“Two opposites, which compose a singular reality.”
I dig back through the forums sometimes for unsatisfying answers from the past and always find they are tremendous answers much later on. Thank you for assembling this tremendous ongoing archive personally for each of us. Each topic keeps becoming the present topic over and over.
From the morning lesson:
“Question (Petah Tikva Center): (51:57) Where is the root of hatred?
M. Laitman: The root of hatred is the shattering of the screen. The screen was broken, and there was no unity. Everyone only feels their own will to receive, and the will to receive that is different from the person feels as foreign, and that’s the root of hatred. What does it mean? Well, there are many degrees to that. I love myself, and I only care about myself, because that’s my necessity”
Is this meant to imply that the only reason we can’t feel the others as ourselves, or their vessels as ours, is because we don’t want to?
If I obtain a screen I should begin to be able to sense the others as myself again?
I have read that the connection between us is the Creator and only He can form it. Does this mean the substance of the screen, the connection, what makes Kedusha… they are the Creator? Or they are us?
Or is this the overlapping quality that’s part both?
That is how the last ten years felt. Regretting the shattered state and being grateful to no longer overlook the problem. Thanks for the explanation.
The “Lamentations” had no comment, lesson or description with it this morning. Can you say anything about the purpose of it or how it’s used in the work?
In the text for the morning lesson this morning “What Does It Mean that the Right Must Be Greater then the Left, in the Work?” it says a couple times that the left line is how new souls are created.
How is that so? Is it that unique new lacks are discovered? What is a soul in this context?
So would a “vessel” of reception not really be a vessel at all, but more like a sieve that can only sense something passing through it?
Also, I am listening to the morning lesson and Rav mentions that Pharaoh and the Creator can only be together if they are connected by a screen. Which makes it sound more like a complex adapter type structure creating the relation between the two. Not a simple barrier? Is this why a screen is sometimes described as having. coarseness, thickness or hardness? It’s not a simple threshold?
