Question: Man’s main job is to come to a sense of the Creator’s reality. Achieving It can only be through prayer. How can a person keep the prayer that he must come to this feeling within oneself?

Answer: Strive for the Creator always and keep the desire to attain Him in your heart.

Question: Reason prevents us from going in faith above reason. How do we use reason correctly so that it helps us rise above ourselves?

Answer: To do this you need to unite with each other so that everyone can help a friend rise a little bit. If you work together to influence everyone in the ten in this way, you will be able to rise.

Question: When there is a great desire to get closer to the Creator, it is a good state. But what if a person feels the Creator a little bit, then is it not very good anymore?

Answer: It is okay to keep developing this feeling and try to increase it.

Question: When we raise our prayer, should we strive to reveal the Creator or should we pray for the entire world Kli to reveal Him, or maybe even the whole world?

Answer: It is hard to say. It depends on who we are talking to.

In principle, it is important that a person who hears us feels how concerned we are about the internal state of the world. Through our dissemination, we want to convey our inner trepidation to humanity.

Question: When we get together and do something, what element needs to be included in order for what we have in mind to work?

Answer: It is only striving for connection; nothing more. This connection is realized precisely within us because, in principle, there is no external world.

Comment: Every time we try to unite even more, we see that we are completely unable to do this.

My Response: Then you have the opportunity to ask. Ask for this from the common power that is hidden in this connection.

Initially, there is a connection between us, only it is hidden from us. And we have to dig deeper and uncover it, uncover it, uncover it.

Comment: However, the further a person moves, the more difficult it is for him to find connection.

My Response: But on the other hand, he has more opportunities. For example, if you are a great scientist, then your experiments and tasks are much more complex for you than for a laboratory assistant who mixes various substances in test tubes.

All thoughts, both good and bad, come to us from the Creator, and we must filter them through ourselves and decide which ones we can use to reach a good goal and which ones we cannot. This is necessary only to more precisely direct us toward the purpose of creation.

Question: Through which criteria should we determine which thoughts to restrict?

Answer: First and foremost, I must restrict thoughts that are directed only for my own sake. It is preferable not to use them. After that, it depends on the state of the group and the state of the friends.

Question: As soon as I restrict a thought for my own sake, do I immediately build an intention for the sake of the group?

Answer: Yes, that is best of all.

Question: What does it mean to channel a thought through the ten and how is it implemented?

Answer: Channeling a thought through the ten means that I must be seriously, firmly, and constantly connected with my friends.

And everything that is in me: my thoughts, plans, and actions, I channel, not through myself, but through us. In this case, we unite and can act practically without any limitations.

Question: Should a student be concerned not to cause anger in the friends, not to provoke negative states in them, or is it only the concern of the one who reacts this way?

Answer: It is everyone’s concern because it hinders the entire group, the entire ten.

Question: If I am constantly fulfilled from meetings with my friends, what will lead me to cry out with the true prayer that we must come to? It seems to me that this joy and fulfillment after meetings takes me away from the goal.

Answer: There is a prayer that leads to the Creator, and there is a prayer that distances one from the Creator, which depends on what a person wants. Therefore, at first, we just want to find out how to unite between ourselves and the Creator in order to make Him bring us closer to Himself. This is the most important thing. This is what we want to achieve first of all.

Question: And how can I compel the Creator?

Answer: Through words, through prayer.

Question: But the Creator does not hear our words.

Answer: He hears, not your words, but your heart. It does not matter what language we speak; the main thing is that we experience the right feelings.

Question: But my heart is busy with fulfillment and pleasure; there is no place in it for crying, for prayer.

Answer: That is what you need to think about and decide which is more important to you: to feel the fulfillment of your heart or its emptiness. As soon as you want to feel the true state of the heart, that is, its emptiness, it will tell you how to proceed.

Question: So after every meeting, I should feel dissatisfied like you did when you studied with Rabash and felt empty and annoyed that you did not understand anything?

Answer: We must feel both suffering and joy.

The Creator sends us anger and rage to test how we will behave.

But we must correct our impression of these qualities and transfer them to the path of good. When we are angry, we cut ourselves off from the qualities of the Creator, as these do not exist in Him. As a result, we remain separated from holiness.

If we try to keep holiness, bestowal, love, and connection from leaving us and try to keep ourselves in this state, then there is a gradual rapprochement with these properties, and so we correct ourselves.

Let us rise above anger, and we will see how it transforms and flows into holiness.

Question: How can we perceive what constitutes reward and punishment for us and work with it correctly in the group?

Answer: Reward and punishment are opportunities to fulfill the conditions of the Creator. The lack of such an opportunity also belongs to the category “reward and punishment.”

Question: Do we have to imagine any forms of this area? Or, based on the fact that I do not think about it, faith above reason is born?

Answer: No, faith above reason cannot just appear in us. We must understand that we are under the influence of the Creator’s laws, the laws of higher nature, and therefore, must comply with them.
