Feeding on the Upper Light

528.03Question: How does a person’s involvement in the internal processes of the group help him accelerate his progress and even, perhaps, go through spiritual states more painlessly?

Answer: When a person is engaged in materials that speak about the next level of the world, then from there, from that level, the surrounding light shines on him. He gets a little charge.

By being engaged in connection with his friends, he prepares the conditions for the influence of that same surrounding light on him. The most important thing is to work with light, meaning with your next level. To the extent that he aspires to it in study, in connection with friends, in disseminating it, in inspiration, in exalting it, from there the upper light shines on him the quality of bestowal that reigns at that level.

It is in this quality of bestowal that a person begins to rise above the virtues that he has at the moment. This is the principle of spiritual ascent—to attract the quality of the upper level, the radiance of the upper light.

Question: What happens if a person cannot find himself in this system?

Answer: He leaves this method and will return to it no one knows when. He will be given the same awakening again, only the external conditions will be much worse with problems, wars, and sufferings that will help him overcome the difference between the stage he is on and the next one, i.e., between today’s egoistic quality and the next, future, altruistic one.

Question: Have some of us already experienced this separation; have we repeatedly come and departed from this method?

Answer: I don’t know, maybe. Someday you will know, although it doesn’t matter. What is the difference, because when a person is in this method, he is immersed in it. If he goes forward, then he goes; if not, then no. It still does not convince him whether he was already in it or not. It is like he has been reborn every time.
