Question: You say that our most horrible qualities can be used correctly. But these bad qualities are expressed on the physical level as well. How can I direct the urge to kill, for example, in the right direction?

Answer: If you want to kill, go and work as a butcher. Learn how to kill cattle correctly and go ahead and kill.

The desire to coerce can also be directed correctly. Try to coerce yourself and you will become a great person. Everything depends on the object and the goal.

Comment: But not all qualities can be applied to oneself.

My Response: That is the only way! This is why a person is born!

When you try to coerce or kill others, to do something bad to them, eventually you later discover a horrifying fact. It turns out that by that, you coerced and killed the people closest and dearest to you, who are dearer to you than your own self. And you reach such a horrible state when you suddenly discover the essence of your actions. And this will definitely happen.

You will reveal that all the people for whom you have ever felt even the slightest bit of hatred, dislike, and rejection, to whom you caused anything bad or even allowed it in your thoughts, it turns out they are the closest and most beloved by you.

And to the extent of the pleasure you felt when wishing to demean them, to somehow punish them, to do anything to them, you will feel all of that in relation to yourself, and that is how you will be corrected. But that is a horrible state. I am speaking based on my own experience.

You will discover that it was as if you were punishing your own baby, who you love more than yourself, that it turns out that the whole time, you were maliciously and viciously inflicting enormous pain upon him. You will discover his internal suffering, how he experienced it, how in reality he was calling out to you inside, “Daddy, what are you doing to me?!” It is a tragedy! But on the upside, this causes you to reach true repentance, true love.

Question: But isn’t this sadism, torturing yourself?

Answer: It is revelation of evil when you pay for your hatred of everyone.

Comment: But I was rewarded with this hatred.

My Response: You have to go through this precisely in order to reject it.
