A hero is someone who, by relying on his egoistic nature, builds another person out of himself, that is similar to the Creator.

Imagine that a person, like a worm, is inside a rotten apple and begins to slowly emerge from it. He sticks his head out, sees a wonderful world of giving and love, and comes out of himself into a completely different space, the blue sky and the sun, not the darkness in which he lived. Although he had enough of everything for his body, this world wasn’t there.

And now when he gets out of this rot, he must process it, which means processing all his egoism to bestow to others. And how?! Out of himself, out of his egoism, he builds similarity to the Creator.

He studies the Creator, asks Him to reveal Himself, to show him an example like an adult to a child, and he overcomes his ego as much as he is able to. He uses it not for himself, but for similarity to the Creator. And similarity to the Creator means love for everyone else.

And so in portions: a little more he studies the Creator, a little more he makes himself like Him; a little more he studies the Creator, a little more he makes himself like Him. As a result he sees that all his egoism is intended only to turn this huge, terrible mass into similarity to the Creator, to gain the full quality of bestowal and love for everyone else.

And then he becomes equal to the Creator. That is all. The problem is solved. But it is completely the opposite of how we use egoism in our world. And now we have to start processing it.

Question: At some point in history, a man named Adam realized that there was solid egoism surrounding him. From that moment on, the spiritual system began to unfold as a basis for ascent.

Does it turn out that we could not do without what happened before in order to realize all this selfishness, all this mass?

Answer: We couldn’t. What happened before our time, it should have been so. But from our time onward, we can already act differently.
