The Main Impression From The Congress

laitman_939_02Question: I enjoy communicating with friends, but then I forget about all intentions. Is this such a disturbance?

Answer: There are different times: when I feel good and when I feel bad, when I forget and when I remember, and so on. They all add up together.

The main thing is not to worry. When you are at the congress among a lot of people, the situation itself constantly reminds you what you are participating in and what you are doing. You see, hear, and feel with your skin what is happening here. This is the main impression from the congress. The surrounding atmosphere influences you.

What Determines The Frequency Of Spiritual States?

laitman_947Question: How can we accelerate the frequency of the change of states during a convention?

Answer: That depends on many parameters, but mainly on the group, on the ten you are in.

If you are ready for a breakthrough, you will be able to do it even independently of others. It is very important to know that and to try to fulfill it.

Question: What does the pace of the transition from one level to another depend on? Does it depend on our degree of despair or on our sensitivity? How can we go through the states of despair faster?

Answer: That depends on your merging with others.

Where Did The Congresses Come From?

laitman_944Question: Where did the congresses come from? Are there historical facts indicating that Kabbalists used to bring thousands of people together and hold such events, or is this something new?

Answer: There is nothing new here, and we are not inventing anything.

Kabbalah is built on the laws of the upper world; therefore, in everything we do, we must find out whether it is in accordance to its laws. Otherwise, it might harm us.

Conventions were held even in ancient Israel when people were in attainment of the upper world.

Kabbalists used to come to the Temple in Jerusalem three times a year: on Sukkot, Pesach, and Shavuot in order to study and to participate in the study and the meals with everyone. What is more, throughout the year people used to come to the Temple to study and have meals together. This was considered a very good deed, and we may even say, a Godly one.

When Feelings Are Silent

laitman_939_02Question: From my experience, I can say that there are people who feel that when they unite at a convention, it is good for them; they really feel spiritual elevation. And there are those who do not feel anything at all.

In which cases should a person feel something if he has not yet developed altruistic characteristics? If a person is feeling with egoistic characteristics, it is not called unity. What would you advise those who do not feel anything?

Answer: It depends on the attitude of the person toward what is happening. Let him sit and cry about not feeling anything instead of flaunting the fact saying, “I don’t feel anything and I don’t care, you go ahead and worry.” It should be of great concern to him, because his whole life could continue like that, just as half his life has already passed, and what is the reason for it?

A person must yearn for the highest quality in our world and the upper world to be revealed to him, meaning the Creator, the power of nature, which holds all of creation within it and manages everything.

If I am a sociable person who loves the group, loves unity, then my connection with others is basically prosaic. It interests me to be together with everyone, I spin around, shout and dance; that is one thing.

But when I do all of this because I must discover the Creator, that is another matter. To do this, I am ready to act like a little child. I will do whatever they tell me, because I want to achieve my goal. Therefore, I will do everything in order to enrage my ego. Let the ego “provoke” me, and to spite it, I will step over it and move on.

Congresses And Distances

Laitman_524_01Question: How should those who cannot come to a congress, relate to it? What specifically does their work consist of?

Answer: This is a big problem. There are many people from different regions who would like to come, but can not due to material reasons.

I can say only one thing: remain at your places, follow our congress, and be together with us as much as possible. And you will see that everything spiritual, in both us and you, simply transfuse like in one common vessel.

This relates to both physical and virtual groups. If possible, be connected to each other, organize meals together with us. Try to do everything the same as us.

Question: Do you think that more people will not be able to come to congresses in the future?

Answer: Yes, the world is moving downward. Let us hope that this movement will not put pressure on us in our daily life, but it will be more difficult to fly somewhere and participate in congresses.

In A Kabbalistic Society

laitman_938_03Question: What is the practical implementation of the principle of “The King’s glory is in the multitude?” After all, wherever there is crowd, it is usually the opposite situation.

Answer: Indeed, you will not find anything wise where there is a crowd, but only stupid fantasies. But in a Kabbalistic society, it isn’t a crowd that gathers, but outstanding people who want to overcome their egoism and raise their yearning for the Creator above all the obstacles.

Thus they unite, each with his own unique, upper impulse, and this is actually what determines the shared outcome that we attain in the connection between us, and in it, we reveal the Creator.

A Convention Is The Unity Of Internal Impulses

laitman_282_01Question: What is a convention, not in the physical sense, but inside a person?

Answer: A convention is the unity of all of our internal impulses to reveal the meaning of life, which means when a person asks, “What am I living for?”

This question is hidden in each of us, and it is called a desire. When all of these small desires connect into one desire, it is possible to receive an answer about the meaning of life, and this is precisely what we get together for.
