Comment: There is a Chilean parable about a shepherd who crossed a small river over a shaky bridge for 40 years. He was always afraid of falling. One day, he suddenly saw a man approaching who crossed the river through an invisible ford. The shepherd shouts to the man: “I have been walking here for 40 years and I do not know this ford.” He answers: “Look, you are a shepherd, you lead the sheep. But who are you following?”

My Response: This is good. Think about who is leading you.

Question: Humanity is crossing this shaky bridge all the time over a turbulent river. It never thinks about who it is following. It is always inventing some kind of economic and political program.

Answer: There is an effect of mass. The mass is going, and I go.

Comment: People are already falling in the same place, right there; the bridge is already full of holes.

My Response: It does not matter. But they are going, and I must go with them. A sense of community.

Question: Do we repeat the same wars, even in a more terrible way?

Answer: The herd feeling leads us all.

Comment: In this parable, the shepherd saw a man walking through an invisible ford.

My Response: But you still must see this.

Question: How can we see that there is a ford in this turbulent river of life?

Answer: To do this, we need to see the person who is crossing.

Question: How do we see? How can we reveal this vision?

Answer: This is not given to everyone.

Question: Is there a ford in this river?

Answer: There is a ford everywhere and always. But to do this, you need to be able to see a real person who knows how to cross the river and knows where the ford is.

Question: Let us say you are talking about a person, a wise man, who knows where the ford is. How does he know where the ford is? Did he fall off the bridge himself and so on? How does he find a ford in this turbulent river of life?

Answer: This is already a connection with the Creator. There is no other way.

Question: Does it mean that He created this river, He directed us on shaky bridges, He pushes us to absolutely everything, and He also must indicate the ford?

Answer: A person should ask Him to show the crossing.

Question: Should people ask the Creator to show the crossing, the normal, peaceful, good one?

Answer: Yes.

Question: When will this happen?

Answer: When we ask and demand, when there is a need, then we will see.

Question: What is a real request that has an answer?

Answer: That we definitely need to cross this river. We want to cross it not by our own will and with our own mind, but so that we are shown from above for what purpose and why. Then we will get an answer.

Question: Are you saying that we are building these shaky bridges all the time, but we only must ask?

Answer: Of course.

Comment: Will we be able to cross without a bridge then?

My Response: Yes. Otherwise, in the end, we all fall off these bridges and drown.
