By making a covenant with one another, we promise to maintain our relationship at the level it is at now. To do this we must examine ourselves.

This analysis proceeds through all the states that may arise in accordance with the present degree and not at a higher level. We make sure that our covenant will remain valid at this stage and will not be interrupted under any circumstances.

After we have analyzed the present degree and see that the covenant holds throughout its entire depth, we can advance further in our relationship with one another. And so the next degree arrives. New conditions arise on it, which we accept.

At first, we feel that we hate one another. This happens because the right and left lines exist within creation. Then we begin to connect; that is, the left line, which absorbs the qualities of creation, passes into the middle line.

And in the middle line, we come to awareness, connection, knowledge, and connection with one another. This is called signing an agreement. We want the level of this degree to remain forever and never decrease. Then, in addition to the agreement, we conclude and sign a covenant.

These states arise constantly on every degree. In other words, the act of establishing a covenant is an action we must inevitably encounter each time we define our attitude toward the Creator. This is, in essence, the establishment of a covenant with the Creator.
