Question: Can friends who have acquired experience in conducting integral circles in Sochi create an “aquarium” in their places?

Answer: If they are a few people and they truly perceive what is happening here correctly and not what they imagine, then maybe they can. There is a big difference between what there is to be understood and what everyone perceives.

So, if they perceive everything correctly and can take the image of conveying integral circles with them and correctly creating it anew in their areas—creating a similar situation, a Kli—then, certainly, this would be wonderful.

I would recommend thinking about the future, but not about the big, international conventions where thousands of people are present, but rather about small “aquarium” in which people with the same language, the same culture, the same mentality gather who can connect quickly and correctly between them, and create a spiritual Kli.

So, suppose that one Kli is created here, another Kli there, and so forth—a third Kli, a fourth—and all of them share mutually between them, but each one, in spite of it all, is different with regard to its mentality. We see that this is the way it happens: Eastern Europe is not Western Europe. Russia, Kazakhstan, Belorussia, Ukraine, this is not Israel and South America, and this is certainly not the United States and Canada.

Ultimately, regional “aquariums” will be created, groups who very seriously will begin to work on unification and internal consolidation, and this will be a true convention. In addition, when people gather for three days, but without serious depth, then it is necessary to acknowledge that this doesn’t provide the desired effect.
