form with the Creator is as the Good Who Does Good. To aspire to reach there seems as Good That Does Good.

M. Laitman: Yes, yes that's good.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (20:00) According to the equivalence of form of the created being to the Creator, he can feel the Creator as the Good Who Does Good. So, what does it mean the Good Who Does Good to the bad and to the good, and what is He doing good to the bad?

M. Laitman: By bringing them closer to the truth.

Student: He writes that they're immersed in self love, and they too will receive the good and abundance. It's not clear how desires that are not in equivalence of form… I need to relate to them as if they too will receive the good, and the delight, and the pleasure?

M. Laitman: Due to them switching from the vessels of reception to the vessels of bestowal, then in all these vessels, these new vessels, they begin to feel the influence of the Creator on them, His bestowal. And this is called reaching the good and the delight.

Student: It's my attitude towards such desires that I will, I should perceive them as severance of the Creator, that they remain good or bad, or everything becomes good vessels?

M. Laitman: They pass on to the created beings, whose intention is to bestow.

Student: All the vessels, we need to change them to be aimed at the Creator, so no vessel remains aimed at himself?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (22:29) Is there a difference between the influence of the Creator, or bestowal of the Creator, and bestowal of a created being? Because our substance is the will to receive that cleaves to Him, and He is the absolute bestowal.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So what's the difference between bestowal of the Creator, and the bestowal of a creature?

M. Laitman: We want to receive the correction, and to the extent that our desires to receive invert to in order to bestow, then we'll be able to perform acts of bestowal, like the Creator.

Student: But it will always be like the Creator, it's not going to be a total equation. So, who will we do good to then? Meaning He does good to the created beings, to give them the light at the end. And the created beings, who do we bestow to?

M. Laitman: We bestow upon the Creator, who wants us to be like Him.

Student: It sounds like He has a desire to receive.

M. Laitman: No, why?

Student: Because He wants to be bestowed upon by us, so we will give something in return. Sometimes I try to scrutinize that with myself. He's in absolute rest. Why would He want something from me to bestow to Him? He created the will to receive, He created the bad ones, He wants them to become good through the change, the process, but it's seemingly for Him.

M. Laitman: This is called bestowing contentment upon the Creator. If I perform acts of bestowal and aim them towards Him.

Student: The creature only has to have the intention toward Him, not more.

M. Laitman: What else could there be other than directing our purposes, goals? We cannot do anything.

Student: Meaning He created something diametrically opposite to Him, so in the end I'll have the intentions toward Him, he will be like Him, and it's in order to give Him contentment?

M. Laitman: Yes, that He is made content.

Student: I guess it's good enough reason.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (25:20) I wanted to ask, the Good Who Does Good to the bad and to the good, is it good to the good and He's doing good to the bad? Is that how it works?

M. Laitman: No, I don't know. Ultimately, we need to look at the purpose of the correction. The Creator created all created beings with the will to receive, and He performs actions upon them, corrections, and they feel the changes that they undergo, and they thank the Creator for that.

Student: I'm asking from the point of view, you seemingly need two different forces. In essence, if a person comes through his correction to correct his vessels of reception to bestow, and then he bestows in order to bestow, and then he needs greater vessels, greater forces to approach the vessels of reception and correct them. The gap is big here. So, I'm asking if the Good Who does Good is a matter of two forces for these two stages?

M. Laitman: I would say that the good is what we discover, and the one who does good, that's us discovering the outcome of the Creator's bestowal upon us. That's it.

Student: Meaning in the first and second stages, the one who does good is what we discover?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: That he feels it in the vessels of bestowal?

M. Laitman: The vessels of reception.

Student: The vessels of reception to the bad, the vessels of bestowal to the good?

M. Laitman: The difference between the bad and the good is the measure of the correction that they underwent.

Student: He speaks about the first and second restrictions here. He says the first restriction is never canceled. If I got it right, receive in order to receive, we erase and never use it, we're not ready to use it ever. If we make mistakes, we make mistakes, but as far as we're concerned, we're not willing to use receive in order to receive.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Now, what does it mean that the second restriction is canceled? When is it canceled? It's not canceled completely, only partially, there's a matter of scrutiny and sorting, as we said. When does the second restriction get canceled?

M. Laitman: The first restriction comes to us from the Creator, from the beginning of creation, and the second restriction, Tzimtzum Bet, comes to us as an offshoot of the correction, an act of correction. The created being engages in an act of bestowal, wanting to reach the restriction of his desires to receive, and then to even transition them to in order to bestow.

Student: And there's a matter of the scrutinizing of the desires, the desires in order to bestow and desires that he identifies as below that.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: If he detects a desire below in order to bestow, a courser desire, where does he take the power to work with it? Because he's delighted in mercy, as far as he's concerned, he shouldn't approach desires to receive. So, where does he get the power to do it?

M. Laitman: He receives everything from above.

Student: As a request?

M. Laitman: Yes, as a response to the request.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (31:00) What are vessels?

M. Laitman: Vessels are desires with which the created being operates in order to come closer to the Creator, to bestow upon the Creator.

Student: So, why is he making that division that there are vessels of bestowal? There's only vessels of reception, no?

M. Laitman: The difference between the vessels of reception and the vessels of bestowal is only the change of the intention.

Student: So, vessels of bestowal are simply vessels of reception with an intention to bestow?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So I still have the question, what is a vessel of bestowal in and of itself? Is this good or bestowal?

M. Laitman: The vessels of bestowal unto themselves, they are those who are capable of bestowing.

Student: To receive in order to bestow or just to bestow?

M. Laitman: Both.

Student: So, what is only to bestow?

M. Laitman: That with all of one's actions, he wants to benefit the others, to benefit the Creator, and to provide them with good results, beneficial results. Usually, it's fulfillment, satisfaction.

Student: And in that state has no relationship to the vessels of reception?

M. Laitman: Why not?

Student: Because if he's only in that state called in order to bestow, it's called good. So what about the vessels of reception?

M. Laitman: Then he begins to transition to the vessels of bestowal and to bestow with them.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (33:24) What's the reason that vessels of bestowal will agree to fill vessels of reception that are immersed in self love?

M. Laitman: There's no such thing. We cannot reach a state where the vessels of reception want to bestow like the vessels of bestowal.

Student: But the vessels of reception are immersed in self-love.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: And against that, he develops vessels of bestowal. He's got both.

M. Laitman: And the question is?

Student: For what reason will a person turn to his vessels of reception that are immersed in self love and want to correct them? They're immersed in self love. There's a distance. There's a repulsion between these vessels and those vessels.

M. Laitman: Yes. And the question is, how can a person transition then?

Student: Where does he get the willingness to correct vessels that are immersed self-love? Because there's a repulsion from them.

M. Laitman: He wants to come to resemble the Creator, to be with Him.

Student: What is the willingness to fill everyone correct in a person?

M. Laitman: That both the vessels of bestowal and the vessels of reception will be corrected and thus filled with the upper abundance. And that's how one sees his corrected state.

Student: The willingness to fill everyone is also a type of correction a person has to go through? So he's ready to approach vessels that are in self-love and he fills them?

M. Laitman: No. He doesn't aim for that. He just wants the correction of the vessels that can be in order to bestow.

Student: The last question. In what way can a person fill vessels of reception that are under the first restriction?

M. Laitman: The person is ready to use all of his vessels, just so long as he doesn't transgress on the first restriction.

Student: In what way can he fulfill them?

M. Laitman: In being in order to bestow.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (36:38) How can you approach the correction of vessels of reception in order to bestow?

M. Laitman: You need a force which will be able to separate them from the sum total of the vessels of reception, and then, with the help of the reforming light, to bring them to the form of reception in order to bestow.

Student: In vessels of bestowal in order to bestow, you said that the person can work with them. Here, you say that the reforming light needs to work in them. So, how do we activate the reforming light on the vessels of reception?

M. Laitman: Through prayer.

Student: What is the preceding condition? Can we go right away and ask for the vessels of reception to be corrected?

M. Laitman: You cannot want them to be corrected. In order to reach that, we can advance towards it gradually.

Student: What is this gradual work? What is the step before that where we can reach a state where we want this correction?

M. Laitman: First of all, I don't want to work with the vessels of reception. And then, I recognize, I get closer to the vessels of bestowal in order to bestow. And after that, I can also work with the vessels of reception in order to bestow.

Student: Do we need to complete the correction of all the vessels of bestowal in order to reach…?

M. Laitman: No, that's according to how a person feels it.

Student: So, for every state, I first make a correction of the vessels of bestowal, and then, there's an ability there to enter deeper into the vessels of reception.

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (39:24) We're studying material that the Creator is the Good Who Does Good, lesson number two. Lesson number one is There's None Else Besides Him. What's the connection between these two topics? Are they two attainments, two degrees? Can you have one without the other? How does it work?

M. Laitman: We learn how the Creator, who is the Good Who Does Good, demands of us to be satisfied with the vessels of bestowal. And after we can do that, we will then work with the vessels in order to bestow.

Student: Can you reach attainment without determining that the Creator is Good Who Does Good?

M. Laitman: No.

Student: You can't.

M. Laitman: Because the person needs to correct his closeness to the Creator. So, how can it be that, as part of that, he won't determine towards whom he's advancing and for what cause?

Student: Can you determine that there's None Else Besides Him? The person attains that there's only one force, but he can't say yet that this force is Good Who Does Good, or there's no such thing?

M. Laitman: No.

Student: Meaning the condition for revealing the one force is to justify as Good Who Does Good?

M. Laitman: Yes. We need to come to all the discernment of the bestowal from the Creator towards us as being the Good Who Does Good, and then we’ll also be able to want Him.

Student: Can you say that all the degrees until the end of correction is to constantly determine the Good Who Does Good in each and every state according to the first courseness and the second?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes, because we are of the will to receive. Our nature won't allow us anything else.

Student: How to work with the discernment of the Good Who Does Good in the world, when a person is only in egoistic vessels? There's no way to determine that in those vessels, that He's Good Who Does Good. From advance, you can’t determine that in the vessels of perception, so what is the work? When you send a person these states, you can't determine that the Creator is Good Who Does Good. So what can he do?

M. Laitman: He needs to scrutinize this.

Student: So he has the effort to try to do it. To scrutinize what?

M. Laitman: To scrutinize, to find the Creator to be the Good Who Does Good despite him feeling that he's under the control of different vessels.

Student: Although he feels it's not so, there's a feeling, and you feel that he's not Good Who Does Good. And there's the knowledge that Kabbalists write, that He's Good Who Does Good.

M. Laitman: Then one must change himself and incorporate with the vessels of bestowal.

Student: So, scrutinize the gap and come to a prayer. That's what's demanded?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (44:00) To reach contact with the vessels of bestowal, you said that we need to use the influence of the environment to give us the feeling that the vessels of bestowal will be greater than the vessels of reception. We have to use the influence of the environment so it will give me importance of vessels of bestowal. I want to ask, how do we renew the influence of the environment on me? When I came to Bnei Baruch, I heard what people are talking about here, I said I want to be part of this, I want to follow you, this seems huge. But over the years, the friends, the same thing, everything, talking about the same thing, I see that nothing good is coming out of me, okay, routine. How do we do an action that will renew, revitalize the influence of the environment on me, it will give me the forces to want to bestow anew?

M. Laitman: So, in essence, what do I need to change in order to feel that the whole of reality demands that I come closer to the vessels of reception? No, not so. To come closer…

Student: Maybe from a different angle. I'm married to my wife 30 years. So, the beginning of the path, there were a few years of inspiration, willingness to do everything, but after 30 years, you need to… you feel the routine, there's no energy to work outside of yourself, things get fixed a certain way. Same with the environment. There's a feeling that over the years, the influence of the environment is decreasing instead of increasing. Now that there's a congress, maybe we have an opportunity to restart, like on a computer, to erase everything and renew the excitement of the idea that lives in this environment of bestowal. The question is, how do we do it? How does this restart?

M. Laitman: Restart is all about importance. The importance. So, how do I increase the importance of the vessels of bestowal in comparison with the vessels of reception? That is the question. By what can I increase their importance? Well? It's as if this question, you can see, it's not so close to a solution.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (47:58) How, specifically now, before the congress, the vessels of reception scare us, they demand fulfillment, they scare us, but because of the influence of the environment, we feel that we can fill vessels of bestowal and not the vessels of reception. It creates an inversion, and then we can be attracted to it as a changer, like a new force that appears. So, that's about the matter of the influence of the environment. So what does it mean that the Creator is the Good Who Does Good so that we'll never dwell on the heaviness that the Creator is giving us. It's hard to see Him as the Good Who Does Good.

M. Laitman: This is according to your definition of what is the Good Who Does Good. According to that, you can then look for and find acts, the acts of the Creator which are as such.

Student: If we talk about the perception of reality, ahead of the congress, what can we do to ourselves specifically in our perception of reality?

M. Laitman: It's as we learn, as we learn.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (49:55) It says that the Good Who Does Good. What does that mean?

M. Laitman: That it's the Creator who by nature is good, and it is the way of the good to do good. That's what He does as an outcome of His goodness, as a result.

Student: So, if I would like to resemble Him?

M. Laitman: Yes?

Student: What does that mean to resemble Him?

M. Laitman: To resemble the Creator. That means that you look for the right kind of actions by which you can do good, do good to the created beings, like Him.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (51:13) In other places, we talk about the sorrow of the Shechina, Shechina in exile, all those states. Who feels it? Does it influence the Shechina, is it really in exile?

M. Laitman: The person who attains that state, that's what he feels.

Student: Meaning reality is always good?

M. Laitman: I don't know, that's philosophy already.

Student: From the point of view of the Creator?

M. Laitman: From the Creator's point of view, I don't know. I'm on the side of the created being.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (51:58) Can we go back to the friend's question on how to renew the importance? When a person is in a state where he has a descent in importance, is the only way to cleave to the friends and to see their greatness? Or where will he get importance? Where can a person acquire importance if not from his friends?

M. Laitman: Yes, correct, from the friends.

Student: Because if I'm in the environment, as the frend said, 20 years, 30 years, I'm in an unchanging environment, seemingly. The only thing I can do is to look at them and see them even greater than what I see them right now. So how do I do it? Try to do it, maybe ask the Creator to help me do it. But in the end, there's no other way to raise the importance. Is it correct to say so?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (53:11) He writes that there's a state where he can aim to bestow in vessels of bestowal and not more. What is that state? He can't move to the next level of the correction. And why is that?

M. Laitman: To continue to the next correction? I don't know. I know that a person can make an effort to bestow with his vessels of bestowal.

Student: And when he writes that you can aim only with vessels of reception?

M. Laitman: Yes?

Student: Then what is that state that he writes about? The vessels of bestowal? That there are people who can only aim using the vessels of bestowal and not more. How does that happen? When are the vessels revealed after a person finishes making intentions with vessels of bestowal?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, how come there are people who don't get through this state, if I understand it correctly? They are satisfied in that only?

M. Laitman: Do you understand what he asked?

Student: In the explanation, he said that there are those who are only good, and those who are also bad. And the bad come from a higher degree. So, why are there people who get stuck, seemingly, on the degree of the good? They can't advance to the degree of the bad and then use vessels of reception.

M. Laitman: So, why are they called bad? Because in their vessels of reception, they still need to perform a correction.

Student: He's asking why not everyone come to the degree of the bad. He says there are those who get stuck on the level of the good.

M. Laitman: Now, that depends on the place from which they fell.

Student: It depends on the root of a person?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (55:44) If all of this, the good and the bad is inside a person, what should be the attitude toward the bad of this world?

M. Laitman: In this world, whoever is in this world doesn't recognize the good or the bad. For him, this doesn't exist. This world, that speaks of a person's perceptions and how a person perceives it. So, with the perception of this world, we only relate to our vessels of reception.

Question (Latin 26): (56:41) What kind of practical changes can I make today to go from bad to good in my relationship with others?

M. Laitman: In my relationships with others, I can always advance to a better state. That’s all.

Student: How can I discern my day-to-day if the acts of my friends stem from a desire for adhesion with the Creator or only from the desire for personal benefit?

M. Laitman: I need to try and weigh all actions, all the actions of the vessels in our world towards the good.

Question (PT 31): (57:52) How do you use external actions so that my request will receive an answer from the Creator?

M. Laitman: I think that we need to stand on the definitions of the vessels of bestowal opposite the vessels of reception.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (58:50) Vessels of reception are on the pleasure that fills the vessels of bestowal? We made a correction on vessels of bestowal in order to bestow. Relative to what are now the vessels of reception?

M. Laitman: You worked now with the vessels of bestowal, and?

Student: So what do we now consider vessels of reception? The filling in the vessels of bestowal or what was there before?

M. Laitman: Unclear.

Student: There is a correction of the vessels of bestowal. We made a correction. The light is revealed to the extent that it fits those vessels of bestowal. What does it mean that we are now working with vessels of reception? Relative to what? What light are we working with relative to vessels of reception?

M. Laitman: The light of Hochma.

Student: Such as in the system before we started the work of the vessels of bestowal, or it happens because we corrected the vessels of bestowal?

M. Laitman: You corrected the vessels of bestowal and they are now ready to receive in order to bestow.

Student: They are willing to receive in order to bestow, but what do the vessels of bestowal do? Do they draw light? Because we now corrected the vessels of bestowal, is there a connection between them?

M. Laitman: There is a connection.

Student: What is the connection between these two states?

M. Laitman: It very much depends on the situation.

Student: What do we need to do differently in the connection between us? In the connection we work on vessels of bestowal, let's say we corrected them. What do we now add so that the vessels of reception will get into the action of receiving in order to bestow?

M. Laitman: After having corrected the vessels of bestowal, now there is a question, how to reach the vessels that will receive in order to bestow, yes? So what is your question?

Student: What do we have to do here? What is added here?

M. Laitman: What else needs to be corrected? What else needs to be corrected?

Student: Also the receiving of the pleasure.

M. Laitman: What kinds of vessels?

Student: Level 3, level 4, coarser vessels. In order to bestow, their connection with their friends, and vessels of reception, is it in the connection with the Creator? I'm just guessing.

M. Laitman: Yes, it's different.

Student: In what? What is the difference, where is the difference?

M. Laitman: In the coarseness.

Student: How is this coarseness expressed?

M. Laitman: The coarseness is expressed through the will to receive in the vessels.

Student: We can measure it only in the connection between us, what appears before us. So, what is different in the connection between us in the vessels of bestowal versus the connection in the vessels of reception?

M. Laitman: In the vessels of bestowal, with the vessels of bestowal, we can perform acts of bestowal in any state, in any situation. And with the vessels of reception, we can perform actions only in a state where we fill the vessels of bestowal with them.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:04:00) A friend asked earlier, he gave the example of a person married for 30 years, and later he needs to renew it, but usually he asks to renew what he felt 30 years ago. The influence of our environment should give a person a desire for something new, that he did not have before, which is to bestow. A new attitude. What should a person demand of the society? In what way should he demand the society to influence him so he would attain a new desire to bestow and not something he had before? What’s the approach he should he employ so they would give him these thoughts and desires?

M. Laitman: That he would return to the same desires and thoughts he had before?

Student: No, to acquire new thoughts and desires of bestowal. How should he get it from the society so they would give him these kinds of thoughts and desires, and not that 30 years later, he's looking to renew the vessels he had before?

M. Laitman: He needs to see the actions of the society as being new.

Student: How is that creating in him a new desire for bestowal, a new need?

M. Laitman: Because he elevates himself to a degree of bestowal that's higher than before.

Student: But a person is accustomed to demanding renewal in vessels of reception, as we're accustomed to do. But we need to demand a renewal for vessels of bestowal, something we're not accustomed to demand. How do I demand the society will bestow to me vessels of bestowal, or a desire to bestow?

M. Laitman: You incorporate with them, and you want to work with them in bestowal. Meaning, you give them your desires and intentions in order to bestow.

Student: I don't have that by nature. I have to invent such forces that I don't have in order to receive it from society. It's hard for a person to take even a small step there. It turns out that a person is constantly in this loop, trying to acquire vessels of reception, renew his regular vessels, to have new vessels with which he can absorb more pleasure from society, the way he’s accustomed to it.

M. Laitman: You're right.

Student: So, what should he demand from the society so that it will give him something new? What should he change inside of himself?

M. Laitman: Within himself, he needs to change the importance of the vessels of bestowal.

Student: Where does he learn what is bestowal so he can have the importance of it? It needs to come from above, seemingly.

M. Laitman: Yes, but he's searching for it.

Student: How to clarify it more so he would look for bestowal. So the influence we get from the society will be vessels of bestowal, a desire to bestow.

M. Laitman: That's right. Just to think about this, think about it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:08:33) We need to be incorporated maximally in the concern for Bnei Baruch in the all respects, that gives a great deal of livelihood. It’s a practical advice.

M. Laitman: True.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:08:57) To continue the friend’s question about vessels of bestowal, working with vessels of bestowal versus working with vessels of reception. Yesterday we met in the Ten. We created a feeling of connection, very strong. We did it consciously, so that each friend will have the strength to do the inner work. And you can feel it also now in the Ten, in the lesson. How to constantly, until the end of the week, we won't be able to have additional Ten gatherings like that. We won't be able to boost each other, these forces to generate this inner force for everyone to do the work. How can you drip it into us to keep it alive?

M. Laitman: In the connection between all of you.

Student: We meet every day in the lesson, we meet every day on Zoom. Tonight there’s also a gathering. There are points of gathering during the day, but the feeling of togetherness, we have to strive for it, work on it, to enliven it every time anew so each one will be able to do his individual, his personal work. Everything from scratch, there is nothing we can do to generate a process that will accelerate it, that will make the pulse keep going.

M. Laitman: So, the question is, how do I renew the vessels of reception? Yes?

Student: I think the question is, how do I renew the feeling of the vessels of bestowal in the Ten so each one will have the opportunity to work on his vessels of reception that are already pulling him.

M. Laitman: Yes. Well, we'll think about that until tomorrow, and tomorrow we'll try to get an answer from each and every little group, and then it will be more clear to us where exactly we are situated.
