Gradation of Desires

509Question: You said that in a group there are inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human levels, and everything depends only on a person’s intention. How can a person choose this level with his intentions?

Answer: By his development! He is rising. Now you cannot feel what level of development you are at. “I am a man in this world. See, I am a man! Look, two legs and two arms, like a monkey, and the head is also in place. So who am I, a man or not?! I look at myself in the mirror; I look like a man. Suddenly, some kind of wolf’s face appeared; no, it is not me! It is me, but internally. Suddenly, a rabbit’s face appeared, and this is also me sometimes.”

Who am I inside myself? And what we are inside we do not understand. You do not understand what level you are at, at what level are your desires of vegetative, animate, inanimate, or human type.

In principle, they are all very easy to sort. If you live based on the advice of others, in the depth of our world, then your desires are definitely at the inanimate level; otherwise you would not exist.

Desires of the vegetative level are where you completely follow what is in this world, you go after everyone else; where everyone goes, you also go. It is like this: a little toward the sun, a little like this, a little like that; these are egoistic desires of the vegetative level, and they are not even animate yet.

Desires of the animate level is where you start looking for meaning in movements, and anxiety already arises.

When you start to implement these desires to reach the next level, then although they are still egoistic, they are already approaching the desires of the human level. That is, in them you move from Lo Lishma (for yourself) to Lishma (for the sake of the other).

Question: How are they sorted in a group according to the intention?

Answer: In the group, they are usually of the fourth level. Or they are at the border between the third and fourth levels, animate and human.

Then at the next degrees, they are sorted further because each level consists of four more. This is the natural law of the decomposition of each object.

Question: Does it mean that in the group itself there is an inanimate level, a vegetative level, and so on?

Answer: Yes, we can see this by the extent people participate in everything, by how much they are inside the spiritual work, and how much they devote themselves to the implementation of the methodology. But this is not necessary because they are integrated into each other. Here, a lot depends on the root of the soul.
