When you come to the convention, you need to jump into this sea of love. Even in ordinary life it happens that when you love someone, it is impossible to keep your feelings inside; they pour out. This is the relationship we want with the Creator.
Here we are not talking about love between a man and a woman or parents and children, but about the kind of love that is above bodies and above all calculations—a boundless ocean where you can enter and disappear in its depths. This is how we need to drown in our feelings, like in the ocean.
We enter this sea; it picks us up and carries us. It pulls us in all directions, and it makes us feel that we are in the ocean of our friends’ love, in the sea of our unity. I am not afraid of drowning in this sea; on the contrary, I feel surrounded by friends, I am together with them, and there are no boundaries to our mutual feelings.
The sea is Malchut, and therefore there is a custom of going into the sea and plunging headlong three times. This is a wonderful thing.

Question: How does the Creator open our hearts? Is it through love for each friend or through perceiving the boundless good world of the Creator and the creations He created?
Answer: The Creator affects us in different ways. It is impossible to say exactly how. He awakens desires and aspirations in us, and at the same time all sorts of circumstances around us. This is how we move.
The main thing is to do our work, that is, to awaken ourselves to unification starting with the ten and further to the entire world Kli.

A Heart-Opening Convention
Question: If I look at the group, at the spiritual environment, and at the same time try to focus on the Creator, on the point of unity, how does the structure of the ten Sefirot manifest itself?
Answer: We are gradually beginning to feel that there is a living network of connections between us that is always in motion, in transformation. As a result, we will experience various attitudes from our friends, from the world, from our surrounding, and we will begin to define these movements.
We need to reach a state where we find ourselves completely dependent, connected, and glued together to the extent that the internal changes of each of us will affect everyone.
In Kabbalah, this is called adhesion (Dvekut). Then we will see how in achieving this gluing between us the Creator begins to manifest Himself. This glue itself is Him who determines our spiritual states. This is how we will work and reveal spirituality.

How can we unite as one man if everyone is initially so different? There is not a single person who is absolutely similar to another. And the whole nature is arranged in such a way that each being has unique qualities that distinguish him from others and are even opposite to them.
Therefore, all our work is done above our qualities. We cannot correct them; we can only attract the upper force, the reforming light, so that it connects us.
And then we will be able to be together, and to the extent of our connection, we will again become one body, one desire, one intention, called Adam HaRishon, and so we will achieve the goal of creation.
We do not need to look at how different we are, but despite all the differences we need to look for how to unite into one vessel for the sake of one goal, one Creator. And then all the differences that originally existed in us, which we could not correct but could only rise and unite above, will benefit us and strengthen the force of our unity.
Therefore, at the upcoming convention, we need to try to unite and inspire each other in order to advance. The convention gives everyone a unique opportunity to be inspired by thousands of people and then bring these impressions to their tens, thus gaining power many times greater than what they had before the convention.
This is a special gift, a special power that can be obtained during the convention, and that is why we are gathering in it. Each of us has a very small, tiny force. But when we unite, our forces are incorporated into one another and form one huge force.
Therefore, do not miss this opportunity. All we need these days is to be impressed by each other, by how much a whole swarm of opposing, alien forces lives in everyone, but I want to accept this force and get involved in this connection.

The Secret Of Kabbalah Conventions
In order to allow us to attain the essence of creation, its inner strength, which is the Creator, the creation first reveals its shattering to us. Then its elements begin to connect with each other: first atoms, molecules, simple organisms, then the male and female parts of creation.
In the end, the connection reaches not only the inanimate, vegetative, and animate levels, but also the human level, that is, connection based on characters, views, mutual connection, and the birth of common offspring.
In this way, we develop more and more until we realize the need for an increasingly internal connection between us, and then we discover our oppositeness, mutual hatred, and rejection. The more these forces grow within us, the more we develop within the contrast of these opposites.
This contradiction lies within each of us, opposite desires and problems, because of this we want to unite but cannot do so. This is how we follow the path of our development, connect into different groups, nations, countries, parties, and all kinds of associations, and in this form reach our time divided into nationalities, states, and families.
But now the time has come to go through a very special stage of development and discover that we must rise above all our differences. That is, the unity should no longer be on a corporeal level, but on a spiritual one. This is the call of the times we find ourselves in; it requires us to rise above all contradictions.
Let us hope that we can understand this requirement and implement it so that we can ultimately reach one commonality as one man.

Michael Laitman, On Quora: “What is our purpose in creation?“
The human being is the center of creation and is its purpose. The upper force of love and bestowal in reality, which Kabbalists call “the Creator” and “Nature,” created us in order to raise us to the highest possible degree: to identify with the upper force.
The process of attaining similarity with the upper force is called a process of correction. In this process, we acquire the qualities of love and bestowal. This process is also called the “attainment of the Creator,” and it is the ultimate purpose of our creation in this world. Why? It is because we were created with a nature of wishing solely to enjoy, and attaining the Creator is the greatest and most satisfying form of enjoyment we could possibly reach. Unlike our corporeal pleasures in this world—for food, sex, family, money, honor, control and knowledge, which all fade away—the pleasure of attaining the Creator is eternal and perfect.
According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, we were initially created as a single soul called “Adam HaRishon” (Hebrew for “The First Man”), after which we shattered into 600,000 parts. Every part undergoes an independent process of correction. The correction of each part gives it the possibility to be filled with the upper force, or in other words, a feeling of the Creator. The feeling of the Creator filling us gives us access to what are called “spiritual worlds.”
The purpose of creation is thus that the Creator will completely fulfill us. For the time being, however, our souls are in a state called “this world,” where we have no feeling of the Creator. In such a state, it is considered that the Creator is concealed from us. (The word for “world” [“Olam”] in Hebrew connects to the same linguistic root as the word for “concealment” [“He’elem”].)
When the soul perceives contact with the Creator for the first time, it rises to its first spiritual degree. It then begins to make itself resemble the Creator more and more, and by doing so, it feels the upper force with increasing intensity and sensitivity. When all the parts of the soul become fully corrected, they then rise to a state called “the end of correction” (“Gmar Tikkun”).
