Question: If I feel that I am falling, that darkness is coming, and I am holding on to the Creator, can I feel gratitude and joy in this darkness?

Answer: Yes, only by holding on to the Creator after you connect with your friends.

Question: How can you grab hold of your friends from the darkness?

Answer: It seems to you that it is easier to hold on to the Creator than to the friends. In fact, this is not the case.

If you cling to your friends and want to be together with them as one man with one heart, then from this state you can also cling to the Creator. Otherwise, you will not have the right preparation to come close to Him.
