New Life 294 – Group Emotion
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

How do we build a group in which its members feel as if they are a single body? What are the necessary conditions for its existence? What are the unique activities that are said to be implemented in it?

Whether the intention of a group is to create harmony, as in a philharmonic orchestra, or to promote personal excellence, as in a sports team, a group whose members are connected “as one person with one heart” will be invincible.

A complete creation means that in spite of differences between the instruments, sounds, and people, they develop a uniform creation. The audience is also part of the game.

Two groups can create harmony between opposites. It is like what happens between a man and a woman. We don’t destroy or blur the gap between us; instead we cover it over with love. Spiritual harmony means that we work toward building a warm connection between us to become one. We begin from the end: Our goal is to reach a state in which we feel each other with our eyes closed. The connection between us is built above rejection, arguments, and criticism. We swallow every eruption. This restraint, the effort to close the internal badness, leads us to feel that we are one.

For example, what actions might we take to develop integral perception on a soccer team? Every meeting between the players begins from a connection workshop: How can we feel that we are one? We interact with each other warmly; we try to help and give support like the individual organs in a single body. In training, we play with one team against another team. We try to create harmony between the two teams, between opposites. If I am irritated by someone during the game, I try to swallow my rage and go on as usual. After the game we will talk about what happened. In the meantime, I tell myself that there must have been a misunderstanding.

In conclusion, when connection is made above separation, suddenly everyone is an angel. “Love covers all transgressions” (Proverbs 10:12)
