Comment: Arkady writes: “My parents brought me up very strictly. When they wanted to punish me, they never laid a finger on me, my father just used to come close to me, look at me sternly and say: “Arkady, you are destroying your soul with this.”

This made me even more afraid than if I had been punished. I was afraid of losing my soul. Why? Why are we so afraid of this? And at the same time, we do not know anything about it.”

My Response: Probably it still affects a person, even a child. Because this is really considered in our perceptions as the final loss of something great, big, and special.

Question: Do we have this feeling that there is a soul in us?

Answer: It is just a feeling of life that you can suddenly find yourself in a state in which you will not feel like you are living.

Question: Then what is the soul?

Answer: The soul is a part of the Creator in a person.

Comment: This is very high.

My Response: Yes, this is how it is said: “Creator’s particle from above.”

Question: Can you decipher this a little?

Answer: No, I cannot because there is no soul in a person so that you can point to something and say: “This is your soul.”

Question: So what am I afraid of losing then?

Answer: The fact is that a person is afraid of losing connection with eternity, with the Creator, with something that he cannot acquire. This scares him very much.

Comment: You just said a phrase that also needs to be explained, “there is no soul in a person.”

My Response: The soul means the quality of bestowal and love through which a person can feel the eternity of nature and the infinity of creation.

Comment: But we keep saying that there is a small point in a person, some kind of germ.

My Response: A rudiment.

Question: During the course of life should a person come closer to this point in him, the germ of the soul?

Answer: He must not only come closer, he can reveal it. This can really be an eternal great acquisition for him.

Question: In principle, if we are talking about the purpose of a person’s life, then can we say that the purpose of a person’s life is to come closer and reveal this point?

Answer: Yes, this possibility exists in every person.

Question: The possibility to reveal this point called the rudiment of the soul?

Answer: Yes. If you start working with it, it turns into an ever-increasing sense of true creation that exists eternally.

Question: So going back to the beginning, can we say that we surreptitiously or subconsciously somewhere feel that there is something like that within us? Is this what we are afraid of losing?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Why are we not all searching for this point all the time? Why does the thought that we need to look for this point within ourselves not come to everyone, that this is life, eternal life?

Answer: The fact is that this is just not interesting to an ordinary person. He lives the life of his animalistic organism, which contains him and controls him. And this, in general, is his life, his existence.

Question: What makes a person suddenly start looking deeply inside of himself, looking for this point?

Answer: The desire not to lose something eternal.

Question: Are we going back to this anyway? Is this the fear of losing this eternal something and the desire to find it? Basically, as you say, everything revolves around this point?

Answer: Yes. As for everything else, let a person strive for this and he himself will understand, see, find out, and feel what he is missing for that.
