I perceive our world as some kind of imposed barrier between me and the Creator; the meaning of this picture is hidden from me—who supplies it to me, why, and with what purpose. Therefore we must somehow get through these layered concealments in order to grasp Him and begin to reveal Him.

The very beginning of this revelation consists in the fact that first I begin to imagine that everything around me is a picture that the Creator develops through an effort of will. This entire world in its three-dimensional image with all the people acting in it, with everything that happens is what the Creator draws before me.

Second, the fact that I exist with my qualities, properties, desires, my view of this world, and all my initial data—with the help of which I see and feel it exactly like this—is also planned and created in me by the Creator in advance. Therefore the external picture of the world, everything that is around me and inside me and everything that is obtained in the connection between my internal properties and external influences, called “the world”—all is from the Creator.

And where am I myself? I myself am only an effort striving to hold the picture in such a way that everything that is drawn before me is from the Creator. Everything that is in me, all my properties with the help of which I see and analyze this world, also come from Him.

And my efforts, too, probably come from Him. Who prompts me to look for the source of life, the meaning of life, the essence of existence, and why everything happens around me like this is also the Creator.
