Question: How much effort did you have to make to feel what your teacher was saying?

Answer: A lot.

Question: You did not always agree with him, did you?

Answer: Of course not.

Question: Did you fight?

Answer: I did not fight against him, although sometimes I had a desire to give him an ultimatum: “No, not like this!” and so on. This is the natural reaction of our egoism.

But the fact is that I always understood that there was no other way, and I tried to work on it. There is no other way! I constantly researched the methodology, and it appeared to me to be very logical and perfect.

I kept trying to find a gap in it where there were still some inconsistencies and contradictions in it. You know, like in some physical theory. In the end, on the contrary, I was revealing only its perfection.

Therefore, I tried very hard to understand everything to the end. But to understand, it is necessary to engage in the implementation of the methodology. This is number one.

Number two is dissemination. After all, realization does not consist only in receiving from the upper, which is the teacher. He is the upper, he stands before you, in front of you, and only through him will you receive spiritual sensations. By this, you are bound to him forever. Such is the hierarchy of souls. And most importantly, you are searching: “Who will receive from me? To whom can I transfer all this?”

When you work with the source and become a transmitter for others, then you begin to properly contact both the upper and the lower. This gradually makes you a more and more corrected element of the spiritual world, the spiritual system.

I tried to work tirelessly in these two directions: to receive from the teacher and to prepare to pass on to others. I think that it was these two movements, me toward him and me toward the others, that brought me to this.
